Enable "Find my iPhone" in Configuration Utility

Is there a way to enable the MobileMe Find My iPhone as an account that cannot be removed or switched off in the iPhone Configuration Utility?
I see that in Settings-->Mail-->Add Account-->Mobile Me is an option, which subsequently allows me to turn on Find My iPhone on the device itself, but in the Configuration Utility that is not an option.
Thanks for your time.

To be located the device must be powered on and have an internet connection.

  • Where can I find the iPhone Web Configuration util for Windows?

    Hi,
    Struggling at the moment with the iPhone Config Util v2 on Windows - I can't get our Exchange account settings to stick. I have previously used the web configuration and that worked everytime, but now I've lost my installation somewhere. Saying that, that was on v1/v2 iPhones.
    Where can I download this older utility?
    Is there an issue with the new configuration util and v3 phones? Does the new configuration work with self-signed certificates? Ours just seems to report authentication errors when trying to set the profile up.
    Any ideas?
    Neil

    I just contacted Fedex and they advised that a MSDS is not required with shipments of iPhones to/from the US.

  • My new Ipad Air was just stolen. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have enabled Find my Iphone and it is offline.

    I was in Toys R Us getting my daughter a late Christmas gift tonight and while I was in the store someone broke in my car andd stole my new Ipad Air. I have Find My Iphone downloaded, but it cant be located. It says that it is offline. I am so upset. I just purchased this about a month ago. The police came out and took fingerprints but I am just wondering if there is anything else I can do. Please help!

    I did that as soon as I realized it was stolen. I just feel like I should be doing something more than sitting around waiting for the police.

  • How to enable Find my iPhone using non-primary iCloud account in iOS 7?

    Our business relied on this functionality to track our iPhones and iPads.  We had a separate MDM service so we can remotely manage/wipe devices, but finding the location is important to us.
    There are lots of articles on the Internet on how to set this up on iOS 6, how useful it is for businesses (and families), etc.  Why would Apple change this functionality?  They can still "protect" the feature by requiring a password to turn it off for the account, just like they do with the primary/main iCloud account.
    Help!

    Interesting. I haven't updated yet but I'd like to follow your progress on this issue.
    If an answer isn't found by the end of the day, I will do my own iOS7 update and do my own research. Good luck.

  • I lost my ipod touch 4th generation. I don't have Find My iPhone enabled on it, but I have the serial number. How can I find it?

    I bought it this year in February. I think I know where it is, but just to be safe... I'm going nuts trying to find it...
    I have the serial number, and Find My iPhone is on it, but I guess it's not enabled because it's not showing up on my iPhone. I tried doing the Find My iPhone online, but it's only locating my iPhone, which I have. It's the iPod I'm missing.
    Question is, can I find my iPod with just a serial number??

    Did you pass code locked it? If Find My iPhone is configured, you can do a remote wipe. Any way, go to the police and make a report, change your password in iTunes Store, really sorry, that's not much you could do. Is it authorize? If so you can deauthorize in iTunes when you select iTunes Sore under STORE (left panel) and click your Apple ID (top right)

  • I lost my iPhone and i cannot get a hold of it and i don't think my find my iPhone is enabled on it

    How can I find my iPhone if I can not get a hold of it and I don't think "find my iPhone" is enabled on? I have my serial number.

    Get up, go out, retrace your steps, and look for it.
    If you didn't enable Find my iPhone, then there is no other way to locate it.

  • IOS Business - Find my iPhone - Personal/Work Apple ID - What to do...

