I have lost my I-Phone. Is there a way to wipe it even though I can not find it?
I have lost my I-Phone. Is there a way to wipe it clean on line without access to the phone itself?
Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html and: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
Note that these features require you have the "Find My" activated before you lose the device, the device be turned on and able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad), and not having been restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it). If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
Frankly in the case of a stolen phone this almost never works. Report it to the police. Change passwords on accounts. Tell your carrier to stop service. Go shopping for a new phone.

Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??
ThanksWhether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier. You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan. Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 5 and I have this synced with my previous iCloud account. My problem is my old iPhone 4 is taking up 2.5 GB of space in the cloud. Is there a way to delete this iphone from the icloud so I can free up space as it is not needed anymore?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage...... -
Is there a way to sync an iphone to a computer that has a new hard drive without losing all the songs, apps, contacts, etc? The computer has iTunes downloaded, but no device has ever been synched to it. Sorry if this has been posted before, but if anyone could point me to the steps that I need to take it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your quick response...we don't have a copy of the old computer...Hard drive died one morning, I now have learned the hard way that what we did was really dumb, and am backing everything up . We were told that if we synched it with a computer that didn't have a library yet it would be ok?
The procedures that I have been able to get online:
1. Go to Itunes library without phone connected
2. disable automatic synching for iphone
3. Connect iphone, back up
4. then synch

Is there a way to find my iPhone 4s if I did not download the find my iPhone app?
Is there a way to find my iPhone 4s if I did not install the find my iPhone app?
The app has nothing to do with this. The app allows someone to locate their iOS device with your iOS device.
Now, what if he had the app installed, and someone else did too, by what you're saying, he could then track his iPhone using theirs.
So the app actually has some bearing, not much, but it's there. I was merely stating that without either the app, or iCloud, then no, he cannot track it. But he can use iCloud because he possibly has Find My iPhone activated.
Now, why don't we both be good little children, shake hands, wander off, and try to help some people rather than argue with eachother for no apparent reason? -

There are no free ones that I'm aware of.

Are you still running iOS 7 bet?. If so go to the private developer section for help. We cannot help you here with beta software.

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
