... Locate a lost iPhone? I have an iPhone, and my gf lost hers.

How do I gps locate it? It might be turned off, because I called it and it went straight to voicemail.

Have you tried to going to www.icloud.com, signing in with her apple ID, and clicking on "find my iphone"?

Look under the couch.







In other words, get off your ass and physically look for it.

You should have a find my iphone app on her phone. Go findmyiphone.com I think it is. Navigate your way to finding your phone bit and should ask for her apple id. I think it might show last known location.



ETA: that is the site I was thinking of.

We did. Then she realized what happened to it. Left it on the roof of the car...

Tried the findmyiphone site but it loads go daddy hosting.

Tried iCloud, but it will not let me sign in... ?

Downloaded the Find My Phone app and entered her info to login. Says the phone is offline. No last known location.

Crap. All of our family pictures are on there.

This site says it should display a last known location. If she didn't have the find my iphone app configured it won't be able to work. Also make sure you get the right itunes account and password. My brothers info didn't work but then he entered mine, it worked, then his worked. Best of luck.

Your best bet is to walk the path she took. It probably fell off in the first couple of miles. At or before her first sharp turn.

This happened to a buddy of mine a while back. His phone was toast

Install the find my iPhone app and restrict it so it can't be edited or deleted. Well, not on this phone cause this one is probably fucked  but you should definitely install it on the next one. Fuckin thing works wonders and the best part - my daughter is lo-jacked and she doesn't even know it

So she isn't answering your calls and you want to know where she is?

If the "find my phone" isn't working, it's probably turned off. Hopefully she has a lockscreen code so no one can use it. I keep telling my wife to lock her phone, but she says no one will take it.
