IPhone got stolen and found again
Hi!
So recently, my iPhone got stolen, and the theif wiped all the data and information and put his icloud information (io7) on it, the police found the phone and handed it over but then his information is on the phone and i can't get past activation, so my question is, how do I get past it?
Do I ask the police for a report and go to Apple? Because I heard apple dosen't do it?
Or can I use some software to do it?
Thank You!
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. Unfortunately this has sort of worked in reverse for you. You have no alternative. No must get the Apple ID and password the thief used in order to use the device. If the thief will not provide this info you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Good evening !
Oh sorry I didn't get it was just a title ...
So, as i said, my iphone got stolen like a month ago, and i purchased a new one.
I downloaded other apps in this new iphone and i think i did an error by syncing it with itunes as it seems that it doesn't have all the other apps i downloaded on the other iphone.
So I would like to know how to get back all my apps ?
Thank you very much

My iPhone got stolen and FindMyiPhone does not work PLEASE HELP!
Hello there.
This is my first post and I got a question.
Here's my story
My iPhone 3GS got stolen this week and I had "FindmyiPhone" (iOS 5.0.1) configured, but when I try to locate my iPhone it will show up as "offline".
I've once heared you can trace your iPhone by an EMEI or UPC number or something like that.
Do you guys know more about that so I can trace down my iPhone and can show it the police?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
RenzeauI just got my macbook pro stolen last night. the theive opened it and I got the email from findmyiphone. I can see which house it is at, but the thing is cops can't help. Im still watching it on my iphone waiting for them to ope it again so I can see its location. But Im already ****** as $%#% because 911 told me that they cant keep following a missing laptop.
so that was my story, right now my macbook is showing as red also. But keep watching it because they have to turn it on eventually and as long as you check email me when found on icloud.com then you will get an email. Or you can also keep watching on your computer.
So again go on icloud.com and sign in with the itunes account/email that you use on your iphone, you'll see the find my iPhone option there! -
so i lost my iphone and i remotely locked it on my ipod and it says i will recieve a email when its been locked but i never got one does tht mean the thief couldve went to itunes and made it a new device..?? please reply im really worried and i just go it like 2 weeks ago :3
and when i remote lock it am i still able to find it ??aww so if they restore it i wont be able to dial the old phone number that i had on it even if i turned it on.... and since i never got a message saying that the lock has been successfully added they already restored it :3
and would they just get a bill of their own.. i dont want to get a bill cause of them using it.. -
" action will take afect when this iphone conects to the internet... " BUT whats now??
Report the theft to the police.
Change your passwords as soon as possible.
And alert your carrier about the theft.

Iphone got stolen. what to do?
my iphone got stolen and i do not installed Find My Iphone or any apps like that. how do i find it back? can i use the serial number and IMEI somehow trake it down or lock the phone? thanks~
Best thing to do is report it to your network, and the police. Give both the IMEI number, and get it blocked. If you give police the IMEI number, then if they finnd it, you hould get it back. Also, check local second hand stores, all those that pay cash for phones. Take your IMEI with you, like the box, and you can either call the police upon finding it, or, you may even get it returned.

My iphone got stolen and i would like to block it. How can I do it ?
Thank youThe 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, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, & Find My Phone turned on/activated, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored. -
Hi guys,
My iphone got stolen yesterday night, I activated lost mode but the phone was off and couldnt be tracked, today i just got an email about the last place the phone was found yesterday night, its off again, i went there but they said that nobody has found an iphone, police does not do anything also, what should i do?My iPhone was stolen. Straight away I used the findmyiphone app. No surprise that the phone had been turned off, rendering the app totally useless.
I thought its ok, I've got a pin code. My brother then goes on to tell me that they are easily bypassed.
My brother states that if you put an iPhone in dfu mode, connect that iPhone too iTunes
That iTunes detects the said phone is in dfu mode and does a system restore.
Wiping the phone and giving the Theif a brand new iPhone!!!
Someone from apple please tell me WHY THIS CAN HAPPEN?!

My phone got stolen and I don't have "find my iphone" app, I need a way to track it down
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.
1. Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
2. Find my lost iPod Touch
3. AT&T. Sprint, and Verizon can block stolen phones/tablets
4. What-To-Do-When-Iphone-Is-Stolen
5. What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
6. 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone
7. Find My iPhone
8. Report Stolen iPad | Stolen Lost Found Online
It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:
1. Find My iPhone
2. Setup your iDevice on iCloud
3. OS X Lion/Mountain Lion- About Find My Mac

My iPhone 4 got stolen and it has apple protection care, will apple replace it?
My iPhone 4 got stolen and it has apple protection care, will apple replace it?
If you mean the Extended Warranty, then, no, Apple does not replace stolen or lost iPhones. If you have theft protection through other insurance, then report it to your agent. Be sure to report the theft to the police.
I would not hold your breath waiting for it to be recovered, however. Very few items like iPhones that have been stolen are ever recovered. -
I've got 4 iPhones that got stolen and I could not locate then using the " find my Iphone App". How can I get them back?

I just got a brand new iphone 4s yesterday and found that the phone already had 10 days 15 hours cellular time on it, does it mean the phone is a used one?
That's not a reset pin. There is no reset hole in which to poke it. Neither is there a reset button. It is the SIM removal tool. If you had it, it would save you the agony of finding a paper clip.
The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook. -
my iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?
After the sixth erroneous passcode entry a delay is imposed that increases exponentially and eventually reaches over 40 years before another attempt can be made.
No one yet knows how long the next delay is.
