I used Lost my iphone and got phone back. how do I reactivate it

I lost my Iphone 4S and used the lost phone function in Find iphone.  My phone has been returned to me but when I start it it asks for a 4 digit PIN number.  Where and how do I get this PIN number?

Either enter the PIN or do as the Users Guide states and restore the device.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.

  • I lost my iphone and cannot figure out how to open the "find my iphone app after I downloaded it in itunes

    I lost my iphone and cannot figure out how to open the app "find my iphone" in itunes after I have downloaded it. Can anybody help?

    Or did you mean you had downloaded it to your iPhone, and you were looking for the app in iTunes to activate it? If so, that is not where you would do it. You need to sign on to your iCloud account on your computer - that's where it is housed....
    Sorry if I misunderstood!

  • I have lost my Iphone and want to know how to activate "find my iPhone"?  App on my Air book mac

    I want to know how to activate the app "find my iPhone" in this air book mac.  I have to app down loaded on this machine as well as my iPhone and havent got a clue how to get it activated through "I Tunes"....Can I get some advice?

    First of all, your lost iPhone should had been enabled the 'Find My iPhone' before you lost it.  If disabled, then there is nothing you can do to find the lost iPhone.
    If your iPhone was enabled in 'Find My iPhone', then click the app 'Find My iPhone' in your airbook mac.  It would prompt yuo for an Apple ID and its password.  Key-in the Apple ID and password of your lost iPhone.  Thereafter, use the Map to locate your iPhone's whereabouts.  This function only works when your lost iPhone has been turned on and with either WIFI connection or 3G internet connection.  Otherwise, this said app does not work.

  • HT1688 I reset my Iphone and got everything back accept ringtones, how can I get them back?

    I recently reset my Iphone 4S 16 GB and I backed it up with Icloud. I got everything back ( apps, music, photos, ETC.) accept for my purchased ringtones. I am trying everything to get them back. I know they are still there because when I tried to purchase one again, it said I already purchased it. How can I get them back and what happened to them?  
                                                                                                                                                                 Thanks,

    I would try deleting these from your Itunes on your PC/Mac but i gather you have these ticked to sink when you plug in your iphone check this first. Then you could try downloading them again from itunes.
    You can download anything you have purchased again from I tunes by clicking on the purchased link the right hand side of itunes store link in. I have never had Ringtunes so i would make sure these are availble download before you delete. There are lots of good free apps with ringtunes and ones that enable you to simply cut a short sample from any of the tracks from your itunes list.

  • I lost my iPhone and its off now how do I find it

    I lost my iPhone 4 and when I call it its dead how can I track it if I have no GPS or tracking apps set up on it?????

    You can't
    If it is off then your only way it to start looking for like anything else you may have lost

  • I lost my iPhone and it is dead how can I find it by radar or something?

    PLEASE GIVE ME A SUGGESTION!

    If you had Find My iPhone enabled, you can try going to iCloud.com to see if it's been connected to the internet in the last 24 hours. If all you see is "Device Offline," your only option is to start looking in places you think it may be.

  • We have two iphones and only one ipad.  We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids.  How do we get our ipad to accept this?

    We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac.  We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones.  How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts?  icloud is enabled on all three devices. 

    Also, be aware of the following:
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?

    ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card.

  • I recently lost my iPhone and tried to use "Find my iPhone" but did not see my phone listed. Why is that?

    I recently lost my iPhone and tried to use "Find my iPhone" but did not see my phone listed. Why is that?

    If it is not turned on and connected to the Internet it will not show up.  If has been restored to factory condition it will not show up.
