HT1391 my phone has been stolen can apple top it from being used
My phone has been stolen is there a way of it being blocked so it cannot be used again?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

If it was jailbroken, no support by Apple or on Apple forums exists.
If it was unlocked by the carrier and you enabled Find my iPhone:

My ipod classic has been stolen can anybody download my personal photos from it
my ipod classic has been stolen can anybody download my personal photos from it
They can, but the images will only be the small thumbnail files that are created for optimized viewing on the iPod's smaller display. That is unless you store the images on the iPod in their full resolution.

i am not able to activate my Iphone- I have a SIM card but it keeps telling me there is no SIM card. My phone has been unlocked by Apple but keeps.
i got in Manhattan from AT&T-
This error came after I updated the software since Apple confirmed and I have spoken with them and they confirmed it is officially iunlocked since I have full filled their terms of the agreement.
This phone was working earlier since i had jail broken it.
I have been using it with jail break for about 2 years now -

hi my iphone has been stolen can i find 8 back f yes how?
<Re-Titled By Host>If you turned on Find My iPhone before it was stolen, then you can track it on icloud.com in a browser or the Find My iPhone app on iOS. Otherwise, you can't do anything.

My iPhone 4S has been stolen couple days ago how do I delete personal stuff without erasing the whole thing invasion recover my phone? BTW I have a pass code on it and it doesn't show it's been open, I'm still tracking it on find my iPhone but having trouble getting an exact location and has been offline for little more than 24 hrs....

You cannot. Wiping is an all-or-nothing deal. I would not be concerned since you have a passcode.

My iPod classic has been stolen can I register this somewhere to prevent its use?
Annoying how people don't respect other peoples things. My iPod Classic 160Gb has been stolen from my car. Can I register this somehwere to prevent its use or better still wipe it. I do have the SN.
ThanksSorry, but the Classic has no internet capabilities, so there is no way to wipe it. And without Find My iPhone (which requires Wifi or cellular, there is really nothing that you can do to trace it either).
Your only option would be to report it to the police...
Sorry about your troubles

Help my IPod touch has been stolen can we block it or wipe it
Hi can anyone tell me if we can swipe an iPod touch in anyway through iCloud or block it as its been stolen . Thank u
f you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

MY iPhone 5 screen smashed ages ago and I got a normal phone shop to repair it and that was 6 month ago my battery and the mother board is broken can apple repair this if I was to pay the bill and not asking them to cover anything
No. By having an unauthorized service shop open your phone you have forefited ALL service (both in and out of warranty) from Apple. Apple will never again touch that phone. Take it to the same "shop" that repaired it before.

My phone has been stolen. What now?
I'm concerned that valuable info has been breached. How do I wipe my phone clean?
If you set up find my iphone on the iphone itself and it is on and it has not been restored, then you may be able to do this via icloud.com.
Otherwise you cannot do anything but report it to the police and change your passwords and alert your carrier.
