How to help someone find his lost iphone

How to help a friend find his lost iphone ?
Item lost is iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1 installed.
iCloud is not set on the device, but have the imei no.

If icloud was not set of the device (and thus the "find my iphone" service was not turned on), then there's nothing you can do to find the lost device except help the friend search the house and other areas - in other words, there is no technology that can help.
Be sure the friend has contacted their carrier to have them shut down service and possibly contact the police.
Knowing the IMEI is of no help to Apple, they do not track these nor serial numbers.

I am trying to locate someone's lost iPhone using the "Find my iPhone" app. Why does safari keep re-directing me to the install Find My iPhone page? Why can't I log in to MobileMe from my iphone?

Apple don't give access to the MobileMe web site from an iPhone. To use the service you need to use apps, like the Find My iPhone app.

How to find my lost iphone no app instaled

How to find my lost iphone no app installed. There is a way to find my iphone by serial number, ip adress or something please help me.

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone 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, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

How to find my lost iphone 4S?

Last month,My iphone 4S was stole by someone in the supermarket .Who can tell me how to find the lost iphone 4S? All positioning was closed. if you have any ways , please tell me . thanks a lot .

If you didn't setup the "Find my iPhone" service on your phone before it was stolen, then you have no chance of finding it. Even if you had, a savvy thief would know how to turn it off or wipe the device to prevent it being found.

Otherwise, the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse

- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPad (it erases it) using it.

How to find my lost iPhone

How to find my lost iPhone? My phone was stolen last night, I have the serial number, and there is a lot important imfoations in my phone, how can I find it? I gave already report this to the police

If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). If you can get a location, you can give that information to the police, who may or may not act on it.
If you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track it. You've already contacted the police, so the only other thing to do is change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

HT1976 How can I find my lost iPhone 4

How can I find my lost iPhone 4

One way is through the Find My Phone application but provided that:-
1) the iPhone is connected to the internet (be it by way of Wifi OR data); and
2) you have previously activated the feature.
Then again, even if the above conditions are true, you will most probably only get the rough location of the phone and not the "exact" location of it.For instance, if the iPhone is in a high rise building with 60 floors, you will only know it is in the building but never which floor it is.
Unless you are carrying your laptop all around, activating the Siren would assist you in finding your iPhone.
Good luck (Taken style)

Your question isn't at all clear. Is this a second-hand phone which has been locked by the previous user? In that case only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
You should not post serial numbers or any other personal data here; I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

How to find my lost iPhone if it is switched off?

Go out and look for it. Any form of remote tracking, including find my iPhone, requires that the device be powered on, and that it be connected to the internet (wifi or cellular doesn't matter - but it must have an active internet data connection).
If powered off, it is as inert as a brick - no way to do anything via remote commands to it at all.

how to find my lost iphone if wireless is off?

If you had enabled find-my-iPhone before it was lost, you could track it as long as it had a data connection - either 3G or wifi, doesn't matter which just so long as the iPhone and the iCloud servers can talk to each other. But, in order to track it at all, you need to enable the find setting under your iCloud account's settings on the iPhone before it goes missing.
After it has been lost (and without the tracking setting enabled), with or without a data connection, there is nothing you can do to track it remotely.

Help me find my lost photos....

Hi there. I use a iMac with adobe bridge and photoshop elements. Yesterday I loaded up some pics into adobe bride. They went into two seperate file folders in adobe bride. I wanted to merge the two files together so all the photos from that shoot would be together so I dragged the one file over to "pictures" in adobe bridge and instead of dropping into "pictures" it just sat above it...so I tried dragging it again and then a question mark appeared where the folder was and then it disappeared.....poof gone! I labelled the pictures "lbengagement" so I thought ok just nee to locate them in finder and move them back. I CANNOT FIND THEM ANYWHERE.......I have looked and looked and they literally seem to have disappeared. I even tried to pull it from recently opened becuase I had edited a few and I see a few of them in the list but when I click on it I cannot open it. Of course the memory card had already been erased and new pics taken over it and not to mention my external hard drive (my book live) went on the fritz this week and I am waiting for a replacement...but this happened sooo fast. I have check the trash and they are not in there...can someone help me find these lost pics somewhere on my mac? Thanks Jill

Thank you for your reply. Apologies i'm not very technologically minded. I basically backed up my iphone on my computer and then restored it. It gave me an option on my phone to 'restore as new' which i did NOT do... or another option.. can't remember what it said now but it basically put most of the data back on my phone including music, apps etc and most of my photos. However 2 or 3 albums are missing, the entire photo stream, all my notes and also most importantly all my messages which i'm really sad to have lost.
After i realised they were lost i stupidly plugged my phone back in which did an automatic sync so now the latest sync is one done after the loss of data. I read somewhere that there should be a list of back ups but i only seem to have the latest (post deletion) one.
Thanks for your response

HT4623 Is there any way to find a lost iPhone once the phone's battery has expired?

I have lost my iPhone(4)and the battery is dead. I have the "locate device application", however, I know the battery is dead. To my knowledge, once the battery has expired, it cannot be retrieved using the "lost device/find my device" application.?? Is this correct? If so, is there another way to find this lost iPhone?

Thanks for taking the time to respond!!
I didn't think so, but was hoping this was a time, that someone knew something that I didn't.
