How can I set up find my iPhone so that my wife can find it from her phone

Find my iPhone is tied to the iCloud account set up on the device.  If you set up your iCloud account on your device, the only way for her to track it on her phone would be to use the free Find My iPhone app and login with your AppleID and password.

  • How do I set up a new iphone so that contacts, calanders, and mail do not sync to the other phones in my houshold?

    I just purchased a new iPhone 4S for my 11 year old daughter. After setting it up today, and entering in our apple ID, all of my contacts appeared in her contact list, same with emails and messages. How do I set it up so that all my garbage isn't in her phone? Thanks

    Don't let her use your iCloud account on her iPhone.
    On her iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud and select Delete Account at the bottom.
    She can create her own email account if she has one, or you can create an iCloud account for her to be used on her iPhone for email account access, syncing contacts, calendar events, and notes.
    You also need to sign out of the Apple ID for iMessage on her iPhone as well and she needs to activate iMessage on her iPhone with her own Apple ID.

  • How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

    I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • How do I set up my e-mail so that it doesn't delete it from Outlook?

    When I read and delete my e-mail on my iPad, it also deletes it from my Outlook account.  How do I set it so tha it does not delete it from Outlook?

    Most people like it when mail syncs across all devices, but it appears you want to set up your mail account on your iPad as a POP account.  I found this link, which may help you:

  • HT201320 Can I set up a second email account that I want to keep separate from the one set up for my iPad. Can I choose to send from the second account but not to receive onto my iPad, only on my computer?

    can I set up 2 email accounts on my iPad - one from which  to send and receive and one to send from only ?

    YEs, you can have multiple E-Mail addresses. Just add the additional accounts through the Settings -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    If you also change the mail settings "Show To/CC Label" to ON you can change the sending E-Mail server. You can also set the default account in there also, one more section down in the same E-Mail Settings section.

  • TS4006 I forgot the password for my ipod touch, I'm trying to restore it but it won't let me because "find my iphone" is enabled.  Where do I go from here?

    I forgot my passcode and my ipod touch was disabled.  I'm trying to restore it but itunes says I need to disable "find my iphone" before I can restore.  How am I supposed to disable it if I don't know my passcode?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Make sure that you set up your iCloud account on both devices and that Find My iPhone is turned On.  You can also verify if your two iPads' location by signing in to www.icloud.com then Find My iPhone.

  • How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

    How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
    This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
    I have seen private individuals offering this service
    It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.
    Steve

    I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
