Find my iphone doesn't work anymore

iOS six appears to have broken the Find my iPhone functionality. All it says is 'appears offline' when I try to find my wife's phone. Is it because FMI depends on map functionality? Both of our phones are iPhone 4's.
Please Apple, FIX the crummy maps. It's still horrible. And fix the finding function too.
My iPhone has become an embarrasement now.
When I pull out my iPhone in public, I feel like I'm pulling out a 2000 Motorola Razr.

Nick,
We're users here, just like you. Appealing directly to Apple not only is a waste of time (Apple is NOT here), but it really makes you look like a fool.
In order for a phone to be locatable with "Find my Phone", it needs to be on, have location services enabled, have the Find my Phone feature enabled, signed into an iCloud account, have the SIM card installed, and be activated. If ANY of these are not enabled, the phone can't be located.

Iphone doesn't work anymore

Hello, since this morning my Iphone does not open. When I came back home tonight I tried to charge my Iphone 4, to apple came into the screen but stay there forever. Sometime the phone shut down but after it restart and do the same thing. I've tried to do a hard reset but when my iphone is restoring, it shut down and it his write that there have been an error and that my computer can't find my Iphone anymore so the hard reset doen't work. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Did you do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears?
If you tried a "hard reset" did you follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and do a restore using the recovery mode?

Find my iPhone doesn't work

After having my first iPhone stolen, I decided to try the app "Find my iphone" on my friend's loaner iPhone 3GS to see how and if it really works.
When I turned it on, I ensured that these were all setup:
- Location Services: ON
- Find My iPhone: ON
- Cellular Data: ON (3 Bars Service at the time)
- WiFi: ON and connected to the router
- Internet utilizing apps: ON and in use
Doing all this, I went to iCloud.com and decided to locate the phone, and test out the Find my iPhone feature. After 5 attempts to locate and 1 attempt to send the phone a message, it still came up as "No Location" and then "Offline".
I was browsing the internet on iPhone's Safari App, while these "finding attempts" were going on. What a miserable fail.
Now I'm wondering if whoever stole my iPhone 4S is actually browsing the internet and having a wonderful time while I sit here miserable, thinking that this feature actually provided a service that I could use to find my phone. Appears to me, through my experience, that this is a total fluke.
My sister's Droid actually has a phone finding app that works. It was very disappointing to hear that her non-Apple product topped the abilities of my iPhone 4S. As much as it hurts, I actually decided that I will switch to that new Samsung sIII in the following week. I feel like I got jipped by my favorite company

I am having the same issue. I have 3 iPhones in the house and I just lost one.
I hit find my iPhone and it found two of them immediately.
The missing one did not show and said it was offline. I tried to play sounds and I hit lock.
When I finally found it was in the house, full battery, full signal etc and wifi signal. By this time I havd searched other proeprties and got frineds searching for it.
I then put it in the same room as the other one, only a few feet from the router, so absolutely no connection issues.
I hit find it - got offline!
I hit play sound - no sound
I hit lock - nothing happened!
It did play a sound about 25 minutes later!
So karup.meyyappan you are not alone!
I checked out the troubleshooting page and there was nothing there that I had not tried. I am not whingeing - just want to know what is wrong so that if I do have a serious incident, I am ready!

Find my iPhone doesn't Work on my 3GS - It Works Perfectly on my iPad2

I just got phone support from apple France where I am located for now but they could not solve the problem. Here are the main Problem elements :
1/ Purchased iPhone 3GS in France for use worldwide with on my Chinese Telco SIM ( CHINA MOBILE ) as I live in China
2/ Purchased iPad2 Wifi in same Location.
3/ Installed Mobile Me account on iPhone and iPad
4/ Installed Find my iPhone on iPhone and iPad without problems and started the Find my Mobile Page on my PC.
5/ iPad2 immediately located by app but iPhone NOT located
6/ Tweaked all possible settings in my iPhone to ensure Mobile Me works to no avail ( 3G and Wifi enabled and working, Mobile Me installed, logged in and running )
7/ Thought about ONE possible cause for the app not working : CHINA MOBILE may not allow positioning and it does NOT support 3G functionality on iPhone.
8/ Removed Chinese SIM and placed French one : does NOT work either.
9/ iOS on both Devices most current : 4.3.5
So; I'm looking for a solution to this.
Thanks,
Dieter,

