Last known location

how to get the last know location of a missing iphone 4s before it goes 'offline'
- i mean it uses so much battery getting the location every step so where/how to get the last location ?

Lost Mode has to be activated BEFORE the phone goes offline.
" Lost Mode, making it even easier to use Find My iPhone to locate and protect a missing device.7 Immediately lock your missing iPhone with a four-digit passcode and send it a message displaying a contact number. That way a good Samaritan can call you from your Lock screen without accessing the rest of the information on your iPhone. And while in Lost Mode, your device will keep track of where it’s been and report back to you anytime you check in with the Find My iPhone app."

I've thought about "erasing/resetting" all settings but I'm afraid to do it. Or am I

IPhone 5 is in lost mode but doesn't show last known location

HI there. My iPhone 5 was stolen a couple of weeks ago and it finally got put into Lost mode today. The problem is that it doesn't show the last known location of the phone! I thought it had to since it had to connect to get online to get put in Lost mode and to show location? Any help?

Hello townout
It all depends on the situation, but if it entered into Lost Mode for only a brief moment, then your iPhone may have gone offline after that and will not show a location. The phone would still need to be connected to either a cellular network or Wi-Fi network to be tracked.
iCloud: Use Lost Mode

TS3376 i read somewhere that even if a device is offline, it can give you a last known location. Is this true and how do I access that?

Your iPhones's last known location will be available for a day. After 24 hours you will no longer be able to see this last known location if the device is offline or otherwise unable to connect to Find My iPhone to provide an updated location.

Lost iPhone 5, Battery Dead, Last Used 10hrs Ago, Not Showing Last Known Location?

I lost my iphone 5 and now the battery is dead. I last used it 10 hours ago, but iCloud is not showing it's "last known location" - it just says it's offline. iCloud is supposed to show it's last known location for 24 hours. How can I find it's last known location if I know it was used just 10 hours ago?

So, the conclusion of my story is: I immediately logged into iCloud from my computer as soon as I noticed it was missing. I put my phone into 'Lock Mode' which allowed me to apply a passcode and message on the screen instructing the finder to call my friend's #. 4 days later, my friend got a phone call - a guy who tried to restore and activate it for his own use discovered it was impossible without my newly applied passcode, and he decided to heed the message I had displayed. He claims he bought it for cheap off craigslist, but I think he found it, tried to activate it, couldn't, and felt guilty. The happy ending is he agreed to meet me and hand back over my phone. Unbelievable!
BUT - there is no reason why it should have not displayed the last known location when I initially checked online. My Find My iPhone was turned on, and it should have worked, but it didn't. It simply said it was offline even though it was well within the 24 hour time period of when I last had it in my possession. So fortunately, the LOCK MODE was enough to deter the would be new owner from going through with trying to sell, hack, or activate it.

Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and I was waiting for it to come online to track the last known location where it was turned on. Now that my phone has been locked but i cant seem to find the last location it was online. I need the last location

Hi, my phone was stolen a few days ago and just a few days ago the phone was online and it automatically locked itself since I've put it under lost mode and the thief probably switched off the phone immediately so that I cant locate it. Is it possible for me to have the last known location where he/she turned on the phone so that I can track it down from the last location? Thank you

Correct.
The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

No "Last Known Location" for MacBooks?

My MacBook was stolen, and I turned on the lock option in "Find my Mac". I got a notification last night in the middle of the night that the computer had been locked. Obviously whoever stole it tried to use it. But I can't get a location because by the time I got the notification, they had turned it off, or disconnected it. So I know it's locked, but that doesn'thelp the police find it, or catch the theif. Is there a way to look up the "last known location" for a macbook? There SHOULD be!

"Find my iPad" will show the last known location for 24 hours, however it will only show this location if the iPad has been located during this time.

I lost my iphone but the battery has died. Is there any way to see the last known location of my phone before it shut down?

No

I lost my iPhone, but it's been more than 24 hours so iCloud won't let me see the last known location of the device, and i need the map of it's last know location to find the phone, how do i get the map of it's last known location?

It's not likely to re-connect to a network lying on the ground somewhere and getting rained on, it would be really great if I could see that map again so I could use it's last known location to find it. Kind of pointless to have a 24 hr killswitch deadline. If I had known I would have taken a screen-shot while I still had access to the information. Since I lost the phone at Canada's Wonderland (which is now closed for the season) I don't have access to the location where I lost the phone (under a roller-coaster probably), and so I wanted to send the Lost And Found people a screen-shot of it's last known location, but I guess I can't do that now. (Apple are big jerks)

Lost itouch...last known location?

My son has lost his itouch but it is registered with Find My Phone. Unfortunately the battery is dead so it cannot be located. Is there any way to find out its last known location? That way we would know if it is at least at our house. Thanks!

No, sorry. To find it at all, it needs to be on and connected to a wifi network. The web service with iCloud doesn't keep a log of it, it only goes out seeking it when you activate a search online (find my device tracking is not constant - the device only transmits its location when it receives a request from the web site or the find app).

TS4006 Is there a way to get a device's last known location (via iCloud), beyond the 24-hour mark?

Lost an iPad 1 but for reasons that are too long to explain (leave it that we are traveling at the moment), didn't realize we'd lost it for 10 days. Trying to back track to figure out where we lost it but for some reason iCloud only provides prior location for 24-hours. Obviously we are beyond that point. I am wondering if there is a way to get the last known location of a device beyond that 24-hour window?
Thanks. Much appreciated.

Last known location Missing?

My house was burglarized 3 days ago, My MacBook Air was stolen, I just received an email from find my iphone 2 minutes ago, local time is 7:51pm, it said:
MacBook Air was locked at 2:09 am. I immediately logged into my icloud account to see the macbook location, but nothing there.
My questions are:
If the computer was locked at 2:09 am, why send me the notification email so late? Is it different time zone?
Why there is no latest known location?
What can I do now? my mac has been locked, there is no way to connect to internet and locate them?

Thank you, wjosten:
but I checked the icloud immediately after received the email, and the 2:09am to 7:51 is 17hours.

How do I contact support to find the last known location of my iPhone?

Hi,
I have lost my cellphone. I need to email support because I do not have a phone to call them with. I cannot seem to find their email address.
My problem is that I lost my cellphone and I was unable to find it with Findmyiphone app. I know it was online because it was not off when i lost it. Now it is off and I am wondering if they could tell me what its last location was. I have been looking for it everywhere. This is the second time that the Findmyiphone app has not worked. Do I need to be right next to my device for it to work? thanks for any help.
