I used find my phone 4 hours ago and now my device is no longer showing in the cloud

I beleive my phone was stolen. I used find my phone a few hours ago. I tried to use find my phone again and my device is no longer in the coud. How is that possible?

The stolen device will not be found if
* it's turned off
* its battery has died
* the thief turned off Find My iPhone
* the thief performed a restore or reset to factory condition.

  • HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account.  But my phone will not delete a mail account.  And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

    Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

    Ok - an update ...
    Managed to get the phone to backup to iCloud, so decided to risk the "Factory" reset.
    Took the reset option including delete all data and crossed fingers.
    It took a while to resotre from iCloud, but everthing seems to be back and ...
    Bluetooth now working agaim.
    Backup to Computer working again.
    And somewhat to my surprise, GMail in the mail app is working again. (The surprise being that the implication of other posts was that this was a 6.1.3 fundamental bug)
    Still no idea why the iPhone was corrupted - but at least the "Factory" reset seems to have recovered the situation.

  • I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

    I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

  • TS3716 installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    installed the new itunes and now my ipod nano  does not show in the device menu

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • HT201441 If you've found an iPod that was locked using Find My Phone/Activation Lock, and cannot contact the previous owner, is there any way to activate it still?

    I came across a 5th gen iPod touch at a bus stop, and tried but cannot activate it, as it is under the Find My Phone/ Activation Lock.
    Since I do not know who the previous owner is, is it possible to get around this roadblock? Or is it just no good to try?

    There's no way to get around it.  Turn it into the police so they can find the rightful owner.  You won't be able to use it anyway.

  • Organized pictures an hour ago, and now they're gone

    I'm so confused.
    An hour ago I was going through my photos in iPhoto, organizing them into events. I quit iPhoto and did other stuff.
    Then I reopened iPhoto ... and it told me it couldn't find my Library and asked if I wanted to start a new one. None of my pictures showed up in the Library. I tried Import, thinking maybe I could find the iPhoto library that had my pictures in it, but it wouldn't open the only one I could find, which was called Library.iPhoto.
    I can't find any of my pictures anywhere, not even by searching for them. What happened?

    It sounds like iPhoto lost the link to the iPhoto Library package. It is located in your Pictures folder. If iPhoto make a new library it probably is there also and named iPhoto Library_1. Check the Pictures folder to see if the library is there.
    If it is, check it's size via the Finder to make sure it contains your photos. Then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to Choose Library. Navigate to the Pictures folder and select the library.
    If that still doesn't help, try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • I had purchased icloud and now I can only sync my iPhone over the cloud. I want to plug my phone into my mac and sync it like I sync my iPod.

    I want to sync my iphone in the same manner as I sync my ipod. Since i purchased the cloud, it seems I can only download my library using the cloud. How can I just sync my library by just plugging into my mac?

    You will have to use recovery mode, losing all data.

  • Have updated my mail but i cant import my old messages as i am told that I do not have enough room on my HD but when I deleted files and movies an hour ago and now it says i still don't have room.

    I have updated my mail but when I try to import my old messages back I am told That I do not have enough space I then deleted a number of files and movies and still got a warning message of not enough space

    Did you empty the trash (click on Finder) after deleting the files/movies?

  • My ipod touch 5 wont turn on. It was working fine about an hour ago and now it does tot respond to any action i take.

    My ipod 5 suddenly wont turn on and is not responsive to any action, what can i try?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I am trying to use Find My Phone for people to follow me on the NYC Marathon next week.  Is there a way to set up a temporary User ID and Password to give out to people for this purpose?  I would obviously want to delete that log in info after the race.

    I would like to use Find My Phone for friends and family to follow me during the NYC Marathon next week.  Is there a way to set up or temporarily change my User ID and Password for this purpose?

    New York Runners has an app that is specially designed to do exactly that. It's (or will be) available in the App Store.

    You might also look at apps like RunMeter. It will let you send updates by email, Facebook or Twitter. Glympse is another app that, though not designed specifically for runners, might also be useful.

  • My phone went blank and now will only show the apple logo I have tried to reset it and that doesnt work HELP!!!!

Please help I dont have my stuff saved and would like to keep the stuff i do have on it!!! Every once in awhile the screen will go black for a few seconds then the apple logo pops right back up!

    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • Hi! My iPhone was stolen 4 hours ago and the thief managed to change the apple iD until I changed it again, I was wondering if he can access to the iPhone now or use it now that it is changed again,does anyone know? Thank you!

    Hi!My iPhone 4s was stolen about 4 a hours ago,Thad thief managed tochange the apple iDpassword  so changed it after that ,I was wondering now that I changed it again if the thief can access or us it,does anyone know? Thank you!

    If you have Find My Phone enabled then put your phone in Lost Mode. If Find My Phone is not enabled then there is little you can do to prevent access to it. Unless you let anyone know your Apple ID's password, the thief should not be able to change it.

    Effectively use is for what? On your computer you can log into iCloud at www.icloud.com and locate your device. Or you can use a different iOS device and the Find My iPhone app to do the same thing.
