LOST iPhone: How can I trace it back without preinstall tracking apps?

Hi all,
urgent help needed. I have heaps of important docs and info stored in my iphone and it is lost! I did not back up the phone in my computer so I desperately need them back. I am pretty sure it hasn't being stolen as I had being calling the phone since i lost it and it is still ringing at the other side. if it has being stolen the thief must have switch it off and change a new sim card.
I went to the police, they are hopeless.
I have not installed any apps for tracking on the iphone. All i have is the phone number (which i can still make to the phone, for now at least before the batt die down) and the IMEI no. i get from the box.
I have my gmail and yahoo mail signed in too in the iphone. can i track down my phone through these email services? doubt it though.
Please help!

Not much you can do sorry to say. Anything you could of done relys on you first installing the Find my Phone app and setting it up (which was free).

    Contact your carrier and the police. If it was lost in a specific building, ask the people running it.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.

    You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located.  If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.

  • HT4623 I ACCIDENTLY REMOVED FACETIME FROM MY IPHONE, HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

    I ACCIDENTLY REMOVED FACE TIME FROM MY IPHONE, HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

    It is not possible to have removed FaceTime from your phone. FaceTime is not an app on the phone. First, make sure that it's enabled in Settings>FaceTime>On. Then, to make a FaceTime call, go to a contact and tap the "FaceTime" button.
    Make sure that FaceTime is not turned off in Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.

    Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer?  Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart.  Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
    In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

    I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

    To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

  • I lost all my music on my iphone how can i get it back on my phone

    i payed for all this songs,i lost it through upgrade,how can i get it back to my phone

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • My iphone recently crashed and i had music i had purchased from itunes that i hadnt yet synced to my puter, how can i get it back without having to buy it again???

    My iphone has recently crashed & i had music from itunes i had not yet synced to my computer how do i get it back without having to buy it again, im in Australia so do not yet have icloud

    Unfortunately you can't.  You could try contacting Apple and asking nicely, but they're under no obligation to help you.  If you can wait until fall*, when iCloud is officially launched alongside iOS 5, you can probably download them all again then.
    The small print at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/au/icloud/ says "some music features of iCloud are available in beta now in the U.S. only"
    I can't find anything which guarantees it will work outside the US after the beta, but it probably will.  iTunes Match is definitely US only, for a couple of years at least until the legal stuff is dealt with.
