Has anyone found their lost Iphone with Icloud succefully?

I recently had my Iphone stolen and my Icloud picked it up for a breif moment in front of someones house. I am from Illinois and it was stolen in Wisc. I had a friend go the house but it was a little old lady. Im pretty sure she did not live alone but my friend did felt a little uncomfortable even going to the door for me. When I continue to go on to Icloud it says my phone is offline but as of today I have been able to call it and it rings until my voicemail picks up. Before it would go to voicemail. Am I correct that there is a chance the sim card is still intact? I did put a lock on the phone so they are not able to access the phone except if they call the number provided by the "This phone is Lost" app I was able to us from Icloud. I am just looking for a little bit of hope that the phone could still be retrieved or brought online somehow before I completely give up home and have it erased. Any success stories or advice anyone has. I did call the police and have yet to get intouch with an officer to file a report but did get feed back that they could not go to the house without a warrent.

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • My wife has a new Ipad and Iphone with icloud. We also have a Imac that has not been upgraded yet that is somehow syncing with her ipad and screwing up the apps. Is there anyway to prevent this. Maybe it is thru mobilme?

    I think iCloud isn't coming until this fall and not until iOS 5 is publicly available. Right now there is confusion because all this stuff is still in beta and things are under NDA and may still change.
    I'd just set the 3GS up the same as currently. When iOS 5 is available in the fall (and I don't think Apple has specified beyond "fall"), before you update, there should be any number of guides to setting things up and how it will all work. http://macworld.com is a good place to look for such information.

  • Dear All Has anyone found a break through with the issue of Connect to itunes to use push notifications

    Dear All Has anyone found a break through with the issue of Connect to itunes to use push notifications

    Did you get any help on this? From what I can see from surfing this site, it's a BUG that no one has offered a solution to. It sometimes happens after a 'reset' and going to ITunes does not offer a way to 'set up push notifications'.

  • Find lost iphone with icloud shut off

    How do you find (or can you) a lost iphone (3GS) with icloud shut off

  • Has anyone dropped their new iphone yet?

    So I dropped my phone on the carpet the other day, well actually it rolled on the carpet and I had a speck purple case on it.  So far it has been working fine.  Just wanted to get an opinion from others who may have dropped their phone, if it still works.

    I was just worried because it is my first iPhone and I didn't know if just because there is nothing visibly broken, maybe something on the inside isn't working right?  Like a loose circuit or whatever. 

  • Has anyone found their cutaway photo in iMovie 11 to be corrupted by an erroneous 2nd cutaway photo that appears in the middle of the chosen photo? It's really strange!

    I'm working on an iMovie video with cutaway photos. Everything was great until I was nearing completion. I decided to take another full view of the project as I have trough out the project. Now I have a serious problem in that my first cutaway has an erroneous 2nd cutaway that appears 1 second after the selected cutaway starts. I can change photos and it doesn't change the outcome. The same photo appears.  If I remove the photo from the clip, the clip plays flawlessly. I was working near the end of the movie at the time and the problem is at the very beginning. I hope someone understands what I'm saying.  It's a pretty strange thing to happen...even by mistake. Apple says you can't do a cutaway inside a cutaway. So I don't know how I can do it with a missed keystroke on a slip of the finger. I hope someone has a direction for me! Thanks

    Hello,  We are having a similar problem running iMovie '09.  We get the exact same error as you reported. 
    "Unable to prepare project for publishing" The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-50)
    We have a very similar situation were we have multiple repeated clips.  However, our clips are 2.4 's.  Like you, we took the finished project and started eliminating edits that we thought might be preventing it from exporting. The following actions still would not allow the project to export:
    removing title pages
    removing transitions
    removing imported music from iTunes
    removed another clip from another event
    closed all other programs
    closed iMovie, powered off computer, opened iMovie, tried to export
    reconfirmed the last project exported would still export - it did without issueThe only difference between the project that will export and the one that does not are these short (2.4's) repeating clips
    When we create the new project from the recorded event without making any edits (just as recorded), it exports without issue.  We have started the arduous task of adding back in each edit and testing it for export until we determine which edit is causing it to "not export".  This is a very inefficient way of troubleshooting.
    This is a science project for my son and we need to be able to save it as a QT or mpeg4 movie so that he can submit it to his teacher for viewing and a grade!
    Any ideas from any other users would be greatly appreciated.

  • Has anyone received their C2D MBP with 3GB RAM?

