Mobileme is dead.  Will find my iPhone still work?

mobileme is dead.  Will find my "Find my iPhone" still work much longer?
It seems to for now, but did Apple mention a replacement for "Find my iPhone" without mobileme?
-Apple 2GS

MobileMe is NOT dead - where did you get that idea?  iCloud will eventually replace MobileMe, but it's still in beta and there will be MANY announcements about the transition before it occurs.  Right now, iCloud also provides Find My Phone,  but I wouldn't rely on it as it's still beta code.

  • If I block safari will find my iphone still work

    If I block safari app on iPhone 5c will FIND MY IPHONE Still work?

    Yes, blocking all data would prove to be a problem for Find My iPhone, and it would only work when connected to wi-fi. Also, you could not block other internet browsers, except you could block the installation of other apps. You could restrict Safari and the installation of apps, which would prevent using Safari and installating other web browsers, and that should still allow cellular data for Find My iPhone. You would also have to look at any other data using apps, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. that would user Internet if you were to see about not using Smart Limits. That is a hard call to make.

  • Will find my iPhone still work with my iPod Touch 2Gen with iCloud?

    Once I'm forced to upgrade my MobileMe account to iCloud, will I still be able to find my (and my sister's as well) iPod Touch 2nd Generation running iOS 4.2.1? or my mom and dad's iPhone 3G (non-3GS) for that matter?
    I am really less than impressed by iCloud's system requirements and the vast load of devices that worked together and now with iCloud suddenly don't. It really doesn't reward the longtime Apple customers.
    Andrew.

    If you erase the device and re-configure it for you and your Apple ID, then he cannot track you without knowing your Apple ID and password. And, be sure you enable Find My Phone via iCloud preferences on your computer.

  • If I change my Apple password as a security precaution because my phone has been lost and switched off, will Find My iPhone still function? That is, will it be able to connect to iCloud, as the password on the phone is still the old one.

    My phone is lost – not stolen, and may still be returned. Not long after I lost it, it was switched off, or died (it was at about 6%), so I can't find it using Find My iPhone. I realized I should change all my important passwords, as the passcode can be compromised by various methods. One password I changed was for my Apple account.
    Now I'm realizing that I shouldn't have done that. What if the phone comes back online – but my AppleID password has changed; will the phone still be able to connect to Apple with the old credentials so my message is sent?
    When I realized this I tried to go back to my old password – but Apple won't let me use one I used in the last year. Any way around this?

    when you change your Apple iD it's pretty much changing the visual email, i guess that doesn't really answer your question, yes you keep your purchases, it just changes the log-in email and email where newsletters , etc. go to.

  • Lost iphone 5, turned off, wiped it icloud.. will find my phone still work?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up. Of if FinfMyiPod was turned off
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • If i sign out of icloud on my mac, will find my mac still work?

    Under System Preferences - > iCloud, I have enabled "Find My Mac" and I want to use "Back to my Mac" as well.
    I have a very simple question...
    Will either of these features operate if I sign out of iCloud in the preference pane?  I would like to make it a little more secure by requiring authentication to access or disable these features.
    Thanks.

    No.
    Also, if you sign out, your contacts, calendars and bookmarks will stop syncing. iCloud is designed to be left signed in if you are using any of the services it provides.

  • Will Find my iPhone work with 3G?

    I have an iPhone 4 and a 3G.   With MobileMe, Find My iPhone works perfectly for both phones.    I'm planning to migrate to iCloud.  Will Find my iPhone still work with my 3G phone?

  • Will the find my iphone app work if i sign out of icloud?

    Will Find My Iphone App work if I sign out of ICloud?

    You need to log into iCloud with your Apple ID under Settings->iCloud to Turn on Find my iPhone for each iPhone.
    With that done, you can use the App on each iPhone to find the other. You do not need to go to iCloud.com.  But you do need to log into the App with the Apple ID you used to log into iCloud in settings.
    You cannot use the App without turning on Find My iPhone in Settings on each iPhone, and you cannot do that without logging into iCloud.

    Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on. 
    Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone.  Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
    but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password.  I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
    Any help please. 
    I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id.  Hopefully this is a good thing!

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
    The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said).

  • I have activated iCloud on iPad2 and iPhone4S (both on iOS 7) using the same Apple ID and signed into 'Find my iPhone' still my iphone is not visible in my devices. I can only see my iPad.

    On your iPhone, try toggling Find My iPhone off, then back on after a few seconds.

    You can't, and the same if the thief turms off the phone.

  • When Location Services are turned off, does Find My iPhone still count as turned on?

    Let's say I use iCloud, so I turned on Find My iPhone.
    But, I like to save battery, so I turn Location Services off while Find My iPhone is enabled, and I understand completely that if Lost Mode is enabled, then Location Services are turned on and enable Find My iPhone.
    Scenario:
    I go traveling. I lose my phone. It gets stolen. Location Services were turned off (I like to save battery). If the thief were to try to restore the phone, would he/she get a message saying "Find My iPhone is enabled. Please turn it off before restoring this iPhone."? OR, since Location Services are off, would the restore go on ahead without any confirmation?
    This scenario is assuming I don't activate Lost Mode before the thief can plug the device into his/her computer and attempt a restore.
    So when Location Services with Find My iPhone enabled are turned OFF, would Find My iPhone still be considered ON and therefore, give a confirmation message before any restoration?
    I just want to verify that I'm still secure even when I turn off Location Services to save battery.
    Thanks for reading!

  • Will "find my iphone" drain my battery on my ipad with IOS7? i do not own an iphone.

    I recently upgraded my ipad to icloud 7.0.3
    Will "find my Iphone" cause my ipad to use more battery? It seems to be. I do not own an Iphone.
    What else could be causing my battery drain? I noticed this change upon the download and upgrade.
    Thanks very much.

  • How will find my Iphone work on an Iphone that has no service

    How will find my Iphone work on an Iphone that has no service and it locked so if someone found it they would not be able to connect it to a wifi source.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    Great link giving you peace of mind that at least they will not be able to use it with out your AppleID and Password.
    According to the "Lost Mode" anytime the device is turned back on or able to receive a signal the phone will lock itself down and it's position will be updated to show its last known location.
