My iPhone got stollen, is there any way Apple can block it so that those thieves cannot use it?

So someone has stollen my iPhone and I've been told that if I contact Apple and I give them some details about my iPhone that are within the box when I bought they should be able to block the whole phone so it's completely unfunctional ever again. It has been missing for two months, they switched it off because I cannot find it on "Find my iPhone" app, so if I can block it I would happily do so because I bought it free (no contract) and it cost me a lot of money.

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.

Is there any way I can block the ipod that somebody stole from me?

Two days ago, somebody broke my frind's car lock and they stole everything was in there, icluding my ipod, I just wanna know if there any possibility to at least block that ipod so they can't use it anymore.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way. Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

My iPhone 4 was stolen is there a way I can block it to stop the stealer from using it?

My phone was stolen the other day. I'm wondering is there a way apple can block the phone to prevent the stealer from using it. I couldn't bare to think someone was using my phone I've paid for

NO apple can't block it.
More then likely the thief will restore your phone and either use it or sell it.

HT1391 Is there a way apple can block an iPod if it's been lost or stolen? It's not connected to iCloud

Is there a way apple can block an iPod when it's not connected to iCloud? If I unregistered it would it wipe the iPod of my details? As my sisters iPod got stolen and is all linked to my account.

No, unless Find My iPod was enabled on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way for you to try and locate and/or remotely wipe it - and that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPod disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Iphone is lost is there any way I can locate the Phone.

Hi All
I lost my Iphone.. I have serial and IMEA number with me.
Is there any way I can track and find my Iphone.

I have read that Mac OS has some feature to track the Iphone without any software ..
Is that correct information ?
That is not correct. The only way to find it is with Find My iPhone, as described earlier.

Is there any way I can view internet pages that can be viewed only with explorer browser?

Hello, there is one site that I visit extremely often for work, but it works only with explorer browser. Is there any way I can open it using y iPad?

If its only for explorer browsers, the company who owns that website doesn't know how to make a website. most of the sites out there now are using HTML5 which is cross-compatible on all browsers.
The reason it needs internet explorer is because it will probably need to use some sort of active x plugin.
I disagree that "the company who owns that website doesn't know how to make a website." You do not know the requirements; technical, contractual, or environmental that led to the design of the web site. There may be a valid reason the site is designed to use IE only. For example, many multimillion dollar government web sites are IE only because of policy, security, or other restrictions.

My friend wants to put music on their iPhone 5C but they do not have a laptop with iTunes that hasn't been associated with another iPhone/iPod. Is there any way they can skip linking their phone to the iTunes and JUST get the music?

The iPhone has not been associated with any iTunes as I was a little scard to connect it to mine as I do not want all my friend's apps on my phone. Also, we use different apple IDs so would we be able to have two apple IDs associated with one computer?
SO CONFUSED.
Please help!

Your friend can get a new Apple Id for themselves, and create a different account on one of the laptops. Then put all their music in a separate iTunes library, and sync the phone to that particular library.
This will keep there music separate from your library and their brother's library.
Just make another User on your computer for your friend to store their music in.

When I upgraded my Mac to Maverick, everything got erased is there any way I can get stuff back? And I also did not choose to set up as a new mac

I had alot of work on my computer from school and after I downloaded maverick I had to force shut down the computer becasue it wasn't loading. After that when i booted it up, EVERYTHING got deleted and is there anyway I could get it back? I'm pretty new to software and stuff, this was a computer less than 3 months old and I don't know much about computers, so it'd be great if anyone could help out!

and that's the reason i haven't upgrading my OS, bcoz I have the same issue I'm affraid that all my third apps lost.

HT204034 Is there any way I can make purchases WITHOUT a credit card by using my credit balance instead?

I Seem to recal a time I could do this and now I'm just confused...

You need to immediately pull credit reports to see what else he has done. Then "freeze" the credit report at all three agencies. That way even you need to lift the freeze to add credit cards or other credit items to your SSN.

Is there any way i can recover a doc that i accidentally deleted without saving

I have lost my homework for mid-term in 5 hrs. Please help me!!!! how do I recover a page I was typing that I accidentlly hit the don't save button?

It's possible that whatever program you were typing it in has an auto-save feature. Since you don't say what version of the OS and what program you are using, we can't tell you whether that is the case or where you might find such an auto-saved document. It's also possible that the auto-saved document was deleted when you chose to not save it.
