    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    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

  • I have the "Find my iPhone" app on my iPhone.  What do I run on my Macbook Pro to find my phone?

    I have the "Find my iPhone" app on my iPhone and it works to find my iPhone (when I am holding it) and it finds my Macbook Pro as well.  What app do I run to find my iPhone from my Macbook Pro?  I cannot find an app with the name "Find my iPhone" in the App Store.  (I am running OS X Maverick on my Macbook Pro platform.)

    I think I still have like 4.2.2 features, but I know I downloaded it to my phone I'm at work but now I don't know how to make the app work from my work computer. Is the iCloud account like the apple or iTunes account?
    iCloud is Apple's new online service, replacing mobileme - http://www.apple.com/icloud/.  The web account page is https://www.icloud.com/
    Find my iPhone is a feature of iCloud - http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html
    And again, the downloadable app has nothing to do with making your iPhone discoverable by find my iphone.  The app is used by a device to find another device which has had the trackable feature enabled in its iCloud account settings.  Simply having the app on a device does NOT make that device trackable.  In order to be able to find a device, you need to have an iCloud account on that device, and you need to enable the find-my-iPhone setting under that account - nothing to do with the app at all.

    Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
    Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
    Regards.

  • Help i lost my iphone and i have the find my iphone app on my phone but cant seem to figure it out without my iPhone

    help i lost my iphone and i have the find my iphone app on my phone but cant seem to figure it out without my iPhone

    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.

  • If i don't have the find my iphone app, can I still find my lost itouch?

    If i don't have the find my iphone app, can I still find my lost itouch?

    If you didn't enable it on your iPod before it was lost you can't.  If you did, you may be able to locate it by going to icloud.com from your computer browser, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

  • I don't have the find my iphone app and i lost my ipod touch what do i do

    I don't have the find my iphone app and i lost my ipod touch somwhere in my house. is there any way to get it back like call apple or something?

    If the device has been connected to your computer and a backup was saved, open the itunes program and click edit>preferences>devices
    This will show the date and time of the last backup you created, hover the cursor over the backup and it will show your serial number.
    If you have the original box you can find it on the back also.

  • Is there anyway i can find who stole my ipod touch i have the serial number but i did not have the find my iphone app

    is there anyway i can track my ipod touch with just the serial number because someone stole it but i did not have the find  my iphone app

    You can only track it if you turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My before it was lost/stolen, and then registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone service.  You must then log in to iCloud, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.  If it is turned off, not connected to the internet or been reset to factory condiditon it will not show up.  There is no way to track it except in that way.
    Report it to the police, insurance and cell provider in case the will blacklist the iPhone so it cannot be used.
    Change your passwords for accounts on the iPhone.

  • Can you locate your iPad 2 without the find my iPhone app?

    My iPad 2 doesn't have the find my iPhone app and now i've lost it. Is there any other way to locate it? Please help!!

    No.
    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • HT204266 How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?

    How do I retrieve a lost iphone with the Find My Iphone app?
    I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app? I am hoping someone could prove me wrong or give me another solution to getting it back. I have a lot of photos, videos and memories in that phone and I would do anything to get it back. Please help!

    "I got my iphone stolen right out of my bag and I am assuming there is no way of retrieving the phone back unless I have the Find My Iphone app?"
    It is not an app.  It is a feature of icloud and iphone.  Did you set it up on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen?  If not, then you cannot track it at all.
    Change your passwords and report it to the police.

    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.
