HT201365 How to use Find my Phone with secondary iCloud account in iOS 7

The ability to use Find my Phone with a secondary iCloud account has been removed in iOS 7. I want to be able to track my children's phones, but don't want to share an iCloud account with them. They know I am tracking their phones, and this worked fine for us prior to iOS 7. On their phones, I had Find my Phone turned off under their iCloud, and then added my iCloud to their phone as a secondary account, and turned Find my Phone on under my iCloud account. When I would launch Find my Phone on my phone, it would show me the location of all of my devices and of their phones.
In iOS 7, Find my Phone is not listed under the secondary account. What is the workaround for this? I know that I can go to a PC and log into their iCloud account and see Find my Phone that way, but I can't do that from my iPhone because it is linked to my iCloud account.
Can I link two or more iCloud accounts in the Find my Phone app on my phone?

Just ignore any prompts you get. Don't click the move to iCloud button and don't visit me.com/move. Just keep using mobileme as you have been.
The ONLY clickable button is "Open iCloud.com". I have NO other options. (Using Mac OS on a MacPro)
( somehow my reply was marked as a correct answer, I did not do this, and I can find a way to remove it.)

How to use "find my phone" without using iCloud

How to use “find my phone” without using iCloud?
Previously, when I used my mobile me account I was not forced to use iCloud. Is there a way around this?

I have bought a new Iphone 4S and also own a Mac pro, also IPad. I did not install find my phone on the IPad, my IPad has either been misplaced (have tore the house up looking for it) or it has been stolen is there any way I can find where it is at

I resently purchased the New IPhone 4S, and I have a mac Pro, plus a IPad. I have misplaced my IPad or it has been stolen is there any way by using Find My phone it can be located Thanks Look for My IPad

Unless you set up MobileMe / Find My iPad on it before it was lost/stolen, then no, there isn't any way to locate it. If you did set up MobileMe on it then you could try locating it either via me.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on a another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or MobileMe disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. As a safety precaution you should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Warning!! Re: Find My Phone

I realized today I was missing my phone, so I logged onto MobileMe to find it, set a password or possibly wipe the info. To my surprise it said "No Devices Registered". This must be due to the fact that I just loaded the new iO4S. I had no idea that it would unregister me to MobileMe and now I cant find the phone and my info is there for all to see. Anyway, maybe I should have been aware of this, but for those of you who have not done so, Re-register the phone with MM.

I had a similar situation where I lost my iPhone this week after upgrading to iOS 4. Find My iPhone said I didn't have a device registered, even though this used to work before the upgrade. Fortunately I later found my iPhone. I checked the Settings and Find My iPhone under my MobileMe account was turned on (as it had been before the upgrade). So I tried toggling the setting off, then back on. That fixed it so Find My iPhone now shows the location of my iPhone. Unfortunately this advice only helps someone who hasn't lost their iPhone yet.

My wife lost her iPhone. I have it signed up with find my phone but it appears that it isn't online. Maybe that is because I have cellular data turned off. What can I do?

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
If your Mac, iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should do in advance - before you lose it or it's stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

Find My Phone on 3Gs with iOS 4???

Does the Find My Phone feature work with iOS 4.2.1 on a 3Gs? The way I understand it, is I need to sign up for a MobileMe account and when I try that on my phone I get this message...
*"This iPhone is not qualified for free MobileMe service"*
Is an iPhone 4 required?

Nevermind. I found previous threads on this.

Can an iphone be traced even if it doesnt have the find my phone app?

someone stole my iphone recently and it doesnt have a sim and can i still trace it with only a serial number?

Installing the app isn't required. What IS required is that a MobileMe Find my iPhone account be set up and activated on the device prior to loss or theft. If you didn't do that, there isn't much you can do. Your carrier may agree to blacklist the device, and possibly even trace it, but Apple is not in the business of tracking lost and stolen phones. They will not track it for you.

Can the "find my phone" app be deleted?

Can the "find my phone" app be deleted?

