New Find my iPhone for iOS

A heads-up.

Since it hasn't been released yet, anyone who knows would not be able to comment as they're still bound by an NDA.

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

Turn off Find my iPhone for previous owner?

I purchased my iPhone on eBay from someone selling theirs a week ago. Today I received a message from them, asking that I turn off "Find my iPhone" for an hour so he can switch his iTunes account. Has anyone heard of this before?
I suggested that he log into his iTunes account to remove it from his account, but his reply was that Apple support told him to do this.
Is there any possible harm that can come from me turning this setting off for an hour?

DON'T DO IT. Assuming that the phone is not still locked to his account, there is no possible reason that you would have to log out of your Apple ID for him to do anything for his.

Does anyone know how to "find my iphone" without iOS or iCloud?

you have made many question about how to find your iphone without icloud or didn't download the app "find my iphone",I‘m sorry to say,you can't find back you iphone unless the miracle happened,god bless you .你已经写了很多关于如何找到没有开启icloud服务，而且也没有应用“find my iphone"的IPHONE手机，那我很遗憾的告诉你，除非奇迹出现，否则是不可能的，上帝保佑你！
BTW：my iphone also got lost yesterday。另外，我的IPHONE昨天也丢了……伤心……

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Solution to still use Find My iPhone for "old" iPods?

Hey everyone,
I manage a few K12 classroom sets of iPods (generation 4) and I foolishly updated all relevant apps in the iTunes library specific to our iOS project...I should have read, yes, but am more than frustrated that Find My iPhone no longer functions with iOS 6 as this "old" generation of iPods is not allowed to update to iOS 7. This was a piece of our security on these devices which no longer functions. And unfortunately the file version for Find My iPhone no longer exists in my iTunes library after I updated it and updating the file in Apple Configurator seems to have sealed my fate...
Just hoping that I have missed something obvious or that someone has a nice work around (like a copy of the "old" Find My iPhone file)...
Thanks.

I don't know what you mean by the "file version for Find My iPhone". Are you referring to the Find My iPhone app? If that's what you mean, that app is not necessary for your iPods to be trackable. That app only goes on iOS devices you wish to do tracking from. All you need to do to be able to track your iPods (to the extent they can be tracked, which being WiFi-only devices is limited to locating the WiFi router the iPod is connected to) is set up Find My iPhone in the iCloud settings, and that works back to iOS 5. You can then track the devices via icloud.com on any system with a modern web browser.
Regards.

HT204053 Help setting up Find my iPhone for iPod touch!

I'm trying to set up "Find my iPhone" app for my 5th generation iPod touch. When I follow steps, it says my Apple ID is correct but I don't have an icloud account. I actually do and have it on & running on my iPod! Help! What do I do to get past this?

I reset icloud password-that seemed to do the trick.

How to turn off "Find my iPhone" for broken phone before passing it to repair services?

My wife's iPhone 5 is broken (water damage) and would not even switch on. We have an insurance, so it is going to be repaired. However, the repair agency advised us that we have to turn off the "Find my iPhone" function for this phone before we pass it to them for repair.
The problem is that the phone does not turn on at all, so there is no way to turn the feature off directly from the phone. It was possible to remove it from iCloud, but from what I understand it still does not switch "Find my iPhone" off.
Repair agency told us that we have to delete the Apple ID profile completely in order to make the phone repair-able. Is that correct? Is there no other way? I am afraid that if we delete the Apple ID profile, then all the purchased apps will not be accessible any more. Also this ID is in use by other devices (Mac Mini, iPad) so that's not exactly the ideal situation.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I do suspect that they will not be really repairing. However, I was told what I was told, and I just would not like to end up in situation when an iPhone gets comletely locked if they manage to fix it somehow but then it would lock-out because I did not remove it from "Find my iPhone".
I could remove the phone from the account already (as the page you refer to suggests). Will that be sufficient? Erasing it is not possible because it is switched off.
