Hating the temperature feature. I believe I left my phone on top of my car on a 30' degree day. It got taken or is lost somewhere and shut itself down like its suppose to. But now the "find my iPhone" app is useless!!How do I get my phone turned back on?

I need to find out a way to turn my phone on. Is there anyway the apple or my service provider can help me with this? What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days. Please help.

No.
"What is the point of the app if it only works when the phone is on? "
The pont is to assist with locating a lost iphone.
"Then it is only usefull within those first couple of days."
Correct. How would any device be tracked if it had no power?
Very sorry for your situation, but there is nothing to do.
Report it to the police and change your passwords.

Ive tried multiple ways of finding my ipod. The find my iphone app is not even showing my ipod. Not sure if there is any other ways to find it??? I have the serial number and all info for the ipod. Help!

Assuming you had Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings of the device, it will show only if it has a connection to the internet.
What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen

Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

I have the find my iphone app and I lost my phone and want to use it but how?

I think I still have like 4.2.2 features, but I know I downloaded it to my phone I'm at work but now I don't know how to make the app work from my work computer. Is the iCloud account like the apple or iTunes account?
iCloud is Apple's new online service, replacing mobileme - http://www.apple.com/icloud/. The web account page is https://www.icloud.com/
Find my iPhone is a feature of iCloud - http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html
And again, the downloadable app has nothing to do with making your iPhone discoverable by find my iphone. The app is used by a device to find another device which has had the trackable feature enabled in its iCloud account settings. Simply having the app on a device does NOT make that device trackable. In order to be able to find a device, you need to have an iCloud account on that device, and you need to enable the find-my-iPhone setting under that account - nothing to do with the app at all.

Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
Regards.

Did you have Find My iPhone enabled on your iPhone in its settings? If so, go to www.icloud.com and use your Apple iCloud ID to use the Find My iPhone app.

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on. ???

My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'. Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6. I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works. Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline. Any suggestions. It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

Does she have her own iCloud account? You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone". So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account. Is that what happened in your case?

I lost my iphone 4, but I found it using the find my iphone app on another apple device. But before I did this I erased all the data from my phone. When I try to reactivate it I am asked to unlock my sim but there is nowhere for me to enter the pin.

I lost my Iphone 4, but I was able to find it using the find my Iphone app on another apple device. However, when I try to actiavte it, I am asked to enter a PIN to unlock my SIM. But, I don't know where to enter the PIN. Please help me. Thankyou.

Contact your cell provider.

HT4759 My iPad was lost. I am using the Find my iPhone app, but it is not showing there (though the iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online. You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords.

Forgot my iPad passcode, but must disable the Find My iPhone app

I forgot my iPad passcode, but am being to prompted to disconnect the Find My iPhone app first....but need a the passcode [reset] first (go figure)

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.
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

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.

Normally, you d want to connect to computer, iphone had been synced with previously. If computer does not exist you may have to enter phone in recovery mode, just search youtube for iphone recovery.
