Will an iphone 4 on a pay as you go basis let me use the app "Find My iPhone"?
If I purchase an iPhone 4 (not under contract) and use the pay as you go basis, can I use the app "Find my iPhone"?
Phone needs to be connected to wifi or cellular data in order to track your phone via fmp.
also need fmp enabled in icloud settings along with location service.

My iphone has been stolen during a concert. I tried using the app Find my iPhone but it said it was offline. Is there any possible way you could help me? please help!
No. If it is offline then it is not capable of being located over the web.

My iPhone getting stolen,how I get the actual location the full address to find my iPhone way using the apps find my iPhone?
If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing - the app is for tracking a device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to pay for it.
If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance).

Using the app "Find my iPhone", I activated lock my iPhone remotely from my iPhone to my sons iPhone. How do I deactivate it for him to use? It says emergency calls only now..
Welcome to the Apple Community John.
Enter the pass code you set up when locking the phone or the screen lock code already in use on the phone if you weren't required to set one up when you locked it. -
I lost my iPod it's almost been a week now , but I've been using find my iPhone to track it. Recently it showed that my IPod has been offline (wifi) now so I've been wondering if there's a way for Apple to turn it back online (wifi)
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

where on itunes can I go to log on to icloud to be able to see where my ipad is?
If you set up iCloud and turned on Find My iPhone on it before it was stolen, you may be able to track it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com from your computer, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f2442.

My phone was stolen, what can I do to recover? He is off then the app "Find My iPhone" is not working. I'm desperate, because not even finished paying and is ma warranty.
For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet. If not, it is not possible to locate it. Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

Will the icloud keep a record that the phone has been tracked or a record of the locations tracked by the app "find my iPhone"
Not unless you placed a lost device in Lost Mode and it is detected as being online. If so, it will show its current and previous locations on a map as shown at the bottom of this article: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f0165.

Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone) so that person can find their iPad coz the police would of taken mine if I did not show proof of purchase
You are not communicating with Apple by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user and cannot fix anything.
The Find My iPad service may have indeed been accurate to the limits of the technology. Unless the iPad was a 3G unit, location is determined based on the nearest WiFi router which in your case could just happened to have been yours. The police may be the ones who need to "fix" their understanding of how the technology works and its limitations.
If you want to provide feedback to Apple on the matter, you can do so via their feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
but to be of any good you'll have to provide them with more precise details.

Will the app Find My Iphone work on an iPod that was stolen with no known wifi?
My Ipod Touch was stolen a few weeks ago and I have it connected to the app Find My Iphone. When it was stolen the wifi was turned off. I was wondering if the theift were to turn the wifi on if I could send them a message to return it? (from an unregistered wifi.)
No. The Find feature requires that the iPod be on, location services is on and wifi on and connected.

- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

I need any help i can get, im having trouble with the app find my iphone. I have lost my iphone, checked on the computer, and somehow, took it away so how do i get it back??If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

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:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.
