Find Friends app not working

Hello. I have reallocated my 5C to my son. I did a full restore and everything looked fine. We set up an icloud account for him and iMessage is working fine. For some reason, neither Find Friends or Find My iPhone are working. Both apps are showing his phone as off line which makes no sense to me. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Find iPhone app not working with iPad mini

I opened "find iPhone" app on my iPad Mini and my iPhone location is correct, but my iPad Mini is showing up at a past address 2000 miles away on the East coast. I have never even taken this iPad to that address. Any ideas?

You can't.
If its not a universal app, you are stuck with the phone version unless you buy the HD version.
Look for the 2x button on the screen with app open.

Find my friends app not working

I am unable to add or receive followers. It has been working fine for ages then one of my contacts said they couldn't see me anymore. They have sentence numerous requests but it hasn't come through to me (nor has it the other way round) and now another contact can't see me. Anyone else have this issue and resolved it?

Hey kw05,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:

Issues with location requests
You are not receiving requests from others to follow your location
If you're certain someone has sent you a location request using Find My Friends, and you do not receive the notification:
- Make sure that you're signed in to the Find My Friends iOS app with the Apple ID your friend is trying to follow. If that was not the case, check the inbox of the email address your friend used, and see if there is any location request email from your friend. If so, tap View Request in that message to accept or decline their request in Find My Friends.
- Make sure that the option to Allow Friend Requests is turned on:
          - Find My Friends 3.0 or later:
          - On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then check Allow Friend Requests under Invitations
          - On an iPad, tap the List button, tap Me, tap Info, then check Allow Friend Requests.
          - Find My Friends 2.1.1 or earlier: Tap the Me tab, tap Account, then check Allow Friend Requests under Notifications.
- Make sure that you're within the limits to accept follow requests. If you have reached a limit, you may not be able to accept more friends until you remove one.
Your requests to follow others are not received
- Make sure that you're sending your request to the Apple ID your friend is using to sign in to the Find My Friends iOS app.
- Make sure that you're within the limits to send follow requests to others. If you have reached a limit, you may not be able to send a location request to more friends until you remove one.
Note: If you accept a request from a friend that you’re not following, a follow request is sent to your friend automatically (Find My Friends 3.0 or later).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Find Friends app keeps saying "location not available" on iOS7?

After I updated my 4S to iOS 7, Find Friends will not actually find the person, it just pops up with "location not availble" everytime. I have tried restoring the phone, logging out then back in, and deleting the app then redownloading it and nothing has helped. The person I am trying to find says everything is working well on their end. Help!

My family has 5 iphone 5s's. Two of my kids and myself just upgraded from iOS6 to iOS7. Now, on my Find Friends app, their locations only say Location Not Available. However my wife and and my other child, still on iOS6, their locations immediately appear.
In talking with my two kids that are on iOS7, I have 100% confirmed that THE FIND FRIENDS APP MUST BE OPEN in order for their location to be found. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. Furthermore, my kids will not leave the Find Friends app open because it drains their batteries at an extremely fast rate. This is a new issue for iOS7.
By confirm I mean this. On a hunch I called them when their location said not available, and confirmed that their Find Friends app was closed. I asked them to launch their Find Friends app on their phones. I then checked my Find Friends, and suddenly their locations were visible. I then had them close their Find Friend app, and sure enough, my Find Friends immediately showed their location as Not Available.
THIS BEHAVIOR WAS NEVER PRESENT IN iOS6. NEVER!. I have also 100% confirmed that my wife's phone, beside me as as I type this, has all apps closed, including Find Friends. However her location immediately appears in my Find Friends list.
I certainly hope that Apple will fix this immediately. I bought the five iPhone 5s's over a year ago, almost exclusively because of the Find Friends app, so I could keep track of my kids. Never once did we have trouble with Find Friends. And the app did not consume much battery, even when it was open.

Notify no longer working with find friends app!

On find friends app the notify button no longer works and myself and everyone I'm trying to set the notify button has the latest update "6.1.2". Any one else having the same problem?

I didn't realize until I went to a class to lecture in front of a couple hundred students that what worked on Friday no longer worked on Monday. (I upgraded to iOS 5 over the weekend.) My iPad with lecture slides was plugged in 25 feet away. I finally recruited a student to tap the iPad screen when I needed the next slide. A nightmare. What is usually slick and seamless was a wreck.
Here's my deal. My remote app works fine at home where my iPod Touch and iPad are on the same wifi network. At school they're on different networks for some reason. Bluetooth doesn't work anywhere. So Apple needs to find this bug and fix it. I can't believe whoever is responsible for this didn't test this out before they released iOS 5. Sheesh.

HT201493 Is that right that find my friends is not working with ios7?

Is that right, that find my Friends is not working with ios7?

The location of the device ( iphone, ipad) will only be updated if Find My Friends is running on that device. If FMF is completely quit, that device's location will not be updated. This is a terrible change from before !

HT204407 Why doesn't the "notify me" portion of Find Friends app work?

The "notify me" part of the find friends app still doesn't work.

Hello,
I'm sorry if it wasn't clear... but I don't have ram issues with the Kingston type...
I used the new Kinsgtons in my macbook and wanted to take the originals from the macbook (Samsung) and them put in my iMac next to the other modules that were already in the iMac.
I know it's a bit confusing... ;-)
So... I have 2 x 4gb in my iMac from a brand I can't remember the name off... And I also wanted to put in 2 x 2 GB Samsung modules. So that would count up to 12 GB ram. Why? Because I took the Samsung modules out of my macbook and I thought I could reuse them in my iMac since they have the same specifications (1333MHz DDR3). But My iMac won't start up as soon as I insert those 2 Samsung modules.

