HT201365 Help with Find My iPhone Settings
In my: Settings-iCloud-Find My iPhone, The icon "Find My iPhone" and green button slide are all muted and will not allow me change it, yet on my iPad next to last generation with iOS 7.1 all of the above are bright in color. Help
Check Settings>Privacy>Location Services to make sure it's turned on, then scroll down and tap Find My iPhone and turn it on.

Hi -
I downloaded Apple's free "Find My iPhone" app and would appreciate help getting it to work. I don't have a paid Mobile Me account, but I understand I can set up a free account to use the app. I signed up for the free MobileMe account in the iPhone 4's settings, and signed into it using my Apple ID. It seemed to work except that, when I went to sign into the app, I got an alert saying that my MobileMe account had not yet been verified, and I should check my Mobile Me email. The problem is, I can't seem to get the the mail screen. When I go to the Mobile Me sign-in page and enter my Apple ID, all I get is an alert saying that no device has been registered. Can anyone provide any help with this? Thanks very much for your help.

Follow the steps here and you should have no problems setting it up.

I have my iphone 4s find my phone app set up i have the icloud set up and both are on. i installed the icloud on my pc i down loaded the find my iphone app on the pc when i click on the app nothing happens what am i missing please help?
You don't need the Find My iPhone app. You need to turn on Find my iPod in Settings > iCloud on your iPod. Then to locate your iPod from your PC, go to https://icloud.com and follow instructions.

Help! I've lost my iPhone-pretty sure around the house but I am visiting family and about to fly back across country. It is a 4S, I'm fairly certain wifi is turned off as well as cellular data...but I am not 100% positive, but using the app Find my iPhone has been useless since the "sound" can not be heard and the app can not locate it "offline"...anyway Siri can be made to turn the volume up from something? The apple tech guys or anything? Turn the cellular data back on?? Gahhhh helppppp!! Thanks!
Selecting "Play a Sound" works regardless of the position of the mute switch. The phone being offline is different. With no network to connect to (either WiFi or Cellular), find my phone will not work. So, if your phone battery is depleted, you will not be able to use find my phone.
Sorry. -
Can any of the features turn off by themselves? Such as the find my iphone feature...say after an update
could you find that feature in the off position and the owner of the phone claims he did not turn it off.
I find it very hard to believe that it switches from on to off all by itself.. even with the added sign out measures.
As anyone experienced buttons turning features on and off by themselves?I have never heard of Find my iPhone turning off by itself. The more common problem is people who want to turn it off and cannot. in iOS 7 you need the iCloud password to turn it off. This was not true for iOS 6.

Need help with 'Find my iPhone'
Yesterday, I lost my ipod touch (gen 4) on an amtrack train.
I believe that I had the location feature turned on, as well as 'find my iphone'.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to use / access 'find my iphone'. I realize the ipod may have lost its charge by now, although I tried yesterday, when it had a charge. Time is of the essence!
I also downloaded the 'find my iphone app' and for the first time, it shows up in icloud, when I log on. (This is for my Macbook Pro, but the ipod does not show up.)
I'm pretty sure that the addresses, email and 'find my iphone' were all turned on in my ipod. I'm not sure if 'icloud' specifically was setup on my ipod. Is there a way I can set that up remotely, online at apple support?
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
MCristinaThis is how you set up Find My iPod:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2697
If you did set it up, go to http://icloud.com, log in using the Apple ID you set up Find My iPod with, and go to the Find My iPhone section. With luck, your iPod will appear and give you a general idea as to its location, though note that the location will actually be of the WiFi router the iPod is connected to, not the exact location of the iPod itself.
If you did not set up Find My IPhone before the iPod was lost, there is no way to turn it on after the fact. And if the iPod has run out of charge or otherwise is turned off, or not connected to a WiFi access point, there won't be any way to track it.
Good luck. -
Help with finding my iphone, whilst blocked
Hello.
My son has lost his iphone, whilst out and about with his friends. The battery was flat, so I already know that the device isn't discoverable.
But he is positive someone has picked it up.
Due to the circumstances we have had the phone blocked.
What my question is is if the person who picks it up plugs it in to charge will it still be discoverable whilst it is blocked by our provider?
I really need to get it found as its only 3 months old and I don't think it is insured, I will find out tomorrow if it is covered.
Many thanks, and hope somebody can helpYour phone is gone.
All a smart thief has to do is take out the SIM and restore the phone. It will no longer be discoverable.
Report the loss to your carrier, and change the passwords to any account that was on the phone. That's all you can do. -
0xE8000084 hi above error code is preventing me connecting my iphone 5s to itunes ?? any help or advice to re set Sim Locked password number of tries has expired and the phone is lpcked
I assume when you say "pin" you mean passcode. If it's disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode. If you have iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll either have to force it into recovery mode to restore it (as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808) or go to icloud.com and use Find My iPhone to erase it. After doing so, restore your most recent backup.

Hello!! I bought an ipad as a gift for a friend and he lost it(or someome stole it) the very first day!!! He didnt even created icloud account. Can we still find it with help of find my iphone, eg ny using serial number????thanx.
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) -

HT201365 can i clear my device with find my iphone if the device is switched off
can i clear my device with find my iphone if the device is switched off
I'm kinda guessing here, but your phone was stolen and you want to lock it, but it is showing offline? You can send an lock request, and a delete request, but if it is offline, it will not be received until the device goes back online again. If the device has the latest iOS on it, and Find My iPhone active, then it cannot be activated without your Apple ID and password. It will be a brick. And, if they try to activate, it will connect to the Internet and you will be able to track and the erase will activate.

Lost iPhone with Find my iPhone installed
I lost my iPhone but had the Find my iPhone app installed on it. However, when I go to iCloud to find it, my phone isn't listed on the devices. Is there any way to find it now? Thanks for your help!
The find my iPhone app has nothing to do with finding the iPhone on which it is installed.
The app simply allows you to find your other iOS devices from your iPhone.
You would have had to turn on the the built in find my iPhone feature in settings on your iPhone, in order to be able to locate it. No app needed. -
i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.
I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

How do i set up 2 or more devices with find my iphone
how do i set up 2 iphones with find my iphone (1 iphone 4s and 1 iphone 4)?
If both have iOS 5, just go to Settings > iCloud > Find my iPhone ON and that's all you need to do. You can download the free Find my iPhone app or go to http://icloud.com to see if it works.
