How to reboot an iPhone that's locked and has Find my iPhone mode turned on?
I found an iPhone, and I want to reboot it. But I can't quite do that at the moment because "Find my iPhone" is on. And it says I need to turn it off before it can be rebooted. But since I found the phone… I don't know the password, so I'm not able to access anything. Please help me if you can, I'll really appreciate it.
Just because you "found" it does not mean it is yours to keep and use. Think about how you would feel if you "lost" your iPhone and someone started using it… Turn it in to the Police department. Pay it forward.
It depends.
iOS 7 - can't do anything, so just turn it in to the lost and found
iOS 6 - hold power and home for three seconds, then keep holding home. Phone will be wiped of all data. This does NOT work for new phones (and for good reason!) so don't try.
Return the phone you stole to the police. If you want an iPhone, pay for it like everyone else.
- My iPhone turned off by itself and turned back on while using a app? When I was on YouTube my phone just shutted off by itself then turned on. Is there something wrong with the phone. Also when I click my home button one time the phone sometimes wouldnt come on till the second click. What can I do?
- 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?
- My iphone 4 froze, screen turned green and turned off? I was playing a game i regularly play when it froze. I let it sit there for a couple minutes, I pressed the home button and the screen turned green, It was green for a minute. It shut off and won't turn on. I plugged it into the charger 20 mins ago and still no response. Also, my power button broke a whille ago. What can i do? Keep it plugged in until it turns on or should i unplug it for a couple days?
- IPhone disabled and has to reboot can I restore pictures and videos? I typed the wrong password to unlock my iPhone one too many times and it was disabled until I had to connect it to iTunes and reboot the iPhone… I rebooted the iPhone and lost all my data… Is there any way I can find the pictures and videos I had on my phone before I had to reboot it?
