IPhone stolen, can I keep it on iCloud account even after activating new phone?

So my phone was stolen a little while ago and they took my iphone along with a bunch of other stuff. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to keep the stolen iphone active on my iCloud list so I'm alerted if they turn it on, even after activating a new phone. I would just cut my losses but I want to get all my IDs and cards back if there's even a slim chance.
What happens if I activate a new phone using the same number and Apple ID? Will the old phone still be there, or will it disappear from the iCloud devices? I was thinking of setting it to "wipe" but I think just setting it to "Lost Mode" will give me a slim chance if they turn it on again. The phone does have a password and I bet they know they were being tracked so I'd be surprised if they turned it on, but you never know. the police case is still active, but I need a new phone ASAP so I can't just wait to see if anything happens with the old one.

No. The only way to retain them on the iPod after they have been deleted from the computer is to not sync. YOu also can;t add new one .

I changed my ICloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

How can I replace a previous icloud account and add a new one on iphone 4S?

I am using my wife's old iphone 4s and I want to set up my own icloud account and remove hers from the phone without cancelling her access to her icloud account.

Hello topbleep,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you’re wife’s iCloud account is signed in on the phone you are using and you would like it to have your account. You can sign out of her iCloud account on the iPhone and sign in to your account. This will not cancel her iCloud account. To sign out of an iCloud account on an iPhone, please follow the instructions located in the attached article.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
Have a great day,
Joe

Iphone stolen. Am I able to erase my info with a new phone activated?

My iphone 5 got stolen a few days ago and I immediately put it into lost mode with a sound to go off and a message to appear telling him/her to return it. I got a couple of locations tracked but the theif would keep the phone off. I have iOS 7 with a passcode on the phone and Find my phone activated so I know the phone is pretty much useless and they won't be able to get in. I came to terms that the phone is long gone and I probably won't be getting it back so I went to t-mobile to get a new SIM card for another phone and clicked "Erase iphone" on iCloud. Since the stolen phone is offline, it says the data will be erased once it is connected to the internet. Without much thought I put the new SIM in the phone activating it but when it asked to log in to iCloud, I thought of something that I wasn't sure of so I thought I'd ask. My question is since the new SIM is activated, if I log into my icloud restoring the new phone to whatever I have saved on there, will the information on the stolen phone still be erased? Since the SIM card on the stolen phone is inactivated now, there is no cellular network for it to connect to , and the only way it would be erased is if it was connected to wifi, correct? But if I log into icloud on the new phone, will it log out of the old one and not erase my pictures, contacts, data, etc? Sorry for the huge paragraph, I just want to make sure all my data will still be able to be erased, even if I activate and start using a new phone (which is also an iphone 5). Responses will be appreciated. Thanks!

The find my iPhone services work based on the MIME and serial number, not your carrier's data... therefore the deletion should work if the device is ever connected to a network.
You can have several devices with the same Apple ID so you also don't need to worry about unwillingly logging the other device out.

Why can't I get my icloud account to register my new email on my iPad. I have managed to change it with iTunes and Apple.

I bought an iPad and opened up an iCloud account now iCloud won't register my new email address on my iPad! Why?

Okay, got it working!
My process was pretty straightforward (of course, everything is, in hindsight):
(1) Go to my user library folder
(2) Do a spotlight search for the word "mail"
(3) Delete something that looks like it might be related to/possibly interfering with Mail's operation
(4) Try Mail
I repeated the above process a couple of times and poof, Mail started to add my accounts! First, my Gmail account, and then, after disabling and re-enabling my iCloud account inside System Preferences > iCloud, my iCloud account too!
The file I believe was the lynchpin was located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
Give that a shot if you can't get your iCloud/Gmail email to show up in Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) under OS X 10.9.1, despite the accounts seemingly adding succesfully in System Preferences.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This may delete mail you have stored locally, so please do not attempt if you store your email locally (i.e. POP email setups). I think for IMAP setups (e.g. iCloud & Gmail) this is just deleting the cached versions of the emails, so they'll just get rebuilt once the email is downloaded from the server again.

I can not log in to my account even after re-setting my password and id. Same thing on my iphone.

