Why is "find my phone" locating my iPhone in Liberia when we are actually located in Ohio?

You can't "wake it up" or turn it on remotely.  Offline means it can't be located, either because it isn't on, doesn't have a connection to the internet, the iCloud settings have been changed or some combination of these.

  • Using imei no find the phone location?

    using imei no how can i find the phone location?

    I'm afraid it's not possible. In order for a lost iPhone to be located you have to have set 'Find My iPhone' up on it before losing it, and it has to be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network (how else could it transmit its location) - if any of these conditions is not true then locating it is not possible. You can't use the serial number or IMEI number to locate a phone: the former is only useful to identify it as yours if it turns up, and the latter can be used by most service providers to block it, rendering it useless and preventing anyone from spending your credit.

    The phone is useless to you without the previous owners information.  Either get a hold of the owner and get the info or return the phone and get your money back.

    If the inoperable button or link is near the top of the page....
    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • HOW AFTER PHONE WAS GIVEN AND TOLD TO APLE IT WAS GIVEN WHY DOES FIND MY PHONE APP PERSIST IN IT NOT RELEASING THE PHONE

    tHE UNDERMINED ATTITUDE OF APPLE TO ERASE THE PHONE WAS GREAT AND GLORIOUS BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO ME AND NOW I CANNOT USE IT AND THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME THE PHONE HAS LEFT SO I HAVE A PHONE THAT IS A PAPER WEIGHT. aPLE IS A SCREW UP NOT THE CUSOMER.TO ME!

    First, you should switch your CAP-LOCK OFF because it's rude and meant you're shouting.
    Since IOS 7, there's this Activation Lock feature to stop thief re-using the iPhone. It cannot be bypass. 
    if you do not have the owner Apple ID & password to switch it off, you cannot use the iPhone.

  • Why does finder path not locate my file?

    I have a jpeg on my desktop named keats, 
    keats.jpg however the file extension is hidden.
    I`m trying to learn to search path urls in mac & finder.
    I typed this but it says "folder can`t be found."
    ~/Users/myname/Desktop/keats.jpg
    I also tried it with just keats at the end (no .jpg)

    You're going to hate yourself.
    The function is "Go To Folder" NOT "Go To File"

  • Why can't itunes locate my music files when they are there?

    I think that this happened when I checked off both "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library."I had all of my files located at C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media   and then I noticed that itunes made folders for all of of my music files because I have checked off the keep iTunes media folder organized. Ever since then, itunes can't find all of my files but only some of it and I don't want to go one by one to locate all of the songs. All of my songs are located in the same location which is C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music  I changed it to this location because all of my song files are located there and the place where it was located before, I didn't find the song files on there. I also noticed that itunes would oragize and create folders for my songs in the my music library and I thought that was the reason why itunes couldn't find the files because they were in the wrong location so I moved all of those folders to C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music  So, is it because all of my files are in folders since itunes organized them? All of my files are in album, artist, and song title folders. Where should all of these folders be located at? Also, iTunes creates multiple folders that have the same name and should I just leave the folders be or organize them myself because I have folders that have the same exact name as in the artist and title but it has different song files in the folders. Should I combine the files into the same folder that have the same artist or should I just leave it that way?  Please ,I really need help as I have tried almost everything.

  • Why won't my phone connect to my pc when another iphone will

    my wifes phone is a 4s running iOs 7.0.4 and will not install iOs 7.1 due to lack of available free space on the device
    i am trying to free up space by removing photos and videos

    thank you Lawrence, you are probably correct
    unfortunately sounds more like a broken dock connector 
    I cleaned both the phone connector and the cable connector with a soft brush and a little alchohol
    no improvement
    looks like it may be time for a trip to the apple store
    thanks again

  • Why is my mac internet slow and iphone fast, when both are running through the same router?

    Hi
    I have tried all sorts to fix this. The obvious resetting, rebooting etc of the router. I have spoken to my provider and stuff.
    My internet on my iMac is terrible. I turn off wifi and back on and it works for about 20 seconds then stops. Very intermittent and hardly ever fast.
    My iPhone however loads pages and apps that use the internet instantly. I am sitting at my computer so i cannot see why there would be a difference!
    Its making my head hurt
    HELP

    Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
    To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
    Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.

    Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
    I have no way of testing some of these Firmware updates, read through them and see if any might apply to your system.

  • How to get the location of a pageitem when there are pageitems with same UID?

    There are two text frames with same UID but on different pages( also defferent spreads ). What I want to know is how I can get the location of them both.
    The following code can only get the location of the first frame because the second frame has the same UIDRef with the first one(because they are in one document with same UID) .
        InterfacePtr<IGeometry> splineGeo(ItemRef, IID_IGEOMETRY);
        PMMatrix itemPMMatrix = ::InnerToPasteboardMatrix( splineGeo );
        PMRect  itemPMRect = itemGeo->GetStrokeBoundingBox( itemPMMatrix );
    Is there any way I can get the second frame location?
    Thanks a lot.

    No.
    Just copy the pageitems from master page to document page.

  • How do I get location services switches enabled when they are grayed out?

    In my Privacy\Location Services settings are grayed out. I don't have the option to slide them to "On." How do I get the switches activated?

    did you turn on location service first then turn it on for your apps.

  • Why can't I click on the movie clips when they are moving fast?

    I am making a game where insects in an array fall down from above the screen. The user clicks on these insects to increase his/her score. When the score reaches specific points, the speed increases. When the speed increases, it gets harder to click on these movieclip insects. There is one particular insect where you can't click on and destroy at all when the speed becomes fast. This is the code inside this particular insect. Note that all insects have the same codes in them, but this insect in particular is very hard to click. This insect also has animation in it; I tried making a transparent box around to make the click easier, but it's still not working right.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
        import flash.display.MovieClip;
        import fl.motion.Animator;
        import flash.events.*;
        var MainTimeLine = MovieClip(root);
        this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kill3);
        this.dead = false;
        function kill3(e:MouseEvent):void
            this.dead=true;
            mouseChildren=false
            gotoAndPlay(31);
            this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, kill3);
            flash.utils.setTimeout(removeSelf2,2000);
        function removeSelf2():void
            this.parent.removeChild(this);

    there's nothing about a movieclip's speed that would stop it from being clickable.
    your transparent box, should have its visibility property true and alpha=0.
