I lost my iPhone after I checked it in find my phone it shows that the device is offline.   I want to know it means that the phone is 100% switched off or find my iPhone was not kept on in my iPhone [because I don't remeber correctly it was on or not]   Does find my iPhone works on International Mobile Equipment identity number or Subscriber Identity Module?

My phone was stolen last night. I made sure it was in Lost Mode in iCloud and it was immediately in Offline status when I open iCloud. I am positive the thief switched it off. Now I am 100% certain the Find my iPhone option was turned on on my iPhone, but will the "Lost Mode" be of any help if it was not turned on on the iPhone? Would it be showing "Offline" if I did not turn on the option?

I accidently set my husbands new iPhone 6 up under my back up. Now, when I receive texts he receives them too. Its making it appear that I have two phones. We share an iCloud account. Can I do a complete "erase all content and settings" to fix his phone? It won't deactivate his phone with Sprint?

I returned a MacBook to Apple Store, however apparently I forgot to sign out of iCloud and the latest tabs I was browsing still appear in Safari iCloud Tabs of my new MacBook and existing iPad.  I removed the device from icloud.com -> Find My iPhone but it didn't work. Tabs list from my old computer is still there and I am trying to remove it from my devices list. I appreciate any ideas.

After the screen was replaced on my iPhone 4S, I a got "disabled for 24+ millions minutes" text on my screen due to battery being unplugged. Unfortunately I have disabled cellular data and I wasn't connected to any Wi-Fi network. Is possible to unlock my iPhone without erasing data? I know the device's passcode.

How accurate is the GPS on the iPhone's Find My iPhone app?  I used Find My iPhone app to track a friend. The first 3 stops were dead on but when it refreshed it showed them to be several streets over from actual location. What could cause that?

I’ve recently changed the password on my iPhone SE (running iOS 10.x?) and now I’ve forgotten it. I was able to use my iPhone for a few days from TouchID but after the iPhone restarted today, I can’t get into it. It's a 4 digit passcode.  I still remember my iCloud password. But the phone is not currently configured to back up to iCloud.  Would I be able to recover the Messages if I take my iPhone to an Apple Store? I don't have any trouble proving the iPhone and its data belong to me (I purchased the iPhone with my credit card, signed into my Apple ID and iCloud accounts). But my understanding is that they can't do anything either even if they want to.  Is there any way I can get back into my iPhone? Everything else can be erased, but I just really need access to my messages. For example, would I be able to jailbreak it given that it’s running a pretty old version of iOS?

I lost my phone on vacation and activated 'Lost Mode' for a couple of days. The night before heading home I decided to do the Remote Erase ´cause I thought there's no way I'd get it back, I also called my carrier and canceled the data service on my number. The phone has been offline ever since but the hotel just called to say they found my phone at the spa and they are mailing it back to me. So I want to cancel the 'Pending Erase', all I care about is recovering all the pictures from that trip that I hadn't backed up on iCloud yet... Will removing the device from my iCloud account work?  And if I don't have service on the phone, will the 'Erase iPhone' command still go through when I turn it on?  Please help! I have two days to figure this out

A friend of mine found an iPhone 6 in a festival but she didn't have a way to charge the phone for a couple weeks. She is a maid here in Brazil and didn't have the proper charger neither knew how to use the phone. When she finally gave the phone to me to charge and try to find the owner, I've found out that the phone had an iCloud activation lock.   We took the phone to the carrier but they said that the sim card was deactivated already and belongs to a corporate account with more than 100 numbers associated.   Is there a way for me to contact the owner via Find My iPhone or iCloud? If I wipe the phone, start over and try to activate will that notify the owner via Find My iPhone? If that happens maybe I could just put another valid sim card and wait for the person to text me via iCloud and I can text him back to see how I can return.  I don't want to take it to the police because I'm pretty sure they will just sell the parts (the Brazilian police are super corrupt) and I really want to return this phone because I lost mine already in the past and I was very glad that the person who found returned it to me.

