If your carrier offers a blacklist feature which prevents someone else from re-activating the phone with your carrier, contact your carrier to report your iPhone as lost or stolen.
And if you weren't using the iPhone Passcode Lock feature, change the password for every email account you were accessing with the iPhone's Mail app.

I recently bought an iPhone 5s from boost mobile I thought service would be decent but it really *****. I'm wondering if there is any way I can switch carriers maybe to us cellular seeing that they recently added new prepaid plans and have good service in my area. I do know boost operates with sprint but not sure what I can do because having an expensive phone with crappy service really *****
Sorry, but Boost reportedly does not offer unlocking for iPhones, so you're stuck with them unless you can return the iPhone for a refund and cancel the service, or can sell the iPhone to someone who could use it with Boost.

On the settings I went to iCloud then went to storage and backup and it saus total storage 5.0 gb and avaible storage is 2.7 gb but all of my photos arent there. Then when I click manage storage it says camera roll 2.0 gb is there any way i can get my photos back? please help
If you use the same iCloud ID and before you will get your contact, calendar and notes and other iCloud things back. If your previously has PhotoStream one you will also get back the last 30 days of photos.
It appears you do not use the same iCloud ID.
What do you see for Contacts, Calendar and Notes when you go to icloud.com and sing in with the same ID. You need a computer browser.

My iPhone got stollen, is there any way Apple can block it so that those thieves cannot use it?
So someone has stollen my iPhone and I've been told that if I contact Apple and I give them some details about my iPhone that are within the box when I bought they should be able to block the whole phone so it's completely unfunctional ever again. It has been missing for two months, they switched it off because I cannot find it on "Find my iPhone" app, so if I can block it I would happily do so because I bought it free (no contract) and it cost me a lot of money.
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. -

You cannot. No way around it. It's different software, though it is the same iOS.

i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

I bought a iphone 4 on online . But the guy forgot the his apple id pasword and i cant restore the iphone cuz i need the password is their any way i can restore the iphone . ??
iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone. -
i have recently lost my iphone 4 , it had icloud installed , which i was monitoring on the internet, but my phone wasn't turned on . i accidently deleted icloud on my pc , is there any way i can reverse this , to enable me to try to find my phone
You can simply login to iCloud: https://www.icloud.com and then go to Find My iPhone...but if the iPhone is turned off or restored to factory settings it won't show up.

If I lost my Iphone, but when I tried to locate with ICloud - find my Iphone it's offline. I lost in another country which means that there is no Internet connection on my phone. Is there any chance to find?
In order for a lost iPhone to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPhone' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible. You can't use the serial number or IMEI number to locate a phone: the former is only useful to identify it as yours if it turns up, and the latter can be used by most service providers to block it, rendering it useless and preventing anyone from spending your credit.

I lost my Black iPhone 5, 2 days ago. Someone stole it. Find my iPhone app wasn't installed, it's not on. Is there any way I can turn on "Find my IPhone" on my phone from my computer or can I track it with the serial number ? Please help.
I guess no but they can't use it because most likely they restored it and the name of your find my iphone will disappear on your computer even if it is on because it does not have your name anymore.

Just bought new Mac pro when I sync my iPhone 4 i lost all my contacts on the phone .tried restoring from backup no luck .is there any way I can retrieve my contacts
Why don't you just restore the to your pc from your most recent backup? You'll get the warning about erasing the media on the phone, but since you'll have all of your media and apps restored from backup, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

i have one computer and 2 iphones i want to sync music on. but we want different music on the phones. is there a way i can make 2 libraries on 1 itunes?
You can create an alternate library: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
But it is easier to create one or more playlists and sync by selected playlists. You can have some playlists for both phones and others for just one phone.
