Locking iPhone via iCloud

I have sent iPhone 4S via normal Post and it disappeared on its way. Before sending, I cleared every thing including Apple ID. Now i have sent lock request via iCloud but its pending. Will this phone be locked when it connects to internet?

No. There is no way to remotely lock your iPhone or locate it now.

  • Locking iPhone via icloud doesn't work

    I recently lost an iPhone 5. I went on to my iCloud account and locked the handset via the find my iPhone app. I have since discovered that it's of no consequence at all, apparently. My telco informed me that the SIM was replaced and the phone has been used since then to make calls. Hmmm - bit of misinformation I think - not the theft proof device I'd been told about.
    Pity, I really enjoyed the extra performance from the new hardware...for all of three days!

    @diesel vdub - I'm not sure where you read into my post that I expected an app would be digital handset theft prevention system, but, if you've used the app to locate a lost device, you'll notice that you can put a message on the screen, make the device play a very annoying sound and wipe the device. At what point would you assume that the app wasn't intended as a theft deterrent from it's capabilities? Please do go through the motions of using an app before discussing it's features and relevant merits based on your perusal of the marcoms. As someone closer to the trough when the device was first launched, I do have a very good idea of what the internal apps are intended for.
    For the rest of the gentle souls who offered advice, thank you for your compassionate, sympathetic advice.
    The first things I did in order were, reported the theft to the NSW (my state in Australia)Police, reported the IMEI number as belonging to a stolen device with my service providor and made certain they moved it onto the list of stolen iPhones.
    My initial post was to express dismay with the apps shortcomings and to make those operating on my earlier foundation of faith aware, that reliance on the app is, in my expereince, a fruitless exercise.

    Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not. Can anyone help?

    If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

  • Sync only a group on iPhone via iCloud

    On an iPhone 4s, how do I sync only contacts of a group?
    In AddressBook I have "All contacts" and I created a group called "IPhone" and I want to sync only this group in my iPhone via iCloud.
    Is it possible? I don't see any option but maybe there's a workaround somewhere
    iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1, OS X Lion 10.7.2
    Thanks

    Ok, I've figured out what's happened but I don't know how to correct it. This is what I did: when I joined icloud I named the email account eg  [email protected] when I should have used [email protected] could someone please explain how to change it. I have tried to open a new account on icloud called [email protected] but it tells me I have already done that but the emails to that address are not coming to my phone only if I look on my PC. Any suggestions very gratefully received

  • How do I restart locked iphone from icloud?

    How do I restart locked iphone from icloud?

    Hello James,
    It sounds like your iPhone is locked because Lost Mode was enabled.  You can stop Lost Mode using these steps:
    Stop Lost Mode or change your contact info
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
    If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device that’s in Lost Mode.
    Click Lost Mode, then change the information or click Stop Lost Mode.
    Find the full article here:

    If you iPhone is not in Lost Mode, please provide more details of the issue you are experiencing.

  • Can't restore my stuff on iPhone via iCloud backup

    My iPhone was stolen a few weeks ago - and of course I immediatly locked it via Find my iPhone on icloud.com. Now I have a new device, but my iCloud backups are not displayed in the setup process (only pretty old ones from my 3GS). Is this because the old phone is locked?

    Fixed it. I figured out that the "new" phone I bought from a friend was still running iOS5.x and therefore couldn't display iCloud-Backups made with iOS6. I think that's a bug Apple should fix - they should at least display the latest backups when trying to restore and then give the advice to update the OS... But now I'm back on track and happy to have all my data back :-)

  • Syncing calendars across PC, iPad & iPhone via iCloud.

