Using find my iphone while roaming without notifications activated

Hello,
I used to be able to use "Find my iPhone" while roaming internationally without have push notifications on (iOS 4.x.x.) but now with iOS 5 there isn't a way to use that feature without enabling notifications as well.
In Settings>General>Network
There is an option of Cellular Data but it turns off Data Roaming when you disactivate Cellular Data.
Basically my question is, is there anyway to turn off all notifications while roaming yet have find my iphone activated.
I know that if I send a message in say "whatsapp" in 4.x.x it would send but i wouldn't get notified unless I was in the app, but now they are pushed either way which makes it expensive for me since I am roaming 270 days out of the year.
Thanks

You cannot trace it if it is offline.
Hopefully you have a passcode on your iPad and you have backups of these documents.

Using find my iPhone and e-mail notifications

What happen to getting e-mail notifications when you use find my iPhone app?, After the new iOS8 update
you did get e-mails but now you don't, does anyone know why?

This firmware is expired. It cannot be used anymore. You'll need to update to the public release of iOS 6 to continue using it.
Download the firmware from Apple directly, then hold the Option key and click Restore in iTunes. Select the IPSW for the public version of iOS 6 and install that.

My ipad got stolen! Any way to track it immediately without using find my iphone?

Hey guys, i stayed at a hotel left my iPad there, contacted the hotel, they said they couldnt look for it since people were staying in there (how stupid) and obviously those people took it or house cleaning...is there any way i can find it or track the location!? I already used find my iPhone and locked it etc....Help!!

If you have not enabled Find My iPad, you cannot track, lock or wipe your iPad.
Change your iCloud password so that they cannot make changes or delete your data.
Report to police with serial number.

My iPad was stolen yesterday. I cannot track it while using find my iPhone is saying is off.

HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

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.
What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. 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:

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Using Find My iPhone with Snow Leopard and iPhone 4S

I just upgraded my family's three iPhones from 3GS to 4S. I have a family MobileMe account and would like to continue to use Find My iPhone. I cannot upgrade my OSX on my Macbook Pro past Snow Leopard without rendering a professional app that I use for my business unusable. Is there a way to make this work with the new phones without upgrading to Lion / enabling iCloud? That is unfortunately not an option for me until the pro software app is made Lion compatible. Thanks.

I suppose you could set up a dual-boot environment and keep Snow Leopard in a small partition to run your business software. Clone your Snow Leopard partition into a second partition (with SuperDuper or similar) and upgrade this partion to Lion. Then remove unnecessary applications from the Snow Leopard partition and resize it to save space.
This arrangement would allow you to run Lion as you primary OS with most of your applications and maintain a boot option to Snow Leopard to run your business software until its updated. See http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20081187-263/how-to-keep-snow-leopard-when- upgrading-to-lion/.

Using "find my iPhone" abroad

Hi:
I live in the UK and can use the "find my iphone" app using iCloud and my Apple ID to track my phone (and other devices like iPad etc). I use it quite often when I've left my phone somewhere in the house and can't find it, reasurring myself that it is in the house, and then using the alert to help me find it !
I'm going off to Spain for a few weeks cycling the Camino, and I want my partner to be able to tell where I am. I'll often be in the middel of nowhere, probably with poor phone signal and poor wifi coverage. So, I was wondering if my partner can log on to my iCloud account and by using "find my iphone" get an idea of when my iPhone is (and where I am) and check my progress.
Will this work just with a phone signal and gps positioning ? Or does it require wifi ?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks.
Chris

Find My iPhone should work with any data connection to the internet, whether through wifi or your cellular data network. If you're out of the country, however, unless you have an international data plan this may require very expensive data roaming charges.

It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen. You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it.
It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so. Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on.

I accidentaly clicked "remove" when using find my iphone...how do I log in when my iphone is not with me to find it?

i was using "find my iphone" and when given the location it was an old location. A post read that the iphone was either turned off or the wifi was not being used. A remove or cancel button appears with this message. I accidentally clicked cancel and now when trying to retrive information about the location of my device it says that I must refresh page or set up instructions. There must be a way to reinstate my account without my device physically present but I do not know how...can someone help me?

What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.
