Lost iphone 5 find my phone

I lost my phone and had set up find my phone on it but at the time I lost the data was off and I set up lock code, after I lost I turn on the lost mode, will someone be able to reset the device? will it show on my find my phone if in the future it will be turn on the mode again? Thanks

To locate an iPhone with Find My iPhone enabled on the iPhone requires the iPhone being powered on with an internet connection along with having Location Services enabled also.
The Passcode Lock does not prevent someone from restoring the iPhone with iTunes on anothet computer as a new iPhone.
The additional security features included with iOS 7 to be released this fall will make stealing an iPhone less attractive.

  • HT4623 Is there any way to find a lost iPhone once the phone's battery has expired?

    I have lost my iPhone(4)and the battery is dead. I have the "locate device application", however, I know the battery is dead. To my knowledge, once the battery has expired, it cannot be retrieved using the "lost device/find my device" application.?? Is this correct? If so, is there another way to find this lost iPhone?

    Thanks for taking the time to respond!!
    I didn't think so, but was hoping this was a time, that someone knew something that I didn't.

  • Lost iPhone 4, the phone is switch off, is it possible to get all data back in somehow?

    I have someone stolen my iPhone 4 last night, I tried to use (find my iPhone) app to track where is it, but the thief just switch off the handset, can anyone help with this case? I have passcode for that phone, I don't think he can access the phone at the moment! I do worries he trying to sell it later. I just want to ask is there any way to get all the data back from that phone? I know I can remote control the phone to erase the data thr the app, but some data which is very important to me but I didn't backup recently! Can anyone help, please and thank you very much! 

    I don't think that iphone4 has find my phone app installed!
    The Find My iPhone app is for locating other iOS devices.  The feature doesn't use the app but has to be activated in settings. You were given that option when setting up and activating the phone and had to decline it if t wasn't activated at that time.
    both phone use the same apple ID, will it works on the iphone4 or it will show offline only in my iphone5 app?
    No, tracking doesn't use the Apple ID.

  • Iphone "find my phone" app not recognizing my phone as a device

    The "find my phone" app will recognize my ipad as a device and locates it properly. However it will not find my phone and is not recognized as a device in the setting section. I've already gone into the settings -> icloud -> find my phone section and turned it on and this did not work. I've also tried going on my ipad to find the phone as well as my PC through icloud.com/find and this did not work either.

    You cannot do this without itunes on your computer

  • Lost iPhone , could that phone be used by a new sim , even if the lost mode is activated on Find my iphone

    Lost my iphone4S few days ago , even I have filed a police report with the IMEI code , Later on i signed into icloud ,Find my iPhone shows that it is offline, and all the requested action,lost mode was pending , after some time the phone was switched on for few minutes the phone location got located & even the lost mode got activated but after that i never got any updates from that phone, still my iphone shows it is offline ..so is that possible if somone has restored & a new SIM is installed and activated in my iphone even if the lost mode is activated , if so how could i trace it

    If the phone is restored, it's like a brand new phone software/data-wise. You cannot track it.

  • HT201472 If a I put my lost iPhone into lost lost via find my phone app will it still lock it as it says offline

    Basically I went to put my iPhone 4 into lost mode and it said offline (which means they signed out my apple id ) put I clicked lost mode and anyway will it still lock even if it is offline

    The device will automaticly lock itself once its connected to the internet.

  • How to find my lost iPhone

    How to find my lost iPhone? My phone was stolen last night, I have the serial number, and there is a lot important imfoations in my phone, how can I find it? I gave already report this to the police

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). If you can get a location, you can give that information to the police, who may or may not act on it.
    If you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track it. You've already contacted the police, so the only other thing to do is change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

    My friend has lost his iPhone 5.on find my iPhone when entered id and password app says id is valid but not activated. What should I do to find that lost iPhone

    If Find My Phone has not been activated on the iPhone before being lost there is nothing more that you can do to locate it with iCloud.  The only option is physical search for it.
    If you have an idea of the location, call the iPhone and see if you can hear it ring.

    Please pardon my offense. I do agree it could have been taken badly and sounded a bit too harsh. I apologize. I have also have family and friends who have been, or still are, LEO's.
    I am not saying they are dishonest. But in these economically tough times where electronic devices are reduced to almost less than commodity status there has to be a setting of priorities. Realistally I see the return of a mobile phone to be much less important than following up on paperwork for a robbery or rape.
    There is also the matter of personal responsibility for the individual citizen. I think the individual should take the first initiative whether it's returning property, voting, or protecting themselves. I my opinion the Police and other goverment organizations, are there to assist society, not be its first line of response or resolution.
    I'm glad you pointed out my remarks tonight. It is an indication you were a fine officer, and better still, a fine person looking to help others correct their mistakes. (even while being offended)

  • What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

    Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
    Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
    What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
    Appreciate your cooperation

    Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

  • Why is find my phone tracking a different phone

  • Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

    OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
    1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
    2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
    3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
    4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
    5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
    Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data.  Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen.  I immediately tried to use "find my phone."  As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
    1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
    2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful?  Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone?  Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
    3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up?  IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

    Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:
    1. Find My iPhone is ON and activated.
    2. iPhone has Internet connection.
    3. iPhone is not switched OFF.

  • My iphone is lost. Find my iphone is enabled. Problem is how can anyone who found my iPhone gets connected to wifi, when I had already put my passcode on my phone? In this way, how can I track my phone using Find my iPhone?

    Hello all,
                   My iPhone 4 has been lost recently. I had turned my Find my iPhone enabled and my passcode was also on. Now that I lost my phone, the person who find my phone cannot be tracked in my assumption. Because, he can never get connected to other wifi when unknown passcode is there. So, please tell me any suggestions that helps me find my iPhone or track it.
