If I block safari will find my iphone still work

If I block safari app on iPhone 5c will FIND MY IPHONE Still work?

Yes, blocking all data would prove to be a problem for Find My iPhone, and it would only work when connected to wi-fi. Also, you could not block other internet browsers, except you could block the installation of other apps. You could restrict Safari and the installation of apps, which would prevent using Safari and installating other web browsers, and that should still allow cellular data for Find My iPhone. You would also have to look at any other data using apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. that would user Internet if you were to see about not using Smart Limits. That is a hard call to make.

  • Mobileme is dead.  Will find my iPhone still work?

    mobileme is dead.  Will find my "Find my iPhone" still work much longer?
    It seems to for now, but did Apple mention a replacement for "Find my iPhone" without mobileme?
    -Apple 2GS

    MobileMe is NOT dead - where did you get that idea?  iCloud will eventually replace MobileMe, but it's still in beta and there will be MANY announcements about the transition before it occurs.  Right now, iCloud also provides Find My Phone,  but I wouldn't rely on it as it's still beta code.

  • Will find my iPhone still work with my iPod Touch 2Gen with iCloud?

    Once I'm forced to upgrade my MobileMe account to iCloud, will I still be able to find my (and my sister's as well) iPod Touch 2nd Generation running iOS 4.2.1? or my mom and dad's iPhone 3G (non-3GS) for that matter?
    I am really less than impressed by iCloud's system requirements and the vast load of devices that worked together and now with iCloud suddenly don't. It really doesn't reward the longtime Apple customers.
    Andrew.

    If you erase the device and re-configure it for you and your Apple ID, then he cannot track you without knowing your Apple ID and password. And, be sure you enable Find My Phone via iCloud preferences on your computer.

  • If I change my Apple password as a security precaution because my phone has been lost and switched off, will Find My iPhone still function? That is, will it be able to connect to iCloud, as the password on the phone is still the old one.

    My phone is lost – not stolen, and may still be returned. Not long after I lost it, it was switched off, or died (it was at about 6%), so I can't find it using Find My iPhone. I realized I should change all my important passwords, as the passcode can be compromised by various methods. One password I changed was for my Apple account.
    Now I'm realizing that I shouldn't have done that. What if the phone comes back online – but my AppleID password has changed; will the phone still be able to connect to Apple with the old credentials so my message is sent?
    When I realized this I tried to go back to my old password – but Apple won't let me use one I used in the last year. Any way around this?

    when you change your Apple iD it's pretty much changing the visual email, i guess that doesn't really answer your question, yes you keep your purchases, it just changes the log-in email and email where newsletters , etc. go to.

  • Lost iphone 5, turned off, wiped it icloud.. will find my phone still work?

    Hi guys, lost my iphone 5 last night. will find my phone app still work if i had used the icloud option to wipe my phone?

    thanks.

    - 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. Of if FinfMyiPod was turned off
    - 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

  • If i sign out of icloud on my mac, will find my mac still work?

    Under System Preferences - > iCloud, I have enabled "Find My Mac" and I want to use "Back to my Mac" as well.
    I have a very simple question...
    Will either of these features operate if I sign out of iCloud in the preference pane?  I would like to make it a little more secure by requiring authentication to access or disable these features.
    Thanks.

    No.
    Also, if you sign out, your contacts, calendars and bookmarks will stop syncing. iCloud is designed to be left signed in if you are using any of the services it provides.

  • Will Find my iPhone work with 3G?

    I have an iPhone 4 and a 3G.   With MobileMe, Find My iPhone works perfectly for both phones.    I'm planning to migrate to iCloud.  Will Find my iPhone still work with my 3G phone?

  • Will the find my iphone app work if i sign out of icloud?

    Will Find My Iphone App work if I sign out of ICloud?

    You need to log into iCloud with your Apple ID under Settings->iCloud to Turn on Find my iPhone for each iPhone.
    With that done, you can use the App on each iPhone to find the other. You do not need to go to iCloud.com.  But you do need to log into the App with the Apple ID you used to log into iCloud in settings.
    You cannot use the App without turning on Find My iPhone in Settings on each iPhone, and you cannot do that without logging into iCloud.

    Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on. 
    Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone.  Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
    but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password.  I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
    Any help please. 
    I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id.  Hopefully this is a good thing!

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
    The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said).

  • How will find my Iphone work on an Iphone that has no service

    How will find my Iphone work on an Iphone that has no service and it locked so if someone found it they would not be able to connect it to a wifi source.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    Great link giving you peace of mind that at least they will not be able to use it with out your AppleID and Password.
    According to the "Lost Mode" anytime the device is turned back on or able to receive a signal the phone will lock itself down and it's position will be updated to show its last known location.

  • Find my iphone not working on macbook pro

    Find My iPhone is working accurately on all my other devices and laptops. However on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012, running current Yosemite 10.10.1) it is not. As you can see from the image below on the MacBook Pro doing an iPhone search produces a confused image of 4x small maps of the same area and places the iPhone nowhere near any of them. Find my iPhone does this on my Macbook Pro (only), no matter which one of my 3 iPhones I try to find. Anyone with any clues on how to fix this? Thanks.

    Well, YAY! Browsers can be like that. For the longest time, the only way I could look at my digital paycheck was by going to the site using Safari. Now Firefox will display it, but don't know if that was because of a change in Firefox, or a change on the ADP website....sometimes they just don't play well together.
    Glad you are all sorted now!

  • Find my iPhone not working

    My son's iPhone 4s was locked a few months ago by some friends who were playing a joke on him.  They input the wrong passcode over and over again until it was locked indefinietly.  I had to restore the iPhone using a method I found online and got his phone working again.  I didn't realize it until recently, but his Find My iPhone app no longer works.  It is on and logged in as my Apple ID (although I have to continually put the password in).  Anytime I try to use Find My iPhone to locate his phone, it shows me that his phone is offline.  Even when I open the app on his phone and try to locate his phone, it says it's offline.
    I feel that this issue has something to do with the restore that I did.  I don't remember exactly HOW I restored the phone, but know I used iTunes.  I've checked his settings for Location Services and Find My iPhone...All are active and Find My iPhone is active on my sons phone. His phone is also updated to the most recent iOS software. The wierd thing is, I CAN find him or his phone using the Find Friends app.  He has a tendency to misplace his phone in our home and the Find My iPhone app is great because it allows me to send a signal to play a sound to help us locate it.  The Find Friends app doesn't have that capability.  Has anyone else had an issue with Find My iPhone not working after a restore?

    Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
    Why your iPhone (iPad, or iPod Touch) not appear in Find My iPhone?
    Here are some reasons:
    Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
    Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
    The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
    Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
    Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
    Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
    Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
    Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.
