My partner checked my location using find my IPhone on Sunday
But the location he got was a few kilometres from where I was. He checked it again a few minutes later & the location was correct. I had answered a call & email. I never moved locations by why did my phone show differently?
Could it have picked up a nearby tower until I used my phone & was able to get a better signal?

my iphone shows offline in find my iphone, I deleted it and it it said it would find it when it was connected again but has never showed back up. My mobile me also says inactive. I have deleted it and redid it, but still my I cannot use the locate my phone option
Then it is either off, not connected to a network or has been restored as new. Not much you can do.

Ipad is showing as offline when using "find my iphone"
Hi
I am having trouble getting my ipad to be located using find my iphone. This was working and has now stopped working (and did stop working prior to installing iOS 5 so im pretty certain its nothing to do with my software update the other day)
I have downloaded the app, location services are on as are push notifications and of course find my iphone is enabled. Ipad is definately on and connected to the net as its only the wifi version.
When i try to find it, it says that its offline. I have tried a whole lot of things so far and nothing as worked
- turned airplane mode off/on - restart - no luck
- turned push notifications off/on - no luck
- turned location services off/on - no luck
- deleted my icloud account and then added again - no luck
- deleted the app and downloaded again (clutching at straws at this stage!) and still no luck
I read somewhere that it could be to do with me recently changing my apple ID which i did a couple of weeks ago - the suggestion that i read was to change my apple id back and it should work. Problem is that my old apple ID was 6 letters long and no capitals, so i can't change it back even if i wanted to
Also what annoys my is that i can actually locate my iphone sweet as just not my ipad
Any help would be greatly appreciatedNo. It must be online in order to locate it.
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 friend knows my location using find my iphone app without knowing my account password, how can this happens?
A guess: your friend was standing beside you when this was demonstrated. There are several apps available (all described as "entertainment"). The app was simply showing where your friends iphone was, i.e. Right where you were. Your position cannot be tracked. The apps are meant for joking.

Why pop up message comes now if i use find my iphone to locate my family phone added with same id
I was using find my iphone app to locate my kids as all my iphones were registred against one ID. They never come to know that I am locating their location and know where they are. Now I come to know that when i tried to locate them pop message comes to their phones that someone has tried to search your location. This is really not good. even if phone lost and other person can find out that we are trying to search the location. How to close this pop up messages or what is the solution?
Once again - check that out:

"With iCloud and iOS 5 or later you can locate, play a sound on, display a message on and remotely lock, or erase your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If these features do not work as expected, use the troubleshooting steps below. "
Translation: if you didn't mess up by clicking "play sound" or "display message", then your kids just got you. They already disabled location services I bet.
Another translation if first was too subtle, there is no message if you just locating. -
I like the new iOS 7 for iphone... But i think it's not a good idea to allow switch the iphone on flight mode when it is locked.. What happens if your iphone is stolen or lost? You couldn't be able to locate it using find my iphone... Can i remove this from the bottom menu?
And have your phone set to require a passcode before it can be accessed.

I misplaced my iPhone and used Find My iPhone to locate it. The map showed my home and the apparent location of the iPhone which was five miles south of my home in a heavily wooded area. It turns out that was an incorrect location as I eventually found my iPhone in my office three miles in the other direction. Can anyone provide m with an explanation for the discrepancy and inaccuracy?

i recently lost my 3rd Gen iPod and ive been using find my iPhone to send messages to it, my email then instantly tells me that it had been displayed or it suonded off however it doesn't find the iPod's current location. you guys think this app actually works? i feel like my alerts are just bouncing back at me. please help. Thanks!
... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car. -
my friend ipad 2 was stolen if they reset the device in factory setting,just wanna ask if we can still locate the device using find my iphone...mobileme?pls help me,...
It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen. You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it.
It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so. Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on. -

Why i dont get email notifications when someone uses my apple account to know my location through Find my Iphone?
Try adding [email protected] as a VIP contact in your icloud mail app using the appleid used for icloud if using multiple accounts (i.e different itunes and icloud account).
But seriously that happens really !? not getting emails for using icloud services with a valid appleid. -

Location of devices in another places using Find my iPhone function
When I use ¨Find my iPhone¨ function or just when I try ¨iCLOUD¨ find my iPhone function, using my iPad or my MacBook Pro, my devices appear as located in another state different of where they actually located. I don´t know what to do. I guess someone stole or could have stolen my identity. Can anybody advice me what to do.
P.S. This have been happening many times, although some times they appear in the right location.What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.
