Can i setup the 'find my phone' app without icloud?

I'm still using Snow Leopard for work reasons which means no iCloud. Can I use the 'find my phone' app without iCloud? Is there a way? Thanks

If you had Find My iPhone enabled on your phone, then as well as using the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device, you can also use log into the account on http://icloud.com and try locating the phone via that

Can the "find my phone" app be deleted?

Can the "find my phone" app be deleted?

Yes, it can be deleted, but if you are concerned that deleting the app will prevent your phone from being trackable, don't be.
The "Find my iPhone" app does not need to be installed for the Find my iPhone service to work. It is only for locating another iOS device from yours.
For your phone to be trackable, the MobileMe/iCloud account needs to be setup on it, Find my iPhone needs to be enabled, Location Services needs to be turned on, and the phone needs an internet connection.

If you didn't set up Find My iPhone in the iCloud settings, then you can't. Notify the police and change the password to your Apple ID and any other online services you used from that iPhone, just as a precaution.

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

Is there any way that I can find the last location that I left it,eventhough I called in lost and stolen and reactivated my # to a different device.

If you didn't set up Find My iPhone or it otherwise does not appear in icloud.com, then there's no way to trace it. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).

How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .

How can I find my iPod touch that got lost ? But I don't have the Find my Phone app .
Please , help me ..

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

HT4759 Is it true that when setting up devices with the find my phone app you must use the same account for ICloud ? If so how do I delete a current account to make it read as the other ICloud accounts?

I'm setting up my devices with the find my phone app. I have accomplished setting up 2 devices. The third I can't setup because I can't change the iCloud account.
My understanding from reading that the iCloud accounts must use the same name on all devices. How do I change that account in my phone settings?

You don't have to use the same iCloud account in order to track all your devices. You just have to sign into the iCloud account being used on the device you are trying to track in order to track it. When you sign in on icloud.com and open Find My iPhone, you will see all the devices with Find My iPhone enabled that are using the account you signed in with. To track a device using a different account, simply sign out, then sign back in using the ID the new device is using.
The Find My iPhone app works the same way. It will display devices based on the iCloud account you sign in with on the app. To track a device using a different account, sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID that the new device is using.

Can I use the Find my Iphone app on Itunes?

Hi, I was wondering if i could use the find my iphone app on itunes, i do not own any other apple device except my phone.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use the find my phone app on your phone if you want, however there doesn't seem much point, since you will have it in your hand when you are using it and therefore know where it is.
You can enable the find my phone feature through settings >Icloud, and then track your phone at iCloud.com, should it be lost or stolen.

Is there any way to remotely wipe an iPhone 4 without the use of iCloud and the find my phone app?

How accurate is the "Find my Phone" app, if not in a free wi-fi area could it bounce a 100/200 metres to the next nearest to show its location as being there instead?

How accurate is the "Find my Phone" app, if not in a free wi-fi area could it bounce the location of the phone a 100/200 metres?
Can there be technology glitches in fairly condensed areas?

I do not know about the UK, but the "accuracy" of the application in the US would not support a search warrant or confrontation. I have no specifics about the exact accuracy.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Will the Find My Phone app work on Iphone 3

Will the Find My Phone app work on the Iphone 3? If so, how do I activate it?

If you have MobileMe, you must use the Settings pane in your MobileMe email to activate the service that way.
If you have iOS 5 and an iCloud account, you can turn on Find my iPhone in that same manner (iCloud email address) without using the app.
The application itself just shows you where your iPhone is, so this could work with other iOS devices, etc.
Either way, you will still need to logon to me.com or icloud.com to track your phone (first two methods).

How do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

how do i find out what numbers i have included on the find my phone app?

Sorry, but what do you mean by "what numbers I have included"? Find My iPhone doesn't store nor go by phone numbers, if that's what you're referring to. It's done by the Apple ID you used to set up Find My iPhone on the device you wish to track, and the devices will be shown by name.
You may need to explain further what it is you're asking or are trying to accomplish.
Regards.

Can I use the "Find My iPad" app in my MacBook Pro when the iPad has a different Apple ID?

Can I use the "Find My iPad" app in my MacBook Pro when the iPan has a different Apple ID & password than the MacBook Pro?

On your Macbook you access Find My iPad via a Web Browser at http://icloud.com
This will require you to sign on using the Apple ID and password used for the iPad iCloud.

Any ideas would be appreciated..

The phone is useless to you without the previous owners information. Either get a hold of the owner and get the info or return the phone and get your money back.
