Lost my IPhone5-did not have IFind engaged-Can I use my old 3GS for temp use.

Lost my IPhone5 looks like i did not have my find iphone engaged. So no way in tracking the phone are any of those third party apps able to locate my device beside the NSA or apple. who are unwilling
I have my icloud syncronzied with my contacts, is keeping me alive but my mac book pro is out dated is out i dont sync to that.
So my question i still have my oldIpnone 3GS. Can I reactiveate this hardware device to replace my lost one, to keep me temporaly up and going?

if apple tracked devices they would be in big trouble
the phone can always be tracked using the IMEI number and tri connection tower calucations police use this in cases of missing persons they need to present a warrent to get the carriers to track them though
and it's a costly thing so doubt they would do it on account of a stolen phone
you can use your old phone if it's gsm by putting in a sim card from the carrier if it's not gsm but cmda then you should talk to the carrier
you can restore the iphone 3gs with the backup of the newer ios version but you can use the same appleID and access apps tied to it

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Just bought an Apple computer. have imovie. do not have idvd. where can I get the idvd application for imovie.

Just bought an apple computer with a compatible movie camera. using the imovie11 app. that came with computer is a great app. only problem is I can't burn a single project. It say's, share with iDVD, but their is no program called iDVD anywhere. why can't I use iDVD and where can I obtain this program.

I bought an IMac a few weeks ago, created a slideshow on IPhoto only to learn that there was no IDVD to burn it. It is available on ILife11 but if you have just spent a considerable ammount of money on your Mac, why then should you have to spend yet more of your hard earned cash on a DVD burning program, especially when you have 3 of the 5 apps that come with ILife11 already?
I called Apple Support, spoke to an advisor who was understanding but really just tells you that it isn't shipped with Lion OS anymore. You then have to insist, politely, of course, to speak to a senior advisor, (if the advisor himself isn't compassionate enough to suggest that himself).
If you can, request a 'callback' where they call you (they pay the call charges), air your grievances calmly & you should receive a free hard copy of ILife 11. The standard Apple support advisor won't have the authority to grant you anything more than a compassionate ear so you must speak to a senoir advisor. I received my free copy of ILife11 in the post a week later. It worked for me, it has worked for others so it should work for you.
Good luck, keep calm & maintain your creativity!

Why my iphone5s do not have icloud drive feature ?

why my iphone5s do not have icloud drive feature ?

Hey Lucas 8115,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to start using iCloud Drive. Please note that any documents that you've already stored in iCloud are automatically moved to iCloud Drive when you upgrade. This means that devices that are not supported with iCloud Drive may be unable to access your documents (more info):
iCloud Drive FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201104
How do I start using iCloud Drive?
If you currently use iCloud, update all of your devices to the required OS (see above), then go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Upgrade to iCloud Drive. Any documents that you've already stored in iCloud are automatically moved to iCloud Drive when you upgrade.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!

No backup is a huge mistake.
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

I have lost my I Pod. What do I do? Did not have passcode and did notr activate find option.

I have lost my I Pod Touch.
It has no pass code nor did I activate the "find ipod" option.
My major concern is that ability of those who might find it to access my facebook and mail.
If I simply change password on these two sites will that stop someone from accessing my mail and facebook?
I did not have to use a password to access either of these when I accessed through my I Pad.
Thanks for the advice.

Changing the passwords will block the finder from further access to the email, but anything already stored on the evice can be viewed. The goal at this point is to minimize damage by changing the passwords on all accounts so nothing can be done beyond this point.
Maybe you will be lucky and an honest person will find it and look at who owns it from the info on-board and return it to you. There are users on here regularly asking how to find out the owner so the device can be returned.
But protect yourself and change all passwords associated with all accounts on the device.

Report it to police as stolen. No other option.

I lost all of my calender info and did not have the cloud activated. Any ideas on why that happened? Any idea if I can get that back?

I lost all of my calender info and did not have the cloud activated. Any ideas on why that happened? Any idea if I can get that back?

Not sure why this happened, but are you syncing calendar events direct with a supported calendar app on your computer?
If not, calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since this data went missing, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. Do not sync with iTunes before doing so, and do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so when prompted.

I lost an iPad which did not have iCloud or Mobilme installed. Is it possible to find it?

I lost an iPad that did not have iCloud or Mobilme installed. Can it be found?

If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.

After I reset the iPod I lost all of the iPod contents. When I attempted to resynch I learned the iPod did not have enough space. How can this be so when I have nothing on the iPod?

Please help!.

Check if the option "Only sync marked songs" is checked.

HT4528 I lost my I phone 4 but did not have the find my i phone app....is there any way to find my phone without that app or having I-cloud? Seems like Verizon could find it without that app but does anyone have any suggestions??

I lost my I phone but did not have Icloud on it or the find my I phone App...Is there any way to locate the phone without these apps? One would think if location services are on the phone it could be found by GPS from verizon? Any suggestions?

The only way to track is from Find my iPhone. Sorry. All Verizon can do is possibly block it by IMEI so others cannot use it.
