I lost my iphone 4s. Can it be blocked through the serial number?

I lost my iphone 4s. Can it be blocked through the serial number?
My question is this: I know someone else has it. It was tracked through Find my Iphone. How to prevent it from being used ever again? Is there a service that would permanently blocked and unable to be used? Or anyone could just pop a new chip and ready to go? Since the device is registered under my Apple ID, no one else should have access to use my lost device, but me!

Sorry to hear about your iPhone 4s, You should contact you service provider and report the iPhone 4s as lost.  You should try to erase your data on the iPhone and change your iTunes account as soon as possible.

    Sorry, no. The following have some other advice from Apple that may be of use:

  • Hi there , i just lost my i phone , can i find it by the serial number ?

    i would like you help me if i can find my lost i phone

    All you can do is file a police report (if it was stolen) and/or notify your carrier.  Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items.

  • HT4061 i lost my iphone how can i find it through find my iphone

    i lost my iphone how can i find it through find my iphone

    Well, Firstly, It Is Only Possible to find it using 'Find my iPhone' If location services are turned on on the device.
    you can track it using a computer or any iDevice.
    if you have a computer, login to www.icloud.com using yor iCloid credentials and click on Find My iPhone. You can track the device, provided location services are turned on and it is connected to the internet.
    if you have any iDevice, login to the 'Find My iPhone' App[Download it from app store for free if it isnt there already] and do the same.
    All the best

    OK.
    Not sure what you are asking.
    Change your passwords and alert your carrier.

  • I have lost my iphone 5 is it possible to find the imei number of that phone.

    i have lost my iphone 5 is it possible to find the imei number of that phone.

    I just want to repeat what was said up thre thread: make sure you report this phone as lost or stolen to your carrier; this will prevent anyone from wiping it out and registering it as their own phone with service.
    With ios 7 and beyond ,it's not possible to wipe it out and have it set up as a new phone number unless you know the iCLoud ID and password. THat's great, but for iOS 6 you should report it stolen or lost so that it's worthless if someone stole it or found it.
    Your IMEI number is on the box or with the carrier you bought it from. IT won't help you find your phone but you can list it as   lost or stolen.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • My ipod was stolen from a friends house i called cops they cant do nothing so how can i find it with the serial number

    how do i find it

    No, The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is replaced.
    - 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

  • My ipod was stolen, can I find out what the serial number of it is, based on looking at a connection history in my itunes? How would I do this? I didn't register it.

    My ipod was stolen, can I find out what the serial number of it is, based on looking at a connection history in my itunes? How would I do this? I didn't register it. I think I found the guy selling it, just looking to confirm the serial number and I'll make a phone call to the police.
    Thanks

    Yes.
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPod and select Preferences… from the iTunes menu.
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPod's serial number will appear in a popup window.

  • I have a new MacBook Air with Yosemite (no CD/DVD capacity). I want to install Photoshop Elements 6. Can I do this with the serial number? If pse 6 is not compatible, can I upgrade to pse 7. I do not need pse 12 or 13.

    I cannot answer regarding compatibility, but there is no download available for PSE6 if you would need one for this.  You might be able to copy the installation files from a disk to some other removable media that the machine accepts.  Upgrading to PSE7 would not be possible mainly because Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.

    Hi, the number on my iTunes card is unreadable, can I activate it with the serial number?

    You will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes
