HT201269 I just found someone's damaged Iphone5 (?) how can I return it to them?

I live near a major University and just found someone's lost/damaged IPhone5. Screen is cracked but it will power up, not legible though. How can I return this to the Owner, named Merideth?

If you can tell who the carrier is, turn it in to them. They should be able to get it returned to them. If you can't, you can try and take the SIM out and see who the carrier is that way.
If all else fails, turn it in to the local police.

  • I found someone's I pad, how do I return it?

    Hello,
    I found someone's Ipad in a taxi today. How do I get it back to its rightful owner?

    You're right. It's normal privacy laws. They can't give some 'random' person someone else's contact info. I"m not even sure if they'd give it to the police without some sort of supoena or court order or official document.  The most apple MAY do is send the registered owner an e-mail....maybe, eventually after they talk to their supervisor and their supervisor (unless they happen to have an existing protocol)
    If you can't get into the contacts you can run a 'i found' ad and have the owner identify its characteristics, home screen, etc. HOnestly, hand it over to the cab company and it's gone. It'll go to a pawn shop or such. Not all taxi companies are disreputable, far from it, but I also know that many 'left in cab' items never make it to the company's lost and found.

I am not expecting it to be returned. I just want the unit to become useless already so that stolen/lost  Iphone or any kind of apple brand gadget will no longer be of interest by others to buy it from any thief or any person who will resell it in just a small amount.

    Sorry, but if you did not set up Find My iPhone, then unless your iPhone is set up with a company Microsoft Exchange server or other mobile device management system, there is no way to wipe the iPhone of its data, though if you had a screen lock in it, the thieves/finder will probably restore it and wipe the data anyway. There is no way to lock the iPhone permanently to prevent someone from using your iPhone, though you can report the loss to your cell carrier and they may be able to blacklist it from connecting to their network.
    Regards.

  • I found someone's iPod. How do I find out who's it is?

    I found someone's iPod. How do I find out who's it is? i would like to get it returned to them but it only has a name when I look under about

  • Someone stoled my ipod how can i track it or i still have warranty on it could i get another?

    Someone stoled my iPod how can I track it or could I get another I still have warranty

    Of course you can get another one. Just purchase one. The warranty does not cover lost/stolen/accidental damage.
    - If you previously turned on FindMyiPod and wifi is on and connected to go to iCloud, sign in and go to FindMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will show off-line forever.
    - Apple will not help
    - Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

    This feature only works with people who have iMessage on their iPhone.  If you are sending a text to someone with a blackberry etc, you will not get the delivery messages.

    Hi Mark,
    Safari isn't intended to be an upload client for FTP'ing. For that you'll need a dedicated FTP client like CyberDuck.
    For some reason, on this computer, when I build an HTML file and save it, then open it using safari, I get the source code instead of the rendering of the source code.
    Which editor are you using to do this? I'm guessing TextEdit - if that's the case, use the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option to save the .html file. You'll then be able to save the file with whatever extension you prefer for JavaScript etc.
    want to switch back to the textedit application using COMMAND + tab the application doesn't open up. It remains minimized in the dock
    I know what you mean here and it is a bit frustrating. If you really want to stick with the keyboard you can do Ctrl+F2 then use the arrow keys to select the appropriate window from the Window menu. Normally I just keep the windows on screen and use Exposé to quickly retrieve the window.
    Hope some of that helps.

  • I have some magazines subscription on my iphone5S, how can I access the same in my ipad under the same Apple ID?

    I have some magazines subscription on my iphone5S, how can I access the same in my ipad under the same Apple ID?

    Well, if it's that annoying to you, I'd go to the nearest apple store, but before you do, you should make reservation to see the genius there. I'm sure they will help you. Just show them where the stuck pixel(s) are.
    But honestly, though I don't want to be a downer here, but even if you get it replaced, the possibility that you might get more stuck pixels when you get a new one. But of course, you can also be lucky that you can get a perfect one too. Usually stuck pixels should fix it self (not all the time tho).

    Without enabling Find My Phone you can't do a thing.

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:

    Just to close out ... the 'supervisor' was clueless as it turns out.  Apple does NOT have a deal with UPS on handling the Mini, so the person who gave me the info was wrong.  Did he call back?  No ... he just let me go out and find out myself.
    So I called again, and this time eventually ended up with a manager, who told me that the UPS Store thing wouldn't work, but that a box would arrive and then there would be a 'forced replacement'.
    About 10 minutes later he called back and said he discovered that EVERYTHING the supervisor did was wrong ... he didn't actually properly flag for auto-replace, so I would have gone through an identical cycle again!  So he had to restart the whole process, meaning I would get TWO 'coffins', but that I would then get an auto-replacement and would see that indicated in my support email.
    I got the email, saw 'auto-replace'.  Got the box on the 28th and immediately turned it around.  Apple got the box on the 31st, and on the 1st I got emails that my Mini would arrive on the 2nd and it also had the new serial #.
    Yesterday I grab the box from FedEx and go home to check it out.  As expected, it IMMEDIATELY worked on my WiFi without issue ... and has worked perfectly since.
    So ...
    - it was NOT my home network.
    - it WAS a hardware issue with the Mini
    - Apple does NOT do proper testing on the Mini to detect what appears to be a fairly common issue.
    - non-retail customers ARE treated as second-class by support.
    This issue took FOUR WEEKS to resolve, involved FOUR shipments back & forth, and the ONLY reason it got resolved was that *I* did the troubleshooting that Apple either would not or could not do.
    For someone who has been an Apple customer for more than 30 years, this has been a sobering experience ... I quite frankly expected much better from them.

  • Imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....goes inactive when signed in on othe

    imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....when signed into one it signs out the other and goes inactive I just wanted to delete one of them so this issue doesn't happen....why doesn't it give the option to delete ONLY these two accounts

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.
