I got my iphone 4 stolen.. HELP.
I recently got my iphone stolen, i had left it in a stall in a movie theater and came back about 20 minutes later to find it gone, we got it tracked on my friends phone and had the police search for it in where it said it was, he couldn't find it because it said it was located in the woods behind houses in a neighborhood.. basically, we couldn't find it and it still says it is there..
if we don't find it by the weekend i'm probably going to need a new phone.. with 2 iphone's we couldn't get both insurance. what happens if i don't have insurance and i need to by a new iphone?
If you're in the US, you can find pricing here:

Select the model you want and then the "get iPhone unlocked and contract free" link. In other countries, similarly consult the Apple Store, if there are Apple Stores in your country, or an authorized iPhone reseller.
Regards.

What To Do If Your iDevice 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 it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:

Hello, i have a question on my iphone 4s. I went to a party a few days ago and it had gotten stolen. The next day my friend said that he had found it and it was jaibroken? The phone was on 1 % when i had recieved it. It then died and i plugged it in to the charger. When i plugged it in the apple logo appeared as if it was starting but, it wasnt. The apple logo appeared for about ten seconds and then the screen went black. After that, the connect to itunes screen popped up and will not go away. So now when i take it off of the charger the screen just stays black and wont turn on? I tried connecting it to itunes and restoring it. But it wont even show my phone any more on the side of itunes. I tried restoring it and an error had occured (2001). I have looked up on youtube how to fix this problem and non of them have helped or worked. Its my only phone and i cant even text my girlfriend which bothers me terribly!! Please help me ASAP!!

HT1212 i got my iphone stolen, and i got it back there was a password and i cant restore it
the title says it all
Apple is not law enforcement and does not block or deactivate devices.
Even if they did, it would require contacting Apple instead of posting to these user to user technical support forums. -
do all apps work properly even if its an older model?
Not neccessarily.
Any app that requires ios 4.3 or later will not work. -

No. Unless find my mac was installed before the transaction you have no way to track it. -
I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!
Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?
On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control

I got an iphone 5 today and tried to sync to the cloud with the apps from my iphone 4. Syncing happended but I cannot open an app on my new iphone 5 for more than second then it closes. I have restarted the phone, added a new app that required my itunes password and manually added each app. None helped. Can you help me?

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...
There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend? -
C Apple, i need to know few things,first of all i shall tell my scenario. I got an iphone 3gs from my uncle in US..after long waiting. I m from south india, living at God's country called Kerala k. well , in that iphone it showing activation screen and trying to activate. not more than that..plz help!
means.. in simple words, it is trying to activate and all( searching wifi,, taking few minutes..again searching...if it couldnt find any wifi - telling .. try connect using itunes an all)...well any way. finally I try connect to a wifi network, with full speed...3mbps..from Ravi's internet cafe in downtown.
All after Im getting the below message from that white candy box!( thats all I can use now, because, in my dreams iPhone is something great, that mankind ever seen....but this really disappointed me......im simpling blinking!!(same with itunes too)
""Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If this problem persists, contact apple support at apple.com/support""
EVERYDAY .EVERTIME.. I C this message and sleep....no use.....and i use to charge that 'white candy box' to c this message!
I try searching internet and all for solutn...but no one knw about it..but there are...some one me abt method called jailbreaking ..rednw..white snw ..ultrasnw and all...I dnt knw why it is so complicated to troublesht...apple is suppose to be simple and friendly.
C why u manufacturing these stuffz like this, if does'nt serve the any of its purpose ....or useable to any of its features atleast....C i wont be that disapppointed, if u put an option to playbck music or video during activation and all...
If you are responsible for manfacturing such unuseable thing, then its ur responsible to destroy it too.....
anyway now everyone knws that ..I have an apple iphone with me, but that doest make me proud at all...
Finally I have only few questions to ask...
1 will it work with my vodafone sim in kerala?
2 is any way , i can hear any music out frm it?
3 will i become a proud iPhone user?
I am already fedup with asking questions..begging for an solution.....
I hope so you can help to figure it out, without any complications....thank u!It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.
In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple. -
Got an iPhone 3G, but can't use most of the features in South Africa-HELP!
Hi there.
I got my iPhone about 4-5 months ago in South Africa. I love the hardware, I love the way it looks, what you can do with it, etc. But there's one thing I find really really annoying, and that is the fact that I can't use the phone features that users in other countries have access to.
No, I haven't run into any technical problems.
The problem is that we have hardly anything available in our iTunes store. I invite you to switch your iTunes browser to the South Africa store and check it out... Yup, that's right, we have no music, movies, TV shows, podcasts or audiobooks. So what do we have? Some apps... yep some, but from the looks of it a greatly reduced list. Many apps I've found links to on the net, which people recommended, are simply not in our store. Even free apps, for example Google Earth.
But the most glaring omission is the Games category... yep, not a single game available to South African users.
So, to get an iPhone here requires a 2 year contract and another $300 on top of that for the 8GB version, so it surely isn't cheap... and yet I can't even make a custom ringtone because only music downloaded from the iTunes store can be used... I could do that on my very first Nokia phone which was a dinosaur w.r.t. technology compared to the iPhone.
I honestly don't understand it...
So, what help do I need?
I need to find out who I can contact at Apple to reason with regarding the content of our iTunes store. I find it unacceptable that people who hack their phones have a FAR better experience than people who do the right thing. So, if you work at Apple and read this or you know someone at Apple that could perhaps help me find the correct person/people to talk to about this, then please please send me a mail with the appropriate details. My email address is [email protected] (yes, I'll even post my email address on a public forum )
I don't think I am being unreasonable to expect a good level of service for a high end product, and at this point I am really unhappy with the service. Not the customer support etc, in fact the people I've had contact with are helpful, except that they cannot provide me with the information I need.
If you can help, then thank you very much.
Take care.
- EmileHi there.
Thank you neuroanatomist for the info on creating a ringtone. I'll try it.
I should perhaps have mentioned that I have tried all the official channels, including contacting support and sending feedback over the last couple of months. The support people sympathise but can't really help me and I haven't received anything w.r.t. the feedback I have sent, more than once.
I'm now turning to the other users in the hope that someone can get me into contact with a person/people inside Apple that might be able to shed more light on this.
I've already contacted our local distributors and my mobile phone provider and they have told me that it is Apple and only Apple who decide what is available in the store.
W.r.t. licensing etc, I suspect that there may be some legalities involved here, however it's not like we are on a different planet - we get the same DVDs and movies and TV programs here as everywhere else - just not on the iTunes store... So once again everything points back to Apple and not to local laws. As far as I know our laws w.r.t. media are pretty standard and mostly based on UK law, but I am no legal expert.
I would even be happy to get a "we know it's not great, we're working on it", or a "it may take some time, but hang in there" ... but I haven't even been able to get that... which is extremely frustrating.
Take care,
Emile.
