I lost my iphone and need to recover my photos
I lost my iphone 5c and don't know how to recover my photos from Photo Stream. When I had it I did the backup on the phone every month and now that I'm installing Icloud on my laptop it only shows like 10 pictures but I had many many more!
Also my contacts are not complete, it only shows a few of them!
When I lost it, I selected the option to 'erase my phone' but I have checked everyday and the phone is still offline. Is this affecting?
What do I need to do? I really want to recover my photos
Thank you!
Your backup only includes camera roll photos (and videos), it does not include photo stream photos. Also, photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing sufficient time for your devices/computers to download them. When you set up iCloud on your computer, you can only access photos that were uploaded in the last 30 days, which is why you only see your newest photo stream photos and not the older ones.
You can recover your camera roll photos by restoring the backup to another iPhone (or iPod touch). Be aware, however, that if the backup is an iCloud backup, Apple will delete it after 180 days of inactivity so you'll need to restore it before it's deleted.
Your phone being offline in Find My iPhone doesn't have anything to do with this. It only means that it isn't turned on and connected to the internet. Put it in lost mode if you haven't already done so (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165). You might also want to read this: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen.
Finally, if you don't see all of your contacts on iCloud.com it may be because some of them were being synced from another service such as Google or Yahoo rather than iCloud. If that's the case, you can find them by checking your account there.

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud
I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?
The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device. This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on. Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore. Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another. Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup. -
I lost my iphone and need to track it
i lost my iphone and i want to know if i can like track to wear it is
To be able to track the iPhone you need to have enabled Find My iPhone before you lost it. The phone needs to be powered on and connected to the Internet. With a computer or another device go to www.iCloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. You should be able to see the device on the map.
If the battery is dead, or the phone has been turned off, or someone found it and restored it, then you will not be able to locate it. -

I lost my iPhone and its locked is there anyway that they can hook it up to there computer and get access? Also, Apple can help by using my Apple ID number, right?
If there's a passcode on it(good for you!), then whoever stole it can only access your information if they can guess your passcode. However, they would likely get it disabled before guessing correctly, and be forced to Restore it. At that point, your information would be wiped off the device.
And Apple can do nothing to help you, unfortunately. If you did, however, set up "Find My iPhone" before you lost it, then you can track the device. If not, then sorry - you're probably not getting your iPhone back. -
I recently thought I lost my iPhone and I erased it but now that I found it. I cannot get the this iPhone message is lost please call ********* I am out of the country my laptop is at home. I cannot access I tune. How do I fix this. I need to get it back on so I can face time with my family. The phone says 3G but it keeps saying on list mode. I signed on icloud and removed it from the account and nothing. Please help!
If you removed the device from your iCloud account rather than using the "Stop Lost Mode" option, then you will most certainly need to restore the iPhone, and that will require a computer running iTunes.

I lost my iPad and need to change my apple ID.
Hi Everyone
Please help before I hit my new mac with a sledge hammer!!
I recently lost my ipad and need to change my apple ID. When I go to the ID page it gives me the option of changing any of my details except my ID which does not have an edit button next to it. How can I change the ID itself and would I lose access to my existing apps if I did change it? I have spent hours signing out of every feature on both my mac and iphone but how can i do this from my now lost ipad and would it make any difference if i could? I am very confused and frustrated with all the apple jargon on the help pages and support communities. Please can somebody help by talking english to me??Why do you want to change the ID? If it's because you've lost your iPad just change the password so that the person now in posession of it can't get into your iCloud account.
If you really want to change the address which forms the ID you can do this at http://appleid.apple.com provided that it isn't an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address - if it's one of those that would explain why you don't have an 'edit' button and you can't change it.
It you were able to change the ID that won't affect your access to apps since the account itself remains the same, though of course the login has to be changed on every device signed into iCloud or iTunes.
If you are going to change either the ID or the password you must turn of 'Find My iPhone' on any device it is enabled on or you will find yourself in difficulties. -

iCloud password works on everything but erasing all data. I got a new iPhone and need to wipe this one but am not sure how else to do this since the password is not working. Any suggestions?
Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]. -
Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work
Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work
A friendly reminder: In order to use Find My IPhone Successfully, you need to 1. Turn on Location Services, 2. Lock Location Services (Using Restrictions in Settings, General, Restrictions) so that if some one else finds your IPhone, they can NOT turn off Find My IPhone And/Or Location Services itself! 3. Add your Mobile Me and/Or ICloud Account to your IPhone. 4. Lock Accounts (Again in Restrictions) from being changed or Deleted so that your Mobile Me And/OR ICloud Account can NOT be Deleted! 5. Look Up the Location of your IPhone Before Suspending Service to the IPhone, NOT after Suspending Service (simple common since applies here as well).

I lost my iPhone and I believe someone has found it but hasn't returned it I never turned on the find my iPhone is there anything else I can do to find it? The reason I believe some has it Is because of my pictures on my iPad they took pictures and must have uploaded them cause I now have pictures of kids. What can I do.. I do not know these kids
Without Find My iPhone turned on, there is not a lot you can do. Sounds like you didn't have a Lock Screen lock on either. Thre is nothing to prevent the thief from using it. They will not be able to resotre it, and if they try, it will then lock them out with an Activation Lock that will completely disable the device.
You need to report it to the police, change your Apple/iCloud/iTunes password, and contact your carrier to suspend servce to the device.
Sorry about your troubles,
