Problem find my iphone

Lost the iphone.  On windows pc, logged into www.icloud.com with email adress and password.
Find my phone, tries to localize, cannot, and stays disconnected.
Goes into "lost mode",  windows for typing phone number comes up,
but the input field does not accept input at all.
Any chance of fixing this ?
regards
snofte

Think about what you're saying. The 'important bit' shows you that you're in the wrong place.
To "set it up from your iPhone 4" you aren't even supposed to launch the FMIP app. From the iPhone 4 homescreen, you go to 'Settings', then 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars', then either set up a new account or edit an existing MobileMe account and enable the 'Find My iPhone' feature.
You're not supposed to launch the FMIP app to set it up. You use the app to find a lost device.

  • ITunes has a problem finding my iPhone on wifi after iOS 6 update

    Since updating to iOS 6 on Thursday, I've been having problems with iTunes not finding my iPhone on wifi. I'm not having this problem with my iPad, which is first gen so no iOS update. Sometimes the phone will show up on the list when I start iTunes, most of the time it won't. I am also getting repeated pop-ups from Windows telling me that "ATH.exe has stopped working". The pop up shows up even after I click the button for "Close Program". I've tried stopping and starting the Apple Mobile Device Service. This led to the phone showing up on the list but the pop up frequency has actually now increased (not that that's necessarily related).
    I do not have problems with the phone showing up in the list or syncing the phone when it's physically connected - it works exactly the way it's supposed to if it's plugged in. And I can deal with having to plug it in to sync if I have to but these constant popups are starting to drive me batty and I don't want to have to deal with them until the new iTunes comes out next month (assuming the new version will fix whatever the problem is anyway).
    I am running Windows Vista 32-bit, iTunes 10.7.0.21, iPhone 3GS.

    I've got the 4S and I see you have the 3GS;  this isn't a device issue evidently since your post is the first that I see is NOT a newer device.  I'm in total agreement on your post as well - there is absolutely no rhyme nor reason for all this and the pop-up is to the point of syncing via the cable is worth NOT having this "ATH.exe" error.
    Further I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, as per all the support forums, yet to sync via WiFi, I have to stop and start the Apple Device Service countless times.  As I stated earlier, by the time I start/restart the services, it's just easier to throw it on the cable and call it a day....
    One would think, by now, that Apple would be on this however I hve yet to see an Apple post as to a resolution.  I suppose we will just go batty together!!!  If I hear or find anything, I'll hunt down this post and post the info I've found.  Thank you for reporting this so Apple realizes we're not losing our minds nor is it a Vista/Windows issue. iTunes10.7.0.21 is being used & this only started after the iOS 6 update... GRRR!!!!

  • HT204053 I have another Apple ID from when I originally set up this iPod, now I can't reset it as I am also set up with Find My iPhone which may have been doen by mistake I have been in contact with Apple itself and they can't fix the problem so far

    i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not  let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.

    Force your iPhone into recovery-mode and then you can use iTunes to restore it.

  • Problem with "Remove find my iphone"

    Somone stole my iphone 4s and I used the remote procedure "find my iphone" but the device appeared offline. In any case, if it were connected to the internet I would come back a signal. The problem is that then I accidentally clicked "remove find my iphone" and therefore there aren't any more device, so I think that the thieves could use the device with no problem. There is no way to undo this?

  • TS3408 I have a MacBook Air and suddenly Safari cannot find the Facebook server. I am out of my home country but no problem with my iPhone. Laptop was no problem either until now. Any recommendation?

    I have a Mac Air and suddenly Safari can't find the Facebook server. I am out of my home countryt but no problem with my iPhone's Safari. Any recommendations? I would like to put some pictures on Facebook from iPhoto. Thanks.

    you cannot keep up with all of the interfaces 'cause they do not even allow you to use the older os.
    You should be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion via the App Store applicaiton on your Macbook Air.   You do not have to upgrade, but it should be an option.
    I can't even get an ichat acct 'cause, help?
    iChat can use AOL Instant Messenger accounts (they are free), iChat can use Google Talk (Jabber) accounts (actually any Jabber based chat service).   And if you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you shoul be able to get an Apple iCloud account that can be used with the Messages replacement for iChat (think of Messages as being iChat renamed, with additional features).
    Oh and my battery very close to a year after buying it, which is one of the reasons I was so called to it, the battery life.  Well, having it stripped down to minimal usage, while working on nothing crazy, I could be cordless from nevver reahing 100% anymore, just under that, but gets to 20 percent in about 3 hours. No audio, no video, light low, it bothers me anyway.  Please, this is also a huge problem.
    Every battery today, has a limited number of recharges (not just Apple's).   Depending on how many times it has been recharged, will affect how much power it will eventually hold. <http://www.apple.com/batteries/>
    I know that generally after about 2 years of use (my use, not yours) I find that my batteries have very little life left in them (I frequently have my devices plugged in, so running fully on batteries only is most likely less than yours).
    You can have your battery replaced by Apple (for a fee) or by an authorized Apple repair facility.

  • Find My iPhone - Credentials Problem

    It seems as though my Apple ID and Password are not being saved in the Find My iPhone app. Every so often I get a message saying my credentials are invalid. If I visit the MobileMe account in Settings my credentials are there and valid. However when I open Find My iPhone the Apple ID and Password field are blanked out to defaults like I had never set it up. If I go in and out after putting them in again, they're saved and fine. However every so often I get the message and the credentials are cleared again. I have tried rebooting the iPhone to no success.
    This will be a huge problem if I actually lose my iPhone and need to locate it.
