Go to "Settings > iCloud" scroll down and turn it on. (Make sure that you also enabled Location Settings for Find My iPhone in "Settings > Privacy > Location Settings")

    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.

  • I think my iPhone has been stolen. How do I know if Find My iPhone has been turned on?

    I'm not sure if I set up Find My iPhone. It is showing up in Find my iPhone, but as offline. Would it show up if I never set it up? Or does this mean its probably been turned off. I last had it within wifi and data should be turned on as well.

    If offline, that means Find My Phone was setup/activated. One of the first things a thief will do is turn an iPhone off, thus defeating Find My Phone.
    Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords, especially Apple ID & Mail.

  • Enabling lock screen on 'find my iPhone' to disable turning it off.

    I have noticed that when you do a remote lock on an iPhone from the 'find my iPhone' app, it does not disable the phone from being turned off; completely making the app useless.  If I lose my phone and someone snatches it, they just need to turn it off and they are home free (while they jailbrake it, or whatever).  There needs to be a way that when 'find my iPhone' is enabled to request the phone to go into an emergency mode that disables use (remote lock) and disables the phone from being turned off.  If anyone knows a way to accomplish please let me know so I can activate this on my daughters phone (we had a scare a couple days ago, but it turned out to be in her locker : )).  Thanks.

    Hello, Zane.
    Thank you for the question.  You may need to place your device into recovery mode and process a restore as new.  Below, I have included and article that will walk you through this process.  Before you process the restore make sure to back up all media.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How can I find a IPhone 4S if it is off?

    Off is off.
    There is no way to track it if it is off or if it has been restored by the thief.
    Sorry

  • How do I remotely enable find my iphone?

    Hello, my iphone 3GS was stolen. Can someone please advise how do I remotely enable find my iphone?

  • My iphone has been stolen/lost. How can I know whether find my iphone is turn on?

    I just lost my iphone. I've lodged a police report. The police said they will blacklist my phone imei/serial number.  How to know whether my 'find my iphone' is turn on? Because i'm scared i've disabled it before it lost. I try to track my iphone using find my iphone  and it says 'Offline'. Is that means my 'find my iphone' is turn off? If my iphone is blacklisted, can it still works?

    Find My iPhone works only if all conditions are true:
    1. Find My iPhone must be ON before lost.
    2. iPhone has Internet connection (Wi-Fi/Cellular data)
    3. iPhone is not switched off.
    4. iPhone battery is not dead.
    Blacklisting does not affect FMiP.

    How can I run the "Find my Iphone" app in my Itunes?

    Find my iPhone App can only run in iPhone and not iTunes.  If you have activated iCloud and set Find my iPhone to ON, you can sign in to https://www.icloud.com to run Find My iPhone there.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

  • HT1296 Since I downloaded iOS 7, my iPhone is constantly turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it used to be.  I want iOS 6 back!  How do I uninstall iOS 7?

    I downloaded iOS 7.0.2, and now my iPhone 5 keeps turning itself off and the battery useage is twice what it was.  I want iOS 6 back!  How do I uninstall iOS 7?>

    So, after it charged and was still plugged in, I deleted the Exchange account and then reset it holding down the sleep wake buttons until the apple logo appeared. I also changed the limit on my emails to 3 days instead of 1 week.  It turned on, so I turned it off and let it charge overnight.  This morning, it stayed on for 3 whole hours and then shut itself off again.  I had to try 5 times to get it to come back on.  Now, a message appeared that Exchange cannot verify a server, I can't see the full name of the server anymore, but it is *.hotmail.com GlobalSign Root CA from Microsoft. So I'm selecting Accept to see what happens.  I'm very discouraged, I need my phone to be reliable for my work.  It was reliable for 11 months without one problem, and now since I downloaded iOS 7, it hasn't been on for one full day since.

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.
