You can't locate a phone which is off because it needs to be able to transmit its location data to the network, and it has to be on to do that (and able to connect to a network).

  • How can i find my iphone if icloud is turned off?

    i just had an iphone stolen.  the find my iphone app was downloaded but i cannot see it when i log in to icloud...i need some help please...is there a way to locate the phone if icloud is turned off.  if not is there a way to turn icloud on from a pc?? please help!!!!

    The "Find my iPhone" app is only provided to find your iPhone from another device (which has that app installed.)  To find your missing iPhone, you will have needed to enable the facility by going to Settings > Privacy > Locations Services > Find My iPhone and setting it to "ON".
    The App is worthless unless the phone has been simply mislaid and the battery is good. If you have SET the facility as said, all you have to do is log onto your iCloud account from anywhere in the world, on any type of computer with a browser, and it would tell you where your phone is. If the battery is still good. If the phone has a connection to the internet. If the phone has not been restored as new. If the phone has not been turned off.

  • I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

    LOST PHONE
    If you enabled iCloud on your device and enabled Find My iPhone on the device, then you can view the iPhone or iPad location at www.icloud.com .  Use your iCloud login details and then click on Find my iPhone.
    If Find My iPhone was not enabled on your device or your device does not have an internet connection or has been turned off then there is nothing you can do to view the location and track your device.
    If your device has been stolen, report it stolen to your carrier and the police and change all your passwords.  This is what you do when you lose your phone or it is stolen support.apple.com/kb/ht5668

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

    Can I locate my iPhone over IMEI-a?

    The only way to find a lost iOS device is to use the Find my iPhone app or www.icloud.com.  For this to work, you have to enable Find my iPhone (Settings > iCloud) on the lost device prior to loss.  If you didn't do this, there is no way to find it.  Neither Apple nor your carrier will find it for you.

    Yep like roamingggnome said.
    You maybe turned it off in restrictions. Go to settings, general, restrictions.
