Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html
Note that these features require you have the "Find My iPhone" activated before you lose the device, and that the device be turned on, and able to connect to a registered WiFi connection (iPad or iPad Touch) or 3/4G data network (iPhone), and not having been restored by a finder of the device. If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com/

Short answer is probably, "No."

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?
Anything is possible.

Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and just a few days ago the phone was online and it automatically locked itself since I've put it under lost mode and the thief probably switched off the phone immediately so that I cant locate it. Is it possible for me to have the last known location where he/she turned on the phone so that I can track it down from the last location? Thank you
Correct.
The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored. -
My Macbook was stolen a few days ago, says it is locked
My macbook was stolen about 5 days ago, along with my ipad. As soon as I discovered they were gone, I tracked them using Find my iPhone but they both show up as offline. The weird thing is that the computer says it was locked Monday evening before I even got home. Does this mean the thief somehow locked my computer? It is still showing up on my app using my Apple ID to sign in. The weirder thing is that the computer does NOT show up if I log into my Apple ID on a computer to find the serial number. I have called Apple and they say that maybe it is linked to a different Apple ID, but I even logged out and back in to Find my iPhone and it still shows up on that list. So theoretically it is still linked to my Apple ID.
I had a password for logging in to my computer, but not if it was just closed and then opened, which I assume would have been the case. There is a slight chance that the computer would reset itself (it is fairly old, 2008 but updated to Mountain Lion) and then prompt for a password. Would an incorrect password entered several times have locked out the thief?
At this point, I would have just chosen to erase the computer remotely, but since it is already showing as locked, this option is not available to me. I was able to set my ipad to erase if it ever comes back online.
Anyone out there have any ideas as to how the macbook was locked?Welcome to the Apple Community.
if you are referring to your data being safe, then a screen lock will likely be enough to protect it, if not and you are relying on remote wipe by wifi, then of course it's always possible the thief can acces your data by turning it on and not connecting to wifi. -
Help !
I bought a new ipod and it was stolen so I tried to reconnect my old ipod classic 30 gb back to the computer but it wont sync just the red flashing no entry sign Ive tried all the suggestions under help but no go
ThanksHi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
More details here > iOS: Syncing with iTunes -
My earbuds got chewed up by my cat and they are brand new just got the phone 4 days ago
If you charge your cat rent to live with you (assuming your cat has a job), then you can add the cost of replacement to the rent or take it out of the security deposit. With your new funds, you can go to Apple and buy a new pair of headphones. Hope this helps.

I had my iphone 4 stolen, replaced with new one same day and downloaded info saved to the cloud. The next day all that info disappeared and have not been able to get any of the old info back. Is there a way to get this info.
I think you will have to do a complete restore--you will lose any info added since last backup. Connect phone to computer, select it in souce list. Next, click on Summary tab, click Restore. In the next dialog box, click Restore--your phone will be erased and the latest software will be installed. Click agree to terms and phone will restart. Then you will see the phone setup screen--click on Restore from Backup and select the most recent backup. Obviously, this will only work if you have a backup on the computer. If not, check Set up as New Phone, click continue, then wait for the process to finish.

I purchased an Iphone 5S in January and have been successfully dictating e-mails and texts using punctuation in my dictation. A few days ago it started spelling out the punctuation in the email or text, what did I do to cause that to happen ? thanks.
Don't expect support here. Nokia does not bother to pay a tech or two to support the people who have bought the 920. Not really a point to these forums.
Anyways, i have huge bt issues as well. Cannot connect or see my jawbone. In truck with pioneer nav system (it is illegal here to use a phone without handsfree in vehicle) it links, but when i make a call or receive a call it shows the phone off the receiver icon so it knows call in progress, but i either get no sound from the caller... at all, or i get a robotic mess i cannot decipher. when i cannot hear anything, people can hear me, but when i hear robotic, people can hear me but with distortion. However, when it reads a text message, the phone voice is fine through the system. Because i have to turn bt off then to use phone, i have to return this handset and just go back to android.
Have also had this drop calls a few times now as reception is probably the worst i have seen in a decade... even drops in downtown core. Battery life poor because i assume its always struggling for a signal. -
Recently had my iPhone 5 stolen.for messaging.
Recently had my iPhone 5 stolen. It looked like the thief actually turned it on today, as I received a weird "iPhone is now using (email address) for messaging. Tell me, can I track the phone using iMessages?
I hadn't gotten to enabling it. Only had it 5 days. It is disabled and registered as stolen with the cell company. Just wondered if other methods of tracking would work.
It'll eventually become a brick, since I don't think a charge cable can be had. -

Ever since my iPhone 4 automatically updated a few days ago with iOS6 the majority of my phone's apps are either very slow or will not work at all (game apps). Is anyone else having this problem? and is there a fix?
since morning today i have been running the iphone 4 with safari icloud sync turned off. i also left bookmarks sync from itunes off. i unplugged the charger at 100% charge at excatly 10 am. i am on 86% at the moment and its 5.30 pm. however i had to plug in the phone to my macbook for 3g internet access at about 91% which got it charged back to 100%. that was for about 30 minutes. so i guess i would had been at around 75% if i hadn't done that.
so i think people are right about the bookmark causing battery drain thing.
tomorrow i am gonna try with the phone rebooted and charger to 100%, with no location service running in the background, just when the app is running, and with all bookmarks deleted from my iphone. if i have to use 3g off my iphone i would use wifi personal hotspot. usually all this use... a few calls, some internet access, whatsapp, maybe a few pictures, and music for say about 2 hours should still leave me 40-50% battery by night, after 16 hours of use. if that goes well, i might have saved my self restoring the iphone to new.
as for the mac, i figured out a way to use timemachine for a smaller hdd. i will simply 'move' those files i dont want to keep on my ssd anyway, to an external hdd. like podcasts, videos and movies. then take a TM backup when the used space is under 120 gb. and then restore that to the SSD. should work, hopefully.

I lost my iphone 4 a few days ago. It's turned off, anyone know of anyway to locate it?
I lost my iphone 4 a few days ago. It's turned off, anyone know of anyway to locate it?
The Correct and unfortunately only answer would be ..... to look in the last place you had it before you lost it !
Or hope that someone charges it, turns it on, and you accidentally look at "find my phone" while this is all happening..... or a good person turns it into your provider so that they can return it. -
I went in to my settings and worked and worked with it to no avail. So I decided to delete that account and try to re-add it. Forget it. I have worked for 2 days now or more and tried everything under the sun. I am not a computer geek but I am no dummy to them either. It always says server is not working or something like that. I have become so fed up with computer technology lately that I want to take my laptop, tablet and all of it and throw it against a brick wall. Why has everything become so complicated? I thought computer technology was improving. Not! Also, every single update rim had done has taken from my battery. When I first got it I could read on kobo for hours with no change in battery status hardly. After each update my battery got weaker and weaker until now I am lucky if I get an hour out of it on anything online and a good 2 hours reading, maybe. I loved it when I first got it, but it gets worse and worse. Help! I have a bellsouth email acct. and I used the info from my laptop and it gets and sends my mail just fine and has for forever. I just don't know what is up with it. And it would be so wonderful to have access to other readers besides just kobo. I tried to put some pdf books on it a few days ago and I could not get them to show up on my adobe reader for anything. I have others on there and some of them did and some didn't. Ugggh! What is up RIM with our tablets?
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -
