How to link follower to contact in Find My Friends?

In Find My Friends, one of my followers shows up as an e-mail address without linking to a contact. The 'Add to existing contact' and 'Create contact' buttons are missing. The weird part, is under 'Contact Info', it shows 'main 2', 'other [email protected]'. I have a contact with [email protected] I even added 2 as an email address for that contact with no luck.

Also, I checked that Find My Friends has access to contact data under Settings > Privacy > Contacts

HT201493 How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

HT1338 How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

You should have an option to create groups in the File menu. To add contacts to this group, simply drag and drop them to it (switch to Groups display, to view all your groups).
Otherwise, you may create "smart groups", based on some criteria you define (File menu too).
Hope this helps.

All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available".

All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available."Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe because of the inclimate weather?

This was the only thing that actually worked. I have 3 iPhones, and 3 iPods on my account. All of the devices could see and use our contacts and calendars, except mine all of a sudden. They were there yesterday, and today I went to use my contacts, and poof, gone@!
My settings had been changed somehow, so that my cloud sync was off for calendars, notes, and contacts. I never did this, and my phone is password locked, so my kids couldnt have. I went and turned them all back on, but they wouldnt show any synced data, even though I was plugged in and on my home wifi.
I tried this trick, but starting a new iMessage, add a contact, go and add/edit a contact, and suddenly I could see all the data. All my contacts were there to choose from to edit an existing contact. I edited something simple, and then saved it, backed out, checked my contacts data and calendars, and they magically appeared again.
This seems to be a problem in iOS as the data was apparently there, but not showing. Now I am good. Thanks a ton for the tip!!!!

How do i get iMessage Contacts Other than my friends

If you friends have IOS 5 on their phones and they have a data connection then it will use iMessage.

I have iPhone and iPad with the same apple ID. How to share both my devices for Find My Friends ?

Hi -
I have an iPhone and an iPad using the same apple ID. I'm unable to share location from both the devices at the same time for "Find My Friends". I am only able to pick one device. Any help to share both the devices is greatly appreciated.

Find my friends is designed to locate DIFFERENT Apple ID's. So if you want to use FMF for this purpose, you would need to create a different apple ID for one of your devices.
OR, you could use the Find My iPhone App. Which will display ALL of your devices.

You likely need to wait for Apple to implement the iOS features in OS X. They are very much separate, but getting closer.

HT201493 How do you change the settings for find my friends to use my contacts. When I signed in I selected do not allow iPhone to use my contacts and now all the names are in e mail format.

When I opened the app I selected do not allow, to use my contacts, but now realise I should have allowed it. I have uninstalled and reloaded it, but it will not ask me to use my contacts again. Any ideas as now I see e mail names and not just the persons name.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

I ahve two phones on one apple ID, how can i track them both using find my friend?

I have an iphone 5 (work phone) and a 4 (home cell) both using the same iCloud and apple log-in. Only my iphone 5 shows up on find my freinds app and when i try to invite the "4" i get an error that you cannot invite yourself (it previously showed up before i got the 5).... I use my 4 for running etc and would like my wife and freinds to be able to track me if i get in trouble or am late for dinner

You're most likely gonna need another verified email address associated with your Apple ID to make this work. You'd then use that email address on the iPhone 4.

How do I sync Google Contacts with my Mac Address Book?

Greetings all,
I use Google Contacts to store and manage all of my contacts; this way they are always the same on my iPhone and iPad. I would like to have them synchronized with my Address Book on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to do this?
I did setup the Goggle sync in the Address Book preferences, however nothing happened. Meaning, no sync occurred...
Thank you,
Bob Mixon

Find My Friend request opens the App Store even though I have the app installed.

I have the App Find My Friends installed on my iPhone.
I sent my boyfriend a request which he accepted and I can now follow him and this works perfectly.
The issue came when he sent me a request in return.
I got the request in my emails. Opened it up and clicked the link, but instead of opening Find My Friends it opened the App Store but once open the App store tells me the app is "Installed"
I've deleted and reinstalled the App and also checked that it was downloaded on my Apple ID rather than his. But for some reason my phone thinks I don't have the App installed.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Ask him to send another request to you, but this time open the find my friends app and the request should be in the request box.

Hi
I used to be able to see the location of my second iPhone using Find My Friends.
It was listed under the user of my wife's .me account email, and I was able to see the phone under my .mac account.
How can I correct the settings in Find My Friends so I can see my other iphone?

Find My Friends does not send notifications - iOS8

The Find My Friends iOS8 app is not sending the requested notifications when "Notify Me" is being used to alert arrival at/departure from a location. All following/sharing location settings are confirmed amongst users (Find My Phone works, as does location in Find My Friends).
"Notify Me" will save the request, and appear highlighted in the main screen, and will stay that way as long as the alert conditions have not been met. However "Notify Me" will clear to default, inactive state after the requested arrival/departure has happened, without having sent the nofitication.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Find my Friends requests not arriving

Hi
I have a friend who has been trying all day to send me a follow request and seems to be failing. I am not getting the requests in the app, and they are not diverting to email (see ODD STUFF note below).
I've spent a while going through all the settings on the app and in notifications and everything is fine. I've had requests from her, and others before and they are fine. She had to delete her app and start again. She thought there was a bug her end. But it seems like a Cloud issue, read on...
ODD STUFF
I have seen a correlation between her sending a request and me getting an email from apple (with her name as the reply to) saying: "Get set up and start enjoying iCloud today"
I think there is obviously a bug as she was able to get the invite through a few days ago to my iPad, but now it's conked out entirely. It seems the requests are NOT getting through to the INVITATION tab in the FmFs app, so they are diverting to email, but it's going wrong somewhere and apple do not seem to be interpreting the email correctly, or the email version of the accept invitation has corrupt formatting.
Definitely needs some attention.

Find My Friends Notifications (iOS8)

I've been getting strange results using Find My Friends notifications between our two iPhone 6s. Today for example my phone finds my wife's phone centered where she is currently, but the location bubble is large and when I tap "notify me" I get no locations listed under "Choose location..." If I tap on "Choose locations..." the map zooms to my location, which obviously isn't what I wanted. The only other option I am offered is "cancel" at the top of the screen. The "done" option is dimmed out. At other times the notifications work perfectly. I can't detect a pattern or find any way to make this work consistently. Yes, I have visited the official troubleshooting page, but it offers no advice that addresses this problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
