Find My iPhone - auto refresh

Is it possible to auto refresh "Find My iPhone". This would allow me to use it as a tracking application and help my wife NOT get lost again!
Thanks

Yes. With the location dispalyed on the map, click the Refresh arrow/circle in the upper left box to the right of My Devices.
And as KT said, Find my Friends might work better for you.
Or maybe a Garmin Nuvi for your wife?

Finder doesn't auto-refresh?

Hello,
On my first use on a Mac, I know that the Finder will automatically update any changes e.g renaming, hide/show extension etc.
Recently, what I found was the Finder doesn't automatically update itself.
Usually I will hide all my documents' extensions. But when I want to show the extensions again, I either have to other folder on the same window then re-navigate to the folder where I put the document which I want to show its extension. This also goes the same when I want to rename and re-hiding the extensions
Sometimes, Finder also doesn't display the live preview (feature like in Vista & 7 which let you see the content of documents without opening it) of certain documents (iWork '09, Office 2008, MindManager 7)
Any idea what happened here?

Well after trashing plists and restarting and repairing permissions.. la la la..
I decided since I have the extended AppleCare what am I doing pondering when I can just call them??? I know what I was doing, I was hoping I could figure it out myself or another user would know.
I called Apple and zip (well about 20 mins) the rep and I found the problem (it had to do with preferences and login items a bizarre combo of several of them) and fixed it!! Yay!!
We also had to set up a test account to be sure it was my account preferences that were in disarray... worked like a charm. She hoped that was also the cause of my optical drive not reading DVDs but alas, my baby will have to go to repair. It was a great learning experience I will keep in mind for the future. Try out a test account and if I really need help CALL them
Thank you again Barry for answering my plea

HT4061 How do I refresh the Find My iPhone map now that they have "upgraded" the product? There is no longer a refresh button.

Until this week there was a button next to the device identification that allowed you to refresh the Find My iPhone map. That button is now gone and I cannot see a way to refresh the map without exiting and reentering Find My iPhone. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You need to go to the part where you see your device on the map and then there is a little refresh button next to the name of your device on the map page.

Where's the Refresh Button on Find my iPhone on web page?

TS4006 I have several iphones on find my iphone. How do I know which one is the correct iphone. None of them are labeled Iphone4 or 5 etc.

I just had my iphone stolen from me. In the past I have always set up my phones an ipads on to the find my iphone service. I have never deleted them from the find my iphone account and now I have 3 iphones showing and 2 ipads. How can you tell the difference when none of them are labeled as Iphone 4, iphone 4s, iphone 5, etc. No dates are shown as when purchased so it I can't figure out which one is the correct iphone to put on lost mode and send message to.

Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
1. You don't need to.
2. Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
3. Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
4. It restricts it to Wifi. If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
5. Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
6. The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say. It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

Broadcasting of workbooks, auto-refresh and other questions

Hello Reporting gurus.
Our users run BEX Analyser queries but this is evolving towards more automation and fancy things. A lot of threads exist on the subject but I have not been able to find clear answers. We are on BI 7.
1) How do we use the broadcaster to refresh workbooks and output the results to a network share drive.
2) Queries being part of the workbooks work with user input variables. Do I have to change all queries (or create new ones identical) with user exits variables to fill in the fields for auto-refreshing w(ith let say the current year and current fiscal period etc...) ?
3) Is it possible to create a parameter input screen to pass on variables values to the broadcaster before the auto-refresh takes place so that I don't have to create user exit variables ?
4) How can we view workbooks with the BEX WEB Analyser ? Or do we have to create an application with WAD ?
Thanks

Hi Yves,
in Analyzer you have an menu entry publish with BI broadcaster, then a broadcaster will appear. there you can create a setting. inside that setting you can use a variant and with SPS 13 also variable sets. There you can define the users who should receive the updated workbook by mail. It is not possible to save to file system, but you can save in Portal.Web Analyzer is only to use with WAD and is not able to process Workbooks.
best regards,
kai

Using Excel 2007 to display and auto-refresh planning.

