I have insurance through apple for my iPhone 4. Last night my phone was stolen. Am I covered under insurance to get a new phone? And how much will it cost? Second- what should I do about it? I don't know if I should shut down the phone or what in case my iPhone is able to be located or what not?

No, you simply do not. Apple does not sell insurance.
Apple offers an Extended Warranty called AppleCare.
Warranties doe not cover lost or stolen devices. Buy a new one. -
my phone is stolen i need to get the serial number but i only have yje IMEI what should i do how can i get my serial number
Why do you need the serial number? The phone can't be tracked by either serial number or IMEI.

i bought iphone5 from ol and i didn't know the phone is stolen/lost and i paid 400$.. plz help what should i do?
Hand it over to the police if you cannot get a refund.
You will never be able to use it, it's Activation Lock you're facing and cannot be bypassed without the original Apple ID & password. -
I bought I phone 5c from A market in HAITI and i reset the phone ,after i could not activate the phone because it has an apple id,the seller dos not know the id,HAITI has no apple store,the i phone not stolen or in lost mode,SO WHAT I DO?
There is nothing you can do. That is the Activation Lock that Apple has implemented tout down on theft of their iPhones.
Most likely the iPhone is stolen.
It is totally worthless to you. -
Hello, last night my phone was stolen from the staff of the restaurant i was eating at and wanted to know what is the best way of going about getting my phone back or do i have other options for a new Iphone, thank you very much.
Click here for information; you can also contact the restaurant.
Apple won't give you a discount on a new one, but your insurer or wireless carrier might.

My i phone was stolen and I was wondering what the exact thing to do is! Also how can i send an email to apple to tell them to lock my phone permanantely?? Helpp!!
Check this out https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3362, thanks to Kappy. Contact your carrier, they would be the only one that could possibly blacklist your phone, if they provide that service.

My phone was stolen, what can I do to recover? He is off then the app "Find My iPhone" is not working. I'm desperate, because not even finished paying and is ma warranty.
For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet. If not, it is not possible to locate it. Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

My I phone got stolen in Cuba and I did not register the phone with the apple.what should I do?
My I phone got stolen in Cuba last week,and I did not register it with the apple. Is there
any thing I can do?no. not unless "find my iPhone" was installed before it was stolen. If you were visiting Cuba abd are now back home in another country you have no hopes of recovering it.

Did you know that if your phone is stolen, Find my Phone is useless?
Lessons from my lost iPhone. Despite having a pin to unlock the iPhone, you can simply power off the phone with a long press of the power button. Which means that if your phone is stolen and the thief is smart enough to turn it off (is there one who isn't?), 'Find my phone' is virtually useless!
Also, you can use Siri on a locked phone to make phone calls and send messages. There are also enough tips available on the internet that show you how to use Siri to unlock the phone, making all your photos, emails and other information available to anyone keen enough to find it.
I've written to Apple to tell them that a phone lock should really do what it says - LOCK the phone! If you own an iPhone and would like the same please write to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Perhaps when enough people write they'll actually take some notice!This subject is discussed fairly frequently. Find my iPhone is not useful unless a particularly ignorant thief takes it. It's primary use is to find lost phones, not stolen. Requiring a passcode to turn it off eliminates one way a thief can disable Find my iPhone, but it isn't the only one, and probably isn't the one used by most professional thieves. Among other ways to disable Find my iPhone:
Remove the SIM
Wrap in aluminum foil
Drop in a shoplifter's bag or backpack with its Faraday shield (copper mesh or foil lining)
Restore the phone from DFU mode
The Activation Lock feature, which prevents a stolen phone from ever being used again, except by the rightful owner, is the more valuable deterrent against theft. Once word gets around that a stolen iPhone is useless the market value of stolen phones will drop precipitously, and thieves will switch to stealing Android phones. -
hello,

is it necessary to put in sim card in iphone at the time of restore ? My phone is stolen and i am concerned that if somebody will restore it then i will not be able to find it even using find my phone.
There is no way that you can locate the iphone at all.
The thief can restore it and use it as their own. You will never know or be able to tell what they do with it.
Very sorry. Your iphone is gone.
Report it to the police and change your passwords. -
I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove this from the bottom menu?
And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.
