You cannot lock it by the serial number. Report it to your carrier and the police. You said that the thief knows your pass code. Does that mean that the thief was a personal friend who would be close enough to you to know what your code was? If that is the case, ask your friend to return your phone.

  • There is 3 of the same app on my dock that won't go away after trying to remove from dock, close app and even delete the app. I can't restart my mac either because it says that the app won't close. Please help!

    The application by the way is a game called Max Payne 3 which I downloaded from Steam by the way.

    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
    Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.
    Wait.
    Application will quit.
    If this does not help, press the power button for 7 or more seconds.
    Computer will shut down.
    Restart.

    my iphone was stolen i want to locked by serial number

    Unless you had Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings, the best you can do is change the password to your Apple ID account and report it to the authorities.

    My iphone was stolen, how do i to block my iphone so can not be reused ? pleas help me. thank you

    Can only be done if your carrier offers blacklisting. Some do, some don't. So, report the loss to your carrier. If your carrier does not offer blacklisting, the phone can be restored & reactivated.
    Apple does not maintain a database of lost/stolen Apple products & will not help you in anyway to locate your phone or block 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 ?

    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.)

  • I have restored my iphone but it has been 2days saying that the activation server is not available. please help me.

    i have restored my iphone but it has been 2days saying that the activation server is not available. please help me.

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to illegally unlock it. Contact the carrier it's locked to and ask about having it legitimately unlocked. If they will not do so, you will not be able to activate that phone.

  • I'm on vacation and my laptop was stolen. Is there a way to find my serial number without the original packaging? I bought those apple classes when I bought the laptop

    I'm on vacation and my laptop was stolen. Is there a way to find my serial number without the original packaging? I bought those apple classes when I bought the laptop.

    Sorry my error. It only shows the computer name not the serial number. Go with "themachead" response copied below:
    In your Apple ID - Profiles:My Products if you filled it out. Not only that you might be able to, via Apple ID & iCloud sign up/in and activate find my Mac. If you have not activated iCloud you can do that too.

  • My iPod Classic was stolen and returned to me by police but now it "cannot be synced because it cannot be written to or read from". I noticed the thief had changed the format to "windows" but I have restored it and still get the same message.

    If the media is in the library then yes it is that simple. Connect the device, load it up with your media. The problem is when you try to connect a full device to a new empty library on a new computer when iTunes will offer to replace the content on the device with that in the local library, i.e. nothing! (For anyone in that position see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device).
    You should be able to add your devices at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ though I'm not sure what happens if the second hand iPod was previously registered.

    You're both synchronizing Safari with iCloud while signed in with the same Apple ID. On one computer, sign out of iCloud in its preference pane and sign in with a different ID.

    2. Apple does not have anything to do with lost or stolen devices - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526

  • My iPhone was stolen how do I get my photos

    My iPhone 4 was stolen how do I get my photos back

    From your backup or from iCloud. If you were not using either and
    the sole source of your photos was on your iPhone, then your photos
    are gone with the iPhone.
