My iPhone was stolen and now I am being threatened to unlock it!

To make it more complicated, I am in England, I had my phone stolen in Amsterdam and now it's in Morroco. Where I'm being emailed by someone with my personal photos, saying if I don't unblock iCloud he will publish all my personal stuff over the web. He is also constantly trying to reset my Apple password.

Unless the photo's are something that would cause embarrassment, I'd tell them to go F&^K themselves. They'll never be able to sell it or use it after you change your Apple ID password. Plus your cell carrier should be able to remote disable the phone as well.
I had an iPhone stolen over a year ago. My carrier is AT&T and they remote disabled the phone as I could not wipe it. Yes, I had Find My iPhone enabled, and I always have a 4 digit pin code. The phone never appeared as online for me to wipe it. So, I just let AT&T remote disable it, and bought a new phone.

This is a legal issue, not a technical issue. You need to talk to a lawyer.

My old iPhone was stolen and now I'm wondering how to transfer songs I'd purchased on my old iPhone to my new one. My iTunes account recognizes the sons I've purchased and I can see them in my purchases history but I don't know how to access them. HELP!

So, when I plugged in my new iPhone to my computer, all my music, info, pictures, etc was uploaded from the last time I had synced my old iPhone that was stolen. I'm happy I didn't lose everything, but I also had purchased at least $30 in music on my old iPhone (NOT through the computer, just off my device) since that last sync. So my problem is, my iTunes account completely realizes I've purchased all that music but it is NO where in my purchased library on my computer or new iPhone (so the whole "just right-click and transfer you purchases" gimmick is a no-go). And when I go to the individual songs I'd bought to try and get them back, all it says is I've already bought the song but won't tell me the NO MAN'S LAND that these songs are hiding in!!
I've looked up a bunch of threads and am still unsuccessful. I know that I should be able to get these purchases back onto my new iPhone and my authorized computer but I just have no idea how. It is becoming increasingly frustrating and I realllly do not want to spend another $30 on stuff I've already bought so anything would be helpful at this point.
Thanks,
Olivia

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

My iphone was stolen and now the find my iphone is disabled on it. i have personal infos on the apps and own music in the music app and i need to make sure they're secured or erased :((( carrier blocked the phone

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 i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contact to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contacts to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone?

If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

My iphone was stolen and called police. Now the ditective needs to know my IMEI number. I need to know the number of the stolen one. How can I get the IMEI number?

Quickest place to look is in the label attached to the box the phone came in.
Not around anymore? Maybe the carrier you used the phone with can facilitate the information. Also, when under contract, the IMEI is listed in the paperwork. Apple, alas, is quite unhelpful with that information.

My phone was stolen and now I am trying to load everything from my Itunes on my Computer. It keeps asking for a passcode? I don't know what they want??

Can you help me get all my previous information from Itunes onto my new IPhone?
My other one was stolen and now I can't transfer my pictures and music. It keeps asking for a passcode? I have tried my apple passcode, my phone code...What does it want?

If iTunes is asking for a password to restore from an iTunes backup, then yes, you did set one up. You must have selected 'Encrypt iPhone Backup' when you created the backup. If you don't remember the password, then you'll have to restore the device as new.

My iphone was stolen and we actually recovered it! Is there a way I can tell what the thief might have looked at in the interim? I know about hitting the home button twice to see recently used apps, but what if they then swiped to close them? TIA

Sorry marcia,
There is no way to tell what activity went on on your device when it was out of your hands.
Sorry,

HT4061 my iphone was stolen and i want the serial ?

my iphone was stolen and i want the serial ?

The serial number is embedded in the iTunes on the computer to which you originally sync'd the iPhone.

My iPhone was stolen and I have the IMEI and serial number. Will I still be able to find it?

My iPhone was stolen and I have the IMEI and serial number. Will I still be able to find it?

Thanks. Yes. But somehow it's already turned off by the thief. I am just hoping he goes to an area with free wifi to transmit the lost phone mode. I'm giving it a few weeks and i hope that the new iOS 7 function will work. That they won't be able to reset my phone without my apple id & password. I just wish I downloaded the app iHound before.
Oh and I called up our national telecommunications commission and they'll be able to disable my phone's function through my IMEI.

My iphone was stolen and i need help please!!

ok, so my iphone was stolen and i want to know if i can transfer my old number to my new iphone without a new contract since i don't have the old sim card nor my old computer with the old iphone's backup, any suggestions?

U should call ATT&T and tell them that ur iPhone was stolen and u need to cancel or block your stolen iPhone account so they cannot use it and transfer the same number to a new iPhone ( or other phone)..

If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

If a new SIM is activated on the same account for the same number, any existing SIMs for that number are deactivated.
Why exactly would you care if the SIM in the missing device still works or not?
