Lost my iphone and the person who stole it turned it off

i was walking to my friends house and had my phone in my pocket. i didnt realize i dropped it on the way there until i arrived to his house (im stupid af ik!). so when i got to his house i used find my iphone through his phone. someone found it and headed to their home. i saw my the device moving throughout the map. the persons location is not far from mine. i tried calling and calling but no one would answer. i played sounds on it and put it on lost mode, prior to which asked to me to put a phone number so the person can contact me in. i placed my dads number and left a message. 2 hours later i check back on it and its still in the same location but this time it appared offline and it said "old location" which means this person has turned off my phone. could this person possibly have restted my phone??? i dont know what to do! its currently appeared offline for 2 hours now and i know for a fact it did not die. the battery was on 100% when i left the house. what can i do?!!?

No if the restore it, it can never be actived because they need to have your apple ID and password to do that. Read http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695

HT201472 Someone stole my iphone and the person who stole it shut it down how can I get it back with out them selling it or jailbreaking it or hackactivate it?

Please help me I need it

You cannot track the phone if it is off. Hopefully you had find my iPhone on and a passcode. The phone will be useless to whomever stole it when he/she tries to erase it and activate it.
Call the police and change your passwords.

I have no idea how to get my ipad back, the cops sort of laughed at me, and the person who stole it broke into all my home accounts what can I do?

I called the police and they told me they were there to escort me off the premisies. The person who stole my iPad was actually helping me buy accessories for yea go ahead and laugh im not happy. I called my carrier and they said there was nothing I could do. I could not use my insurance or upgrde to a new device. They said the could suspend my account until april but that is absolutely ridiculous. Please help

Help you do what? We can't get your iPad back. Do what the provider said, suspend your account. Get a new iPad and sim card then turn your account back on with the new sim card.

Hello,
Go to
https://www.icloud.com/#find
Sign in. Under the "Devices" Tab, if you iPhone isn't listed, Find my iPhone was never set up and there is no way to track it. If it appears, but is shown as offline, it means that it was set-up but is currently not trackable (no wifi connection active). Best of luck.

I had my iphone 4 stolen today, and i have called the network people they blocked my sim and phone. What i want to know is will the person who stole my phone be able to access my stuff, such as my contacts, texts, photos etc??

I really don't think that they have any interest in your data. They most likely plan on wiping the phone in order to sell it.
If they do restore from a backup, they would have to restore in Recovery Mode because it has a passcode on it. But that can't happen anyway because if they synced to a different iTunes library it would not have any of your backups.

Until it's turned on and connected to the Internet you cannot find it.
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:

No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown/shown off, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

Anything is possible.

Who do i contact to get my iphone 4 blacklisted so the person who stole it will not be able to use it

Contact your carrier to see if blacklisting the IMEI is a service they provide.

Just got my ipod stolen and now I have changed all my passwords assigned to that ipod, can the person who stole it see my updated emails?

Just got my ipod stolen and now I have changed all my passwords assigned to that ipod, can the person who stole it still see my updated emails and also can they see my facebook, although I changed the password to that too.

If you changed your facebook password they will not be able to login to your Facebook account.
Of course, other Facebook users may be able to see some of Facebook information depending upon how you have your privacy settings configured.

Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone: I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one is using to find the lost item must have the identical Apple ID, Apple PW, and iCloud PW and username? Otherwise it won't work?

Back now. Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account? Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442? Did that work?

I've lost my iPad. I tried using my friend's computer to locate it but maybe the one who took it turned it off. What can I do?

If you had "Find My iPad" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPad" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
