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.

  • HT1414 I have lost one app last used months ago, Regularly Synced with I tunes. How to find without upsetting everything else ?

    I have lost one app last used months ago, Regularly Synced with I tunes. How to find without upsetting everything else ?

    Thanks, but I hoped to retrieve Saved information saved in the lost app rather than start afresh with a new download from apple
    The app was for aniverseries, birthdays  and service reminders  etc which I had already entered.
    I have Synced and backed up on my MacBook regularly, but other than a complete restore of my system, I do not know how to find and cherry pick individual apps, or even if it is possible to do such a thing.
    After all this time I am not even sure of the original name of the lost app.
    this sounds  a bit fable !  (and the spell check on this is not good either, not very good suggestions !)

  • IPhoto does not show last import

    iPhoto does not show last import. When I try to re-import photos from a desktop file it says the photos are already in the iphoto library and cannot be imported. What do I do? I've already re-installed iPhoto 09 and run updates.

    Are you saying that the last import is not showing in the last import section of the source pane or is not in the Events in the library window? If you do not see the event then your camera has the wrong date - look in the last import album and find the date and then go to that date in the events - it will be there - if you want you can then slelect the photos and use the adjust time and date command to fix it - check change original files

    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

    The following are the prerequisites needed to get the workload monitor(st03) working.
    1)      The system time zone of the SAP and the Operating system has to be same. This can be done by customizing time zones of the SAP using the Tcode STZAC.
    2)     All the standard background jobs has to be scheduled to run. This can be done by scheduling the standard background jobs using the Tcode SM36.
    3)     The following parameters has to be added to the instance profile.
    Parameter                                                  Value(default)                                                  Description
    i.     stat/as_collect                                                          = 2                                          Application statistic: detailed records.
    ii.     stat/as_level                                                              = 1                                          Records for application statistic are active.
    iii.     stat/max_files                                                           = 48                                        Max. no. of stat files to be kept.
    iv.     stat/as_max_files                                                    = 48                                        Max. no. of appl. stat files to be kept.
    This can be done by editing the profiles using the Tcode RZ10.

  • My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

    My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

    It sounds like it starting to charge, then suddenly stops over and over.  This can happen if the cable or adapter is bad or if your charing port has an issue.
    Try using a different cable and/or wall adapter.  If the issue continues, it's probably the iPhone.  If it does not continue, then it's the cable or adapter.  Continue to swap to see what's bad.
    If you don't have another cable or adapter to test will, take your iPhone and your cable/adapter combo to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.  They can help you narrow the issue down and provide service as indicated. https://locate.apple.com/country

  • New iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings)

    iMovie app for iPhone 4 not showing up in Location Services (Settings). It apprently needs to be both viaible and turned on in Settings/General/Location Services in order for the app to discover previously taken video (Location Services correctly recognizes other apps of mine that utilize location-aware services).
    I think the following is related to and caused by this problem above: iMovie App for iPhone 4 is not recognizing video clips I have made, whether they're in Photo Album, or iPhone 4 native movies that have been throughout this process: [sync with iPhoto on Mac > save to to iPhoto album > sync album to iPhone 4].

    Just had this same problem. The solution is to turn Location Services on before launching iPhone iMovie.
    Yes, iMovie needing GPS coordinates is crazy, as is the error message that doesn't correctly explain the problem. Looks like a bit of a rush job.

  • I want to backup my iphone to my macbook. This option is not showing in the control click list

    I want to backup my iphone to my macbook. This option is not showing in the control click list

    You mean with the same iCloud account?
    If so, yes this is possible by accessing the iCloud account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPad and iPhone Mail app. This allows for keeping server stored email account mailboxes synced between all three, syncing contacts, calendar events, notes, and Reminders synced between all three, and the same with the iCloud Photo Stream. In addition, you can have music, books, and apps purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store with one device automatically downloaded on the other devices.

  • Not showing last value in report

    Hello,
    I am having a report with new selection and i want the last value in result area and for this i have selected 'Calculated result as Last Value' in properties but it is showing me the summation of all value.so could you please tell me how do i get the value for this.I am using BW3.X.
    Thanks & regards,
    Anoop Chaturvedi

    Hi Anoop,
      You need to keep setting as calculate result as ' Last value' or exception aggregation to last value.
    As you are in production, to check whether it is working or not in production, run the report in RSRT, go the key figure right click and go to enhanced menu, and then in propeties, and then in kf properties you can settings like calculate result as , no of decimal places, sorting(these options which you design in Query designer), make it as last value under calculate result as and transfer the selection.
    This should work and then you make the change in dev and transport.
    Regards
