Why doesn't my lost iPhone show up on the 'find me' map?

Many things can prevent this: the phone is out of battery power, the phone has been wiped out and is no longer connected to your mobile me account, and many more.
The full list of possible issues according to Apple is here:

Good luck!

  • Lost iphone - wants to use the Find my iphone feature

    I just lost my iphone 4 and I wanted to use the Find my iphone on it, but i laso just discovered that my wife's phone is using the same icloud account so when clicked on the Find my iphone, it is finding "her" iphone.  How can I use it to find "my" iphone

    If your phone is powered on, and has an Internet connection it will automatically find it when logged into that account in the Find my iPhone app.
    The fact that it didn't appear suggests the phone is off, has no internet or Find my iPhone is not turned on in it.

  • Why doesn't library on iphone show up in itunes library on computer

  • Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?

    Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?
    I check my Apps on my MacBook and it says there is 1 update but when I check that there are none.
    Then I sync my iPhone with my MacBook and my iPhone says there are 7 updates for my Apps.
    This is very confusing.  I wish someone could fix this and make it simple and accurate to use.

    Sometimes the update notification comes on but updates themselves do not appear if the iOS is not appropriate for the update.  For example, I have an original iPad, thus limited to iOS 5.1.1, but an app I use has an update that requires iOS 6.1.3.  So I have a consistent update notification but cannot get the update.  So, check your iOS and see if it is up to date.

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone?

    Why wont camera roll from iphone show up on ipad when restored from iphone? I purchased the ipad and when I went to set it up I chose restore from iPhone. All the apps transferred and the photos in the stream but not the camera roll. When I restored a new iPhone the camera roll transferred.
    is there a way to get camera roll on ipad?
    Thanks

    Camera Roll photos from an iPhone backup will not be transferred to an iPad. iPhone to iPhone will transfer the Camera Roll, but iPhone to iPad, or iPad to iPhone will not transfer the Camera Roll.
    Cheers,

  • Why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk?

    why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk when other networks can?

    Hardware requirements of the iphone 4 do not meet the specifications needed for FaceTime over cellular data.
    4S and up do not require wifi for FaceTime.
    this is exactly as intended.

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

  • I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the "My Music" playlist?

    I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the top of the "Music" playlist?

    First see if Finder Preferences has the box checked for... show CD, DVD, iPods checked.
    Sometimes dirty DVDs won't read, mine is ery particular about smudges and scratches.
    Try a SMC Reset:

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

    showing up on the "Find iphone". Could you please help me find my iphone

    Sorry if this seems negative but you really should post such a question in the iPhone section of Apple Communities.   You are much more likely to get expert help there immediately.
    Just re-post with the same detail.

  • TS4006 How can I find or track  my iPad mini when it keeps showing offline on the find my iPhone app?

    How can I find or track  my iPad mini when it keeps showing offline on the find my iPhone app?

    You can't. If its offline it can't be tracked. The device needs to be powered on and connected to an Internet connection to be trackable.

  • Old iPhone showing up in Share Sheet in Maps on Mavericks

    Hoping someone can help me here?
    I installed MAvericks and on the share sheet i have 3 devices showing for SEND TO IPHONE, SEND TO IPAD and SEND TO IPHONE 5S, the problem is only the iPad and iPhone 5S are valid devices.  The iPhone device was an old iphone that has had Find My iPhone deactivated on the device and all content erased throught the settings menu on the device as per Apple's instructions on best practice for wiping phones. Thus the old phone is factory reset and has no data or sim in it.
    Whats more weird is that this old iPhone device does not show up in the Find my iPhone iOS app or Web app.
    I've tried logigng in and out of icloud on the mac in settings but nothing works, any advice ???

    Same issue here. I've bought a new iphone 5s, and a new ipad Air, replacing older models. I sold both old devices through Gazelle. Both old devices were running ios 7, and I made sure to turn off "find my iphone" on both and erase all content and settings before selling them. Neither old device is anymore in anyway associated with my AppleID. But both continue to show up on the share sheet in Maps on Mavericks. I've tried everything.
    It's not the worst thing ever, since the new devices are both there also, and sharing from Mavericks works to both new devices. Still - bugs me that the old ones are there! It's not possible that if I send a location to one of those old devices, it actually gets there, right? Nah...
    Well, if anyone figures it out, it's much appreciated!
