Does anyone know how to "find my iphone" without iOS or iCloud?

Does anyone know how to "find my iphone" without iOS or iCloud? I downloaded the app, but am unable to locate it as I do not have icloud or iOS.

you have made many question about how to find your iphone without icloud or didn't download the app "find my iphone",I‘m sorry to say,you can't find back you iphone unless the miracle happened,god bless you .你已经写了很多关于如何找到没有开启icloud服务，而且也没有应用“find my iphone"的IPHONE手机，那我很遗憾的告诉你，除非奇迹出现，否则是不可能的，上帝保佑你！
BTW：my iphone also got lost yesterday。另外，我的IPHONE昨天也丢了……伤心……

New Find my iPhone for iOS

A heads-up.

Since it hasn't been released yet, anyone who knows would not be able to comment as they're still bound by an NDA.

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

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.

HT1212 My phone is disabled. I tried to restore it, but it says to turn off "Find My iPhone". I can't turn it off because I cant' access the phone?

I am unable to restore my iphone, because it has become disabled. When I go to restore, it says to turn off "Find My iPhone" app. I can't, because it is disabled. I deleted the app and it still says the same thing. Any ideas?

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

Besides "Find my iPhone", are there any other ways to track?

Hello,
So some tool stole my phone right out of the locker room today. This dude turned the phone off as soon as he could, so all I have is "offline" displaying next to the phone in "Find my iPhone". Is there anything else I can do to track it? It's 2014 and we're dealing with the most advanced smartphone on the market right now.
Thanks so much,
Johnathan

The good news is that with Find My iPhone and iOS 7, the device will be protected by Activation Lock. Go ahead and enable Lost Mode via icloud.com and Find My iPhone, and you can enter a custom message as well. Even if he restores the device 'as new' via iTunes, he won't be able to bypass iOS 7's Activation Lock.

Verifying "Find My iPhone" in iOS4 Help.

I can't get my MobileMe account verified for "Find My iPhone" in iOS 4. I've followed the steps Apple provided but under Mail, Contacts, Calendars > MobileMe it still says "Not verified".
#1 - I've followed the steps provided by Apple, entered my valid Apple ID and password and it successfully added the account.
#2 - It sent the verification email and I waited about 30mins and still no email from Apple.
#3 - I clicked the "Resend Verification Email" button and finally received the email.
#4 - I clicked the "Verify Now" link in the email and it told me my account has been verified but under Mail, Contacts, Calendars > MobileMe it still says "Not verified".
Now I can't get the email to send back to my account. Even though it says my Apple ID has been verified the account under Settings doesn't reflect it.

Add me to the list with this exact issue.
Years old Apple ID (email address) is verified in every place and way according to Apple, but the new Find My iPhone Free feature through MobileMe says "not verified."
I received one email verification on initial setup, but since MobilMe account still thinks it's not, I haven't been able to receive any further verification emails when resending.
The issue is the same on both my iPhone4 and iPad. Just sayin'.
Have deleted the account and recreated. Resend verification gets me nothing. Powered down. Logged out of anything Apple related on every possible device, no joy.
Support chat this morning had no solution. Escalated the case and said they would email me later.

Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible. The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time. If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
Can somebody else confirm this could be done?

Good day,

Just tested this. You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase. You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

I lost my iphone4 yesterday..i have find my iphone apps in there and its updated to IOS 5. i wonder if they would be able to still access my accounts in there after i remote locked it.? its offline whenever i checked till now..

I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device.

I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. Whenever I try to use it, it always says "All Devices Offline." This is regardless of whether I am in a good Wi-Fi zone or not. I like to use Find My iPhone to remotely track my battery charging status whenever my phone is charging in a different room. That's been really handy, which is why I really need to get this fixed. No matter what computer I use, the problem is always the same.
My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device, especially considering the bad things I've heard about iOS 8.
Feedback would be welcome ASAP.

You don't need to update to iOS 8 to use Find My iPhone. If you haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone and turn it off, then reset your phone (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release). After it restarts, turn Find My iPhone back on and see if it works properly now.

