I-phone 4S was stolen, what to do

Hi there, my i-phone 4S was stolen from my flat in Burkina Faso; it is a Germany-bought version, so i-cloud was disabled. How can I find it here in Ouagadougou?

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

My i phone 3gs was stolen,what can i do?

How to track my stolen i phone 3gs?

Thx.

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)
If the device is unable to connect to a cellular or wifi network for whatever reason then all you can do is physically look for it.
You should also change the passwords on any Apple ID's you have in use on the device. If the phone is suspected to have been stolen, report it to the Police (if you have insurance ask for a crime reference number). You should also contact your provider to have your number locked.

You should have been storing everything on your computer and regularly backing up your computer.
If you failed to do that, then you may be able to get your pics from photo stream

For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet. If not, it is not possible to locate it. Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

My Iphone was stolen - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Can you help me ?

Hi! My iPhone was stolen - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Who can you help me? Maybe you have an idea? Please - help me. Iphone was stolen in my office (it my client, but I do not know who).

The only way to track your phone is if you had find my iphone installed and activated, then you go to icloud.com log in and track your phone.
If you didn't set it up then there no way to track it.
Not sure what facetime has to do with your stolen phone.

You would know for a fact if the device is in use, but if you go back to the find my iPhone app in iCloud.com, you can either select to erase it, or place it in lost mode, in which case, once the device makes a connection to the internet, it will automatically go into that mode.

Can i find the IMEI of my I Phone (it was stolen!)in the shop where I bought it???

Can i find the IMEI of my I Phone (it was stolen!)in the shop where I bought it??? I have no bill, can I receive it again on my copy pass (the shop has registered it)

You should be able to view the IMEI in iTunes if you synced the phone with iTunes. Go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and then hover the mouse over one of the backups and it will be listed there. Also, your carrier has your IMEI number, as they are the only ones that need to do anything with it. Reporting your phone as stolen just requires your serial number.

If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Then contact the police, giving them any location information you get.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

Hello My phone has been stolen What is the solution

Hello
My phone has been stolen
What is the solution

You report it to local law enforcement, and to your wireless carrier.
If you had the Find My iPhone function enabled on the device, then you can track it using the Find My iPhone App on another iOS device, or by using www.icloud.com on a computer.

I mac was stolen what to do

Report it to the local police.
If you have Find My Mac enabled you could then track it. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do.
What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer 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:

My i phone 4s was stolen today. I need to know how to retrieve my photos from i cloud from i cloud, not my device because I don't have it!

My phone was stolen. All of my pictures that are important to me are on it on i cloud or at least should be. I do not have my phone because some jerk stole it, therefore need to know how to retrieve my photos that were streamed. Someone please help me. When I go onto i cloud there is no tab or application for me to click on related to photos. All I have the option of going to is: calendar, contacts, reminders and that's about it. Where are my pictures?!

Hi Elizabeth,
You photos are only stored in the iCloud PhotoStream, or as an iCloud backup, which you can back up to a new device that has been signed on to the same iCloud account. There is no direct way to see photos that are in iCloud.
You would have needed to have backed them up to either iPhoto on your Mac, or to the Photos file on a PC.

How do I get my info from the phone that was stolen

My phone was stolen. How can I recover the info from the cloud on another device ?

If you had the icloud backup feature turned on and had a backup made (from the lost device), then just get a new device and restore the backup. Without a backup in icloud or iTunes, your data is lost.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
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.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

My i phone 4S was stolen today. How do I recover my photos from i cloud?

I need help retrieving my photos from my phone. My phone was stolen today. Can someone help me?

Restoring your iCloud backup to another iPhone would recover photos that were in the camera roll when it was last backed up. If you are able to set up iCloud on your computer, enabling photo stream would recover photo stream photos from the last 30 days. This article explains how to set up iCloud on your computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.
