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

  • Can I use find my iPhone with out an iCloud account?

    Can I use find my iPhone with out an iCloud account?

    Ok! So there's no way around it then? My friend has an iPhone 4 that she got used and the 3 available account have been used up. I understand how that works but was wondering if there was a way around that so she could still use the find my iPhone app to locate the phone if needed. Thxs

  • Can I use Find My iPhone with my Apple Watch?

    Can I use Find My iPhone with my Apple Watch? Is there an app for it on Apple Watch? Can I add my Apple Watch to my Find My iPhone Account?

    No. No. And No.
    You can 'ping' your phone and have it play a sound (even if it's muted) from the watch, but it must be in range... That's intended to help you locate it if it's nearby but you forgot where you put it, or it slipped behind a couch cushion or something.

  • Can you use find my iPhone with iPad and iPhone and the same icloud account for both?

    I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

    It will list each device separately, I even have two macs along with my ipad listed

  • 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/.

  • 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?

  • HT204053 Can I use find my iPhone with the iCloud if I didn't  have it set up before I lost/ stolen iPhone

    My iPhone 4S was lost / stolen I don't think  I had iCloud on it for pictures on iCloud that were on my phone
    Number 2. Would I be able to use find my iPhone if I didn't activate the app before it was lost . Some one told me today they signed on and they were able to find their iPhone

    If the "Find My iPhone" was enabled in your iCloud Settings on your phone - it does not matter if you had the "App" on there or not. It will report, if it has not been deleted / restored / etc.
    Have you tried logging into http://www.icloud.com and see if your device is listed? If it is, then place your phone into "Lost Mode" and put a phone number where you can be reached.

  • Do I need Internet to use find my iphone

    I'm trying to use find iPhone , we have three phones on our AT&amp;T account. It's been working fine. Today I blocked data to the teen on our plan and now I can't track her phone. AT&amp;T said I do not need Internet connection to use this feature . I'm not sure what to do. I blocked the data package on her iPhone because she used 3 gigs in 2 weeks. I want to Limit her Internet usage but I also need to be able to track her. Please help! Thanks

  • How do I use find my iPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?

    l I tried using it on  a friends iPod Touch, because I lost mine. I tried regestring but It didn't work, to my dismay I learned that MobileMe was closed to new subscribers. I tried doing it on iCloud, but iCloud is only for iOS 5. So how do I register findmyiPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?
    Or did Apple Screw me over on this one? (Sorry, you'd be ****** to if someone stole an iPod you left on a table when you were going to the bathroom.)

    Sorry, but Apple didn't screw you. You screwed yourself. See, there's no point putting a lock on your door after the burglars have left.

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.