    Hey Apple Discussions,
    I work for a big enterprise company here in Canada, and have a couple technical questions.  Going forth and giving some back end about myself, I was previously a Genius, and am now a Mac/iOS Support Specialist.
    We have various end users here who are currently using business iPhones. those user's would use their Apple ID with iCloud and setup Backup/Photo stream etc.. the works and Find My iPhone.
    We all know that iOS 7 brought a new feature to iPhone to prevent theft and lockout (Great Job Apple!!), my question is not how to bypass the password screen when restoring a phone, as if you have the original receipt and proof of purchase and provide that to Apple they can help reset the device without needing the Apple ID (for Business companies only)
    But when someone get's terminated/fired/quits the job and their Apple ID is tied to the first/main iCloud account, we cannot always get access to their personal iCloud password, as communication is lost with them, which leaves us with a "temp bricked" phone until we go through the channels, to have it properly reset.  This leads to us communicating with HR, and retrieving the POP(Proof of Purchase for that unique device) and going through the channels to have it unlocked.
    So with new iPhones we have been  distributing with our end users we have been implementing our own Business Apple ID for iCloud, to enable Find my iPhone to prevent this LOCK out process from happening in the future down the road.  Needless to say, this no longer allows the end user to use ALL functionality of their  personal iCloud account, as when you add a secondary iCloud account you only get basic features, safari,bookmarks,calendars,notes,email and not photo stream, keychain, data, iCloud backup Find my iPhone...
    We have looked at the Apple Configurator and they don't offer a solution with that mass distribution iOS Software....
    This means the end user cannot restore from an iCloud backup, they cannot use Photo stream (however Box.net, dropbox, mega all have valuable usable Photo storage services).
    We get the device belongs to "The Company" but now a days people tend to keep one phone on them ,taking pictures, and we all know how much people MANUALLY backup their own data on iTunes.
    Any other solutions would be great where we can keep control of the find my iPhone section, so when we restore a terminated phone it is tied to our Business Apple ID,  making it a simple restore, but the end user can still use their personal for all other features as mentioned above, other than the basic  (mail,contacts,calendar,bookmarks,notes) and can backup their phone app data, and photos they have taken.
    Thanks

    We struggle with the same Problem in our company. Another case we would like to have each device configured with our company AppleID is when an employee told us he has lost his iPhone. We have no possibility to use the "Find iPhone" feature even the device belongs to us, because the employee use the iPhone with his own privat AppleID. So we just have to trust and believe the phone is lost, even we have doubts.
    We are thinking about to Switch to Android because they have more Enterprise friendly device Management applications even I personally prefer iOS.

  • Find my iphone not working on 3gs (with a valid account). Please help?

    Hi All,
    I created a free Mobile Me account with my iPad and enabled 'Find my iPhone' on it. After that, I went to my 3GS and activated 'Find my iPhone' successfully.
    The thing is: nothing works with the 3gs. With the iPad, I can lock it, and send messages to it (I didn't try to erase it, for obvious reasons). I cannot send messages to the 3GS and can't lock it, either.
    Both devices with the latest iOS version (4.2.1).
    I tried erasing all email accounts, and reseting network configuration. Push enabled.
    Please help
    Thanks

    There is a loop hole. Just register your account using the same steps on any iphone4 ipad or itouch 4th gen FIRST then u'll be able to use your account on your 3gs that allows it to track your iphone...up to a max of 3 diff devices. google the other forums, this was what i read from them.

  • 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.

  • How can i install find my iphone on my iphone4

    hi all!
    So i bought two used/old Iphone 4 for my kids for our vacation at Disney..figured they could play them inline at rides and more importantly...i could use Find MY I phone to locate my kids when ( not if) they get lost in crowd /wander off.
    The iPhone have been upgraded to iOS 7.1.2 the latest it can
    But every time i try to DL the Find My Iphone app..it tells me it requires iOS8 ..which ofc Ver4 does.
    1. The iphone has been reset to defaults ie wiped .
    2.have tried deleting the app from library and DL it to my PC and synching it but same prob
    3. Have never DL any apps with this icloud id i made for son...but have enabled his acct to use family sharing so app initially appeared as being in library with all my other apps
    4. No i don't have old version of the app in recycle bin ( .ipa file)
    a) how can i force it to DL or manually install the ver 3 app? and where to get?
    because i now can see my kids new phone but its not sharing location..im guessing casue app not installed.
    Thanx!

    You use the app to track the phones from your phone or a computer. The app does NOT need to be installed on the phone in order for it to be tracked.
    In order to track the phone, just go Settings>iCloud and enable Find My iPhone.
    You may also want to enable restrictions and select "Don't Allow Changes" in the Location Services and/or Accounts sections. That will prevent them from shutting off Find My iPhone.
    Keep in mind that the phone must have an internet connection for Find My iPhone to work. The phone must be on wifi or cellular data.