My iphone will sync but apps do not open. I can not log into my account through my phone or my mac book even after re-setting it. Very frustrated right now. Also, even though there are new versions for both my phone and itunes, neither will update.

Go to the log in page, but select '''''I FORGOT MY PASSWORD'''''.

Can I keep photos on my iTouch even after they've been deleted from my Mac?

I sync photos onto my iTouch, but due to limited space on my MacBook I periodically backup then delete all the photos on my Mac. What then happens is that next time I sync my iTouch all the photos that were on my iTouch disappear.
If I uncheck the "sync photos" checkbox, it then deletes all the photos on the iTouch.
I want to be able to put photos on the iTouch and leave them there, and later add new ones. Is this possible?
Is there anyway to keep the old photos on the iTouch even though they've been deleted from my Mac?

No. The only way to retain them on the iPod after they have been deleted from the computer is to not sync. YOu also can;t add new one .

Office Pro 8000: Can't Print/Out of Ink Error even after installing new cartridge.

When I tried to use my printer a few days ago, I received a "Can't Print: Out of Ink" error message concerning the magenta cartridge. I had used the printer a few days before that, and had not received a low ink warning. It seemed suspicious to me that I would have received an empty cartridge error message without first receiving a low cartridge warning. The yellow and cyan cartridges read 70% full - all 3 were original cartridges.
I purchased a new 940XL magenta cartridge and installed it per instructions. Now I am getting a message that the new 940XL cartridge is empty. I can shake the old 940 cartridge and hear liquid inside. Obviously, the new cartridge is also full. I've tried cycling power, reinstalling the software, etc, with no change in status. If I swap back and forth between the old 940 and new 940XL cartridge, they are properly identified by type on my screen as the 940 or 940XL. Due to the way the problem has presented itself, I don't believe it is a cartridge issue.
Of course, problem first arouse on May 8th, and my warrantee expired April 26th. Any suggestions?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I've solved my own problem, which was clearly a factory assembly defect. I looked inside my printer with a flashlight in the area where the ink cartridges are installed, and found magenta ink sprayed inside the printer. I disassembled the printer, and found that the magenta line had been damaged during assembly. There are four ink tubes which exit from behind the ink cartridges, then make a U turn back toward the front of the printer. Just after the U turn, they make another bend up-wards. It is at this point that I found the damaged magenta line, directly above a screw on the right-hand side of the ink cartridge housing. The lines are in a very narrow passage, and are held in place by several keepers molded out of plastic. It appears that the lines were put in place in the keepers, then the screw inserted from above. As I said, it is a very tight passage, and it would be very easy to damage the ink line at that point if the lines weren't carefully held back to insert the screw during assembly.
To solve the problem, I removed approximately 1/4 inch of damaged magenta ink line. I carefully cut the line with a sharp razor, to prevent collapsing the line or causing burrs to the tubing. I then placed about 3/4" of self-sealing heat shrink tubing over one end of the ink line. Next I spliced the line with a small piece of stiff plastic tubing from the handle of a cotton swab, which was a perfect, snug fit over the ink line. Being careful not to collapse the ink tube or cause further damage, I gently twisted the ink line back and forth until the ends were butted up inside the cotton swab splice. I then positioned the heat-shrink tubing over the splice, and shrunk it with a hair dryer. The heat-shrink tubing I used has hot-melt glue applied to the inside, which further aided in making a leak-proof splice. Again, there is not a lot of room, so the splice had to be kept small.
I reassembled the printer, reinstalled the ink cartridges, and powered up the printer. After the normal, long start-up delay, I printed several full-color test sheets, and all was fine. The magenta cartridge that I had installed previously now shows that it is full, and the remaining cartridges also read the levels that they had prior to disassembly.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You can set up a secondary account in icloud where you can sync some of the services like contacts and events. Google "icloud secondary account" for details.

Can two people share an icloud account keeping their info separate

can two people share an icloud account keeping their info separate

No: iCloud is intended for use by one person to keep their Macs and devices in sync. Anyone signed into the account has access to all its data. Separate people should have separated iCloud accounts, and separate user accounts on their Mac(s).

I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

Thank you KiltedTim!
YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!
