Issue with apple id and tracker app

hi all,
My mum has a issue, she has misplaced her phone and wants to find it using the find my phone app on my phone. The problem is that she cant mind her apple id or her email adress that was connected with it as it was all just saved to her phone. so my question is how can i go about finding the apple id for her account without the the email,
thanks

You can use this to find the Apple ID:
https://iforgot.apple.com/iForgot/findAccount.html;jsessionid=9EE908FE3FE3215A94 49B9B50126D9A9?border=false
However, if Find My Phone was not setup/activated BEFORE she lost her phone, that won't do you any good. There is no way to locate the phone.

  • Issues with Apple Services and WiFi

    I have a 4G iPod Touch that has one of the most annoying, baffling, and downright irritating issues I've ever see with regards to WiFi signal strength.
    At anything less than full strength, Apple Services just about refuse to work at all. This means:
    The App Store will not connect to Apple's Servers and provide the list of updates it says are there. It just sits and thinks forever.
    Once I have the list, and start updates, should the signal strength drop, my iPod reports it's unable to procure the update.
    iMessages will not connect to Apple's Servers to send OR receive messages. It will report failure over, and over, and over again until the wifi is at full strength.
    Meanwhile, literally everything else that requires an internet connection? Works flawlessly. Google Hangouts? Works when iMessages fails. Safari and Chrome? Work when iMessages and the App Store fail. Mail? Works. Facebook? Google+? Work. Trillian? Skype? Work. By all indications, my wifi strength is perfectly capable of supporting an internet connection, nevermind sending and receiving data, yet any connection to Apple's Servers results in failure.
    The most irritating part of this? If I get it to a strong signal, especially with iMessages, and send my message, it will then work just fine where ever I take it. Eventually, however, it drops it's connection and stops receiving again.
    What. The. Literal. ****.
    I live in a single storey house. The router is at one end, I'm typically at the other. Construction of the house does not impede signal strength. I've owned three laptops, all of them have received a strong signal at this end of the house. I've got an Xbox 360 and a PS3 back here. Both on wifi, both recieving strong. The iPod? Reports a varying strength between two and three bars. Usually two. I think that can be interpreted as strong reception. So that said, it's not like I'm attempting to do any of this on poor wifi signal. I'd venture to say I'm not an idiot and do have reasonable expectations of when things should work and when they're likely to not work. This should be working. It does not.
    I've taken this up with the Geniuses at the local Apple Store. Diagnostics came up clean, they had no other suggestions of thoughts beyond their usual "Nuke it from Orbit" option (Just restore it and hope any issues go away. I did. The issues remain.).
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Is this old hardware dying and Apple's diagnostics are failing to pick it up?
    Is this an iOS issue? Should I just downgrade (I have zero issues doing that).
    I've dealt with this for months, and it's getting to the point where I'd just as soon chuck it at the nearest wall out of frustration.

    The router is incapable of being moved (AT&T U-verse, it pretty much has to be located in the same room as the TV), and even then, I really doubt it's location is at fault when everything else reliant on wifi works, aside from Apple Services on  my iPod (and again, outside of those, the iPod uses wifi just fine).
    I've not seen those support documents before, but in general it's all information I've gone round in circles with previously on numerous occasions.
    I figured any discussion on the actual downgrading process wouldn't be an avenue I could persue here. I'm merely curious if anyone thinks it would be a potential solution before I expend effort on it.

