lock iphone for use find my iphone?????
Perhaps you can provide an intelligible question. Neither your topic title nor the linked discussion is helpful.
If you need to enable Find My Phone on your iPhone then you do that in Settings. Tap Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone switch to ON (green.)

I have remote locked my mac using find my iPhone app via my iPad - I am unable to enter the unlock code as the mac keyboard won't pair with the mac - I guess that will teach me for playing...any ideas?
Thought so - ace - find my phone really needs an unlock function. - another £40...

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?

I was using my ipod at night then all of a sudden on the sceen it said ipod has been locked then it said my phone number and it said call me or the police will. I knew my brother locked it from the computer using " find my iphone" it was on lost mode like if it was lost/stolen. The problem was he knew my apple id and password. He wouldnt tell me the password and since he went to mexico to visit cousins he wont come back till October. What shall i do? I wanna unlock it. Somebody please help me. Thanks in advance.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Apple id format for using find my iphone
Hi,
How do i use my existing apple id for setting up the Find My Iphone? the set up screen says to input the apple id as [email protected], ie in an email address format, whereas my apple id is not in the [email protected] format. it is only xxx.You need to change your old Apple ID to one with an email address. Here is some info from a FaceTime document (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319):
Ensure that the Apple ID you are using to register FaceTime on iPod touch (4th generation) is an email address. If your Apple ID is not an email address, you can change it on appleid.apple.com. This article provides instructions on how to change the Apple ID.
"appleid.apple.com is":

MobileMe not sending me verification mail for using Find my iPhone
Hi,
Using an iPhone 4 (factory unlocked) in India.
I am trying to use the Find my Iphone and have followed the steps till creating a new mobile me account.
I am not able to receive the verification mail though. I have been trying for almost 3 days by requesting for the resend verification mail option, but not receiving anything either in the mailbox or spam/ junk.
Any ideas on what else I can do to make this work?
Thanks,OK, so got this info on another thread that the apple ID needs to be the email address, so changed, and got the verification mail
Set up now, but can only view the iphone on the iphone itself.
When I try to view it using me.com, it keeps asking me for my password???
This is wierd.. Whats the point of checking a lost phone, if not on a computer?
Any ideas? -
How many devices can be under one Apple ID for using find my iPhone?
I work for a school and we were told by an Apple representative that Find My iPhone works for only 10 devices under each Apple ID. Is this true? If I have 30 iPads under 1 apple ID will only 10 of them show up under "Devices" on iCloud? Will we only be able to locate 10 of them?
Documentation related to the iTunes store indicates that a maximum of 10 devices can be associated with a single ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627). I'm not sure, however, if that applies to iCloud or not. If it does, you could always assign a different Apple ID and associated iCloud account to each group of 10. You could still track them all; you would just have to sign into each iCloud account separately to track the devices associated with that ID. Apple may also have other enterprise solutions that would be available to your situation. You should contact Apple directly to inquire about this.

How can I get my my apple services up and running again. Why all my other devices are not being able to use iMessage and Facetime where I just erased one of the apple device associated with my apple id. it has already been 24 hours since y services are down.
The best thing to do is to just create another Apple Id!

I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove this from the bottom menu?
And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

I Lost my phone at the office building with more than 10different company and thousands of employees. since no one returned the phone and the device was already turned off i tried logging in and use find my iphone to send a message. But after days since no one is returning it i tried putting passcode on lock mode... And who would have thought that after a week someone will call me and told me that she will return the phone. But unfortunately i forgot the lock code so i cant use it. I dont want to restore it since my photos and videos are not sync to my itunes. if only theres a way that it would only just require my apple id and not the 4 digit code
There's no way to unlock it without restoring it.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
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.

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.
Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
