Edit addresses saved in Find My Friends

When I open the Find My Friend app it shows me 4 addresses. 2 were custom-saved by me, and the other 2 both displays "Home"
However, both "Home" addresses are wrong (I might have saved them incorrectly before). Now I'm trying to delete and re-enter my home address, and it's not letting me.

HT204407 Find My Friends: how to delete a saved address

My son change schools recently. I have the new school address saved to notify me when he arrives, but how do I delete the old school address?

The only way to clear the email address autofill cache is to perform a Restore (via iTunes) and set the phone up as new, meaning all your settings will have to be re-entered, and all your content re-synced. Up to you to decide if that's worth it, but that really is the only way, unless/until Apple changes it.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT204407 my 2 daughters and I are sharing one icloud. I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them, but it won't let me. It says I can't send a request to myself when I send one to her email address, which is different than mine. What am I d

my two daughters and I have iphones. I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them. We have 1 icloud, but different emails. When I send a request it states that I can't send a request to myself. What am I doing wrong

Sharing an Apple ID is never recommended for these reasons.
They can create their own: http://appleid.apple.com and you can add them at the addresses they use for their ID.
Sharing an Apple ID is not recommended because all of your data gets merged and when it gets deleted from one device, it deletes from them all, such as Contacts.

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

Change an email address to a name in find my friends app

I have 7 entries on find my friends. All are the first names of my friends except for one. That one is an email address. I haven't been able to figure out how to change the entry to a name. Is there a way to do it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you referring to iMessage?
If so - it is probably because that friend has enabled sending messages / starting conversations from their email
You can toggle that off or on from
Settings - Messages - Send and Receive

HT204407 Wrong address on "Find My Friends"

I just downloaded find my friends on my phone and my son's phone. The address it is showing is incorrect. I have double checked our Apple accounts and the address is correct. It's not that big a deal, just wondering why the address is not correct.

I am not able to add friends. I have 5 friends already added to the app and it works fine for those 5, but I cannot add anymore. I was able to send one request, but it was never received. I am also not getting any requests.
The 'Done' button is greyed out when I try to add a friend. I have 'Allow Changes' selected in Restrictions. I have tried closing app, reinstalling app and signing in and out of app, but nothing works.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Find My Friends - Old email address still in "Send As" Invitations...

In Find My Friends App, Under Me (The Account Holder), Invitations, in the Send as tab, I have old email address in that menu which I can't delete, its says under it in orange, "This address will be used to identify you when sending requests using Find My Friends. You can add more addresses at appleid.apple.com
I have logged into appleid.apple.com and there is no additional or alias addresses under that id, I have also checked my icloud email for aliases and to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas to get rid of the old email addresses under Invitations?
Thanks

Only temporary solution I Have found is:
1) Delete all the alias email´s you want removed from iCloud.com account
2) Go to your apple Id account ( Web)
3) ad all the email address´s or alias email´s you want removed
4) wait 30 minutes or so
5) now delete the alias email´s you want removed.
make sure Find my Friends is installed before you do the above
check back later after 30 minutes or more in your find my friends app to see if they are gone.
try logging out also.
this worked for me but is only temporary on the client side as if you decide to later delete
the find my friends APP on your iPhone 4+ or iPad 2 + and later install the APP Again,
all the alias email´s will have returned to your find my friends APP Under send as
have tried the new Find my friends app and nothing has changed. so this solution is only
temporary.

A large portion of edited and saved material seems to have been lost in transit this is time sensitive material that i need to find

I have been editing and saving a project to the adobe cloud when I tried to send it via the link all material was lost and has so far not been recovered

You really need to provide more information if you expect any help.

Find My Friends - Apple ID issue... Help

Hi,
I've been using Find My Friends on my @me.com account. But since I've changed all my devices from @me.com accounts to @icloud.com accounts it doesn't work.
It says at the bottom of the Find My Friends app,
Signed in as ******@icloud.com
but the
"Send As" field say ********@me.com
When I click on the Send As it says 'Account' *********@icloud.com
I can't add any friends to Find My Friends it says 'Unavailable due to a sever error' nor can I add anyone who sends a request.
I think the problem is the ********@me.com under account section, it needs to be ********@icloud.com but I can't change it.
I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it but with no joy.
Anyone else come across this issue?

you have to edit your appleID to reflect an actual email address.

All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available".

All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available."Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe because of the inclimate weather?

This was the only thing that actually worked. I have 3 iPhones, and 3 iPods on my account. All of the devices could see and use our contacts and calendars, except mine all of a sudden. They were there yesterday, and today I went to use my contacts, and poof, gone@!
My settings had been changed somehow, so that my cloud sync was off for calendars, notes, and contacts. I never did this, and my phone is password locked, so my kids couldnt have. I went and turned them all back on, but they wouldnt show any synced data, even though I was plugged in and on my home wifi.
I tried this trick, but starting a new iMessage, add a contact, go and add/edit a contact, and suddenly I could see all the data. All my contacts were there to choose from to edit an existing contact. I edited something simple, and then saved it, backed out, checked my contacts data and calendars, and they magically appeared again.
This seems to be a problem in iOS as the data was apparently there, but not showing. Now I am good. Thanks a ton for the tip!!!!

HT201493 How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers

Editing address book on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I can't figure out how to edit address book entries on my printer. Can someone provide some tips?

One of the easier ways to do this is through the EWS, or embedded web server. Find the IP address of your printer by pushing the wireless icon on its display, and put that ip in to a web browser ad if it was a web site. After that if you go to scan to email along the right, or you may have to go to scan along the top first, you should see address book on the left column. This is going by memory so if that doesnt work let me know and i confirm on an actual unit.

Does Find My Friends need to be installed to work?

Hey all,
I have a problem with something that happened Monday. My fiancee was in the hospital sunday night but went to work monday anyways, and her sister picked her up from our house and dropped her off from work. So she didnt have a car all day. She works at a main campus but there is another smaller campus about 15 minutes drive away. We were texting all morning and then at 10:45am she stopped texting. No problem. After 45 minutes I got conerned because she was in the hospital a few hours before. I texted her "are you OK?". Nothing. I called her. Nothing. Another 30 minutes go by and being so concerned, I login to Find My Friends and she pops up as being at this smallar campus. Let me make it clear, she has nothing to do with this other campus and has no need to be there.
After a total of 2 hours of no responses, she texts me back and tells me she was in a meeting at her boses office (which is in the same biulding and floor as her own building). Confused, I login to Find My Friends again and now I see her at the shuttle stop at the smaller location. I watch it as she appears to have gotten onto the company shuttle that takes workers from the main campus to the smaller campus. So it appears FMF was 100% accurate as it was stationary at the smaller campus for 45 minutes, then jumped to the shuttle stop and then I watched the shuttle drive to the main campus through the city.
Now, the only saving grace is that her mom also has an iPhone. However, sometimes her mom would be logged into her Apple ID account (but never her iCloud account). Her mom updated her iPhone about 6 days ago to iOS 5. She created an iCloud account and verified it, but never setup the iCloud section in her settings and never installed Find my Friends on her iPhone. Her mom does work at this smaller campus. So, my question is could her moms deivce have replaced my fiancees device for Find My Friends? Even though she never setup the iCloud settings on her phone and Find My Friends was not installed??
Thanks all for your help. This was an caring and innocent discovery that I cannot stop worrying about.

No, Find my friends would need to be installed, you change the device being followed from the find my friends settings. It could be either device being followed depending on the settings, not which was last logged in, you can choose any device to follow from any device, the chanes are then synced across all devices.
