IOS 7 and Find My Device Function

Hello everyone, my first post so hopefully I don't screw up. I would like to ask about the new Activation Feature when you wipe your idevice and you will need your apple ID and Password in order to recover your device. So once you enable the "Find My Device" function and it ask you for your apple id and you give it, you are all set.
Here is my question, working in an enterprise environment, I would like to ask the Admin in the form with this kind of scenario:
You assign an iDevice to a New Hire (iPhone or iPad) and they are using the latest OS 7.x. The user sets up there Apple ID and Password and also enables “Find My iDevice” feature. Then the user leaves the company for whatever reason and now I have a device that I cannot re-assign to anyone else because I don’t have the users Apple ID and Password.
What do I do in this situation? What is apples solution to this problem? Please Share and Thank You In Advance.
Josh

The devices in question are designed with an individual user in mind. You are apparently interested in a mass deployment scenario. I am not aware of any management software or profiles that could accomplish what you are asking, That is not to say that they do not exist. But this forum is more for user to user suggestions - as opposed to managing a number of devices from a business standpoint. That being said, perhaps you would be better off having your IT personnel check with enterprise sales/support for business solutions allowing company control.
Best of luck.

I lost my phone, and find my device app wont show its offline, does this mean my phone got restore?

It might have been restored, turned off, or just not have a data connection to the internet (such as by removing the sim card and turning off wifi). If it appears on the devices list in Find My iPhone, you can issue a Lost Mode command, which will lock it with a passcode and display a message of your choosing if and when it goes back online (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165).

Multiple iCloud accounts and find my devices

Finder and finding your device

Would like to know if it's possible to make sure your devices - a USB drive in this case - shows up in devices every time it's connected . I don't know why but finding my external drive is hit or miss in that column and it drives me crazy. Finder seens to want me to play hide and seek. I've googled and I know I'm not the only one who can't find their device sometimes. Did read all the answers but not convinced any of them will solve the problem for good. I know you have to tick external devices in preferences. I'm wondering if it's the port itself not reporting to Finder - lol . Can't think of a better way to put it, sorry - not into tech and newbie to Mac.
May I also ask if it is possible to keep Finder's opening page in front of you so you don't need to go back and forth to the dock?
Appreciate your time.

You are most likely using a secure internet connection that is being exposed in Oak Harbor. One way to test this out is to open up Maps and click on the cross hair target in the bottom left and it should do as you described. Another way to verify is if you visit http://speedtest.net (on your computer, not the iPT) and see where your location is (marked as the person). If your location says the same thing, you are most likely behind a secure connection (such as VPN) or using dynamic IP addressing.
I also think that the location goes based off what you registered your iTunes account home location as because when I used a free locating service called DNDetails (http://dndetails.com/location.php) to find my IP's location on the map, it would always pull up another town miles away.

IOS 7 and the disappearing "define" function?

After upgrading my iPhone 5, bought about 60 days ago, to iOS7, my define function seems unsupported.
There was a iPhone 5 discussion about it, and I tried the GENERAL/INTERNATIONAL/LANGUAGE fix, but could not get any of the listed dictionaries to download.
Any iOS 7 gurus out there?
thanks

When you press define, an empty window pops up. If you press manage in that window, a list of dictionaries is displayed that you can install from. Hope this helps :)

IOS 8 and no airplay devices

I have been having issue after the OS 8.0.2 update with Airplay devices populating on Airplay options screen.
I am on an iPhone 5S.
My devices are
Airport Express latest code
Airport Express Latest code
Airport Express Latest code
Denon Receiver - Latest firmware
Apple TV version 1.2
Apple TV Version 1.3
This occurs intermittently and usually only one or two devices show up. Often a restart of the phone or whichever device I am using (iPad Mini Retina or my Wife's iPhone 5S) will then show the various devices, although they never all appear at once, they populate one a time over a few minutes post reboot of phone.
This is a major issue as I have configured both the conference rooms at our Ad Agency for Airplay usage and the home automation system at my house in the same way.
I do hope an update will be out soon to resolve this issue. Mdns /Bonjour DNS type issues maybe?
Please help Apple. Excalate this issue. I have seen it in various forums and threads, but publicly it has not been recognized on behalf of Apple. Admit there is an issue and we will wait for a fix.
Thanks

I should mention that in 8.1 this issue has not been as much of an issue.

Find my device flaw???

Hi there!
I just got an iPad and just testing the "find my device" function towards my iPhone.
What I discovers was that if you delete your account, at the bottom of the"iCloud" in the setting area, all the optional sliders disappears and your prompted to the login to iCloud's Screen. Even if you can "restrict changes" to "find my iPhone/iPad" under general/restrictions to make it impossible to turn find my device off, if it gets stolen, The function seems completely obselite to me. I mean why could you protect the slider of "find my device" when you instead just should delete the account? There is nothing in general/restrictions to restrict iCloud's with. Or does it store location data in find my device even after you have deleted your iCloud acc??
Am I missing something here???
Regards mike

Okey so that's it? Isn't there any other tracking apps? Read something about someone who got their mac stolen, he had a "hidden service" app (as someone in the debate called it). It took photos and mailed them to him, so he got pics of the theif. And I think there was some location tracker as well built in. You know anything about this?

