I recently got my iPhone 5c stolen. How can I track it?

The only way to find a lost iOS device is to use the Find my iPhone app or www.icloud.com. For this to work, you have to enable this feature on the lost device prior to loss. If you didn't do this, there is no way to find it. Neither Apple nor your carrier will find it for you.
Setup Find my iPhone:

HT1267 my iphone is stolen how do i track it

hi my iphone is stolen how do i track it i have the imei

The IMEI is no help. If you enabled "Find my iPhone" in settings before it was stolen you may be able to track it using iCloud, assuming the thief did not turn off the phone, remove the SIM, or restore the phone as new.
If you did not enable Find my iPhone you are out of luck.

Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?

Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?
please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?

You're welcome. If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup. This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings. You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup. If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream. (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days. Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.)

My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without having to wait fo rthe serial number to come up

My ipod was stolen, how can i track it without have to wait for the serial number?

The serial number will not help you track it at all.
IF you set up fond my ipod on the ipod itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been restored by the thief, tehn you may be able to get an approx street address from icloud/find my ipod.
Otherwise, there is no way to track it at all.

TS4006 i had my iphone 4s stolen , how can block the device or wipe out its content?

I had my iphone 4 s stolen, how can i block the device or wipe out its content?

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.

kindly note that my IPhone was stolen and the stoler is using my email as well as my personal data, however , im not sure if find my iphone software is activated or not .please asset me to find my iphone or at least format it

1. this is not Apple customer service, this is just a forum for Apple product users
2. Apple does not have anything to do with lost or stolen devices - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
3. You need to take this issue to your local police and ask them how to deal with it.

If my iphone is stolen how can i retrieve photos from stolen device via photostream or icloud

My iphone was stolen 1 month ago. I have set up an ´erase content´ and icloud block via the find my iphone app. Will I be able to retrieve photos from taken on my stolen iphone via photostream or an icloud restore/back up some how?
Someone has contacted saying they bought my stolen iphone (in peru) and are asking that I unblock my phone. I have since recieved a new iphone via insurance but would like to now if there is a way to access my photos taken on the stolen device. Because I have a macbook that is also logged into my icloud account, will i somehow be able to access my old photos from my macbook?

The erase should take place the next time the phone is on and connected to a data network (via wi-fi or cellular). There is no need for them to enter your password. More details: iCloud: Erase your device
They don't have to enter your Apple ID password for that to happen. Do NOT give them your password, now or ever. They do not need to enter anything for the erase to take place. It just needs to connect to a data network (and that may not be possible if the phone is outside of your cellular carrier's area and if it cannot connect to wi-fi).
Do NOT remove the device from your account. The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
What if your iOS device is off or offline?
If your missing device is off or offline, 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. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
There isn't anything else you can do at this point to make the phone erase -- you have done what you can do. If the phone did not have a passcode, they have likely already had access to your data if the phone is in a foreign country since it wouldn't be online (connected to wi-fi or cellular) unless they intentionally did that.

My iphone was stolen how can i locked?

my iphone was stolen i want to locked by serial number

Unless you had Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings, the best you can do is change the password to your Apple ID account and report it to the authorities.

I recently upgraded to osx 10.5.6 and found the version of itunes which allowed me to use my iphone 4, well now i've got the iphone 5 c, how can i find a version of itunes that will work on osx 10.5.6 and allow me to syn my iphone 5?

is there a version of itunes that works with osx 10.5.6 and also allows my to sync my iphone 5?

You say you have 10.5.6 (Leopard) but your signature says you have 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard) - which is it?
If it's Snow Leopard all you have to do is apply the combo updater:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
If it's Leopard it depends on what sort of processor you have. It it's PPC you cannot proceed. If it's Intel you may be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard (which is available in the Online Apple Store) provided you have enough RAM: check the requirements against your Mac.

My Iphone was stolen, how can i get it back through support?

any help how to get my stolen Iphone back through support or web site

You do not.
Apple is not law enforcement or a private investigator.
If you enabled the "Find My iPhone" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, you may be able to track it via iCloud.com.
If you did not enable this feature, there is nothing that can be done.
Contact your carrier and law enforcement.

My iphone was stolen, how can I download the photos from icloud to my pc?

Hi,
After my iphone got stolen last saturday I've tried to download the photos from the icloud to my pc and it didn't work.
What can I do to gat the photos and my whatsupp backup?

You cannot access Photo Stream from iCloud.com.
Photo Stream is a sync tool, not a backup solution.
You can get the last 30 days of photos from your Photo Stream by installing and signing into iCloud Contol Panel.
To get your Whatsapp and Camera Roll data you will need to restore it from your backup to another iOS device.

My ipod has been stolen how can i track it i got the serial number

Help my ipod touch 4 gen has been stolen nd i know who has it plz get it back if you want i have the serial number

The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
- 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 to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- 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

My iphone was stolen. how can i block my iphone?

is it possible to block a stolen iphone?

I'm sorry to hear that Mary.
First of all, report it stolen to your local police department. Tell them your phone's Serial Number.
Second, contact Apple's Lost Prevention department. Tell them your phone's Serial Number.
Let your carrier know.
If you have iCloud and have enabled Find My iPhone, if your phone is on and your Apple ID still loaded into the phone, you can go to iCloud.com and locate it.
Do not go after it yourself. Let your local police department know.
If Find My iPHone does not find your phone, either it is turned off or has been erased. If so, it won't find it.
If the phone is merely turned off, and you are certain it is gone forever, from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com you can click on the blue circled and remotely wipe your data. When the phone gets turned on, you will get an email saying the wipe has been done. If your data is already erased, there isn't anything you can do other than steps 1-3.
Again, I'm sorry.
Good luck
