My iphone was stolen, however its still saved as one of my devices on icloud but its name has changed. Can apple find it?
I left my iphone sitting on the dashboard of a taxi and forgot to lift it. As soon as I got out of the taxi, I remembered so I rang the taxi company to get it for me. I also rang the phone and it was turned off, which is strange as two minutes earlier it was on and it had a 80% battery life so I knew something was strange. Suprise suprise the taxi company never found it. I went on to icloud and put the phone (the device was called jacks iphone) in lost mode and tried to track it but it was offline so I could never find it.
Now several weeks down the line I went back on to icloud and this mysterious device TonkhawiPhone7_ was in my list of devices. Its an iphone 4 as well. So could this be my iphone and the person who now has it has changed the name of the device? It doesn't appear to allow me to put it in lost mode for some reason.
Can apple help me get my iphone back?

Just updated to 8 & now I can not open any web pages as well as firefox will not close out, it still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My ipod was stolen and its not showing up on the find my iphone app... how else can I find it?
Ive tried multiple ways of finding my ipod. The find my iphone app is not even showing my ipod. Not sure if there is any other ways to find it??? I have the serial number and all info for the ipod. Help!
Assuming you had Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings of the device, it will show only if it has a connection to the internet.
What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen -
i am worried some one will be able to see my photos, bank deatails and phone numbers to steal my identity.
i loged into find my iphone last night but the device was switched off straight away i saiod to block the phone and ease it but i am really concerned some one can access my personal informationOnce the device is gone it is too late to protect yourself.
Hopefully your device was setup to auto-lock and had a passcode, otherwise all data is accessible to anyone that picks it up.
Frankly, the most likely scenario is that the device has already been restored as new and is or has been sold for quick cash. -

My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?
Anything is possible.

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

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. -
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? -
My iphone was stolen and my mother gave me her 3GS, however she never updated the soft ware. It is on 3.13 and will not update to IOS 5. Help!
How about the issues with 3.1.3 on the 3GS?
3.1.3 battery problem
OS 3.1.3 battery issues
3.1.3 upgrade - shortened battery life?
Battery life cut after 3.1.3 update on iPhone 3G
3.1.3 Firmware is a battery killer - how do I back out this upgrade?
Some users have problems with any release. iOS 5 is no different, not better, not worse. -
My iPhone was stolen. The thief is still receiving my iMessages.
My iPhone was stolen last week. I did a remote wipe, but the thief is still receiving my iMessages from other friends with iOS5. I would really appreciate any help.
What I've done:
I called Verizon, and they redirected me to Applecare.
I called Applecare, and they said to change my Apple ID password.
I did this and sent my number an iMessage from my friend's phone; it was delivered and read.
I called Applecare again, and they said to get the ID cancelled through iTunes.
I contacted iTunes, and they said that iMessage is not associated with Apple ID, and cancelling my Apple ID will not stop the stolen phone from receiving my iMessages.
I changed my Apple ID email, password, and billing address in hopes that it would do something to disassociate my Apple ID from iMessage. No luck.
I really don't know what to do now. I don't like that my stolen phone is receiving messages from my friends.
P.S. I've also been sending that ******* obscene messages from my friends' phones.Why you did not use Find my iPhone and now you would be able to brake hands to this fu*king bast*rd! haha

my iphone was stolen, when i tracked my phone its already offline so without hesitation i deleted it. Is there any other way to track it using serial number? or make the phone good as a dead iphone?
Sorry, there is no way to track your phone. Call your carrier, & if they offer blacklisting, have them blacklist your phone.
Since you're running iOS 7.0. the phone is useless to anyone but you, as it cannot be re-activated without knowing your Apple ID/Password. -
Dear Sirs,

these are my iphone detail:
IMEI Numbers for Item 000010
Serial Numbers for Item 0010

<Edited By Host>You are not addressing Apple. They would not be able to help you. This is a user to user forum. If the device had not been activated, there is no way to track it. Report the theft to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

My iPhone was stolen, I'm trying to find out if I'm still covered under my apple insurance - how do I do this without knowing serial number
Apple doesn't sell insurance. Maybe your homeowners or renters insurance would cover some of it. Check with your insurance agent.

If my iphone was stolen and it is not turned on and I don't know for sure if I had findmyphone turned on in the settings can I still track it? P.S. it's a Verizon iphone 4
Unfortunately if the device is off or not connected or if FindMyiPhone isn't active you can't.
