IOS 4.2.1 not found with Find my iPhone

I have two iPod touch 2G with iOS 4.2.1. When I set up iCloud to locate them via the webbrowser they don't appear at all in the devices list. This was not the case with MobileMe. The setup on the iPods seems to be okay. I can switch on the localization feature. What's wrong?

Oh yes I forgot to say that you must have your copy of iPhone3,14.1_8B117Restore.ipsw
and you must hold down the shift key when you click on the restore button in iTunes in order to get the box that allows you to choose the restore file usually located C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
And yes I am using the latest iTunes 10.1.0.54
Hope this helps until there is a better solution to get iOS 4.2.1 installed.
(Maybe iOS 4.2.2 ?)

  • Upgrading to IOS 5 and can not go past find my iphone?

    I can not go any further then the find my iphone.  I have pressed "use find my iphone" and "don't use find my iphone", neither will work.

    I haven't experienced this myself, but other users (in another post) who have, have suggested turning off the phone and then switching it back on again.

  • Stuck in guided access (Not setup with find my iphone)

    I am stuck in Guided access. I have an apple iPad 2, and resetting the iPad does not fix it. Also, "Find my iPhone" is not enabled. I can no longer triple-click the home button to enter a pass-code (The passcode that I do not know). I am so mad!! Please!? Does anyone know how to fix it?

    Hello KendraEM,
    I can see how that can be frustrating. I would try to do a reset on your iPad by holding the Sleep/wake button and Home button until you see the Apple logo. Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • If your computer is reformatted can it still be found with find my iphone or any other method?

    See title

    Apple will do nothing to assist.  Problems about proof of ownership are too complex.  Once the computer has been formatted it cannot be traced by Find My iPhone or any other software process.

    select org structure where your user is and check that you have green lights (no missing address....)
    2- Run transaction USERS_GEN
    Select check user
    Is everything correct or does the user need to be repaired ?
    Kind regards,

  • I've lost my iPhone5 like 40 hours ago. I already turned the Lost mode on with Find my iphone app. But my phone has no data plan so it could not connect to the internet at all. I reported to the police, too. What else can I do? Can anybody advise?

    No...see the link I posted:
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • Ios 7 air drop not working with mountain lion air drop

    Hi, didn't see an iOS 7 forum, so I'm posting it here since I was testing it out on my iPhone 5.
    I tried to use air drop to share photos b/w my iPhone and my MBP running mountain lion, both has air drop enabled, but I couldn't see either on the air drop window.
    is iOS 7 air drop not compatible with OSX air drop??
    bluetooth and wifi are on for both machines.
    thanks

    I have a Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio i5.  Also, even before reading your suggestions, I moved my phone hand set away from the iPad.  There aren't any other sources within 10 feet although the phone base is within 30 feet.  The WiFi router is about 5 feet away.  Haven't had a chance to "troubleshoot" the connection.
    Have you any suggestions for Air Drop or Air Print?  My Pixma MP 450 which in excellent working order isn't compatable with either OS 10.9.x or iOS 7.
    Canon suggested a Pixma MG 3520 which was hellatious to set up, requiring a big download and both a USB cable and Ethernet connection to the router, and isn't working with the iPad. 
    Clearly, technological "advancements" are for teeny boppers who spend their time taking phone pictures, sending mindless messages and listening to music.  Oh, to be 14 again.
    Sorry about the bitters.  Rare opportunity to vent to adults.

    Only if you walk around and look for it/ask others if they have seen it.

  • Can a mac running windows with Boot Camp be found by Find My iPhone

    I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro via BootCamp and I'm using the Find My iPhone iCloud app on my iPad. My MacBook Pro cannot be found by Find My iPhone, it's labeled as off-line, even though it's connected to the Internet.
    So my question is this: is there a way for Find My iPhone to see my Mac while running Windows. Note, I've already got iCloud for Windows installed on the Windows side of my MacBook Pro (and Find My Mac turned on on the Mac side, and while on the Mac side, it's always found, no problem.)

    When you iPhone is not connected to the Internet either through 3G/Wi-fi or because it is off then you cannot track it.
    If FindMyiPhone is enabled, even if the iPhone is off or not on wifi/3G, it will still show in FindMyiPhone under Devices, though it cannot be located.
    If it is not showing No Devices, FindMyiPhone is not enabled.
    If it does show in Devices and shows Offline, FindMyiPhone is enabled but it is off or not on wifi/3G.
    This is one way to remove the activation lock if you do not have the device. Delete it from FindMyiPhone in iCloud.

  • Can somebody help me with Find My IPhone

    For the last week my Find My IPhone App doesn't work.  I have a 3GS updated to the most recent software and most recent update for the App.  My kids have the 4S models and none of the apps work .  After sign in "no device found".  Please help... Many thanks

    The iCloud ID that you log into Find My iPhone on the computer, or on the app has to match the one the other devices are logged in with. The Find My iPhone has to be turned on in iCloud settings as well.You do not need to have the app installed on the phone. That app is only used to try and locate another iOS device. It does not activate the Find My iPhone on the device, that is done in settings.

  • Is there a way to find my iPhone 4s if I did not download the find my iPhone app?

    Is there a way to find my iPhone 4s if I did not install the find my iPhone app?

    The app has nothing to do with this. The app allows someone to locate their iOS device with your iOS device.
    Now, what if he had the app installed, and someone else did too, by what you're saying, he could then track his iPhone using theirs.
    So the app actually has some bearing, not much, but it's there. I was merely stating that without either the app, or iCloud, then no, he cannot track it. But he can use iCloud because he possibly has Find My iPhone activated.
    Now, why don't we both be good little children, shake hands, wander off, and try to help some people rather than argue with eachother for no apparent reason?

  • I can not restore because I can not turn off Find my Iphone

    Hello,
    I'm using iphone 5 with ios 7. I just upgraded ios 7 today. after upgrade I realised that passcode was activated before upgrade I was not using that feature. I forgot my passcode so I got my phone disabled for a while. I searched the discussions and saw that I need to restore and then restore from back up to have the passcode to disable. When I try to restore my phone I got the below message:
    Find My iPhone must be turned off before “Jean” can be restored.
    Go to iCloud Settings on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone.
    I can not turn off Find my Iphone because my phone locked and I forgot the passcode.
    Anyone can help?

    Follow the steps above to remove it from the account, but then
    "After the device has been removed from the account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally. "
