Lost iPhone, didn't have "find my iphone" in iCloud
Hi
I lost my iPhone and (for argument's sake, since i don't remember) if I didn't turn on the "find my iPhone" functionality in "Settings-iCloud", would it be possible to contact Apple and forcibly turn on this feature?
P.S. My iCloud tracking is currently displaying my iPhone was "offline", even thought it is already been put into "lost mode".
Thanks
No, Apple can't do anything. And, even if Find my iPhone was enabled (and it probably was if iCloud "knows" it exists) it won't show up if the battery is dead, the phone is powered off, the phone is in airplane mode, the SIM has been removed, the phone is out of range of a cell tower, the phone has been wrapped in aluminum foil, the phone has been Restored, or the phone has gotten wet.

Stolen iPhone 6
Find my iPhone not activated
But iCloud still shows that it is logged in with my Apple IDIf your phone was stolen an didn't have Find My iPhone turned on the first thing I would do is change your Apple ID password. Immediately after that I would change the password for every app and web account that resides on the iPhone.
When you get your new replacement iPhone make sure that Find My iPhone is turned on and you have a good passcode set up to prevent unauthorized folks from gaining access to your device. -

Lost iphone but dont have find my iphone
what should i do. i lost my phone but dony have find my iphone
All you can do is report the loss and IMEI number to your carrier in the hopes they will block if from the system.
There is nothing anyone can do to help find it. Apple will not get involved. -
Hi . I have forgotten my new passcode on my iphone and also have the find my iphone activated! Is there anything I can do to fix this? I started to restore it on my computer but it won't let me go past the find my iphone activation part. also i am wondering if there is something beginning to go wrong with it as i cannot switch it off and it only gave me one chance with the passcode before it activated? Thanks
sadly you cant, the only option you have is to put into recovery mode and restore device. look for article ht1808 here on apple site

I don't know what this part is about...
Sadly the only way you could get your infomation back is if you had iCloud backups turned on or iTunes Backups, you can possibly restore from them

I have lost my iPhone 4s and i had it turned off when I laid it down somewhere and I have not installed the find my iPhone app. Is ther anyway possible to locate it.
Nope. If you didn't have find my iphone turned on, you will not be able to locate it. File a police report, and contact your carrier.

Ipod lost/stolen and I dont have "find my iphone app"
I lost my ipod touch or it got stolen. However i do not have "find my iphone app" installed. Can i still find and locate it?
Only if you had the FindMyiPod service configured before you lost the device, and it's connected to a working Wi-Fi network, and has not been restored to factory defaults by whoever stole it. If you didn't do that, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You should report the theft to your local authorities and change any and all passwords to accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device immediately. Apple will not do anything to help.

Just lost my iphone didn't download find iphone application, any other way to track
just lost my iphone didn't download find iphone application, any other way to track
No sorry...
I think there are other third-party solutions but if you used none of them, you cannot track the iPhone...
Unfortunately you have to go the old school way and look for it -
Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?
please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?You're welcome. If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup. This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings. You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup. If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream. (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days. Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.) -

If you didn't set up "Find my iPhone" there is no way. Notify your carrier, your insurance company, police, and change any compromised passwords.

Hi Roger
Thank you for your reply.
My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
Thanks is advance.
