Stolen phone/changed Apple ID- can I still locate device using old Apple ID password?

My I phone was stolen months ago- I just now realized it was an ex-boyfriend who knew my phone lock pass code. I know it was him as I started receiving photos in my current phones photo stream as both phones shared the same Apple ID. I recently installed find my iPhone but the only device that showed up was my current one. It dawned on me that he has been able to locate my location over the past months as he probably installed find my iphone on my stolen phone ad was able to locate both my current and stolen (one he is using) devices, ergo my location. I changed my Apple ID password to prevent him from doing this anymore, but now am worried I can't locate my stolen device as it will still be operating off my old Apple ID. Is there any way to locate a device with an old/inactive Apple ID password?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you didn't activate Find My Phone before it was taken, it doesn't matter what you do, you won't be able to track it. If you have now changed your password, the person with the phone will no longer be able to track you.

HT201303 How can you tell which devices used the Apple ID? For example: "twoPads, 2 iPhones and 1 computer used your Apple ID ?"

I believe my kid gave somebody my password to download something. And I want to know who? Can it say For example: "2 iPads, 2 iPhones and 1 computer used your Apple ID ?"

Only if they went to the trouble of setting their device up as a "Managed Device" on your ID.
Change your password.

Delete them and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Hi,
I had this problem too. Log out on everything you can be logged on with your apple id. After that log in with your new email and password. Hope it helps!

Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T. When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

HT5429 How can I set back phone settings to go from a searched location in safari to apple maps rather than google directions?

How can I set back phone settings to go from a searched location in safari to apple maps rather than google directions?

Click Here enter destinations, link to page in iWeb or iFrame it by clicking on "Link to Page" from Google map. This may seem ironic but if you are looking for something the best way to find it is by searching Google. For instance Googling "google map directions" will send you to referenced page. for a sub-$20 app I find it hard to believe you find it hard to believe Apple hasn't integrated this feature into the software.
Hope that helps!

If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired

If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired

Yes, but you should consider this.
A: Laptops usually last only about 4 years.
So if you take your investment into the machine + add any software that can't be transferred to a new machine and divide that by 4, you'll get the per year value.
Take that and estimate how many years of value you have left, then judge if the repair is going to be worth getting that remaining few years left or not.
For instance if you have $2800 invested in a machine, that's $700 a year and it's 3 years old, that means it's likely to have only $700 of value left, so it makes little sense to spend a lot to get that remaining $700. Sell it for parts and apply the funds to a new machine.
I suspect you upgraded a older machine to 10.7 and it likely killed it.

Thanks, I read several other threads and all it took was to turn off the router and turn it back on again, 'simples'.
Thanks

HT5312 I can not access purchase anything using my Apple ID because I forget my security question to verify that it's me and forgot my password to my rescue email up change my security question. What do I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

It is a company phone, don't mess with it unless you get authorization from the company. The activation, and I suspect Find My Phone are all tied to the company for a reason. Unless of course you don't value your job.

Iphone 4s uses old apple ID in pop up window when asking to sign in can't find way to change it

When I go to try and download an app on my iphone 4s it asks for my password using old apple ID that is no longer in use. I tried to change this under settings/app store but it keeps using the old apple ID on the pop up window - that means I am not able to download apps on my iphone

Settings>iTunes/app Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now, sign back in with your new ID.

HT201472 I have the app, but my device is turned off. Can I still locate it?

I have the app but my device is turned off. Can I still locate it?

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
