I have lost my iphone. I have my iphone's locator on. Can Apple help me fine it? I have 30% battery life left on 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.

Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
Regards.

Try connecting the device to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restoring it. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to place the iPod into recovery mode.

Find My iPhone only keeps a history of locations after you put it in lost mode. It also has to be online to provide an updated location.

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen

If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Hi Guys I have lost my iphone I have not enabled mobileme can anyone help

Hi Guys. I have lost my iphone4. I have not enabled mobileme. Can any one help.

If you contact your network provider they may be able to lock it's IEMI number (stop the handset being used by anyone).
Most law enforcement don't want to, or have time to track phones.
So you may have no way to get it back.

I have lost the apertures, trash, sent and outbox. Can anyone help me?

I have lost the apertures trash,sent, and outbox on my iPad. Can anyone help me get them back?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Lost my iPhone 4s with no tracker. Can apple still track it?

I lost my iPhone 4s but didn't activate find my iPhone. I have a iPad which now has this setting activated. Is there anyway apple head office can find my phone. I have the serial number

it seem most of the service are not been used to there true capacity.
Find my iPhone isn't designed to locate stolen phones. It is designed to locate lost phones.
The difference between lost and stolen, is if the phone is stolen, the thief will do everything he can to avoid being found. So, he will turn the phone off, wipe it, not connect it to the internet, turn Location Services off etc. to prevent "Find my iPhone" from working.
If a phone is just lost, there is a much higher chance that "Find my iPhone" can do its job. Most honest people would try to return the phone to its owner and not turn it off, or they would hand it in to the police.

I have lost my iPhone , how do I locate it using my ipad?

How do I locate lost phone using ipad?

Is it lost lost, or just misplaced. If misplaced, have you tried calling your phone number and listen for the ring?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use 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.

Check the serial number (located on back/bottom) in this lost/stolen iPad database. However, most owners are not aware of this database and don’t enter the serial number.

Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

You need the find my iphone setup in order to track, remote wipe etc. I hope you changed passwords, contacted the police..

But as Carolyn Samit said above, you cannot track the iPhone by IMEI.

I have lost my iphone and did not have Find me set up. Is there any way that Apple or anyone can track the last location of my phone before it turned off?

I have lost my Iphone last week. I know this has been a while, but I am desperate. I have talked to At&t and there is no way they could track my phone with it turned off. So I was wondering if there's any way that we can check the last location of the phone before it died? And also, if there's any way we can ping the phone in case it was stolen and was turned on? I hope to read ur responses soon. Thank you.

If you did not setup Find My Phone, I'm afraid yo're out of luck. There is no practical way to track your phone.
