I managed to use some of the features on the iCloud website but it's so fiddly and unreliable that I am much happier using the find my iPhone app on someone else's iPhone. We have three iPhones in the house and I have an iPad so we are covered as far as getting access to the find my iPhone app on another iDevice goes.

Thanks again for the information! Unfortunately, I've reached the same conclusion: JAWS just doesn't seem to like the Find my iPhone section of ICloud.com. Of course one could just use the app on another person's iOS device, but it would be good to have the option of doing it via the web as well. Grant On 5/26/12, M.
