Do I need to download the Find my Iphone app if it is already enabled on my iphone's settings?
Do I need to download the Find my Iphone app if it is already enabled on my iphone's settings?
Good question. No, you do not.
The only reason you would need the "Find My iPhone" app on your iPhone would be to find a different iPhone (or iPad) on this particular iPhone.
Right now, with no additional app on your iPhone, if lost, you could find it from a computer or other device by simply logging into iCloud using your Apple ID and password.

I lost my iphone in Guatemala City and just downloaded the Find My iPhone app to my MacBook Pro. How do I launch the app & locate my phone?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can) -
I need to install the find my iPhone app on my ipad, it will not install. Any reasons. Do I need to change something in my settings? I am up to date with my ios7. Please help!
Try closing the App Store app via the iPad's taskbar and then do a soft-reset and see if you can install it after the iPad has restarted. To close the App Store : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -

Is there a way to find my iPhone 4s if I did not download the find my iPhone app?
Is there a way to find my iPhone 4s if I did not install the find my iPhone app?
The app has nothing to do with this. The app allows someone to locate their iOS device with your iOS device.
Now, what if he had the app installed, and someone else did too, by what you're saying, he could then track his iPhone using theirs.
So the app actually has some bearing, not much, but it's there. I was merely stating that without either the app, or iCloud, then no, he cannot track it. But he can use iCloud because he possibly has Find My iPhone activated.
Now, why don't we both be good little children, shake hands, wander off, and try to help some people rather than argue with eachother for no apparent reason? -
Unfortunately my phone was stolen from my workplace on thurs & I didnt have the FMI app turned on.....is their any chance I can turn this on via icloud or itunes????
The app is only for locating another iOS device from the one the app is installed upon.
If you didn't setup the iCloud account and turn Find my iPhone on in the settings BEFORE the phone was stolen, then you can't track it now or activate it remotely. -
Why is my iPad 2 taking so long to download the find my iPod app
HI,
i am new to doing this until today so i hope someone can help me.
My son lost his iPod and my iPad is acting like it is freezing up when I try to download the app "how to find my iPhone " (I know I am looking for is iPod but it said it would work to find iPods.
And while ole I am asking How can I speed up my iPad (my daughter uses it more then I get to but it seems to be extremely slow ,I know it is better versions then a iPad 2nd generation,but I got it brand new just a year ago.
ALso. I need help with linking all my apple products to my iPad so I know I can know where my kids iPods are and also get the music my son downloaded that I paid for . I bought a different phone and so I lost all my paid music from iTunes that I bought also .
I Feel so lost with Apple products , I don't use it often but my son uses his iPod everynight to unwind and it has been weeks !!!!
please someone out there please take your time and help meThanks for the help.....yes! have downloaded the ios8.1.1, and also using the wall power adaptor that came with the Ipad. I'm sure now if the problem is with the device or with the adaptor. Although when charging it shows the lightening sign next to the battery symbol but the % doesn't really move. I've also tried turning off the device and charging but that hasn't made too much of a difference....for instance its been charging for three hours now and it only gone up 1%. This though has only been evident today. Is there anyway of testing or any diagnosis app which can be use to test if its the adaptor thats the problem or the device???

I Lost my iPod. touch , and i have information on there how do i delete my twiiter , facebook and etc. amd photos from it through the computer and my password is easy please PLEASE HELP . God Bless. i just dont want my life out there .
If you did not set up your Touch for Find My iPhone prior to it being lost there is no way to remotely remove any of the information. In any case they would have to connect it to the internet to do so. Change all your passwords and don't worry about it.

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 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.
