I've forgotten my restrictions password. I have "find my iPhone" in restrictions though.
I have "Find my iPhone". I have it turned on in restrictions. I have forgotten the password to my restrictions. I have also downloaded the new iOS 7 as well. I have backed up my phone and tried going through iTunes to go to factory reset but it won't let me because of "Find my iphone". Is there anything else I can try?

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

I have a 5s 7.0.4 that I had set up for finger print password. A confused friend mistook my phone for his and kept trying password until it was revoked. I have "Find My iPhone" turned on and can not find a way to shut it off now. It must be off to do a restore but we need password to turn off. Big circle. Any insight is appreciated. Happy New Year!

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

Stolen iPhone 6
Find my iPhone not activated
But iCloud still shows that it is logged in with my Apple IDIf your phone was stolen an didn't have Find My iPhone turned on the first thing I would do is change your Apple ID password. Immediately after that I would change the password for every app and web account that resides on the iPhone.
When you get your new replacement iPhone make sure that Find My iPhone is turned on and you have a good passcode set up to prevent unauthorized folks from gaining access to your device. -
(I don't think I can set up an iCloud account on my computer because my macbook is too old to update to an operating system that supports iCloud, but could set it up on my brother's computer or something if it would be helpful.) This is just really frustrating because I know my phone is somewhere in either Ridgefield or Danbury, Connecticut, and like I said I do have "find my iphone" installed - just not sure if it's useful at all without already having the iCloud account - but I have no idea where/how to start looking.
The Find My iPhone app does not have to be installed on the device. The app only helps you locate other iOS devices from your device. What has to have happened is for you to have setup iCloud on the device and turn on Find My iPhone there. If that is on, you do not have to worry about installing iCloud on the computer, just open your browser and go to www.icloud.com. From there, log in to your iClooud account and you should be able to locate your device.
If you did not set up iCloud on the iPhone, there is no way for you to track the device. Make sure you change all of your passwords for all accounts you have on the phone, report it to the police and your carrier. -
Recently I changed my apple id but forgot to change my iCloud account.
I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.
I need to be able to turn off Find My Iphone in order to then delete my iCloud account, I need to include my apple id password to turn off Find my Iphone.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.helpmeIphone5s wrote:I also have Find My Iphone activated. My old apple id was an old work email address no longer in use nor can be accessed.Thanks in advance.
Please go to website address: www.idapple.com Go to the blue tab that reads Manage apple id. From there you will have the option to change personal information of your apple id. The fact that the email address you used to create the apple id is no longer accessible as far as an email address goes will not disable you from changing information as part of the apple id account. However to disable the find my device you will need to be able to access this apple id login. Once you are able to access the old apple id account this then will allow you to access the icloud services by going to www.icloud.com from there you will login with your old apple id once logged into icloud.com and you have chosen the correct device you then can erase all contents of the device which then will disable the find my device.
This is one way of doing it. The other way of course would be for you to login to your icloud on your phone using the old Apple id and from there provided you are able to login with password you then can simply disable the find my device inside the icloud account.
Good luck Friend. -
Ipod lost/stolen and I dont have "find my iphone app"
I lost my ipod touch or it got stolen. However i do not have "find my iphone app" installed. Can i still find and locate it?
Only if you had the FindMyiPod service configured before you lost the device, and it's connected to a working Wi-Fi network, and has not been restored to factory defaults by whoever stole it. If you didn't do that, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You should report the theft to your local authorities and change any and all passwords to accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device immediately. Apple will not do anything to help.

I've lost my phone. It's switched off. I don't have find my iPhone app or anything. What can I do?
I have an iPhone 4s and was at my friends house last night. Some people were over. I don't know if it's been stolen or misplaced. It's now turned off but I'm sure it wasn't dead. I've looked all night and morning for it but it hasn't turned up anywhere. Unfortunately I do not have find my iPhone app so I don't know what to do.
not much you can do, change your passwords etc. report it to the police.

If you didn't set up "Find my iPhone" there is no way. Notify your carrier, your insurance company, police, and change any compromised passwords.

I believe someone stole my iPod touch at school. I don't have find my iphone installed on my ipod, only on my iPad. If my ipod still shows on my devices, does that mean it hasn't been erased?
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser 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 the 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 and school
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((
It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone. -

My phone got stolen and I don't have "find my iphone" app, I need a way to track it down
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
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:

I have lost my iPhone 4s and i had it turned off when I laid it down somewhere and I have not installed the find my iPhone app. Is ther anyway possible to locate it.
