IPhone stolen, how to I break their connection to my Apple id?

My phone was stolen approx a year ago, and about 2 weeks ago, new contacts started showing up in my phone (all of them Sri Lankan, as I've now found out), as well as months and months of new photos taken by the phone new owner appearing in my photostream.
I know I am not getting the phone back, and have long since replaced the stolen one, but this contact and photostream stuff is annoying! Is there a way to break this connection between my old phone and my contacts/photostream?
Many thanks in advance

Yes, reset your Apple ID password.

  • IPhone stolen - how to lock with "find my iPhone" set off?

    I have my iPhone serial number, witch was stolen, how to lock or delete the agenda, if "find my iPhone" was set off?

    Do you have an iCloud account, and did you set up "Find my iPhone/iPod"?  You would have needed to do this prior to the loss of the device.  If you did not set up "Find my iPhone", then there is no way to lock the iPhone.

  • IPhone stolen how to track.

    Hello earlier today my car was broken into and along with everything in it my iphone was stolen. is there anyway I can use the find my iphone app if it is not signed in and there is no sim in it. when i log in on my ipad it says phone is offline but then says i will be notified soon as the iphone is connected to the internet. will that still work if the find my iphone app is not logged it and they put a different sim in it? is there any otherway to track it like with IMEI number?
    cheers any help would be awesome.

    Sorry, the only way to track any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone. However, this requires that such be setp/activated & turned on BEFORE your phone was lost/stolen. In your case, there is no way to track your phone. Report the loss to your carrier, Insurance company & the police. Change all of your passwords. If your carrier supports blacklisting, they will do so at your request.

  • Iphone stolen- how to block destroy my iPhone?

    Hello,
    my iphone 5 was stolen yesterday. I called my provider immediately, however I had not activated 'find my iphone' prior. Was can I do to prevent misuse. I would like to have my iphone blocked/destroyed for ever. Is that possible?

    No. Since you did not configure Find My iPhone when you still had, there is nothing you can do now.

  • IPhone stolen, how to get old contacts back?

    My iphone has gone and I have a new one on insurance. My old phone had ten years of contacts on it that the guy in the shop had transfered from my previous phone when I first got the iphone. I have a vague memory of a colleage at work setting me up on itunes on a work computer but I had never used itunes and stupidly never sync-ed or taken a backup of my contacts as far as I am aware, although presumably there must have been something that happened right at the beginning to get my phone started. Is there any way I can find my  old contacts? They did not immediately appear when I plugged my new phone in - all I got was a random list of email addresse when I asked it to look at my google account. Do they exist on a file somewhere?

    Your contacts are gone. The iPhone was never designed to be a stand alone storage device. While contacts are included in the iPhone backup, that backup only happens if you sync or manually create a backup. Since you don't sync(bad idea), no iPhone backup exists to restore from. Further, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported contact application on your computer. Had you been doing things, as designed, it would be a simple matter of restoring your contacts. Don't make the same mistake with your new phone.

  • HT1349 My Ipad was stolen, How can I get the serial Number from Apple. It was registered with them

    I had  2 Ipads, a mac book pro and a Mac Air stolen 2 weeks ago
    I am trying to locate one of the serial numbers, but cant find the last box.  Can I get the serial number from Apple. It was registered and now it is not showing up as one of my products.
    Thanks

    The easiest way to find your serial number is this Open Itunes...click help... run diagnostics.....(tick or untick as necessary) so that you just have ticked the last two,  device connectivity and device sync.  run these tests. it will say no ipod/ipad found but will give results of test....scroll down to bottom of results... here you will find the serial number of your last attached devices.

  • How can I check out the computers my Apple ID is activated on?

    Hi there!
    I hope there is a simple solution for this issue: I want to see not only how many, but which computers are connected to my Apple ID. In iTunes I can see that 5 computers are activated, but the only option is to deactivate all of them (which I really don't want to). Beneath that I can see that 4 deviced are connected to my Apple ID/iCloud.
    Is there any way to delete only one or two devices? Can I reactivate a device after deleting it or do I have to wait 90 days?
    Thanks for your help!

    I want to see not only how many, butwhich computers are connected to my Apple ID."
    You cannot.  There is no list.
    You can only deauthorize a computer from that computer.
    If you have reached the limit of 5, then deauthorize all and authorize the active computers.

  • My iPhone getting stolen,how I get the actual location my iPhone way using the apps find my iPhone?

    My iPhone getting stolen,how I get the actual location the full address to find my iPhone way using the apps find my iPhone?

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing - the app is for tracking a device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to pay for it. 
    If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

    If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
    Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click:  File>Transfer Purchases
    This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
    Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How many iPhones stolen per day? Prevent shutdown.

    Dear friends.
    Since I had my iPhone stolen I'm searching for a way (without jailbreaking it) to prevent that my new iPhone gets lost.
    "Find my iPhone" is only useful when the thief is dum.b as hel.l and when nobody has found it (yet).
    Does Apple see comercial advantages on this situation? How many iPhones are stolen a day?!
    I mean, why in the world wouldn't you develop security apps and security features so we don't lose our beloved phones?
    This is serious, and it seems Apple doesn't care. I don't want to jailbreak my iPhone, but you are not helping, Apple!
    I would like to see a Restriction setting that would block the shutdown of my iPhone when it's locked. It would require a passcode to shut it down. It's so simple!
    This way thieves wouldn't be able to shut it down!
    The same works for Airplane mode and Wi-Fi. A passcode should be required to turn it off (if I enable this feature).
    Advanced considerations: DFU mode and recovery mode should "expire", the iPhone should reset itself after some time (e.g. 10 minutes) so the iPhone would come back to life and allow tracking.
    SECURITY!
    So far nothing was done in this area. I believe Apple should pay more attention to this.
    Best regards,
    Will

    Sorry requiring a passcode to shut down the phone isn't a good idea.
    do you know how many users forget their 4 digit passcode to unlock their phones - use the search function at the top right and you'll see all the threads.
