Using find my iphone when I only own that device. Where to access?

How can husband use Find My Phone. Only has iphone. I have the other devices? Two different apple id's?
Can he still, find his phone?

Have him download the Find My Phone app on his iOS device, then login using YOUR Apple ID/Password, & locate YOUR iOS device.
The Find My Phone app is free, & in the App store.

How do you get over the paradox of using 'find my iphone' when your iphone has already been lost?

I 'lost my iphone on a trip to Turkey - it was left on the aircraft but then disappeared. All attempts to trace it have proved fruitless. I tried to download the iphone app 'find my ihone' - but of course you need the iphone to use it!. I then downloaded icloud to use on my PC - following the instructions on how to use the app on a PC - but when I try to log into icloud I get the message 'this is a valid user ID for Apple but not for icbloud'. Any suggestions on what to do

You would have the same problem using the Find my iPhone app. Your phone's Find my iPhone is not linked to the iCloud ID that you think it is.

Can I use "find my iPhone" from my Mac? If so, where does the app reside?

I have Find My Mac on my iPhone, but can this be used from the Mac to find the iPhone? If so, where does the app reside on the mac?

Which browser? Safari, Finder ETC.
In icloud on my desktop(system pref) I can only selet the tick box next to Find My iPhone.

I accidentally clicked play sound while using find my iphone, how do i cancel that action?

I really need help because i accidentally pushed play sounds on Find my iPhone and i have lost it, but i really dont need it to do that. so is there any way for me to cancel that action?

There's no need to cancel it.
The sound will only play for two minutes.

I had to erase my iPhone 4S using find my iphone. Now all the other devices using my apple id inclusing my iPad and iPhone 4 is not being able to activate iMessage or Facetime. Help please.

How can I get my my apple services up and running again. Why all my other devices are not being able to use iMessage and Facetime where I just erased one of the apple device associated with my apple id. it has already been 24 hours since y services are down.

The best thing to do is to just create another Apple Id!

HT4137 Using Find my iphone with a 6th device

I originally setup my child's iPhone using my AppleID (so as to help her keep her programs insync) However, unable to use Find my iPhone because I already have 5 devices registered. Should I start separate apple ID account or is there a another way to add a 6th device using Find my iPhone?

Is this an iPhone question?

Why do i need ios8 to use find my iphone with 5c

why do i need ios8 to use find my iphone with 5c

Yes. If the device doesn't have a connection to the Internet, then there is no way for it to report its position.

Forgot lock code on find my iphone. I lost my phone a few weeks ago and when it seems that it can never be returned i login to my account and put a code using find my iphone

I Lost my phone at the office building with more than 10different company and thousands of employees. since no one returned the phone and the device was already turned off i tried logging in and use find my iphone to send a message. But after days since no one is returning it i tried putting passcode on lock mode... And who would have thought that after a week someone will call me and told me that she will return the phone. But unfortunately i forgot the lock code so i cant use it. I dont want to restore it since my photos and videos are not sync to my itunes. if only theres a way that it would only just require my apple id and not the 4 digit code

There's no way to unlock it without restoring it.

Ipad is showing as offline when using "find my iphone"

Hi
I am having trouble getting my ipad to be located using find my iphone. This was working and has now stopped working (and did stop working prior to installing iOS 5 so im pretty certain its nothing to do with my software update the other day)
I have downloaded the app, location services are on as are push notifications and of course find my iphone is enabled. Ipad is definately on and connected to the net as its only the wifi version.
When i try to find it, it says that its offline. I have tried a whole lot of things so far and nothing as worked
- turned airplane mode off/on - restart - no luck
- turned push notifications off/on - no luck
- turned location services off/on - no luck
- deleted my icloud account and then added again - no luck
- deleted the app and downloaded again (clutching at straws at this stage!) and still no luck
I read somewhere that it could be to do with me recently changing my apple ID which i did a couple of weeks ago - the suggestion that i read was to change my apple id back and it should work. Problem is that my old apple ID was 6 letters long and no capitals, so i can't change it back even if i wanted to
Also what annoys my is that i can actually locate my iphone sweet as just not my ipad
Any help would be greatly appreciated

No. It must be online in order to locate it.

How to prevent email when using find my iphone

Hi there,
Am I the only that finds the email confirmations annoying when using find my iPhone?
Is there any way to prevent these emails, or a preference somewhere to turn them off?

Apple:
Considering the threads here and on other Internet sites, this is clearly a safety issue. As a parent who uses this feature on my children's phone - this feature should be optional. Notifying the bad guy when you are searching for your phone/child is not an option. Thank you.

For some strange reason, maps don't render when using Find My iPhone.

After updating to IOS 8.1 (or maybe a coincidence), whenever I use Find My iPhone app on my phone, or Apple Maps, I only see the gridlines but no other detail about roads, etc. Anyone experiencing this, and any solution? Thanks.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

My iphone was stolen, I used find my iphone app, and found that it was offline, however when tried locking mode option, I pressed remove device by mistake. Is there any way I can restore the iphone to my icloud/ apple Id again? No manual backup on laptop

The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

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.
