Data usage when using find my Iphone

Hi
Does anyone know in a 24hr period how much data transfer takes place when you have find my Iphone turned on (Sent & Received)how often does the Iphone report to the server or is it connected all the time. I am seeing heavy usage on my Iphone and I am trying to illiminate different apps ect.

It should be minimal or zero unless unless you are actually trying to locate your iPhone, send a message or sound alert to your iPhone, or when attempting a remote wipe. When I've tested locating my iPhone, it is far from being instant - it takes quite a while. If the iPhone were constantly or regularly reporting location to the server, the location process would or should be much faster.

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?

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.

When using Find My iPhone app on the iPad2, is it possible to hear live sound around a device wham the "Play Sound" button is tapped?

Yes.

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

No. It must be online in order to locate it.

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.

How do I have my IPad Provide alert when using "Find my iphone" app

How can I set my IPad so that it gives an aleert when using "find my phone" app?

That's not an option find my phone app currently supports.

I don't get email notifications when using find my iphone from another device.

When my husband uses the app "find my iphone" to locate my where abouts, I no longer get email notifications. He uses my user name and password. I believe he dismantled that feature somehow. Is that possible?

HT201302 is my iphone phone pinpoint accurate when using find my iphone?

how accurate is the location of the find my iphone app?. and sometimes when im looking for my lost iphone it shows thel ittle green dot in different places everytime i refresh in the icloud website?

Depending on thenumber of satelites it can see, it could be accurate within 30 feet to a mile or so

TS4006 Why can't I see a map when using find my iPhone on my macbook air in China?

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?

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.
