HT204053 Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?

Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?
It finds my iPhone, iPod, and only one of 2 iPads.
Sometimes, only finds iPhone and iPod only.
I don't use iCloud...had very bad experiences with it !!!
Lost all my Contacts and had duplicates and triplicates of entries in my Calender.
Took a long time to get back to "normal"
Stays far away from iCloud now !

Find My iPhone relies on iCloud. (It used to use MobileMe and may still do that, but that service is going away at the end of June, so you need your iCloud account for Find My iPhone.)

My iphone 4 is accepting my apple id for imessage and icloud, but everytime i try to download an app or use the itunes store on my iphone, it says it is not connected to the itunes store, i do have wifi so i need to know how to fix this.

Are you connected to the wi fi, or celular ?
Try logging out and in from your apple id.
Reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

Do you have a wifi signal? In order for the wifi only iPad to get any location fix, it needs to be connected to a wifi node - it's only way to determine locations is by looking up the wifi networks hardware address in Apple's wifi node location database of approximate locations (as mentioned already, it has no GPS chipset to use GPS location data).

Why can't I turn location services back on.

Hi Jalm14ts,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

My iPad 3 can't find my location...

Hi,
I have an iPad 3 with wifi running iOS 7.0.4. For some reason, it can't find my location. It won't work with Siri, maps or weather apps. I have location enabled for all of those apps in my settings.
The problem arose when my router was replaced. Would that be what's causing it?
Thanks,
BearH

If you have the WiFi-only iPad your location is determined by the location of nearby WiFi routers. The WiFi-only iPad does not have GPS. Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing your router and then adding/updating the router's location in the database.
Bottom line: Your new Router is quite probably not yet in the Apple location database. It hasn't been seen yet and added to the database. Without this your iPad cannot be located. Unfortunately, there is no way for users to request information to be added to Apple's database.

How can i find the location of my ipod by serial number

how can i find the location of my ipod by serial number. Someone stole my ipod touch and I cant find it. I have the serial number.

No, the SN will only help identify the iPod as yours IF it is recovered
- 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.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2?

How can I find the location of an app on my iPad 2? The app comes up with a search, but that seems to be the only way to find it. I just installed the app today, but I can't figure out where it is. It has a pretty distinctive icon, and I've looked through all of my apps and even in folders (even though I don't know how it would have gotten there). I want to put it in an appropriate folder under the right subject, but I can't find it to do this. I can use the app, since I can find it through a search though. I have a lot of apps, but I looked very carefully and can't find it. Is there a way to ask my iPad to locate it for me? It's a $25 app and one I plan to use regularly, so I want it located in the folder of my choice.This problem makes we wonder if I have other "missing" apps, apps that I could find if I happened to think to search for them, but that don't appear to be on my iPad (even though they actually are).

You were right about the homescreens. I had turned my iPad off for the night with less than three full homescreens of loose apps, those not in folders. When I turned the iPad on this morning to try your suggestions, I had five full pages of loose apps. They just appeared when I restarted, and there was the app I was looking for, easy to find. Last night I was deleting apps I decided I wouldn't use, organizing useful apps into folders, and making sure I had as few pages as needed by making sure the gaps made by the moved/deleted apps were closed. The missing apps didn't show up at that point; I was just left with fewer than 11 pages. The apps only showed up when I restarted this morning. There were almost three extra pages of apps that weren't there last night. I know there must be other things missing, since all of the pages are full. So I tried your suggestion in iTunes. I connected my iPad, found an app in the alphabetical list on the left, and double clicked it. This brought me to the app's homescreen (and its home folder when applicable), the place where it was located. In order to identify which page that was, I had to scroll through the screen shots of the homescreens that was below the homescreen that was showing until I found the homescreen whose number was in white. Then I could count the pages on my iPad until I got to that page. I'll have to delete more apps and organize more into folders to see what else might show up. There are just too many apps available for special education, and I'm in the process of figuring out which are the best for my needs. Thanks so much!

How can I find the location of an i-pod shuffle, nano and touch that i have synced to my account? I have had each one stolen and would be so relieved if i could track there location as I know they are still in the county I live.

How can I find the location of an i-pod shuffle, nano and touch that i have synced to my account? I have had each one stolen and would be so relieved if i could track there location as I know they are still in the county I live.
Also if i cant locate them can i at least remotely delete the libraries, and lock them so they are unusable to the thiefs, and i had a sony laptop worth £2000 stolen which I had used my apple account for a year is there anyway i can track that or retrieve the contents and delete them?
Please if anybody knows reply or contact me!!!! =-)
many thanks

You or Apple can do nothing to prevent use of the devices.
For the iPod touch if you turned on the FindMyiPod feature and wifi is on and connected yu may be ablt ot locate it and wipe it by going to iCloud, signing in and going to FindMyiPhone. However, if the iPOd is rectored that feature is deleted.
Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.

My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?

HI,
I have an Iphone 4, and bought mostly all of my Apps from my Iphone.
I needed a certain App called Viber and tried to download it.
I didn't work and it told me to download it from my computer (Macbook pro) Itunes,
which i did, then i synched (my error) my iphone to my mac, then it erased all my apps from my iphone.
My question is how can i find and redownload all my older apps ?
Do i have to go find them manually and download them again?

I'm guessing on the computer you connected to you were not logged into our account in iTunes and/or you never transferred your apps from your iPhone to your computer.
Yes, you will need to download all of them again manually.

Where can i find the location to download ps 5 on my new computer?

where can i find the location to download my ps 5 on my new computer?

If you really do mean Photoshop 5, you are not likely to find a download resource for it if you don't have the disks - it is old.
If you happen to mean Photoshop CS5 you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

I called a contact and their current location showed up. I've never noticed or seen that before. Is that feature only available during calls or can I find current locations of any of my contacts?
