My iPhone was stolen, If the theif restores the phone will that make the phone untrackable by me?

If the thief removed my sim, restored the phone, and is now using it for themselves does that mean that I will not be able to track it any longer? Am I screwed if this is what has happend?

Yep.

    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.

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • My iphone was stolen, can the thief get into my email if I've contacted my carrier and gotten them to block data etc?

    So immediately after my iphone was stolen, I contacted the police and my cellphone carrier and the carrier cancelled/blocked all incoming/outgoing messages and data. I changed my gmail password that I had associated with my phone, just wondering if the theif can still access my email even though I changed the password?
    Anyother suggestions for when this sort of thing happens?

    They cannot access it if you have changed your password.

  • 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 daughter's iPhone was stolen, is there any way to recover photos that were back-upped to iCloud?

    My daughter's iPhone was stolen. Is there any way to recover photos that she would have backed up to the Cloud? Note, we did not have photoshare running.

    Camera roll photos are included in the backup.  The backup includes:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails

  • My iPhone was stolen and the phone is powered off. Is there anyway to command it to turn on so I can use the "Find my iPhone" app to track the location?

    My iPhone 4S was stolen a few days ago, and I was able to track the location with the "Find my iPhone" app. I had it play a sound which alarmed the thief, so they powered the phone off. They have not turned it on for four days now. Is there any way I can command it to power on or anything my service provider (Verizon) can do? Any suggestions will help! Not sure what they are going to do with it since a) they have not turned it on and b) it has a passcode and won't be able to be unlocked.

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.

  • Hello my iphone was stolen a the person he set up find my iphone and he deactavited it so how do i take his stuff of so i can use my iphone4

    i need my iphone4

    I assume you mean that you had not set up Find my iPhone, because if you had the thief could not have.If it is registered to his Apple ID you are out of luck. If you bought the phone new and have proof of purchase you can take it to an Apple store and they may be able to help you. Otherwise you are out of luck.

  • How do I get back control of my Itunes account? My iphone was stolen and info was changed.

    My iphone was stolen. The thief reset the password on my itunes accounnt, then they changed the DOB, the security question and the recovery email. They also spent my itunes credit buying aps. I know this because I still get email notifications of what is being done with the account. How do I get back control of my account?

    Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They may not be able to do anything other than deactivate the account, but you can discuss it with them.
    Regards.

    1.  this is not Apple customer service, this is just a forum for Apple product users
    2. Apple does not have anything to do with lost or stolen devices - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2526
    3. You need to take this issue to your local police and ask them how to deal with it.

  • 2nd hand iphone being stolen in the transition

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased an iphone from ebay and ship it from US to Hong Kong through the ebay international shipping programme.
    However, when i received the package, there is no phone inside the iphone box.
    Me and the seller suspect that the iphone was stolen during the postage transition.
    All i got now is the iphone box with all the codes and serial no. of the phone.
    Could anyone suggest what can i do to locate the iphone now? or how could i contact apple staff for help?
    thanks

    Apple can't do anything in that case. Here's what you can do besides contacting ebay about that:
    If you have lost or found an Apple product, please contact your local law enforcement agency to report it.
    You can take steps to find your lost or stolen iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac if you've enabled Find My Mac and Find My iPhone apps. Using your Find My apps allows you to put your missing device in Lost Mode, see its location, or erase its data. Other than the Find My iPhone and Find My Mac apps, there is no other Apple service that finds, tracks, or otherwise flags your device for you.
    Learn how to locate Apple product serial numbers.

  • 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 contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • My iphone was stolen. If i buy a new one and to register with the same Apple ID, my photos will be recovered in the new device?

  • HT1414 my iPhone was stolen but I got it back. Now I can not activate it coz i don't have the Apple ID nor the password from the thief. How can i log in my own Apple ID to activate my iPhone?

    Hi,
    My iPhone was stolen before, but luckily i got it back.
    Now i cannot activate it with my own Apple ID because the system kept asking me to enter the previous user's Apple ID (yes, the theif)
    So I cannot use my iPhone now.
    Please kindly tell me what to do and how to do it. I want to use my iPhone with iOS 7!!
    Thank you.

    Doesn't matter. And if they have any property at all, it's worth the $50 filing fee for small claims court in most places.
    If nothing else, filing could force Apple to disclose the email address and other information that was used to activate the stolen phone and lock it, leading to the identity of the thief or someone else involved in the crime.
    For me, it would be well worth the $50 even if all I got was an attachment of future wages. Since i don't have the legal right to just shoot the bastage, it's the next best thing.
