TS4006 I have lost my iphone, i rang my service provider who deactivated my sim. Id requested an erase of my iphone on icloud but the device is offline & erase still pending. If someone was to put there sim in my phone when they connect to the net will it
I have lost my iphone. I rang my service provider who deactivated my sim card as I am on a contract. I logged into icloud and my device is appearing offline however i requested the erase iphone feature.. which is still pending. My question is how safe is my information... If someobody was to put there sim into my iphone would it delete my info as soon as they got signal? I luckily had a security code activated when the phone is switched on this must be entered and when the phone locks. Any help would be appreciated.
The erase will be executed if it ever goes back online with Find My iPhone still enabled on the phone, whether that's via wifi or 3G. The good news is that if you set a passcode on the phone before it was lost your data is safe even if the remote erase command isn't executed. The only way someone would be able to use the phone without the passcode is to force it into recovery mode (which erases all data) and restore it as a new iPhone.

i am able to see my ipod touch 5th geneneration in find my iphone on icloud but it is showing offline.... i think its stolen but i have locked it with a passcode and the person who i suspect doesnt know it... i wana get it back what should i do??

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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can) -
I filed for a case and my One-Year warranty is still available until Jne 2014 , somehow the description in the case is mixed up and says it was cracked or dropped, but the real reason is the Audio goes out on my iPhone 5 after the iOS 7.1 update every 20 minutes and I have to restart it. I talked to apple support and they told me my warranty will cover the audio issue, but it still doesn't say that in the repair description. How can I see that? or will they already know? Apple has told me that they will, but I don't want it to be mixed up and me have to pay for something and it not being my fault.
Besides checking the support status assuming you filed the case with your Apple ID, there is nothing more you can do. Nobody here knows that as nobody here works for Apple. We are users like you. Apple does not monitor this forum. You will have to contact Apple support for the information if you cannot get it the way I described.

If anyone has any advice or information I would be very grateful. It appears that the Sim "holder" is too small for my Sim card used in the IPhone 3.
You should get a new micro-SIM from T-Mobile. It is possible to cut down a standard SIM, but often that leads to erratic behavior or destruction of the SIM.

Hi Team, I have lost my iphone 5c and at the time it was off due to battery. Up to now I haven't been able to locate it using Find my iphone app... Please help me with ideas.
Sorry, there is no magic way to find it. You will need to search for it, as you would with any other object.

Someone else has put a password on my phone. I have read all the restoring or backing up methods but when I go to do those it says to turn off find my iPhone in my setting. If I cant unlock my phone I obviously can't turn this off. Help
If you have a lock code, how did someone change the apple ID for "find my phone?" You should go by the apple store and let them help you.

I have lost my iphone 3. I have placed it in Lost Mode however it is only showing my last location at 7 pm last night. How can i see the last 24 hours? it is in Grey so not on..
Find My iPhone only keeps a history of locations after you put it in lost mode. It also has to be online to provide an updated location.

Hi team,
I have lost my iphone 5S one week back. Find My iphone was enabled immediately. It also had a passcode to open the phone. immediately after loosing the phone I have turned it into lost mode. Also disabled my SIM. Form that moment it shows has offline. Yesterday someone called me and said my phone has been brought by his friend for $350 dollars. If I pay him the money he will return it. The guy called me not on the number is put while enabling the lost mode. He called me on my number which I used in the lost phone. How did he manage to get my SIM number. Will he be able to access my contacts, Photos, and other apps. Please need some help... Still the phone is showing on the icloud. Will he be able to use the phone....Hello bjosephdubai,
If he is a hacker or a computer genius, he will have access to your data. But I don't think so...
If he doesn't know your passcode he won't be able to get into your personal files.
Hope your iPhone will return back to you,

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.

I need any help i can get, im having trouble with the app find my iphone. I have lost my iphone, checked on the computer, and somehow, took it away so how do i get it back??If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

Hello, how can i get my photos,videos,and contacts of my iphone transfer to my pc. As i have lost my iphone 4
If you don't have your iPhone anymore, you can't access the data on it remotely.
However, if you are syncing to iCloud, you can set up iCloud syncing on your computer and at least get your contact info.
iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
