Find my iphone app- Can you spoof your location?

Is there an app that allows you to keep find your iphone running but allow you to spoof the phone location?

No.
What if some relative or government organization needs to know your exact location.
To have your location unknown you must turn off your iPhone completely. Also do not drive a car with a tracking system (like OnStar) which cannot be turned off.

TS3376 If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device

If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device

No, you can only potentially track it if you have Find My iPhone enabled on it, you can't do it via the serial number.
If this isn't hypothetical, then if your iPad has been stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. and contact your carrier.

If you didn't enable it on your iPod before it was lost you can't. If you did, you may be able to locate it by going to icloud.com from your computer browser, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

Find my iphone app can no longer find my ipads

When I use the Find my Iphone app to locate my ipads, it now says no location available for both ipads. It has been working until two days ago. I have reset the ipads, turned the location servcie on and off, and have tried two different wireless networks as well as my iphone with and without a network connection. Did the icloud get updated recently that may have cause it to stop working? Any other ideas on how get this working again?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can add as many devices as use your iCloud account to Find my phone, in fact any device that uses an iCloud account can use Find my phone.

Hey, I lost my iphone somewhere and it is running OS7. I have a desktop but I don't understand if the app, "find my iphone" is installed on it. I know it's on my iphone, just wondering how and if I can access from my desktop? Any help is appreciated.

I lost my iPad a year ago and i just found the find my iPhone app can i use it?

i lost my ipad a year ago i left it in my job's bathroom and some kids took it but i didnt realize that until the next day. I just saw the find my iphone app but i wasnt sure if i could use it even though i never downloaded it in my ipad ?

If you didn't have MobileMe or iCloud on the iPad, no. I'm pretty sure it's a setting, so it would need to be turned on. Also, there's the chance that it's been Restored, turned off, sold for candy, etc.

TS3376 what is going on with the find my iphone app,i use IOS 6.1.1 and i have updated the find my iphone app and now i cant locate my device

some help or some explanation would be nice because i rly need this app and now after the update im not able to locate my device

Not sure if it would help or not, but if you haven't already done so, some things you could try are:
Tap Sign Out on the top right of the app, then sign back in
Force close the app by going to the home screen, double-tapping the home button, locating the app in the list at the bottom, tapping and holding the app until it wiggles, tapping to close it, then tapping the home button again.
Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Find My iPhone off, the after a minute or so, turn it back on.

Find my iPhone app. "Online, not sharing location"

II've no issues with this app. Then last week my daughters phone saU.S. "online, not sharinh location." Im confused. I've seen it say "offline" or "location not available" but i can't figure how to fix "online, not sharing location."

the gsm satellites require a line of sight like a tv sat disc inside under thick walls it can't get a fix with the satellites and if the carrier or wifi network it's connected to can't provide a location, no location can be provided

Can you tint your white iPhone?, Can you tint your white iPhone?

I want to get an iPhone and was wondering if there are any other color options. I've heard that you can, but will they do it for you at the Apple store?

You actually have to take it somewhere else for that one.
Apple won't do it for you.
A friend of mine just got his IPHONE 4 changed to a woodgrain look.....
It looks good

In Find my iphone apps. I can see that my other iphone is online but location services off. How do you do that?

You'll have to turn location services on in order to track it on a map. To do this, go to Settings>Privacy>Location Services.

Lost my Itouch month ago. Tried finding using find my iPhone app. It shows your device is off line. Will play sound or notify when online. Can I locate the position or location of my Itouch without connections to wifi or even if it's switched off or betters is total drained off

No, FindMyiPhone only only reports it current position

No app is required.

You can't. If its offline it can't be tracked. The device needs to be powered on and connected to an Internet connection to be trackable.

"Apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe" when setting up Find My iPhone app

Okay, folks, spent some time with MobileMe support via chat this morning. This is what I've learned. Apparently you CANNOT use an Apple ID, regardless of what format it's in (usually a full email address) AS LONG AS IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH A MOBILE ME (ME.COM ADDRESS) ACCOUNT THAT IS CLOSED OR NO LONGER ACTIVE. Unfortunately, there is no way to disassociate the two and there is no way the old MobileMe (me.com address) account can be deleted.
Apparently, I had some issue when I was trying out the MobileMe for the trial period many months ago and for some reason couldn't use my primary Apple ID (my primary email address), so I created a me.com address for the MobileMe account. Eventually, I cancelled the MobileMe account because the cost wasn't justified for the features it offered. Unfortunately, that association with my primary Apple ID is permanent and THAT is the source of the "This Apple ID canot be used for MobileMe" error. Or at least that's ONE reason for it.
The solution? Create a completely new, separate Apple ID using a valid email address from which you can receive a verification email. The address is NOT used to receive any further emails from Apple. Only to create logon credentials. Do NOT associate this email address with your current/primary Apple ID or any other Apple ID. This is what you use to set up Find My iPhone/iPad, etc. using the MobileMe setup in Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars as well as the Find My iPhone App (plus it's your logon to the MobileMe Find My iPhone web page).
When you log in to the MobileMe page, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR APPLE ID IF IT'S A FULL EMAIL ADDRESS: apparently, the ID field automatically tries to change it to "[email protected]" instead of your "[email protected]". Just check it before and after you enter your Apple ID password and submit.
I did this and it works. Find My iPhone app and service works beautifully. Spotted my iPad right where I'm at on a map. I sent a message to my iPad via the service (which also offers the option to play a sound, lock the device or even wipe the device).
I hope this information helps SOMEONE.
Oh...interesting footnote: I was informed that APPLE IDs CANNOT BE DELETED. Even if you create a "test" Apple ID (like I did during our troubleshooting session) with some barely used email account using a weak password. That means, regardless of whether you use it or not for MobileMe/Find My iPhone, you really, really need to give it a SECURE password (if you're going to keep that email account alive). So yeah, there are a lot of dormant Apple IDs floating around out there!

I agree.
I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
running out of options it seems.
Any idea on the best solution?
Thank you!

Is it possible to cancel a remote erase command set in the Find my iPhone app?

I have recently been reunited with my 17" MacBook Pro by the police after it was lost.
To cut a long story short I initiated the "erase mac" element as I thought I wouldnt be seeing my MacBook again.
Sooooo........... now having the computer in my possession again, I d like to know if there is anyway that I can either:
     1. Stop the erase command from initiating?
or
     2. Recover the relatively small amount of information that has not been backed up (due to travelling) possibly by
          turning my network connection off and taking off before connecting to the internet again?
I ve contacted Apple Support and they have advised that (1) is not possible as far as they (the operator spoken with)
are concerned, but (2) was a very good question that they have had no training on or information available about.
As such, thought I would ask the Guru's here to see what are the possibilities, or have I just got to bite the bullet and
accept the losses?
I wondered if the erase command can be sent via an unauthorised network connection such as when wifi looks up what
networks are available??
I ve not turned the MBP on since getting it back and am assuming, as there is no notification from the Find my iPhone app
that it has been located that way, that it has not had network access if it has been turned on at any time since I activated
the locate and erase facility.
Many thanks for you kind attention and hopefully positive response.   :-)
Kind regards
Bob

There is one way you can try... it should work in theory. It's called Target Disk Mode. What this does is that you have to connect your computer to another Mac and your computer will show up on the other Mac as an external hard drive. You can then transfer everything to the other Mac.
Here is where its going to get complicated. You would need another Mac. Since you said your MacBook Pro is a 17" then you still have the old FireWire ports. You need to find out what kind of FireWire port it is (400 or 800). Get a FireWire cable (it's going to be hard nowadays but try Amazon, eBay, Newegg). You might need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter is the other Mac only has Thunderbolt ports.
Once you plugged the computers in with the right cable. Turn the other computer on first then turn yours on with the "T" key down. That will enable Target Disk Mode. (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10725)
