My iphone 4 was stolen. One week later appears new apple id in find my iphone. Is it from thief? What can I do?
My iphone 4 got stolen two weeks ago. It was off because of down battery therefore i could not track it by app find my iphone but i immediately blocked it and report to police. The remote block of the iphone remained pending for one week (I learnt phone has to be on for such an action to be completed) and then I received email from app find my iphone that my phone was finally blocked. I check in app find my iphone to see if i could located and there the surprise! Instead of MY apple ID appears a new one! Does it mean somebody reset my iphone? What can I do knowing this apple ID? Please help! I forgot unfortunately location service has been disactivated.
Thank you for your reply, I checked the status of my apple id and nothing has changed. My iphone was off when it got stolen and short after I sent remote lock by find my iphone. Maybe somebody connected to itunes and tried to do a set up using his own apple id? I would like to understand what's goin on and if this apple id can lead us to the thieve! Thanks anyway for your help

Stolen iPhone 6
Find my iPhone not activated
But iCloud still shows that it is logged in with my Apple IDIf your phone was stolen an didn't have Find My iPhone turned on the first thing I would do is change your Apple ID password. Immediately after that I would change the password for every app and web account that resides on the iPhone.
When you get your new replacement iPhone make sure that Find My iPhone is turned on and you have a good passcode set up to prevent unauthorized folks from gaining access to your device. -

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:

My brother got his iphone 4s stolen a week or two ago, he didnt have the iphone finder installed at the time. The phone company just gave him a new phone progammed with the same number is there any way of tracking his old phone? If this is relevant whenever i call him and hes on the phone the phone connects to someone else answering machine.
IF he set up find my ip[hone on the ihone itself BEFORE it was stolen ( there is no app, it is a setting) AND it is on AND it has jot been restored, then you may be able to track it using icloud/find my iphone.
Otherwise, there is no way to track it. -
Please help! My iphone was stolen so did restore on new phone and LOST!
Hello fellow iphone users! Please help me. I was on vacation, my iphone was stolen. So decided to buy a new iphone wile on vacation. Couldn't sync/restore my info till i got back home to my computer. So while I was still on vacation I continued to use the new phone and take pictures and videos. So when I got home and restored from a previous back up, it erased ALL MY newest/latest video and pics that I had just taken. Does anyone know if there is a way for me to get those new pics/videos back? They were of great value to me and would be an awful way to end my vacation after my phone got stolen. Thank you all in advance for any guidance you can provide.
When there are photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
When you chose to transfer the backup for your iPhone that was stolen to your new iPhone, all data on your new iPhone that is included with the backup (which includes photos/videos in the Camera Roll) was replaced by the backup for your iPhone that was stolen. It doesn't merge this data on a new iPhone, it replaces it. Transferring the backup of an existing or former iPhone to a new iPhone is designed to be done as the first step after getting a new iPhone. If not and the iPhone is used for a period of time before doing so, photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as the first step as with any other digital camera before transferring a backup for a previous iPhone to the new iPhone.
The photos/videos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are now gone. -
I don't understand why Austin Police are not doing to detain theft when I showed an location with valid address according Find my iPhone on icloud.com. They said that it might be wrong location but few blocks were correct location. I stopped at Apple Retail Store to get another unlocked iphone. I explained an employee whether they would add both IMEI and serial number into blacklist to make useless for anyone. They said they have nothing to doing.
I'm shocked today that IMEI number is still not added into blacklist. Serialnumber of my stolen iphone is already on another Apple ID, after restoring it.
They let me down because unlocked iphone is EXPENSIVE, it costs $800 in Canada.
How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone backWhat blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency. -
i am worried some one will be able to see my photos, bank deatails and phone numbers to steal my identity.
i loged into find my iphone last night but the device was switched off straight away i saiod to block the phone and ease it but i am really concerned some one can access my personal informationOnce the device is gone it is too late to protect yourself.
Hopefully your device was setup to auto-lock and had a passcode, otherwise all data is accessible to anyone that picks it up.
Frankly, the most likely scenario is that the device has already been restored as new and is or has been sold for quick cash. -
My iPad was stolen yesterday. I cannot track it while using find my iPhone is saying is off.
My iPad was stolen at the house yesterday. I have reported the matter to law enforcement. I have tried to track it using find my iPhone from my iPhone and it shows that the iPad is off. My work and important documents are there. Anyone who can assist on how I can trace it?
You cannot trace it if it is offline.
Hopefully you have a passcode on your iPad and you have backups of these documents. -
Please help me!
Now i am worry about that the request will diable Find My Iphone. Will that happen?
Yes, unfortunately, that is what will happen. -
