Location of devices in another places using Find my iPhone function

When I use ¨Find my iPhone¨ function or just when I try ¨iCLOUD¨ find my iPhone function, using my iPad or my MacBook Pro, my devices appear as located in another state different of where they actually located. I don´t know what to do. I guess someone stole or could have stolen my identity. Can anybody advice me what to do.
P.S. This have been happening many times, although some times they appear in the right location.

What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.

No. It must be online in order to locate it.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen. You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it.
It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so. Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on.

HT204053 I was using find my iphone on my pc and i accidentally chose to remove the device. I didnt realize it would permanently take the iphone off the grid. I thought it would just temporarily stop locating, How do i find it now with no phone?

I was using find my iphone on my pc and i accidentally removed the device. I thought that meant just temporarily removing it since it was not able to locate or remote lock or wipe my lost phone. Now how do i put it back on? it appears to have ben permanently taken off the grid and now i cannot continue to try to locate my iphone. The phone did have find my iphone turned on. Can i put it back on>? i dont have the phone obviously its stolen.

At this point you can't do anything. But today, thieves are smart - they know how to combat the Find My iPhone service, so you probably wouldn't find the phone anyway. That service is primarily used for lost devices, less for stolen devices.

TS4006 IF the ipad has been reset by someone who stole it, would we still be able to locate our device using Find my Iphone?

F the ipad has been reset by someone who stole it, would we still be able to locate our device using Find my Iphone?

If you mean restored to factory settings, then no, you can not continue to track it.

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

I recently lost my iPod and ive been using find my iPhone to send messages to it, my email instantly tells me that it had been displayed or it suonded off however it doesn't find it's current location. you guys think this app actually works??

... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car.

Why pop up message comes now if i use find my iphone to locate my family phone added with same id

I was using find my iphone app to locate my kids as all my iphones were registred against one ID. They never come to know that I am locating their location and know where they are. Now I come to know that when i tried to locate them pop message comes to their phones that someone has tried to search your location. This is really not good. even if phone lost and other person can find out that we are trying to search the location. How to close this pop up messages or what is the solution?

Once again - check that out:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
"With iCloud and iOS 5 or later you can locate, play a sound on, display a message on and remotely lock, or erase your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If these features do not work as expected, use the troubleshooting steps below. "
Translation: if you didn't mess up by clicking "play sound" or "display message", then your kids just got you. They already disabled location services I bet.
Another translation if first was too subtle, there is no message if you just locating.

How would i use 'find my iphone' to locate my husband's ipad?

My husband and i would like to be able to find each other's device, (iphone 4 and ipad) by using 'find my iphone'. We frequently lose each other.
How would we set that up?
Thanks!

On both devices, go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account (if you haven't already done so), then turn on Find My iPhone. After doing so, you can track devices by signing in with the iCloud ID that the device you are trying to track is using, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f2442. You can do this from a computer by going to icloud.com, or from your iOS device by downloading the free Find My iPhone app from the App store.

And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

I misplaced my iPhone and used Find My iPhone to locate it. The map showed my home and the apparent location of the iPhone which was five miles south of my home in a heavily wooded area. It turns out that was an incorrect location as I eventually found my iPhone in my office three miles in the other direction. Can anyone provide m with an explanation for the discrepancy and inaccuracy?

Using Find My iPhone, how do I see numbers of devices registered (instead of just iphone) - have a few devices and need to deactivate the right one

When using Find my iPhone, can't see the detail of my devices - just ip[hone or ipad - I have a couple of iphones, one missing, and can figure out which one to deactivate.
Is there no way to identify devices from each other?
Can't find any help in icloud either.

What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.