IOS 7 Only Allows Find My iPhone with Primary iCloud Account

While iOS7 may be a big leap forwards in most respects, the "Find my iPhone" feature has taken a big step in reverse. This useful feature is NO LONGER AVAILABLE for use with secondary iCloud accounts, ONLY your PRIMARY account.
This may not be a huge concern for most users, because many (including most first-tier tech reps at Apple I've spoken to) seem to believe that you can only have one iCloud account on a device. NOT TRUE. While you can only have one PRIMARY account, you can add multiple additional iCloud EMAIL accounts (go to Settings/Mail, Contacts & Calendars/Add Account/iCloud). In the last iOS, once you created a new, secondary iCloud email address, you could activate many iCloud features for use with the new account, including Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, Safari Data (which never actually worked), and Find My iPhone. Under iOS7, however, Find My iPhone is no longer available. Instead, a small paragraph below the new iCloud email account setup screen says "Only your main account can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Backup, and Find My iPhone."
Consider two cases where this is a huge problem.
1) We have a large number of company iOS devices that we need to keep track of.
2) Personally, I have an iPhone and iPad, and so does my wife. So do our kids!
In both the above cases, we created a secondary iCloud account, we'll call it "[email protected]", and added it as a secondary iCloud email address on ALL our iOS devices. In the setup screen we disabled everything EXCEPT "Find My iPhone". This account has a unique password, making it possible to see the location of ANY OR ALL the devices using the Find My iPhone App, WITHOUT having to share email, contacts, calendars, etc. among all these devices.
In our company, I can tract the location of any iOS device I gave to an employee, but his personal PRIMARY iCloud account is used to keep his mail, contacts, calendars, etc. secure. He shares this data between his iPhone and iPad, but NOT with everyone else. In my family, we all have our own primary iCloud accounts. I share mine between my iPhone and iPad; my wife and kids do the same. This allows us to keep our calendars, contacts, emails, etc. separated. But we all used the secondary iCloud email account ONLY with Find My iPhone. This allowed everyone in the family to see the location of everyone else, very nice in an emergency. Unlike the Find My Friends app, the device being located doesn't have to respond to a request to be found (very important when finding a lost or stolen device).
In both the above cases, we just log into the Find My iPhone APP on ANY iOS device, using the secondary iCloud account's email address and password (the email address is actually saved in the app, so you really only need to enter the password after the initial login). Viola! You can now see the location of any device that has that secondary iCloud account installed. And a person can still be untrackable if they wish, simply by turning off the Find My iPhone feature under the shared account's iCloud account settings on their device.
Alas, with iOS7 this is no longer possible. With the Find My iPhone feature only available for use with the device's PRIMARY iCloud account, there are only two ways to track another device:
1) Use the same primary iCloud account (which forces you to share other data and features you may not want to);
2) Log into the Find My iPhone APP with the PRIMARY iCloud email address and password of the person you want to track.
Either way, the person doing the tracking MUST have access to the PRIMARY iCloud credentials of the device they are tracking. This is a large security hole! Ask yourself: if you are a parent, do you really want your kids to have access to your primary iCloud account, including your mail, contacts, calendars, etc? Some people may not want their spouse to access that. In a company setting, do you want all your employees to be FORCED to share Documents & Data, Backup and Bookmarks, just to use the Find My iPhone feature? If they want to keep their mail, contacts, calendars, etc. separated from other employees, they will be forced to move these to a secondary iCloud account, which will no longer allow them to share Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents & Data or Backup. Why this ridiculous limitation?
The bottom line:Find My iPhone is now only useful for the primary iCloud account holder, and can no longer be used effectively between larger numbers of iOS devices, such as families or corporate institutions. This should be addressed in the next update to the iOS.

