Can you reset an iphone 5s with the find my iphone app activate?
I found an iphone and it has a password put in and i'm trying to reset it but a friend told me that while the find my iphone is activate in the phone i found it would be impossible to reset it
You friend is correct. The best course of action:
Option 1: Turn the phone into the local police department.
Option 2: If the phone has a service provider's logo on it, then turn the phone in to that service provider. They can identify the owner through various identifiers inside the phone and return the phone to the owner.
Correct, its a security feature. It also notifies the owner where the phone is located when you have it on.
You can't reset the phone without the rightful owner's password. It's a security feature, designed to keep you from stealing the phone (as you've done) instead of turning it in to police. The phone is essentially a brick unless you have the Apple ID password required to reset it.
- When you find an iphone is it best to activate it or sell it? I found a brand new iphone and the woman did not have a password on or find my iPhone. I was going to return it but she called me obsessively and kept telling me if I don't return the phone it's stealing. I told her to relax and that I will meet with her after the weekend but she said you, I want my phone now". I got fed up with the rudeness and I removed her SIM card and now I plan to keep it as a spare phone or sell it. What do you think is best?
- My iPhone just got stolen and i didn't put on Find my iphone. Is there a way i can find it without find my iphone? I have found out that i can remove my iphone from associated devices. Does doing this erase the iphone?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- I don't have the find my iphone app installed on my phone, can I still find it? I lost my iphone, I don't have the app installed on my phone but if someone else had it on their phone can they find mine? What should I do?
