I recently lost my iPhone and tried to use "Find my iPhone" but did not see my phone listed. Why is that?
If it is not turned on and connected to the Internet it will not show up. If has been restored to factory condition it will not show up.

i recently lost my 3rd Gen iPod and ive been using find my iPhone to send messages to it, my email then instantly tells me that it had been displayed or it suonded off however it doesn't find the iPod's current location. you guys think this app actually works? i feel like my alerts are just bouncing back at me. please help. Thanks!
... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975

Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car. -

I have multiple iphones and want to use find my iphone how do I track more than 1 phone
How do I set up multiple iPhones on 1 account for "find my iPhone"?
Find My iPhone is tied to the iCloud account that each device is using. You can track all your phones without sharing the same iCloud account by going to icloud.com, signing into the account that the phone you want to track is using, and clicking Find My iPhone. This can also be done from your phone by using the Find My iPhone app (available in the App store).
Of course, you could track them all using a single ID if you were willing to share the iCloud account across all the phones. However, there are significant disadvantages to doing this. They would all share the same 5GB of free iCloud storage, the same iCloud email account, the same photo stream, and all the synced data (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) would be merged across all of the phones. If they belong to different people, you would end up with each other's data on your phones. -

hello, i have lost my ipod (5th generation) and i have tried to use ' find my iphone' but it says my ipod is offline so i think its dead....what should i do?
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

Did you have Find My iPhone enabled on your iPhone in its settings? If so, go to www.icloud.com and use your Apple iCloud ID to use the Find My iPhone app.

My iPhone (and iPad) will receive .msn e-mails but will not allow me to respond or forward, giving an error message that says the username or password are incorrect for the SMTP, but the same configuration allows me to receive AND send from my MacBook - what can I do to correct this?
Alright, I'll take a mea culpa on this. I just recalled the one thing I didn't try which was establishing an application-specific password for the phone:

Hi My Iphone has just been stolen and I cant use 'find my iphone' feature what should I do now, it has important notes and photos?
Change all your passwords. Notify your carrier and the police of the theft. Check to see if your homeowners or renters insurance may cover some of the cost of replacing it.
