HT204407 Find My Friends shows all of south Brooklyn as Long Island.

Is there anyway to report Find My Friends bugs?
All of south Brooklyn shows as Long Island.

I found this post after losing secondary iCloud account support for multiple device "Find my iPhone." We used a secondary iCloud account to locate the entire family's iDevices in one place, and Apple removed that functionality in iOS7. Someone suggested using Find my Friends, which seems like a reasonable alternative, but I'm having hte same problem you describe. Before iOS7, were you able to locate devices that were not open to the app? If so, I hope Apple decides to fix this.

HT204407 Find my friends shows completely wrong adress every time I go to a specific place

Every time the phone goes to a certain adress it actuall shows it at an adress 2.4 hours away, every time but never has any other problem. Phone will be in a spot in eustis florida and the find my friends app always says it's on homer road in Jacksonville Florida which is almost 3 hours away.

Find my Friends uses Apples own map data. The same data as the Apple Maps app uses.

Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

Finder dose not show all files

finder dose not show all files and is not open.
nothing is shown on the desktop.
how is it fixed?

Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

4) Define a new account & see if the problem occurs on that account.

Find my friends showed my location moving around all night, yet I was at home asleep with my phone next to me. Has my phone been hacked?

Even though I had my phone with me and was home asleep, my friend using the find my friends app thought I was moving all over town all night, as it showed that on the app. Has my phone been hacked?

I frequently use Find My Friends to make sure my kids get someplace safe. This AM my wife wakes up to an alert that says I left a bar 15 miles away from home at 1AM. I was laying beside her the entire night and hadn't left the house since 8PM.
My phone never left my possession. Does anyone have a clue how this could have occurred??
Does anyone else have access to your Apple ID & password?

Finder doesn't show all files

When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).
Easyfind is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707
Find File is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10906315
I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.

Finder does not show all files from NAS

Hi there
I have a NAS attached to my mini where music, ... is stored. I can access it from both the mac as well as a PC.
for some reason the mac finder does not display all the files in the directory even though the files are there (i can see and open them when accessing the NAS through the PC). at the moment I only see this happen in a folder that contains video (mpg) files and some event must have triggered this strange behaviour because I could play the file sometime ago without problem.
also, some of the files are shown as a folder than a file in the finder. E.g. a clip called last_holiday.mpg would show as a folder (when you open it it is empty) rather than a video file.
I have tried to re-mount the share, but this has no effect.
Is this a bug or is there some wrong setting?
thanks for any help,
Chris

I have this same problem with mounted DAV server folders. I can see the files via Windows and other DAV clients -- just not via Finder. Moreover, it does not apply to all files: some of them do show up. And, it does not happen all of the time: just occasionally.

Mac OS 10.9.2 Finder isn't showing all files

Need help. Recently my finder stopped showing all the files in a folder. I know this because I can navigate to the folder via terminal and I see different files. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. Also for a little more detail. I'm using vagrant virtual box to ssh into a linux environment. The folder that I'm having trouble with is a folder being create via Rake, which I'm using as a build tool. Anyone have any troubles like this? How can this be fixed?

When I click "place signature" I only have one option.
It asks me "How would you like to create your signature?
The only option available to me is "use a certificate- When I attempt to use another option there are some but they are not available to me."use an image" draw my signature, or type my signature
are not available.
For that reason I went to preferences to see what I could do to change the settings- and all I could do was manage the certificate signature- so that it looks better than it did.
As an aside- after doing that- the document went on and the person couldn't sign because it had an "open password" If you also know about that- that would be great.
This is the only reason I purchased the Adobe XI so I could draw my signature or type it and have it appear as a signature.

HT204407 Find My Friends keeps crashing on startup - tried closing, resetting phone- everything but deleting. Suggestions?

Find My Friends keeps crashing on startup. I've tried closing, the double click on the Home & closing, restarting phone & restating phone. Can't log on to get to settings to troubleshoot. Any suggestions besides Delete? I've got 5 that I follow, and don't want to bother them with re-accepting to follow.

I had the same issue. I deleted the app and reinstalled. It solved the crashing and all my existing friends were still connected to my account (I did not have to re-invite them).

My finder is not showing all my files

i recently purchased my macbook pro right before christmas and have been downloading alot of stuff on to it. When i open finder it only shows 4 files though. even when i search nothing comes up. it acts like the files arnt there at all and this is becomming a prolem. this is my first time using apple so it could be a stupid mistake but all help is appreciated! thanks!

Alright that's much better! Right, now what you are using is All My Files which in my opinion is the most ridiculous thing Apple has done in OS X for a while. It is very confusing and I dont use it. What you should do is go to Finder Menu > Preferences and uncheck All My Files in the Sidebar tab. Then open a new Finder window and press Shift-Command-H. This will take you to your home folder which will allow you to go through your folders etc. Try also pressing Command-3 as I find this is the easiest way to get around Finder.
Minecraft stores it's files in the Library folder in your home folder which is hidden by default to prevent accidental changes. You temporarily view it by going to Finder and clicking the "Go" menu, then hold shift to see Library appear. Click that. Then navigate to the Application Suport folder then to the minecraft folder. This is where all the Minecraft stuff is. If you need any more help please reply!
Hope this helps,

PS. I will not be available until after 9pm AEST and if not tomorrow as I have to go to work... Sorry!

Why does 'Find My Friends' show arrival time based on PCT rather than GMT

Both my iPhone is set on GMT (British Summer Time) my Macbook Pro is set as GMT (British Summer Time) and the location I have arrived at is in the UK. Yet the 'Find My Friends' alert shows I arrived several hours before I did in fact the same time that it would have been on the West Coast of America.

I have never gotten this to even send me 1 email. Sorry for the useless comment but I'd like to get notified on updates for this one.

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.

HT204407 Find my friends notify me has not worked since the ios7 update. Help

Ever since the update to ios7y find my friends app never notifies me when one of my contacts arrives or leaves
I've reinstalled it. I've kept it running in the background etc
Not liking the new update at all. But would like up know how to fix the notify function on this app

I finally got this to work. Here's my procedure (and it's not ideal).
On all phones, background run must be ON for FMF.
On my phone:
Delete app
Reboot phone
On my wife's phone (yeah, this is why it's not ideal):
Delete app
Reboot phone
Reinstall app on both phones
Sign in on both.
Setup geofence via Notify Me when (wife) leaves home on my phone
Setup geofence via Notify Me when (husband) leaves home on her phone
Et voila.
Notifications started working again.
So, it's not ideal because it requires your target to delete, reboot and reinstall/signin for this fix to work. That said, if you're using it to track your kids when they're out on dates or whatever, you should have access to use this workaround.
Hope this helps!!

HT204407 Find My Friends app

Find my Friends app shows my location services as off. Even though I said yes when it asked to use it. How do I turn it on?

This doesn't help. When I follow the path above, for Find my Friends it shows it as working while using. But when I am in the app, at the bottom where it has Me listed- it says Location Services off in red letters. When I push on that, it takes me to a screen that has a Share My Location option that is off. It is greyed out so that I can not change it.

HT204407 Find My Friend Label unaccessable

The FMF app shows the work location of my wife, but it does not allow me to assign a label to that location. The "Label" button is grayed out. Can anyone solve this riddle?

You do realize that Find My Friends is not a 3rd party app. The original poster is exactly where he needs to be for support.
In any case, the actual answer to the question is that labeling will be unavailable whenever the location accuracy is not high enough. (Poor cell or GPS reception on the located device)

HT204407 Find My Friends shows all of south Brooklyn as Long Island.
