How to use the find my iphone feature?

I lost my Ipod Touch 4 at school but i did not have the find my iphone feature turned on so I couldn't track it. Is it true that you can use the find my iphone app on another person's apple device to track yours? How?

No, you have to either have the Apple FindMuPhone/iPod feature turned on or installed a third-party app. The iPod musy also bo connected to the internet.
- 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 the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, 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

    Hi,
    Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
    Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.

  • Lost iphone - wants to use the Find my iphone feature

    I just lost my iphone 4 and I wanted to use the Find my iphone on it, but i laso just discovered that my wife's phone is using the same icloud account so when clicked on the Find my iphone, it is finding "her" iphone.  How can I use it to find "my" iphone

    If your phone is powered on, and has an Internet connection it will automatically find it when logged into that account in the Find my iPhone app.
    The fact that it didn't appear suggests the phone is off, has no internet or Find my iPhone is not turned on in it.

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead

  • How to use the find Iphone app on two devices with the same itunes and apple id number?

    I have two Iphones connected to the same apple id . I am unable to use the find my iphone app on both devices. It only works on one!! Please help! It is driving me crazy lol!!

    The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account.  If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
    If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    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.

  • HT5621 What do you do when you've lost access to your e-mail and your apple ID and have no way to reset them? (with the find my iPhone feature enabled)

    Hi
    I've lost access to my e-mail and my apple ID. No way to reset them. It's a hotmail email address and Microsoft is refusing to reset it even after I provided all the necessary proof of ownership.
    2 problems:
    I can't switch to a new apple id and loose all my purchased apps
    I can't switch to a new apple id as I'm being asked for the password of my current apple id - to disable the 'find my iPhone'-feature
    How do I proceed as my device is virtually unusable as is ..
    Many thanks

    This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
    We also can't speculate on what exactly iOS 7's new security features will actually do, all that's available is what has been said so far by Apple, anyone using a developer version is forbidden to discuss it anywhere but in the developers community.

  • Can someone explain what is the benefit of the Find My iPhone feature?

    I've upgraded my iPhone 4 to the next OS and it comes with the Find My iPhone feature. It took me a while to set it up, but it's OK, especially when it's free for those lucky iPhone 4 users. But now the question I have, what is the benefit of this feature? (Well besides spying on your girlfriend or wife) I mean, if someone steals my iPhone all they need to do is to delete the mobile me account, or better, turn this feature off. It's not even password protected. Maybe I'm just not getting something???

    Obviously once my phone is lost I'm going to change my password on my emails right away and call AT&T to freeze my account.
    You are assuming that you will know your phone is lost or stolen the instant it happens. Don't be so naive. Unless your iPhone is glued to your forehead it could be hours or maybe the next morning before you realize it's gone.
    This is not where you should store that stuff.
    Who are you to say what people should or shouldn't store on their smartphone? Above you admit you're not even aware of Apps that can store data (credit cards for instance) as securely as the banks and websites you use them at.
    Apple's approach to encryption is mostly based on "security by obscurity", or, "our operating systems don't get hacked often... and thus we're safe." But this is VERY wrong!
    Actually, you're wrong and clearly know very little about security PERIOD. Anyone who doesn't use even the basic security built-in to any device simply because it is an "inconvenience" almost deserves to have their identity stolen.
    Educate yourself a little on some of Apple's iPhone security measures by reading: http://images.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iPhone_Security.pdf
    No device is immune to the most determined hackers but to say Apple's approach is mostly "security by obscurity" just highlights how little you know about such things.

  • HT4864 i lost my ipdad this month, i am trying to use my find my iphone feature but my ipad always appearing offline

    i lost my ipdad this month, i am trying to use my find my iphone feature but my ipad always appearing offline.
    Please seek your kind support in order to find out my IPAD 4 location in the following senarios:
    1- IPAD4 is not offline.
    2- IPAD4 apple id was changed to the theif ID before i place the lost mode.

    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, 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.
    If it is 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).

  • Can I use the Find my Iphone app on Itunes?

    Hi, I was wondering if i could use the find my iphone app on itunes, i do not own any other apple device except my phone.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use the find my phone app on your phone if you want, however there doesn't seem much point, since you will have it in your hand when you are using it and therefore know where it is.
    You can enable the find my phone feature through settings >Icloud, and then track your phone at iCloud.com, should it be lost or stolen.

  • Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    The Find My IPhone app is used to find OTHER lost devices, it does nothing to make your device "findable".  To make it findable, you must turn on "Find My IPhone" in settings. And than you need location services on.  This however does not guarantee that you'll always find it if lost. A thief can set it to factory settings, even remove the sim card. Then it'll be unfindable.
