Will apple be able to locate my stolen phone using my serial number?

No. Apple does not locate stolen iPhones. Report the theft to your wireless
provider and local law enforcement. Change your passwords.
Did you not have Find My iPhone activated? If yes, go to iCloud.com and
log into your account. If your iPhone is powered on and has internet connectivity,
you will be able to see its location; otherwise, you have to search for it
physically.

  • Someone stole my ipod while i was at school. i was wondering if apple is able to locate the stolen ipod through a serial number considering i still have it.  i also have another ipod linked to the same itunes account if that means anything.

    Hi, someone stole my ipod during school. I was hoping that apple would be able to find my ipod through the serial number.  the stolen ipod is linked to the same itunes account as one of my other ipods... if that means anything.  another thing is the passcode was on when it was taken so who ever stole it probably isn't having much luck getting into it. anyways, i would be glad to hear anyone's ideas on how to get it back

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Can I trace back my stolen phone using IMEI/ Serial Number? My phone ran out of battery when it was taken.

    Can I trace back my stolen phone using IMEI/ Serial Number? My phone ran out of battery when it was taken in November 2011 (Barely bought for a month). I didn't manage to activate any application to help me find my iphone back.

    If you know anyone who has an iphone/ipod go on to app store and go on find my iphone. Download is (it should be free) and type your phone number in. It should then come up with a map and show you where your missing iphone is!

  • Can I call or email Apple and ask her to find my stolen iPhone using my serial number?

    A thief recently stole my friend's iPhone 4S and Find my iPhone did not work. We are trying to locate it with serial number, but we can't find any solutions. Can anyone help?

    The serial number will do nothing at all to help you locate your iphone.
    Report it to the police and change your passwords.
    There is no way to track it.
    Like any phone maker, Apple can do nothing at all.

  • Is it possible to locate my stolen iPhone with the Serial Number?

    2 days ago I lost my iPhone 3GS- 16GB in school. I have the serial number. So would it be possible to locate the person if he/she registers on Itunes with my iphone?

    I am trying to return a lost verizon iphone- I found it in a cab on 2/2/2012 in NYC. I called verizon, but they didn't care. Before I turn it into the abyss known as the NYC lost and found (I looked up how it works, doesnt seem very good) I am trying to locate the person by posting on craigslist, itaxinyc and here. Shockingly, people have responded, but none of them have been the right person. If you think you are this person send an email to lost- iphone-nyc   at    hotmail so I can give you my contact info Please describe the picture on the screen and the case in detail or I will not respond to you.

  • If my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?

    if my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?
    i heard apple can upgrade my phone if a pay a specific amount? is this correct?
    also if my phone is out of warranty how much would it cost for it to be replaced?

    Apple does not repair smashed phones.  It will replace the phone with another iPhone 3G as an out of warranty exchange for 199.00 USD. 
    You should check with your carrier to see if you are eligible for a subsidized iPhone 4.   It may cost you the same as the out of warranty replacement for a phone almost 3 generations old.

  • Will Apple be able to replace my itouch?

    My itouch has been blacking out and the home button doesn't work as it should. And the screen is cracked. Will apple be able to give me a replacement?

    Only if you pay them.  The cracked screen voids your warranty.  Also see:

  • Will apple be able to work with AMD also?

    Hi,
    Will apple be able to run on AMD processor chips also when it comes out for intel chips?

    The MacTel will have an Intel processor and another chip intended to limit OS X and Apple software to running only on MacTel machines. How difficult it will be for hackers to break that protection to allow OS X and Apple apps to run on WinTel and WinAMD boxes only time will tell but Apple does not intend to make it easy because they are first and foremost a hardware manufacturer and that is where their profit lies.

  • I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

    I am currently on a plan with my parents, but my two years is up and I am due for an upgrade. My plan was to drop from my parents plan and join my fiancee's. Will I be able to get a discounted phone, and keep my existing number?

    You'll need to do an Assumption of Liability. The parent that is the account owner and your boyfriend will both have to be at the store to do this. Your line is actually your parents and it will be your fiancee's once the change is made. But you should be able to get your upgrade and you definitely get to keep your number. Also depending on your fiancee's credit history there may be a security deposit required.

    If you are referring to the 6G Nano (the one that came out a year ago), then yes.  Download and install the 1.2 firmware update that was released a couple of days ago.
