What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
If your Mac, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should do in advance - before you lose it or it's stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
It pays to be proactive by following the advice on using Find My Phone before you lose your device:
thanks for your help,
It comes out that changing passwords supposedly secures access to applications and accounts on iPhone -- I did it so I'm glad that it did not go in vain 🙂
and Erase button, ok it will delete all the data on the phone, preventing the thief from accessing it but what about the 4-code, PIN and others protection? I could not read anywhere if this will delate my files, data etc but unlock the phone.
police have my IMEI, I also have a 4-code and PIN, I turned on the option "Find iPhone" but it is offline so I can not track it down 😟
Is it possible to breach these security?
thanks,
Edyta
Hello jjlicious,
Unfortunately, after a device has been lost/stolen, and Find my iPhone is disabled, there is no way to track it down. You could report the incident to local authorities and hope for the best. I wish you the best of luck getting back your iPhone.
Best Regards,
Richard
This an almost 4 year old post. I doubt the original poster is still looking for an answer.
