HT1688 my phone wasstolen it has the find my phone app but its turned off
My phone was stolen i have the app to find it but its not on and i'm scared he'll ditch it if the cops get involved. He's kinda a new person in my life but he did me dirty. stole 120 dollars. the guitar from blink 182 and some other little things. I need the proof so I need to find that phone . any advice you can give me?
If you failed to enable Find My iPhone in the Settings of the iPhone, or if it is turned off, or if the battery is dead, or if your "new person in your life" restored the phone, there is no way of finding the phone. I trust this will not be a long relationship you are forging.

Hi all,
I bought a phone with icloud lock, the find my phone app is off but when I restore it still requires previous owners login details??
Any ideas would be appreciated..iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
The phone is useless to you without the previous owners information. Either get a hold of the owner and get the info or return the phone and get your money back. -

My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?
The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online. You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords. -
If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device
No, you can only potentially track it if you have Find My iPhone enabled on it, you can't do it via the serial number.
If this isn't hypothetical, then if your iPad has been stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. and contact your carrier. -

Help! I thought I lost my iPhone. I activated the Find my iPhone app. I have now found my phone but can't get it to work. Can someone tell me what to do to reactivate my phone? Many, many thanks if you can!
I have lost my iphone,and did the same thing as you and activated the Find my iphone app unfortunately i haven't yet found or got it back,to reactivate your phone you will have to call apple support contact them to unblock your phone.

Is there any other way to find a lost phone besides the 'Find my IPhone' application? Please help.
No.
Any tracking program would have to be installed and activated before the iphone went missing.
Sorry. -

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

when I try to login to MobileMe or Icloud using my apple ID it won't work, and says Apple ID is correct but is not a Icloud account. Please help?!
I am not too sure but even if I didnt, wouldnt it have worked if I got a freind to log on to Find my Iphone from their apple device using my app ID and password? That didnt work either...

Stolen iPhone 4S...any way to track it? other than using the Find My Iphone app
Hi. So yesterday, my iPhone 4S got stolen while I was in PE class.
Immediately after I realized that it was gone, I called my dad and he cancelled the service for me (Verizon) so that the person who stole it would not be able to use it.
I've been checking my phone's status on the Find My iPhone app regularly, but it keeps saying that it's offline.
So I was wondering, are there any other apps, websites, ANYTHING that I can use to find out where my phone is or turn it on? (so i can track it..)
also, i didnt have iCloud on that phone.
(as in i didnt turn it on on the phone itself)
is there a way to get all my photos that i had on my old phone back?
for example, if i get a new iphone, would i still be able to transfer the photos that were on my stolen iphone onto my new phone? (without iCloud....just using the same apple id user and pass)
Thanks.
O and one more thing..I read on other sites that I shouldn't contact the police because they just file a report and put the case aside.
Do you recommend that I still report it to the police..just in case?Just so you don't hold on to that sinking feeling for not taking out every possible precaution aside from just leaving your phone at home and not using it... after having your phone stolen or .. lost:
I paid the insurance to cover loss or damage for two year... (really dumb of me since the deductible is $200. USD: more than I can buy the exact phone online and more than I could have sold mine if I had sold it online; (iphone 4 -32g). So don't kick yourself for not having insurance if you didn't.
I had all apps turned on: PhotoStream (which would have had to be active on your phone in order to retrieve photos to your pc or your mac now that it is lost). However, it is only as good as the last internet connection you were on and only if your were on that connection long enough for the photos to upload to photo stream. I was able to cover photos from Beijing and not the remaining 3/4 of my trip's photos.
Any photo app you may have been using most likely has an online access. Did you download a photo app? Start there. Do you have an itunes account? You can see what apps you have downloaded from there. If you use a mac you can see the photos in photo stream, (a sunflower icon).
Even if you had registered and jumped through all the hoops keeping app and updates up to par and a security passcode in place on the phone itself, your i phone tracking is not going to work at all unless the user is able to connect to the internet. This is not going to happen unless they can access the internet by having your passcode. So this tracking system, insurance and protection code is in most all cases a false since of security. It doesn't help you 95% of the time... i am guessing.
The except is possible I know. I found two iphones one time and saw the owners request to call them that was sent from the tracking system. I called and returned their phones. The people who have my phone have most likely dismantled it and are using the parts to recreate replications.... i lost it in China, lol. where I saw massive fake reproduction within buildings that consume 7-15 floors and about 8 city blocks. So, it isn't always about your information: in this case they wanted the hardware. Which brings up the next point.
In the iphone tracking portion of icloud.com there is an option to erase the phone. I am not sure if this makes it unusable for the new owner of default or if it just clears your crap so they can actually use the phone. I've left my stuff on the phone thinking it is most likely already in pieces. (a kinda Frankenstein-ish feeling when I think about it). If you erase you phone via the icloud it seems you are no longer able to track it. it cuts all of your ties and abilities to do anything... if you could do something. ... hmmm.
So, do not bother with phone carrier insurance on phones: better to make sure it is covered in a home renter's or owner's policy. You have to specifically ask this of your agent or it is not a part of your coverage. This will cost you less than the usual cell phone insurance, shouldn't be more than $5. per month. (i paid $10!! .... should be a class action going on somewhere around that in itself). Phone carrier insurance is a scam from A to Z these days... don't fall for it like I did. Yes, it was once a useful tool. Just make sure your home owner/renters ins deductible is not the same value as the phone.
So, do not fret that you did not have this "service" activated. Do however, check to see if you can download Photo Stream to any computer and access your last uploaded pictures from the phone. This application was most likely on your phone. Although you would have had to tie it to an account on the phone in order to tap into photo in a cloud of sorts.
Hope this helps if nothing more but to ease the pain.

Why isn't my iPhone showing up on my iCloud so I can use the Find My iPhone app?
Hey, okay so I have misplaced my iPhone and it has the Find My iPhone app on it, and is registered, but is not showing up on my iCloud so I can try to activate it. Is there anything I can do or any alternate process to locate it besides via iCloud?
i don't want to be that guy on the fourms adding to a 2-year-old topic, but you might want to try updating iTunes. The current version is 11, and that might help with getting the computer to recognize it.
Also, have you tried unlocking your phone before plugging it in? That would resolve most mount/unmount errors. -
I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
Is there anyone that can help?I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.