    As the name suggests, I'm a PC.  Everyone keeps telling me to make the leap to apple for a laptop too & then all my devices would work beautufully together.  But it's not an option at the moment.
    I'm really struggling to get my calendar syncing properly via iCloud across a PC, an iPhone & iPad.  I've figured out a few of the problems but the biggie that remains is around meeting invites.  My husband & I send each other meeting requests to ensure that we know what each other is doing.  If he sends me an invite, I can accept it in Outlook on  my PC & it drops into the Outlook default calendar, but it will not appear in the iCloud calendar on Outlook & therefore doesn't appear on my iPhone & iPad.
    If I attempt to send him an invite from iPhone or iPad, he cant even see it properly on his PC/Galaxy/Nexus.
    I have my own IMAP domain & don't want to abandon it for Gmail.

  • Pictures don't upload onto my macbook air from ipad and iphone via icloud

    The pictures I take on Iphone and Ipad often just don't transfer to my macbook air via Icloud. Some do, some don't, its very
    inconsistent - some just never upload.
    Any ideas? I think that all the settings on all machines are correct..! :-)
    thanks,
    Russell

    Hi Russell,
    I'm assuming you have iCloud activated on your Mac. Try signing out & then logging back in on your Mac. Are you using Photostream within iPhoto or Aperture...or both?

  • HT5622 why does Find My iPhone via iCloud on my iMac use Google maps and not Apple maps?

    when I use Find My iPhone through iCloud on my iMac, the app uses Google maps to display locations. Why? Shouldn't it use Apple maps?

    thanks
    I used Apple maps on my iPhone, iPad and iMac and prefer it over Google maps except for street view (which albeit has an annoying, difficult to use interface). In El Salvador, Apple maps was certainly more accurate than Google maps. I like Apple maps turn-by-turn navigation via my Sonata's sound system, quite nice

  • Can I sync my iPad and iPhone via iCloud

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I searched and could not find a solution.
    I, obviously, did not set up iOS5 correctly because I now have two sets of Contacts on my iPhone.  One is called Contacts from my Mac and the other is called from iCloud.  I guess I was confused by being able to sync over Wi-Fi and also being able to sync with iCloud (maybe).  Below is what I'd like to be able to do.  Can I?  If so, how?
    My Mac runs Snow Leopard. ( I rely on too many Apps that run Rosetta to upgrade now.)  My iPhone and iPad have iOS5.  Can I sync my iPhone to my Mac using Wi-Fi?  It seems the answer is yes as long as the iPhone is plugged into a power source and both devices are on the same network.  Does the sync'ing occur in the background or do progress bars show up on the Mac and the iPhone?  Can I use a PowerMat as the power source or must it be receiving power through the doc connector?
    It appears that while I can sync the iPhone to my Mac, I can still back up the iPhone to iCloud.  Is that correct?
    If I do not plan to enter new data on my iPad, can the iPad be set up to receive contact and calendar updates from iCloud. i.e. iPad either pulls updates from iCloud or sync's with the iPhone data that's backed up in iCloud.
    I think what I'm trying to do is have all 3 devices current without installing Lion in my Mac. I recognize that new data on the iPad will not sync to my iPhone, but that's OK.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

    Are iPhone and iPad both use the same Apple ID for iCloud?
    Are they both on Wi-Fi?

  • Can i see my iphoto library from my mac on my iphone via icloud

    I have just upgraded my iCloud storage on my iPhone and selected my photos to be stored on the iCloud, it cleared the albums I had on my iPhone that I put there via iTunes sync, how do I now view these albums  now and also the photos on my mac can I view them  on my iphone
    Regards Neil

    I have just upgraded my iCloud storage on my iPhone
    I take it, you upgraded your iPhone to iOS 8 and enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta)? (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ)
    That will stop all easy ways to get your photos from your Mac to the iPhone, because it disables My Photo Stream from the Mac to other devices, and it disables iTunes Photo Sync. You can no longer upload photos from iTunes.
    What you can do, is use the iCloud web interface ( https://www.icloud.com/#photos ) to upload photos from your Mac or send them by Mail or Shared Photo Stream. You can also browse the photos in your iCloud Photo Library using the Photos.app on https://www.icloud.com/#photos. This will easier, when iCloud Photo Library beta will become available on the Mac with the Photos.app early next year.
