HT201365 I CANT GET THE FIND MY IPHONE APP TO WORK

Just downloaded IOS7. I am not part of iCloud. On IOS6 I was able to use Find My iPhone. On IOS7 it won't work. I have gone into "Settings" "iCloud" and the Find My iPhone Icon is 'greyed out', as in it won't let me use it. I REALLY do not want to join iCloud at this time. How do I get back what I had, so that I can use the "Find My iPhone" feature? Surely there has to be a way, as there was in IOS6.

much like insurgence then you need to enable my iphone before it's lost it can't be don afterwards

TS4006 is it possible to get the find my iphone app on my ipod touch?

My iphone just got stolen and i cant access the find my iphone app because i only have the ipod touch, what do i do?

I do not believe there's an app for that on PC. I do recommend getting the iCloud dashboard for PC and to try it there. I would myself if my PC was working.
PC ***** get a Mac.
You can always go to iCloud.com to find your phone.

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.

Does my phone have to be connected to the internet for the find my iphone app to work?

it claims on the apple website that you can see a satellite map and everything from your computer just as if you were using another iphone to try and find your own phone through the find my iphone app,i signed into icloud through my computer but it says it cant find my phone because its offline,im 98% sure the find my iphone app is activated on my phone right now,so does that mean my phone has to actually be connected to internet to be found because that would be stupid..

Yes, The phone needs an active data connection, either through WiFi or Cellular data.

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

Did you have Find My iPhone enabled on your iPhone in its settings? If so, go to www.icloud.com and use your Apple iCloud ID to use the Find My iPhone app.

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
