Hi, stolen iphone 5,  can it still be used????

Hi everyone,
About a month ago, my iphone got stolen. So, i had to report it to the law enforcement. They are saying that it'll be possible to retreive my iphone if a new sim card has been kept in it. Now, my question is , can it  still be used ? Because, when the thief ran off with my iphone, i turned on FInd My Iphone, unfortunately the phone was already turned off. So, what  if the guy had later on turned on the phone, will he be able to have access to the phone by restoring it ? Will the lost mode appear on the phone (even if it is not connected on a wireless internet connection) ?
Btw, the phone was an Iphone 5 with iOS 7
Thanks

No, the thieves can't use it, not unless they know your apple id and password.

  • If stolen iPhone deactivated, can thieves still access apps, data?

    Phone stolen. Reported, deactivated. Question: if thieves crack password, can they access apps, email, Facebook, data, etc?

    IF you use find my iPhone to remotely lock your phone, no one can access your information.  Have you gone on iCloud.com and done so?
    You can access icloud from another device with find my iPhone app, or a computer, login to your Apple ID and lock the phone.  This may also help locate the phone if it is on.

  • Stolen iphone 5, in what ways can it still be used?

    my iPhone 5 was stolen. It's erased and I have put a hold on my account. Can it still be used as an iPod and if so, why hasn't apple figured out how to disable the phone completely if stolen?  Makes me furious that my phone can still be used by a thief.

    Thats what I thought.  I DID have find my iPhone turned on and watched it roam all over the city while trying to play detective…Thought maybe they realized it could not be used and it seemed to stay in one area for a long time so we checked all garbage cans and dumpsters in the area, then watched as they moved. Thats when I deleted all of my info and called AT&T to suspend my line and report it stolen.  I did not have the latest update bc I did not want to delete my entire phone to update it.  So wondering if they can still plug it in and download music…

  • HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

    I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad.  I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe.  In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.

    Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small.  What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    If you didn't enable it on your iPod before it was lost you can't.  If you did, you may be able to locate it by going to icloud.com from your computer browser, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

  • TS4006 Have iCloud doesn't have find iPhone app can I still locate my fone?

    Have iCloud doesn't have find iPhone app can I still locate my fone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

    I set up my ipad a s new ipad rather than syncing with my iphone.  Can I still do this now that it has been set up or is it too late?

    Depends on what you want to sync.
    Contacts and calendars - yes with icloud.
    photos yes with computer and future pictures with icloud.
    Apps - does not make since, since apps are different for ipad and iphone.

    Thank you once again Matthew. I understand the importance of being thourough and followed your instruction exactly. I really thought that this would solve it and was ready to click 'This solved my question'. However I still have the same print options as before, no 'A1 on the roll'.
    Although, when I copied:
    'sudo pkgutil --forget org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip'
    into Terminal it did say somehting along the lines of 'nothing found' (sorry I didnt copy the text). Could this be part of the issue?
    In this case the instructions were incorrect.  I forgot that the uninstaller would run that command.  The reason for that command was to let the system know that foomatic-rip 4.0.6 had been removed.  I am sure that you were able to then install foomatic-rip version 3.43.2.15.  There are two ways to confirm that the older version is now installed.  First, if you can print at all, it is present.  You could also copy and paste the following command in the Terminal.  It should respond with the version that is installed:
    pkgutil --pkg-info org.linuxprinting.foomatic-rip | grep version
    Do I need to change the PPD at all?
    There is no need to change the PPD.  PPDs are reflective of the software (drivers) that are called from the PPD.  You can put anything you want in the PPD.  If that capability is not in the driver, having it in the PPD won't make it work.
    Setting a job to print from A1 Roll Paper is a two step process.  First you select the Paper Size which is A1.
    Then look under the pop up menu below Paper Size for an item called Paper Feed.
    Select Paper Feed.  Then you will be able to select where/how the paper is being fed to the printer.  This is where you can choose Roll Paper (Cut) or Roll Paper (No Cut) among other choices.
    Other drivers may have A1 Roll Paper listed under Paper Size.  Perhaps that is how the HP driver was.  There would still have had to be a place, then to check whether or not you wanted the paper to be cut and/or whether you were feeding sheets of paper from one of the other paths.
    Let us know if you can find all the options now and that you are able to keep your normal workflow.
