Iphone tracking and icloud

I had my iphone stolen while travelling in Berlin two weeks ago. The sim in it was not able to make calls or texts but was able to recieve. Cellular data was not activated either. I unfortunately do not use a passcode.
I understand its a lost cause getting it, although I am unable to track the iphone using icloud 'find my iphone' and it claims it hasn't come online in two weeks or it would notify me and lock the phone and then erase it as per my request. This has not happened although I am getting photostreams and contact syncing to my ipad and macbook from the guy who has my phone. Some great selfies from the guy are now in my iphoto library.....
Why if it is connected to some form of data, whether cellular of wifi has it not locked and erased but rather updated all my stuff. I just changed the password on my apple ID and restored contacts from time machine but it still reverts to icloud contacts and erases mine.

Wait untill the device is on, or contact apple for them to try and contact the phone to turn it on

Only photos from your Camera Roll will transfer over using Photo Stream.

IPhone 3G and iCloud mail

Hi all. I have a question. I have a 3 y.o. iPhone 3G and I would like to configure my new @me.com mail.
If I go to "add new mobile me account" on the phone, it gives me only the option "Find my iPhone": I'm wondering wht it doesn't give me also mail, calendar and contacts option.
So I'm wondering if there is the possibility to use PUSH MAIL with iPhone 3G and iCloud mail account.
I only found a "manual" configuration that seem to work only for incoming mail, but I didn't understand how to activate push mail notifications.
Thanks and sorry if it was previous posted.

That's a bummer.
Thanks for sharing.

Iphone 3GS and icloud

Hi, I have just updated my iphone 3GS to iO5 and unknown to me it has sent all my music and apps to icloud, and off my phone. Would anyone know how I can get all my music and apps back on to my phone please, without it costing me anything to get them back.

Just wanted to be more clear...i used issues on my subject..actually the sync between my iPhone 3GS and iCloud is not working at all! Thanks for any idea/workaround to share!

My iPad has been stolen, I need some help with the Find my iPhone app and iCloud please

Hello people. I have (had) an iPad 1 (wifi only) - which was stolen two days ago. It's locked with a passcode but I am worried that someone will be able to get into it. I've got the Find app installed on my iPhone 4S and it shows that both my iPad and stolen iPod are offline.
Q - if either the iPad or the iPod goes into an unlocked wifi area, will I be notified on my phone?
Q - can anyone actually break into my iPad as it is locked?
Q - how does iCloud work in terms of the info that's on my iPad - photos etc that I don't want to lose?
Q - I've reported this to the police - does Apple need to know?
I'd be very grateful for any advice, many thanks in advance

Iphone 3gs and icloud lost 2/3 of my contacts for no reason, backed itself up on icloud, now they are gone.

1) I have 3 iphone 3gs phones (2 16gb and 1 8gb) all updated to iOS 5.0.1.
2) I added the 8Gb device to my itunes account and icloud this weekend and then I decided to make another itunes account for that phone and seperate it from the other 2 phones as it is used by another family member who does not need to be connected through icloud to the other 2 phones.
3) When I did this it changed my old itunes account email address to a non-existent email address that was a strange combination of the two email addresses for which I have appleIDs with.
4) I went back to itunes and fixed the appleId email address back to the correct address.
5) Following this ordeal, 2/3 of the contacts vanished from my icloud account and phones. Never to be seen again since icloud does not back-up any contacts but mirrors them.
Therefore, since it backed-up to icloud prior to discovering the problem, I will need to manually recover over 100 contacts. If you need to restore from the iCloud back-up, how do you do it? You can set what you want to back-up and you can delete the back-up but you can not restore from the back-up in any obvious or easy way??? If it simply mirrors this information, then quit calling it a back-up... not true! It would have changed how I set-up my phone in itunes... also, why would any contacts just disappear without notice or anything? Just vanished? I assume when it backed-up to iCloud but it happened on the 2 phones connected to the same iCloud account, because they are synced with iCloud. So I can sync to iCloud and back-up to my computer but then I have to deal with duplicated data on the phones which have limitted memory.
Another issue, a single instance of online support from apple is $29? Enough never to use apple product again. They change the OS so often they should always carry free online support for these changes that are not associated with the purchase date of the phone. Ridiculous! and discouraging... I found the same thing from HP support... If you can't put out a product that works longer than 1 year, then I won't buy your products anymore. Apple has 90 days of complimentary support on products and a 1 year waranty? in this economy that is irresponsible and they have poor engineering if your dependable lifecycle is 1 year. That's all they can guarantee? Based on the average american's income, they expect you to spend a large percentage of this on this kind of technology every year? Figure it out Apple.
Can anyone guide me through the propper way to use this crap without losing data. I have not quite coped with the fact I have lost all of that data. Horrible.
Thanks Apple for making my life more difficult

