Jun 17, 8: Could you actually tell us these particular websites or sources that you're talking about and not just giving us these options to use them? I'm sorry if this sounds rude, and I'm sorry if this isn't the brightest question in the world. I'm only having a bit of trouble finding these websites is all.

Jun 18, 7: Despite the previous poster's claims to certain professional creditials, she is incorrect in most of what she's saying about finding lost phones. I think that explains the lack of useful specifics. If you did not activate some sort of tracking service before the phone was lost, you are, for all practical purposes, out of luck.
Apple will not assist you in finding your lost phone, regardless of how many different ID numbers it has. Law enforcement could supoena all sorts of records from your carrier that might enable them to find your phone if it was still turned on and connected. However, it is unlikely that they would do so as the cost would far outweigh the value of the phone. Jul 6, 7: I'm having the same problem. I was on vacation for July 4th and left my phone in a bathroom on Tuesday and it was gone when I went back there.
I didn't have Find My iPhone activated. I called the phone periodically throughout the day and sent a text message to it offering a reward to whoever has it. I have a lock code on the phone so they can't get into it but tried calling it since they could answer without unlocking it, but they haven't.
Now the phone is dead, goes straight to voicemail. I contacted both Verizon and Apple, who like the other posts have said are unwilling to help me. I am hesitant to suspend service to the phone since then I can't contact the person who found it if they are able to turn it on.
It wasn't stolen so I don't think the person has malicious intentions. Being a holiday weekend I won't give up hope for a few more days. I've tried different tracking apps but they say that I have to activate or give permission from my phone in order to use them which I can't do. The phone itself is unimportant to me. However, every picture I have ever taken of my nine month old daughter since she was born are on there and I am desperate to get them back.
I have no copies and no way that I know of to retrieve them. I never connected the phone to my computer so I have no backup. I bought an iPad mini earlier this year and had photo stream set up with the cloud so I have all the photos taken from the point I got the iPad but nothing from before that. I didn't know about the Mountain Lion software upgrade for my Macbook Pro where iPhoto can do photo stream so I don't have that either.
I am not that tech savy, but am willing to hire someone who can successfully track it for me. Any help is greatfully appreciated. Jul 6, 8: You are the only one who can track your iPhone or retrieve your pictures. It's not a question of unwillingness on the part of Apple or Verizon. It's your choice to enable the features, and your job to use them. You may have left your phone in the bathroom, but you should also recognize that it probably has been stolen As far as your photos go, the ones you have on your Photo Stream are safe for the nonce, but you would be well advised to either set up your iCloud account on your Mac and turn it on there.
You can set it up now, and any pictures currently in your Photo Stream will show up in a Photo Stream folder in iPhoto automatically. You can also save your Photo Stream pictures to the Camera Roll on your iPad and then sync it to your Mac so that those photos get imported to iPhoto. Best practice going forward would be to get iCloud set up on your Mac with Photo Stream turned on, and then to regularly go into the Photo Stream folder on your Mac which will show up as soon as you get iCloud and Photo Stream set up on the Mac , and move the oldest ones into an Album.
I have noticed that my Photo Streams automatically get saved to an Event in iPhoto once a month, but if you take more than pictures a month, then you want to manually get them saved off. Also, back up your iPhoto library to an External Hard Drive.

Johnathan Burger Johnathan Burger. Mac OS X Speciality level out of ten: If you did not install and activate find my iphone, you can not track it. How can i find it. I look at the cctv. Hi Ismail, You probably won't be able to find the phone if you weren't using iCloud, you'll need the "Find my Phone" service activated as part of iCloud in order to do so. It would also have meant that your phone would be locked to anyone trying to restore it, but seeing as you've said iCloud wasn't enabled on the phone then it will probably have been reset to factory by now.
You must have used some sort of Apple ID for the phone to work at all, so I suggest you login at iCloud.
How to Find Your iPhone Even If It’s Dead (with & without Find My iPhone)
In order to block the phone and make it useless to a thief you'll need to contact your carrier network and ask them to block the phone. You may need the IMEI for this, or your phone company may already have a record or, if you still have the phone box or receipt it will be printed on it. When you get a new iPhone make sure you enable iCloud and Find my iPhone! I have lost my iphone 5 while riding i have not logged in to icloud and i have not turned oned Find my phone nw how to track??
I tried to look at the "activation Lock status" and it says it's off. Although i have my passcode and apple ID signed in there, Is there any chance that they can use my phone and all my data are still there? Are you sure you didn't activate it? I'm pretty certain Find My Phone is enabled by default when you login to iCloud, so if you were using iCloud then there's a good chance you have enabled tracking too.
Have you tried logging in at iCloud. If you find it I suggest you approach law enforcement with this information. Failing that, contact your carrier and get the IMEI blacklisted. The phone will be added to stolen database, and many carriers will refuse service.
Use Find My iPhone & other ways to track a lost iPhone, AirPods or iPad
Even if the perpetrators can get around Apple's protections, the phone will be virtually useless without being able to reliably access the cellular network. I have my name and number on the back of the phone and whoever found it could have called me. I went to the place and pasted messages for a reward if my phone is returned but no calls after two days. Now "Find my Phone" shows it offline. Meanwhile, the iphone6 I ordered to replace it just arrived.
If I activate my new phone for the same phone number but still leaving my old phone in "Lost Mode", will "Find my phone" continue keeping track of the old phone? Been keeping track of it using my ipad. Will activating my new phone make my old phone become usable to whoever has it? I would appreciate any comments. I would appreciate hearing from anyone.

For as long as your old phone remains locked to your iCloud account according to Apple that's a permanent fixture until you remove it, which requires your password then it will continue to be tracked. That is how it's supposed to work. There are a few black market methods used by thieves to try and circumvent this, but I'm not sure if they actually work or not. So you should definitely activate your new phone, it will show up as " 's iPhone 6". Your old phone will continue to be tracked for as long as it has battery and a connection to the Internet.
Is there a way to lock or wipe out all the info if there was no password OR find my iPad?
