I'm trying to find my iPhone unsing the internet. I have the app on my phone but it's telling me I don't have a mobileme ID?
I went to the mobileme website and it asked me for my apple ID and password. But then when I entered them it told me I needed a mobileme ID. Should I have one just from setting up the app on my iphone?
MobileMe has been closed down - iCloud replaced it. You should have gone through the migration process from MM to iCloud in the past months, it's too late now.
You need to create a new iCloud account (browse to icloud.com with a computer). Then use Settings>iCloud and turn on Find My iPhone for any device you have. That will allow you to track the device if it is lost/stolen. If you have not done that on the lost iphone (and if you have no icloud account), then you can't track it. The Find My iPhone app does not turn on the service, it's only used to find other devices.

Hi, recently I downloaded a picture downloading app because I was trying to upload a video on instagram but now my iPhoto won't work, it says another app is running, I have already deleted the app on my phone but how do i uninstall it on my macbook?
Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit. -

how can i find my lost iphone without the app?
If you enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost, you may be able to track it on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. If you didn't, there is no way to track it.

You can try logging in icloud.com but I doubt you'll be able to find it since you didn't install the app.

Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.
Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.
https://www.icloud.com
You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

FaceTime and iMessages have stopped working since i updated to 7.0.3, saying there is a network error and to try again later. Have tried reinstalling Find my iPhone to see if it works. It doesn't for me. The message says "FaceTime (iMessage) Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". My network is perfectly alright as I keep buying on the App Store. can u please help out???
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset. -
trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available?? and if so, where is it located???
No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not. Can anyone help?
If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

Hi all, im from dubai. someone stolen my iphone5. i was trying to erase my data via find my iphone. in the end there was a notification that remove. i have click remove. then it never shows my device in find my iphone. how can i see my device in my pc...?
Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

Someone tried to find my Iphone, how can I trace who it was?
Apple emailed me and said someone tried to find my iphone, gave me a time date and model of iphone. How can I find out or trace who tried finding my phone?
The most anybody will be able to tell you is that it was somebody who knew (or guessed) the Apple ID and password you use for iCloud, so he/she appeared to *be* you when logged into Find my iPhone. (If you are using Family Sharing, it could be somebody else in your family group or somebody who knew or guessed their iCloud Apple ID and password.)

Can thieves get around Find My iPhone in the iOS 7 version?
Yesterday at the Seahawks game my 5S (32gb, gold) fell out of my pocket when I was jumping like crazy during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown. Someone right next to us picked it up and turned it off right away. My husband immediately put it into "stolen" mode in Find My iPhone, and it had been maybe 10 minutes at the most since it fell out of my pocket.
We did all the right stuff--that phone won't work on the AT&T network at all, we keep checking in with security to see if someone it was left in the stadium, the Seattle PD has an open case, and Apple has the relevant info with the serial number and such. It had a passcode lock plus my fingerprint ID in use.
Unfortunately, the thief still hasn't turned it back on. And I've tried researching but wanted to see if you smart people have any insight here--is there a way someone can still get around this? Like, is there a sophisticated way they could jam the cell signal, not turn on wifi, and somehow break into the phone and jailbreak it or whatever? Or is there hardwired means that the serial number or whatever Apple accesses to ID it as a stolen device just can't be overcome?
Basically, I REALLY hope that it's a brick with absolutely no way to overcome it and by some miracle the phone gets turned in. Our son, who is almost 3, has autism and doesn't speak. The other day he started pointing out letters to me and saying them and it was such a beautiful moment and I grabbed my phone and got it on video, plus I got some cool videos of the actual Seahawks game. We're HUGE fans and only go about once a year. So I'd really love to, by some miracle, get those back.
BUT if I can't get the phone back, ever, I REALLY just want the peace of mind that it's an unusable brick and there's no way that some ahole out there is going around using my phone, nor that they were able to make it usable and sell it and some unknowing person paid $600 and now gets to use my stolen phone.
Anyway, when I called Apple the guy said there's no way that phone can ever be used, no matter what, unless they put in our Apple ID and password, and that it is completely impossible to break into the software and wipe it without accessing the internet, which means we would immediately get the location notification. Even the police officer who took my report said she doesn't understand why people steal iPhones because they are complete bricks and there's no way around it. Still, I just feel like if that were true people wouldn't keep stealing iPhones.
So do any of you have any insight? Thanks for entertainging my obsessing over this shat situation.I should clarify: I didn't know it fell out, but I check my phone often enough that there were only about 10 minutes between when I last put it in my pocket and then realized it wasn't there.
We asked everyone around us if they saw it, and like 10 people were helping us look. But my husband used Find My iPhone and the Prey app right away when we realized it was missing (again, at most 15 minutes from the last time I used it) and it was already in offline / "cannot locate" mode. -
Hi. I have recently finished with an emplyer and have backed up my phone and when i go to restore the back up to another phone it is asking me to turn off the "find my iphone" before the restore can start. Pronlem is im no longer in possesion of this phone and can not turn it off.
Any assistance would be greatIt's not referring to your old phone, it's referreing to the one you're trying to restore to. Where did you get the phone you're trying to restore the backup to?

Error -1 generally indicates a hardware failure.Your phone's broken. Buy a new phone, replace the phone through Apple or an authorised service provider, or find a 3rd party repair shop to attempt to fix it.
