  • 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.

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - 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.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

  • HT4759 My iPad was lost. I am using the Find my iPhone app, but it is not showing there (though the iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online.  You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
    In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords.

  • Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    The Find My IPhone app is used to find OTHER lost devices, it does nothing to make your device "findable".  To make it findable, you must turn on "Find My IPhone" in settings. And than you need location services on.  This however does not guarantee that you'll always find it if lost. A thief can set it to factory settings, even remove the sim card. Then it'll be unfindable.

  • Is there any other way to find and iPhone besides using the find my iPhone app?

    Been trying to find my iPhone using the find my iPhone app and have had no luck. Also added the  AT&T Family Map and have had no luck. It just makes me so mad that somebody you thought was your friend would do something like this. Can anybody HELP!! Would really appericate it.

    From what I have read, you obviously have an idea or are sure who has your device? As roaminggnome says, report to the police, and give them this information if you are sure of it.

  • My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on. ???

    My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline.  Any suggestions.  It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

    Does she have her own iCloud account?  You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
    But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone".  So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account.  Is that what happened in your case?

    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.
     Cheers, Tom

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

  • I accidentally erased my phone while using the Find my Iphone app

    I accidentally erased my phone while using the Find my Iphone app. Now im trying to unlock it as my phone is also sim locked but this is the message that comes up :
    "Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting Your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes."
    This keeps repeating and there doesnàt seem to be anz alternative as iTunes isnàt letting me connect either.

    On your Macbook you access Find My iPad via a Web Browser at http://icloud.com
