Daughter Lost Iphone 5S.  It is not showing up on Icloud when logged in, and figure the battery is dead.  Any suggestions?

Daughter Lost her Iphone 5S two days ago.  Initially thought it was misplaced at friends home however have searched endlessly without luck.  Icloud may not have been set up previously ( Im not entirely sure) however when logged in on a computer the Find my Iphone through Icloud does not show her device so assuming it was not.  Therefore cannot see it there of lock it.  Any suggestions?

If you don't see it on the devices list in Find My iPhone, it probably wasn't enabled on her phone.  Also, the phone must be turned on with a connection to the internet in order to be located even if Find My iPhone was enabled.
If Find My iPhone was enabled there is no way to track it.  All she can do is physically look for it or call her number to see if someone answers.

  • My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
    Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

  • HT201412 My iPod touch 4G won't charge. I charged it and when I took it off charge it was really hot but it showed it was fully charge then when I turn it on the battery was dead and know it won't charge. Please help thanks.

    My iPod touch 4G will not charge. I charged it and when I got it off charge it was really hot but showed it was fully charge then when I turned it on again the battery was dead. Now it won't charge. Please help thanks!

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I suspect you have a hardware problem.

  • I was informed my credit card expired in February but was not informed until March. I logged in and updated the new expiration date but now Netflix has cancelled my subscribtion. What can I do?

    Was informed by Itunes that my credit card expired in February but was not informed until March. I logged in and put new expiration date but now Netflix has cancelled my subscription. What's up with this?

    Contact Netflix and ask them.
    Contact iTunes customer support and ask them.
    Why would you think anyone in these user to user support forums would be able to assist in this matter?

  • HT4759 My contacts on my iphone 5 do not match what is in my icloud contacts.  The contacts on my iphone 5 are the most current.  Anything I add on my iphone 5 contacts does not show in my icloud account.

    I am very frustrasted with trying to get my iophne 5c contacts list to sync with my icloud contact list.   The new contacts I add to my iphone do not show up in my icloud contacts.  What am I doing wrong?

    If your default account was set to iCloud in settings, it should be created in the iCloud account regardless of how you create it on the phone.
    Try adding a new test contact using the contacts app, then go to icloud.com from your computer and see if it appears there now.
    Also, what accounts were listed in the Default Account setting on your phone besides iCloud?  (Don't post your email addresses, just tell me what providers were listed there, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange, etc.)

  • Your instructions for recovering your profile with all your info (for vista) is not working on my end, when I copy and pasted the line in the start menu it came up with no hits...

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • My ipod is showing a black screen, but will charge and make the notification noises. Any ideas on how to fix it

    My Ipod touch is just showing a black screen, it still charges and the notifictions still go off because I can hear them. It wont turn onto the lock screen it just stays black. I tryed letting the battery run down and left it for like 24 hours but nothing changed

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    I have the same issue, except I can't even sync.

  • Suddenly - CD's are not showing up in Itunes when I load them in the drive

    Not sure what happened - and I assume this is my fault. I already loaded my new IPod Nano with several albums worth of songs. Today I purchased a few more albums..but for some reason, when I popped the cd's in the computer's drive - the music stopped 'appearing' in the Itunes window. I de-installed and re-installed ITunes 3 times. No affect. Now - I DID delete the "Recently added" file because it was so full of stuff. ANd it did not get added back when I re-instaaled the software. Help? I also cannot seem to just "Import cd" though I have read the directions.

    I, too, am having this issue.  The last 4 CD's I've imported have been just like this - probably during the last couple months or so.  I import the CD, everything looks normal and then I can't see the music in iTunes using any of the views - artist, genre, album, etc.  Quitting and re-starting iTunes makes no diffference.  Today, after reading dandeadman's post, I turned off iTunes Match.  When I turned it on again, I got an iTunes 5002 error.  I quit iTunes and when I started it again, I could see the album via the various iTunes views.  I turned on iTunes Match and this time I got no error, and the matching process worked, and I could still see the album after it finished. Completely unacceptable behavior.  It's bad enough when you're adding CD's at a relatively low rate (1 every month or so) as I am; if I were new to iTunes trying to transfer in my library and this is what happened, I'd never go through with it.  It appears to be linked to iTunes Match in some way and, assuming that's going to remain a key part of Apple's strategy, can we please have a fix for this soon, Apple?

  • IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

    IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

    It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

  • I purchased a bunch of songs on my iPhone but they are not showing up on it my computer.

    I purchased a bunch of songs recently on my iPhone but they are not showing up in iTunes on my computer.  They have always shown up in the past but these few haven't. I usually do a manual upload and backup of my phone, as opposed to doing it via icloud.
    In the meantime, I went to the purchases for my account and see that they are listed there and I hit "report a problem".  But it doesn't even ask me what the problem is....
    Is there anything else I can do?

    Go to View->Account and verify you're logged into the same AppleID as the iPhone
    Then go to iTunes->Preferences->Store and verify that "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" is checked.
