How to find a lost iPhone without the find my iPhone app ?

i lost my iphone and need help finding it.However, idont have the find my iphone app

If you enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost, you may be able to locate it on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If you didn't enable Find My iPhone on it before it was lost, there is no way to track it.  You'll have to try calling your number to see if anyone answers or physically look for it.

    You can't create an iCloud account on your PC.  You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher).  After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

  • HOw can i locate a lost iphone without the "find my iphone" app

    MY daughter has lost her ipod 4g.  I previously was able to locate her via the find my iphone app, however, her ipod no longer shows up on my device list since its been gone.  Any suggestions?  Or should i just consider it gone forever?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    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.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Is it possible to track down my lost iPhone without the "Find my phone"-thing?

    I´ve lost my iPhone 5 and I dont have Find my iPhone activated on the phone. Is it possible to track it down without it?

    If it is with iOS8: nobody will be able to use it, just a bit of junk. So this might help in having the honest finder to contact you or the police.

  • Does anyone know how to find my iPhone without the Find My iPhone app?

    Hi, I lost my iPhone Friday night. Ironic I know, Friday the 13th, who coulda had worse luck. Every person I ask what to do, tells me I should use the Find My iPhone app. BUT ITS RUBISH. IT DOES NOT HELP ME IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. WHOEVER INVENTED IT DID NOT ACCOMMODATE FOR IF THE PHONE WAS STOLEN OR LOST WHEN IT WAS SWITCHED OFF. Its obviously locked via passcode and lost mode on Find My iPhone but really anyone can bypass it or restore the phone which is what worries me because once they do that there is no way of finding it since the phone is only traceable through iCloud in partner with my apple ID. So thanks whoever invented Find My iPhone. It was just further confirmation that any chances of actually finding my iPhone are non-existent.
    And I believe Apple has a way to find it via the 982149810 different kinds of product codes such as the serial number or the IMEI number but they choose not to, A) because they do not want to bother themselves and B) because they'd rather have you pay full ******* price for a brand new one. Which I'm not going to do. That phone has restricted and confidential material on it and it needs to be found NOW.
    There must be a way to locate the phone. I've heard of ways that the police has worked side by side with carrier companies to track it. Unfortunately I cannot do that because I purchased an originally unlocked cell phone at full retail price from the Apple store itself. I know there is a way to find it. There has to be. Also, I heard that an Apple Certified Mac Technician can help find it. Does anyone know the number of any here in Canada? Prefferably the GTA? Please help me out.
    Thank you.
    P.S. If I never find my iPhone, I'm switching to Android. They have an app that helps you find the phone even if its switched off and an app for after it gets stolen. Meaning it doesn't have to be installed in the phone before it was stolen. BECAUSE THEY ARE SMART AND CONSIDER ALL OCCASIONS. LEARN FROM YOUR COMPETITORS APPLE. ADIOS APPLE.

    There is no way to remotely track any device that is turned off, or does not have an internet data connection.  In that case, no remote system can possible communicate with the device, nor the device send any information to any remote server.  Any device, not merely an iPhone, shares that same limitation.  Remote tracking is only possible if the device and the tracking system can talk to eachother.
    Apple does not offer any other feature because they are not a law enforcement agency.  They are bound by the same privacy laws that keep you from snooping in somebody's house just because you claim they have something of yours.
    Of course there are alternate ways to track a powered on and connected cell phone, but Apple has neither the legal nor the moral authority to do such things.  Just because something is technically possible does not mean that any big company and just go out and do them.
    Since when is it always "someone else's" fault and responsibility to deal with your lost or stolen private property?  I don't get this mentality of passing either the blame or the responsibility on to someone else.

  • Is there a way to locate an iPhone without the 'Find my phone' app?

    I lost my phone this morning over a strip of 40 miles driving - phone was on roof. I did not already have the find my iPhone app on my phone and am wondering if there is an alternative way to locate the general location of my phone? Thank you.

    No way other than looking for 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.

    This is what you can do:
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    If the thief was able to turn off Find My iPhone, then your password must have been easily guessable (or the thief knows you) and you will not be able to find your iPhone.  Otherwise, click the "Find My iPhone Overview" from the above article for more information.

    When I updated my iPhone to iOS 6.1.3, somehow the iTunes App did not make it back to my iPhone.  So, I now have an iPhone without the iTunes App.  All other apps are on my iPhone.  How do I get back my iTunes App, so I can continue buying music and flix?

    Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • HT1349 is it possible to track an Iphone4 , without the find my iphone apps

    Is this possible to track iphone 4 without find my iphone application

    Yes, the "Find my iPhone" app does nothing to help a phone to be locatable - it is for locating another phone from yours.
    As long as you setup and activated the Find my iPhone service, the phone has power and a network connection and Location Services is turned on and the phone has not been restored, you should be able to track it.
    If not, then you cannot track your phone.

    Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.
