How to track stolen iPhone when it's offline when tried to locate it through Find My iPhone at iCloud?

My iPhone was stolen (through holdup) from me last August 3, 2012 around 10:30 PM while riding in a jeepney. Unfortunately, I try to locate it via iCloud's Find My iPhone App but it shows it's Offline. Now, is there any way to locate it when it's SIM card was replaced or was restored it in phone factory settings? Thanks in advance.

In order to track a phone you have to have enabled the app in advance, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. If any of these conditions is not true then there is no possible way to track it.

how to track stolen iphone4s?
I havent setup Icloud or findmyiphone on my device..So how i can track or Block my Iphone 4s?

Sorry, there is no way to track or block your phone. Report the loss to your carrier & the police. Change every password for anything you ever used a password for on your phone: email, iTunes, etc.

HT1222 I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove

And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
Thanks,

If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone. You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

I have bought an ipad, and when i go to reset it, it needs the restrictions password which i dont know. When i plug it into itunes, it asks to turn find my iphone off, which needs the password of the old owners itunes.What should i do?

If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

Why i dont get email notifications when someone uses my apple account to know my location through Find my Iphone?

Why i dont get email notifications when someone uses my apple account to know my location through Find my Iphone?

Try adding [email protected] as a VIP contact in your icloud mail app using the appleid used for icloud if using multiple accounts (i.e different itunes and icloud account).
But seriously that happens really !? not getting emails for using icloud services with a valid appleid.

Use it as a paperweight unlesss you can get hold of him. Doesn't sound like much of a "friend" to me.
Apple can't/won't help you.

I have lost my Macbook Air. Is there any way to track it using its serial number. I did not register it to find my iPhone before.

Change any vulnerable credit or bank info that might be got off your macbook. Have you contacted the authorities about its theft?

HT201365 How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

If you placed it in lost mode to lock it, sign into icloud.com, click on lost mode and turn it off. If it is locked with Activation lock you'll have to provide the password for the iCloud ID you are being prompted for in order to use it.

If a lost or stolen iPod touch is reset by the finder, will I still receive notifications through Find My iPhone if it connects to Wi-Fi after the reset?

If a lost or stolen iPod touch is reset by the finder, will I still receive notifications through Find My iPhone if it connects to Wi-Fi after the reset?

If the device is completely reset and restored to defult settings, then it will not notify you because all the account informmation will have been removed. (Which is probably a good thing too)

Hi Team, I have lost my iphone 5c and at the time it was off due to battery. Up to now I haven't been able to locate it using Find my iphone app... Please help me with ideas.

Sorry, there is no magic way to find it. You will need to search for it, as you would with any other object.

TS3991 What can i do it through find my iPhone?

If my iPhone has been stolen and i don't want the people that took my iPhone to see the contents of the phone. what can i do to erase the data on the phone? Like through "find my iPhone"? What can i do to erase or completely lock my iPhone without me touching the phone

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 and lock it. Using a computer, 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.
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).
AND, always use a passcode that must be used when a user first opens the device. It may seem like a pain at first, but you get used to it.
