Help me please I want to make sure the thief couldn't open the phone and the apps and the music since it all carries personal information and are very important to me. How do I make sure the phone can no longer be used for anything?
If the carrier blocked it, that just means the SIM card in it can't be used to make calls or access the data network.
A 4 digit passcode can obviously be broken. How easily depends on the code you used and whether the thief knows anything about you. In all likelihood, the thief couldn't care less about your data. They want the phone, which has real monetary value.
Next time, turn on Find my iPhone. -
my iphone was stolen, when i tracked my phone its already offline so without hesitation i deleted it. Is there any other way to track it using serial number? or make the phone good as a dead iphone?
Sorry, there is no way to track your phone. Call your carrier, & if they offer blacklisting, have them blacklist your phone.
Since you're running iOS 7.0. the phone is useless to anyone but you, as it cannot be re-activated without knowing your Apple ID/Password. -

i just set up an apple id acct n i verified the account but when i try to download a app it says my acct isnt verified. how do i fix that?
- To change ID go to Settings>Store and sign out and sign in with the one you want. If you iPod has iOS 5 you may have to also go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the second account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account. -
Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.
Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.
https://www.icloud.com
You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

I had my ipad air stolen and tried using the "find my ipad app" only to realize it won't even track it unless it it hooked to wi-fi! I am sure thieves figure out how to use it even with my pass code on. Is there ANY thing else that can b done to track it? Serial number possibly? Please please anyone with info please help!
No, there is no other way to track it. If you have a pass code set and are using iOS 7.x.x then the thieves simply have a bricked iPhone that is useless to them.
What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer 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:

When going to the gym and launching find my iphone- why does it show 3 different addresses and streets blocks away and then if I move in the building to another area it shows exactly where the phone is?
Because the earth is large and you phone is getting your location from a satellite miles in the sky and you are under a roof.

I was flying back to the UK from Switzerland and in the departures hall my iPhone 4s was stolen.
Long story short, when I got back to the UK (I had to board immediately), I immediately used find my iPad to erase my phone but the phone was switched off so I a message appeared in the app advising that when it came online again it would be wiped. I also called my cell provider (I live in he UK and am with Orange/ EE) the second I landed to bar the SIM and blacklist the phone.
My replacement arrived and my provider instructed me to remove the previous phone from my icloud account immediately which I did.
My question relates to the wiping of the device after removal from my iCloud account:
Now that it's removed will the phone still wipe if it comes online again? Or, now that its removed, is the order to wipe cancelled?
I had an encrypted password keeper on the phone (behind its own password) with, obviously loads of passwords (banking, etc) that I have changed but am a little nervous about as there was a period of a few hours that the thieves may have had time to use if they are savvy enough.
Any help would be appreciated.We'll if the person were to hack it without knowing the password, than he would have to completely restart the phone and all information will be lost if don't the right way. My brother forgot his password for his iPod and I did it the way apple told me to and it completely cleared the iPod so every if they get your phone, they can't txt or call under your name and stuff.., hope this helped! Have a nice day and please let me know if there a any further details and reply this if you figure out how everything goes! Goof luck and have a nice day once again!

If my iPhone3GS was stolen and i do not have a FindMyiPhone or MoblieMe app can i still issue a insurance claim
A warranty and insurance are two different things.
The iPhone one year limited warranty doesn't cover theft.
Apple - Legal

AT&T is your carrier, not an insurance company.
If you have home owner's or renters insurance, then the theft may be covered under that. -

HT204053 My iPhone was stolen,when I try to find it trough my Cloud account, I can't sign in.
message I get when i try to sign in with my apple I.D. is that yes this is a valid apple sign in
but not an iCloud account.
where would i recoup an icloud sign in ?
stuff synked with my Windows 7 note book
Don't understand why I can't connect with the cloud...
W.M.It's possible that the valid apple ID is not the one associated with your icloud account. Or the thief may have been able to get into the phone (did you have a passcode in effect?) and made changes to the account.

My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.
Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
Maybe you are looking for

Fios is available to neighbors, but not my apartment building.
