Will Find My Iphone App work if I sign out of ICloud?

You need to log into iCloud with your Apple ID under Settings->iCloud to Turn on Find my iPhone for each iPhone.
With that done, you can use the App on each iPhone to find the other. You do not need to go to iCloud.com.  But you do need to log into the App with the Apple ID you used to log into iCloud in settings.
You cannot use the App without turning on Find My iPhone in Settings on each iPhone, and you cannot do that without logging into iCloud.

  • Will the Find My Phone app work on Iphone 3

    Will the Find My Phone app work on the Iphone 3? If so, how do I activate it?

    If you have MobileMe, you must use the Settings pane in your MobileMe email to activate the service that way.
    If you have iOS 5 and an iCloud account, you can turn on Find my iPhone in that same manner (iCloud email address) without using the app.
    The application itself just shows you where your iPhone is, so this could work with other iOS devices, etc.
    Either way, you will still need to logon to me.com or icloud.com to track your phone (first two methods).

  • My ipad mini was stolen and i have activated the find my phone to lock it. how can i get the serial number off my itunes or icloud profile? and what are the chances that the find my iphone app works when someome erases the device?

    my ipad mini has been stolen and i have activated the find my iphone to lock. now it is only a wifi device so what are the chances that a person can get hold of it and log onto wifi without the password of my device to unlock. does that not make the app rather less useful as i have to hope that the person is apt enough to log onto the internet but not enough to erase it and start afresh. is it possible to find my device even afte someone has erased it?

    "Losing your iPhone feels lousy. Thankfully, iCloud can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new Find My iPhone features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it."

  • Is there any way to find a lost iPhone even if the Find my iPhone app is not logged in with iCloud account?

    Hello everyone,
    I've lost my iPhone 5s yesterday in a party. The Find my iPhone app is not logged in with my iCloud account in the phone. Is there any way to find the phone? I'm really lost in this matter. Please help, if you can!
    Thank you.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond!!
    I didn't think so, but was hoping this was a time, that someone knew something that I didn't.

    My iPhone was stolen a few days ago. It appears to be offline on the Find My iPhone app. If the person who has it turns it on only for a brief moment and then turns it off immediately, will the location still be found? Once it returns to being offline will the location still be sent to me? And also, how can I retrieve my pictures from my iCloud?

    Anything is possible.

  • I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the thief logs out of iCloud. Would we able to locate the macbook?

    I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" app and I have a doubt regarding how it works for the macbook. In order to detect the location, the macbook should remain signed into iCloud. What if the person who has stolen my macbook logs out of iCloud.
    It should work fine for iPhone/iPad because we can enable "Restrictions" to prevent the user from signing out of iCloud. Do we have simialr settings for the macbook?
    Thanks,

    If it's not on the device list, it indicates that someone has gone to Find My iPhone on icloud.com and manually deleted it from the device list (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0eeddd), and it has not gone back online since (which would cause it to reappear on the device list; Find My iPhone has been turned of in settings on the device; the iClolud account has been deleted from the device; or the entire devices has been erased and restored.
    Unfortunately, there's no other way to track the phone other than through Find My iPhone.  You could call your carrier and see if they would blackliste it so at least the theif couldn't use it.

  • My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on. ???

    My daughter and I both have iPhone 4s'.   Last night she switched to ios7 and I am still using ios6.  I use the find my iPhone app to keep track of her and since the update it no longer works.  Her phone says its on but when I try and locate it from either my phone or laptop it shows it offline.  Any suggestions.  It's my only peace of mind! Thanks!

    Does she have her own iCloud account?  You can have more than one iCloud account installed on a device, and some users install a secondary iCloud account which is common to others in the family to allow "Find My iPhone" to be used from one account while keeping separate iCloud contacts, mail, etc.
    But with iOS 7 although you can still have multiple iCloud accounts installed, only the "primary" iCloud account supports "Find my iPhone".  So if her iCloud account is the primary, you can no longer track her from your iCloud account.  Is that what happened in your case?

  • Does my phone have to be connected to the internet for the find my iphone app to work?

    it claims on the apple website that you can see a satellite map and everything from your computer just as if you were using another iphone to try and find your own phone through the find my iphone app,i signed into icloud through my computer but it says it cant find my phone because its offline,im 98% sure the find my iphone app is activated on my phone right now,so does that mean my phone has to actually be connected to internet to be found because that would be stupid..

    Yes, The phone needs an active data connection, either through WiFi or Cellular data.

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

  • Stolen iPhone 4S...any way to track it? other than using the Find My Iphone app

    Hi. So yesterday, my iPhone 4S got stolen while I was in PE class.
    Immediately after I realized that it was gone, I called my dad and he cancelled the service for me (Verizon) so that the person who stole it would not be able to use it.
    I've been checking my phone's status on the Find My iPhone app regularly, but it keeps saying that it's offline.
    So I was wondering, are there any other apps, websites, ANYTHING that I can use to find out where my phone is or turn it on? (so i can track it..)
    also, i didnt have iCloud on that phone.
    (as in i didnt turn it on on the phone itself)
    is there a way to get all my photos that i had on my old phone back?
    for example, if i get a new iphone, would i still be able to transfer the photos that were on my stolen iphone onto my new phone? (without iCloud....just using the same apple id user and pass)
    Thanks.
    O and one more thing..I read on other sites that I shouldn't contact the police because they just file a report and put the case aside.
    Do you recommend that I still report it to the police..just in case?