Find Friends App

Find Friends App has not been working for several weeks now. Anyone else experiencing issues with the app? It states that the location of friends can not be found.

It's been doing that to me also. The app repeatedly asks me to sign back in when I was never out!!And I can't receive alerts no matter what I do. Can you receive alerts? And have you ever been able to get audio alerts?

Find my iPhone not working

My son's iPhone 4s was locked a few months ago by some friends who were playing a joke on him. They input the wrong passcode over and over again until it was locked indefinietly. I had to restore the iPhone using a method I found online and got his phone working again. I didn't realize it until recently, but his Find My iPhone app no longer works. It is on and logged in as my Apple ID (although I have to continually put the password in). Anytime I try to use Find My iPhone to locate his phone, it shows me that his phone is offline. Even when I open the app on his phone and try to locate his phone, it says it's offline.
I feel that this issue has something to do with the restore that I did. I don't remember exactly HOW I restored the phone, but know I used iTunes. I've checked his settings for Location Services and Find My iPhone...All are active and Find My iPhone is active on my sons phone. His phone is also updated to the most recent iOS software. The wierd thing is, I CAN find him or his phone using the Find Friends app. He has a tendency to misplace his phone in our home and the Find My iPhone app is great because it allows me to send a signal to play a sound to help us locate it. The Find Friends app doesn't have that capability. Has anyone else had an issue with Find My iPhone not working after a restore?

Usually Apple recommended the below steps :
Why your iPhone (iPad, or iPod Touch) not appear in Find My iPhone?
Here are some reasons:
Your iCloud account is not configured on your device. Choose Settings > iCloud and enter your iCloud account information.
Your device is not update. It needs to be running iOS 5 or higher.
The date is incorrect on your device. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your device has lost network connectivity. If you have access to your device, and it appears to have an active Internet connection, in this case enable and then disable Airplane mode or turn the device off and back on.
Your device appears in Find My iPhone, but is offline, the reasons:
Your device is powered off, such as when the battery has run out.
Your iPhone’s cellular service has been terminated by your wireless service provider.
Your iPod Touch, iPad, or Mac is asleep and not connected to a known Wi-Fi network. The command will be processed when your device is awakened and connected to the Internet.

Find friend app won't open

We have 5 iPhone 6's in our family, 3 of which are plus's. One of the 6 plus' will not open the find friends app. once you try to open it has the circle (wait) icon and nothing happens. We have tried to deleted the app and get the same thing, just sits and does nothing..... very frustrating. Have searched for some time now with no luck on finding a solution. Hoping you guys may know the answer.
Thanks

Not a problem at all. Honestly I can feel her pain there. I know restoring can be a mess. That's exactly why I try to avoid it at all costs myself unless its absolutely necessary.
I understand this option is out but if she did end up restoring when she pulled in the backup it would pull most of her settings back in so it would cover most of the work (including contacts, messages, reminders, etc) and also give us a clean shot at getting that app reinstalled.
From experience, whats happened is its not the application itself that is corrupt, necessarily, its most likely something that had happened to disrupt the download process when the app was being pulled back into that particular phone just based on how you are describing it.
Also one thing I might recommend is trying to sign out of the Apple ID that is signed into her phone and sign back in. A lot of times that will force the App Store to remove the items from the queue, that it seems to be stuck in this case, and should give her the opportunity to download it again.
I hope some of this helps and if you do have any other questions feel free to ask. I have a lot of time hands!

Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

Hi there!
We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
* Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
* Installed the november update
* Restarted OWA server
* ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp -EditingEnabled
* Restart-Service WACSM
- checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
* Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
* New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
* Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
Now here are the funny things:
* Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
* Word APP not working (screenshot)
* Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
* status of OWA is healthy

Notify Me function in Find Friends app

Has anyone been able to get the "Notify Me" feature to work in the Find Friends app? I believe I've made all the appropriate adjustments in Settings as well as the app itself. However, when the friend arrives at the destination I selected, the app does nothing other than unselect the "Notify Me" button. No alerts or notifications appear anywhere.

Joe:
Thanks for the reply but please understand that the article doesn't address my question at all (nor does it really provide any details on settings, etc.) For the record, here is what I've set up:
I am properly logged in with my iCloud and I am able to the current location of the friend that I am following. This gets updated every 30 seconds or so. So that part works.
In the iPhone settings area under "Find Friends" have selected "Allow Notifications", 5 notifications in "Notification Center" and "Sounds", "Badge App Icon", and "Show on Lock Screen" are all enabled.
In "Find Friends", once I see the map with the friend's location, I click on the "Notify Me" button which then asks if I want to notified when the friend leaves or arrives at a given location. That in turn takes me back to the map screen where I see the "Notify Me" button. Doesn't matter what option I choose (i.e., where leaves or arrive)--nothing happens.
Therein lies the problem.
Am I supposed to have the Find Friends open all the time or is the notification also supposed to work in the background. I have tried both approaches and neither yields any kind of notification.
Hope this helps.

In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
OS Yosemite,
Finder versión 10.10.1
Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name or email address, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
