What if you lost your iphone and can't remember the icloud account because the phone was previously your boyfriends?

What if you lost your iPhone 5c and forgot the Apple ID because it was your boyfriends old ID, what then?

I cannot speak for either, but Apple does not get involved in tracing stolen phones.  If "Find my iPhone" cannot be used, there is no other way of tracing the phone. Sorry.

  • APPLE LOST MY IPHONE AND NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE IN APPLE CARE!!!!!!!! wow

    i'm reallllllllly ****** right now,
    i called apple care service by phone (waited 45 minutes to talk to someone in french) to explain that my new iphone 4 had a bad battery. The apple guy aggreed and sent me a box for me to send my iphone back at them for repair. The guy didnt chek my address and sent a box to my old address and a box to my new adress (after correction). In 1 day the box arrived at me and I was really happy with the fast response.
    now begins my nightmare.
    The box was supposed to have the return slip taped to it, but it didnt.
    so i called back apple care (1h07 min wait time to speak to someone in french) and explained the problem to them. they sent me a return slip by email wich I had to go to the local store to get printed out since I dont have a printer.
    I then taped the return slip to the box and called UPS for pickup.
    UPS came and picked-up the box the nex day,
    but then,
    apple sent me 3 email.
    2 of them was cancellation for repair on the 2 first box that they sent me, and the last one was a new repair ID.
    the thing is now, that one of the 2 repair ID they cancelled belongs to the exact number on the box I sent them yesterday.
    so now my Iphone 4 is at the apple place in ontario in a box with a cancelled repair order.
    I tried calling apple care support (1h27 min wait ) but no one answered me.
    now i'm realllllly ******,
    I'm really thinking getting a refund and buyin any other phone when I finaly talk to someone and get my phone back.
    I have alway being a loyal fan (getting an Ipod touche 1st gen costing me 399$ for a 16gig...) and now a broken (and lost) Iphone 4.
    anybody got and idea????
    p.s. sorry about my awful english, im from quebec and speak french...

    Sorry that you're having a bad time but we're just users like you. You're going to have sort things out with Apple. You might have better luck if you have an English speaking friend help you with the call.

  • I changed my Apple ID email and can't access my iCloud account because it's with my old email and I don't know the password.

    I got a new phone and I can't sign into iCloud (it keeps bothering me about it so I wanna just end this). I changed my Apple ID email a while ago and now iCloud won't let me sign in with that email. I do not know my old password for my old email with iCloud. Is there anyway I can just change that email all together without providing a passwod for that stupid old account? I'd love some help because I've been trying to fix it for several hours.

    Here's an updated set of instructions you can try:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    Hey ' I have hAd my iPhone 5s for a year now ' and can't remember my iCloud password ? And can't change it from my phone or the apple website? Phone hasn't been backed up for 32 weeks ? Any help on what I should doo!?

    Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com. Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

  • HT4061 my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

    my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

    Hi there,
    This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
    But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
    In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
    I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
    iTunes Store Support
    You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
    Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
    Nathan

  • HT1766 lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?

    lost my iphone and can't find photos and videos from camera roll on my computer. where are they?
    thanks

    Where did you put them?
    These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you.  You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

    Connect your phone to your syncing computer and run iTunes. Then restore your phone. Hopefully you'll remember your Apple ID and password.

  • How can I back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account without losing any data?

    Hello
    Before Mountain Lion comes out I want to create a new iCloud account because I don't want to use the @me.com email that I created with my current iCloud account. I want to create an entirely new account with a new @me.com email address. I use iCloud to back up my iPhone, iPod and am signed into it on my mac. Basically I want to back up my iPhone and iPod to a new iCloud account and not lose any data. Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks so much for any help.

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    Then back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to the new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • Hi I've just lost my iphone and I don't have Icloud is there anyway to redeem my contacts

    Hi I've just lost my iphone and I don't have Icloud is there anyway to redeem my contacts

    You have a few options...
    1. Hopefully you have done a backup in iTunes which would have stored your contacts
    2. Check the email account that you had on the iPhone.  For instance with Gmail there is a Sync Contacts option on the iPhone which if turned on, would have sent your contacts from your phone to the contacts in your Gmail, so check your email from a computer to see if they are there.
    3. Only other option I can think of is if you have an old phone with contacts still on it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Joe.
    There is nothing stopping you doing so, but you won't be able to sync anything between them.
