Can I get to "find my iPhone" on the iPhone?
When I try to get onto www.me.com on the iPhone it brings me to a simple info page rather than the actual web site. I want to be able to go to "find my iPhone" on the phone itself. Is this possible?
-Josh
No it isn't.
You can't access the MobileMe website with Safari on the iPhone.
If you are using your iPhone - you have your iPhone in hand, you don't need to find your iPhone.

Can thieves get around Find My iPhone in the iOS 7 version?
Yesterday at the Seahawks game my 5S (32gb, gold) fell out of my pocket when I was jumping like crazy during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown. Someone right next to us picked it up and turned it off right away. My husband immediately put it into "stolen" mode in Find My iPhone, and it had been maybe 10 minutes at the most since it fell out of my pocket.
We did all the right stuff--that phone won't work on the AT&T network at all, we keep checking in with security to see if someone it was left in the stadium, the Seattle PD has an open case, and Apple has the relevant info with the serial number and such. It had a passcode lock plus my fingerprint ID in use.
Unfortunately, the thief still hasn't turned it back on. And I've tried researching but wanted to see if you smart people have any insight here--is there a way someone can still get around this? Like, is there a sophisticated way they could jam the cell signal, not turn on wifi, and somehow break into the phone and jailbreak it or whatever? Or is there hardwired means that the serial number or whatever Apple accesses to ID it as a stolen device just can't be overcome?
Basically, I REALLY hope that it's a brick with absolutely no way to overcome it and by some miracle the phone gets turned in. Our son, who is almost 3, has autism and doesn't speak. The other day he started pointing out letters to me and saying them and it was such a beautiful moment and I grabbed my phone and got it on video, plus I got some cool videos of the actual Seahawks game. We're HUGE fans and only go about once a year. So I'd really love to, by some miracle, get those back.
BUT if I can't get the phone back, ever, I REALLY just want the peace of mind that it's an unusable brick and there's no way that some ahole out there is going around using my phone, nor that they were able to make it usable and sell it and some unknowing person paid $600 and now gets to use my stolen phone.
Anyway, when I called Apple the guy said there's no way that phone can ever be used, no matter what, unless they put in our Apple ID and password, and that it is completely impossible to break into the software and wipe it without accessing the internet, which means we would immediately get the location notification. Even the police officer who took my report said she doesn't understand why people steal iPhones because they are complete bricks and there's no way around it. Still, I just feel like if that were true people wouldn't keep stealing iPhones.
So do any of you have any insight? Thanks for entertainging my obsessing over this shat situation.I should clarify: I didn't know it fell out, but I check my phone often enough that there were only about 10 minutes between when I last put it in my pocket and then realized it wasn't there.
We asked everyone around us if they saw it, and like 10 people were helping us look. But my husband used Find My iPhone and the Prey app right away when we realized it was missing (again, at most 15 minutes from the last time I used it) and it was already in offline / "cannot locate" mode. -
How can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc
how can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc . i have A NEW IPAD I WANT TO TRANSFER THE MUSIC ONTO
When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
And there is no need to SHOUT. -
Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!
Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M. -
I currently have aT-Mobile sim, and therefore, a UK telephone number. Can I get a sim from EE with the same number to use in my iphone 5?
The easiest way to find out what carrier it's locked to would be to call the store where you purchased the phone.
The phone can be unlocked from any location. However, most carrier have restrictions about unlocking and you have to contact them for details. -

I have 1 Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both of these devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in, can I set up 'find my "device"' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices. -

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

I bought 3 iPhone 4s and each should have 5gb of cloud. I want to only use my one iTunes ID. How can I get this storage space increased to the 15 GB?
iCloud storage is not allocated by device. iCloud storage is allocated to your iCloud AppleID. You get 5GB of iCloud storage.

I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?
You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.

HT4993 if your screen cracks, can you get a replacement screen installed on the iphone/
if your screen cracks, can you get a replacement screen installed on the same phone?
With iPhone 4 Apple will not replace the screen. They will replace the entire iPhone 4. If you want the screen replaced on the same iPhone 4, you have to do it yourself.

Can't get wallpaper to show up in the background on my iPhone 3G
Can't get wallpaper to show up in the background on my iPhone 3G????
I have tried everything I can think of. But for some reason Apple has not made this easy to do. I just can't seem to get a Wallpaper to show up in the background. I can get it to show up on the lock screen, but that's it. Am I missing something? Has any one fond this simple feature hard to figure out?WHAT! Oh, come on. This was the only reason I was interested in iOS4. I mean really I knew a lot of features wouldn't work cause of the lack of procesor speed, but the Walpaper is just a static graphic, what is so hard with that? I mean three OS's ago I hacked my iPhone and got that feature working. Apple did the pooch on this one. I hope this is not like holding back features like they do on cars to sell the over priced ones.
Gee! I am so ******! I spent a living H E Double Hocky Sticks trying to get the darnm OS on my iPhone and none of the features except the very poorly implemented folder or is tit a tray directory thing. Well it's back to OS 3 and hacking it to get it to work properly. -
I got locked out of Mac os 9 and now I can't get into OS 9 or OS X. All I see is the Macintosh SE and a finder face and text that says "mac os 9.2 welcome to mac os". I can't get into COntrol Panel to reset the password to allow me to get in.
Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.

I have a password protected excel spreadsheet, how can I get my iPads and iPhones to read this and save it password protected?
Documents to Go says that it, "Opens password protected Excel 97-2008 files", but does not say whether it can save them as "password protected".
This might work for you.
