Tracking my lost iphone

Is there any other way to track an iphone without downloading an app that does so? My iphone was stolen and i never downloaded such an app. There must be another way to track it.

My iphone disappeared (stolen, I think) yesterday. It has OS5. I've tried to track it using Lost my iphone and Icloud, which will locate my ipad but it says the iphone is off line. I locked the phone last night and have been sending messages to it via the app regarding how to return it. I know someone used it after it disappeared as I went into my ATT account to review usage. Someone sent an image via medianet two hours after it disappeared, before I locked it. (of course, it can take ATT days to fully update usage on the account)
I've tried going into mobile me and icloud to read or see the message that was sent or to identify who it was sent to and have not been able to find where this data is backed up.
I need to know:
where can I find texts/media back up in icloud?
Can I use GPS to find the phone? I am supposed to be notified by email whenever the phone is turned on or it is connects to the internet but I have received no emails.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I track my lost  iphone

    My boyfriend lost his new iphone 5 can it be tracked?

    This is a bad sign... you should get rid of him fast.
    If he cannot keep track of something as simple as an iPhone, how could he ever possibly be expected to keep track of children?    Run away from him as fast as possible.

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch 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, especially your Apple ID/iCloud password NOW!
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting &amp; they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, & Find My Phone turned on/activated, then phone cannot be re-activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • How can i track my lost iphone 4s ?

    i lost my iphone 4s in a club
    and  i got lots of pictures  and videos on my iphone
    and  i need all my contacts in there
    is there any way to find it ?
    i tried icloud but its always offline
    and i lost my iphone 4 too
    it has no sim card in there i only use that for playing music  and playing games
    anyone can help me find my two iphones?
    and i cant get a new one because those two iphones is still under contract in my carrier SOFTBANK here in Japan

    If Find my Phone wasn't activated in your phones, you can't track them.  If FMP WAS activated, all the thief has to do is turn the phone off or remove the SIM and you lose the ability to track the phone.
    Unfortunately, sounds like your phones are gone for good.  Sounds like if you lost 2 phones, you should really reconsider whether or not you should be owning such expensive phones in the first place.

  • Track a lost iphone

    I lost my iphone yesterday. Can it be tracked if it has been restored?

    Not through an apple service. You have to be logged into iCloud and have find my iphone turned on.
    Then you would go to icloud.com and use the find my iphone feature to locate it.
