How can i activate find my iphone

Hi, good morning now i facing a problem about how to activate ( find my iphone ) apps ?

To activate Find my iPhone, the device has to turned on AND in your possession. You can't do it after the device has already been stolen or turned off.
That would be like locking your front door after theives have already entered your home.

How can you activate find my iphone if you dont have the device you need to find

I wasnt aware that i had to activate find my iphone and Apple themselves are being useless in helping. Is there anyway i can activate it without having the device as i have obviously lost it. or is there anyway of displaying a message even though it isnt registerted?

No and no.
- 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
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, the only place that you can activate "Find my phone" is from the device itself.

HT201365 How helpful is the find my iPhone app?

How helpful is the find my iPhone app?

The app itself is for locating another iOS device (with the Find my iPhone service set up on it) from the device the app is installed upon.
For that purpose it is very helpful.

please help me or tell me how can I restor me pictures from icloud ?

You're welcome. If you mean how does iCloud help you recover your photos, it can help in one of two ways:
First, if you have an iCloud backup of your stolen phone, you can restore a replacement phone or another iOS deivce to your iCloud backup. This would restore the photos from the backup to the device, along with your other data and settings. You restore to an iCloud backup during the initial device setup. If the device is already set up your have to erase it by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings, then go back through the initial setup screens, and when given the option choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
If your photos were in your photo stream, you can either sync another iOS device with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, or you can sync your computer with your iCloud account and turn on photo stream, as outlined here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. This would allow you to access any photos that still remain in your photo stream. (However, photos are only saved in photo stream for 30 days. Any photos older than 30 days would be lost.)

How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for first time

Yes.
Insert the SIM card and power the iPhone on to find out. Nothing bad can happen if you can't and if you can't for some reason, connect the iPhone to iTunes.

How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

Copied from the link provided.
Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

Says I've reached the maximum of free accounts for my device. It's a used iPhone 4s. Trying to activate find my iPhone. Please help!?

We bought our son a used iPhone 4s almost 2 years ago. It was recently lost, but we were lucky enough to get it back. As a precaution in case it's lost or stolen again I'm trying to activate find my iPhone, but it tells me I have to have iCloud. But iCloud keeps telling me I have reached the maximum number of free accounts for this device. We have never had an iCloud account, so I'm assuming it was from the original owner. I have no way of contacting this person anymore because their eBay account is no longer active. The phone was factory reset when we bought it, and we reset it again today trying to see if that would fix it, but he lost all his stuff for nothing. We also updated the software. Is there anything we can do about this? Or at least maybe a different app that can track a phone that doesn't require iCloud? I don't know anything about Apple devices. Thanks so much!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

Apps purchased from the App store do not run or install on computers.
There is no need to install the "Find My iPhone" app on the computer.
Simply go to iCloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and you can track the device from there.

How to i m find my iphone country and service provide

How to i m find my iphone country and service provider

Where did you buy the iPhone? Where are you currently located?
If you are asking how can you find out the country your iPhone was
originally sold in and what wireless carrier to which it is locked to,
contact Apple - sometimes they will tell you, sometimes not.
Remember that the warranty is only good in the country in which the
iPhone was originally sold and is not international so if you need
repair/replacement, the iPhone will have to be returned (by you personally
or by you shipping it to a friend or relative there) to the country
of original sale.
Apple does not accept foreign shipments nor will it ship other
countries (all of the EU is considered one country for repair/
replacement purposes).
