I have just tried using find my fiend and when i click on me it show a pin on map when i click on it it shows my wifes name not me as it does on my wifes ipad

If JV's suggestion does not help, rebuild the Envelope Index.
Quit mail.
Delete the file ~/library/mail/Envelope Index
Retart mail and it will reindex.

Someone else set up my apps on my iPad. Now when I load find friends it shows him instead of me. I rebooted and re installed the app. How can I remove him even though I'm signed in under my apple account

My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream. I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer. I can't find how to sign on.

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle

Why does "Find Friends" sometimes show a big, purple circle around the friend I'm locating? Not the small dot that *is* the friend, but a larger radius...

Essentially, that's the error bar of the location, indicating that your friend has not be accurately loccated.

Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

Finder does not show new files with older creation dates

Short story: when I somehow create new files or folders with older dates, Finder does not show them.
This happens e.g. when I unrar archives created some time ago: the files or folders coming out of the archive get their original date, which is earlier than today.
I can see those files and folders without problems in a terminal (using ls). But they don't show up in Finder when I visit the same directory.
When I use terminal to go into some directory that is not yet visible in Finder, and I open a new Finder window for that directory from within terminal (using "open ."), the new directory and its contents will show up in Finder.
My best guess is that some things have changed in the way Finder and the indexing of my flle system co-operate. In any case, this is higly annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem. I create files and they do not show up in their respective Finder window. I know the files are there because I created them and I can see them using Terminal and applications can open them. If I refresh the window by going to the parent directory and back again, the files do not show up. If I close all windows and open that specific window again, the files still do not show up. If I leave the computer overnight, the new files still do not show up. As brdsutte stated, after rebooting the computer, the files show up in the Finder window. Anyone have any suggestions?

Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

4) Define a new account & see if the problem occurs on that account.

I have 2008 aluminum macbook with OS X Lion. It does not recognize my canon sd1000. Finder does not show the camera.

My macbook does not recognize Canon SD1000. Camera goes to transfer mode and it looks like the problem is the computer. Finder do not show the camera at all. (I am not using any programs, iphoto etc...).

Instead GarageBand recognize my keyboard and i can play normally, also, if it can help, those are the Audio and Midi Logic Preferences and the Controller Surfaces Setup with the keyboard connected :

HT201272 My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem?

My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem? I have already authorised my new computer and I am currently downloading my purchased music and videos however the books (audiobooks) are not showing for download.
Hope someone can help!

"My audio books are not showing up in purchase history,"
That is correct. You cannot redownload audiobooks.
" is anyone having the same problem?"
Everyone and it is not a problem. Audiobooks simply are not available for redownload.

My iPhone 5s is plugged in. It does not show that it is charging but gives the alert "ding" sound every 15-16 seconds. Does anybody know what could be the problem?

It sounds like it starting to charge, then suddenly stops over and over. This can happen if the cable or adapter is bad or if your charing port has an issue.
Try using a different cable and/or wall adapter. If the issue continues, it's probably the iPhone. If it does not continue, then it's the cable or adapter. Continue to swap to see what's bad.
If you don't have another cable or adapter to test will, take your iPhone and your cable/adapter combo to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. They can help you narrow the issue down and provide service as indicated. https://locate.apple.com/country

HT204407 Friend not showing up on Find Friends despite all the settings being correct??

All their settings are correct and on yet they are not showing up on my find friend app. I am on theirs though....from both my iPad and iPhone!

Friends not showing up at all !!!

Ok, I have been using iChat for many years, have not changed anything about my settings, my network, or anything. Now, suddenly, my friends do not show up in my list, they are grayed out as if they are offline. I cannot IM them, or anything, yet, they are online at the time. Strange thing is, they all are having the same problems, myself and their friends are not showing online when they are on either. So this must be something in the iChat software, or with AIM? For us all to suddenly have the same problems. Oh, some of their friends on their list, are not necessarily my friends too, and even those people are having this problem.
What's going on? Has something changed at AOL or with iChat or something?
HELP!!!!!

Hi Todd,
I have been online all day (British time)
I have not seen a mass drop out of Buddies.
However once about every 3-4 months AIM clear out what they think are unused Screen names and they also have to be removed from everyone's Buddy Lists.
This has a knock on effect depending on the name and how many people used to have them as an active buddy.

New Facebook friends not showing up in contacts.

When I first got my phone I added my Facbook information into the Droid 2 accounts and it added all of my Facebook friends into my contacts on its own. My question is, does the phone automatically add new friends? I added a new friend on Facebook today and its not showing up in the contacts on my phone. I don't see any sync settings for Facebook, just a box for your email and password.

I also noticed that people's pictures are'nt being updated in contacts or social networking droid app.
