Find my friends not working

So my Find My Friends will not work for some reason. Both parties has theirs on and the only way it works if we're both open in the app. Anyone else have this problem. We have our background refresh on as well

I have it working only if everyone leaves the app open... (but that also drains the battery faster)
It seems to be a bug with background refresh and Find Frineds... I'm thinking the more people who complain the sooner Apple will look into it.

Find My Friends Not Working Properly after iOS 7 Update

Following update to iOS7, the Find My Friends app doesn't seem to work properly anymore. In particular, when the app is on, or running in the background (i.e. you can see it when you double tap the home button) everything is fine and my friends can see my location. When the app is killed, i.e. off or not running in the background, then my friends cannot see where I am.
That was not the case with the old iOS where regardless of the app running in background or not, my friends could still see my location. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you!

Appreciate that, but it's not as useful now. Many users have the same issue, also see

Find my friends not working with friends located outside my country

I Cannot share my location or see my friends location using find my friends because they live in other countries and their app store is not the same as mine(usa).
I can understand you cannot share apps or itunes purchases with your family if their apps store or itunes store are not the same as your, however I CANNOT understand why we cannot share locations in find my friends application, apparently for the same reason.
If I am wrong please let me know how can I include my friends leaving and belonging to apple stores different than my us store.and be included i nFind my friend

Hi Csaladen,
Find My Friends may not be available in all countries, due to technical limitations or local law. If your friends are in such a country you would not be able to use this feature to locate them. See this article -
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My Friends
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

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.

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.

I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?

Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.

Find My Mac not working for a non-admin account

I would appreciate some advice, or comment, on what I perceive is "Find my Mac" not working.
I use a Mac Mini (late 2009) to run my home media; it on 7/24, connected to a drobo drive and is running the latest Mac OX X Lion. I did a complete erase and install of the OS, and the recovery partition IS there.
I use an auto-login account, but with no administrative privileges. There is no monitor, keyboard or mouse connected to it, but in case it gets stolen, I want to find it.
When I log in with an admin account, I can turn on Find My Mac, under icloud prefs. When I relog into the normal user account, this preference is greyed out, and says "Needs administrative authorization".
So, is Find my Mac running, cause I turned it on with an admin account, or not?
If no, how do I make sure it is always running?
thanks

These are the notes of the steps I took which finally got my MBP to appear in FMM:
I clicked on the MBP remove device-> I took the MBP Wi-Fi off line-> I went to iCloud Pref's, unchecked find my Mac-> turned Wi-Fi back on-> went to iCloud pref's re-checked 'Find my Mac'-> went online to iCloud.com, selected the MBP, which had found it's location. I sent a message and sound to the MBP from the Mac mini, which instantly came up on the MBP.
SO, eventually my MBP 'Find my Mac' is working.

Find Friends not working under iOS 7

Find Friends is not working since loading iOS7 on my iPhone 4S. After logging in an alert appears stating "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications" with some explanation and an OK button. Pressing OK dismisses the alert, but it immediately reappears, covering the app screen again. I can't even exit the Find Friends app before the alert appears again and can't exit the app with the alert on screen. I have to shut down my phone (turn it off!) or restart the phone to exit the app! What a pain!
Restarting the phone has not resolved this or my inability to log into Face Time since loading iOS 7.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
Fred

I finally found a fix! After many attempts the only fix I found was to reset the phone totally. Reset all settings and contents from General Settings on the iPhone. Required setting up the phone totally from scratch, then syncing from the back-up I made to computer before doing the reset. Find My Friends and FaceTime work now.
Not a pleasant fix, but after hours and hours of trying other less drastic solutions without success this worked.

Find my Friends not receiving requests

I have installed find my friends app and setup icloud. I am not receiving friend requests in the app. My friends cant follow me but I can follow them. If I click on the request in my email it redirects to a page that says download the find my friends app. It is already installed. I have tried everyting I can think of...my sister's phone works but mine does not. Any suggestions? I am starting to get very frustrated with this app. Thanks!!

Movies are from Netflix-finder fork is not working !

Movies are from Netflix and always worked before. A finder fork ? is not working or not reading the movie .

Then you didn't look in the correct folder. Look in your home Library folder, not the main hard disk Library.
Also, did you actually follow the directions that Linc posted on your other thread. You seemed to just dismiss them without trying--or at least you didn't say you tried and they didn't work.

Dreamweaver CS6 "Find and Replace" not working

Since I've started working in DW CS6 I've noticed that the Find and Replace feature isn't working completely.
E.g. If I select a block of code, then open Find and Replace, tell it to find " " and replace it with "</li>" it only replaces the first instance. The rest of the 's are still 's.
Is this happening to anyone else? I may have to switch back to CS5.

Change the selection in the 'Search:' dropdown from the default 'Source:' to 'Text' or 'Text (Advanced)' and you will get the desired result.
bracdiver, your post may be useful in some examples, like the ones I posted above. However, this does not work in my intended example below (which is source code specific), where the actual source code needs to be replaced:
Sample
 These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.
<ol>
 <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen</li>
 <li>35% of people are going to school.</li>
 <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series.</li>
 <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables"</li>
 <li>There is no blank under this question. Answer beside this question instead.</li>
</ol>
Using these options
Find in: Selected Text (first four list items)
Search: Source code:
Find: </li>
Replace: ___________________</li>
Options enabled: Match case
Desired output:
These are true or false questions. Place your answer on the blank under each question.
<ol>
 <li>There are twelve in a baker's dozen ___________________</li>
 <li>35% of people are going to school. ___________________</li>
 <li>There are seven books in the Harry Potter series. ___________________</li>
 <li>The longest running play is "Les Miserables" ___________________</li>
 <li>There is no blank under this question. Answer beside this question instead.</li>
</ol>
CS6 DW output:

Using your workaround (with 'Inside Tag' option set to li), this will not work as does not change any text at all.
