Before IOS 7, I created an account on my wife and childrens iPhones, iPads and iPod devices with my iCloud account, only having the Find My iPhone function turned on. It worked great. Now, with IOS 7, it is not working and I don't have the option to have the Find My iPhone function on my iCloud account on their devices. Does anyone know how to make this work? My family loses their devices frequently and I am concerned I won'e be able to help them find them. Thanks!!
They only need their main iCloud account to have Find My iPhone on. If your account is not their main account it won't work. Only one account can enable that function on a device. They don't need to have the app on their devices unless you want them to find you.
If you can see the devices when you log into their accounts on your Find My iPhone app they are being recognized by the app. But as Winston said if they're not turned on, if they are not on a network, cell or wifi, then they will read as offline. This often happens when I look for my wife's phone when she is at work, her wifi system there does not keep the connection active when the device goes to sleep and in some areas of the building there is poor to no cell connection. And sometimes the service just doesn't pick them up for no obvious reason.
iOS 7 has several annoying glitches right now that hopefully will be resolved soon and this could be one for you. I would try this again by having all the devices in one location , restart all of them, make certain the function is enabled on all of them and that wifi is connected ( if you have a wifi network available ) or that they are connected to a cell network with a strong signal. Then launch the app on your phone and log in with their accounts, their locations should show up. -
if you delete the icloud account from a device is everything backed up on icloud deleted permanently?
Nothing deletes from cloud, just photo stream is reset and starts over on that device if you sign in again everything else stays in.

my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?
To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?
Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars). -
HT2623 Help.I do not see my photo stream at my iCloud account. My device says that PS is on.
Help.I do not see my photo stream at my iCloud account. My device says that PStream is on. Everything else appears...I have just purchased more iCloud space and want to delete photos for a trip so I can take more...I have 0 bytes left
You won't find photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's where you're looking. They only appear on devices signed into your iCloud account with photo stream enabled.
If you want to delete photo stream photos, you delete them from one of your devices. However, photo stream photos do not count against your iCloud storage so deleting them will not free up additional space in your account.
Also, be sure you don't use iCloud to back up your photos. Photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days, although up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted. To keep your photos, save them all to the camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -
Recover the icloud accounts on my device
Hi,how do i recover the icloud accounts on my device? my dad gave it to me today and when I tried to access icloud its giving me a message maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iphone. If ever i will get the access for the username how do i chabge it or delete it without the password? Thank you
That message it means that you will not be able to create another iCloud account on your device as the maximum number have already been created. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create your new account using on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.
If the device is running iOS 7 with Find My iDevice enabled, you can't delete the iCloud account without the password. You also can't delete one of the previously created iCloud accounts so you can create a new one, even if you have the password (i.e., iCloud accounts can't be deleted, you can only choose to stop using them). -
What happens to all the information that is being stored in the cloud?
Hi rjt,
Sounds like you did not delete the iCloud account on your device before you changed your ID. You will need to do the following:
1. Sign onto Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old ID (this is temporary - do not verify it, do not change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2. Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to delete the account. Use your current password when asked, follow the prompts to complete the deletion
3. Go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new ID (you may need to verify it again)
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign onto iCloud with the new ID
Cheers,

Multiple iCloud accounts, single iOS device.
I have one Apple ID, and only one iOS device - a 4th generation iPod touch. Can I setup multiple iCloud accounts? If so, how?
You can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device. You can create two additional "secondary accounts" by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with two new Apple IDs.
Secondary accounts will only sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes. The can't be used for be used for iCloud Bookmarks, Photo Stream, Documents and Data, iCloud Backup or Find My iPod. Also, mail in secondary accounts will be fetch only, not push. -

My Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation was stolen if the thief signed out of my iCloud account on the device will it go away on the web map on my computer and keep me from locking it remotely? I was asking my grandmother who works in apple tech support at at&t but she didnt know. so im hoping somebody will come by and say yes to my question because my iPod touch is still appearing in my iCloud.com account.
Yes. If it was signed out from iCloud, it will disappear from the Devices list in Find my iPhone.

What will happen to the information on iCloud, if I delete the iCloud account on one device?*
My iPad I have inherited from my wife. I wish to delete her iCloud account on my iPad and connect it to my existing iCloud account. If I delete her iCloud account from my IPad will the information on her iCloud account be disrupted (lost)?
No. Deleting the account will only delete the account from the iPad, not from iCloud. Her devices won't be effected by this. When you delete the account, you will need to provide the password (if using iOS 7). You will then be given the option to delete the iCloud data from the iPad.
However, if she is giving the iPad to you, it's best to completely erase the device by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings. That will remove the iCloud account as well as unregister it for iMessage, FaceTime, etc. You can then go through the setup screens as if it were a new iPad. -
