Is there a reason Find my iPhone is not working for either iPhone or iPad (iOS5)?

Neither of my Apple mobile products can be seen by Find My iPhone.  They show up as either "No Location Available" on the iPhone (it can't see itself or the iPad) or as "offline" on the computer iCloud app.

Since you have iCloud on your iOS devices, it should be available on your Mac now.
Open System Preferences > iCloud and select: Find My Mac
If your Mac is lost or stolen, follow the instructions here >  What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen

    my apple id is not working for my iPhone activation. Please help me.
    i'll just restore it.

    Not working in what way?
    Only the Apple ID that was used to enable "Find My iPhone" on the device can be used to bypass Activation Lock.

  • Find my Friends will not work on my iPhone 4S / iOS 8.2

    Im having iPhone 4S on iOS 8.2 (12D508) (unfortunately).
    When I want to open my Find my friends app, im getting the message "Sign into your iCloud And then Go to iCloud settings) but when I click that and actually go on iCloud settings I can pretty much see i am logged into my iCloud.
    I can also see that in advanced settings, where Share my location option is on, im getting pop up alert saying "Share My Location Unavailable. Unable to connect to server. Please try again"
    How to get my Find my Friends app working, for gods sake?!?

    If nothing in that knowledge base article helps your WiFi chip has probably failed.

  • My Original Apple ID which I'm using since I bought my IPhone is not working for activation, what should I do?

    I have unlocked iPhone 4S which I bought in Jan 2011 from store in Saudi Arabia... Since I bought my iPhone and it is linked to my Apple ID... Lately I moved from my Country Egypt to Slovakia so I didn't take my Egyptian Vodafone SIM Card with me as I will buy a Slovakian one...
    Days ago before buying a new SIM Card, iTunes found new update IOS 7.0.4 and after installing the update my iPhone restarted and started to take me through activation... The activation needed a SIM Card so I bought Telefonica O2 SIM Card and I tried to continue the activation... At the step of writing my Apple ID and my Passowrd, I wrote them right but an error window appeard saying that incorrect Apple ID and my Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPhone...
    I checked my Apple ID on iTunes and iCloud to make sure that my password and my account are ok and it was working... I thought it might be a problem with the SIM Card so I went to O2 customer service and they said that the problem is not with the SIM Card as the SIM Card is working so they can not do anything for me... On the window of activation logging in there is link "activation help" and by clicking it after typing my Apple ID and password, a window appears saying that my iPhone could not be activated because activation server cannot be reached and asking me to try activating on iTunes or trying again later and if this problem persists I should contact Apple support...
    I tried activating on iTunes and the same message appeared that my Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPhone and I tried activating many times for two days on my iPhone and iTunes and nothing is working... I also tried to call Apple service number in Slovakia (0800004640) and they said for iPhone I should contact my carrier network which I contacted already and they didn't help at all as I mentioned before... In the end of my tries I went to iCloud finder to find my iPhone on my account and I didnt find it there because I never set up iCloud on my iPhone before...
    I don't know really what to do as I'm the first and the only owner and my Apple ID is the only linked to this iPhone, even on the window of activation logging in it is written there that this iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (b*****@yahoo.com) which is true ... This iPhone is unlocked one and it was working in Saudi Arabia and Egypt with various SIM Cards... In the end thanks for reading and I hope to find a solution for this problem...

    Thanks for your answer...
    My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
    I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
    I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

  • IMessage not working for an iPhone contact

    I'm having an issue where 3 iMessages went undelivered so i sent it as a regular text.  Now it is stuck on regular SMS text for this one contact.  All other iMessages work to other contacts.  I've tried rebooting, resetting my network on the phone and turning iMessage on and off but nothing works.  The other person has tried doing the same also.  Can anyone help with this?  It is a corporate phone and I have limited regular SMS texts but unlimited iMessages. My phone is an iPhone 4s, not sure what his is.
    TIA,
    Rick

    Hi BonusCup,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are sending SMS only to one contact only. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you can't send messages to a certain recipient, delete any conversations you have with them and try sending a new message. When you delete a conversation, you won’t be able to recover it. 
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • IBeer not working for my iphone

    So i upgraded my iphone to the most recent upgrade which is 2.0.2 and i download the ibeer app. And i got the icon and everything on my homescreen and im tapping on the ibeer icon and is not working at all
    anybody else have this issue??
    What am i doing wrong?

