Do I need Internet to use find my iphone
I'm trying to use find iPhone , we have three phones on our AT&T account. It's been working fine. Today I blocked data to the teen on our plan and now I can't track her phone. AT&T said I do not need Internet connection to use this feature . I'm not sure what to do. I blocked the data package on her iPhone because she used 3 gigs in 2 weeks. I want to Limit her Internet usage but I also need to be able to track her. Please help! Thanks
Yes. If the device doesn't have a connection to the Internet, then there is no way for it to report its position.

my iphone has been lost in my house and i need to find a way to track it and its offline. it wont connect to the internet so there isnt a way to use find my iphone. i just want to play a sound on it. is there any way i can get a app that connects my ipod from a laptop or a different way to find it.
If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way. Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

how can i use 'find my iPhone' if it isn't connected to the internet or is currently out of battery?
You can't. It has to be on and able to connect to a network or it can't transmit its location.

I need to shut off Find My iPhone to restore it. The email associated with find my iphone is no longer in use and I cancelled that apple is. How do I change the Apple ID to my new one? My new one is already working everywhere else on my phone and iTune
Are you trying to change the Apple ID associated with your iCloud account? If so, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. -
How do I get back my iPod if I can't use find my iphone and no internet on it?
I recently lost my iPod and I went back to go find it and it was gone, I filed a report on it being lost then stolen. The thing is I cant use Find my iPhone because I didn't have it on at the time. Also I reset my iPod because there was to much stuff on it. I never connected it to the wifi after i reset it. Please help.
I do have my serial number!You did all you could. The SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered. Make sure you change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

When using Find my iPhone, can't see the detail of my devices - just ip[hone or ipad - I have a couple of iphones, one missing, and can figure out which one to deactivate.
Is there no way to identify devices from each other?
Can't find any help in icloud either.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. -
My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

How am I supposed to use Find My iPhone?
I do not understand how you are supposed to use Find My iPhone, FROM my iPhone.. it doesn't make sense to me.
Shouldn't there be a Find My iPhone app on the Macbook?
Also I have not recieved a verification email for my iCloud Apple ID setup.
It keeps telling me to "Check Email" yet nothing is there...
If you could help me with anything, that would be great.
Thanks..you use www.icloud.com to serach for your devices from a mac or any pc via webbrowser.
or the find my iphone.app to search for your device from your second device/ a friends device.
If a mac runs 10.7.2 it will also be searchable if "find my Mac" is activated in icloud preference pane.
Again, you use any Internet-Cafe or a second PC/Mac to seach your lost devices or Macs. -
I have remote locked my mac using find my iPhone app via my iPad - I am unable to enter the unlock code as the mac keyboard won't pair with the mac - I guess that will teach me for playing...any ideas?
Thought so - ace - find my phone really needs an unlock function. - another £40...

I Lost my phone at the office building with more than 10different company and thousands of employees. since no one returned the phone and the device was already turned off i tried logging in and use find my iphone to send a message. But after days since no one is returning it i tried putting passcode on lock mode... And who would have thought that after a week someone will call me and told me that she will return the phone. But unfortunately i forgot the lock code so i cant use it. I dont want to restore it since my photos and videos are not sync to my itunes. if only theres a way that it would only just require my apple id and not the 4 digit code
There's no way to unlock it without restoring it.

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 appreciatedNo. It must be online in order to locate it.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

Hi:
I live in the UK and can use the "find my iphone" app using iCloud and my Apple ID to track my phone (and other devices like iPad etc). I use it quite often when I've left my phone somewhere in the house and can't find it, reasurring myself that it is in the house, and then using the alert to help me find it !
I'm going off to Spain for a few weeks cycling the Camino, and I want my partner to be able to tell where I am. I'll often be in the middel of nowhere, probably with poor phone signal and poor wifi coverage. So, I was wondering if my partner can log on to my iCloud account and by using "find my iphone" get an idea of when my iPhone is (and where I am) and check my progress.
Will this work just with a phone signal and gps positioning ? Or does it require wifi ?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.
ChrisFind My iPhone should work with any data connection to the internet, whether through wifi or your cellular data network. If you're out of the country, however, unless you have an international data plan this may require very expensive data roaming charges.
