TS3376 Why would my iphone start beeping loud showing a FIND MY PHONE

My phone randomly went off last evening beeping very loud. It had a message stating "FIND MY PHONE" or LOCATE PHONE.. Why would it go off all by itself? I cannot seem to find any information on this out on the web. Anyone know what happend or why?
I did recieve an email that said" SOUND PLAYED ON NIKKI'S PHONE" then listed the date and time it happend.
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That would be because someone has activated the Find My Phone alert from another device or from iCloud.com feature using your Apple ID.

Which iPhone model do you have?
Are you in an area where you carrier has good LTE network coverage?

Why would my iPhone work perfectly fine but when it gets to 48% it randomly shuts off?

Why would my iPhone randomly shut off at 48%? Then say its at 1%. The only way I can use it is if it ha more than 48% battery

This is usually the feature of faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing. If there is Warranty or AppleCare this will be covered.

Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging?

Why does my iphone 4s beep while charging? It seams like it is at every 10% increment, I get a "beep". I keep the phone by my bed at night and this is bothering me! This has been happening only for a short while, the phone was new last December. I do not keep real close track of the last IOS update so I can not "blame" it on that or some "wierd App" that has "altered" my phone!
So if anyone has an idea, please share!

why don't you bring your phone to Apple for battery diagnostics. I assume you've tried a different charger and cable.

Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use

I had the same problem with my iPhone 5 AFTER I had upgraded to IOS.
Did a good deal of searching on this site and others and found that the main advice being given was to turn off all apps that are running in the background (From the home screen double press the home button and a visual list of all apps running in the background will appear. To turn them off simply swipe your finger upwards on each).
Found that this definitely solved my problem and now make sure I do this every time I use the phone.
Hope this helps

Why would my iphone just shut off and now not turn back on?

Thank you, I tried it and it worked!!!

Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

I lost my iphone 5 and it died. If i erased it in lost mode can i get my info on my phone and send it to another? or would it be lost? but if i find my phone can i recover it? can anyone even see the contents in my phone when its in lost mode?

If you wiped it then the data is gone.
your only hope would be to get a new iphone and restore any backups made of the old phone to the new one.

Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data. Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen. I immediately tried to use "find my phone." As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful? Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone? Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up? IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:
1. Find My iPhone is ON and activated.
2. iPhone has Internet connection.
3. iPhone is not switched OFF.

Only if you walk around and look for it/ask others if they have seen it.

Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.

Why would wifes iPhone 5 start randome calls at 3:00 am?

Why would my wifes iPhone 5 start randome calls at 3:00 am? My wifes phone called my mother, me & one oher clients. When it called i hung it up went th go check on her & and the grandbaby in the other room. They were both out like a light. Looked at her phone and it was moving and selected another number and started to call it. I hung it up and turned it off. Funny thing is her phone was passcode protected.
Any clues on this?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
If not, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Why would my MacBook Pro suddenly start operating very, very slowly?

It could be a HDD issue or you may have installed some third party software that is causing the slow down.

Why is my IPhone 6 order not showing up in my recent order page?

I ordered my IPhone 6 on September 21st which I received a confirmation email and number for, but when I check my order status and recent orders on my Verizon account page, it is not showing up. My phone is supposed to ship out on October 17th and I must receive my phone by then as mine is on its last leg. I am very concerned and annoyed as I see many other people on this forum having the same issue.

laursilva89,
Congrats on the new phone! I know the anticipation to receive it is high. All orders are going out as expected, but I know I would be concerned if the order status page was not showing so. I will send you a Private Message to gain access to your account and provide clarification that the order is set for 10/17. I look forward to wlring with you

Did you use an App?
There are some iPhone disk apps that let you move small files around.
