TS4006 can i find my iphone by using the cell phone number

I lost my iphone and its not on the device list.  Can I still use the icloud to find phone

Unfortunately, no.  You can only use Find My iPhone to track a lost device if you set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost.

  • I set up "Find My Iphone App" using the same apple id and password on two iphones. Now the app only finds the phone that I did the setup on first. Do I need a different apple id and password on each phone for the app to run correctly?

    I setup two iphones on "Find My Iphone App" Using the same apple id on each phone. Now the app finds only the phone I setup first. Do I need to use two different apple ids? If your answer is yes then how do I errase the setup in the second phone and assign a new id?

    As TJBUSMC1973 states, and as I said earlier, the Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with your use of Find My iPhone. The app is just used if necessary to locate another iOS device from that particular iOS device. To see if both of your devices are being located in Find My iPhone, log into www.icloud.com and select Find My iPhone. Both of the devices should appear. If they do not, then go into whichever of the devices does not appear and make sure that Find My iPhone is activated. It has to be activated through iCloud, and for both to show on the same map, they both have to have the same iCloud ID.

    In iPhoto, how can I find a particular event using the search function?

    NO - read my last answer over a year ago
    That is because iPhoto is all about photos - not about files
    You do not access the piles in iphoto - you access the photos using either iPhoto or the media browser - see this user tip for photo access details

    If you didn't have Find My iPhone enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone along with location services enabled, you must look for it the old fashioned way.

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   Laptop

    iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
    I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

  • How can i find my ipod without using the app

    i lost my ipod and i dont know where it is. i dont own a iphone to use the finding app. what can i do?

    The "finding app" or iphone has nothing to do with it.
    IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been found and restored, then you may be able to get an aproximate stree address using icloud.com.
    Otherwise, you annot track it.

  • How can you find your password to use the App Store on an iPhone?

    My friend has forgotten her password for the App Store.
    Her account is her email address.
    How can she either get her password or create a new one in order to use the App Store?

    I think I tried this last night but will attempt it again.
    I was tired after talking with an AT&T technical representative about a voicemail issue.
    I hope her voicemail is still accessible today.
    I asked the AT&T person to remove the voicemail password.

  • TS4006 can i find my iphone if its offline?

    is there any other way to find my iphone 4s if its offline?

    Not without physically looking for it, or calling your number to see if someone answers.

  • Is there any other way to find and iPhone besides using the find my iPhone app?

    Been trying to find my iPhone using the find my iPhone app and have had no luck. Also added the  AT&T Family Map and have had no luck. It just makes me so mad that somebody you thought was your friend would do something like this. Can anybody HELP!! Would really appericate it.

    From what I have read, you obviously have an idea or are sure who has your device? As roaminggnome says, report to the police, and give them this information if you are sure of it.

  • How can I find which applications are using the most power?

    I have recently noticed a full charge of power doesn't last as long as it used to on my iPad 2.  Is there some way to determine which applications are using the most power?
    I have been monitoring my home network router accesses and have noticed the iPad logs accesses every 15 seconds.  This only happened recently.  It had been well behaved and only accessing once or twice a day before.  I installed the most recent iTunes upgrade, per suggestions during a Sync.  The problems seemed to occur after this update.  I have gone through all the settings and have minimized the applications requiring higher power (I switch off the location services unless I'm away from home.  Likewise, I turn off my cellular carrier unless I'm away from home, etc.)
    In short, how can I maximize my power usage (aside from turning it off)?
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Thanks for responding so quickly.
    I'm really trying to find out why the battery is depleting much faster than it used to all of a sudden.  I used to be able to put a full charge on it and it would last about 5 to 6 days with normal use (normal for me).  Now that battery only lasts about 2 to 3 days with the same use.
    I DO recharge it when it needs to be charged but this is indicating there is something else (new) that is causing the power drain.

  • My blind Mom can't find her Audiobooks when using the simplest of commands with SIRI?

    I am experiencing problems with SIRI playing an audiobook for my blind Mom. What are the best routes to use this feature? Put all audiobooks in Music or can SIRI find audiobooks anywhere on my IPAD with the right voice commands and formatting. This is an experimental quest I am on the enable her to enjoy books without having to press a lot of buttons! For example, I have an audiobook of Jack London's White Fang but whenever I ask SIRI to play it, it comes back with White Thing!! pronounced Thang ?? Do I need to load a different dictionary of English and I enunciate the word FANG very clearly in English. HELP and Mom thanks you in advance.