  • Issue with Family Sharing and unshareable apps

    My husband and I just upgraded to iPhone 6's with iOS 8.0.  Previously, we both used my Apple ID for all app purchases on our old phones.  With iOS 8.0, we turned on the Family Sharing feature.  We would both like to install the mobile app for our bank (TD (Canada)).  With Family Sharing turned on, this app is listed as one of my purchases.  However, it is also listed as "unshareable".  I can install the app on my phone, but when my husband tries to install the app, he gets a message saying that the app has already been purchased using a different Apple ID and cannot be installed on his phone.  Note that on his phone, he does not even see the app under my purchases when he goes to App Store | Updates | Purchased.  However, if he searches for the app in the App Store, instead of a "FREE" button, he sees the iCloud download icon.
    Has anyone else run into this problem and figured out how to fix it, or is this just an iOS 8.0/iTunes/App Store/iCloud bug?  It actually does not make sense that a free banking app would be "unshareable" under Family Sharing in the first place since several members of the same family will most likely use the same bank.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have the same issue.  I spent an hour on the phone with Apple and they don't have a clean fix for it.  The issue seems to be with apps that developers have not yet set the Family share-able flag as yes or no.  They said that when developers update the flag this will resolve itself.  Meanwhile, if in the app store the details of the app under Family Sharing it says "Not Available" it will be an issue. I found a reasonable workaround for this particular issue by hiding the original purchase and "re-purchasing" as follows:     Disclaimer/Note: Not all Apps are share-able, (even free ones.)  If the app you are trying to deal with is an actual paid for app, you will be buying it again!  Better to wait until the core issue gets fixed, unless you are willing to pay for it again.
    1.  On a PC or Mac, in iTunes, have the original purchaser log in to the iTunes store, then under Quick Links click on Purchased.  Click on Apps at the top and find the app that is at issue. (Hint:  The apps are not necessarily listed under the obvious app name.  I was looking for Colorspot from  SherwinWilliams, and found it under SherwinWlliams, not Colorspot.)  Once you find the app, hover over it and click on the X in the upper left corner to hide it.  Do this for all the apps that are at issue. (See Disclaimer/Note above)
    2.  On the iOS device that is having the problem, close the App Store app. (If you have many apps at issue you might make a list, or take a screenshot first)
    3.  On the same iOS device, find the app and delete it.  (not ideal but it works!).  Once you have all the apps at issue deleted, reboot, and make sure you are logged in to the iTunes store as the secondary "purchaser", (If you are logged in as the original purchaser you probably wouldn't have the issue in the first place, although to me that means going a bit backwards and not really using the Family Sharing program.)
    4.  Open the App store app, if you started the whole process with an app that wouldn't update, confirm that the app is no longer listed.
    5.  Search the store for the problem app as though it was a new purchase (at this point it is.)  Once found, it should be listed with the "Free" or a "price" icon. If it shows the cloud and download arrow icon the hiding you did in step 1 hasn't updated yet.  Wait awhile longer. (Reboot again? Re-log into store again?)  (Also note here, that a properly shared app will show the cloud/download arrow icon and would be download-able without issue.)  If it shows as Update, it hasn't actually been deleted from the device.  If all is well, you should be able to proceed with a typical "purchase" of the item.  (See Disclaimer/Note above) If the family member has multiple devices, repeat 2-5 for each device.
    If you have multiple family sharing members wanting the app you will have to repeat  step 1, hiding the purchase in each iTunes account until all family members have gone through the re-purchase process.  After fixing all of their devices, each person can go back into iTunes, click on Account under Quick Links, go to iTunes in the Cloud section, Hidden Purchases line, click Manage, and unhide the hidden apps.  This would be important for future sharing when the bugs get worked out.
    Good luck!

  • Issues with iPhone 4 and Netflix app?

    Has anyone tried to watch Netflix on their iPhone 4 while using headphones?  If I do not use headphones while watching Netflix on my phone, the sound is perfectly fine.  But, when I attempt to use headphones and watch Netflix, the sound becomes distorted and almost as though the background noise/music is much louder than the voices of the actor/actress.  I am trying to see if this might be an issue with the phone, app or headphones.  On a side note, I can use the headphones and listen to music without complications.  Any input or advice is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Thanks for your quick reply!  I am actually using the white headphones that originally came with the iPhone and I also tried using ones that I bought to specifically use with the iPhone so I could also answer the phone and hear through those.  Any other advice?

