Lost mode - Notification email missing location details

I have lost my ipad (Wifi only) and have managed to activate the lost mode however the email I received to notify me when its online does not tell me where it was at the time it did connect???
Both emails (sound was played and lock mode activated) was received but none with locations?L

Hi Mario
When I try to check location history on iCloud, it says that it has to be online to provide location history and unfortunately, this is all that is says in the first email:
Lost Mode enabled on <name removed> iPad.
This device was put into Lost Mode at 12:03 AM on December 9, 2013. Lost Mode enables Location Services. Find My iPhone and other apps will be able to use the location of your iPad until it is unlocked.
Use Find My iPhone on an iOS device or visit icloud.com/find on a Mac or PC to take additional action.
and this on the second email :
A sound was played on <name removed> iPad.
A sound was played on Tina’s iPad at 12:03 AM on December 9, 2013.
Use Find My iPhone on an iOS device or visit icloud.com/find on a Mac or PC to take additional action.
Thanks tho for your feedback

Lost Mode - useless when Location disabled, even online ?

   Hi,
   My iPhone was stolen by a (not so close) friend !
   I went last week to a party. Only close and casual friends. At some point we talked and compared some apps between our
phones, I locked/unlocked mine several times, in front of the others, they did the same. However, after some time, everyone of us has been engaged in other activities
   At some point I received a call on my other iPhone, and I went outside to be able to understand each other, because it was a pretty loud party ;-)
   Anyway, I left my primary iPhone (for business) on the table.
   When I came back, surprise, my iPhone was missing. Naturally, I suspected a joke or a prank for one of my closest friends. To not embarrass myself, I just tried to use Find my iPhone and see the state of the missing device.
It was Offline, probably the thief turned it off. I think it was one of us which, when playing around with apps, he saw my LockScreen code when I tapped it to unlock the phone.
I left the party. after a while, I tried again Find my iPhone.
Surprise again ! The iPhone was Online but Location Services Off. I tried to put it in Lost mode, but without phone number and
message, just to locate, not to alarm the thief. Result was the same, "Online. Location Services Off "
After one day, no matter how many times I tried, the thief (probably knowing that I have unlimited plan) continued to use my phone and it appears the same, "Online. No Location Available" (on iCloud, on Web Browser window) and "Online. Location Services Off" on Find my iPhone app , on my other iPhone.
My business phone was iPhone 4S, with iOS 6.1.6 (last iOS 6 update). I didn't upgraded iOS on this one because I needed a quicker response when I receive important calls or updates, mail documents etc. And, indeed , it worked like a charm !
So not being able to locate and get back my iPhone, I was forced to erase it (at least I hope it was erased OK). As a result, I couldn't locate it anymore.
Thanks God I had nothing compromising, or business sensitive on that phone! I changed, anyway, all my mail passwords, deleted from iCloud all my reminders and notes etc. Good Bye, good old iPhone !
   I have to mention again, I have unlimited plan, voice and data traffic, so I was not afraid of higher payments, but I thought I should go to the telephone company and request a detailed list of calls after I lost it, maybe I could find a clue, with police help, of course. But I initially thought and trust it would be a breeze to find my iPhone with iCloud, Find my iPhone, Data Roaming, unlimited data traffic if, eventually, it would be lost.
   And I'm absolutely sure I have all of these services active, all my iDevices have the same security settings.
   But, to be absolutely sure, I tried the same thing on my other (personal, non business) phone. iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.1, this time.
   So I double-checked all security settings I could and deactivated only Location Services, from Privacy.
   Results were absolutely identical ! Even in Lost Mode, my only left iPhone was impossible to be found via iCloud (Web Browser) or from my iPad, no matter how many times and what I tried, after switching off Location Services (again, GSM/3G/Cellular/EU Internet - active - unlimited data plan), Data Roaming On, WIFI On, only Location Services disabled from Privacy settings.
( My only big mistake, I think, was to reveal and use my Lockscreen code in front of my friends. But I thought we are all friends, why wouldn't ?)
I tried even to put my iPhone outside to have a clear view to satellites for GPS. No change !
And a major issue (or forgotten maybe, extremely simple feature) is still to not being able to change Lock screen
code/Password, once it was set already no matter what iOS is installed (6-7-8...)
So, the big Question remains the same. What is the (REAL) utility of Find my iPhone app/Service, when, just switching
off Location Services, even Lost Mode can't remotely enable it ? Contrary to what Apple claims.
What should I do in the future to avoid a similar situation ? What I missed/messed ?
Please help me to understand, anyone who can help me and really knows what he/she's talking about. I'm sick of suppositions, and neverending questions/ideas off topic.
Thank you !
Below are some pictures taken during testing Lost Mode on my only (now) iPhone:
Started "Find my iPhone" on Web Browser, I switched off Location Services on my iPhone :
Until now, everything's OK, as expected.
As advertised, Lost Mode rest assures us that will enable (temporary) Location Services, until unlocking:
To be sure it's a working data link, I tested "Play Sound", worked OK, then entered a number and message for testing purpose
Starting/activating Lost Mode...
Lost Mode activated with success, Location Services not. Still, my iPhone locked and displays 1234 call
and the message "This iPhone has been lost. Please call me".
I even put my iPhone outside, under clear sky, for 15 minutes, still nothing new on iCloud.
Of course, after unlocking my phone (Lost mode deactivated automatically), but still nothing (normal, in this case, without Lost Mode) and turning back ON Location Services, my iPhone was magically found . I even received a notice on mail, claiming my iPhone was found near my actual position
Here are my screenshots with my iPhone with all data services on, being locked on purpose.
So, what's wrong with Lost Mode, why it doesn't do what it should ? What I'm doing wrong ??
Please help me understand. Thank you !
P.S. I found yesterday that my phone was bought by someone identified by the police. They asked me what I want to do. I asked buyer's name, it's nobody I know, I let him in peace, no further complains. I moved on...     but disappointed by claimed features in iPhone (regardless iOS 6-8) which are not working at all
(at least for me)...
P.P.S I had to remove some pictures (warned when trying to post - to many images)

