Why is my phone suddenly not showing up in Find my iPhone?

I live overseas and use a pre-paid/pay-as-you-go set up with my iPhone 5. I recently returned to the US for vacation, and bought a one-month t-mobile plan for my phone, meaning I switched to a new SIM card and phone number for the month. Yesterday my phone came up missing. I looked for it in the Find my iPhone app on my wife's phone, and the device is not listed. Is that because I switched the phone number/SIM card, or because someone has stolen it and disabled this function?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the iPhone is offline (powered off, out of coverage area, in airplane mode) it won't be detectible by find my iPhone. If the new owner has already erased/restored the software well, it's just not your iPhone anymore.

TS3376 My phone is not showing up on find my iPhone.

We've added another phone on to our iCloud and now our new phone is not showing up on find my iphone even though everything is turned on in the settings.

That article above, the one that has you disable the function, is to stop the little window from popping up whenever you connect a camera or iPhone with pictures.

Why is my phone number not showing up in iMessage?

I have a MacBook running 10.8.2 and iMessage does not have my iPhone number as part of the account. I'd like iMessages sent to my iPhone to also show up in iMessage on my MacBook. How do I get my phone number to show up in my Apple account on my MacBook?
I tried logging out of my Apple account on my MacBook, then logging out of the same account on iPhone, then disabling iMessage on iPhone, then enabling iMessage on iPhone and logging back into the Apple account, then logging back into the Apple account on my MacBook. That didn't bring my phone number into iMessage on my MacBook.

Hi,
Actually that is not true
The Message Beta app Synced Apple ID iMessages but not iMessages sent to the iPhone Number.
This effectively made those iPhone to iPhone conversations private.
It did seem the Mountain Lion advertised that the iPhone Number syncing would happen on release but we had to wait to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6
I dis the Mac OS first and then the iOS devices.
I got pop up messages to say the Message app on the Mac would be using the iPhone Number (with Accept or Not options)
I was able to keep my second iPhone Unlinked from the Messages app.
I know some people are waiting on updating the Mac OS for some non Apple Apps to be updated.
Others are waiting on the iOS front for something to replace Maps with.

IPhone not showing up on find my iPhone.

My ipad shows up. Same apple ID and password. Find my iPhone is on. I retyped password in and it verified. Why won't it locate?

check location services in settings, check if find my iphone is enabled in settings and icloud. Check if you see your apple id in the same place. Check your connection to internet on the phone.

New iPhone not showing up in Find my iPhone

Hi, I recently got a new iPhone because I lost my previous, and I was pretty sure I set up the new device to Find my Iphone. I lost my phone again and when looking it up on the app, the old device shows up and my new phone is now lost. I don't think I messed up when registering the device. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you are sign in with the iCloud ID the missing phone was using. If you are and it isn't listed on the devices list, there isn't much you can do except physically look for it or try calling your number to see if someone answers.

IPad not showing up in find my iPhone

Hi,
I am having a problem with my new iPad. I have an iPhone and iPod which both show up as devices on find my iPhone but when I set up the iPad using the same apple account it failed to show up. I have checked that all the settings are correct. The two orriginal devices were migrated to an iCloud account when the software was updated to ios5.
This is quite anoying so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this it would be much appriciated.
Thanks

I managed to fix this by following someone elses lead on another thread. It was fixed by going into the Wifi settings and changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8. I then worked fine. Interestingly I then changed the DNS setting back to the original and it still works fine!

Why does my main drive not show in devices/finder

Mybe I am trying to do something that I don't actually need to do,,,,
when I watch tutorials they mention that your local drive is seen in devices which is found in finder, the only time that the devices 'folder' shows is if I insert an SD card, I then see Devices and the name of the SD card inserted.

can any one help me out??

I have been messing with this for a few hours, posted my question and instantly resolved it with a link on the right reffering to the same issue,,,

Windows Shares Not Showing Up In Finder (Master Browser Problem)

Hi, on leopard I had no problems with Windows shares showing up in finder. However, having upgraded to Snow Leopard, I've now lost that ability.
Before I had my Leopard computer set as the master browser. I did this by specifying domain master = yes and preferred master = yes in my smb.conf. However despite importing these settings into Snow Leopard's smb.conf, it is not acting as a master browser.
When I run the command "nmblookup -M -- -" which in Leopard returned my Mac as the master browser, now it says "failed to find name _MSBROWSE_#01".
I'm sure this is why the Windows PC is not showing up in finder, but I don't know why the smb-conf isn't taking effect in Snow Leopard, and setting it as the master browser?
Also, I can use Go -> Connect to access my Windows shares, and Mac shares show up in Vista okay.
Any help appreciated.

HT201272 Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? Please help!!

Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!! Please help!!

Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.
Best Regards, davidtryggva

Why does my nano suddenly not display audiobooks option?

Why does my nano suddenly not display the audiobooks option?

There are options on the iPod's Settings screen to show or not show items in the various menus.
For example, on my 5th gen nano, Audiobooks in on the Music menu. In Settings - General - Music Menu, I can select to show Audiobooks or not, on the Music menu.
