Find my iphone don't see my phone
Hello,
I have problem with Find My iPhone on iPhone 4 7.0.4
When I logged in icloud, I was activate Find my iPhone, turn on notification, but when I log in icloud.com, Fmi don't see my device, why?
Is possible that earlier owner delete this phone from find my iphone and I can't see him?
Thank You,
Regards
well one thing you should know is that its never a good idea to buy an iphone from a place other then apple, because things like this can happen. But another thing you could try is to do a factory reset and that should clear everything off that the previous owner had on there but it will get rid of your stuff to so make sure you backed it up

If you don't have Find My iPhone on, you can't lock it. You should report it to your carrier and your carrier might blacklist the phone from use. -
I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?
No...see the link I posted:
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. -
I have an IPhone 4, and I wanted to reset it, but couldn't do it via computer because the "find my IPhone" was turned on. So I went to ICloud > Find My IPhone and just erased my phone from there. The was acting weird but I finally got to a black screen with the spinning circle. And it won't advance. I can't just hold the sleep button and home button down because my sleep button is broken! Any help? I have reset my phone before.

When downloading "find my iPhone" app on my husbands phone-it deleted ALLhis data. There is no iCloud backup, what happened? And is there anything I can do to get it back? He lost all his photos.
Hey!
I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
SIGHHH. -

Find my iPhone won't see my Mac's
As above, Find my iPhone won't see my Mac's it will see my Iphone and Ipad but for some reason it will not see the Macs. Yes they are enabled all I get on the F M Ip screen is no location. Do I have to switch on location services somewhere and if so where.
Thanks for your helpwjosten and other experts,
I have to turn "airplane mode on and off" to make the "find my iphone" work each time I start my iphone. But it only lasts 30 minutes or so. (with the iphone being switched on continuously) Then FMiP will stop working until I repeat turning on and off the airplane mode again. This sequence needs to be repeated after each 30 minutes or so.
Is there any fix available for this problem? A friend said Apple has issued iphone software v 3.3 in Japan but I cannot find it here in Canada.
Thanks. -
24 hours after setting the erase button on the Find My iPhone option in iCloud the phone was still not erased. Does this function work in a timely fashion?
No. It functions when connected to the Internet.

Mac and iPhone don't see each other
This isn't just with Home Sharing, but with other apps that use wifi to connect, specifically iAccounts and iBackup, but I couldn't find a more appropriate community.
My iPhone and MacBook Pro are connected to the same wifi network, one has 192.168.1.64, the other is 192.168.1.65, both can connect to the internet with no problems, both have full signal strength. So why can't they see each other? Sometimes it works, when everything is turned off then back on again, but sometimes that doesn't work. Last time it worked only after I reset my router, which suggests maybe the router is the problem. It's a BT HomeHub 3, which probably doesn't mean much to most of you, so give me general advice. What settings should I look at? Could it have something to do with my Mac connecting via 802.11 N and my iPhone 802.11 G? It's a 3GS, so it can't do N.
Both Mac and iPhone have the latest OS (10.6.8 and 4.3.3).I stumbled upon the answer by searching other (non-apple support) sites for this problem. Apparently (and non-intuitively), "personal hotspot" (aka internet tethering) must first be enabled before attempting to establish a BT link. The reason I say non-intuitive is:
Firstly, bluetooth is supposed to be a stand-alone wireless networking protocol that doesn't require another wireless network to be available for it to work. What other sort of device (computer or otherwise) requires an existing network to be in place before BT will work?
Secondly, if tethering via personal hotspot is a prerequisite for a BT link, why is there no pop-up message advising of this when BT is turned on? Something like "Hey idiot, you need to turn on personal hotspot before you can establish a bluetooth link!" Or better yet, why not automatically turn on the hotspot when the BT button is switched on?
Thirdly, it really makes the BT shortcut button (in the home screen control center) worthless if you've still got to manually drill down into the settings menu to turn on hotspot anyway.
I scrubbed all apple user support articles related to using BT and pairing the iPhone with iPad that I could find to make sure I hadn't missed this new requirement somewhere - and I don't see it mentioned anywhere (although I'll admit that steam was coming out of my ears while I read it, so I may not have been in the best frame of mind to catch any new information). In the BT troubleshooting article, it mentions every check-this and check-that step but nowhere does it say make sure that personal hotspot is also turned on! I submitted feedback at the bottom of the article; hopefully they'll update it.
Thanks, Lyssa for bearing with me through all of this, which in the end turned out to be a user error. Although I consign myself to some comfort in knowing that this is not how it worked prior to iOS8. And as soon as I can find a phone on iOS7 or older, I'll confirm that. -
I Lost my phone at the office building with more than 10different company and thousands of employees. since no one returned the phone and the device was already turned off i tried logging in and use find my iphone to send a message. But after days since no one is returning it i tried putting passcode on lock mode... And who would have thought that after a week someone will call me and told me that she will return the phone. But unfortunately i forgot the lock code so i cant use it. I dont want to restore it since my photos and videos are not sync to my itunes. if only theres a way that it would only just require my apple id and not the 4 digit code
There's no way to unlock it without restoring it.

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How do I add another iPhone to my Find my iPhone app (my wife's phone)?
While pretty explanatory in the question, the problem is this: I'd like to add my wife's phone to my Find my iPhone app and mine to her's so we can not just track each other but the other's phone in the event of a loss or theft. My products are already added. We're just seeing if we can do this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
The app will automatically show devices that are have Find My iPhone enabled, and are using the iCloud account that the app is signed into. If your wife's phone is using a different iCloud account, you'll have to sign out, then sign back in using her ID to view it.

Restoring phone, need to switch off Find My iphone, but can't access phone
Whilst updating IOS7 my phone crashed. I reset it and successfully managed to restore to backup. Everything was working fine until it asked for a passcode. I entered the last passcode I was using but it won't accept it. I've tried to restore again however iTunes is telling me that Find my iPhone needs to be switched off before it will do the restore, and this is done via the settings on the phone - which I can't access because I don't know the passcode.
The Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with this. Deleting the Find My iPhone app which is used to find another iOS device or Mac computer you own or for someone else to find their iPhone or iOS device with your iPhone does not turn off Find My iPhone with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
