Need to locate stolen iPhone 4
My iPhone 4 was stolen yesterday.the location services were turned off and the battery had nearly died off.
Is there any chance of locating it via iCloud once the thief connects to the net ?
I have the imei number : 0124*****23409
Would appreciate advice on how I can possibly track it
It was stolen by a Chilean tourist who came to my gallery and distracted me by asking for a glass of water
You probably cannot.
If you set up find my iphone on the iphone and it is on and the thief has not restored it, then you may be able to track using icloud.
Otherwise you cannot.
Report it to the police and change your passwords, and alert you carrier.

restore contacts
from stolen iphoneTo locate: go to http://icloud.com, click Find My iPhone and use the Track and/or Lock features.
If you synced your contacts with iCloud, they'll also be on that iCloud page. You can also restore them to a new phone from any recent iCloud or local backup.

TS2446 Need help locating stolen phone
My iphone 4S was stolen today. I've only had a couple of months and had not downloaded any type of tracking app. Is there by chance something automatically installed on the phone that could help me locate it? Thank you.
If you didn't go to Settings>icloud and turn on Find My iPhone, then you are out of luck. If the device did have this service turned on, then using a computer's browser, log into your icloud account at icloud.com and go to the Find My iPHone page to try to track it.

How to locate stolen iphone on airplane mode
Hi. Does anyone know how I can track my iPhone 4S that was left in the taxi and the taxi driver said that he never saw it. It was on airplane mode because I was in Cancun Mexico when this happened. I just had the iPhone for 3 weeks. Does anyone have any clue to how I can locate it? I already tried tracking it thru iCloud but there is no movement from the phone since I lost it. Its either been activated again but there's no way of finding out. Does anyone have any ideas or know how to locate a missing iPhone?
There is no way to locate it.
Sorry. -
how do I activate find my iphone application my iphone is lost
You cannot.
You would have to set up find my iphone on the iphone itself BEFORE it was lost.
Sorry.
If you set up find my iphone on the iphone BEFORE it was lost and it is on, then go to icloud.com. -

Need help locating my stolen iPhone
Apart from the "findmyiphone" application, are there other measures I can take to help locate my stolen iPhone?
Hello alueshima,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone. I think you should look over the information in this article from Apple:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely. -
Tracked stolen iphone with icloud but 911 needs complete address
Recently my iphone 4 s was stolen and was switched off soon after the incident so i could not track it using my icloud account. Accidently when I was trying to located it via icloud, i suddenly saw it online in a town 50 miles from my place. I called my town police as well as the police of the other town where i could locate it. with great difficulty, i could get a stolen report with my town's police but no help from the other town's police to get my iphone back. They need an exact address to go and check - iclould just shows you an intersection and not the exact address. Anyone had luck getting their iphone back in such a situation? how did it happen?
I even sent messages to this person to return it back or i am going to call 911 but no luck
Thx
PremalI believe you can track using MAC address and the right tools and a good idea of general location, which means you need to figure it out quickly. Please see following and tell me if you agree: http://sbranigan.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/tracking-and-recovering-a-stolen-iphon e/
As to police resources. Cell phone theft is so easy and lucrative and there is so little chance that the police will even try to help recover the lost property that it is already the most common crime in the country now and is fueling a huge resale and used parts industry. Once I told the Atlanta Police and Airtran that the phone is locked they can both safely throw their hands up because there is no chance that it will resurface on the iCloud grid.
Live and learn.
I now see that other better apps are out there to better protect my property and help me recover it. It is good to know that neither Apple nor the police will be able to help you unless you really know how to help yourself.
Several European countries have national lost cell phone and computer registries/databases that includes the serial number, IMEI and ICCID/SIM address and MAC address.
To me, it looks like Apple wants no part of helping owners/licensees of Apple products to recover "our" stolen property. It is actually Apple's software, I only have a user license. It is not as lucrative to sell/or preload an "owner" controlled and useful "application license" with helpful instructions versus selling new phones. It is all a big money go round so just
iCloud almost appears to be designed to help ensure that you have to buy a new product that you can then download much of what was lost on the new machine or a stolen machine purchased on ebay, craig's list, etc. Not good in my opinion, but such is life, at times.
At least I can be pretty sure that I do not need to do a remote wipe scrub because to restart they have to wipe out. Thanks for feedback. Very useful! -

Maybe the networks have different services, cause here in Afghanistan I had a ROSHAN network simcard in my iphone, it shows your current location on the map if the map is already downloaded in a limited area, but if the map is not downloaded it shows the current location in a blank page even when I turn off the 3G and cellular services.
That’s what I was using here. Thank you any way.
Have a good time.
