Lost iPhone 4s, "Find My iPhone" app not installed
Hi,
I lost my iPhone 4s and didn't have "Find My iPhone" app installed. Is there a way for Apple to remote install it for me? I also don't have iCloud set up on the phone.
Thanks for the help.
I had my iPhone 4 stolen last night and when i logged into find my phone it appeared offline. I did the remote wipe from iCloud and got a message that read that it couldnt process because the phone was not connected to the internet. A few minutes later I received an email that the remote wipe had begun and that it couldnt be reverted.
20 minutes later the message on iCloud was that the Location of my iPhone couldnt be updated because it had been wiped. My question is does that message indicate that the remote wipe was completed? I just dont know if the phone was able to have access to the internet or had been turned off ever since it was stolen.
Would appreciate comments

Your iPhone was not put into Lost Mode because of an unexpected error. Try enabling Lost Mode again.

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

iphone 4 was stolen or lost. icloud nor find my iphone is enabled.how do i track it or is there anyway to track it.the phone battery has died also
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can) -
i recently have ipad but before i sell it i made a back up of it and by an iphone when i put all the date on my iphone some files and software did not install is there anything i can do to recover the lost data? please help
I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this. -
How would i use someone else's iPhone to find my iPhone? what App to I need to run to search for my iPhone

TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"
What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.
Of course.
First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
Now. The issue.
When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
Then I get a list of apps.
(Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
Anyway, moving on....
The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
I think that brings us up to date.
My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
Did I miss anything important? -
HT5569 Iphone 3gs Find My Iphone HELP!
hi I registered my iphone in Find my iphone with my 3gs and it only appears to be disconected off the wifi so the iphone is conected but the app says its not whats my problem?? please help thenks. sorry for my bad english
You have a SIM in what device? Whether or not YOU are connected has no significance re whether the lost iPhone is connected.
If it is offline there is nothing you can do to trace it. Report the loss to your carrier, to the police, and to your insurance company. Change any passwords which might be compromised, and get another phone. -
I erased an iphone on find my iphone , so i wanted to know what happened and I erased my without a sim card and now I says I cant go on it until i put in a sim card. Did i ruin the phone please help thanks.
You did not ruin the phone, you will need a sim card to activate the phone and then connect the phone to itunes and do a restore from back up.

Several iPhones in find my iPhone
Hello community,
we have several iPhones in our office under company contract. Most people are using their own Apple ID.
Is it possible to add all these iPhones to find my iPhone, so that in case it is lost, we can delete them remotely?
Thanks

Will everything be erased from my iPhone if I 'erased iPhone from find my iPhone'?
My iPhone recently stopped wroking because the lock button didnt work anymore, but I didn't find out until I took it to get fixed. I called in to my provider to get a new one (but they weren't able to send me a new one, so I still have the same one) and they told me to go to icloud.com and erase iPhone from find my iPhone. I got it all fixed but I'm worried that once I connect my phone to my iTune library it's going to erase everything on my phone. Is there anyway I can cancel the request to erase? It says
someone help!!Amanda Archie wrote:
What if I delete find my iphone app, will it still delete everything?
Yes..
The FindMyiPhone app is for finding your iPhone (or someone else's iPhone). If your iPhone is in your hands, you really don't need the app to find it.
