The phone in your posession is the one that needs iCloud disabled. This has nothing to do with the phone that was lost/stolen.

Problems authenticating after using "Find my phone"

I just got a 52 a couple days ago and used the icloud feature of "Find my phone" as I lost it in the house. After finding the phone, it asked me to authenticate. I put in my apple ID and password on the phone and hit "sign in". However, the phone will not proceed. I have now changed my apple id password via the website but still the phone will not respond, and I'm locked out of my own phone now.

How can I use find a phone with my family's iphone when they already have email addresses?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
Use the find my friends app

There is no way that you can locate the iphone at all.
The thief can restore it and use it as their own. You will never know or be able to tell what they do with it.
Very sorry. Your iphone is gone.
Report it to the police and change your passwords.

I am trying to use Find My Phone for people to follow me on the NYC Marathon next week. Is there a way to set up a temporary User ID and Password to give out to people for this purpose? I would obviously want to delete that log in info after the race.

New York Runners has an app that is specially designed to do exactly that. It's (or will be) available in the App Store.

You might also look at apps like RunMeter. It will let you send updates by email, Facebook or Twitter. Glympse is another app that, though not designed specifically for runners, might also be useful.

Back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with, as explained at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. This will remove the passcode.

Thank you

Effectively use is for what? On your computer you can log into iCloud at www.icloud.com and locate your device. Or you can use a different iOS device and the Find My iPhone app to do the same thing.

My phone is lost. When I use "find my phone", it says that my phone is "offline". It has a charged battery and I hadn't turned it off.

My phone is lost. When I use "find my phone", it says that my phone is "offline". It has a charged battery and I hadn't turned it off. When I call my number it immediately goes to the voice mail. Does that mean someone has found it and turned it off? What should I be doing. I have used icloud to lock and send a message to my phone but if it is offline does that do anything? HELP!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It may be that someone has turned it off or it may be that it has been lost in an area where there is no reception. The best thing that you can do, is contact your provider and let them know that you have lost your phone, and change your iCloud password at My Apple ID

I have Apple ID for using iTunes, but haven't signed in. Now my Ipad stolen, how can I use Find My Phone for finding my Ipad?

Who can help me, to add my Ipad to Deviecs in Find My Phone. I was usually using my Ipad sign in iTunes for download music, but haven't signed in iCloud yet. Now my I Ipad stolen, how can I use Find My Phone?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

You have to have iCloud enabled and Find My iPhone set to On on your iPhone in order to find it. If you're saying you turned this off before losing it I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Download the iCloud control panel for Windows, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 and follow setup info from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12803 so that all you need to do is open the iCloud control panel, login to your iCloud account, and click Find My Phone to see the information on the device.

How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s? Can I still use Find My Phone?

How do I turn off icloud on my iphone 4s?
Can I still use Find My Phone?

You cannot use Find My iPhone without iCloud.
If you want to sign off of your iCloud account on your iPhone, you go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and sign out. It will ask for your password so it can turn off Find My iPhone before removing the iCloud account from your device.
Cheers,

How do you use "find my phone"? I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

The app is not necessary; that only for tracking from another iOS device. If you set up Find My iPhone, you can track the iPhone from the iCloud web site:
icloud.com/find
If you didn't configure Find My iPhone on the device before you lost it, then you're out of luck.
Regards.