My iPhone SE on iOS 12 has been acting strange recently.   Yesterday, it turned off at around 10% and when I tried to turn it on it said that it has no power. Two minutes later, it turned on and said it had 14% capacity remaining.  Today, when it was at around 10%, it turned off. Then I turned it on  and it said 12%. Two minutes later, it turned off. It says "connect to power."  After a few minutes I tried again and it turned on. Then it gives an error saying  that it "can’t connect to my mobile data network" and then the  phone crashes.   I turned it on again, and it worked normally.   What is causing this?  EDIT: After digging around my batter settings I found this:

The Stack Exchange app doesn’t look very good on Apple’s brand new flagship phone yet.    Also the app can’t identify the device model either. (Says Unknown (iPhone 10,3))   App Version: 1.6.6.2 Device: iPhone X (iPhone10,3) OS Version: Version 11.1 (Build 15B93)

I just got a new iPhone, and wanted to start "fresh", that is, only installing the app I actually use - not the full pile of junk that was lying around on my old iPhone. Therefore, I opted not to set up the new iPhone from the old one's backup, but instead, downloaded what I wanted from the App Store.  Now I see that one of the apps on the old phone is subscription based, so that I need a password to use it. The password is stored, so I don't have to enter it on my old phone.  But I do not know that password, and for various reasons, I'm unable to use the app's forgotten password function.  So I would like to transfer that single app, including its data (password) to my new phone. How can I do that?

I "retired" my old iPhone 3GS when I got my shiny new iPhone 4 and I was happily using it as an iPod touch with camera and compass.  However, I made the mistake of throwing away the SIM inside the 3GS, because I wanted to permanently disable any phone functions, and make sure I didn't have to turn on airplane mode or anything silly like that.  Well, that seemingly worked fine until iTunes upgraded the 3GS to iOS 4.0.2. Now the sim-less iPhone 3GS is stuck at ...     No SIM card installed   Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate iPhone     What sucks is that I can't figure out any way to get around this!  Apparently, based on the (excellent)  the only way around it is to either   Jailbreak Get an AT&amp;T sim, somehow   I tried to Jailbreak but I was nowhere near smart enough to navigate the maze of twisty passages involved in jailbreaking this 3gs. iBoot too new? ipsw not recognized? ... what?  I feel like an idiot now because apparently an AT&amp;T sim is REQUIRED to make an iPhone work even if you have no intention of ever using it as a phone? Is that true? How can you get around this "No SIM card" issue?

I bought a used iPhone 4.  The previous owner re-set the phone, but did not remove the device from their iCloud.  It is asking me for their iCloud information when I try to set-up the phone.  I don't have contact with the previous owner anymore.  Is there a way to remove the device from their iCloud so I can use a new one?

I'm testing the "find my Mac" feature at icloud.com and one of my Macs can't be found. The site reports "Online, no location available".  I've looked around a bit including at Apple's , which includes troubleshooting for this situation. So I'll mention that:   Find My Mac is enabled on the Mac in System Preferences --> iCloud. The date and time zone on the Mac are correct. The Mac is connected to the internet via Wifi. Other Macs on the same Wifi network are found, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with Wifi location. Location Services is enabled in System Preferences --> Security &amp; Privacy --> Privacy I am in the USA, where this feature should work (and as mentioned, does work for other Macs on the same network). I'm logged in to the same iCloud account on multiple Macs, but only the one Mac is not found.   Also, though not specifically mentioned in TS 4006 or on other sites that I've seen:   The Mac does not have a firewall enabled The "Play Sound" feature of Find my Mac works. If I click on this at icloud.com, a loud annoying noise plays on the affected Mac. The affected Mac is able to determine its own location well enough to set the time zone automatically and identify the city I'm in. Web sites that ask for my location on the Mac (e.g. Foursquare) get the correct location.   Rebooting the Mac does not have any effect on any of this.  The Mac is a 2012 MacBook Air, running Mac OS X 10.8.5, with all current updates applied.

If I lose my iPhone, and I use remote wipe to prevent my confidential data from being stolen, then can I still use Find My iPhone to locate it on a map?  I'm assuming not (since it resets to factory settings), but I wanted to double-check.

This morning I experienced the weirdest thing by my iPhone 6S requiring me to enter my passcode rather than allowing me to use my finger as Touch ID.  My phone was locked probably for like 4 hours while charging overnight and as far as my knowledge my phone did not restart during this time since my Stack Exchange app was left open and upon opening it the same content were still there.  I didn't attempt even once to use my Touch ID; if I would've had a faulty Touch ID sensor then I should've seen such similar behavior either prior to this morning or at least afterwards (I'm already on my phone for the past 3 hours plus).  I didn't register or delete any fingerprints for months.  And finally, I don't have any restrictions setup to require the input of my passcode under Settings > General > Restrictions.  I'm running on iOS Version 10.0 beta 3 (14A5309d)  Anyone out there that has also experienced such similar behavior or with any suggestion on what might've caused it?
