Where can i report my iPhone lost to Apple? and Can Apple lock it?

If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked and locked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to sign up when you still have the phone and have to pay for the service.
If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit nor lock it, though if you set a screenlock passcode, it would be locked already. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

Only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock
it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Apple does not unlock iPhones - wireless carrier has this responsibility.

You will have to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number so they can advise who it is locked with. Then you will have to contact that cell provider and find out what their unlock process is, if there is a fee, and if you qualify. If it is locked to a company that does not have an unlock policy then you will not be able to unlock it.

Where do I report someone pretending to be Apple to get my login info?

I received an email stating that my Apple ID was missing information and they provided a link to login and update my info.
http://login.apple.com.appleid.webobjects.myappleid.woa.njmlklkmlkmab6693.elimum itaani.com/Verify-localang=en_US/NTIzMTk4NDEwODc=/Login.php?login
They even tried to make the URL look like Apple and copied their pages. Elimumitaani.com seems to be some company in Africa.
This is a fairly elaborate attempt at stealing Apple IDs. I just want to know where to properly report this.
Thanks

Did you get the email in your iCloud email account? If so, see
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933
There is a web address near the end to report abuse to.

HT1391 where can I find a list of receipts for apps that I have purchased?

I receive an email with the reciept individual purchase but I would like to go to a common area in my account and view them for the year etc. for tax purposes, reimbursement etc. Is this option available?

You should be able to see the purchase history on your account via the Store > View My Account menu option on your computer's iTunes (I'm not sure whether it shows in-app purchases or auto-renewing app subscriptions as I've never made any) - that is the only place that I know of where you can see it (though if other people know other places hopefully they'll post).

HT1933 I am having a problem where EVERY app on my iPhone suddenly started crashing and NONE of them are now usable.

No clue why. Includes apple apps. I have no idea *which* of the 500 apps I should select to report. None were new at the time it started…, etc. Just doing the same old things with the same old apps one day (and no recent updates) and the next day everything was crashing within 5-65 seconds of opening the app. It's been that way ever since. Usually crash time is closer to 5 seconds after touching the app. Occasioinally I can get up to 30-40.
I have tried removing individual apps and avoiding using individual apps (particularly those that I always use; again, this is inexplicable.)
I have tried resetting the phone (2 button hold)
I have tried restarting.
I have tried using only apple apps. The phone app is the only one that is mostly usuable; if they called me, and the phone app crashes, it puts the green message bar at the top and usually doesn't disconnect, but it's hard to test and I rarely use the phone. Sometimes after a phone call the iPhone will remain stable for as much as 20 minutes.
I have tried using only one app.
I have tried restoring to a backup.
I have tried restoring and using it with *no* backup. It seemed to work for nearly an hour, even after redownloading a few old apps to the phone via 3G; problem is I have a handful of apps with data in them that is very important to me and I do not know any other way to back them up and get their data back on the iPhone. If I can isolate these apps' backup data and reset everything else, I'd be willing to try it.
I was convinced it was a hardware issue until I got the brief apparent success with restoring with no backup. (above)
I need new ideas… I can always bite the bullet and get a new phone, but I really want to find out how to make sure this problem doesn't crop up again.

Have you tried clean up the apps in the multitask window?
On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on eby one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again.

Updated iphone lost emails received and sent

Updated iphone 3GS and all ok apart from loss of all emails previously received and sent,can I recover these?

If you read the user guide, you'll realize that the phone is not intended as a storage device.
To prevent just what you are experiencing, contacts are meant to be synched with a program such as Address Book or Outlook. In the event your phone becomes unusable for any reason, your contacts are protected on your computer.
Same goes for photos. Photos taken by the iPhone, like any camera, need to be uploaded ASAP to your computer for proper archival and storage. Again, should something happen to your camera (iPhone) your photos are safe on your computer.
Naturally, you should be backing up your computer regularly as well, storing the backup far away from your computer.

Report stolen iPhone 4 to Apple?

I recently had my iPhone 4 stolen. I use MobileMe and I was able to track it to a house, remote-wipe it, and report the address to police. We'll see what happens. Anyway, someone told me that if I notify Apple, they'll be able to cross-reference any attempt to sync it with iTunes/their account by the serial number. So, any time the phone connects with Apple via iTunes, it's serial number will be flagged by Apple as stolen, and will record the IP address of the computer that's being used to sync it, allowing me to report it to the police.
Is this true?

As the others, I do not believe this to be true.

My iPhone lost all files and the screen won't turn on

I was using my iphone not suddenly all filies have been removed and the screen won't turn on and the phone is charged

How do you know all files have been removed if the screen won't turn on?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I bougt an Iphone 5 in Thailand, and It's locking button is broken how can i send it to guarantee

My iphone 5 locking button broken so i want to make it fixed . And i bought it thailand in 10.12.2012 and i am living in turkey so do ı have to send it thai or somewhere near turkey

You have to bring it to Thailand or send it to a friend/relative there to
take in for you. Apple Thailand will not accept international shipments
for repair/replacement nor will it ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
iPhone warranty is valid only in country of original purchase (EU is considered
one country for this purpose).

My iphone screen wont work, and my off lock screen button does not work, what can i do?

Hey guys,
can you please help! I have never been in this situation and i need help desperately

Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.

I lost my ipod and sent a lock request via icloud. But how do you cancel it?

I need the person who found it to log into the internet so I can locate it!!

I know of no way. I looked at previous discussions with your same questions and cound not find a way to canels any (wipe, lock) request.

I've reported my phone lost if some one finds it and is able to unlock the phone can they still use it thru wifi?

reported my iphone lost if lost if someone finds it and is able to unlock it can they still use its wifi features ?

Just in case....go to icloud.com/#find and see if your phone shows up.
If it doesn't, there is nothing you can do to prevent someone else from using it if they know the passcode. That means it's time to start changing any and all passwords you have for websites & apps.
