My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that "Find my iphone" feature doesn't work? Very frustrating. My iphone volume might be turned off ...does that make a difference if you use the sound locator on the find my iphone?
Tech support INSISTS that the iphone locator on i Cloud is accurate. How can it be? My phone is NOT here!

Is your device showing a green or grey dot?
Here is some background on how location services works.

Here is what happens if the device is turned off

This linksays if it can't be found it will show the last location for 24 hrs and then it will clear the map.

Mine always works fine... it's say within 25' of where I am.

when the app "find my iphone" says offline does that means that no one has turned on my phone? thanks
It means the iPhone is off-line, but can also mean it has been restored to factory condition in wich case it will not show on line.

I think I still have like 4.2.2 features, but I know I downloaded it to my phone I'm at work but now I don't know how to make the app work from my work computer. Is the iCloud account like the apple or iTunes account?
iCloud is Apple's new online service, replacing mobileme - http://www.apple.com/icloud/. The web account page is https://www.icloud.com/
Find my iPhone is a feature of iCloud - http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/find-my.html
And again, the downloadable app has nothing to do with making your iPhone discoverable by find my iphone. The app is used by a device to find another device which has had the trackable feature enabled in its iCloud account settings. Simply having the app on a device does NOT make that device trackable. In order to be able to find a device, you need to have an iCloud account on that device, and you need to enable the find-my-iPhone setting under that account - nothing to do with the app at all. -
Find my iphone says location service disabled but there is a green dot next to it. What does that mean?
it means the phone is online but the locational services have been disabled.
if you are trying find my iPhone then go to:
settings>locational services>find my iphone>on
find my iphone is the last option in locational services. -
I got a email from "find my iphone" saying my iphone was erased...and it was! how did that happen?
I got an emai from "find my iphone" saying my phone was erased.. and it was! Why did this happen?
One - you may have said to disable/erase the iPhone while communicating with the iCloud Find My iPhone site.
Two - the finder/thief may have reset the iPhone to factory settings, simple enough to do, and yielded the iPhone untrackable. -
When i go to find my iphone it tell me that there ate no location available

Have you tried the troubleshooting here:

Does the iPod correctly show your location such as when using the Maps app? -
My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop
The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

used "find my iphone app" and now that I have found my iphone, no one can hear me talk? how do I let Apple know I have found my Iphone so I can use my Iphone?
so frustrated.Well its defintiely nothing that Apple can activate to fix this. They would be able to troubleshoot with you though. This may be able to be resolved if its something software related.
You can chat into Apple by visiting https://getsupport.apple.com -

CAn I use ipad to track my sons iPhone. He is not sure if find my iPhone is turned on on his phone as he has only recently got it. He lost it last night and needs to find it. His phone is an older model phone. Version 4.3.1
But before you give up, read tonefox post above. I am assuming that 4.3.1 is the iOS that's on the phone. If that is the case, he couldn't have find my iPhone or iCloud. They need iOS 5.
You have to be signed into your son's Apple ID in order to track it on your device. -
I downloaded an app to a computer that is synced to my iphone. So I copied the app to my ipad synced computer, but it does not recognized the app. How can I get the app onto my ipad library?

My iPhone 3G 16gb in white: I did all the things you mentioned, but it just keep looping the Apple logo and doesn't turn off until it is out of battery, and I am using a MacBook Pro 15inch Unibody if that does matter
If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.

My iPhone has stopped working over wifi. It was working till late night yesterday and in monring it stopped. I thought that it may be problem in my internet. But noticed that it doesn't work with office wifi as well. Have done some of the reset option.
Follow the steps here. If nothing works, make an appointment at an Apple store or with whoever handles iPhone warranty where you live:
