Is it possible to track down my lost iPhone without the "Find my phone"-thing?

I´ve lost my iPhone 5 and I dont have Find my iPhone activated on the phone. Is it possible to track it down without it?

If it is with iOS8: nobody will be able to use it, just a bit of junk. So this might help in having the honest finder to contact you or the police.

How to find a lost iPhone without the find my iPhone app ?

i lost my iphone and need help finding it.However, idont have the find my iphone app

If you enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost, you may be able to locate it on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. If you didn't enable Find My iPhone on it before it was lost, there is no way to track it. You'll have to try calling your number to see if anyone answers or physically look for it.

HOw can i locate a lost iphone without the "find my iphone" app

MY daughter has lost her ipod 4g. I previously was able to locate her via the find my iphone app, however, her ipod no longer shows up on my device list since its been gone. Any suggestions? Or should i just consider it gone forever?

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud set up?

Is there anyway I can track down my stolen iphone without having iCloud. The phone is already stolen.

I'm sorry for your unfortunate situation. This question is asked time and time again - sadly no, you cannot set up "Find my Mac" after it's lost or stolen. The whole point is that you have to set it up before you lose contact with it.
When you get a new Mac, this is one of the first screens you see - "Do you want to set up iCloud to Find My Mac?". I don't understand why anyone would answer "No".
There are third-party location utilities, but again, you have to set them up when the computer is still in your possession. I use Undercover by Orbicule - allows you to locate the computer and take webcam snapshots and keylogs of the person using it. I also have iCloud set up, so I have two options for location should it get lost or stolen.

HT204266 How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?

How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app? I am hoping someone could prove me wrong or give me another solution to getting it back. I have a lot of photos, videos and memories in that phone and I would do anything to get it back. Please help!

"I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app?"
It is not an app. It is a feature of icloud and iphone. Did you set it up on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen? If not, then you cannot track it at all.
Change your passwords and report it to the police.

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

Can apple track down my lost or stolen ipod touch?

is there any way apple can track down my lost or stolen ipod touch?

No, but if you have activated Find my Iphone/ipod on it then you could have a small chance of locating it if it is around alot of wifi hot spots.

If you have an iCloud account (or MobileMe) and had the Find My iPhone app activated, you can go to icloud.com and select the Find My iPhone widget. This will show you the location of the phone.
If you did not have the Find My iPhone turned on, maybe there is something that your carrier can do to triangulate the location, but as far as I know if you had no 3rd party software the only way to track the device is through the Find My iPhone portion of iCloud.

Is there any way that apple can locate/track a lost iPhone? The tracker wasn't set up and switched on.

I lost my IPhone5 and after 7 hours I called lost and stollen and now I can't track where was the last location I left the phone ,and I don't remember if I stablished the FIND MY PHONE app.
Is there any way that I can find the last location that I left it,eventhough I called in lost and stolen and reactivated my # to a different device.

If you didn't set up Find My iPhone or it otherwise does not appear in icloud.com, then there's no way to trace it. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

HT1349 is it possible to track an Iphone4 , without the find my iphone apps

Is this possible to track iphone 4 without find my iphone application

Yes, the "Find my iPhone" app does nothing to help a phone to be locatable - it is for locating another phone from yours.
As long as you setup and activated the Find my iPhone service, the phone has power and a network connection and Location Services is turned on and the phone has not been restored, you should be able to track it.
If not, then you cannot track your phone.
