Lost iPhone with no service

My son has lost his iPhone. He tells me it is turned off. Is there a way to see it's last location before it was turned off? Or any other way to find it?

If he enabled find my iphone in settings>icloud before he lost it then he may be able to locate it when it is on. Follow the article below:

Note: If Find My iPhone can’t locate this device, the last known location is displayed for up to 24 hours,

HT204266 How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?

How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app? I am hoping someone could prove me wrong or give me another solution to getting it back. I have a lot of photos, videos and memories in that phone and I would do anything to get it back. Please help!

"I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app?"
It is not an app. It is a feature of icloud and iphone. Did you set it up on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen? If not, then you cannot track it at all.
Change your passwords and report it to the police.

HT4623 I turned my Iphone 4 off. QWhen I went to turn it back on, it brought me to a silver screen that reads Iphone with no service, what does this mean? And no, my service has not been cancelled. please help?

If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Will iphone with no service work with tom tom?

My brother is wondering if he can buy a gps app like tom tom or navigon and use it on his iphone that no longer has service (he cancelled at&t due to the poor service where he lives)
I understand that these programs use the gps signal but don't use the cellular network. Would this work?
Thanks!

If he has a 3G or 3GS, yes. Cellular reception/internet access is not required to use a turn by turn GPS navigation app such as TomTom or Navigon since the maps data with the apps is stored locally on the iPhone, and the GPS receiver can work independently.
In order to install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, the no longer activated SIM card needs to be inserted in the iPhone when doing so - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when the iPhone was activated.

Used iPhone with suspended service showing lost or stolen...HELP!

I purchased a used Iphone 4 a couple days ago. The seller still had his service active so I figured I could just call and switch it on over to my account.... Evidently it doesn't work like that. So I contacted him and he said he would take care of it. So today he says he called and suspended the service. When I called Verizon they said it is showing lost or stolen.
If you don't register another (junk) phone on the number before you suspend service will the iphone show as lost or stolen... or would he have had to have called and done this?

The phone would have to be totally off his account. He should not sell a still active phone on his account.
Verizons activation computer must have realized the phone meid was already on another account and name.
He must totally remove the iphone from his account and must call to state the phone is not lost or stolen.
Some folks have put these phones out for sale on Craigs List, or ebay etc. then report them lost or stolen to get the money and in some cases their phones back. I must tell you to buy from a dealer and no private sales.
Get your money back and buy one from the store.
Good Luck

Has anyone found their lost Iphone with Icloud succefully?

I recently had my Iphone stolen and my Icloud picked it up for a breif moment in front of someones house. I am from Illinois and it was stolen in Wisc. I had a friend go the house but it was a little old lady. Im pretty sure she did not live alone but my friend did felt a little uncomfortable even going to the door for me. When I continue to go on to Icloud it says my phone is offline but as of today I have been able to call it and it rings until my voicemail picks up. Before it would go to voicemail. Am I correct that there is a chance the sim card is still intact? I did put a lock on the phone so they are not able to access the phone except if they call the number provided by the "This phone is Lost" app I was able to us from Icloud. I am just looking for a little bit of hope that the phone could still be retrieved or brought online somehow before I completely give up home and have it erased. Any success stories or advice anyone has. I did call the police and have yet to get intouch with an officer to file a report but did get feed back that they could not go to the house without a warrent.

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Best way to sync iphone with published service?

All of my photos end up in one large group, instead of in the albums I created in LR4. I have a pub service setup for my HDD (called "iphone"). I then created a published folder set called "Albums". I then created published folders which would be my album names (people, nature, animals, etc.). So I publish that, then go into iTunes and choose a specific folder for photos--the "iPhone" folder I created first in LR. Isn't this supposed to create albums on my iPhone? Instead of just one big folder called "iPhone"? How do you sync your photos from LR to your iDevice? BTW--I'm using a PC, Windows 7.

I assume your problem is more down to Apple than Adobe.
The best I have read about it is at Jeffrey Friedl: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/crop-for-ipad
http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/ipad-howto
It works for iPhone as well.
Jeffrey has digged into what Apple allows for synching and how to best cope with it.
I have tried his plugin with LR4b so far, with best results.