    Reboot is first thing you should do when anything crashes, doesn't work right, locks up, etc.
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
    You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

  • IPhone emails not working for 2 accounts?

    Hi all...
    running an iPhone account thru our mail.domianname.com INCOMING email servers for one account is fine, ie you can just tap and emails are delv'd to the iPhone. Yet another account set up exactly same way on anothter iPhone for another user at that same domain (set them both up using exactly same config except for account name/pw) does not work. I continue to get a "can't connect to the server" notice...
    can i ask (both are POP accts) why that might be? also, how can I change from a POP account to try the IMAP settings...
    Jim

    For the problem account, try deleting and recreating the account.
    also, how can I change from a POP account to try the IMAP settings...
    If the email account provider for the email account supports accessing the account as an IMAP account or as a POP account, you can't change the settings for an account from POP to IMAP after the account has been created as a POP account. You must delete and recreate the account choosing IMAP as the account type when prompted along with having the account settings for creating and accessing the account as an IMAP account.

  • Viber App on Iphone 4s not working for xperia phones

    I just downloaded viber on my iphone 4s. It's working fine when i text and call through viber on other iphones. However, for someone using xperia, my viber status appear to be offline on their viber and they can't text or call me through viber on their xperia phone. I cant call or text them as well. pls help.thanx

    Viber isn't an Apple product. You need to get support for this app from the Viber developers.  You can find their developer contact info in the App Store listing

  • Drag and drop not working for my iPhone though..

    just got a new mbp and transferred some music from there onto my ipod with no problem. later, I tried doing the same onto my iphone and music wont drop into it. any tips? suggestions? thanks!

    Oh right... All my devices are on the SAN and have been set as edit-in-place. The files in question were copied from the regular media watch folder to the media device. So basically just one folder on the SAN to another.
    It has to be more than just the watcher, because two of the files in question were added by a subscription response that has worked fine for me before.
    Thanks,

  • Restore not working for my iPhone 5 rare situation

    Out of the blue, my phone stopped working last night. Every time I go to recovery mode, I get a weird screen that pops up with an error code. I've tried everything that apple suggested online. I.E different cord, update my operating system, etc. I was wondering if anyone out there has another solution or has even seen this before. I'm not under warranty any longer; therefore, I'm trying everything I can to fix this. Can't find anything similar online. Thanks.

  • IMessage not working for one iphone contact?

    For one particular contact, I am unable to send messages through iMessage and they instead send as texts. Both of us have iPhones and have checked the settings. I reset my iMessage, and also restarted my phone but the messages continue to send as texts. Is there any way to fix this?

    I had this problem, I fixed it by editing the mobile number in contacts. Just deleted the last digit and typed it back in. I thought the contact had iMessage turned off, and her go through settings but it was set correctly. It seems the early iOS 7 iMessage issues caused this issue in later version of iOS 7.1.x
    I had two contacts I had to do this to.

  • TS2972 Home Sharing does not work for my iphone 4S or my MacBook Pro and my appleTV... why?

    I have everything logged in properly.  And I've started and restarted each device...  but still no home sharing.  In fact, the Apple TV icon doesn't even show up on my iPhone any more.  Help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    You've done the obvious things.  Have you restarted your router?

  • After this latest update to iOS 6, FaceTime and my WiFi network is not working for my iPhone 4S, could you please help me on what to do? I have already reset my network (which made it worst)

    Could you please help me to fix my iPhone 4S
    After the latest update we've had to iOS 6, I was not able to use FaceTime, it kept giving me an error that I was supposed to wait for an activation code which never arrived, after that I read many solutions which included resetting the networks, which I did to try and fix my problem. What this actually did was to break my network settings an now it doesn't recognize any wifi signal unless I have the router next to me and even the it is difficult.
    Now I don't have FaceTime or access to wifi with my iPhone!
    Please help me!

    Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
