Ipod Lost/stolen question Find Iphone App

My son has had his ipod stolen and I have a question I can not find an answer to in the discussion pages. On his Ipod I have the wifi turned on and ask to join networks turned off. The find my Iphone app does work on his Ipod, but my question is this will the Ipod connect to an open network that it has never seen before with out being told to connect to the network? My son has a passcode on the screen so it is locked. I have also placed it into lost mode from the find my Iphone App. So now I am kinda just waiting for it to go online so the app will locate it. Am I just wasting my time waiting or will the Ipod auto connect to a network by itself?

Correct
- 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
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

You can't track it if:
1. It' not turned on and connected to internet
2. It's wiped

My MBA was stolen. I need to buy a replacement the next day bec I used it for work. I downloaded the Find iPhone apps and registered my stolen MBA. If I will erase MAC will it also erase the data of my new MBA?

did you turn 'find my mac' ON your MBA BEFORE your it was stolen? if not, you will not be able to do anything to the stolen MBA
if you did turn it on before it was stolen, yes it will erase everything on the MBA

My MacBook Air was stolen and the id changed before I could erase it via "Find iPhone" app - can Apple erase my machine if I provide my serial number?

What does it mean when a lost phone stops showing up on device list on find iPhone app?

What does it mean when a lost iPhone stops showing up in device list on find iPhone app?

That means:
The battery is dead
The phone has been turned off
The phone is no longer connected to the cellular network or a WiFi network
The Find my iPhone service has been turned off
The phone has been wiped.
The bottom line is, it means you're probably never going to be able to locate it unless you can physically find it.

If the iPhone is powered off, you cannot locate the iPhone with Find My iPhone.

You can initiate an remote erase if or when the iPhone is powered back on.

Find Iphone App

Hi
Our company has a number of Iphones and Ipads all of which the users are using there own private Apple accounts, now with the Find Iphone app this will only work if your devices are registered to the same account. Is there away as a company that we can track the Ipads and Iphones purchased for employees in case they get stolen or lost.
We have a list of the serial numbers of the units being sent out so just need to add them into an app for the company.
Regards
Clive

The only way to track is using Find My iPhone and the device must either be setup with the same Apple ID as all the others or the employees using their personal Apple ID's would need to provide their credentials if the company wants to track them.
Basically, if the device is lost/stolen and it is setup with the employee's Apple ID. That employee needs to log into iCloud.com and track the device. Not sure why the company needs to be involved.

Download ios 7, and the location function is off, I can not access because I forgot the key constraints, I can not restore the iphone because I can not find iphone app access

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:

I cannot find my Mac and other devices connected to my Time Capsule on the "Find iPhone" app

I replaced a three year old cisco router with a new 2TB TC. Now, none of the devices that used to show up on the "Find iPhone" app show up. They display as "online, location not available." This only applies to the Mac, iPad, and iPod connected to the internet through the TC. The iPhones that connect through the TC show up on "Find iPhone".
I've checked the articles for any kind of "location services" or other settings that need to be changed but I can't find them. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry .. I misunderstood what the question was about.
Do you have the Apple ID set in the TC?
I have no idea if this is important or not, but the actual app seems to have nothing to do with the TC.. and everything to do with icloud. I cannot recall seeing the question.. you might do better posting the question with the developers of the app.

I left my iPad on a plane - find iPhone app says offline

I left my iPad on a plane powered completely down. When I use the find iPhone app (which had always worked in the past) it lists the iPad, my iPhone, and my iPod. When I first open the app on my phone, it says my iPhone is "this device" and has a green dot. It says my iPod touch is "locating..." then eventually goes to "offline" (because I have it off). For the missing iPad, it never says "locating..." it only says "offline" immediately when I open the app. I had just updated to iOS 7.0.2. I have the four digit code on the iPad but is it possible that someone wiped it clean already and that's why is says offline without even trying to "locate" it?
Any help would be very appreciated.
I already filed a claim with the airport and the airline - I am just debating if I should erase it or wait and see if someone responds to my "lost mode" message and calls my cell.

You don't sound stupid to me at all. Everybody has forgotten something of value or significance somewhere at some time or another. It is no fun at all when it is something of this value and your chances of getting it back are so slim.
I would really encourage you to use a passcode from the beginning with the next device though - it really is the only true security you have for your material on a mobile device. Anything you can do after the fact is never as good as having the device secured beforehand.
Also be sure to check with the airline in case you are lucky and it turns up in their lost and found (some airports and airlines actually have brick and mortar stores to sell all the stuff left behind and never claimed - there is a big one in Atlanta for example with everything from clothes to jewellery to golf clubs to cameras and laptops).
Also check your home owners or renters insurance policy to see if they cover such items while traveling (mine does, but the deductable is also $500 I think).

Can the Find iPhone app find devices that aren't mine?

