How do you use Find Friends from same account on multiple phones?

I have one itunes account with 3 iPhones.  When I send an invite from one phone to another persons email (in my family), it says I can't accept request from the same person.  Basically, it seems that all the phones are tied to one Find Friends itunes account.  Can you use this app in the same family with same accounts?

I have a similar problem. I hope that Apple will offer a solution. It would appear to be possible because you can choose to see one of your other devices by signing in at me.com using your Apple ID and will be able to choose any of your devices and track it on a map. I'm a little disappointed that this is an issue but will remain optimistic that someone at Apple will wee these posts and provide an update.

  • How do you use "find my phone"?  I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

    How do you use "find my phone"?  I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

    The app is not necessary; that only for tracking from another iOS device. If you set up Find My iPhone, you can track the iPhone from the iCloud web site:
    icloud.com/find
    If you didn't configure Find My iPhone on the device before you lost it, then you're out of luck.

  • How do you Deauthorize a machine from your account

    Hi all, I don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not, If I'm not then I'm sorry. How do you Deauthorize a Machine from your account, anybody know? what it is. When I set the account up to buy tracks from Itunes. I was using the same Laptop that I'm using now, Just a differnt hard drive as The old hard drive died on me. I never bought any tracks from Itunes so I didn't have any to lose. I couldn't deauthorize this laptop because I didn't know that the laptop was going to die on me. In went the new hard drive. re-installed windows xp pro & re-installed itunes 8.1 clicked on authorize this machine & it came up with 3 machines out of 5. it's the same Laptop on the account. how to I remove this laptop twice from the account is it possible cheers?, If i do remove 1 of the machines, will I lose the rights to play back the tracks that I've bought today?

    You can't deauthorise 'dead' installations or computers you no longer have access to individually. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How do you remove credit card # from iTunes account

    How do you remove credit card # from iTunes account without entering a new one because added money to account from gift card?

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • Had prepaid visa on my account and now want  to use Itunes card and will not work how do you delete visa card from my account

    please help how do you delete visa from my account? I put in Itunes card and it shows my 15.00 credit but cannot download tunes. What do I need to do? I think visa card is issue

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • HT5312 How Do I Stop email Harassment from same person creating multiple apple Ids?

    Hi,
    I am being harassed by someone who is creating multiple apple ids and deleting them.  The person is constantly trying to get me to click on links.  When I tried to reply to one ID the person created, an error came up stating "this user does not exist" It then provided me with a code for that user.  I believe this person has hacked into my account on multiple occassion because a lot of time right after I change my password, it stopped working again a few days later. 
    I feel I have no privacy.  This person sends all kinds of emails using the names of major brands as the front.  All the emails look cheap and it seems as if it wants you to select the "unsubscribe" button which then phishes my info someone.  Can someone tell me who I can report these emails at apple to investigate?  The would have to know who created the email links, which are used once then deleted, but the person who is doing this is the same I'm certain. 

    Hello ascending404,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the emails you have been receiving.  I would be concerned about this too.  I found a resource that provides some good information about identifying and reporting emails like the ones you are recieving. 
    I recommend reviewing the full article, but this specific section provides steps for reporting these emails:
    What to do with suspicious iCloud emails
    If you receive a suspicious email, select the message text so that it is highlighted. Choose Forward as Attachment from the Message menu (OS X Mail) or the Actions menu (Outlook). Send the email to [email protected] This provides Apple's legal department and law enforcement with useful information to help prevent future phishing emails.
    Note: For suspicious emails related to iTunes, see this article.

  • Restoring iphone backup from itunes account with multiple phones.

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can please help.
    Problem as follows:
    Backed up/synced both my wifes and my iphone 4 to the same itunes account on Macbook. Wifes phone gets stolen, so get myself new iphone 5 and new Macbook. Managed to set up and get my data onto new phone without any problems, so all sorted.
    I now want to pass on my old iphone 4 to my wife, but I cant restore the back up from her stolen phone on the old Macbook as itunes seems to only recognize and associates this phone with its last back up containing my data. Is there anyway that I can restore from the stolen phones backed up data? I have tried restoring the phone to factory settings, but then I still only get the option to restore from that phones original back up.
    Would be grateful for any help.
    Thx

