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

Can I track a lost iPhone without having set up and turned on the tracker on iclouds?
Would apple be able to locate the lost phone by using the serial number?
Many thanks!

No Apple won't be able to track it.

  • HT201365 What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

    Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
    Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
    E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
    =T20+1
    but also in
    =SUM(T)
    =SUM(20:20)
    =SUM(S19:U22)
    =OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
    =INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
    In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

  • Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes?

    Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes? Also, if another user was to attempt to connect this stolen device to iTunes, would Apple be able to inform of the username of this person in order that I could then pass this information to the police?

  • Is there any way that I can delete photos from my iPhone by using my Mac?

    Is there any way that I can delete photos from my iPhone 4s by using iPhoto on my iMac (Mid 2011) using OS X Yosemite v10.10.2?  It seems it would be much more convenient to use my iMac to delete the photos from my iPhone or iPad, but I can't figure out how to do it.  Thanks for your consideration and help! 

    User Image Capture in your applications folder - it can delete from a connected iPhone

  • HT1267 My home was vandalized several times each time my iphones were stolen is there any way that i can locate these phones by serial numbersfor the police or to assist the police.

    i have all of the serial numbers to my stolen iphones. i just need to locate these phone to help assist in finding out who vandalized my home. or if the columbus police dept contacted apple if the location of my phone could be given based on the serial number and gps. i did have find my iphone app but i never completely activated the app.

    Even in you had Find My iPhone activated it is very easily deactivated and likely any thief does so quickly.  The feature is mostly handy in finding a phone if you're not sure if it is at the office or at home.

    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

  • Is there any way that apple can block an iphone4 from being registered as a new phone after its stolen? I thought it would be possible because all phones have different serial numbers and UUID's...

    My phone was recently stolen. And even if I don't get it back, I want to know that if someone else were to try and register it, that apple wouldn't let them use it.

    No... Some carriers will blacklist phones (I don't believe any in the U.S. will). Make sure you let your carrier know about the theft.

  • Is there any reason that Apple can't support iOS4.3 on the second generation iPod touch?

    I have a number of Apps that can no longer run on my iPod touch second generation because these Apps now requires iOS to be v4.3 or later.  For example, I used to be able to run Skype on this iPod touch, but it failed a couple of weeks ago.  I could not download it from App Store again since it requires v4.3 iOS and Apple does not support v4.3 upgrade on this iPod touch.  The hardware is perfectly fine - I don't see any reason that it cannot support v4.3 upgrade other than Apple wants us to buy newer products.  If that's the case, it leaves a very bad taste on customers' mouth.  How can Apple force their customers to dump what they bought a little over 2 yrs ago because Apple doesn't allow iOS upgrade and customers can no longer run the Apps they need on this device as a result?  There is no way that I am going to buy another Apple product based on this bully behavior!

    I am not sure that I buy that.  Even if that's the case, why can I not continue to run the Apps that used to be supported on v4.2?  I should be able to run the version of Skype App that is compatible with iOS v4.2.  Since Apple controls the App Store content, they should allow those who stay on v4.2 continue to access the Apps that they used to run on v4.2. 
    Becuase App Store continues to push for updates, now it has pushed my iPod to a point of no return as those Apps are no longer supported on v4.2.  I cannot go back to the versions of the Apps that could run on v4.2 - I was happy with Skype (and other Apps) running on my iPod but that version of Skype is no longer available because App Store does not allow that.  It renders my iPod touch useless due to Apple's monopoly control! 
    If anyone knows how to download the older versions of Apps that can run on v4.2, please advise - many thanks!

  • TS1456 My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring

    My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

  • I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can create my own ringtones as I had done in the past? Thank you.

    I am using itunes version11.1.3.8 and an iphone 4s version 7.0.4. Is there any way that I can make my own ringtones? I have always done so in the past (Android). I much prefer to hear my songs when someone calls. Thank you.   

    I have tried to follow all the steps correctly. I presently have on itunes 2 entries:
    1. song.m4r with this highlighted on info screen but song location.m4a on summary screen. I have enetered "OK" several times.
    2. song no suffix on info screen but song location .m4r.mp3 on summary screen
      After syncing I then go a contact and edit it. Trying to change ringtone does not give me an option for the ringtone that I created only those that were preloaded. Is there something that I need to do here? The ringtone (at least one of them) does appear in my song  list and I can play it. I don't know how to check for its properties on the iphone.
    I do not have an itunes created entry on the sidebar for ringtones (I did create a playlist myself).

    You can also make a report to Apple I believe.
    The last time someone reported about that, they said that the police communicated with Apple, not the victim. Whether that was, or is still true, I do not know. The police may be able to tell you when you file the report, but if not, it won't hurt to contact Apple and ask. Good luck to you Karina.

  • I backed up my phone before i went on vacation. I dropped my phone in a pool and now it doesn't work, is there any way that i can get the pictures that I took on vacation off of the phone?

    IF you had icloud backups and Camera Roll turned on in Settings on the wet phone, then you can restore that backup to an iOS device, but not a computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Once you get a replacement phone...
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
    Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

  • HT4623 I got the IOS 7.1 update and I don't like it. Is there any way that I can remove the update and return my software back to the way it was before I got the update?

    I got the IOS 7.1 update and I don't like it. Is there any way that I can remove the update and return my software back to the way it was before I got the update?
    Please, I really wnat to change my phone's sofeware back to IOS 7.0.6. I really don't like the IOS 7.1
    PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE THE IOS 7.1 DRIVES ME INSANE!

    Even though it wasn't me who started this thread i would like to say that i hate iOS 7.1 too
    They're back! The IOS haters.
    When you get a call it has some small icons of reminding and message and one white ugly "slide to answer" bar.*** seriously?
    People complained about the green bar in IOS 7.0.3. You can't please everyone with everything. Deal with it and move on. Or you can just get a Droid phone and suffer through the bizarre interface changes.
    A lot of people would really appreciate a release with the old interface back.
    People complained about every interface change that Apple has tried. As I said earlier, you can't please everyone with everything. The interface is what it is, learn it, deal with it, or move on to something more to your liking. I think they still make flip phones.
