Phone stolen and gone from icloud

My sons phone has been stolen - went onto his icloud to show as lost and place pin on phone so it cant be used - iPhone gone from icloud!! Does that mean it has been wiped?

Hi 666prozac,
I am sorry to hear about your son’s iPhone being stolen. It is a very disturbing experience to have something so personal taken from you.
If the iPhone is not showing in Find My iPhone, there are several possibilities, including the one that you mention - it may have been wiped. It also may merely be turned off presently, it also may not be connected to any wifi network.
See this article for more information on how Find My iPhone works -

I would also suggest following the steps in this article -

You need to download the free Find my iPhone application from the App Store.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

Last night as I was setting up the pin I got distracted and entered the wrong one, now I can't access my phone as I don't know what I entered. Is there anyway around this or do I have to wipe my phone and sign in with my Apple ID and restore from icloud??

I can't ask for help on chat as I'm away from home and don't have the box with me, and obviously can't get the serial number in my phone as I've locked myself out!!
Any help will be much appreciated!!

My iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

I've got music on my 4s that I can't get out of my phone. I've deleted it from ITunes and tried to manually and automatically remove (sync) and it won't come out of my phone It's gone from ITunes

Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
You need to put the files into itunes.
Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

TS4108 Hello, all my Contacts from iPhone 5s and also from iCloud disappeared yesterday. Is it possible to get them back? Please Help. Thank you.

Hello,
All my Contacts from iPhone 5s and also from iCloud disappeared yesterday. Can I get them back?
Please Help.

If you begin syncing contacts with iCloud you will be given the option to merge your contacts with the accout. If you do, your contacts will be uploaded to the account and will appear on both your phone and hers (if she is sharing the same account/ID). Be aware that if you do this, if she then deletes your contacts from her device, they will also be deleted from yours and they will be lost. For this reason, it's usually recommended that different users maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, which makes it easier for users to restore contacts from iCloud.

Phone stolen and they changed number so how can I cancel?

Call customer care and have the phone shut off from your account.

My family and I share the same account of apple. I'm getting phone calls and messages from my mothers and my number and vice versa. is there anything we can do

The short solution is to go to Settings > FaceTime > iPhone Cellular Calls OFF.
However, as Csound points out, you should not really be sharing an Apple ID with anyone. See: How to Stop Sharing an Apple ID.

How do I get my contacts and calendars from Icloud to outlook?

I have my mail working fine, but cannot figure how to get my calendars and contacts from icloud to outlook. I am using Outlook 2007 with Windows 7. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Russ

Set up and log in to iCloud on both devices
Settings-iCloud - log in with your Apple ID & password

How can I retrieve my back up documents and apps from icloud?

how can I retrieve my back up documents and apps from icloud?

Apps by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore your iPod from iPod backup it will restore both the documents and apps that were on the iPod when the backup was made. To restore see:
iOS: How to back up

Can't find the set up ipad Need to reboot the system and recover from icloud but not sure how to do this

Not certain how to reboot the ipad. Had some instructions but alas stumped on set up. I have backed up in ICloud but need to get to a "set up"process

You restore from an iCloud backup on the iPad itself. You have to reset the iPad in the settings app. Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. You will then be starting from the beginning - you will be setting the iPad up all over again.
This article explains how to do it.

Hi you can take to Apple Store they may Replace with a Refurbished, one but you will need to pay part of cost. Make an Appointment, if you do get Another iphone when you set it up Just use the same Apple, id & password then you will get all your Apps & Data back. Cheers Brian

How to download photo and songs from iCloud to laptop (windows 7)

Hi,
how do I download photos and songs from icloud to Windows 7.I opend control panel and checked box regards photos then I gave apply but I didn't see any photos in my icloud photos location which is present in my laptop.

There's a long discussion on photo stream issues with PCs here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5356710?start=180&tstart=0 you can look through. Various solutions are offered that work for some people. Perhaps you'll find one that works for you.
Also, photo stream photos do not use your iCloud storage at all, so deleting them will not reduce you storage. If you need to reduce your iCloud storage, there are some suggestion for how to do this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

You should be able to turn on icloud from your computer wirelessly since my mother got her phone stolen and she did not have icloud enabled so we could not track it

if you could make it so when you log in to your account you can turn on icloud on your phone and track it that would be good since it was stolen and we cannot track it

Sorry, if Find My iPhone is not on, there's no way to track, wipe or lock it.
You cannot remote control an iPhone. Just imagine if you can especially some crooks.
