Iphone 4s has been stolen can i get it black screened?

I have had my iphone stolen whilst on holiday, and am concerned about banking apps etc that are on it.
Someone has told me it is possible to get the phone black screened??

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.

    If it was jailbroken, no support by Apple or on Apple forums exists.
    If it was unlocked by the carrier and you enabled Find my iPhone:

    No. You can do it if you have Find My iPhone installed/enabled on your iPhone though, but only if the phone is still turned on

  • My iphone has been stolen can i find it?

    If you turned on Find My iPhone before it was stolen, then you can track it on icloud.com in a browser or the Find My iPhone app on iOS. Otherwise, you can't do anything.

  • IPhone 4 has been stolen by pickpocket!

    My iPhone 4 has been stolen by pickpocket.
    I have made police report for it. I know there was no chance to get it back.
    Can i report to any Apple Support for this issue?

    Apple is not law enforcement and is not in the business of helping user's track lost/stolen devices.  They are only a manufacturer, like HP, Motorolla, Sony, LG, Nokia, and Samsung.
    If the device is turned off... there is not much that can be done.
    Contacting local law enforcement and reporting it stolen and reporting it to the carrier is the extent of what a user can do.

  • My iphone 4 has been stolen ,help me

    my iphone 4 has been stolen in 30th April 2012, please help me

    hi,
    if u have the imei number (it should be on u r purchase reciept) or if u r using paymonthly phone ask u r network provider if they had any records of u r imei number. tell u r network to block the phone. file a police complaint.
    u can get the data back if u already sync u r iphone with u r itunes in u r laptop.
    if u have installed icloud in u r divice u can locate u r phone by your self otherwise...its police duty!
    Best option go for insurance claim if u have one.
    bestofluck,
    siva.

    Hello Apple Support, 
     My iPhone 5 has been stolen and I want to lock the device totally. 
    My Apple ID is **********Stolen Device Serial Number: DN*******TWD

    Sorry if my English isn't correct because of I'm Italian.
    You must switch on the lost mode on the app " Find my iPhone ".
    If you can see it on the map of this app, you will know where is your iPhone in that moment.
    REMEMBER: you can see your iPhone on the map of  " Find my iPhone"  only if it is online. Indeed you can't see your iPhone if it's offlined or switched of.

  • My Iphone 4 has been stolen. If someone tries to restore it on itunes and erase the password, will I be notified? Ive logged the phone as stolen.

    My iphone 4 has been stolen.
    Ive done some googling and found you can erase a passcode and restore a phone to factory settings using itunes... if this happens and someone tries to do it with my phone- will i be notified???

    No, you will not receive notification if someone restores your iPhone
    as new via iTunes. If you had set up Find my iPhone prior to the loss,
    you could remotely wipe your iPhone if it was connected to the internet
    without being restored. If your iPhone is restored by someone else, all
    data on it will be lost.
    If you had no lockscreen password on your iPhone,
    all of your data was accessible to whoever has it. Change all your passwords
    immediately. Report the theft to the police and your cellular provider. In some
    countries, cellular providers will block the iPhone from being used in that
    country but block does not apply elsewhere. Sorry to hear of your loss.

    IPhone device has been stolen and I want my close ?

    If you had Find My iPhone turned on and the iPhone is "On" then you should go to your iCloud Account and click on the Tab related to your lost iPhone.  If you can see the device location you can delete your data from the device and lock it down.

  • My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

    My iPhone playlist has dissapeared, how can I get it back?

    I'm very new to this sort of thing, so bear with me.  I had my computer in to the Apple store on Jan 10th, & they replaced Leopard with Snow leopard because of problems.  I have iphoto 8.
    This morning opening my computer a picture briefly appreared that I had saved to iphoto. I decided to place it in its correct event box, and  ! sign appeared.  Upon opening iphoto, I found a blank.  I've not backed up my files.  I've looked everywhere on the system, including Trash, applications, Pictures, all my document files.  
    Also I had 2 icons  of iphoto on my desktop because it had disappeared 2 years ago & came back some months later.  Two days ago I decided to clean up my desktop & moved the icons to the pIcture  file and a document file.  I don't know whether this triggered the disappearance. The main icon is still in the dock.
    Does this help?

  • My ipod classic has been stolen can anybody download my personal  photos from it

    my ipod classic has been stolen can anybody download my personal photos from it

    They can, but the images will only be the small thumbnail files that are created for optimized viewing on the iPod's smaller display.  That is unless you store the images on the iPod in their full resolution.

  • My iphone.4 has been stolen,i want to track it with another iphone or my pc ... is that possible ?

    my iphone.4 has been stolen,i want to track it with another iphone or my pc ... is that possible ?

    IF you installed and activated find my iphone on the iphone iself BEFORE it was stolen, AND it is on, AND it has not been restored, then you may be able to track it.
    Since you are asking the question, I am guessing that you did not install find my iphone.
    If this is the case, then, no, you cannot track it.
    Sorry.
