Once a Itouch is found and locked by ICloud can it be unlocked by the person who has "Stolen" it?

They can reset it to factory condition. Lockin prevents them accessing your data: but they can effectively wipe the device clean and it's then usable and untraceable.

    My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and  followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
    Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

    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.

    i have lost my iphone 5. The person who has my phone right now is still using my game center id to play one of my game that i have in that phone named "Clash of Clan". Could you guys help me to sign out this icloud's ID and game center's ID from that phone for me, or anyone knows how to do this, please mail back to me. Id : "[email protected]" Thanks.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • I paid $20 to upgrade my iPod touch and it didn't go through for me. The person who assisted me said that if it didn't work out that I would get my $20 posted back into my credit card. Prior to this service I made a purchase from the iTunes Store.

    I paid $20 to a person from the apple customer support line to have my iPod touch upgraded but it never went down. The representative who assisted me said that I would have those $20 posted back into my Visa card if it didn't go through. The service never got to happen and failed. Prior to this I made a purchase from the iTunes Store for $7.00, which they never billed me. So until I pay for the previous iTunes purchase, I am not allowed to download any applications. This is the reason why I need the $20 back from the separate request I made with apple which never worked out. Cause as soon as I pay for the previous iTunes purchase that I made apart from apple, then I could once again start to download and install applications. I have a week already without downloading apps. Please refund my money back a.s.a.p.

    Not sure what this is all about...

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • I lost my ipod and need to delete my icloud so the person who has it dosnt use it

    i lost my ipod and someone has it and i want to know how to delete your icloud account and if that is enought to make sure the dont use any of my stuff i have already changed my passwords is that enought????????????? please help if u can

    you can use find my iphone to erase the content off your ipod, if whoever has your ipod has it connected to an internet connection and hasent already wiped it. and changing your password should be enough to keep him from accessing it on there, but he will still be able to see emails and music, notes, stuff like that thats on the ipod if you dont have it password protected.

  • HT201365 the person who has my iphone4 knows my passcode, is there any way i can change it remotely or re-lock it without erasing it

    The person who has my iphone4 knows my passcode is there anyway i can re-set it remotely as i don't want to loose anything

    Unfortunately, no.  Using Find My iPhone to put it in lost mode will not change a passcode that has already been set on a device.

  • My Ipad has been stolen...I've purchase a new one and when trying to restore a previous back up, the system showed me a different Apple ID. Can it be the ID of the one who has my Ipad ?

    My Ipad has been stolen at home.
    I've purchase a new one and when trying to restore a backup from I cloud the Ipad showed me a different Apple ID than mine and refused my Apple ID.
    Can it be this ID (which is an email adress) is the email of the one having my stolen IPAD ?
    THANKS
    Olivier

    The appleid its showing you is associated with one of the apps / songs or another purchase that was on the device the last time it was backed up which it needs to download the app / purchase again. It won't be from the person who has your ipad now unless they downloaded it and then your device was backed up afterwords, so only if the backup date was listed as AFTER your device was lost / stolen.
    Thanks

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

    found an locked iphone5c, how can i get the owners info, email or anything if he/she only says "pls. bring back my phone.. godbless" on the activation menu??

    Try using Siri and ask "Who's phone is this?" It should give you the name, number, and email address of the owner. Also, you can try swiping to unlock, select Emergency, then see if they have a Medical ID set up. If they do, they may have the name of a contact with a phone number listed.

  • Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resourc

    Everytime I open Safari on my MacBook Pro a pop-up window from my Finder menu, with the Applications highlighted on the left in the favorites column with the Resources folder highlighted comes up and locks my Safari page until I manually close the Resources window then I have to refresh the internet search address line at the top of Safari. Can someone tell me how to stop this. It started after a software upgrade. It didn’t do that before. Thank you.

    A few thoughts for diagnosis/testing purposes:
    Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? If not do so.
    Boot into the Safe mode - hold down shift key on boot - and see if the problems are still there. Some functions won't work but see if anything odd happens.
    Check your startup items. Get rid of them temporarily.
    Create a new user account and see if the problems occur with the new account.
    Lastly, be sure your backup is up-to-date.

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown/shown off, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I have a sign of a little lock on the top of my iPhone 4 screen and therefore I am not able to hear from the people who call me unless that I switch the speaker on. What should I do

    I have a sign of a little lock on the top of my iPhone 4 screen and therefore I am not able to hear from the people who call me unless that I switch the speaker on. What should I do

    The little lock has nothing to do with speaker volume.  It means you have locked the rotation on your iPhone.
    Have you tried using the volume control on the side of the iPhone to raise the volume when someone calls?
