Find my friends - apple id without email

Just installed find my friends, but it's requiring my apple ID to have an email address. I have had an apple ID since dirt was born, so it doesn't have an email address in it. Is there a work around?

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

How to verify apple id without email?

how can i verify y apple id without email being send to me?

Hello tl121249,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
As a valid email account is required to be used with an Apple ID, you cannot create an Apple ID without having to verify it using email.
Set up an Apple ID in iTunes - Apple Support
Take care,

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?

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.

Find my Friends. Shared Apple ID. His and her iPhones.

My wife and I each have iPhones. We share an Apple ID. Can we use Find my friends if we share the same Apple ID?
thanks, eli

Just create another iCloud id. On the phone go to settings MAil,Contacts, Calendars. Then hit add account, icloud, get free apple id at the bottom. Then after you put in date of birth and location it will ask you to use an existing email or get a free @me.com one. I chose @me.com for my wife because I have her email listed under my main apple id so I didnt want to run into any problems. This is working great for me. Theres one step that asks you what to sync to icloud i turned it all off cause we are sharing one icloud id for find my iphone and photostream. Its working well!

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!

HT204407 Whenever I open find my friends after 10 seconds it says there's been a failure with my password or apple ID

Whenever I open find my friends after 10 seconds, it says I've entered the incorrect ID or password, I've tried making a new ID and I've deleted it and reloaded it, and various other things and it still seems to come up with the same message. I

Apple IDs once created through My Apple ID can not be deleted by the individuals that created it through the apple id site.
Or iCloud ID/Email
same steps on reseting the password
So the email address that you use as your Apple iD for which you use to sign into your icloud account, have you Actually went to Appleid.apple.com selected Create Apple ID and used that email address to create yuor Apple ID that you have been using this whole time?
i hope the answer is yes,
and if the answer is Yes, well the message states either Apple ID or Password is incorrect. Well looking at the Apple ID if it indeed is correct then, go to Appleid.apple.com and select Reset password which is located under the blue button that will read Manage Apple ID.
When selecting Reset password follow the information prompted, then you can chose to either
Reset the password by: Answering the Security Questions you set up when creating the Apple id OR
the Email Authentication - which send a reset link to your email address OR if you have a recovery email you entered when creating this Apple ID [AND followed the verification link process and verified it] the reset link will go to your recovery email instead.
otherwise contact AppleCare Account security [be ready to verify your information]

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?

HT204407 I updated to the latest IOS (5.1.1) today and since then Find my friends hang at "signing in" hangs during signing in. I can't back up & start over, every time I open the app, it's hanging there. Can I clear this without losing everything?

Hi..
Just to be on the safe side if you have not already changed your Apple ID password, probably should do that.

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.

Email Aliases in 'Find My Friends' app

At some point over time I created a number of different email aliases in 'Mail'. Over the past few years, I have removed some of those aliases and now have just two aliases. On the iPhone In 'Find My Friends' > 'Invitations' > 'Send As' is listed ALL the old aliases that I had removed via Mail settings some time ago. Why, and how and where do I delete them?

To fix this, go to My Appe ID (https://appleid.apple.com/), choose to manage your account, log in, and then change your Language and Contact Preferences.
Mine where set to Portugese... I will never know why but after changeing it to a English, logging in to the app again did the trick and texts and invitations are ok!

Why do you need to access your email? To reset the password?
If you're trying to change the password, you don't need to go to your email. If you know the answers to your security questions, you can reset it without using an email, as explained in the first section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. If you don't, you can contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.
