  • HT5622 My ipad hangs up after showing a message that says it "Cannot Access Find My Friends" and that I need to open the app and review my signin info to continue sharing. I can't go there because it is hung up. I also can't power off.

    Perform a Reset...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Find my Friends and Cellular connection iPhine 4 iOS7

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 installed and after installing I see that find my friends app is not working and looking into it, I saw that the app was not listed under 'Use cellular data for'. It works when it is within wi-fi range but not when using cellular data. I could not find any setting to include this app to use cellular data. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Fortunately I found the solution to my problem. I signed into iTunes with my wife's Id and downloaded Find my friends and find my phone without her phone connected. Next I Went to the App Store on her phone and went to updates/purchases. Find my friends and Find my phone were both there waiting to be downloaded via the cloud. When I chose each one it gave me the option to download a compatible version because I did not have iOS 8. It proceeded to install older versions on my phone and they work perfectly!

  • I am trying to use Find My Friends and I have been through troubleshooting 3 times. Why won't my location work? Everything is on but the 2nd screen in Find My Friends is grayed out, whereas my other family members 2nd screens are active?

    I am trying to use Find My Friends and I have been through troubleshooting 3 times. Why won't my location work? Everything is on but the 2nd screen in Find My Friends is grayed out, whereas my other family members 2nd screens are active? I have an iPhone 6 Plus, latest ios8, and yes my location says it is being shared, but it is not.

    I decided to try and boot from the Tiger discs, but when I did, all I got was a screen that looked like a blizzard of pixels.
    The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
    I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
    Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
    Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
    Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
    Thankfully No.

  • Find My Friends and iMessage no longer shows names?

    I imagine it did some auto-update and now when I get a text it shows the phone number and not the name, when I look at my Find My Friends app it shows there email instead of a name and photo.  I am pretty sure it just needs access to the contact indo but outside of deleting the apps and reinstalling them I do not know how to do this.

    Suggest you try signing out of your ID for both services, then force close both apps, reset your phone, then sign back in.

  • I have geofences setup in Apple Store and Find My Friends apps I can't remove

    I have geofences set in the Apple Store app and Find my Friends and I can't clear either one of them.  Is there a way to do this??

    What evidence do you have that you cannot clear these?
    Have you tried turning them off in Settings > Privacy > Location Services?

  • 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.

  • Server error on Find My Friends after apple id change

    I keep getting a server error on find my friends after I updated my apple id.  I have made sure I've updated my apple id everywhere including icloud.  What is really wierd is when I go into find my friends, and click on "me" the "Send As" under invitations shows my old apple id but when i click on that to change it, my new id shows up in that space.  Its like the iCloud has a glitch on my old apple ID.  I'm not even sure a complete phone restore would work if icloud is the problem.  Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem! I started out with an old @mac.com address that then got migrated to an @me.com address. I log into my account with the @mac, but my email address is @me. It seems like the app is trying to verify the @mac email address, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't believe there isn't a fix for this yet!

  • Does Find My Friends notify friend when you set up a geofence alert on them?

    If I selected to be notified when my friend leaves a location, do they also recieve any sort of notification or push that I set up the alert on them? Or when they leave the location?

    Your questions are asking whether the person being located is being NOTIFIED. The answer depends on your definition what a notification is, but the short answer is NO.
    The device being located does not display any notifications: banner, alert, badge or otherwise.
    The device does not receive a text or iMessage alert.
    When an app is using Location Services, a solid location services icon is diplayed next to the time at the top. This includes Find My Friends' attempts to provide the device's location to the service.
    Please see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4487 and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4008 for more information on Find My Friends and Troubleshooing Find My Friends.
    *Solid location services icon is the small arrow icon. This is different from the outline of the arrow meaning an app will be triggered when a location or 'geofence' is entered or exited.

  • Find My Friends & iCloud & Apple ID

    Hi, a few days ago I was informed that my main email provider was shutting down (O2).
    I used to have the O2 email address as my Apple ID. So I changed it for a Hotmail address via Apple ID website.
    I changed my iCloud email to the same Hotmail address too, as I don't store anything there anyways.
    Problem is that Find my Friends uses my O2 account to log in, if I take the key lock off my phone it automatically logs me out.
    I then have to go to Apple ID to make my O2 email the primary account to be able to log back into Find Friends.
    As the O2 account is soon to close, I will soon no longer be able to verify the O2 email as my primary and I'll be locked out permanently
    or I'll have to keep a key lock on my phone constantly.
    Basically I need to sign out of Find my Friends and re-enter my new Apple ID.
    Anyone know how to do this, please???!!!
    Thanks.

    How was this resolved?  I have tried i sign into iCloud, but never do receive the email to verify and authenticate my sign in?

  • Find My Friends Follow Requests

    A friend has sent me multiple requests to follow me on find my friends and no matter what I do it won't allow me to accept the request sent via email nor does the request show up in this app.  However, I am able to follow them.  I have tried all the suggestions in the help function of the app and have reinstalled and uninstalled the app a few times.  Can anyone help?

    Check Settings > General > Restrictions.  If restrictions are on, it could be that either Find My Friends is set to disallow changes, or location services are restricted.

  • Why my location is not shared with friends on Find My Friends?

    I'm not able to share my location with friends. 'Share My Location' option is disabled and I couldn't enable it. Sometimes it is getting enabled automatically and after sometime it is disabled. However my location is never shared with friends. My friends are receiving a messages 'Location is not available'. Location sharing is enabled in settings>privacy>location services>find my friends and also in iCloud>Advanced>Share My Location>. It also displays the name of the friends currently my location is being shared. But my friends aren't able to see my location. What do I do?

    You probably using a Wi-Fi iPad without GPS.

  • Share my Location iOS8 or Find my Friends?

    What is the relationship between 'Find my Friends' and 'Share my Location' in iMessage?
    Firstly. If I 'Share my location indefinatey' in an iMessage, does this sharing somehow continue after I delete the iMessage post used to initiate the share??
    Is 'share my location' a replacement for 'find my friends'?
    Are they one and the same now?? I'm confused..

    Find My Friends is a Third-Party App that requires you to specifically approve whomever your "Friends" are.  Once you and they Approve within the App you can click on the App at any time and if your Friend is within WiFi (or Cellular Data if selected) you will see where they (i.e., their iPhone) are located at that point in time, or the last time they where connected.
    The iMessage Share My Location is a Feature within the standard Messages App