HT204150 Syncing issues between Iphone 3G and Icloud

I have a IPhone3G which has 127 contacts I go to my Icloud has 61. How do I merge all my contacts from my IPhone to the ICloud and transfer all contacts back so they are indeed synced ?
I want to do this will will all my other devices as well. My wife's Iphone 3G and our Ipad 2. So, I am thinking it would be best to sync all the contacts to the Icloud and edit them there, create groups and load back to the various devices. Sounds simple doesn't it ? I hope!
My desktop is a Lenovo with Windows 7 64 bits.

No - the syncing process for contact info is a bidirectional or true sync process. There is no setting for not transferring or syncing contacts with an email address only. If you don't want these contacts with an email address only on your iPhone, delete the contacts from the address book used by OE.

Please help, my calendar events are missing from iphone, ipad, and icloud that were there last week

I use the calendar on my iphone and I pad for my entire life, including work, everything for my boys and all of my hubbys appointments.
Last Friday was the last time that I inputed appointments into my calendar and everything previous was in there and on my ipad and icloud.
I went in this morning to check an appointment time for something next week and found that 99% of the events that I had scheduled since the beginning of the year are missing. And they are missing from my iphone, my ipad, my icloud, and no longer in my Yahoo calendar.
I am drfinately in a panic, i need these ....
Has anyone had this problem?
Can anyone tell me how to get them back please

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you aren't hiding them.
i.e. on the phone settings > mail, contacts, calendars > calendars > sync.

My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

I have a 16g iPhone 4 and iCloud takes up 5g if I delete that account will my iPad and iPhone still be in sync?

I have a 16g iPhone4 and iCloud takes up 5g if I delete the iCloud account to free up space will my iPad4 and iPhone still be in sync with my calendars, reminders, contacts, photos and so on?........

Deleting an iCloud account on an iOS device just deletes the account on the device, nothing more.

Just got an iPhone 4S and iCloud will not verify my account

I just got an iphone 4S and I am trying to set up icloud with it and my Macbook but it will not verify my email so I am at a loss as to what to do? Any suggestions

What version of iTunes do you have? You must have iTunes 10.7 or later. iTunes 11 is the latest.
If you are using iTunes 11 use the View menu to View Sidebar and then connect your phone. Does it now show up in the left sidebar?

I lost my iPhone 5 and iCloud or find my iPhone isn't on is there any way I can track my iPhone with the serial number or is there any other way ? iCloud or Find My iPhone wasn't installed or on please help

I lost my Black iPhone 5, 2 days ago. Someone stole it. Find my iPhone app wasn't installed, it's not on. Is there any way I can turn on "Find my IPhone" on my phone from my computer or can I track it with the serial number ? Please help.

I guess no but they can't use it because most likely they restored it and the name of your find my iphone will disappear on your computer even if it is on because it does not have your name anymore.

TS4006 My iPhone lost and icloud dont find this. Help me please

Hello. 3 month early my iPhone was grabed. I was in police, they cant find him. Can you help me ?

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).
Most likely, after 3 months, the device has been sold off to someone else.

IPhone 4 and iCloud not working - it was though !

My iPhone 4 has stopped syncing with my Outlook data (and vice versa). iCloud is running on PC ok as I also have an iPad which updates almost instantly.
I have turned the phone off/ performed a restore/done a full reset & erase & restore/a full reset & erase and no restore but all do not get iCloud working on the phone. If I delete the iCloud account from the phone, I just getting the spinning wheel and have to force close the settings app. If I try and turn off a catagory, say contacts, again, spinning wheel. I've even tried a different iCloud account but the same thing happens.
Anyone else encountered this ? I'm on latest IOS

Not sure I'm being of any help here but my iPhone 4 runs okay with iPhoto.. but by girlfriends OS4 iPhone 3GS has started to show the blank squares in iPhoto on 90% of her photos / videos since installing the software.
Also, on a couple of videos she recorded recently the sound just cuts out half way through when playing back on the phone. If skipping through the video the sound comes back.. then goes away again.
Apple, you have made a big booboo in the OS4 update ain't cha?!
