Set Up Find My iPhone on Multiple iPhones With One MobileMe Account
|
|
Find My iPhone, to many people, is the ultimate integration between the iPhone and MobileMe. With your iPhone connected to your MobileMe account you can quickly find your lost, or stolen, iPhone and return to your landscape texting ways.
Unfortunately, some families have multiple iPhones and only one MobileMe account. If your wife, husband, or any family member or close friend, has an iPhone and a penchant for losing it, there is a way to add Find My iPhone to their device without dumping your entire email, contact and calendars on their iPhone.
1. Navigate on the iPhone in question to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
2. Tap on Fetch New Data. Turn on Push. You'll need this to communicate with MobileMe in a timely fashion.
3. Return Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap on Add Account... Tap the MobileMe option
4. Add your super-secret information. Note: Once you place your MobileMe account on another iPhone or iPod touch, that person has access to your email and contact information.
5. Turn off the other MobileMe options. Your kid probably doesn't care that you have a meeting at 11:30 to discuss the latest proposal. Turn on Find My iPhone.
6. Fire up your favorite browser and head to Me.com. Click on the Settings tab and then on the Find My iPhone option. After about 15 minutes, the iPhone will show up with its location.
UPDATE: On the Find My iPhone page, each phone will get its own map. There is no need to "choose" which iPhone is being displayed. Just scroll down to see the rest of your activated iPhones.
I personally have four iPhones set up on my one MobileMe account with no problem. Have fun stalking finding your family's iPhones.

Insurance companies cite women lower accident involvement in keeping the youth surcharge lower for young women drivers than for their male counterparts but adult rates are generally unisex.

So I've got 3 iPhones and three mobile me accounts. Is there a way as the admin account to get the other two phones on my account without having to log out of mine and back into theirs?
Seperate question, can I check location from Safari on my iPhone or do I have to log onto mobile me from my desktop?

I have been doing this since find my iPhone launched. I set it up for my new iPhone and my wife's iPhone and it was already set up on my old phone. It shows all three on the same page labeling each with the title assigned to that phone. Each phone will have it's own map.

That was a great tutorial on setting up Find my iPhone. However, you left out the most important part. How is the web interface different when you have multiple phones set up on a single account? Your image shows one phone. How do you choose which phone it will find? Also, how does Display a Message and Remote Wipe work when you have multiple phones set up?