My Iphone doesn't work anymore

I have a Iphone which worked perfectly until I moved a couple of months ago. It doesn't recognizes any card (I have prepaid now, does that matter?)
I used to live in the Netherlands but moved to Belgium.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

Your phone is carrier locked to T-Mobile in the Netherlands. It will not work on any other carrier's network(including any T-Mobile network) in any other country other than T-Mobile in the Netherlands. To use your phone in Belgium would require being on "Roaming" from T-Mobile in the Netherlands or having your phone officially unlocked from T-Mobile in the Netherlands. That's why your phone doesn't work, you can't put any other sim in the phone. Having finished your contract has nothing to do with whether your phone is carrier locked or not.

Find my iPhone doesn't work/weird iTunes issues

So I authorized my wife's computer to play a few old DRM'd songs from my iTunes account on her computer. I also transfered over a couple games I bought for my iPhone as part of that authorization. Now suddenly when she tries to make an iTunes purchase on her phone it pulls up my account. Also when she tries to use find my iPhone it says no phone is registered to that account, yet I know I turned it on on her phone. So my guess is it thinks her iPhone is under my itunes account...yet I can't find that anywhere on the phone or in iTunes (iTunes still shows her iTunes account).
Any thoughts?

i have had the same problem as all of the above. I have tried restoring on two machines, used two different cables, re-installed itunes on both. I have deleted every apple program and then re-installed it. I spoke to apple support yesterday who got me to create a new user on windows and login to that and it still is not working. I am going to tray a face to face with apple store to see if they cannot sort it out.

"Find my iphone" doesn't work properly

I'm having some real issues trying to find my IPhone that is in a specific location. It seems like it is totally whacking out bouncing back and forth from one location to another location 3 miles away then back to the original location. This is fairly consistent, however there are times when the GPS says it's in between locations. Then it will show the IPhone in a lake 600 feet away from where it was originally tracked.
I can track the IPhone anywhere else and it is very accurate except this particular location. It seems like the phone is moving and yet I'm not sure. There is commerce and power lines nearby. When I go to the second location away from all the junk it is consistent with the second location 3 miles away. Then when I move back to the initial location it jumps back. BTW, I did turn the WI-FI on and everything is set up correctly. What is going on???

Upload .raw pictures from Adobe Photoshop 9 via iTunes to iPhone doesn't work anymore

Hi,
some months ago I suddenly weren't able to upload Canon .raw Pictures from PSE 9 via iTunes on my iPhone. Before PSE converted them automatically when uploading to iPhone. I tried to update my PSE (Canon .raw update), but any time I try I receive an error (error while downloading update).
Any ideas? Does it work with a newer version of PSE?
Thanks,
Stieze

Did you do a restart, then if still not responiding then you need to do a restore through itunes.

I lost my phone while it was turned off, so find my iphone doesn't work. Is there anyway that Apple have a failsafe where they can turn the iPhone on so it shows up. The phone hasn't been turned on since I lost it and while I was on the way to the airport

It happened on the way to the airport. I went for my pocket when we were checking in and it wasn't there. I'd turned it off to save battery for the flight and when we got home I checked the house and it wasn't there. I think it may have fallen out in the taxi but we called them and the driver driver said he couldn't find anything. It hasn't been turned on since I last turned it on. But I was wondering can Apple remotely turn my phone on in any way possible?

There is no way of communicating with a phone which is switched off, therefore there is no way to tell it to turn itself on.

My iphone doesn't work anymore because he can charge

mon iphone 5 ne charge plus.. la prise n'est plus detecté quelqu'un sait comment arranger sa ??

You only need to bring the phone itself. You do not need to bring chargers or accessories, as they only replace the phone. You do not need to bring a receipt, as they can look up your serial number if necessary.

The speaker of my phone doesn't work anymore. I can only make a phone call with a headset or when I put my phone on the speaker. What's wrong?

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
How can I restore it without the last update?
Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ricoco,
I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.
