Very likely not
lost/stolen
No app on the iPhone is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the device and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

My phone got stolen and I don't have "find my iphone" app, I need a way to track it down
What To Do If Your iDevice 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. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

well, then why would you care about turning on Find my iPhone" then?
You have 2 choices, since you cannot enable Find my iPhone in your phone's current state:
1) Don't enable it
2) Get the phone fixed so you can enable it.

How to block icloud when your phone got stolen??
My phone got stolen and I'm scared they get to my icloud and take everything, but if I cancel my phone on icloud I'm scared to never be able to get all my pictures back when I log a new iphone.... Because I don't have all the picture I've taken from my phone on my ipad for example.... Only the one I've taken since I bought the ipad.
I know all the pictures are on my icloud, just don't know how to get them on my ipad... And if I can't get them back on my new phone, Arrrgggggg.
Is it dangerous to not cancel my iphone yet from icloud? I still want to believe if they use it, I can find them and get it back.
Many thanks for your help.You should change your password immediately. Then you will obviously need to change it in all your devices, which will then continue to connect as normal: the stolen phone won't be able to access iCloud.

My i phone got stolen.. can you help me to make it not working ?
hello
my cell phone got stolen then i want to make it not working so that it dose not beneft the thief.
can you help me , pls?No. If you set up the "Find my iPhone" service on the phone before it went missing, log on to http://www.icloud.com. If it's still online and hasn't been wiped yet, you can lock it, wipe it, trace it's location, from there.
There is no other way to do it.
Report the theft to your carrier and the police. -

I have bought an ipad, and when i go to reset it, it needs the restrictions password which i dont know. When i plug it into itunes, it asks to turn find my iphone off, which needs the password of the old owners itunes.What should i do?
If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

The screen on my son's 5c is not working - all black. I am trying to reset the phone but cannot because 'find my iphone' is turned on. I cannot use the screen to turn it off.
I also cannot backup the phone because I cannot enter the passcode on the screen! Any ideas on how to get around the passcode AND turn off the 'find my iphone' feature?I would love to help you with this, CoachKat. Given the situation, you will need to connect your phone to iTunes via a PC. This will allow you to reset the device. Let me know if you need additional assistance.

My iPhone 4 was recently stolen, so I erased it via the Find my iPhone app. I'm planning to get a new one and will want to restore it so it has all the data and setting from my old phone, but when I log into iTunes my old device isn't showing in the device list. If it's not showing in the device list how can I restore the content to my new phone?
Thanks for your very helpful reply. It's just what I needed after the stress and upset of having my phone and indeed my entire handbag stolen. I was under the impression that this was a forum to get help, but with people like you around apparently not!
Please see below re some of your rude and in fact incorrect comments:

Why would it? Devices only appear in the list when they are connected to iTunes either physically via a cable or via Wi-Fi.
Actually, that's wrong. Maybe you should check your facts before you post rude and incorrect replies!

Read the User's Guide before asking any more silly questions. Not trying to be rude but you come across as clueless. The User's Guide covers basic functionality.
I have read the guide, it doesn't answer my question. Perhaps if you read the guide yourself you would be aware of that! -
find my iphone located it and I saw the notification a few minutes too late. Does anyone know how to get my phone back to me? I have thousands of pictures that i need for promotion and business, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to have my phone returned to me! Thanks for any help or suggestions.
