Hi -
I downloaded Apple's free "Find My iPhone" app and would appreciate help getting it to work. I don't have a paid Mobile Me account, but I understand I can set up a free account to use the app. I signed up for the free MobileMe account in the iPhone 4's settings, and signed into it using my Apple ID. It seemed to work except that, when I went to sign into the app, I got an alert saying that my MobileMe account had not yet been verified, and I should check my Mobile Me email. The problem is, I can't seem to get the the mail screen. When I go to the Mobile Me sign-in page and enter my Apple ID, all I get is an alert saying that no device has been registered. Can anyone provide any help with this? Thanks very much for your help.

  • Help with "Find my iPhone" app if phone is on silent/ringer off *and* offline???:///

    Help! I've lost my iPhone-pretty sure around the house but I am visiting family and about to fly back across country. It is a 4S, I'm fairly certain wifi is turned off as well as cellular data...but I am not 100% positive, but using the app Find my iPhone has been useless since the "sound" can not be heard and the app can not locate it "offline"...anyway Siri can be made to turn the volume up from something? The apple tech guys or anything? Turn the cellular data back on?? Gahhhh helppppp!! Thanks!

    Selecting "Play a Sound" works regardless of the position of the mute switch.  The phone being offline is different.  With no network to connect to (either WiFi or Cellular), find my phone will not work.  So, if your phone battery is depleted, you will not be able to use find my phone. 
    Sorry.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

    You need to download the free Find my iPhone application from the App Store.

  • 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.

    How can I locate my lost iPhone 5 with find my iPhone app ? Plus someone tried accessing my apple I'd on FaceTime on an unknown number related to iPhone 5 is this who's got my phone and can I track a number ?

    If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page.  On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.  Note:  The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
    If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

  • I've lost my iPod Touch. Should I erase everything off of it? And if I do, would I still be able to locate it with 'Find my iPhone' app?

    I've lost my iPod Touch. Should I erase everything off of it? And if I do, would I still be able to locate it with 'Find my iPhone' app?

    If you want to track it, then put it in Lost Mode. If you erase it then you can't track it.

  • Can someone sell my iphone after I wiped it with find my iphone app?

    Lost my phone, wanted to know if someone can use my iphone after I erased and locked it with the Find My Iphone App???

    Unless you deleted it from your Apple ID account the phone will remain locked to your Apple ID, so unless someone who has your phone knows your Apple ID and password the phone is useless to them.

  • Locked Mac with Find My iPhone app

    So I used the "find my iPhone app" to lock my MacBook Air and it says the code is incorrect that I entered on the app. I am 100% sure of the code I typed in but it isn't working. How can I fix this?

    the lock screen you are seeing is not the Find my phone remote lock screen but the firmware password screen. Preventing unauthorised access to Start up options. Restart normally and see what happens.
    If you get the same message, boot with the options key again and choose Recovery 10.9. Once booted open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions and Disk.
    Restart.
    Failing this you could be looking at booting again and reinstalling OS X either from a Time Machine backup or a fresh install.
