How am I supposed to use Find My iPhone?

I do not understand how you are supposed to use Find My iPhone, FROM my iPhone.. it doesn't make sense to me.
Shouldn't there be a Find My iPhone app on the Macbook?
Also I have not recieved a verification email for my iCloud Apple ID setup.
It keeps telling me to "Check Email" yet nothing is there...
If you could help me with anything, that would be great.
Thanks..

you use www.icloud.com to serach for your devices from a mac or any pc via webbrowser.
or the find my iphone.app to search for your device from your second device/ a friends device.
If a mac runs 10.7.2 it will also be searchable if  "find my Mac" is activated in icloud preference pane.
Again, you use any Internet-Cafe or a second PC/Mac to seach your lost devices or Macs.

  • How to prevent email when using find my iphone

    Hi there,
    Am I the only that finds the email confirmations annoying when using find my iPhone?
    Is there any way to prevent these emails, or a preference somewhere to turn them off?

    Apple:
         Considering the threads here and on other Internet sites, this is clearly a safety issue.  As a parent who uses this feature on my children's phone - this feature should be optional.  Notifying the bad guy when you are searching for your phone/child is not an option.  Thank you.

  • How would i use 'find my iphone' to locate my husband's ipad?

    My husband and i would like to be able to find each other's device, (iphone 4 and ipad) by using 'find my iphone'. We frequently lose each other.
    How would we set that up?
    Thanks!

    On both devices, go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account (if you haven't already done so), then turn on Find My iPhone.  After doing so, you can track devices by signing in with the iCloud ID that the device you are trying to track is using, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f2442.  You can do this from a computer by going to icloud.com, or from your iOS device by downloading the free Find My iPhone app from the App store.

  • We have two iphones and only one ipad.  We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids.  How do we get our ipad to accept this?

    We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac.  We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones.  How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts?  icloud is enabled on all three devices. 

    Also, be aware of the following:
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

    Easy... you install the Find My iPhone app >  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    You can use that app without iCloud and you don't need a new iPhone.

  • I accidentaly clicked "remove" when using find my iphone...how do I log in when my iphone is not with me to find it?

    i was using "find my iphone" and when given the location it was an old location. A post read that the iphone was either turned off or the wifi was not being used. A remove or cancel  button appears with this message. I accidentally clicked cancel and now when trying to retrive information about the location of my device it says that I must refresh page or set up instructions. There must be a way to reinstate my account without my device physically present but I do not know how...can someone help me?

    What ever device you still have on had.  Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
    I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

    If the iPhone has been taken offline by power-off, disabling 3G/4G and WiFi or erasing data & settings,  It can no longer be located by you.

    so frustrated.

    Well its defintiely nothing that Apple can activate to fix this. They would be able to troubleshoot with you though. This may be able to be resolved if its something software related.

    I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.

    If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • How can I reset the feature find my iPhone after using it?

    I used find my iphone to change the password of my iPad and now that I found it when I try to use it again, it only request the contact phone, how can I reset this feature in case I really lost it? Thanks

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If you haven't got notifications muted then try inserting and removing the headphones again

    How to use "Find my iPhone" application ?

    Find My Phone would have had to be activated/turned on before your phone was lost/stolen.. There is no way to do that now, thus no way to use such to locate your phone. Had you done so, you would login to iCloud.com from any computer & see if you could locate your phone.
