my Iphone stolen
Is it possible to disable it by serial number or Appl co?
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.

how to deactivate my iphone if it is stolen ? but i do not know the serial number neither do i have the box.
I also suggest, if you have enabled geo-localization and have associated an iCloud account to your iPhone, to localize your iPhone through a map on http://www.icloud.com. You may also block your iPhone, send a message to the iPhone and erase all your data.

my ipod was stolen tuesday night and i dont know the serial number i just want it back is there anyone who can give me advice
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

I lost my iphone 4s. Can it be blocked through the serial number?
I lost my iphone 4s. Can it be blocked through the serial number?
My question is this: I know someone else has it. It was tracked through Find my Iphone. How to prevent it from being used ever again? Is there a service that would permanently blocked and unable to be used? Or anyone could just pop a new chip and ready to go? Since the device is registered under my Apple ID, no one else should have access to use my lost device, but me!Sorry to hear about your iPhone 4s, You should contact you service provider and report the iPhone 4s as lost. You should try to erase your data on the iPhone and change your iTunes account as soon as possible.

Macbook pro laptop stolen - any way to find out what the serial number of it was ? I didn't keep a note of it and don't have the original receipt / box.... thanks
The only other way would be through Apple, assuming you bought it at an Apple store or at least registered it. Stop by the store or call their support number.

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. -
If i restored my iphone from being disabled will the serial number change?
I restored my iphone from being disabled. I did not check my serial so im not sure if that happens?
No, the serial number and the IMEI number do not change, they are burned into the firmware and are permanent.

<edited by host>Hello Renvin29,
It sounds like you need to disable your iPhone remotely. I'm sorry to hear about your phone! The only way to do this with is Apple services is if you had Find my iPhone enabled. You have 2 options:
You can use this article to put the phone into Lost Mode and preserve your data on it, but prevent access to it:
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2700
Or you can just erase it remotely outright:
iCloud: Erase your device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2701
You should also take a look at this article for additional info on what to do about this situation:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Sorry to hear that, having things stolen is terrible.
If you haven't done so you may want to talk to Apple support as serial numbers will presumably be identified when a device connects to iTunes, so they may have a way to track these things beyond MobileMe. -
I had a lost/stolen phone:plus coverage how could I get serial number or IMEI number for an iPhone5s
I had trouble trying to get inside the company with out serial number or an IMEI number by which the phone is not in my hand.
#1 would I get an phone for half price of an new one?#2 would I have to get an police report to get another one?(phone)? I had help in moving from one area to another,
Well I ended up with out a phone to my name but lucky that I didn't lose my computer in this task of mine.
Can you answer me?Reduced price Out of Warranty replacement is a replacement - you need to hand in
the iPhone you currently own to qualify. See if you are covered by your homeowners
or tenant insurance.
Yes, you should report your lost/stolen iPhone to the police and to your wireless provider.
Did you have Find my iPhone turned on? Was your iPhone password protected?