    Just so you don't hold on to that sinking feeling for not taking out every possible precaution aside from just leaving your phone at home and not using it...  after having your phone stolen or .. lost: 
    I paid the insurance to cover loss or damage for two year... (really dumb of me since the deductible is $200. USD: more than I can buy the exact phone online and more than I could have sold mine if I had sold it online; (iphone 4 -32g).  So don't kick yourself for not having insurance if you didn't. 
    I had all apps turned on: PhotoStream (which would have had to be active on your phone in order to retrieve photos to your pc or your mac now that it is lost).  However, it is only as good as the last internet connection you were on and only if your were on that connection long enough for the photos to upload to photo stream.  I was able to cover photos from Beijing and not the remaining 3/4 of my trip's photos. 
    Any photo app you may have been using most likely has an online access.  Did you download a photo app?  Start there.  Do you have an itunes account?  You can see what apps you have downloaded from there.  If you use a mac you can see the photos in photo stream, (a sunflower icon).
    Even if you had registered and jumped through all the hoops keeping app and updates up to par and a security passcode in place on the phone itself, your i phone tracking is not going to work at all unless the user is able to connect to the internet.  This is not going to happen unless they can access the internet by having your passcode.  So this tracking system, insurance and protection code is in most all cases a false since of security.  It doesn't help you 95% of the time... i am guessing. 
    The except is possible I know.   I found two iphones one time and saw the owners request to call them that was sent from the tracking system.  I called and returned their phones.   The people who have my phone have most likely dismantled it and are using the parts to recreate replications....  i lost it in China, lol.   where I saw massive fake reproduction within buildings that consume 7-15 floors and about 8 city blocks.  So, it isn't always about your information: in this case they wanted the hardware.  Which brings up the next point.
    In the iphone tracking portion of icloud.com there is an option to erase the phone.  I am not sure if this makes it unusable for the new owner of default or if it just clears your crap so they can actually use the phone.   I've left my stuff on the phone thinking it is most likely already in pieces.  (a kinda Frankenstein-ish feeling when I think about it).   If you erase you phone via the icloud it seems you are no longer able to track it.  it cuts all of your ties and abilities to do anything... if you could do something.  ...  hmmm.
    So, do not bother with phone carrier insurance on phones: better to make sure it is covered in a home renter's or owner's policy.  You have to specifically ask this of your agent or it is not a part of your coverage. This will cost you less than the usual cell phone insurance, shouldn't be more than $5. per month.  (i paid $10!!  ....  should be a class action going on somewhere around that in itself).   Phone carrier insurance is a scam from A to Z these days... don't fall for it like I did.  Yes, it was once a useful tool. Just make sure your home owner/renters ins deductible is not the same value as the phone. 
    So, do not fret that you did not have this "service" activated.  Do however, check to see if you can download Photo Stream to any computer and access your last uploaded pictures from the phone.  This application was most likely on your phone.  Although you would have had to tie it to an account on the phone in order to tap into photo in a cloud of sorts. 
    Hope this helps if nothing more but to ease the pain.

  • Is it possible to cancel a remote erase command set in the Find my iPhone app?

    I have recently been reunited with my 17" MacBook Pro by the police after it was lost.
    To cut a long story short I initiated the "erase mac" element as I thought I wouldnt be seeing my MacBook again.
    Sooooo........... now having the computer in my possession again, I d like to know if there is anyway that I can either:
         1. Stop the erase command from initiating?
    or
         2. Recover the relatively small amount of information that has not been backed up (due to travelling) possibly by
              turning my network connection off and taking off before connecting to the internet again?
    I ve contacted Apple Support and they have advised that (1) is not possible as far as they (the operator spoken with)
    are concerned, but (2) was a very good question that they have had no training on or information available about.
    As such, thought I would ask the Guru's here to see what are the possibilities, or have I just got to bite the bullet and
    accept the losses?
    I wondered if the erase command can be sent via an unauthorised network connection such as when wifi looks up what
    networks are available??
    I ve not turned the MBP on since getting it back and am assuming, as there is no notification from the Find my iPhone app
    that it has been located that way, that it has not had network access if it has been turned on at any time since I activated
    the locate and erase facility.
    Many thanks for you kind attention and hopefully positive response.   :-)
    Kind regards
    Bob

    There is one way you can try... it should work in theory. It's called Target Disk Mode. What this does is that you have to connect your computer to another Mac and your computer will show up on the other Mac as an external hard drive. You can then transfer everything to the other Mac.
    Here is where its going to get complicated. You would need another Mac. Since you said your MacBook Pro is a 17" then you still have the old FireWire ports. You need to find out what kind of FireWire port it is (400 or 800). Get a FireWire cable (it's going to be hard nowadays but try Amazon, eBay, Newegg). You might need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter is the other Mac only has Thunderbolt ports.
    Once you plugged the computers in with the right cable. Turn the other computer on first then turn yours on with the "T" key down. That will enable Target Disk Mode. (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10725)
