I lost my iPhone 5 and when I use my ipad mini to search for it, it finds my mini but not my phone?

I lost my iPhone 5 and use the app find my phone using my mini pad, the pad finds itself but not the iPhone

I don't remember if I set the phone up or not, I guess I'm was under the impression that with iOS 7 the phone had a preset installed to find my phone? I'm curious whether apple has the technology to aid me in finding the phone?

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I lost my iPhone and when I'm trying to find it with the location, they say that it is "out of service". What should I do?

    Hello people!
    As I mentionned in my question, I have lost my iPhone I'm feeling very dumb, it is the second time that this happens to me and I really need your help! I don't even know what happened, but when I arrived home after school, I didn't find my phone. The fact is that I was sure to have take it with me, but I haven't, as I see. I went on the apple site: "location of my iPhone" and they told me that my cellphone was out of service. Now, I really don't know what to do and what to think. I serched everywhere, in my car, everywhere in my house, I even went outside to check, but i live in Quebec and it is snowing a lot this winter, so maybe I just didn't see it... Anyways, I'm really scared cause I have 3G on my phone and now they say that I'm not connected to 3G anymore, neither any other internet service. I'm freaking right now. Does that mean that my cellphone is broke, stuck in the snow, or just somewhere that I'm never gonna find out? I'm imagining all the worst possibilities so if you don't want me to die soon, please, help me (try to reassure me if it is possible but if is not, tell me the truth anyways).
    Thank you guys the one who is gonna help is going to have my recognition forever!

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • Turned off my iPhone and when it turned back on some settings were changed, why? Also, album art work not showing up on my iPhone even when it shows up in iTunes

    I turned off my phone using the home key and the top button (an apple customer service personnell told me to do this if it started to act up) and when i turned it back on some of my settings were changed.  I don't remember how everything was set up, so now I have to try and go searching for things that are wrong. Also, my iMessage and FaceTime accounts said that they aren't verified...they were before i turned my phone off.
    Another thing is, is that the album artwork isn't showing up on my iphone, but its in the "get info" section on itunes. AND many times the artwork isn't showing up on itunes...like songs purchased from itunes. This is extremely aggravating. Can someone please please please help me?!

    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)

  • I just lost my iphone and it says it is offline,  how can I know whether my 'find my iphone' on my lost iphone is turn on? Note that I've put my lost iphone in Lost Mode because i can't locate the phone

    Im scared if someone can use my phone without activation lock because find my iphone is turn off

    I believe that the fact that you were able to put the phone into Lost Mode indicates that you did have Find My iPhone setup (turned on). The offline status indicates that it is turned off, battery is dead, or it has no internet connection. More information: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

  • I got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this?

    i got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this and get my information back?

    Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
    The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.

  • I share a macbook with my other half and we both use it for our iphones. When syncing using the new software I now have all of her and my contacts on my phone.  I don't want her contacts! How do I get rid?

    Hi,
    You have 2 solutions:
    1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
    2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
    You configure that in  Settings > icloud
    You activate or desactivate what you want.
    Have a nice day.

  • I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I just bought my first Iphone the 5S and when I turn on my bluetooth the ringtone for my text, calendar, etc. comes through my Bluetooth instead of the phone. Is there a way to have the tones use the phone while bluetooth is on?

    I would also like this issue addressed.
    I am using a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and when it is connected to my iPhone 4, email and text sounds are not audible through the phone. The phone just vibrates when a new text or email is received.
    I don't really care if it plays through the headset, but it should at least play through the phone. I tested the headset from a BlackBerry and the alerts play fine.