Yes, it can be deleted, but if you are concerned that deleting the app will prevent your phone from being trackable, don't be.
The "Find my iPhone" app does not need to be installed for the Find my iPhone service to work. It is only for locating another iOS device from yours.
For your phone to be trackable, the MobileMe/iCloud account needs to be setup on it, Find my iPhone needs to be enabled, Location Services needs to be turned on, and the phone needs an internet connection.

Will the Find My Phone app work on Iphone 3

Will the Find My Phone app work on the Iphone 3? If so, how do I activate it?

If you have MobileMe, you must use the Settings pane in your MobileMe email to activate the service that way.
If you have iOS 5 and an iCloud account, you can turn on Find my iPhone in that same manner (iCloud email address) without using the app.
The application itself just shows you where your iPhone is, so this could work with other iOS devices, etc.
Either way, you will still need to logon to me.com or icloud.com to track your phone (first two methods).

How do I most effectively use find my phone and how can I help a family member use find my phone?

Thank you

Effectively use is for what? On your computer you can log into iCloud at www.icloud.com and locate your device. Or you can use a different iOS device and the Find My iPhone app to do the same thing.

Did you know that if your phone is stolen, Find my Phone is useless?

Lessons from my lost iPhone. Despite having a pin to unlock the iPhone, you can simply power off the phone with a long press of the power button. Which means that if your phone is stolen and the thief is smart enough to turn it off (is there one who isn't?), 'Find my phone' is virtually useless!
Also, you can use Siri on a locked phone to make phone calls and send messages. There are also enough tips available on the internet that show you how to use Siri to unlock the phone, making all your photos, emails and other information available to anyone keen enough to find it.
I've written to Apple to tell them that a phone lock should really do what it says - LOCK the phone! If you own an iPhone and would like the same please write to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Perhaps when enough people write they'll actually take some notice!

This subject is discussed fairly frequently. Find my iPhone is not useful unless a particularly ignorant thief takes it. It's primary use is to find lost phones, not stolen. Requiring a passcode to turn it off eliminates one way a thief can disable Find my iPhone, but it isn't the only one, and probably isn't the one used by most professional thieves. Among other ways to disable Find my iPhone:
Remove the SIM
Wrap in aluminum foil
Drop in a shoplifter's bag or backpack with its Faraday shield (copper mesh or foil lining)
Restore the phone from DFU mode
The Activation Lock feature, which prevents a stolen phone from ever being used again, except by the rightful owner, is the more valuable deterrent against theft. Once word gets around that a stolen iPhone is useless the market value of stolen phones will drop precipitously, and thieves will switch to stealing Android phones.

Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data. Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen. I immediately tried to use "find my phone." As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful? Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone? Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up? IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:
1. Find My iPhone is ON and activated.
2. iPhone has Internet connection.
3. iPhone is not switched OFF.

What are the options if one iPad was stolen last week and Apple created a bug which the burglar can turn off "Find My Phone"?

Last week, my gf was stolen and lost her iPad. I thought that everything was lost because "Find My Phone" didn't manage to track the iPad location so the police could do something.
Today, I ended up reading this article (http://9to5mac.com/2014/04/03/ios-7-bug-allows-anyone-to-disable-find-my-iphone- and-bypass-activation-lock-without-a-password/) which tells me that the iOS 7.1 presents a bug where someone can deactivate the "Find My Phone" function without the password.
What are the options here so I can rehave the stolen iPad, which Apple helped the burglar to keep it or even sell it?
Appreciate your cooperation

Apple didn't "help the burgler" do anything. Did she have a passcode on the device? If so, the thief would not have been able to access any of the functions needed to disable Find My Phone. Also, if the device doesn't show up in iCloud's Find My Phone, it may be that it is simply turned off, or not connected to a network.

I changed my iCloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it. It keeps asking me for for my old ID password and won't let me delete the account unless I turn off the find my phone feature. It won't let me do this because it will not accept my ol

I changed my ICloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.
