HT1349 I lost my Iphone 3GS and I have the serial number for my phone, Can I lock the phone?

I lost my 3GS phone couple day ago, however someone tell me I can lock the phone in case if my information leak out.

Sorry, serial number is useful for police record but not for finding your iPhone.
If you have Find My iPhone configured, you can send a message, lock yor iPhone, wipe your info and even locate it using iCloud services but since you didn't, your chances are zero.
What you can do is call your cell provider to block the number so you won't end up with a huge bill. Change all your passwords that you used on the iPhone. Report lost to the police.

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

Contact your carrier and ask them.

Only if you walk around and look for it/ask others if they have seen it.

If you are receiving a messages that says the maximum number of free iCloud accounts has already been created I'm afraid you won't be able to create a new account on your phone.
Each device can only create a certain number of iCloud accounts. Once they have been created you cannot create a new one. You also can't delete one of the accounts to allow you to create a new one. All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

I have keynotes on my iPad2 and keynotes remote on my iPhone 3GS and I have them both connected to the Bluetooth but my iPad states that there's no connection between them how do I fix this

Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

Stop Lost Mode or change your contact info
                           Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).                                                      If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
                           Click All Devices, then select the device that’s in Lost Mode.
                           Click Lost Mode, then change the information or click Stop Lost Mode.

Dowload any new free app from the App Store.

Seems your story has changed... not seeing is not the same as not supported.
If the phone is carrier locked, you need a SIM from the carrier it's locked to to activate it. The sim does not have to be active, it just has to be one from that carrier.

I lost my Iphone, I know I have the ability to find it, but I don't know how... any suggesting on how to track it...

Do you have find my iphone enabled on you iPhone?
If so you can locate, play a sound on, track, remotely lock, or erase your lost iOS device. You can use Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find on any Mac or Windows computer, or download and use the freeFind My iPhone app on an iOS device.
