My iPhone was stolen yesterday and I want to block it so that the thief cannot use it, is it possible?

Is it possible to block my iPhone?

Only carriers can Blacklist phones, so contact your carrier.
Since your phone is running iOS 7.0, it will be useless to whoever has it, as they will not be able to re-activate the phone without knowing your Apple ID/Password. Called Activation Lock.

As far as "Blacklisting" goes, only your carrier can do that, so contact them.

My iPhone was stolen from me. I have an older one that I would like to activate while my insurance claim is processed. Can I do this?

Shouldn't be a problem, call customer service and they should take care of you.

HT201328 My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.

HI my mac is low on memory and i want to erase some apps that i don't use in the iTunes media folder that i have already eraed from itunes
how do i erase them without going one by one checking names???

There is no way to automatically select the unused apps. But, you can go go through your apps library and hold the command key as you select each app you want to delete to get them all at once.

For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
Hope this helped a bit, Sean

Mu ipad was stolen today and i want to view icloud backup for today. Can i do this?

My ipad was stolen today. It is not showing up on iCloud. Can i view iCloud backup for today? If so how?

Try resetting the Winsock key. You will have to locate Command Prompt in Windows 8 (in Windows 7 its in Start>All Programs>Accessories), then right-click on it and choose Run as Administrator.** Once in command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Then restart your PC and see if you can sign in now.
** I saw in another post that to run Command Prompt as an administrator in Windows 8 you do the following:
Go to the Start menu
Press the Windows logo key + Z to open the app commands.
Press Enter to select 'All apps'.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the 'Command Prompt' tile.
Press the Application key to bring up the app commands.
Use the arrow keys to navigate to 'Run as administrator' and press Enter. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

My iphone was working yesterday and this mooring it turned itself off and wont turn back on

my iphone turned itself off and It wont turn back on

Hi that worked for me! I thought it was a battery problem. I knew if I came to the Apple iPhone forum I'd find the answer. Now I've got to find some answers on increasing the battery charge as my phone is dead by 8 PM and I charge it fully every night!

My old iphone was stolen. Can I wipe it remotely if I know the IP address from which someone is trying access my accounts?

I was in Europe last week and was pick pocketed and my iphone 3GS. Now someone is trying to access my gmail account from Romania. I was notified by google and given an IP address from where the attempt is coming from. I have since upgraded my phone, and was only using it as an ipod. For that reason, I didn't have any security settings (no password). But, there's quite a bit of personal things on there (text, tons of pictures, etc) Is there any possible way it could be wiped remotely since I know the IP address where it is located? I also remember setting up a locate my iphone thing some years back, but have never needed to use it (so it seems some of the information needed may not be up to date). Seems like I'm SOL if I don't have icloud or whatever.

Here is a link that explain you the steps http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2701

My iPhone got stollen, is there any way Apple can block it so that those thieves cannot use it?

So someone has stollen my iPhone and I've been told that if I contact Apple and I give them some details about my iPhone that are within the box when I bought they should be able to block the whole phone so it's completely unfunctional ever again. It has been missing for two months, they switched it off because I cannot find it on "Find my iPhone" app, so if I can block it I would happily do so because I bought it free (no contract) and it cost me a lot of money.

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.

My iPhone 5 was stolen yesterday, and I am using a blackberry temporarily until I buy another iPhone or my old one turns up. I am unable to receive or text iPhone users now that I have my blackberry. How do I fix this?

I will be purchasing a new iPhone in the next week or so if my old iPhone doesn't show up, so I don't want to completely delete my stolen phone off of my account just in case someone decides to return it. Is this a problem with apple, blackberry, or my carrier?

You need to contact Apple Support to deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

HT2526 I lost my ipad yesterday and I want to block the ipad

hello I need the help of Apple's technical support team to help me resolve my problem. I lost my ipad yesterday left at atm machine in one of the shopping center in Indonesia. I want the team to perform technical support unblocking my ipad, ipad I know that I will never go back again into my hands again. What information can I give to be able to do the unblocking process to successfully undertaken by the apple technical support team? thank you for your attention and cooperation. I will be good news from you

For info these are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - and Apple cannot block your iPad.
If you had Settings > iCloud > Find My iPad enabled on it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it (if it had iOS 7 on it as your tagline implies then it should be harder to wipe).
If you didn't have Find My iPad enabled on it then you won't be able to try and locate it.
You've reported its loss to the shopping centre and police ? As a precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model then also contact the carrier.

HT201210 my Iphone was working fine and then I plugged it into Itunes for the update and now it says I have to restore to orignal factory settings. I will lose my contacts, photos and anything else I have loaded over the past two years. REALLY?? WHY

This is so frustrating! I plugged my Iphone 4S into my computer to update it via Itunes and now it says I have to restore to factory settings and will lose all of my contacts, photos, and applications I have downloaded. All I was really wanted to do was delete photos that uploaded from my home computer and took up all the space on my phone! GRRRR I hate this

If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My iPhone was stolen yesterday and I want to block it so that the thief cannot use it, is it possible?