Hi all,
a customer wants to display a simple planning screen on a 24" monitor.
We're using an old domain pc, with domain user (planning) logged on to display the planning file.
We've configured the worksheet so that multiple users can edit it.
I've also found the settings which auto-update the file. I was amazed that this is standard functionality.
Although, it doesn't work as we expected. It goes well, but when too much users work in the file, some users still get the error message: 'can't open file because it's already in use'.
This does NOT happen when the file is not constantly opened by the 'planning user'.
So that's one issue, probably caused by the 'planning user', having the file opened 24/7.
Another issue is that the file stops auto-refreshing after a while. I didn't find any pattern in that.
So basically, what the customer needs is:
Display Excel worksheet
Auto-refresh
I've found some nice articles about SharePoint and Excel services, but unfortunately they're running SharePoint 2010 Foundation, which does not include Excel services...
Is there any other way or tool to achieve this, without using the Excel-built-in options?
Or maybe there's a fix for that problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi LunAds,
I'm afraid you have just discovered how bad these features are implemented in Excel: they just don't work properly and I always advise against using them for any serious long-term solution.
If you do not have Excel services, then editing the document on the server (which would prevent lots of problems) is out of the question indeed.
Alternatives depend a lot on your needs.
For example, you could use sharepoint lists that the users can edit and then import those lists into Excel for reporting purposes.
But if this is relational data (parent-child tables, which is very often the case) then a database solution is probably the best route to take.

The IOS 6 updates in find my iphone app is horrible. I was using IOS 5 on my iphone till I got a note in apps to update to IOS 6, I thought it would be good, but it changed all my apps, and I do not like it.

The IOS 6 updates for findmy iphone does not work as well as IOS 5 app. It will not let you update your location when you tap the refresh arrow. So tired of it telling me that my iphone is offline when it is never off. The IOS 5 was great and it worked so much better then the IOS 6. Not only have find my iphone app changed but all my apps changed when I downloaded the IOS 6 update. If I knew that I would not get the same apps back as they are now, I would put my iphone back to factory settings. But my fast updates on my computer are IOS 6.

Auto refresh flash chart not working (APEX 3.1)

Hi All
I followed the instructions on how to update auto refresh flash charts on the following page:
http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/2007/04/auto-refresh-flash-charts-in-apex-30.html
Is there anything else that needs to be done? I dont get a 'last refreshed' date, nor does the chart refresh itself.

user447071,
I would check:
1) Can you access the flash files directly? Look at the page's HTML to find reference to an SWF file, then try to access that from the URL.
2) Is the XML coming back properly? Run the page in debug mode, then click the "Show XML" link after the Flash chart.

I accidentaly clicked "remove" when using find my iphone...how do I log in when my iphone is not with me to find it?

i was using "find my iphone" and when given the location it was an old location. A post read that the iphone was either turned off or the wifi was not being used. A remove or cancel button appears with this message. I accidentally clicked cancel and now when trying to retrive information about the location of my device it says that I must refresh page or set up instructions. There must be a way to reinstate my account without my device physically present but I do not know how...can someone help me?

What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone.

How to fix a website that auto refreshes to not open up in a new tab.

I use a scheduling website for work that auto refreshes. Sometimes when the page auto refreshes it opens up the current page I am on in a new tab instead of just refreshing in that tab like it usually does.
I have reset safari multiple times and it doesn't help. Any idea what I need to do?

Type '''about:config''' in Address bar and search '''browser.newtab.url''' change the value to "about:newtab"

Production Order - Trigger won't Auto Refresh

2007A PL49 - Just upgraded from 2005A
I have the following query set in a UDF on the Production Order.
SELECT T1.PriceAfVAT
FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
WHERE T1.ItemCode = $[$-6.0.0] and T0.DocNum = $[$-32.0.0]
The query wasn't working after the upgrade from 2005. I had to change the query to include the negatives "-" in the WHERE clause. Once I did this the query was working fine. However, now that the query is working it doesn't refresh automatically.
My settings are as follows:
Auto Refresh When Field Changes is selected
The field is Production Order Origin Number
Display Saved User-Defined Values is selected
If I place my cursor in the UDF and hit Shift+F2 the query is executed and pulls in the correct data.
How do I get the Auto Refresh functionality to work properly?
Note: other triggers are working correctly after the upgrade.

The problem is probably you selected Auto Refresh Field Changes as the same field in the Where clause. If you could find any other fields to select, it should work.
Thanks,
Gordon

How can I get my friends tracker to work on find my iPhone when my tracker on the other device won't find me?

My friends tracker on find my iPhone won't track me when it's on and she already refreshed the page multiple times and I'm not popping up on the tracker.

Are you saying you're using your friends iphone to use findmyiphone to track your phone?
If so did you set up findmyiphone in icloud settings on your phone?
