Daughter has lost her iphone.
Find a friend and find my iphone both off.
Phone on silent not even vibrating.
Wifi says it's connected, tried ringing in dark nothing lighting up.
Phoner can hear ringing but nothing in house.
Is there any way of making the phone make noise?
Can Apple turn on sound remotely?
Back of the sofa?
The only important place to thoroughly check in the bins/recycling, if not there it will turn up, probably somewhere obvious and that already been checked three times 🙂
You can ping it with find my iPhone.
Find my phone is off drac.
I was being droll, a bit too earlier I guess,
keng38 can you email please regarding print buying
ta
Best way I've found to locate a lost item is to buy a replacement - the old one will appear like magic, usually in place already searched twice.
Ask St Anthony....Say, "St Anthony of Padua please help me find..." and then look. Works a surprising amount of times.
Is there any reason not to turn find my phone on?
Found in her bedroom this morning (after going through all the bins in great detail).
Looks like iOS 7.1 knocked find my iphone off completely.
Now re-installed again.
Discapade I have just mailed you.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma farmer Kevin Whitney thought his iPhone was lost for good when it fell into a grain elevator last year. Eight months later, his phone was returned unscathed after a trip to Japan.
Whitney, the manager of the Apache Farmers Co-Op in Chickasha, Oklahoma, lost his phone in October after it slipped out of his shirt pocket as he was unloading grain from a truck into a silo holding roughly 290,000 bushels of grain.
"I knew it was lost forever and there was no retrieving the thing," said Whitney, 53.
Whitney went out and bought a replacement phone the next day. But the loss of the phone was tough: Pictures of family photos from his daughter's wedding and vacation were stored on there.
What Whitney didn't know was that his phone was just beginning its journey.
The phone traveled to another Oklahoma grain facility before going down the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers to a depot in Convent, Louisiana. From there, the grain was loaded onto ships bound for another grain depot on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.
In late May, Whitney received a phone call from Eric Slater with the Zen-Noh Grain Corporation.
"Lo and behold, I get a call from a guy who works with this grain company in Convent, Louisiana, saying a guy at a feed mill in Japan found the phone," Whitney said.
Slater, manager for Zen-Noh's terminal in Convent, said he charged the phone and scrolled through to find Whitney's pictures and called him.
"I knew if that was my phone, I'd probably want it back," said Slater, who added it's not uncommon for cellphones to accidentally fall into grain shipments. "Frankly, I field about a phone a month."
Whitney was shocked the phone made it through such an ordeal in pristine condition.
"It's crazy because everyone's walking around with a cracked iPhone," he said.
After its global odyssey, the "old" phone came back in June, and is sitting in Whitney's desk drawer, safe at home.
Whitney said he's still shocked he got the phone back.
"It's amazing he didn't just throw it in a Dumpster or something, let alone send it back to somebody," Whitney said.

That's hardly the fault of Find My iPhone now, is it?
I'm pretty sure if you went there with a phone and tracked it to a specific flat the plod wouldn't be arsed to go there, just give a crime number and say claim on insurance.
Might be worth their while keeping tabs on it and see if it leaves the building, then confront the perp.

Did you expect a full address and the occupants name to pop up ?

Can Apple turn on sound remotely?
I think people have some big expectations of technology these days.
Does the find my iphone app use the camera? That is potentially the extra step to finding where it is or snapping the thief.
Cant you turn find my iphone on with icloud?
FindMyPhone does not get switched off with iOS updates, if it's on it stays on.
It saved my -rse when I lost my 1 week old phone, it had slipped down the back and under the cushion of leather chair in pub (too much beer may have been involved), we had and searched thoroughly and didn't give up as FindMy phone showed it clearly in the building.
@kimbers your friend has a problem with the police not the Apple software.
Looks like iOS 7.1 knocked find my iphone off completely.
Now re-installed again.
I would be 100% sure that's not how it was deleted.
Don't take this the wrong way, but if it was me, I would be wondering where it was she was going that she didn't want me to know about (you may not, but some parents use it to keep an eye on their kids)
Sorry 😐
I tend to agree with @neal. Apple recently announced in iOS8 they will support family iTunes accounts, the hidden subtext here is that the parents can enable FindMyPhone on the kids devices, check on the location any time and the kids can't turn it off. Kids aren't stupid, they know these features can be used this way.

His friend has a problem with a theif, the Police can't be expected to knock on every door of a block of flats looking for an iPad.

You don't need the "Find My iPhone" app to be installed to have "Find My iPhone" enabled.
The functionality is built-in. The app is just an interface that lets you find and ping/wipe your other registered iDevices.
But I think (someone?) had deleted the app, and .....
On an iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn off Find My iPhone .
Yep, sounds like it.
Probably worth noting that you can use Settings->General->Restrictions to lock the phone down and prevent someone from "accidentally" turning off the Find My iPhone feature.
Of course they could still turn off the phone or leave it at home though.
Personally my plan is to have a locator beacon implanted directly into the spinal column of both my daughters. The technology can't be far off.
