IPhone Stolen , can apple block the phone's serial from itunes?

hi there , i've just lost my phone about like an hour ago while i was in the gym, i have the warranty card and the phone can be traced as registered under my name ( will be providing to any apple staff my identification card along with the report of the lost phone ) , pls tell me what i should do so that the phone can no longer be used. ( better still if you could some how miraculously trace the phone , im sad i did not get mobileme haih ! )

No.
Contact the local police to report it, and contact your carrier to report your iPhone as lost or stolen. Many carriers will block a cell phone's IMEI number that has been reported lost or stolen by the owner which will prevent someone else from activating the iPhone with that carrier.
If you didn't have the Passcode Lock enabled, you should change the password for each email account you were accessing with the iPhone's Mail app.

    No.
    Apple can do nothing.
    You cannot block it from being "registered".
    If you did not set up find my ipad before it was lost, then there is nothing you can do but change your passwords.

    Yes, you can!(:
    STEP 1: Open iTunes
    STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
    STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
    STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
    NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
    NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
    NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
    Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

  • Certain podcasts I can download on the phone but not from the desktop

    This is might sound weird so I apologize if I confuse people.
    Tekzilla has separate RSS feeds for different versions of their podcast. Small quicktime, large quicktime, HD quicktime. Obviously with iTunes you can sync the iPhone with podcasts or you can download the podcast themselves over wifi on the iPhone itself. I have been able to sync the small and large quicktime versions with no trouble at all.
    It's the HD quicktime version that is giving me trouble.
    If I signup for the HD quicktime version of the podcast in iTunes it downloads like it is supposed to but that version of the podcast can not sync up with my iPhone ever and I get the message about how it can not be played on iPhone. Now the weird thing is I can download the HD quicktime version directly on the iPhone itself using wifi and the iTunes app on the iPhone itself and it plays with no problem at all.
    My question is how is it possible that I can't sync the HD quicktime version of a podcast from iTunes yet I can download that same version over wifi and it plays perfectly?
    I know there really is no point in watching the HD quicktime version on the iPhone's small screen but my point is why is it possible to download it on the iPhone and not being able to get it from the desktop version of iTunes? It sounds like there is some kind of error in the desktop iTunes app.

    Hi Jeff

    The one at my work downloads fine and fast, the other never ends its "waiting to install"

  • HT1390 i can not find the movies i rent from itunes in library.

    Not all content types are available in all countries - in each country Apple can only sell what they are licensed to (and in some cases what a country's laws allows them to). A list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599

  • I somehow lost a large amount of my music downloads and albums that I had uploaded to iTunes.  How can I get the items I downloaded from iTunes Store again?

    I upgraded my Anti-Virus and it included a storage box which I tried to use but it filled up with my iTunes music so I deleted that but evidently it also removed a lot of my music from my iTunes libraries.  I can re-upload all the music from CDs but how do I replace the music I bought from the iTunes Store?  I really don't want to buy the music again, in fact I just can't do that.  Any suggestions?

    Download Past Purchases
    Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
    2 )See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store

  • I can't find the movie I downloaded from itunes

    I downloaded a movie from iTunes.  Took a long time.  I can not find
    The movie now.

    It should have downloaded into the Videos app :
    If you can't find it there then have you got any age ratings restrictions set in Settings > General > Restrictions that might be hiding it ? If not then can you find it by name via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right).

  • MacBook Pro Stolen: can apple block my device?

    Hi,
    I've been stolen my MacBook Pro 13' this week end and I would like to know if apple is able to block my former device ?
    Thanks for your help.

    I'm afraid that there is nothing to be done from Apple's side.
    Most importantly, you must focus on any sensitive information that you have stored on your Macbook. whether secured or insecure (in fact you have to consider it insecure from now). Particularly bank or financial information, and then consider passwords etc that could be used.
    Sorry

  • Hi ,my name is napoleon from Australia ,just want to know like I went for holiday in the philippines and someone stole my iPhone 4S,how can I blocked that phone so that no one can use it?

    Hi my name is Napoleon and I just know what will happen to my iPhone 4S ,I went for a holiday in the Philippines las 2 weeks ago and some stole my iPhone 4S, how can I block the phone so that no one can use it?

    You can't block it from use worldwide. Some carriers will block phones reported as stolen. I hope you had a passcode on it and that you had set the option to erase the phone after 10 failed tries. If you didn't change every password on every account ever accessed from the iPhone. And cancel any credit cards that you have used from the iPhone.

  • ITunes had an error while trying to update my iPhone 6+ and now the phone is bricked (and iTunes is not detecting it)

    So I tried Installing iOS 8.3 onto my iPhone 6+, updated iTunes to the latest version, 12.1.2, downloaded the update for the phone, connected my phone - it detected fine like it always does. When I tried installing, it went to about halfway or so and then iTunes said there was a problem updating the phone.
    The phone icon disappeared from iTunes and when I checked the phone it was giving the blank screen. I tried turning it off and on again... It showed the apple logo, and then the connect to itunes icon, but iTunes is not detecting it.
    Even if I take it out and put it back in again, even with the hard reset holding the home and power buttons. I'm running Windows 8.1. So far I've tried the hard reset, cleaning the connector pins, switching to a a different USB port, reinstalling iTunes, checking to see if the Apple Mobile Device software is up to date, even using a previous restore point in windows.
    The device makes a noise when it gets plugged in, indicating that it's being detected by the computer, but iTunes... nothing. And my phone is stuck on showing the connect to iTunes picture and it's bricked and unusable and I'm wondering why I even bothered with this stupid update.

    Most of the recent updates showed the connect to iTunes screen for a short time. But if the update was done with the iOS device connected to the computer running iTunes, the Connect to iTunes screen appeared only briefly then the update completed. If your iPhone didn't complete the update you will have to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode. Follow the steps very carefully in the link below. You might have to try several times to get your phone into Recovery Mode.

  • I used to have an I phone but sold it and now I bought an iPad 2 and want to know is there any way to put all the stuff I bought from iTunes back when I had the phone on my new iPad ?

    I want to know if I can access all the stuff I bought from iTunes a year ago

    All of your "Stuff" should be on your computer.  Just sync it to the ipad.

  • Can Apple block my stolen iPhone 5 from downloading apps from itunes store if i provide them with the necessary infos like serial no., IMEI/MEID no.?

    and all other information regarding the device like hardware no. etc
    The phone's serial no. goes up in itunes whenever it is connected right?
    Seriously, this much technology, hoping apple can block it from accessing their itunes database if ever it pops up somewhere.

    You are assuming that no one ever sells an iPhone. The registration with your serial number has nothing to do with purchases or use. Which also applies to your block.
    There is now a carrier database of IMEI's in the US so whoever ends up with it will probably not be able to use it as a phone in the US. And if they restore it the phone will not activate and will become unusable.
