HT204407 How do I allow Find My Friends to access my contacts? (After I originally didn't allow it.)

How do I allow Find My Friends to access my contacts? (After I have denied access during setup.)

Just figured it out.  Goto Settings/Privacy/Contacts, slide the switch to On for Find Friends.  Worked like a charm!

    How do I get Find My Friends to say my friends names instead of email as it did before the new iOS?

    Go to Settings > Privacy > Contacts and change the setting for "Find Friends" to "ON". That should also allow Find Friends to now access your contacts and dispaly names and photos.

  • How do I get Find My Friends to use contacts after clicking no

    OK.  So My wife updated to the new version of Find My Friends.  On relaunch it asked if it could use her contacts.  She clicked no without thinking.
    Now Find My Fiends doesn't link back to the rest of her contacts.  She wants her pictures!  :-)   Anyone point me in the right direction?
    I've already removed the app and tried an reinstall and checked the basic preferences area.  But I may have missed it.
    Thoughts?

  • How do I use Find My Friends App on the computer?

    I have a windwos 7 and im trying to locate my brother's Ipad but I can't. Is there any way to look up my brothers Ipad from Icloud.com?

    No you cannot use "Find My Friends" on the Mac or PC, because there is no App or Web App for that. If your brother lost his iPad and enabled Find My iPhone, then he could use his Apple ID/iCloud account to locate his device by using "Find My iPhone".

  • How do you reactivate this phone in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

    How do you reactivate this phone Verizon Droid Maxx in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

    To switch it to another number, you need to activate another phone on the number you no longer need (or have Verizon cancel it for the deceased member).  Once that line is no longer active, you can activate the phone on another number - have Verizon CS at a store help you, or follow the steps on verizonwireless.com from the account of the person you do want it to be activated for.

  • 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.

  • How do you use Find a Friend

    I have downloaded the application and attempted to add friends, which the application acknowledges, but the friend never receives the invite.
    Is there something on our phones that we must turn on, what have we missed?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Go to www.iCloud.com and log in. Find my iPhone app must be installed on the phone and the phone must be on.

  • HT201493 How much data does find a friend use?

    I can I gauge how much data I am using for its app

    You would have to be running iOS 7 to do that.  If you were, you would go to Settings>Cellular, scroll to the bottom and tap "Reset Statistics", then use the app for a few days and to back to Settings>Cellular and it would show how much data that each app had used underneath the app name (in the "Use cellulare data for") section.

  • HT204407 when i sign into Find My Friends it says my password is wrong and something called iForgot keeps coming up ?

    i used the same password for iTunes and it works fine, what gives ??

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • If iCloud can back up my photos then how come i cannot find a way to access iCloud!

    i have recently deleted much loved photos of my ipad without thinking and they have disapeared off my camera roll, people on the apple support community say i can retrieve them by using the iCloud back up which is already enabled on my "new ipad" the real question is how do i even access iCloud and how am i meant to get my photos back!

    i have followed each step as you set out.
    settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, then it gives me the option to buy more storage, turn my iCloud on/off and to back up my ipad, as well as show my last backup on the 9/04/12  7:15 PM
    i have also plugged my device into my computer to activate iTunes, iCloud does not show up anywhere.
    the 3 recent back ups you proclaim to be available are not within reach.
    the steps i have currently followed by the link you just sent me was Settings> iCloud > Storage & backup > Manage storage > (under backups clicked on) Janes ipad. all it has shown me is what i want to back up, i really wanted to know how to actually recover lost data not save what i have left, can i still do that and how?

  • 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