    Yes it is possible. Just log in on both phones using the same iTunes account info.
    As far as synching goes, iTunes remembers the info you want synch'ed on each phone separately.
    If you download an app on one phone and pay for it, it will be free to download on the 2nd phone as long as you use the same iTunes login

  • HT4865 How can you use find my iphone or find my friends on a ipod for a kid (daughter) but restrict who can see your personal calenders on their device. I realize you can turn off icloud. If ipod is lost, others can get your data by turning on icloud

    I just purchased an ipod for my daughter. Since she is only 7 y/o she cannot create an icloud account. Therefore, I had to use my apple ID to create an icloud account on her ipod.  I would like to have find my iphone and friend finder on her ipod for tracking purposes.  The only problem is that all of my personal calender, notes, reminders etc get transferred automatically to her ipod which I don't want.
    I turned off the icloud calender, notes, reminders etc on her device so that my data doesn't get transferred to her device now. My biggest concern is that if she loses her ipod someone could turn the icloud function back on and automatically get my data. 
    Is there anyway to be able use the tracking features yet protect my icloud from being turned on by a thief?

    Password locks, Restrictions password protected or not anyone who gets your iPod can restore it to Factory Settings/New iPod.  This will completely disable Find My iPhone so that the iPod can no longer be tracked.  It is not a good idea to not use the lock password, because if someone get your iPod they can see all of your contacts, calendar entries email, email passwords, etc.

  • How to use File History from same account on 2 PCs to same NAS

    I recently upgraded from Win7 to Win8.1 and am unsuccessful in using File History as I'd like.  Perhaps it's a configuration issue, so I'll explain my goal, what I've done, and the problem:
    I have a PC and laptop, both in the same HomeGroup and I use the Microsoft Account on both.  Heretofore I've used a 'backup program' (SyncBack Pro), to synch the Documents folder between the PC and laptop, and then backup the PC's Documents folder to
    a folder on a NAS (Network Attached Storage).  That worked file.
    Now, attempting to use File History, I setup up a NAS:\File History folder on the NAS and turned File History on both on the PC and laptop, pointing to the same NAS:\File History folder on the NAS.  (Actually, I didn't enable it on the laptop until
    File History on the PC had completed its initial run.)  Within 1 or 2 days, the NAS was out of space but shouldn't have been.  When I use Windows Explorer to list contents of subfolders in Documents in the File History folder on the NAS, it shows
    the same files and sizes as it shows on the folders on the PC.  But when I use Windows Explorer to get the Properties of those folders, it shows exactly 2 or 3 (differs by folder) times as many files, and 2 or 3 times the total space taken on the
    PC.  There are many folders in the $OF folder.  I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that $OF would hold old files (e.g., deleted or superseded) but there probably aren't more than 4-5 files that changed over this time period.  All this is making
    me think that perhaps when File History runs on, say the laptop, it actually replaces all files of the same names saved by File History running on the PC and vice versa.  Perhaps that's wrong, but it's the only way I can explain the explosion of the number
    of files and space consumed by even multiples (2 or 3, at which point the NAS ran out of space).
    So, given my goal -- making sure there is a shared backup of all Documents files on the NAS -- is there a way I can set up File History on both the PC and laptop so the same file is represented once in the NAS:\File History ?????
    Finally, in case it's relevant, when I set up File History on the PC it asked me if I wanted to invite others in the HomeGroup to do so, but nothing resembling an 'invitation' ever appeared on the laptop.
    Many thanks to anyone who can address this.

    Hello RASSRQ,
    Do you mean that the file history in NAS need 2 or 3 times space as the file on PC?
    Please explain a bit about the sentence ‘When I use Windows Explorer to list contents of subfolders in Documents in the File History folder on the NAS, it shows the same files and sizes as it shows on the folders on the PC.  But when I use Windows Explorer
    to get the Properties of those folders, it shows exactly 2 or 3 (differs by folder) times as many files, and 2 or 3 times the total space taken on the PC.  There are many folders in the $OF folder. ’
    I can’t understand: What is $OF folder? Could you please share us a screenshot about $OF folder if you willing to?
    What folders in $OF folder?
    Based on my test, I follow the steps by referring to the following article and can’t find the similar issue.