HP Imaging Device Functions causing errors on LAN

I have 4 computers on my LAN.   For months now, I have been seeing errors on the Ethernet interfaces of 2 computers (netstat -e). The errors occured at regular intervals and seemed to be asscociated with the HP Printer SW associated with the Photosmart C7280 which was configured as a network printer.     (TCPVIEW showed the only network connections being made at the time errors occurred were to the printer.)    The performance of the Internet Explorer was poor and as other networking activities such as sending e-mail were very slow.
When booting the machines in Safe Mode with Networking, the errors do not occur and the performance if IE was significantly better.    I finally got around to investigating this.   My first attempt was to turn off all printer shareing to stop communciation between machines.   This made no difference.    However,   as soon as I uninstalled HP Cutomer Participation Progam 10.0 and HP Imaging Device Functions 10.0 and restarted , the errors completely disappeared.   IE 8 ran like a charm and email clients stopped reporting errors when sending.   I suspect the problem is related to the Digital Imaging Device Functions but I am reluctant to reinstall lest the problem reappear.
Does anybody know the root cause?

After further investigation, I have narrowed this problem down to the Pml Driver HPZ12 service    By disabling this service and rebooting, the problem with errors appearing on the LAN interfaces go away and browsing the Internet is fast.
Along the way I noticed several things.   This problem may be related to the specific Windows Version or aggravated by other SW installed that uses the network.   I installed the complete suite of All-In-One Printer SW (V 10.0.1) on a freshly installed and updated XP Home Edition (SP3) machine with no other SW installed and  no errors occurred on the LAN interface even when I left the system running for days.      However, I un-installed and re-installed the same SW on an XP Professional (SP3) machine which has AV SW, Skype and other SW that uses the network and the errors appear as soon as the Pml Driver Serv ice starts after booting. If I disable the Pml Driver Service and reboot, there are no errors.   Now here is the weird part.    If I manually stop/start the Pml Driver Service, I do not seem to get the errors.
If the Pml Driver service is enabled so that it starts automatically, you get the errors, but typically the count grows to between 50 and 100 and then stabilizes.   However, if a program like Skype (which also uses UDP) starts automatically at the same time the Pml Driver service starts, then you get many more errors and the number keeps growing over time. My guess is that the Pml Driver has a bug in its initialization but I cannot guess what it might be?   Port conflict?

HT201365 Find My iPhone no longer works for me to know where my wife and children's phones are. In earlier IOS versions, I added my iCloud account to their devices and only had Find My iPhone function active. Can't do that now; what do I do?

Before IOS 7, I created an account on my wife and childrens iPhones, iPads and iPod devices with my iCloud account, only having the Find My iPhone function turned on. It worked great. Now, with IOS 7, it is not working and I don't have the option to have the Find My iPhone function on my iCloud account on their devices. Does anyone know how to make this work? My family loses their devices frequently and I am concerned I won'e be able to help them find them. Thanks!!

They only need their main iCloud account to have Find My iPhone on. If your account is not their main account it won't work. Only one account can enable that function on a device. They don't need to have the app on their devices unless you want them to find you.
If you can see the devices when you log into their accounts on your Find My iPhone app they are being recognized by the app. But as Winston said if they're not turned on, if they are not on a network, cell or wifi, then they will read as offline. This often happens when I look for my wife's phone when she is at work, her wifi system there does not keep the connection active when the device goes to sleep and in some areas of the building there is poor to no cell connection. And sometimes the service just doesn't pick them up for no obvious reason.
iOS 7 has several annoying glitches right now that hopefully will be resolved soon and this could be one for you. I would try this again by having all the devices in one location , restart all of them, make certain the function is enabled on all of them and that wifi is connected ( if you have a wifi network available ) or that they are connected to a cell network with a strong signal. Then launch the app on your phone and log in with their accounts, their locations should show up.

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

In the new iOS-7 Safari, has the "reader" function been changed to eliminate the option to modify font size (and hence to modify the number of words per line), or is it just that I can't find how to do that?

When updating to ios 7, my airport does not function in my ipad and iphone. No icon appears...I´ve check I´ve got last firmware on aiport utility, and also I´ve restart both devices... thanks for your support..

HI!, When updating to ios 7, my airport does not function in my ipad and iphone. No icon appears ...I´ve check I´ve got last firmware on aiport utility, and also I´ve restart both devices... buth still not working

Restart your AirPort Base Station or other router if that's what you have. Unplug it and allow a moment or two for it to reset before plugging it back in again.
If that does not work, try resetting your network settings: on the iPad and iPhone, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, select your network then "Forget this Network". Select the network again, provide its password, and verify you can connect.
If that does not work, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Select your network again as above.
If that does not work, "hard reset" your AirPort Base Station, assuming you are using one and not some third party product. You will need to reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.
