HT4759 If my iPhone is lost, does it need to be connected to a wifi in order for me to pinpoint its location?

I need quick assistance, I lost my iPhone and I am trying to locate it with the app "find my iPhone"
Does the phone needs to be connected to a wifi network for the app to work?

yes Erik, the phone needs to be connected to wifi/data to locate it, hope whoever find it is dumb enough and connect it to wifi, keep an eye on it, good luck.

    If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

  • Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ?

    Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ? Or can I just attach to my stereo and have my Mac connect directly to it in the absence of a wireless network? Tks

    you will have to configure the express to create a wireless network but you do not need a connection to the internet.

  • Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected via ethernet all the time?

    Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable all the time?

    AirPort Setup....the configuration utility in Mountain Lion...will look at the connection and configure the Express accordingly.
    If you have an Ethernet cable connected during the setup, then you will need to leave the Ethernet cable connected after the setup.
    If you want the Express to connect using wireless only....then you must configure it using wireless only.

  • Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers

    Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?

    I got an additional question bout this topic:
    is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
    so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time...

  • Does PI need a direct connection to third party or can work with a proxy server based connection to third party?

    does PI need a direct connection to third party or can work with a proxy server based connection to third party?

    Hi,
    It basically includes 3 systems, one is our ECC sender system, middle one is PI box and third one is the receiver system. Data is successfully reaching to PI system from our sender system.Now we want to forward this to our third party system from PI box.
                                                                    I want to know that such sending of data requires direct connection to third party or it can be done by proxy server based connection to third party.If it is possible then what are the steps to do this?
    Regards-

  • TS1398 My iphone 5 is does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and fails to reconnect automatically to it.  My other iphone (4s) has no such problems.  Any suggestions?

    My iphone 5 does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and connect to it automatically.  I have to reconnect manually each time.  My other iphone (4s w/iOS6) has no such problems.  Any suggestions? 

    It's not a bug in iOS 6, and it won't be fixed. It's usually caused by your phone having been paired to 2 different networks with the same SSID. So it needs to ask which one you meant. Occasionally be corrupt data in the network settings, which is why Allan suggested Forget This Network.

    There is no way to know if the iPod has been restore and used with another Apple ID unless Apple is presented with a court order.

  • Does TC need to be connected to the internet to backup to?

    I have a network of 3 airport extremes but I would like the TC to not be assessable by the network. Just wifi backups...

    TimeCapsule does not require an internet connection to backup computers which are joined to it's wireless network.

    Hi deekswife,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you want to view Photo Stream photos on a Windows computer you will first need the iCloud Control Panel installed. Once installed, there will be an iCloud Photos location selected on your computer. Please review the following article as a reference.
    iCloud: Set up My Photo Stream
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13693
    On a Windows computer
    Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
    To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
    Click Apply.
    I hope this helps,

  • [iPhone SDK] uniqueIdentifier: Does it need to be encrypted?

    Hello,
    I'm writing an iPhone app that connects to a server to fetch data. I want to use
    [[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier]
    to keep track of what gets downloaded to what phones.
    Do I need to encrypt the Unique Identifier before I transmit it to my server? Or is it ok just to leave it as is?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    It's usually good practice to store/transmit any data encrypted. Whether sensitive or not, the traffic is still susceptible to interception.
