Does Find my iPhone require you to have iCloud?

Does Find my iPhone app require you to have iCloud?

No, to use the "Find My Phone" feature of iCloud you would need to create an iCloud account and enable the feature on your iPhone.
If you haven't, then there would be no way to track its location.

  • How can you activate find my iphone if you dont have the device you need to find

    I wasnt aware that i had to activate find my iphone and Apple themselves are being useless in helping. Is there anyway i can activate it without having the device as i have obviously lost it. or is there anyway of displaying a message even though it isnt registerted?

    No and no.
    - 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.
    - 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.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • Does Find My Friends Require Push To Be On?

    I know that Find My iPhone requires that Push be enabled on that device for it to be located. I tried turning it off because I actually don't want my emails pushed to my phone but then my phone/ipad showed as either location services disabled or device off line so I've had to keep push on for that. That's why I'm wondering if Find My Friends also requires that Push be on.

    Find My Friends also requires that Push be on.
    No.

    Hi Oliveira_Lisboa,
    The article below has some information about the options and features available, it also has some tips that might help you locate your iPhone.
    What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
    If you lose your iOS device or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you locate it and protect your personal data.
    If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
    These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
    Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
    Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
    If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Additional Information
    Visit iforgot.apple.com/appleid if you need help remembering your Apple ID.

  • Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down!

    Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down! Anyone has suggestions / info?

    You should shut down all the apps running in the background and then reset your phone.  Double tap the home button to open the multitasking drawer (iOS 6.X) or the multitasking screen (iOS 7.X)  if you are on iOS 6.X press and hold one of the app icons and wait for the icon's to start to jiggle, just like when you want to delete an app.  Tap the little x that appears in the upper corner of the icons.  Repeat until all the icons are gone.
    If you are on iOS 7.X once the multitasking screen is open swipe up on all the app images until they are all closed.  Tap on the home screen to close.
    Then press and hold both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time and wait for the Apple logo to appear then release both buttons.  The phone will restart itself. 
    If this doesn't help try doing a Reset All Settings reset, you will not lose any data or content or media.  But you will have to reset any setting you turned on or off in Settings.  This will reset all settings back to factory default.  Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the person who has stolen my macbook logs out of iCloud.
    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

  • I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas? Thanks

    I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
    When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
    PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU

    With a sim lock,
    you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

  • Find my iPhone requires iOS7?!!?????

    Because of a different iOS problem on my iPhone 4, I had to restore then reinstall apps only to discover that Find My iPhone requires iOS 7.  The support pages say iOS 5, but it's 7.  I was previously forced to 'upgrade' to iOS 6.0.1 which lost a decent map app and slowed me to a crawl, and now Apple wants to make it even worse.  Are you kidding me?!!  Yes, you may say that I can use my PC to locate the phone.  Please explain how to get a non-mobile device to walk around with me while I look for my spouses iPhone when we're out of town.
    Perhaps the Apple strategy is to get users to 'upgrade' their phones.  Since my family no longer has the ability to locate our iPhones without 'upgrading' the iOS to further dysfunction, our next mobile phone upgrade will be to Droids.

    I havent done it myself so im not 100% sure, but im about 75% sure that it will reset the passcode altogether according to this article iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

  • Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.

    when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to:  You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.

    You posted in a 4 month old dead post. 
    You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using.  You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post.  This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions.

  • Final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card

    When I open Final Cut Pro, it says final cut pro requires you to have a quartz extreme graphics card. However, I have used the same thing for over a year already without any problems! Please help!
    It's an iMac 27inch quad core late 2009

    I bet you used Software update to download a few items recently (including a recent system update), and have not yet restarted your Mac. To confirm this, launch software update, and follow the instructions. Once you restart and the install completes, relaunch FCP, and you'll probably be good.
    (I just did that to myself the other day).
    Hope it helps!
