When using find my iphone, is the green dot where my device exactly is or can it be somewhere in the circle around the dot??

I cant find my ipod and im wondering if the green dot is the exact location????

Hey Mariahlt1121, depending on the router and location, the green dot could be within in a few feet and as far as a city block away! (I know this because I have checked it out. In one location had to be within 15 feet of the router to get Wi-Fi, and yet at home I get approximately 180 feet from the router; crazy huh!) and if your iPod is tapped into someone else's network could be even further away.) With this info, good luck finding your iPod. Hope you find it. Cheers.

  • Using Find My iPhone, how do I see numbers of devices registered (instead of just iphone) - have a few devices and need to deactivate the right one

    When using Find my iPhone, can't see the detail of my devices - just ip[hone or ipad - I have a couple of iphones, one missing, and can figure out which one to deactivate.
    Is there no way to identify devices from each other?
    Can't find any help in icloud either.

    What ever device you still have on had.  Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
    I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.

  • How to prevent email when using find my iphone

    Hi there,
    Am I the only that finds the email confirmations annoying when using find my iPhone?
    Is there any way to prevent these emails, or a preference somewhere to turn them off?

    Apple:
         Considering the threads here and on other Internet sites, this is clearly a safety issue.  As a parent who uses this feature on my children's phone - this feature should be optional.  Notifying the bad guy when you are searching for your phone/child is not an option.  Thank you.

  • I accidentaly clicked "remove" when using find my iphone...how do I log in when my iphone is not with me to find it?

    i was using "find my iphone" and when given the location it was an old location. A post read that the iphone was either turned off or the wifi was not being used. A remove or cancel  button appears with this message. I accidentally clicked cancel and now when trying to retrive information about the location of my device it says that I must refresh page or set up instructions. There must be a way to reinstate my account without my device physically present but I do not know how...can someone help me?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Ipad is showing as offline when using "find my iphone"

    Hi
    I am having trouble getting my ipad to be located using find my iphone.  This was working and has now stopped working (and did stop working prior to installing iOS 5 so im pretty certain its nothing to do with my software update the other day)
    I have downloaded the app, location services are on as are push notifications and of course find my iphone is enabled.  Ipad is definately on and connected to the net as its only the wifi version.
    When i try to find it, it says that its offline.  I have tried a whole lot of things so far and nothing as worked
    -  turned airplane mode off/on - restart - no luck
    -  turned push notifications off/on - no luck
    - turned location services off/on - no luck
    -  deleted my icloud account and then added again - no luck
    -  deleted the app and downloaded again (clutching at straws at this stage!) and still no luck
    I read somewhere that it could be to do with me recently changing my apple ID which i did a couple of weeks ago - the suggestion that i read was to change my apple id back and it should work.  Problem is that my old apple ID was 6 letters long and no capitals, so i can't change it back even if i wanted to
    Also what annoys my is that i can actually locate my iphone sweet as just not my ipad
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • For some strange reason, maps don't render when using Find My iPhone.

    After updating to IOS 8.1 (or maybe a coincidence), whenever I use Find My iPhone app on my phone, or Apple Maps, I only see the gridlines but no other detail about roads, etc. Anyone experiencing this, and any solution? Thanks.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

    It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen.  You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it. 
    It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so.  Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
    While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on.

    I am using icloud on my macbook air to track my iphone. I can get the position of my iphone with a green dot, but there's no map showing. Why is that? I am in Chengdu, a city in China.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?
