There is nothing that Apple can do about this. The only way to locate and/or wipe the phone is via Find My iPhone and you have done that. In this last post you state, "give it away", are you referring to giving the thief the passcode? If so, then your data has been compromised. Until the device is connected to the Internet to execute the wipe command, the data is available for the thief to view. Nothing anyone here can say or do can change that. You need to immediately change the passwords for all accounts that were on the phone to help prevent them from accessing them. Report the theft to law enforcement.

I lost my iPhone and I believe someone has found it but hasn't returned it I never turned on the find my iPhone is there anything else I can do to find it? The reason I believe some has it Is because of my pictures on my iPad they took pictures and must have uploaded them cause I now have pictures of kids. What can I do.. I do not know these kids
Without Find My iPhone turned on, there is not a lot you can do. Sounds like you didn't have a Lock Screen lock on either. Thre is nothing to prevent the thief from using it. They will not be able to resotre it, and if they try, it will then lock them out with an Activation Lock that will completely disable the device.
You need to report it to the police, change your Apple/iCloud/iTunes password, and contact your carrier to suspend servce to the device.
Sorry about your troubles,

HT1766 I lost my iPhone and would need to recover the photos, notes, etc., from my last backup
I lost my iPhone 3GS a few days ago and I want to recover all the photos, notes, etc., from my last backup. How can I do that?
Thanks!Backup from where? itunes or icloud?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Or choose a backup in itunes if that's where it is. -

HT4061 I lost my iphone and i have not enabled the find my iphone. Is it possible to trace it back?
I lost my iphone yesterday. Is it possible to trace it back with the serial no. I have in apple support?
Sorry, no.

Is there any other way to find a lost phone besides the 'Find my IPhone' application? Please help.
No.
Any tracking program would have to be installed and activated before the iphone went missing.
Sorry. -
I lost my iphone and i don't have the app to trace it, how do i find it?
I lost it yesterday at my friends house, I don't have the app on my iPhone, but I really need this phone back in my hands because it stores much important information on it. I really need anybody's help.
Report it to the local police. Give them as much information as you can and hope for the best. Your important information should be included in your regular back ups.
Best of luck. -
I just got an Iphone and would like to put the music I had on my Ipod touch
on it but I deleted the music from itunes (kept it on my ipod of course) so that I could use the same computer to do my daughter's ipod without her having to have all my music on hers. Is there anyway I can get the music off my touch to itunes so that I can put it on my iphone?
Your iPhone or iPod is NOT a primary storage device. The music lives on your computer and is basically loaned out to your mobile devices for play on the go.
If you have a backup of the iTunes library, you will need to restore it. Otherwise, there is no offically supported way to get music from your phone to your computer other than music purchased on the device from the iTunes store.
If you don't have a backup of your music library, you'll probably need to get the CD's out and start ripping.
Next time, instead of deleting the things you don't want your daughter to have access to, consider creating a separate user account on the computer for her and letting her create her own iTunes library there. -
heey guys whats up listen i have a problem i lost my iphone and it has all my pic's and some information that i really really need it what should i do .... is there any way that i can get back the i phone ??? please help me
You can look for it.
If you find it, you will have it back.
If you had find my iphone activated on the iphone BEFORE it was lost, then you may be able to track it. -
help i lost my iphone and i have the find my iphone app on my phone but cant seem to figure it out without my iPhone
Did you have Find My iPhone enabled on your iPhone in its settings? If so, go to www.icloud.com and use your Apple iCloud ID to use the Find My iPhone app.

I lost my iPhone and its locked is there anyway that they can hook it up to there computer and get access? Also, Apple can help by using my Apple ID number, right?
If there's a passcode on it(good for you!), then whoever stole it can only access your information if they can guess your passcode. However, they would likely get it disabled before guessing correctly, and be forced to Restore it. At that point, your information would be wiped off the device.
And Apple can do nothing to help you, unfortunately. If you did, however, set up "Find My iPhone" before you lost it, then you can track the device. If not, then sorry - you're probably not getting your iPhone back. -
i lost my iphone and i couldnt track it because the one who stole it shut it
you've lost you're phone, you can report it stolen but i doubt they will find the person, or if you had insurance use that. there is like a 1% chance you will find it. &like someone else said, the theif cant use it if it had a passcode lock or without your apple id and password