  • Apple iPhone 5 Flashing with apple logo and load bar and apps working

    flickering, with apple logo and load bar and apps in that background that all work while screen flickering, had to restore my phone to get to stop flashing and eliminate the load bar.

    Hello missyfromsouthport,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You might need to use recovery mode if:
    You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
    The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
    See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
    Use recovery mode
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Additional Information
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps.  Any thoughts?

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:
    iOS: Force an app to close

  • Is there a Yosemite fix on the horizon?  Lots of issues with Adobe CC and even Mac Apps

    What is Apple doing about Yosemite issues with Adobe, MSoft and its own apps?

    We are Apple, so we don't know.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
    Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

    Lindsay,
    Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
    Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
    It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
    I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
    Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

  • IPad air 2 not downloading or updating apps. Is this an issue with apple?

    I Just got the iPad Air 2 Wifi 2 weeks ago. I was able to only update a few apps which was very slow, then nothing all together. Can't download or update my apps. Keeps turning in a circle and not loading. Is this an issue with apple? This problem started with my iPad 2 before I upgraded thinking there might be little or no support for it by now. I cannot be going to iTunes every time I need to download an app. Doesn't make any sense.

    Thanks Brian. Did that already severally. Didn't resolve it. Had to had reset and reset settings before it started working. It's good now. Thanks once more.

    Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
    Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
    This page might help you out...

  • Just wondering what Apple's stand is on the issue with a flickering and a dark area appearing on imac 27"screen - forums seem to indicate this is not uncommon - and happens through normal use - so should be subject to repair (Sale of Goods Act - 6 years)

    Just wondering what Apple's stand is on the issue with a flickering and a dark area appearing on imac 27"screen - forums seem to indicate this is not uncommon - and happens through normal use - so should be subject to repair (Sale of Goods Act - ie 6 year warranty)

    We are just users like yourself.  If Apple has stated publicly about the problems you mentioned, it will be listed on their website and/or in one of their Knowledge Base Articles.
    I have a 27" & do not suffer from such a problem.  You should keep in mind that these are technical support forums. Generally, the only people posting here are those with problems. The thousands/millions without problems don't ever come here. 
    Think of these forums as a hospital emergency room. 

  • Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Apple Support admitted an Issue with WEP authentication and some Routers

    After reading many posts here and other places I logged a service call to Apple support. With the particulars: AT&T U-verse 2 Wire router would not connect with WEP would connect with Security disabled. I wanted a call logged before I went past the return time
    I got a call back immediately after a few basic questions I was passed to a product manager for ipads, it seems connectivity issues are taken seriously.
    The upper level support said there were known issues with some routers and WEP security we steeped through changing the security and it works fine now.
    Bottom Line:
    Apple knows there is an issue with some routers
    They were very helpful and acknowledged the issue.
    He even stayed on the line while I reconfigured one of my Windows PC to make sure it connected to the new settings
    I suggest to all to log a call and get a tech support involved before taking the iPad to the local store
    They certainly new their are some connectivity issues. If that does not work you can always return it.
    He did not admit it was a Apple issue and did not commit that Apple was working on it but it is something they are aware of.
    So skip the Apple store got right to tech support.
    Just my 2 cents.

    "But folks need to go straight to tech support. I live in oz, so it will be interesting to see if they help me.. or not.. but if support gets inundated they will fix it or have a massive recall (not likely on the latter)."
    Can't agree more. I used to manage a tech support department and it is all about the numbers. No matter how many forum entries the issues that get addressed are dictated by the reports.
    So for those that are buying new routers contact Tech Support first even if you end up getting a new router the call is logged that will get Apple's attention.
    People that are not familiar with post launch processes have no idea how things that need to get corrected and enhanced are dictated by support requests

  • Can I use an apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

    How do I use my apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

    I did all that you suggest before and it didn't work.  So I waited a bit and tried again and it finally worked.  Not sure what the problem was as I didn't do anything differently.
    Thank you for all your help.
