i just found a iphone 5 how do i locate the owner

I've heard that if you turn on siri by long pressing the home button then you can ask siri 'who owns this iPhone' & their details should show onscreen.

Found an Ipod touch--how can I locate the owner?

I found an Ipod touch--how can I locate the owner? The Ipod requires a passcode.

You can't. Turn the iPod into your local police department, or the station closest to where you found the iPod. They have resources for identifying and contating the owner, should they wish to take that time.
Regards.

How can I locate the owner of a lost Ipod Touch 4g?

A friend found a lost Ipod Touch 4th generation and gave it to me because he's given up trying to locate the owner. Now I am trying to find its owner (last ditch effort).
I've never seen this message before, but when I got it, there is a screen saying disabled, connect to iPod. I assume that either it was remotely locked? Or perhaps my friend tried to guess passwords unsuccessfully too many times?
I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco and the sales rep that was helping me didn't know how to do it.
I ran three ads in craigslist in different sections - no response.
My bf used to work for Apple, and is absolutely uninterested or too busy to help me out (nice guy, eh?).
I don't want to restore the phone and wipe the data, since it may destroy any possible clue as to how to locate the owner beyond the first name and photo that appears when you turn it on. (I tried to see if I could get it connected to iTunes and figure something out, but the phone is disabled)
Anybody know what I can do? Serial numbers?
note: In case you are wondering why I am so adamant on finding the owner, I have lost 2 ipods in the past (found one), but the other is gone forever (despite all my "please return to (my contact info)" message I had in place of the passcode screen. I will go pretty far to return this to the owner, because beyond principle, I was sad when mine was never returned to me.

I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco
Take it to the nearest SFPD station.
And bravo to you for making such an effort to find the owner. They may have reported it lost or stolen to the SFPD.

How would I locate the owner of an i-pod that I found...

while on vacation in Texas?? I have the serial # off the back, and it is identified as "Carter's IP", but I can not find any other identifying info. I contacted Apple, but they could not pull up the owner from the serial #, and suggested that I turn it in to the local police. Now that I am back in NC, I don't think that will help. Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to identify
"Carter" ?? It is a 4 gig and has about 870 songs on it....

- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- Turn the iPod into the local police.

I have a stole Iphone and need to locate the owner, can anyone help me find a serial number. the phone is locked

No-one except the owner can unlock the phone.
But if you take it, and a warrant to Apple they can.

I just found an iPhone 4 or 4s

I just found an iPhone 4 or 4s, it's protected by pw and not (apparently) able to find a carrier. How can I found the owner?

You cannot. Turn it in to either a lost and found (depending on where you found it) or law enforcement.

HT1267 How do I find the owner of an iphone I have found But there is no contacts or Cell number of the phone that is the phones cell number and the phone has been suspended and you can't get any information on returning it .

How can I find the owner of a found phone that must have been reported stolen but all you want to do is find out who the person is that owns the phone. But you have no idea who the person is who stole the phone in the first place but now you only want to give it back to its rightful owner.

I found a iPhone 5s, and I'm willing to return to the owner ASAP, but it seems that "he" have not turned on "Find my iPhone".
Could anyone help me get in touch with the owner, that was probably here for the 2014's World Cup?
I'm a Brazilian Apple user, and got stolen 6 months ago. I'm fully aware of what it is. Please, don't flood me with the obvious. The law here DOES NOT WORK.
This owner must get it back, even if I must send it overseas.
Thank you for the support.

I just updated my iPhone 4s to iOS8 and the weather is missing from my notification center. Where has it gone and how do I get it back?

Scroll down on the Notification page and there is a button at the bottom
labelled 'Edit'. Tap that button and you can add the weather back as well
as choose other things to display.

HT201441 I FOUND AND IPHONE AND I CANNOT OPEN IT SO I CAN CALL THE OWNER, HOW DO I CONTACT THE OWNER SO I COULD RETURN IT

I FOUND AN IPHONE AND HOW CAN I CONACT THE OWNER SO THAT I COULD RETURN THE PHONE TO HIM OR HER

You cannot open the phone, because it is locked and that's why you won't find out his number or email address.

I just lost my iphone how can i lock it

Hi i just lost my mobile. how can i change the password or permentlay lock out

If you already set a passcode on your iPhone, and no one else knows what it is, you have no need to change a thing. No one can use it without your passcode.
If you wish, go to iCloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and password, click the "Find my iPhone" icon, and you can remotely lock it from there.

Just bought my iphone 5s and it has the android software how can I remove it?

Find iphone, how to unlock obnce the phone has been found ?

Hi,
I reported an iphone as lost via find iphone app. I now found it but the phone is locked, how do I unlock it ?
Thanks !!

Hi MaiTai2,
If you are asking, now that you've found your iPhone and unlocked it with the passcode, how you would go about turning off the passcode requirement, you may find the following article helpful:

If you deleted a device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone?

if you deleted a device off of find my iphone.how do you get the device to start back up agian and put it back on find my iphone? becuase i have delted my dads iphone acedentily of find my iphone and it is nownot working. his phone is just staying at a black screen with a loading circle on it. i need to know how to fix this..like do i go the to apple store or the carrier store or can i fix it at home?

Try these two ways to fix the iPhone (in order). If neither works, you would have to take it to the store.
1. Reset the iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons togehter for about 10 seconds. If it works, you'll get the Apple logo and then something good should happen.
2. Try recovery mode as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If one of these work, you can then re-introduce the iPhone to Find My iPhone by doing Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone = "On" on the device.

I can't change any information for any songs in my library, everything is just greyed out. How can I get the ability to edit my song information?

I can't change any information for any songs in my library, everything is just greyed out. How can I get the ability to edit my song information?

I found one other way to do it. I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
Thanks for your help, Matt!

Hello,how can i contact the owner for the stolen iphone using email?because i call the owner no phone,no one accept the call..

Unless you have the owners email address you can't email them.
If you have found a stolen iPhone and are trying to return it to its rightful owner, hand it in to the police.