    For those that have ordered a 15" C2D MBP with 3GB of RAM:
    a) have you received their order yet, and if so, did it take a while to ship (mine's taking forever to ship);
    b) do you feel that the extra 1GB was worthwhile paying for in terms of performance under programs such as photoshop CS2 etc.
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   667 MHz PPC

    Yes, I received my 15-incher with 3gb of RAM and 160gb HD. I ordered about an hour after the store came back up with the updated specs on 10/24, it shipped late on 10/26, and I received it on 10/30.
    I've not tried CS2 - I have that but currently run it on my Dell desktop. I'll be migrating my photography workflow over to the Mac next spring, when Adobe univeral binaries become available, at which time I'll replace the Dell with a Mac Pro.
    I can say, having started working with the Aperture trial and Parallels running Windows XP (to which I have a gig of RAM dedicated when running the VM), that the extra memory seems to make a significant difference. I'm not at all sorry I bit the bullet for that extra gig - especially since Apple's price vis-a-vis that upgrade seems very reasonable relative to the aftermarket memory providers.
    Good luck on receiving yours soon. This is a wonderful machine...

  • Has anyone found a good case with a screen protector?

    My phone ships on July 14th. I'd love to get a case ordered and have it when my phone comes in.
    Suggestions?

    I love the incipio Silicrylic I had on my 3G. They have them coming out for the iPhone 4 but I'm not sure when. I keep checking their site to see if it's available yet but it isn't. They do have pictures of them on there though. Right now I'm just using a Basic black one also from incipio that is impact resistant. I bought that one from AT&T. I'm also having the InvisibleShield put on my today by Best Buy because I was afraid of messing it up.

  • Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone?   I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.

    Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone?   I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • HT4623 My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

    My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

    1st... make sure nothing's covering/smudging the camera lens.  then...
    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove the Camera app from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the Camera app
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

    Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?  Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5.  All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with  iOS 4.3.5?  Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution.  Thanks a bunch.

    Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
    This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
    I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
    If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
    Hope you get it sussed out.

  • Has anyone found a solution to the issue of default email account on iPhone continually changing?

    I am seeing an irritating problem with the default mail account, calendar and contacts list on my iPhone 4.
    Every so often (I think it happens randomly after syncing or even just connecting the iPhone to my iMac without syncing) I notice that some or all of my default email account, calendar and contacts list have changed away from my desired default (which is my Exchange account).
    The iPhone is running iOS 4.3.5 (8L1) and I'm using iTunes 10.4.1 on my iMac.
    I found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1639451 dating back 2 years to the days of iOS 2.1 without any solution. Googling hasn't helped me find any answers yet.
    I have 5 accounts set up on the iPhone - a MobileMe "Find my phone" account that's only used for that purpose, not email, a GMail account, a couple of vanilla IMAP accounts and my main, Exchange 2010-based account that I use for mail, contacts and calendar.
    Most frequently after a change I find that the default email has switched to the GMail account, the calendar and contacts lists have switched to my iPhone and most of my Exchange account mail folders are empty and have to re-sync when I tap on them.
    I know from Googling that other people have been seeing similar issues.
    Has anyone found a workaround or solution?

    Has no one found any solutions to this?
    Or at least what causes it (so that it might be avoided)?
    I find it difficult to believe this issue has existed so long in iOS without being addressed!

    i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
    That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

  • Has anyone found the solution to email disappearing with Apple Mail?

    Hello,
    I have seen quite a number of postings about email disappearing with Apple's Mail client, regardless of what account they are using (yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.). What I have noticed is that email vanishes right in front of my eyes from the folders I have created to keep my email in order. Sometimes I move a message or several and I see them in the folder for a day or two, and then a few days later they are simply gone. This happens from the sent folder too. It is random. No, they are not in the trash, or junk, or anywhere else. Doing a full search turns nothing. They are really, really gone.
    Sometimes, I go to a folder and I see how in a second one or several messages disappear from the list and that is it. Never to be found again. Not even if I visit the web-based account I can retrieve them. They are gone.
    The worst part is when they disappear from my sent folder immediately after they leave the outbox, so I am not sure if it sent or not, and I have to retype the whole thing again just to make sure.
    This is extremely annoying, and I have seen I am not the only one to which this happens. Has anyone found a fix for this bug? Should I simply keep all my email in my inbox? Or should I just give up on Apple Mail and use Thunderbird?
    I have an old powerbook G4 with 10.4 and Mail 2. Not like it makes much difference, I've seen people complaining about the same issue in later versions of OS and Mail.
    Thanks for any help
