What should I do? 4s got stolen,the other party turn off device.

Iphone 4s got stolen last night.
The other party turn off the device speedy.
Used my ipad mini "find my iPhone" app locked iphone and try to trace the location.
Unfortunately the device turn off all day long.
Is there any other way able to trace back my iPhone?
There's too much important information in my device since is used to be my work asset.
Wonder I can do anything with my IMEI or Serial No ?
Appreciate for the helpful advice!

Hi,
My phone was stolen 3 weeks back and I too had the same issue. Find my iphone was turned off, i don't know how.. I put the phone in lost mode and then erase mode. I brought a new iphone 4s and after 2 weeks, suddenly all of my contacts got disappeared from my iCloud, Mac Contacts, iPhone without any reason. I tried to do a restore iPhone and the contacts came back but disappeared in fraction of second. Used Backup from old data and the same had happened.
Out of no reason I checked with photos and suddenly, I could get the photo of the guy who stole my iphone. I immediately synced that pic to iPhotos. that displayed all info(date, time, camera used, flash on) except the location services.
I logged into iCloud.com to see if the phone got erase. But it still showed erase mode activated. Phone will erase the data once it is connected to internet. But without connection to internet, that guys pics would not have come. I guess there is something about Activation lock to be still active and deactivate which does not work properly.
Any one also had the same issue, please assist.

  • If my phone be stolen the stealer can turn off the phone without security code. Why?

    If my phone be stolen the stealer can turn off the phone without security code. Why?

    Because that's the way it is designed. If you don't like it, don't purchase an iPhone, or tell Apple you don't like it:

  • What should I do if my iPod is trying to turn off for 1hour?

    It all started when I noticed that some of my apps weren't working, since this had happened before I went to the app store>updates and noticed that I'd have to update apps that were updated before. Since this'd happened before I turned off my Ipod and then came the troubles because my iPod still is trying to turn off I mean it just has the circle thing that goes around and around in a circle, and it's been going on for like an hour now. What should I do. Is my ipod defective?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged when I use my apple id. What should I have done to share the apps?

    I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.

    Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
    I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem.

    please help here i just interrupted the process of erasing all content from my ipod it took almost 10 hours then i got worried from waiting i pressed both sleep button and menu button for 10 seconds while in process what should i do?

    After charging the iPod for at least an hour try:
    - Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Connect to computer and restore via iTunes
    - Next see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - Then try DFU mode and a restore.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I formatted the computer without turning off my products what should I do?

    I formatted the computer without turning off my products what should I do?

    Install them all again.
    Sorry, in seriousness, are you worrying about activation of a perpetual license?  Pick up the phone and call Adobe Customer Support.  Explain to them that you've reinstalled everything from scratch after formatting your system, and would like them to make it possible for you to activate Photoshop again.  They'll work their database magic and you should be good to go to activate with your serial number again.
    If you're on the Creative Cloud I don't believe you need to call anyone.  Just log in with your Adobe ID.

  • ITunes is telling me there is something wrong with my iPhone, what should I do? I have the 16GB iPhone 4 and I bought it 2nd hand with no reciept so I cant send it off. What should I do?

    iTunes is telling me there is something wrong with my iPhone, what should I do? I have the 16GB iPhone 4 and I bought it 2nd hand with no reciept so I cant send it off. What should I do? This happens after i updated it and I click sync.

    Can you explain exactly what the message says?
    Do you have its serial number? If you do, type it in the following web page to determine your service and support options:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    If you do cannot find a serial number on the iPhone you can find it stored in your last iTunes backup:
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPad and select Preferences…from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPad's serial number will appear in a popup window.
    For a screenshot read: iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
