Apple has apparently maid it much more difficult to help someone out that has lost his iphone.  I guess they want to sell more phones.
You can do it on a computer, by just signing in on their account, but on an iPad or iPhone you have to use "find my friends."  However, if you have not preinvited the distressed friend, he wont be able to accept your invitation since his iphone is missing.  Nasty.
Nope.  Wrong.  All you need is to download the Find My iPhone app, for free, from the App Store, on another iOS device.

    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

    How do I find someone else's phone with mine?

    Using the app, Find My iPhone, which you can download for free from the itunes app store, you can log into another person's icloud account with their ID and password and then try to track/find the device.

    How can I find someone else iPhone

    If there is no service on the phone, then there is no way to track it. If it had service and Find My iPhone is activated, then it could be tracked, if it has an active internet connection. So are you trying to find him, the phone, or both?

  • Why is Find My iPhone finding someone else's iPhone?

    Hi all - I just purchased an iPhone 5s (my first iPhone!) and have been exploring my apps and trying to become familiar with the new device. I was looking on Find My iPhone and noticed another iPhone connected to my account at an address around 30 miles away. I don't know anyone who lives in this location and I am concerned that someone might have access to my Apple ID. Is this a valid assumption/does anyone know what could be happening?
    I should mention that I had to return my original 5s to the Apple store last week and got it replaced with a new one due to some issues I was having. At that point I erased everything off the phone. I am wondering if maybe that phone is somehow still connected? I really have no idea.
    I am considering going to the Apple store tomorrow to talk to someone, but I just wanted to check here first.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Sounds like it could be potentially a refurb...I dont think an Apple ID can be wiped from the device so this could be the case...
    I would speak with Apple Support or someone in store to discuss your concern.
    Also if in doubt change your password..

  • Find Someone Else's iPhone

    I just set up the Find iPhone app on my iPhone 5, and it shows my phone and MacBook Pro under My Devices. I have two questions:
    If my iPhone is lost, can I use my sister's iPhone to find mine. Is it just a matter of signing out of her iCloud account and signing into mine, or does it only work for devices that are registered under the same iCloud account?
    I can see my laptop and phone under the iPhone app's My Devices list, but how can I see my phone on a similar list on my laptop? Is there an OSX version of this program, or is it IOS only?
    Thanks in advance

    No 1: Yes, you can use your sister iPhone Find My iPhone app to locate yours. Sign in with your Apple ID.
    No 2: On laptop, use the browser with this link: https://www.icloud.com Sign in with your Apple ID.

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

  • How do I send a contact from my contacts to someone else's iPhone?

    I need to send contacts to someone else 's. iPhone. How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    KEW

    Launch the Contacts application from your iPhone home screen.
    Tap the name of the contact you want to share.
    Tap the "Share Contact" button. A prompt opens.
    Select "MMS." The iPhone's text messaging application loads with the contact card already inserted as the body of the message.
    Tap the To field, then enter the number of the other iPhone.
    Tap "Send".

  • HT204053 How do I get someone else's apple Id off of my phone ?

    How do I get someone else's apple Id off of my phone ?

    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • How can I find out if my iphone has been synced to another computer? (Backup/Sync Privacy)

    So it would seem easy for someone (lets just say a girlfriend for example) to plug my iPhone into her computer while I am staying the night and backup to iTunes.  I have my settings to "require a passcode immediately", however there was one day there was access to my passcode at her place while I was not there. So my question is three-fold:
    - How can I find out if my iphone has synced with another computer/iTunes (possible history in the iPhone)?
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    One reason I ask this is because earlier this year her phone was backed up to my iTunes on accident.  I did not know it was there until months later, but was able to access it with software.
    Thanks!

    You don't.  Nothing gets stored on the iPhone about what computers the device has been backed up to.
    - Are there additional privacy settings to make sure no one can backup my iPhone by plugging it into their iTunes?
    Yes, it's called a passcode lock.
    - If it has been backed up to another computer is there anything that can be done.
    No.  You might consider changing your Apple ID password to be on the safe side, though, as well as your security questions.

  • How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me.

    How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me. I can find all of my devices on my iCloud account. But since the last software update we needed to set up separate iCloud accounts in order to be able to use iMessage independently.

    Interesting. This never occurred to be a problem to me but I think I can see your point. Leave feedback for Apple on this here:
