HT1267 finding my stolen phone

Hi, my iphone got stolen. "Find iphone" app was installed on my phone but I cant find my phone. Any help in locating the phone and IMEI no please.. thanks

Did you turn on Find my iPhone in Settings before it was stolen (this has nothing to do with the app, whose purpose is to find OTHER iPhones)?
Assuming you did, have you logged on the your iCloud account and clicked "Find my iPhone"?
What message did you get?
Find my iPhone will only work if you enabled it in Settings, and only if the thief did not turn the phone off, remove the SIM, restore the phone as New, or wrap it in aluminum foil.

Thnks

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

search for the thief.
Did you have Find my iPhone enabled on the phone? If so, see if it can be located on iCloud.com. If not, there's nothing to do but report the theft to your police and to your carrier.

How to find lost/stolen phone

I lost my iphone when it did not have any battery! How do i find it?

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.

I have never been so disappointed in apple! for such a well established company to not have another sercurity feature to find my stolen phone if the find my phone app is disabled. i sent countless emails to nurunesa and still no reply. WOW!!!

they stole my phone and there was anything you guys can do about it

Apple provided you with Find My iPhone.
As Peter pointed out, they are not in the business of law enforcement. They supplied you with the tools to secure your device and you chose not to use them.

Does find my iphone help to find a stolen phone if it is off?

Someone stole my phone at a track meet but it says device offline and the location is unavailable is there any way to find it now?

FInd my iphone wont work if your phone is off, sadly. It only works if the phone is on and connected to wifi, which is not hepful as the thief can easily turn off the phone of even wipe it without unlocking it. So unless he turns your phone on and hasnt wiped it yet, your phone is gone for good...
hope this helped,

How to find my stolen Nokia lumia 730

How to find my stolen Nokia lumia 730? I have disabled the Internet as well as location service. Is there any way to find the Stolen Phone? How can get to know if the device is used by other sim or other operator? i have windows phone account. I tried to search it using find my phone. But the device is currently switched off by the thief. Please help me to find out my stolen Nokia Lumia 730. I have registered a complaint in nearby police station.

shrikanth2306,
I do realise your situation. Sorry, as you have mentioned that the location services on your phone was turned off, you may not be able to track your phone using the "Find My Phone" service.
You did the right thing in reporting the incidient to the proper authorities. I also advise you to contact your local telecommunications agency to request for blocking of the handset.

TS4006 How can I turn on my device so I can locate my stolen I Phone??? And if not; how can I pettition APPLE that there is a defect in "Find My I Phone". If its stolen do I need device to be on in order to find????

How can I turn on my device remotely so I can locate my stolen I Phone???
And if there is a way but I just don't know then educate me please!!!!
And if not then how can I petition APPLE that there is a defect in "Find My I Phone".
If its stolen I should not need device to be on in order to find unless I can turn on remotely!!!!
Also another defect is that if the device is locked with a code then it should be really locked......
Why is it that you can still use buttons??????........
You should not be able to turn off unless you have the code!!!!!!
And with that defect corrected imagine how safe it would make the consumers if everyone knew that if a phone was locked, it was really locked!!!
Everyone would be able to find their phones and nobody could stop them from them finding their phones!!!!!
PROBLEMS SOLVED!!!!!! NOBODY'S I PHONE WOULD EVER BE STOLEN!!!!!!
Does anyone know can you turn on remotely??????

You cannot turn it on remotely. Griping and complaining won't make it any better.

Hi
please ,How i could find my I phone 4s which is stolen , and how i could get copy of my photos that i have stored in i phone it'self ?

Your only chance is with the Find My iPhone option with a free Apple iCloud account.
Were you accessing an iCloud account on your iPhone with Find My iPhone turned on with the account settings?
iCloud also includes a PhotoStream feature which can stream the photos in the Camera Roll to your computer as well as to other iOS devices.
If not being used and you didn't import the photos with your computer as with any other digtial camera nor update your iPhone's backup since the photos were captured, the photos are gone unless your iPhone is re-covered as is.

Stolen phone sprung into action on Find My iPhone...

My phone was stolen a few months ago. I did all the right things via FindmyiPhone but it remained offline... Today, I got a weird generic email saying "Get set up and start enjoying iCloud today"... I logged into Find My iPhone, where I still have the device registered and at the exact time I got the email, the update log says it was erased at that time.
So presumably, someone has just started using it, but what does this mean for me and the fact that my email address is still attached to it. And will anything happen that makes it discoverable again??
He stole it from right out of my hands so I would love to know what happened to it...

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

How to find my stolen i phone

how to find my stolen i 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. 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 it is 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).
