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.

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.

I have approximately 400 lives in reserve as gifts from friends in Candy Crush, but every time I try to access them, the screen turns blank. It will only let me use the 5 lives you are given every 30 minutes. Updates are up to date. Any suggestions?
Contact the app develed.

Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
thanksNot directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

My iMac keeps showing an install bar every time I reboot or restart since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. This never occurred in any of the previous OS. Is this new or a problem? I have an iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.7).

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.

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??

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 friend app problem
my find my friend app pops up when i hit the icon to open and use it then it closes after a couple seconds what is wrong with it?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You might start out by force quitting the "find my friends" app, then restarting it. If this doesn't help try deleting it and then reinstalling it. -
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) -
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).

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 appI 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!!
