My iphone was stolen. how can i block my iphone?

is it possible to block a stolen iphone?

I'm sorry to hear that Mary.
First of all, report it stolen to your local police department. Tell them your phone's Serial Number.
Second, contact Apple's Lost Prevention department. Tell them your phone's Serial Number.
Let your carrier know.
If you have iCloud and have enabled Find My iPhone,  if your phone is on and your Apple ID still loaded into the phone, you can go to iCloud.com and locate it.
Do not go after it yourself. Let your local police department know.
If Find My iPHone does not find your phone, either it is turned off or has been erased. If so, it won't find it.
If the phone is merely turned off, and you are certain it is gone forever, from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com you can click on the blue circled and remotely wipe your data. When the phone gets turned on, you will get an email saying the wipe has been done. If your data is already erased, there isn't anything you can do other than steps 1-3.
Again, I'm sorry.
Good luck

    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 , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?

    Hi , my iphone was stolen how can I find it , I didn't  activate ( find my iphone ) but I have the iPhone serial number ?
    please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?

    You're welcome.  If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
    First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup.  This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings.  You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup.  If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.  This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream.  (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days.  Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.)

  • My iphone was stolen, how can I download the photos from icloud to my pc?

    Hi,
    After my iphone got stolen last saturday I've tried to download the photos from the icloud to my pc and it didn't work.
    What can I do to gat the photos and my whatsupp backup?

    You cannot access Photo Stream from iCloud.com.
    Photo Stream is a sync tool, not a backup solution.
    You can get the last 30 days of photos from your Photo Stream by installing and signing into iCloud Contol Panel.
    To get your Whatsapp and Camera Roll data you will need to restore it from your backup to another iOS device.

  • My Iphone was stolen, how can i get it back through support?

    any help how to get my stolen Iphone back through support or web site

    You do not.
    Apple is not law enforcement or a private investigator.
    If you enabled the "Find My iPhone" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, you may be able to track it via iCloud.com.
    If you did not enable this feature, there is nothing that can be done.
    Contact your carrier and law enforcement.

  • My iphone was stolen how do i get the iphone blocked with the IMEI number

    how to get an iphone locked with the imei number?

    Ask your carrier as it varies from country to country.  In the USA, I don't believe any carrier maintains blacklisted IMEI numbers.  All they will do is cancel the account associated with that number, but they won't track and/or block that number.

    whoever found my iphone and if he/shee took pictures i can able to see it on my facebook? PLEASE iphone community. I really need your help.
    I already used Find my Iphone app but i cannot track it because it is offline.

    The only way to track an iPhone is if you turned on Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud before it was lost, then login to your iCloud account, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.  To show up it must be turned on and connected to the internet.
    If the iPhone did not have protections invoked and someone found/stole it and restored to factory condition, and then activated with a different number, there is no way to track or find it.
    If it has been stolen or lost you can report that to your carrier and see if they offer blacklisting...that will block it from ever being activated by another person.

  • My iphone was stolen, how do i to block my iphone so can not be reused ?

    My iphone was stolen, how do i to block my iphone so can not be reused ? pleas help me. thank you

    Can only be done if your carrier offers blacklisting. Some do, some don't. So, report the loss to your carrier. If your carrier does not offer blacklisting, the phone can be restored & reactivated.
    Apple does not maintain a database of lost/stolen Apple products & will not help you in anyway to locate your phone or block it.

  • How can I block my Iphone 4 he was stolen?

    Pleassssssssssseee, can somebody help me?
    My Iphone was stolen, I want to block him, so any body can't use him again.

    If you delete the phone (remove from account) activation lock will be turned off, and the OP will no longer be able to track it. Should the OP wish to ERASE phone that will do just that but the activation lock will be active but it won't be able to be tracked. Lost mode will lock the phone with a remote lock.
