TS2634 Can I remotely wipe my stolen iphone 4 without an iCloud account?

Hi, my iPhone 4 was stolen yesterday on the last day of my Holiday in Ibiza.
It was on the O2 network in the UK, had a 4-digit screen lock on it, but I don't think the wipe after 10 failed password attempts setting was on.
I think iCloud was installed on the phone as I'm sure I saw it listed in the settings on the phone but I haven't got an iCloud account.
Almost certain the Operating System was iOS 5.0.1.
I contacted my network yesterday & had my SIM card blocked & IMEI blocked, so from this I'm quite sure the phone is now unusable, unless they are able to run through as many pass code attempts as they want. (??)
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a way of setting up an iCloud account now & using it to remotely wipe the phone & send messages to it saying that it is stolen, or is this now not a possibility?
Also if it is possible to use a new iCloud account to retrieve my holiday photos/videos (I am assuming this is a long shot)?
I have all my other data in an iTunes back-up to restore to a new iphone when I can eventually afford to buy a new one.
I still have another years monthly payments to pay on my contract, thank you theif.
Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks Lee.

No. iCloud and Find my iPhone need to be on prior to loss.

How can I remotely wipe a stolen iPhone?

I lost my iPhone and I want to either retrieve it or better yet, just wipe the phone. Anyone know where / how I can accomplish this?

Can you backup more than one iphone to the same icloud account?

My wife and I both have iphones and for simplicity's sake have always used the same itunes account and now with IO5 find that our itunes and icloud accounts are the same. Before enabling backup for our iphones we wondered if you can backup two different iphones to the same icloud account? Or will only one of us be able to backup to icloud and the other have to backup locally on our PC?

You can back both up with the same Apple ID (iCloud account). They will be kept as separate and unique backups.

TS4006 Stolen iPhone disappeared from my iCloud Account a day later.

My iPhone5 was stolen, it displayed as "offline" in Find My iPhone and I activated lost mode and selected a message to display. The next day when I checked it did not display in the device list at all - only my macbook air displays. How did my iPhone5 get completely removed from my iCloud account?

Activation Lock will prevent the phone from being re-activated or Find My Phone from being turned off without knowing your Apple ID/Password. If the phone is locked with a passcode, unless the thief can guess your passcode, your data is safe. The phone is effectively useless to whoever has it.
I'd suggest changing your Apple ID password.

How can I delete everything remotely on a stolen Iphone 4

How can I delete everything remotely on a stolen Iphone 4?

Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html and: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
The following conditions ALL have to be met:
1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
2) The device is turned on.
3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad).
4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).
If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
Frankly in the case of a stolen phone this almost never works. Report it to the police. Change passwords on accounts. Tell your carrier to stop service. Go shopping for a new phone.

How can i block my lost stolen iphone 4s with IMEI

Contact your wireless carrier for IMEI blocking. If you did not have a passcode on your
iPhone, immediately change the passwords to all accounts you accessed
while using your iPhone.

Some one else have singed in my iphone with his own icloud account, how can i sign out from it ?

You cannot. This is the new security feature of iOS 7, so stolen iPhones are rendered useless. Go to Apple Store or contact Apple Support for help.

Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

Hello Apple Community,
Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?
For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud). Is this possible?
This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
iphone backup.
Thank you in advance!

Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"? There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
Read references for Home Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
The above can get pretty complicated. You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.
What do you mean 'change the iCloud user name'.
