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:

Nothing. There is nothing that you or Apple will/can do.

My ipad and laptop were stolen, how can I get my data back?
Both my ipad and laptop were stolen. Ive downloaded itunes onto a new laptop but none of my files are there. I was using iCloud.Can anyone help?
You're music can be downlooaded (if it was purchased using iTunes) have you signed into your account in iTunes on the new laptop?
If the music was not purchased from iTunes and you are using iTunes Match you can also download it. If you are not using iTunes Match music that was not purchased from iTunes is gone. -
My iphone and laptop were stolen!! How do I recover my itunes stuff?
Sorry to bother you guys. A few days ago, my apt was robbed and among the things that were stolen was my iPhone and my laptop!!!
I have renter's insurance thank god and they said they will replace or reimburse me the full cost of anything stolen, so I'm getting a new iPhone and laptop!
My question is, how will I get my apps back onto my new phone. I have 200+ apps (most are free but many were not) and I don't even remember all of them.
Is it a simply a matter of downloading itunes to my desktop, logging in with my user name and password, then connecting my new iPhone to it, with the sim card from att with my phone number on it, and it will work?
Is there any way at all to automatically redownload all the apps I had or do I have to remember them all from memory and redownload them manually one by one?
Are the apps and itunes localized to one specific hardware serial number or something, or will they automatically work on my desktop/new laptop and phone as long as I'm using the same username and password.
Thank you very much.Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. It's your responsibility to make backup copies in case something goes wrong with your system, as I'm guessing happened in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places. If your hard drive was erased and you don't have a backup of your purchased items, and don't have them on an iPod, you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your tracks.
If you have your tracks on an iPod or have them backed up, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. -
I keep on getting download problems from both app store as well as from icloud.
I have tried to reinstall some programs but they keep on failing to download.
I have this problem for both my ipad 2 as well as my iphone 5. I currently live in italy and have checked whether i have problems with local router but everything checks out.
I have tried both resetting iphone and ipad, restarting them both etc but nothing helps. Do you know whether there are any issues with app store or icloud in the last 4days.
Thanks for any help on the matterIn case anyone is having the same problem, I thought I'd post an update. I realized there was an Apple store on my way home from the trip I was leaving for so I decided to stop in. I waited 20 minutes for the next Genius so I wandered the mall and played with the iPad. No big deal. It took less than ten minutes for the person helping me to confirm there was a problem and swap the iPhone for a new one and send me on my way. I got home, connected it to iTunes and restored from the last backup (after uploading the photos I'd taken since then to my Mobileme account!). No problem whatsoever.
I'm really glad I decided to go that route instead of taking it to Verizon.
It's been two months and I've not had a single problem since.

In need of help didn't install find my iPhone on my iPhone 5 and it got stolen from me at a dd's but I had my id and other important stuff in it I need to find it because I can't risk getting my identity stolen what can I do.
You don't have to install the Find My iPhone app - you need to switch the feature on in the settings on the phone.
If you go here: https://www.icloud.com/#find does your phone show up?

My phone was stolen, what can I do to recover? He is off then the app "Find My iPhone" is not working. I'm desperate, because not even finished paying and is ma warranty.
For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet. If not, it is not possible to locate it. Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

Hi! My iPhone was stolen - what can I doing? My Face Time is turn ON, maybe it's better? Who can you help me? Maybe you have an idea? Please - help me. Iphone was stolen in my office (it my client, but I do not know who).
The only way to track your phone is if you had find my iphone installed and activated, then you go to icloud.com log in and track your phone.
If you didn't set it up then there no way to track it.
Not sure what facetime has to do with your stolen phone. -
MY IPOD WAS STOLEN WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT BACK OR BLOCK IT, ALL I HAVE IS THE SERIAL NUMBER AND IS REGISTER IN APPLE BY THE SERIAL
If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Then contact the police, giving them any location information you get.
If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
Regards.

my friend gave me his iphone 4s and the phone is asking me to activate it under my friends apple id and password. my friend and i were wondering what would happen when we activate the iphone 4s? we don't know if it ist going to unlock it so we can use it or if it is going to activate his phone again into the iphone 4s
No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. I had create new apple id, change my password, delete the icloud acc. But still I can not update my apps. I have many of red notifications on iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.
1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.

hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((
It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone. -
Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?
Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?
Contact the carrier in the UK that the phone is locked to and put in an unlock request.
This is the only thing that you can do and the carrier to which the phone is locked to are the only ones that can unlock the phone for you - nobody else can.
Contact the UK carrier. -
