How can I locate my stolen iPhone?

I had not installed any tracking software on my phone, I dont know how to track it, Police complaint is useless. Is there any way I can track its GPS location

So far as I know, if you don't have Apple's Find My iPhone app installed or another tracking app then I don't know how you can track it. If the police can do anything at all then I'd enquire after that, as I did hear about a robbery recently where the theives took gadgets from a home but threw an iPhone out of their van a few miles down the road as it could track them. The theives were eventually caught. Still, this may have had tracking software. Talk to the police and see what they can do, and maybe go into your local police station, but if that doesn't work I'd say it's gone I'm afraid mate

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    How can I get my stolen IPhone 4 serial Nom.?

    Another option is if you synced the iPhone with iTunes on the computer. If you did that, go into iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and locate your last backup. If you hover the mouse over that backup, it will display the serial number, phone number, IMEI, and UIUD.

  • Hello I would like to ask if someone knows how can I found my stolen iphone?

    Hello I would like to ask if someone knows how can I found my stolen iphone?

    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.

    iCloud is not downloaded... there is nothing to download.
    Was Find My iPhone enabled prior to the device being lost?  If it was not, there is no way to track the device.

    How can I locate a stolen iPad?

    Go to www.icloud.com, sign in, open "Find My iPhone" and then try to locate your device. (Of course it is necessary that your stolen device is connected to a network/wifi and that you set up "Find My iPhone" before it got stolen)

  • TS4020 How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

    How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

    If you activated Find My iPhone, then log into www.icloud.com and you can try to track your device. If you did not activate Find My iPhone, you cannot track it. Also, if the device has been turned off, not connected to wifi, it cannot be traced either, and will show up offline in iCloud.

  • TS4006 how can i locate a STOLEN ipod immediantly ?

    How can i LOCATE a STOLEN ipod ?

    It can only be located if you enabled Find My iPod on it before it was stolen.  It also would have to have be turned on with connection to the internet and still have your iCloud settings intact in order for it to be tracked.  (Unfortunately, criminals often restore them as new devices so they cannot be tracked.)
    If you enabled this before it was stolen, you can try going to icloud.com on your computer to track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.