So my MacBook Pro was stolen a couple weeks ago out of my rental car while I was in Seattle, WA. I had iCloud on it synced with my iPhone, but never used it or saved anything to it. Someone told me that I could find my stolen computer though iCloud, but when I read up on it it I was under the impression it would only track other devices from a computer, not the other way around. Anywho, I bought a brand new MacBook Pro today and setup iCloud on it. i then downloaded the Find iPhone app for my phone and two MacBook Pros appeared as my devices. My brand new one named "Jeff's MacBook Pro", and the other under somone elses name. A location was given for mine and I was able to lock it and send messages from my phone. The other one could not be located and the messages are still pending to be sent. Is it possible that my MacBook Pro appeared since I still have it registered under my name on apple.com or could this just be someone elses?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Some macs will continue to be tracked even after Find my phone has been disabled, but it has to be turned on first
Did you enable Find My Phone on your macbook before it was stolen.

How to use Find Iphone app to track my child and they not track me?

Just bought my kid an Iphone 4S, just like mine:) I want to use "Find Iphone" app to track him occasionally. AND I want to use the Icloud to see what pictures he is taking and what websites he is visiting. However, I don't want him to track me neither do I want him to be able to access my information over the Icloud.
How is this possible?

Basic questions on iPhone apps. Please help!

Hey I have a few semi-basic questions about iPhone apps. If you know the answers to any of them please respond as it would help me ton. Even if you dont know the exact answer, it'll help me with any input. Trapster is a good example of what im looking for because it uses a map and it receives/sends small amounts of data constantly.
1) How much on average does it cost to hire a group of people to code an app for you. Specifically, how much do you think the app Trapster took to program? Are there any specific other apps you know how much it took to code? I need estimates, because I have nothing. A number like 50,000 would help a ton more other then saying "it depends" .....
2) Apps like Trapster, send and receive small amounts of data all the time? What controls all of this data? Im guessing a server. But what are the server's specs? How many? Price per month?
3) With 3.0 SDK now out, you are now allowed to implement google maps into 3rd party applications. Now I know you cannot use it for turn-by-turn navigation. But can you still use the directions feature already on google maps? Can you still use the search feature to search for a restaurant as well? Or maybe you can just see the map and thats it. Does anyone know exactly what you can use with google maps or know where there is more information? Ive tried everywhere.
4) Just tell me if this is correct: You can add advertisements into your app. On average, for every 1000 times your app gets opened, you get about 1.00-2.00. So if your app gets opened 2,000,000 times you get $2,000 from advertising if you get 1.00/1000. Is that accurate as an average?
5) Since 3.0 now supports push notifications, would you be able to have anything at all running in the backround? For example, on trapster, if you approach a red light camera, the app beeps. With 3.0, if you are on the home screen and approaching the camera, is there a way of getting the iphone to beep even though your just on the iphones main screen or any other screen? Im guessing not because in order to receive the push the iphone needs to know your current location and the location of the camera, which is why the app would need to be running. Incase im wrong is there a way of doing this?
6) If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?
Thanks!

>"If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?"
Of course.
It's called 'reputation earned'. You negotiate your future based on attention from something (a free app?) that amazes the known world. Could be a book deal after you spend your young/old life crossing the divide - could be a marriage proposal that brings great wealth - could be a cabinet position with a station in a foreign tax haven.
Use your imagination.
As for cost, pull a number out of your hat and then double it...then double it again. Same goes for time, staff and delays.

Find iPhone App Issue

Hello,
I am using the Find iPhone app for a few weeks now and works perfectly on my iPhone 4S, and iPod Touch but can;t located my iPad 2 ever. Its a WI-FI only iPad 2, It always says "No location available". I don't get it because all the location services are on Even the Find My IPAD location Service is ON of course. Everything works are are as GPS on Compass app and in my MAPS app finds me in seconds. But won't work on Find iPhone app. I have the same application my my wifes IPAD 2, and it finds her iPhone 4S, iPod, and even her iPad 2 without a problem. Only my iPad 2 has this issus. Any ideas what in the world could be different from her iPad 2 and mine? Save OS same erverything else from what I can tell.
Suggestions? Ideas??

Yes, all devices are under the same Apple account. I have an iPhone 4S, iPod Touch, and this iPad2. Finds everything on the device listing and its location except my iPad 2 which says NO LOCATION AVAILABLE. I have heard people tell me it might take a while to work, or sometimes it server issues. This has been going on since I downloaded the APP weeks ago, I even reset the whole iPad 2 back to its original settings when I first purchased it and restored all my apps from iCloud thinking that would work. Nope, still can't located my iPad 2.
My wife has her own Apple account with all her devices iPhone 4s, iPod and her iPad 2 and everything is found without a problem when she uses her Find iPhone app.
Setting all are the same,,, everything turned on as far as Location Services.
