HT204053 Help setting up Find my iPhone for iPod touch!
I'm trying to set up "Find my iPhone" app for my 5th generation iPod touch. When I follow steps, it says my Apple ID is correct but I don't have an icloud account. I actually do and have it on & running on my iPod! Help! What do I do to get past this?
I reset icloud password-that seemed to do the trick.

Find my iPhone on iPod touch 2g ?
Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to add my iPod touch 2g device on my iCloud account.
I downloaded the application, I can log in, but it only shows my Macbook Pro.
From what I read in Apple's manuals to set up Find my iPhone, it seems like you need iCloud to set it up and the iPod touch 2g doesn't support iCloud. Does that mean that it's impossible to set up Find my iPhone ?
However, if it was possible, I'd also be curious to know if it can be set up for a friend's ipod touch 2g. If he signed up as me, I think that wouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure.
Thanks !Ok now i have a question.. I went on to the me.com site and when it asks me for my apple id and pw.. what would that be cause im trying to sign in and its telling me that ID or PW incorrect..

Finding legacy version of Find My Friends for iPod touch 4G?
I got a new iPhone and gave my iPod 4G to a relative. I restored the iPod to factory settings and set up a new Apple ID for my relative, but lost Find My Friends in the process (it's not a default app on the touch, apparently). When I tried to reload Find My Friends, I'm told I need iOS 7. Is there any way around this, to get the older Find My Friends? I understand Apple recently began offering "legacy" apps, but when I try to load Find My Friends, I'm not offered that option. I'm merely instructed to upgrade to iOS 7, which of course can't be run on an iPod touch 4G. Thanks.

"Apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe" when setting up Find My iPhone app
Okay, folks, spent some time with MobileMe support via chat this morning. This is what I've learned. Apparently you CANNOT use an Apple ID, regardless of what format it's in (usually a full email address) AS LONG AS IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH A MOBILE ME (ME.COM ADDRESS) ACCOUNT THAT IS CLOSED OR NO LONGER ACTIVE. Unfortunately, there is no way to disassociate the two and there is no way the old MobileMe (me.com address) account can be deleted.
Apparently, I had some issue when I was trying out the MobileMe for the trial period many months ago and for some reason couldn't use my primary Apple ID (my primary email address), so I created a me.com address for the MobileMe account. Eventually, I cancelled the MobileMe account because the cost wasn't justified for the features it offered. Unfortunately, that association with my primary Apple ID is permanent and THAT is the source of the "This Apple ID canot be used for MobileMe" error. Or at least that's ONE reason for it.
The solution? Create a completely new, separate Apple ID using a valid email address from which you can receive a verification email. The address is NOT used to receive any further emails from Apple. Only to create logon credentials. Do NOT associate this email address with your current/primary Apple ID or any other Apple ID. This is what you use to set up Find My iPhone/iPad, etc. using the MobileMe setup in Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars as well as the Find My iPhone App (plus it's your logon to the MobileMe Find My iPhone web page).
When you log in to the MobileMe page, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR APPLE ID IF IT'S A FULL EMAIL ADDRESS: apparently, the ID field automatically tries to change it to "[email protected]" instead of your "[email protected]". Just check it before and after you enter your Apple ID password and submit.
I did this and it works. Find My iPhone app and service works beautifully. Spotted my iPad right where I'm at on a map. I sent a message to my iPad via the service (which also offers the option to play a sound, lock the device or even wipe the device).
I hope this information helps SOMEONE.
Oh...interesting footnote: I was informed that APPLE IDs CANNOT BE DELETED. Even if you create a "test" Apple ID (like I did during our troubleshooting session) with some barely used email account using a weak password. That means, regardless of whether you use it or not for MobileMe/Find My iPhone, you really, really need to give it a SECURE password (if you're going to keep that email account alive). So yeah, there are a lot of dormant Apple IDs floating around out there!I agree.
I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
running out of options it seems.
Any idea on the best solution?
Thank you! -

I have 1 Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both of these devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in, can I set up 'find my "device"' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

No. You could visit your @icloud.com site and click on the Find My Phone app icon to see if it's being detected. It must be online. I don't know if this will work for your.