Brad, and everyone else, just to clarify my original post that started this thread, and offer a workaround or two: you CAN still locate, erase etc. any iOS device using Find My iPhone in iOS7, but the device you want to track or erase must EITHER use the same PRIMARY iCloud account as you do, OR you must log into the Find My iPhone app on your phone using THEIR primary iCloud account's username and password.
For parents, that's not a big deal, maybe just an annoyance: give your kids their own individual primary iCloud accounts, but you jot down their username and password in their contact info on your phone. Log Into FMI with that and track them.
The real pain is if you as an adult want others to be able to see where you are, WITHOUT also giving them access to your other iCloud info. For then to see you, THEY must either use the same PRIMARY iCloud account as you do, or they must have your username and password to log into the FMI app...which means they cal also see all your other stuff, even if you turn off the FMI feature on your phone. Anything you share with iCloud will be visible to anyone with access to your iCloud account.
For corporate users who want to track and manage company-owned iOS devices without having all of them use the same primary iCould account, this is a big pain. For families, imagine being on a vacation, or experiencing a disaster, accident, etc, where you'd really want everyone to be able to locate each other, even if they are unable to answer their phone or otherwise respond...a very real possibility in today's world. Now not so easy without compromising privacy and security.
I have three workarounds. The first two use Find My iPhone and so require everyone to use the same PRIMARY iCloud account.
1) the simplest thing is to go to your device under Settings/iCloud and toggle off anything you don't want others to see...but if you have multiple devices of your own (say an iphone and an iPad), this prevents you from sharing with yourself. Bummer.
2) It occurred to me today that with iOS6 there was a way to lock out changes to features in Settings. Sure enough, it still works with iOS7. Enabling this feature allow everyone to share the same PRIMARY iCloud account WITHOUT sharing other things you'd like to keep private. Enabling this feature will prevent the person with the device from making any changes to the Accounts on their device (Mail, Contacts, Calendars), so you'll need to think about what features of these accounts you WANT to allow before following the steps below. ALL THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE PERFORMED ON THE OTHER DEVICES IN YOUR FAMILY/COMPANY, not your own.
A) I suggest entering airplane mode in Settings to prevent the device you are working on from downloading any of your iCloud info during this process.
B) Next, be sure YOUR PRIMARY iCloud account is listed on the person's device that you wish to track (kid's employee, etc). Go to Settings/iCloud to check this, and if necessary sign out of their iCloud account here and sign in with your primary iCloud account.
C) Add a second iCloud account using their personal iCloud email address (the one you just deleted as the primary). Set this one to share whatever they need to (their own Mail, contacts, calendars, etc). If they weren't previously using iCloud for anything but tracking and already had their own email account set up, you can omit this step.
D) Now, decide what features of your Primary iCloud account you do NOT want this person to be able to see or use (mail, contacts, calendars, etc). On THEIR DEVICE go to Settings/iCloud, and toggle OFF any of these things, but be sure to leave anything they need to share. A common issue here will be Photos. Since Photo sharing is now ONLY supported with the primary account, I suggest leaving this on, but you can still prevent them from seeing your new photos if needed. Tap the arrow to the right of Photos, and on the next screen toggle off "My Photo Stream", but leave on "Photo Sharing" which allows them to see, create and subscribe to other shared steams, just not your primary photostream. You can instead make this same Photo setting on your device, which has the same result. Or just disable Photos altogether. Whatever setting suits you the best.
Once you have decided which features of your primary iCloud account you'll allow this person to see, BE SURE YOU HAVE ALSO TURNED ON "Find My iPhone" here.
E) Lastly, go to Settings/General/Restrictions. Tap "Enable Restrictions". Enter a new password (twice- this is NOT the same password for the device, but only for locking and unlocking restrictions, so use a new one only you will know). Scroll down to the "Allow Changes" section and tap "Accounts." Tap to place a check next to "Don't Allow Changes". Exit from Settings.
You're done! Repeat the above steps on every device in your family or company you want to track. You will now be able to track all of them at one time using Find My iPhone on your device, from your primary iCloud account, and they will also be able to see your device location, but they will not be able to see any of your information as long as you toggled it off and then locked out account changes under restrictions. Be aware that they will not be able to add, delete or change any Mail accounts unless you unlock the restrictions. But you will likely have their own separate email account on this device (step C above).
3) if this is too much for you to handle, and tracking is your primary concern, in the App Store there is a free app called "Find my Kids - Footprints" . They just released a new iOS7 version which is unrated, but the previous version was reasonable well rated. After a trial it requires an annual subscription (which removes the ads, and it is VERY cheap), but it irks me to pay for a service that I used to get for free. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to do a bit more that the Find my iPhone app as far as tracking...but it can't lock or erase your device. You'd still need to use their primary iCloud account for that. I'm sure we'll be seeing more apps like this in the near future.
Hope this helps.

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
Message was edited by: Knitsu1984 - minor adjustments and re-clarification.

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.
