I LOST MY IPHONE 5S, still trackable and has an ORANGE LOCK SYMBOL.
Hi people, NEED URGENT HELP!
Firstly, I have to say this information : I live in Indonesia and I cannot count on Indonesian police here. However, here, in MOST CASES you can solve everything with money.
Two days ago I lost my Iphone 5s at a KTV place at 1 am, i know i was so stupid. It was on low-batt when I left it.
I think one of the waiter/waitress took it and brought it home and they would sell it to second-hand shop. Of course, I checked back and nobody would give me back my Iphone.
I put the FIND MY IPHONE on and Activation Lock ( the orange lock symbol ). I searched it on ICLOUD.COM/#FIND and it was online. I called it and whoever found it did not pick it up and I thought I should put it in lost mode and play sound. Not far from the KTV, at a huge market and I got emails. Sound was played several times on my phone and it went offline.
I almost lost hope, but the phone still have an orange lock sign and I had a passcode, finger print lock, and of course nobody knows my Apple ID.
At 9 am the next day, it was trackable again and I played two sounds (the sound from Find My Iphone) and I can see the phone is in 10 % battery. It went offline, i guess he/she was shocked because of the sound. At 5 pm I got email again, it was moved to a place also not far from there.
My parents went to the police station near the MARKET area (the market is huge, but mostly food and clothes. Very few electronic shop) and asked the head of police if they could help me find it and bought it back even ( because they'd rather throw it away than telling the truth). The police said he would help and asked several shops that sell second handphone the next day (which is today) because when my parents arrived, all the shops are already closed.
I am still tracking this Iphone because I think anybody could not sell a phone without a charger, without the passcode, and without my Apple ID. And the most relieving thing is the LOCK symbol in the Iphone. I think the lock symbol means that the person still can't jailbreak it and they can't sell it.
I know they can move it when it was offline, but i will still track them when they "SOMETIME LATER" put it online again.
What do you think? Does the LOCK symbol in my Iphone means that whoever he/she was can't use or access the phone or jailbreak it? Is there any chance that I can find this Iphone? And also, my Iphone's serial number has been registered in Apple Support. And it was still under MY NAME the last time it went offline.
I want to remove all my data, but also still want to find this Iphone 5s ( because it is still locked and under my name ) using the head police help ( which has been promised reward for finding it, because that's just how Indonesia works -_- ) until tonight, if it ever does appear online again. I just got it two weeks ago and that night I was clumsy (world cup + KTV + beers) and I desperately want to get it back if i could.
Everyone who has this problem should know that Icloud.com is very useful because :
1. I literally can access all my contacts, reminders, and so on from the ICLOUD.com
2. They notify you when your phone is found to your email (Apple ID) with the address.
3. I can put a customized message to whoever found it and put a number to call for whoever found it (Lost Mode)
The only thing that bothers me :
The address sent to my email was not precise, only show the area, not the literal place.
The map satellite needs to be updated (from 2013 still) and can't be zoomed in to much.
-But, it still helps me to find it and narrow the area of search.
I only HOPE that this person has a heart to give it back. Thank you gail from maine

i lost my iphone 4S last night and the phone is switchwed off . what shud i do to recover it ??? its status shown offline at find my iphone and it unable to activate lost mode as it is switched off . what shud i do to locate or recover it ? plz help me
If your missing device is off or offline, you cannot located it, however, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect.
As for the data on the iPhone, if you have backed up the iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you can use the iPhone backup extractor to extract the data from the backup files to your computer, or restore the found data to a new iPhone with the help of iPhone PC Suite. -
I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).
If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Sounds like your sharing the same apple id. settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

i lost my iphone 4 last night and its not reachable assuming someone took out the sim.. so can i or my network company track the iphone which is not reachable through assuming location services and find my phone apps are enabled?
No. Find My Phone is the only way to locate any lost iPhone. However, this requires that Find My Phone be turned on/activated before the phone was lost, and the phone must have an Internet connection. If your phone is turned off, does not have an Internet connection, or has been restored, there is no way to locate it.

I lost my iphone in Guatemala City and just downloaded the Find My iPhone app to my MacBook Pro. How do I launch the app & locate my phone?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can) -

Hi, My friend purchased iphone 4S from US and now its a locked version. Is it possible to unlock the phone, if yes iam ready to pay the price. Thanks
It is not possible to unlock a US iPhone. NO carriers in the US allow unlocking. Sell the phone and purchase one in your country.

For some reason my passwrod on my iPhone is not working and now I am locked out. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