It shouldn't work like that.
Apple says contrary, even when you press Lost Mode, the following message appears :
"Lost mode enables Location Services. Find my iPhone and other apps will be able tu use the location of this iPhone until it's unlocked".
Pretty clear to me and tested but No Location detected by Find my iPhone/iCloud. At the other hand, if you looked at the pictures I posted, you'll see on my testing iPhone the little arrow which indicates the Location Services were started in Lost Mode. Just not detected in iCloud/Find my iPhone/Lost Mode. So, useless or not functioning properly (at all, in fact). Why ?
And, from the Apple support page (the link is below)
"If your device is online when you put it in Lost Mode or lock it, it locks and tracking begins (if applicable). If Location Services is turned off on the device, it’s temporarily turned on to track your device’s location."
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
And they claims the same for ALL iOS last versions since iOS 6 (since they introduced Lost Mode)
And yes, my phone which I still have, and the lost one, were both Online, so it could transmit location data, during Lost Mode, just it doesn't happens.

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.

Lost Mode

Hello again.
My iPhone was recently stolen. Using Find my iPhone on my Macbook Pro, I sent a command to put my phone into Lost Mode. When I first used Find my iPhone, the application told me that my iPhone was offline. However, a few hours later, I received an email that said "Lost Mode enabled on Blank's iPhone". I also received a separate email with an approximate location for the iPhone. When I checked back on the Find my iPhone website, my iPhone was once again offline.
Does the "Lost Mode enabled" email mean that lost mode is currently in effect on my iPhone (as in, a theif can't access my information because they need a passcode to unlock the phone), or simply that I sent a command to put my phone in lost mode.
Also, if Lost Mode is working, can a thief realistically do anything with my iPhone? Especially since I recently updated to iOS 7, with added safety features and Activation Lock.
Thanks!

The thief is completely locked out. Lost mode enabled means you have sent out a homing beacon with a message. If you saved the approximate location email. You should contac the authorities for tracking it's last know location

Incorrect time displayed in Lost mode email notifications from iCloud

Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending." However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

Hi,
My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country). Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound. However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot. Is that true? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
Sincerely,
- Matt

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:

My iPhone is currently missing in Lost Mode, is there a possiblity the data could be accessed

Hi,
I lost my iphone 4 with ios6 and I used the tracker to see its location but after a while it went dead. Now there was 90% battery at the time of it going missing and for about 15mins I could see it moving, but then it went dead. I managed to get it into Lost Mode but I did not select the erase data option. Now I am worried that someone might be able to get at the data. I did not use a familiar passcode to lock my phone but are there tools out there that people can use to bypass the code I used. I am pretty confident I will not get this phone back but I want the data erased however I notice that the option says that it will only erase if it connects to the internet, which my phone is not doing at the moment.
Thanks for any help.

well i've basically already done all of those steps, i connect the iphone, itunes says it must be restored to work properly, then in the middle of a restore is tops and a window pops up that says "an unknown error has occurred (6)" and thats where i'm stuck. also the screen thats on the iphone is the end of the USB cable that hooks into the phone with an arrow pointing to an itunes icon.

Can I keep track of the location of my lost iPhone using the lost mode in Find My iPhone even after the sim is removed?

My iPhone 5 is stolen, but luckily I had Find My iPhone enabled on iOS 7. The device is currently online(cellular is on) but location services are off. Is there any way to track its location.
Furthermore, if I turn on the lost mode and the thief turns off cellular data, would I be able to keep track its location?

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

Lost mode activated, but no past location?

4 days ago I lost my Ipad 3 at the airport.
I activated the lost mode but my ipad wasn't online at that moment, last night I received a email that the lost mode was activated at my Ipad.
But I can't not see it's past location eventhough it hasn't been 24 hours since it was online.
How is this possible? and how can I still find out it's last location?

You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Make sure that you pay attention to the section at the very of the article that talks about having never synced your iPad with iTunes. You will need have to restore the iPad that way.

I want to locate my iPad Air on lost mode what can I do?

My 64gb iPad Air was stolen and I used find my iPad to lock it. It has been on lost mode for a while now but I can no more track it. What should I do to locate my iPad Air please?

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

It could be that someone has accessed your AppleID/iCloud account with out authorization. Or it could be that you forgot to remove find my iPhone form a phone that your previously owned.
Change your Apple ID password.

Text missing from user notification email

I set up a form and embedded it on our web site. For every completed form I received an email containing all the text submitted.
The users also received a notification email, but some of the text was missing from the responses. It appears that only the text that was visible in the box on the screen gets sent to the user.
Is this a known bug?
Mike

Hi Mike,
This is the first time we've heard about something like this. I'd like to investigate. Would it be possible for you to forward a copy of an email sent to you as well as the corresponding email sent to the user? Also, if you could include the URL to your form that would also help.
You can email me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,
Shannon

If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

It can still connect to Wifi in Lost Mode. As long as you do not erase it, you will be able to track it via Find My iPhone. And even if you erase it, the Activation Lock will prevent the thief from ever being able to use it:
ACTIVATION LOCK
Hope you get it back!
