HT4061 My iPhone was stolen and powered off. Is there any way to track it?
My iPhone 5c was stolen last night. It was powered off. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to track its location.
Only if it's powered on at some point, Find My iPhone will be able to make note of it's last position.
There's no way to track an electronic device that is powered off, it's just like trying to track a book.

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
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:

My iphone was stolen and wiped clean is there a way to be notified using the serial number?
My iphone was stolen last week and was only turned on twice for a brief moment so find my iphone has not helped and the police refused to file a report. I believe it's been reset now. I have my serial number and was wondering if apple will register it was stolen and block others from registering it?
no
Sorry.
The police will not allow you to file a report for a theft? That does not sound right. -
My ipod touch was stolen and im trying to find a way to track it down
my ipod touch was stolen and in trying to find a way to track it down.
IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod and it is on and it is connected to wi-fi and the thief has not restored it, then you may be able to get an approximate location using icloud.
Otherwise it cannot be tracked. -

The serial number is embedded in the iTunes on the computer to which you originally sync'd the iPhone.

My iphone was stolen and the person turned it off so I can't track it, what should I do?, My iphone was stolen and the person turned it off so I can't track it, what should I do?
If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
Contact your carrier. They may be able to block further use of the phone. No good to you but then no good to the thief either. -
So my iphone was stolen after I left it in a mall. I had find my iphone app off is there any way to turn it on from another device so I can see the location of my phone?
There is no way to remotely enable that feature. It has to already be turne don in Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone in order for you to locate it.

My iPhone was stolen and I have the IMEI and serial number. Will I still be able to find it?
My iPhone was stolen and I have the IMEI and serial number. Will I still be able to find it?
Thanks. Yes. But somehow it's already turned off by the thief. I am just hoping he goes to an area with free wifi to transmit the lost phone mode. I'm giving it a few weeks and i hope that the new iOS 7 function will work. That they won't be able to reset my phone without my apple id & password. I just wish I downloaded the app iHound before.
Oh and I called up our national telecommunications commission and they'll be able to disable my phone's function through my IMEI. -
If my iphone was stolen and it is not turned on and I don't know for sure if I had findmyphone turned on in the settings can I still track it? P.S. it's a Verizon iphone 4
Unfortunately if the device is off or not connected or if FindMyiPhone isn't active you can't.

My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it using the find my iphone app! Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them? i just want to know if this <bleep> was looking through my private info. TIA
Sorry marcia,
There is no way to tell what activity went on on your device when it was out of your hands.
Sorry,
