How do I add my child's phone to my device list on FIND MY IPHONE app on my phone?
How do I add a device?
Hi Bucknamc,
I would recommend doing one of two things:
1) As Gail suggested, go to Settings > iCloud > Find my iPhone, and turn it on. If you are going to do this, you should also go to Settings > General > Restrictions on your child's phone, and select "Don't allow changes to accounts." This will ensure your child does not enable other iCloud functions, which would cause your data to appear on each other's devices.
2) This is a better solution, in my opinion, since it does not involve sharing an Apple ID. If your child has their own Apple ID (you can create one at http://appleid.apple.com), you can download the Find my Friends app and add them on there. There is also a setting in the Restrictions menu to prevent Find my Friends from being turned off. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8

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 -

Only if you walk around and look for it/ask others if they have seen it. -

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.

I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?
You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free). When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to. You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

No, you cannot track it.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:

Plz help
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown/or shown as oof-line, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I lost my phone. The app was able to tell me it was located and where i was,bt whos to say I drive an hour and a half out somehwere and cant find it? someone may have it? and have me goin on a wild gooose chase. i just want my phone back
The best method for creating a bootable backup is to use an external HD and either SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner . It's really that simple. The drive does not need to be 2TB, that is the capacity of your internal HD. Get a general idea of how much is on the internal HD and then allow for growth. For example if you have 500GB stored on the HD now that say's you are at 25% of capacity. If you allow for growth and figure a 1-1.5TB drive will give you several years then that is the size drive you should get.
BTW DO NOT, repeat DO NOT use your TIme Capsule or any other drive for creating the bootable clone. -
I didnt set find my iphone app in the phone, is there any other way to locate it?
I didnt install the: FIND MY IPHONE APP in the iphone, I just downloaded it on my computer, is the any other way to locate it?
The app is only used to find other devices. It does not turn on the service, which is done by going to Settings>iCloud, turn on Find My iPhone.
If you didn't do that, there's no way to locate a lost device. Sorry. -
A few days ago I lost my phone while it was in Airplane mode and initiated a remote wipe from Find my iPhone. I recovered my phone (still in airplane mode) and immediately backed it up. Once that was done, I took it out of airplane mode and let Find my iPhone wipe it. After the wipe, I restored it from my previous back up, but every time the phone connects to a cellular network or just to wifi, it gets wiped again. This occurs even if I have location services and Find my Iphone turned off on the phone! I tried removing the phone from my device list in Find my iPhone, but that still didn't help.
The phone currently has IOS 6 on it. I'm downloading IOS 7 to see if that makes any difference. Anyone have any ideas in the meantime?It is probably still worth while taking it to an Apple store for a possible OOW replacement and let them make the decision, as it was broken before the OP took the back off.
See note below... -
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). -
HT204266 How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app? I am hoping someone could prove me wrong or give me another solution to getting it back. I have a lot of photos, videos and memories in that phone and I would do anything to get it back. Please help!"I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app?"
It is not an app. It is a feature of icloud and iphone. Did you set it up on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen? If not, then you cannot track it at all.
Change your passwords and report it to the police.
