Is it possible to find an iPhone using the series number on the receipt. It was stolen before I even took it out of the box.
Is it possible to locate my new iPhone using the series numbers on the receipt? I never even took it out of the box before it was stolen.
The answer to your question is "no".
Here's what to do for a stolen iPhone:

i had the "find my iphone" app and deleted it and then my ipod was stolen. can my ipod still be located ?
Apple will not track it for you unless with Find my iPod. Again, whether you have the app or not doesn't matter, I believe you still had the service enabled. It doesn't hurt to try. http://icloud.com, click Find my iPhone after you sign in.

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!! -
My MBA was stolen. I need to buy a replacement the next day bec I used it for work. I downloaded the Find iPhone apps and registered my stolen MBA. If I will erase MAC will it also erase the data of my new MBA?
did you turn 'find my mac' ON your MBA BEFORE your it was stolen? if not, you will not be able to do anything to the stolen MBA
if you did turn it on before it was stolen, yes it will erase everything on the MBA -

TS3376 Can I use Find My iPhone using a PC if iTunes is loaded?
Can I use Find My iPhone using a PC if iTunes is loaded?
The iOS application can't be run on a computer. Use the version on Apple's iCloud site.

why can not I find my iPhone using the service iCloud? I write that my phone is not in the network, although in reality it is on the network around the clock! I have an account there!
Try turning Find My iPhone off, then back on.

I signed into icloud to find my iphone. icloud tried to upload my calendar, froze my desktop calendar and then erased it when I unchecked the box. I use time machine. Can I restore my desktop calendar and how do I keep everything but my phone locator and mail off? I do not want to sync my desktop with icloud except for mail.
This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

Some wireless carriers could track your phone. But other than that, only other way is find my iphone. I know at&t can track, but i believe you have to subscribe to something. Think its called Family Track

Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down! Anyone has suggestions / info?
You should shut down all the apps running in the background and then reset your phone. Double tap the home button to open the multitasking drawer (iOS 6.X) or the multitasking screen (iOS 7.X) if you are on iOS 6.X press and hold one of the app icons and wait for the icon's to start to jiggle, just like when you want to delete an app. Tap the little x that appears in the upper corner of the icons. Repeat until all the icons are gone.
If you are on iOS 7.X once the multitasking screen is open swipe up on all the app images until they are all closed. Tap on the home screen to close.
Then press and hold both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time and wait for the Apple logo to appear then release both buttons. The phone will restart itself.
If this doesn't help try doing a Reset All Settings reset, you will not lose any data or content or media. But you will have to reset any setting you turned on or off in Settings. This will reset all settings back to factory default. Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings. -
Help! My iPhone 4 was stolen, and it is in iOS 7, will the phone still be used? Or if they reformat it, my files would be deleted? I hope all my files will be deleted. Thanks for your help.
Hey ChrisJ4203, thanks for answering buddy , I still have a question.
I have a passcode for my iPhone, but I don't have the application Find my iPhone. Can I retrieve my photos, notes, reminders and all other data in my iPhone, I mean, if I bought another one, and connect it to my computer and go to iTunes then restore backup, cause I backup my iPhone last Oct 10, 2013, will I recover all the details in my iPhone that was stolen? It's like I'm still using my old iPhone's apps but with a new iPhone. Thanks.

My iPhone 4 cellphone was stolen last year. I have done all the procedures of reporting it to the South African Police Services and my Vodacom service provider. I do have the case number and I did blacklist my stolen phone. I have not had any assistance. I had installed Find My iPhone but did not have any iCloud account on it (ie. iCloud Username and Password). So I am unable to track it or find its location as yet. Please help me find my iPhone 4.
Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

I am very sure I have " find my iPod" on my iPod device but , it's not coming up when I try to look for it in the radar?! Unfortunately my iPod was stolen at school. Any help
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

My carrier said the record of my iphone displayed it was stolen and locked(couldn't call out)
I bought this iphone from Irish official Apple website .
But I used a SIM card(vodafone IE) , it couldn't allow me to call out but I can access the internet and receive calling in .
I asked the carrier , it said it is not vodafone's problems. It was your iphone's problems.
He said my ihpone 5s was stolen ? But I bought it from offcial Apple website . And I had a receipt .
Someone could tell me how should I do ?
Thanks so muchI would return the phone and purchase a new one. Make sure that the phone has no problems before leaving the store. Sounds to me like the store wasn't really an "official Apple website."

My iphone 3gs was stolen.. i don't know what is the next step??
my iphone was bought in USA. i'm living in colombia and i was using my iphone here when a thief robbed me of all my money and my iphone.now the thief has my iphone. i don't knot what is the company where was bought.. here i have the serial number, imei, ECID(Dec), ECID (Hex).
But i don't know how put the iphone in order to the thief can't use; can you help me ??
thanks for all.thanks for each one..
i have the last one question.. i don't understand why when i report my iphone they don't put the imei.. for example when you report a nokia, blackberry, or whatever; the thief can't use the cell phone because the company report the imei then the cell phone can't use with other sim card because the imei was reported.
not is the same case for the iphone ???
the only thing that i wish is that the thief can't use my cellphone with other sim card only as ipod touch.. i don't hope that the iphone come back to me.
thanks for your answers
