trying to locate stolen phone

You can view this helpful document for more info: iCloud: Locate your device
Essentially you log into iCloud.com with your Apple ID and see if the device is still online or powered on. You can then remotely erase, lock, or send a message to appear on the screen of the device. If it has not been online in some hours it's last known location will appear until it has been offline for a significant number of hours. If it is offline, there is nothing you can do to change the situation.

TS4006 how can i locate a STOLEN ipod immediantly ?

How can i LOCATE a STOLEN ipod ?

It can only be located if you enabled Find My iPod on it before it was stolen. It also would have to have be turned on with connection to the internet and still have your iCloud settings intact in order for it to be tracked. (Unfortunately, criminals often restore them as new devices so they cannot be tracked.)
If you enabled this before it was stolen, you can try going to icloud.com on your computer to track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

No. Apple does not locate stolen iPhones. Report the theft to your wireless
provider and local law enforcement. Change your passwords.
Did you not have Find My iPhone activated? If yes, go to iCloud.com and
log into your account. If your iPhone is powered on and has internet connectivity,
you will be able to see its location; otherwise, you have to search for it
physically.

How do I locate a stolen iPod

How do I locate a stolen iPod touch. The GPS location is on, but I don't think I ever downloaded "Find my iPod" app. Is there hope for the apple support to track it?

No app is required.
- 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

Can GPS locate a stolen phone or i-pad

Can GPS locate a stolen I-phone or stolen I-pad or must I wait until they are turned on and why is it showing up in I-cloud that I have no devices?

Because as soon as the device is turned on it shows up on iCloud.
When your device is registered and Find my iPhone is activated, The device will show up in iCloud. If it’s off, it’ll show up as being offline BUT it has a checkbox to inform you when it comes online. If you check this box, when the device is turned on you’ll be sent an email that the device has been found and will show up on the map.
And they have to turn it on to try to get past the pass code first and then the password to turn Find my iPhone off. Both are difficult and the device will be broadcasting its location the entire time.

My iPhone 3GS was stolen today while I was grocery shopping. How can I locate where my phone is?

My iPhone 3GS was stolen today. Can anyone help me figure out how to locate where my iPhone has been taken to? Some Low Life stole it while I was grocery shopping. I need that phone. I don't have a Contract phone, just a Gov't Free phone number/minutes. Please help me someone.

Thank You roaminggnome, I don't think I turned Find My Phone app on on my phone, but I did turn it on on my laptop. I deleted my contacts list and Hope that Iit somehow deleted my contacts list on my phone. Also, I turned on Find My Phone on my laptop and it says my phone is turned off. So I think that whoever stole my phone took out my Sim Card and replaced it with theirs or that they sold my phone for Crack. I hope my phone hasn't been restored. Ty for your response Roaming.

How to locate a stolen phone which is active in different country. I have the serial number and IMEI number. It was brand new iphone 4S unlocked and never used.

I was relocating from USA to India using Air India airways. On reaching Delhi, I did not receive my luggage. After 5 days of my arrival, I received my luggage with broken lock and my 2 iphone 4S and one Macbook pro air was missing. All these products were brand new and unopened from box. I filed complained about my missing electronics items but came up with empty handed. All these electronic products are registered in Apple in my name. After 2 months, I came to know by calling Apple representative that one of the iphone4S is active and is using Turkey carrier. I have the IMEI number and the serial number of this active iphone but due to Jurisdiction area limitation, I cannot do anything. Please let me know what I can do at best to alteast find out the complete gang involved in this shameful international electronic stolen item trafficking business. I still wonder how my iphone 4S reached Turkey although my itinerary was from Baltimore to NewYork to Paris to Delhi.

The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.
