How do I use 'find my iphone' on my pc?

I just upgraded to iSO 5, I got the Find my iphone app, have the lastest icloud on my pc, have the app on my iphone and can't seem to use it.  The icon shows up on my phone, and is on. The icon is in my Apps folder in itunes. I have read ALL the directions everywhere on the apple site, could find nothing to help me with my pc....only info is for mac, or not enough.  When I launch icloud on my comp, (yes I'm signed in) all I get is a page that tells me to install outlook, and then a list of options that I can manage now or after they are installed.  1. Outlook, 2. contacts, 3. calendars and tasks, 4. bookmarks and 5. photostream.  If I log out of icloud and then log back in, same screen appears.  Do I have to install Outlook  and contacts and calendars and tasks to make this work? If so, WHY? Also if so, how will that affect my windows mail on my PC? 
Thanks in advance

hey danbi, thanks for the reply.  I went to icloud, but there was nothing new there, went through that whole process when I updated to iSO 5.1.  I can't find how to get it started on my PC.  I have no working icon anywhere.  The icon only appears in my apps folder, but doesn't do anything when I click on it except get a blue ring around it.   When I right click, I have the following options, get info; show in windows explorer; and delete. Any other suggestions?

    You can't. It has to be on and able to connect to a network or it can't transmit its location.

  • 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.

  • How can I use Find my iPhone on supervised devices?

    I manage a fleet of iPad 2 carts for my school all using the same Apple ID, but I have run into a wall with this problem. In the past Find my iPhone has not be able to for me on supervised devices. I have thought about using Meraki, but I have read that it doesn't play nice with Apple Configurator.  I want to be able to locate an ipad if it goes missing and also restrict the settings on the student ipads.  So here are my questions:
    1. Is there a way to make Find My iPhone or another app work to locate each supervised iPad?
    2. Can I use both Apple Configurator and Meraki to manage my iPads?
    Looking for some advice.

  • HT4865 How can you use find my iphone or find my friends on a ipod for a kid (daughter) but restrict who can see your personal calenders on their device. I realize you can turn off icloud. If ipod is lost, others can get your data by turning on icloud

    I just purchased an ipod for my daughter. Since she is only 7 y/o she cannot create an icloud account. Therefore, I had to use my apple ID to create an icloud account on her ipod.  I would like to have find my iphone and friend finder on her ipod for tracking purposes.  The only problem is that all of my personal calender, notes, reminders etc get transferred automatically to her ipod which I don't want.
    I turned off the icloud calender, notes, reminders etc on her device so that my data doesn't get transferred to her device now. My biggest concern is that if she loses her ipod someone could turn the icloud function back on and automatically get my data. 
    Is there anyway to be able use the tracking features yet protect my icloud from being turned on by a thief?

    Password locks, Restrictions password protected or not anyone who gets your iPod can restore it to Factory Settings/New iPod.  This will completely disable Find My iPhone so that the iPod can no longer be tracked.  It is not a good idea to not use the lock password, because if someone get your iPod they can see all of your contacts, calendar entries email, email passwords, etc.

    I lost my phone at work today. I know that i turned on find my iphone but it says that it is offline. I dont know if i am using it correctly. My data is off. is there anyway i could still track it?

    To track the following condition must be met:
    1. iPhone has Find My iPhone configured and ON.
    2. iPhone has Internet connection (Wi-Fi/Cellular Data)
    3. iPhone itself must be ON. (Not switch OFF)

  • How do I use find my iPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?

    l I tried using it on  a friends iPod Touch, because I lost mine. I tried regestring but It didn't work, to my dismay I learned that MobileMe was closed to new subscribers. I tried doing it on iCloud, but iCloud is only for iOS 5. So how do I register findmyiPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?
    Or did Apple Screw me over on this one? (Sorry, you'd be ****** to if someone stole an iPod you left on a table when you were going to the bathroom.)

    Sorry, but Apple didn't screw you. You screwed yourself. See, there's no point putting a lock on your door after the burglars have left.

  • 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.
