Find My iPhone won't launch

I have Find My iPhone app on the iPhone and iPad and PC. It will launch from PC and "finds" both devices. But clicking on icon on the device does not launch the app. All devices have same Apple ID and all have iOS-5. It all worked before I migrated to iCloud. I see no way to reinstall app because it shows up as "installed"

nevermind. somehow the Mobile Me account needed to be reset & its working now.

Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

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 help

wjosten 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.

Find my iPhone won't work with locked iPhone or iPad screen?

Okay,
I was showing a friend how cool "find my iphone" is and used the "Play Sound or Send Message" button to show her how it could find my iPad. A few seconds later the iPad starts beeping in my backpack. I open it up expecting to see a message "Oops, left my iPad at coffee shop, please call me at ______", but instead saw "Enter Passcode" box, which appears to cover the message I sent.
If I "cancel" the "enter passcode" box, I can see the message, but what with all the loud radar sounds I don't know that someone picking it up for the first time would think to do that. Is this the way it is supposed to work? What is the point in being able to send a message to a stranger who won't be able to read it because s/he doesn't know my passcode, and probably won't think to "cancel" the passcode box so s/he can see the hidden message behind it?

I have checked all of these settings and they are turned on. I think it must have something to do with iCloud...maybe there is a conflict in the account settings?

Find my iphone won't load on my pc?

I have the app find my iphone on my computer and phone, but when I lost my phone the app wouldn't work on my pc.

You need to run it through Apple's iCloud site.

Find My iPhone won't work from safari

Hello,
I'm trying to use "Find My iPhone" from safari 5.0 an MacOS X 10.6.3, but It doesn't work.
The iPhone localization works fine, but if I try to use the "Display a Message" button, when I push the send button I get an alert window saying: "Your Find My iPhone session has expired. For security reasons, you have been automatically logged out of Find My iPhone. Your last action was not completed. Log in and try again. MobileMe requires you to log in to Find My iPhone every 15 minutes." and then I'm asked endlessly to login.
I have emptied the cache and reset safari, but with no success for Find My iPhone.
All works fine, instead, if I use Firefox.
Moreover, If I switch user (to root) then "Find my Iphone" works fine from safari. But the installed plugins are the same for the two users. There are no plugins in "~/Library/Internet Plugins".
What's the matter?

HI,
Find My iPhone" in the ~/Library/Internet Plugins folder.
MobileMe / Find My iPhone *is not a plugin.*

If you need to restore your phone but can't turn off Find My iPhone, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Find my iphone won't work on my iphone 4s

The app downloads fine, but when I try to sign in with my valid Apple ID and password, it gives me the following message: "The Apple ID or password you entered is incorrect."
Help?

The above page will give you all the information you require to set up find my iphone!
Make sure you enable location services with in settings, as well as the find my iphone option is turned on in the iphone by going to settings> iCloud> find my iPhone and flip it to on. It may take a few moments to kick in, but eventually that should work!
You also want to make sure your Apple ID is verified! Basically, if it is the Apple ID account you used for iCloud, you want to make sure you went to the verification Email, and followed the instructions. If your Apple ID is not verified, it will give you some hassle in the future! If you are not sure if it is verified, you can go to :
appleid.apple.com
Than go to the "Find out" section, type in your info, and it will send you the verification email!

Find my iPhone won't work with OS 4.3.1

Just now found out both my iphone and my wife's (which was stolen last night) can't be located using Mobile Me (and the app "find iphone"). It worked great when I set it up - that was while the phones used OS 4.2 - I upgraded to the 4.3 the last time I synced to my iTunes account... Never thought of checking to see if the MobileMe account was enabled (why should I have to...) The account must have been deleted when I upgraded. I didnt realize tht until last night when I tried to use the locate feature, it found both of my kid's iPod touch's, but did not locate either iPhone. Now I re-install, it shows as "ON" but yet neither phone can be located...
Very Frustrating especially that her phone was stolen - I thought great Ill just find out where it is, report it...
Anyone else out there experience this too???

Try again - go to the Apple store to do the download, opt to save rather than install. Not sure what computer you have, on a PC go to the downloads folder and click on the iTunes exe file and then install it.
If that does not work then you will need to uninstall all Apple components and reinstall. If you do have to do this, follow the instructions in this support document to the letter as the order of deletion is important.

IPhone won't launch my applications

My downloaded applications no longer launch. When I click on them they open up for 2 seconds but then fail and it quickly sends me back to desktop.
The basic apps work like calendar, weather etc. Just the ones downloaded.

i had same problem after routine syncing and inadvertently upgrading to OS4 in itunes.
all apps now working, all i did was restart phone as follows:
hold down both the home button and the on/off button top right of phone.
Ignore the closing down slider and continue to hold until the apple icon comes up
release buttons and allow phone to restart.
got this tip from a google search
Still stuck with OS4 which seems ok but is slow to start up.
Hope this works for you.

How can I get my friends tracker to work on find my iPhone when my tracker on the other device won't find me?

My friends tracker on find my iPhone won't track me when it's on and she already refreshed the page multiple times and I'm not popping up on the tracker.

Are you saying you're using your friends iphone to use findmyiphone to track your phone?
If so did you set up findmyiphone in icloud settings on your phone?

My ex has my iPhone 4. I loaned it to her, now she's keeping it and has her pass code on the lock screen. I froze the acct with Bell, but want to remote wipe the phone. Not sure if she has iCloud on but she might have Find My IPhone on. Advice to wipe?

Help... My ex has my iPhone 4 that I lent her. I kept the phone on my Cell phone service provider because of her bad credit. She turned out to be quite the lunatic, and it took the police to get her out of my home. What a nightmare. She still has my phone with her own pass code on the lock screen. I froze the service provider acct, so she can't call with it or use data unless she gets her own account. However she can still access many of my contacts I left on there. She also gets apps that I download onto my iPhone 5. She can't download apps herself because she has no apple account. Mine is still on there. She doesn't know my password. She does still get copies of my apps though. I tried to stop that when we were still together in a relationship but didn't succeed. Do I need to creat a new apple account, or just change the account name to stop her from getting the apps? Can I remote wipe the phone if the iCloud functions are set to off on that phone, but maybe the Find My IPhone is still turned on? She has mental disorders and a mean streak. Does anyone have advice or ideas???

Apparently "find my iPhone" won't work unless I restart her cell service, which I can easily do. I think she might need her phone powered on too for me to trace it and wipe it. She forgot her charger here and has no service on it, so won't have it on much. Maybe I can change my Apple ID altogether? As long as the new Apple ID doesn't somehow automatically go to her phone.

My new iPad has the wrong iCloud account (restored an old backup from previous iPad). It's pointing to an account that no longer exists and now I can't delete it because I can't log into it. Find my iPhone wants me to log in before deleting the account.

I have an old iPad2, and received a new iPad Air. When I set up the iPad Air, I started as a backup from the iPad2, instead of treating it as a new iPad setup. It also asked if I wanted to set up Find My iPhone and I said yes. Problem is that I also (previously) changed the primary email address on my iCloud account, but never changed the iCloud setup on my iPad. So now the iPad Air has iCloud pointing to the email address as the account name. I want to just delete this account and enter the new email, but Find My iPhone won't let me - it asks for my password first. Problem is, it won't accept the correct password because the primary email has changed.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost
