TS4006 Can I turn my phone to online without my phone? I can't seem to locate it with the find my iphone app because it's telling me it's offline.

I'm using "find my iphone" to try and locate my phone . I'm getting the message that my phone is offline . Is there a way to get it back online threw my computer?

If your phone is lost and is shown as being offline, there isn't anything you can do to force it to go online.  If it appears in the device list in Find My iPhone, you could issue a "Lost Mode" command to lock it.  This would only be executed when it goes back online again, if ever.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.

  • TS4006 I have a problem, I locked my MacBook Pro "mountain lion" with the find my iPhone app. When I returned home to unlock my MacBook thats where the problem began. I was unable to unlock the MacBook with the code I then called apple they cou

    I've been locked out my MacBook Pro, I was able to lock the MacBook with the find my iPhone app but I'm unable to unlock it with the app or by punching in the code directly to the MacBook, so far the apple store or reps over the phone can not help. I've called a third party retail store for assistance and the tell me I have to pay, even if I get it to work or not... So far nothing these apple "genius" will do to help with this product solution.
    I know my passcode/password but I am not able to log in....
    Is there anyone that can help?

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.

  • My iPhone was stolen and the phone is powered off. Is there anyway to command it to turn on so I can use the "Find my iPhone" app to track the location?

    My iPhone 4S was stolen a few days ago, and I was able to track the location with the "Find my iPhone" app. I had it play a sound which alarmed the thief, so they powered the phone off. They have not turned it on for four days now. Is there any way I can command it to power on or anything my service provider (Verizon) can do? Any suggestions will help! Not sure what they are going to do with it since a) they have not turned it on and b) it has a passcode and won't be able to be unlocked.

    If it was stolen the thief will wipe it with the result that you will not be able to track it.
    Contact your carrier.  They may be able to block further use of the phone.  No good to you but then no good to the thief either.

  • TS4006 is it possible to get the find my iphone app on my ipod touch?

    My iphone just got stolen and i cant access the find my iphone app because i only have the ipod touch, what do i do?

    I do not believe there's an app for that on PC. I do recommend getting the iCloud dashboard for PC and to try it there. I would myself if my PC was working.
    PC ***** get a Mac.
    You can always go to iCloud.com to find your phone.

  • Can the Find My iPhone app use a serial number to locate lost iPod Touch 4g

    I lost my iPod Touch 4g and want to find with the Find my iPhone app. I'm using my brother's iPhone 4s to locate it. Can I use a serial number to locate. I lost it in school (in the Administrations office) so I know it won't be stolen. I had them search the whole building and found nothing. My school has Wi-Fi. I got the serial number from iTunes back up.

    The find my iDevice works through iCloud.  What you needed to have done before it went missing was setup an iCloud account on the device, then enable the find my device slider setting to "ON" under that account's settings.
    If you did not do that, it is not trackable.
    There is no way to track it by serial number.
    Also, in order to be trackable it has to be powered on and connected to a data connection.  A wifi-only device like an iPod Touch powers off the wifi radio when running on the battery, so if it has gone into sleep mode, it would not be trackable until or unless woken up by someone so it could re-acquire a data connection with a wifi network.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. 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:

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

    Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
    Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.
    Regards.

  • TS4006 I lost my iphone in Guatemala City and just downloaded the Find My iPhone app to my MacBook Pro. How do I launch the app & locate my phone?

    I lost my iphone in Guatemala City and just downloaded the Find My iPhone app to my MacBook Pro. How do I launch the app & locate my phone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)
