I lost my iPad a year ago and i just found the find my iPhone app can i use it?
i lost my ipad a year ago i left it in my job's bathroom and some kids took it but i didnt realize that until the next day. I just saw the find my iphone app but i wasnt sure if i could use it even though i never downloaded it in my ipad ?
If you didn't have MobileMe or iCloud on the iPad, no. I'm pretty sure it's a setting, so it would need to be turned on. Also, there's the chance that it's been Restored, turned off, sold for candy, etc.

I lost my iphone in Guatemala City and just downloaded the Find My iPhone app to my MacBook Pro. How do I launch the app & locate my phone?
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.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can) -
How can I find or track my iPad mini when it keeps showing offline on the find my iPhone app?
You can't. If its offline it can't be tracked. The device needs to be powered on and connected to an Internet connection to be trackable.

If i don't have the find my iphone app, can I still find my lost itouch?
If i don't have the find my iphone app, can I still find my lost itouch?
If you didn't enable it on your iPod before it was lost you can't. If you did, you may be able to locate it by going to icloud.com from your computer browser, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.

I lost my new apple 4S iphone I believe at Newport Village in Port Moody, BC, Canada. I immediately called my network Telus Mobility and reported the phone lost / stolen. They then put the phone on restricted service. A day later one of my friends / contacts in my phone received a call from a person who was at Newport Village and had found my iphone. The unknown person wanted Miles (my friend) to meet him at Newport Village so he can return my iphone. Unfortunately my friend was not arround to meet this unknown person who found the phone. Miles (my friend told this person that he could leave the phone at the local IGA only feet from Newport Village. I went to the IGA but to my surprise the phone was NOT there. I immediately installed the app "Find my iphone" when I first bought this new iphone 4S but everytime I check it, it says that my device is not on. So I'm wondering what the best way I can go about finding my iphone. I was told by my Telus rep that I could relay a message to the iphone offering a reward should he return it to me. Please if you can help me in any way, I would be eternally greatful. I'm on disability and on a fixed income so simply replacing the phone is not an option for me.
<Email Edited by Host>If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

I Lost my iPod. touch , and i have information on there how do i delete my twiiter , facebook and etc. amd photos from it through the computer and my password is easy please PLEASE HELP . God Bless. i just dont want my life out there .
If you did not set up your Touch for Find My iPhone prior to it being lost there is no way to remotely remove any of the information. In any case they would have to connect it to the internet to do so. Change all your passwords and don't worry about it.

I bought a iphone 4 off ebay and i hace a apple id but since i cant since they have find my iphone i cant not sign in with my apple id so i can not active it what can i do to fix it ?
Until your friend do this read below

You have a brick, Apple and this forum cannot help. -
some help or some explanation would be nice because i rly need this app and now after the update im not able to locate my device
Not sure if it would help or not, but if you haven't already done so, some things you could try are:
Tap Sign Out on the top right of the app, then sign back in
Force close the app by going to the home screen, double-tapping the home button, locating the app in the list at the bottom, tapping and holding the app until it wiggles, tapping to close it, then tapping the home button again.
Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Find My iPhone off, the after a minute or so, turn it back on. -
Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.
And what exactly is your problem? Other than going of on a tangent about Adobe's alleged evilness preventing you to activate whatever CS3 product, you have not provided any useful info such as what exact problem you have, what system, what product we are axctualyl talking about and so on.

TS4006 I lost my iPad and it's not showing up on the devices list of the Find my iPhone App
I lost my iPad and now it's not showing up on the Find my iPhone App devices list. I just have my iPhone and my iPad on it. I know that the app is enabled on my iPad b/c I have tested it from my iPad in the past. Any ideas why it's not showing up on the devices list? And how can I get it back on my device list so I can find it?
Is the app compatible with the iOS on the phone? Do you have automatic downloads enabled on the phone?

[1] Did I lose the ability to track the iPad now that I've selected to Erase it?
[2] Or can I stop that since its "Pending"?
[3] Also if there is a way to access the iPad and be able to Rename it and access Camera why are they continuing to ask for my password?
[4] if they can do that what's stopping them from being able to access other features on the ipad?
It is my understanding from these documents that if it is on and connected to the internet you can track it. In there it tells how tell if it is online by the color of the dot.
Read carefully, it is all in there
I still think this person is bluffing, but what confuses me is how this person knew how to contact you (?) You must not have had any security on it at all when lost.
Likely nothing (see #3)
If it were mine, I would erase it to make an expensive paperweight out of it and call it lessons learned - that is if at this point you still can, punch the button!
I can only go by what the Apple documents have told us, as your situation seems totally unique to any I have heard. -
Hello, my Ipad was stolen about a week ago, I activated the "find my iPhone" app, however it says my Ipad is offline since the day it was stolen, does anyone know…:
1. Is there another way I can track its location, or more importantly have the information stored on my Ipad erased ASAP?
2. Taking into consideration I blocked the iPad using the find my iPhone app, is there anyway the iPad can be used? Can someone erase all the data, my itunes account, reset all settings etc.? before connecting online?
3. How can I recover my photos? I already signed in to icloud on my PC and I have no "Photo" icon, does this mean that they are lost?
Thank you!What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. 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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?
The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online. You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords. -
My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?
Anything is possible.