Lost iPhone with screen lock.

I lost my iPhone 5 with screen lock. Im 99% sure that I had set screenlock security & that if password was punched in wrong 10 times it would erase all data. What are the chances?. Should I still be concern about changing my app paswords such as (Facebook, IG, Snapchat, Yahoo, GMail, etc.) My wireless network said I can erase all data on my phone using iCloud, but not sure how...This is the first time i lose my iPhone. Need advice.

If you lost the iPhone without having turned on Find My Phone, the iPhone can be cleansed and used. If Find My Phone was on, then it cannot be broken. Tha said it is still a very good idea to change your passwords associated with accounts on your iPhone.

Lost iPhone with Find my iPhone installed

I lost my iPhone but had the Find my iPhone app installed on it. However, when I go to iCloud to find it, my phone isn't listed on the devices. Is there any way to find it now? Thanks for your help!

The find my iPhone app has nothing to do with finding the iPhone on which it is installed.
The app simply allows you to find your other iOS devices from your iPhone.
You would have had to turn on the the built in find my iPhone feature in settings on your iPhone, in order to be able to locate it. No app needed.

Verizon iphone with japanese service plan

Is it possible to use an iphone 4s that has been previously activated with Verizon with a Japanese service plan?
I'm thinking about buying an iphone but, I maybe living in Japan in the near future. Considering the cost of the device I would like to be able to utilize it to it's fullest while in Japan. But I certainly won't keep my Verizon account active while over seas. I need to know if i can use the same phone in the US before I leave and when I get there I'll be able to activate it with Japanese provider.

I don't believe you can get around this, legitimately or not. That's one of the biggest faults of using a CDMA carrier.
I imagine the person you spoke to at Verizon didn't know what they were talking about, since it would be physically impossible to bring a CDMA iPhone to their network. Sprint in the only other US CDMA carrier and they won't unlock an iPhone, so Verizon could not set it up on their network. They don't have the legal right to circumvent the lock to Sprint. Likewise, the CDMA side of a 4S purchase unlocked is completely disabled, so they would not be able to activate it on their network anyway.
As for them unlocking the phone, all they can unlock is the SIM slot, which will allow you to use a local GSM network IF there is NOT a CDMA network present. If there is a CDMA network present, it will ALWAYS use CDMA and you will pay Verizon international roaming charges. If you cancel your Verizon account, the phone will be shut down entirely. CDMA and GSM.
Your only real options are buy a phone in Japan with the realization that you will have to sell it when you're ready to come back to the States, or buy an unlocked phone and take it with you to use a local SIM while in Japan and AT&T when at home.

To find the lost iPhone with discharged battery?

I lost my iphone! The app "find your iphone" localized my iphone but just for one time because after the first location the iphone battery was discharged.
So I can't find my iphone anymore, but is there another way to find out the smartphone (maybe with serial number) ?

If the battery is dead or the phone is off how would using the serial number of the phone help your find it?

How to unlock a lost iPhone with an unknown iCloud details?

I found an iPhone 5.
On the screen it asked me to write iCloud email and password.
It alslo had the number of the contact person. My tries to contact her were spent in vein.
What can I do now?
Thanks in advanced!

Nothing. The device was lost and locked. There is no way for you to unlock it without the previous owner. Turn it into local law enforcement and have them contact the previous owner. With Activation Lock, you will never be able to use the phone, and it does not belong to you anyway.

Lost iphone with no internet

hi i lost my iphone and it doesnt have internet on it. it has find my iphone and i cloud on it, is there any way i can track it or can apple track it.

To track it through iCloud Find my iPhone the phone needs to be connected to the internet. The same is true for putting it in lost mode and erasing it. When you say it had no internet, do you mean it was on airplane mode or with both cellular data and wifi turned off? If this is so, and you had a passcode lock and the setting to disallow the control center when locked, it is going to be very difficult for whoever finds your iPhone to get it back online so that it can be tracked.
Apple does not track iPhones and neither do most carriers. I hope you end up finding it by looking for it. Report it to the police, though. Perhaps they could track it through its imei number.
