If my iCloud storage is full can I still use the "Find my iPhone" app?

Basically I lost my phone. When using the app I tried to play the sound and I cannot hear it. The location says its at my house but my iCloud has been full and I didn't know if the location has been updated. Urghh so frustrating!! Does the phone update the location regardless of iCloud storage amount? Also if the battery is dead will This work??

iCloud storage has nothing to do with using Find My Phone.
If your battery is dead, other than physically looking for your phone, there's no way to locate it.

    If you didn't enable the Find My iPhone function, then you can't track the iPhone.  But it sounds like you did have it turned on, if you're seeing that it's listed in the Find My iPhone app or on icloud.com.  But are you sure it's the same device?  If you had a previous iPhone, and the name of both iPhones was the same, it would make it difficult to know which phone was which, even if they both were listed.
    In any event, an offline device is not trackable.  It could be offline because A) it has no power or B) it is not connected to the internet via cellular data or wi-fi.
    Until it comes back online (and it may never), then it cannot be remotely tracked.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

  • HT4759 My iPad was lost. I am using the Find my iPhone app, but it is not showing there (though the iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    My iPad was lost today. I am using the Find My iPhone app, but it is not showing on the device list or the map (though my iPhones, even one that is not iCloud enabled, is). What can I do?

    The only thing you might do is enable Lost Mode, which will allow you to set a passcode on it (as well as a message and phone number where you can be reached) so it will be locked when and if it does go online.  You can also receive an email informing you if it goes online so you can track it on icloud.com.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.
    In the meantime, you may want to change your passwords.

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - 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.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - 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
    - 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.

  • Can I use the  find my iPhone app from my desktop to locate my iPhone?

    Hey, I lost my iphone somewhere and it is running OS7.  I have a desktop but I don't understand if the app, "find my iphone" is installed on it.  I know it's on my iphone, just wondering how and if I can access from my desktop?  Any help is appreciated.

    Hi.

    You can locate your device on www.icloud.com or on a iOS device with the find my iphone app .

  • Can I use the Find my Iphone app on Itunes?

    Hi, I was wondering if i could use the find my iphone app on itunes, i do not own any other apple device except my phone.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use the find my phone app on your phone if you want, however there doesn't seem much point, since you will have it in your hand when you are using it and therefore know where it is.
    You can enable the find my phone feature through settings >Icloud, and then track your phone at iCloud.com, should it be lost or stolen.

  • Can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Hi. Can I use my iPhone without causing internet-costs? I have got a prepaid-card and my iPhone uses the internet all the time - that costs a lot of money. So can I stop the iPhone from surfing the internet and still use the "find my iPhone" option?

    Find My Phone REQUIRES an internet connection in order to work. Either WiFi or Cellular Data. So, if you turn off Cellular data, you're defeating Find My Phone.

  • Why isn't my iPhone showing up on my iCloud so I can use the Find My iPhone app?

    Hey, okay so I have misplaced my iPhone and it has the Find My iPhone app on it, and is registered, but is not showing up on my iCloud so I can try to activate it.  Is there anything I can do or any alternate process to locate it besides via iCloud?

    i don't want to be that guy on the fourms adding to a 2-year-old topic, but you might want to try updating iTunes. The current version is 11, and that might help with getting the computer to recognize it.
    Also, have you tried unlocking your phone before plugging it in? That would resolve most mount/unmount errors.

  • My iPhone was stolen and the phone is powered off. Is there anyway to command it to turn on so I can use the "Find my iPhone" app to track the location?

    My iPhone 4S was stolen a few days ago, and I was able to track the location with the "Find my iPhone" app. I had it play a sound which alarmed the thief, so they powered the phone off. They have not turned it on for four days now. Is there any way I can command it to power on or anything my service provider (Verizon) can do? Any suggestions will help! Not sure what they are going to do with it since a) they have not turned it on and b) it has a passcode and won't be able to be unlocked.

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • Can I disable Cellular data (US Data plan) and still use the Find My Iphone Service (GPS??) in France?

    I have a US Model iPhone 4 (ATT).  I'll be traveling to France for 2 months and I'd like to be able to disable my cellular data while on travel.
    My questions:
    - Can I do this and still access Wifi? I think yes
    - Can I do this and still use Skype? I think yes
    - Can I do this and still use GPS for the Find My iPhone Service?  I don't know....
    - If I can't do any of the above then what are my options?
    JC

    Find my Phone requires a data connection. If cellular data is turned off, it will be pretty much useless unless you are constantly connected to WiFi, which of course you won't be. Same with Skype, data connection required, so will work when connected to WiFi. Unlees the mapping data is stored locally on your phone, GPS will be useless, as the built in Maps app requires a data connection as none of the data is stored on your phone.
