IPhone was stolen, I was tracking it with the police then signal stopped, so the phone must be off, I have cancelled my contract so I don't get any charges, if someone has managed to whip the phone and are now calling it their own can i still track it?

I was tracking my stolen phone, then the phone must have been switched off, it says on icloud that the phone is offline, i have cancelled my sim card so i dont get any charges, my phone had a passcode on it, if someone whipes the phone and tries to use it them selves can i still track the phone with icloud? also will icloud show me the location of the phone the moment someone tries to charge it(even though it wont get signal) or will icloud work if someone connects it to a computer?
Thanks

if the thief is experienced and wipes the phone you're out of luck.  this is a flaw with 'find my iphone' whats the point of it, if someone can just simply wipe the phone? lame. keep sending mesages to it.  if/when they finally get through then you'll get an email saying so. then immediately after getting an email, track it again, its likely still powered on and you can locate it.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Under the settings messages SMS/MMS there is no option to turn on/off group chats. As a result I don't get any group texts. Help!

    Group chat so I don't get any group texts.

    The setting to turn that on or off does not affect your receiving group texts. Are these group texts from a non-iDevice? Do you have MMS turned on? Many group texts are turned into MMS by some carriers.

  • TS4006 my ipad was stolen while on vacation in mexico. when i try to use icloud to find it it says i have no devices set up on icloud. is there any other way to track it? also is there any way to cancel a remote wipe?

    i need help. i am currently in mexico city. i was staying at my cousins house  and yesterday when we got back for going to museums we saw that the apt had been broken into and everything taken including my ipad. i have it set up with icloud so i tried to find it but it told me that the service was unavailable at the moment. since i have a lot of personal information on my ipad i chose to remote wipe it.  i havent receivec a confirmation email so i believe it hasnt been done yet. but now when i go on icloud.com it says i dont have any devices set up. is there anyway to cancel the remote wipe and find the ipad? i have it password protected so im afraid that whoever stole it might have tried to figure out the password and ereased everything. i would really apretiate any information that might help me recover my ipad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, instructions to remotely wipe cannot be cancelled.

    Not from Apple, but if your carrier subsidizes the cost of the iPhone and you are eligible for an upgrade price with a new phone.

    If your iPod was purchased with a credit card, check with the card company.  Some cards provide Purchase Protection insurance which will replace or repair any item lost, stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • My iphone 4 got stolen, can i still track it with moblie me if they restore my iphone?  or is IMEL help?, my iphone 4 got stolen, can i still track it with moblie me if they restore my iphone?  or is IMEL help?

    my iphone 4 got stolen, can i track it with moblie me? if they restore my iphone   can i still track it?
    it is really important to me

    If you signed up for Find my iPhone you should be able to track it, unless the thief has turned the phone off or removed the SIM card. Also, if the thief has restored the phone it will no longer work. Log into www.iCloud.com and see if you can see the device. If not, then there is nothing you can do but notify the police and change all of the passwords on things you had on the device. Sorry for your loss.

  • Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

    Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.  It gets weirder:
    When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top,  if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
    I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
    "If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
    I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.

  • Okay how can I tell if someone has installed spyware on my phone or if they have accessed your phone records or history from another location

    I think someone has been going thru my phone or accessing my information from a different location other than in my phone itself is there anyway to tell if someone has installed spyware or accessed any of my information on my phone or from another location or from the phone itself

    The only way someone can install spyware on your iPhone is by hacking/jailbreaking the iPhone followed by installing the spyware from an unofficial source other than from the iTunes Store. This would require having physical access with the iPhone and a computer. Has someone had access to your iPhone with a computer without your knowledge?
    Someone could have access to your iMessages and iCloud photostream with another iOS device and with a Mac that supports iMessage (a PC could have access to your iCloud Photo Stream, not iMessages) if they know your iCloud account password and/or Apple ID password if your iCloud account and Apple ID are different.
    If someone has had access to your iPhone with a computer without your knowledge, you can always restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup. If you think someone has access to your iCloud account, you can change the password for the account along with your security questions and answers.
