HT204407 Find my Friends doesn't work after IOS 7 update

We use find my friends for our entire family to monitor kids locations, etc.  Since updating to IOS 7, one of the phones only shows it's location sporadically - otherwise says location not available.
Have verified location services are turned on, nothing is blocked, etc.
This phone was updated to IOS 7 over wifi (vs. through iTunes) - one other phone had some minor (unrelated) issues after updating over wifi that were resolved by doing a factory reset & updating from iTunes - wondering if that could be cause of the issue here as well.  Anyone else encountering issues with FMF?

Apple did update their help section on the app. I found this trying to figure out why my Find Friends wasn't working after the update to iOS 7. 
"Find My Friends is turned on in Background App Refresh (in Settings > General in iOS 7). When Background App Refresh is turned off, Find My Friends can’t use Location Services in the background. If Background App Refresh is turned on, but you quit Find My Friends via the multitasking interface, location updates won’t be sent to your friends until you open the app again."
Hopefully Apple will update this as it was not this way prior to iOS 7. Killing the app didn't prevent your location from updating in iOS 6 as I constantly killed the apps running in the background and never had this problem till the update. Hope this helps! Just make sure to not kill the app as of now and to tell everyone you follow not to kill their app and locations will continue to refresh. Otherwise it won't update locations till the app is opened again.

  • HT4623 My App Store doesn't work after iOS update

    I downloaded iOS 7 and now I cannot connect to my app store on my iPad does anyone have this situation as well?

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

    Why????

    After IOS update, you first have to use passcode.
    Passcode is needed when
    After restarting your iPhone 5s
    When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
    To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting

    Thank you again in advance.

    Hello Jashue67,
    Sorry to hear about all the trouble with the Apple TV.  It sounds like you have done a restore but need to pair your Apple TV remote at this point.  You can follow these steps to pair the remote:
    Or, you can press and hold the Menu and Next/Fast-forward buttons on the white Apple Remote, or hold the Menu and right buttons on the aluminum Apple Remote, for 6 seconds to pair.
    You can find the full article here:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Macbook pro doesn't work after EFI update.

    My new macbook pro doesn't work. I bought it yesterday and after I've installed EFI update (it installed without any errors) my mac
    "starts" with blank screen, no chime sound, with fans on (I guess - it's full speed). I've already tried those tricks with command+option+p+r and it neither work nor bring my mac to "life". Any ideas what this issue could be?

  • MacBook Air Safari doesn't work after ML update

    After I updated my MacBook Air 2012 to Mountain Lion yesterday, Safari stopped working. It says it's connected but Safari won't open any page.
    This is the third time it happens and I'm getting sick of it (SL, Lion OS and now ML)
    I had to reset my iMac (PRAM) to get it back working again, but is there another suggestion?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey I just foud this on this forum. It's worth a try :-)
    Also, are you able to ping the network. Go to Terminal and type the following:ping google.com
    you should get something like this:
    Arnolds-MacBook-Air:~ arnieaz$ ping google.com
    PING google.com (74.125.224.168): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 74.125.224.168: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=25.236 ms

    Re: WiFi Issues With MacBook Air 
    Jul 27, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to curvetr)
    I had similar issues to the ones that seem to be plaguing people in this thread. However, I found a solution that worked for me, and will hopefully help you and some others!
    System prefs > Network > Cog/gear button on the bottom left (sorry dont now what it's called) > Set service order.
    If you find that the service order puts bluetooth ahead of Wifi, try switching Wifi up to the top spot. It worked for me. Let me know how it goes, hopefully it works!
    Best of luck, Chris

  • HTML animation effects doesn't work after last update

    After last update my html animation that have different effects with different time: fade, translate, rotation, scale, ecc... plays but some effects doesn't play.
    Various animated png in html project appears immediatly without shows transitions or deformations.
    I have made html animation with Motion Composer that have time curve for each effect.. and all work fine with previous dps desktop tools...
    I don't use Hedge because folios with hedge animation is mooooooooore large than folios with motion composer animation.
    A single complex animation (10 .png(1024x768) with multipe effects fo each) made with composer produce a 1MB folio...
    The same animation made with Hedge produce more the 100MB folio.
    why new version of dps don't show my html anim correctly ? I hope adobe correct this proble. 

    We just released an update to the DPS tools that addresses the issues around HTML/iFrame and buttons in release 25. You can download the updated components by following the links at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_dps_install_en.

  • N73: restore doesn't work after firmware update

    Hello!
    I just made a firmware update to my N73 with NSU, and the procedure completed with no errors.
    Just before the update I made a backup with the application in the phone menu; the app wrote a backup.arc file in the MMC.
    After the update I tried to restore the backup via the same app.
    Here's the problem: the app seems to work (but the "restore" lasts just 1-2 seconds), the phone reboots, but nothing is restored.
    Googleing aroung I found a solution: buy the Noki 1.7 software, extract SMS, contacts and files from the backup.arc, and put everything back on the phone...
    Is there another solution that doesn't involve buying this 3rd party software?
    TIA

    The phone is working well...
    I have been searching in internet, and there'a a lot of people with the same problem. Everybody tells to use PC Suite to backup... if I only knew before.
