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 itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

    How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

    I think the Sidebar preview image is gone. But found that when I'm playing music either from the entire library or a playlist you can click the tiny thumbnail at the top to open a Artwork based player that is scalable. Reduce (minimize) the main Itunes window and the player is actually Nice.  Hope that helps.

  • How do I get songs downloaded from CD's on an older version of iTunes from my phone to the new version of iTunes to the new version of iTunes downloaded on a new computer? Thank you for any help!

    I have authorized my new computer and all the songs that I have purchased through iTunes have transferred to my new iTunes version, as have the apps., only the songs from CD's have not transferred. I am a pretty new user to the iPhone and iTunes and do not want to lose the music that I transferred from CD's but do need to update my phone.
    Does authorizing my new computer allow the CD songs to transfer into my music list with the purchased songs if I continue to update and sync my phone?
    Any advice or assistance is greatly appreciated.

    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    You need to copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to your new one.

  • How do I get my iPad to receive messages using my iPhone number? I could do it before the update.

    I have recently updated my iPad mini and iPhone 4S to 7.0.4.  Since then I have not been receiving or seeing messages I have received or sent. If I was to dend a message using my phone then I could see it on my iPad as an example. But I cannot now. Any ways to rectify this? 

    You are probably going to have to sign out of/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start all over again and enable messages on the phone first so that the number is accessible again to use on the iPad in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. You need to be able to select your phone number in there.
    This kb article explains it in detail.

  • How do I retrieve all of my music, videos, apps, and pictures that were lost after I updated to the new iOs 5 thing

    tech support sent me here and I need to figure this out

    Some of those are part of the backup, for example photos, app data and settings and much more:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    If you still have the backup from the time before you updated, use it to restore from.
    Download the apps again for free before you start, apps are not part of the backup data made by iTunes.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Those apps should also be part of your iTunes library on the computer you usually sync to.

  • How can i get find my iphone or find my friends on a ipod 4th gen .

    How can i get find my friends or find my iphone on a ipod 4th gen as the apps now need ios7 and the ipod wont update to this , i used to have it on my old iphone before ios7 ?

    There is no way of doing that from a 4G iPod if you did not install the app before it was updated to be only compatible with iOS 7.
    Thus, you will have to use a computer and in a browser go to icloud.com>FIndMyiPhone.

  • How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?

    I have a seagte back up plus. I pulled my hard drive out without ejecting it and now finder dosn't find it but I see it in disk utility (although I cant repair permissions) How do I get finder to recognize my hard drive after pulling my hard drive out without eject...? Is my hard drive dead? I see it in disk utility... Can I get my info back?
    Thank you so much for any help

    In Disk Utility you need to see a volume or partition in addition to the drive.
    If all you see is the drive, then when you ejected it you proably corrupted the volume or partition on the drive.
    If that is true then your chances of getting anything back are slim at best.
    About the only thing I know that might work not is to send the disk out to a service for recovery. This is going to cost like $$$$.
    Is the data worth that much?

  • How do I get Finder to act like Explorer

    Hi there,
    I converted to Mac about 3 years ago and I have had this "thing" that frustrates me no end and I have done nothing about it.
    How can I get Finder to show me the Folder (Collapsed / Closed) and sorted by Folder / FileName alphabetically i.e. like Windows Explorer.
    I am constantly working in different folders and it is frustrating that we I go to File Open in a application that I have to work out where I am, then drill up and then back down in to the folder I want to be in.
    I know this is probably a basic OS operational question and there are probably shortcuts keys to go back to your home folder etc.
    Please help me with my sanity! and no I don't want to go back to Windows :-)
    Thanks
    Tony

    Open two windows.
    Use List view or Column view
    For sorting / arranging, there are two options on the same menu/button.
    - The first option is arrangement, which groups items.
    - The second is sorting, which is accessed by holding down the option key.
    - With arrangement set to none, you can sort by clicking on the column headers in List view.
    Show the sidebar.
    - put default starting points there, like Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc.
    - you can start from those to get most anywhere quickly
    Know the Path? Type cmd-shift-g and type the path (~/) starts in your home folder.
    Turn on spring loaded folders in Finder Preferences. When you drag something onto a folder in the finder, it will spring open and you can dig down that way.
    Command-double-click on a folder will open it in a new window.
    The Finder Go menu commands work in the Open File dialogs.
    Dragging an image from iPhoto or a music file from iTunes onto the open file dialog will take you to the file location in the Finder (useful for attaching images to emails, etc.).
    I understand how you feel. I can't figure out Explorer.

    how can i get FIND button and hotmail button to the toolbar, and how do i update firefox i dont want to update automatically

    Thanx 4 your "you're welcome" cor-el. It's now 4p.m. E.S.T. in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on Thu. 29/9/2011 and my page tells me u sent this message 21Hrs. ago. To elaborate a bit on my prev. message: I soon realized that after R clicking in the 'Downloads' screen and then on the 2nd. in the drop down menu I could click and drag and drop the icon of the wanted download into the open file or memory device as required. I would take up the offer I see in this e-mail to participate in helping like you and others do but I won't as I feel I'm not experienced enough yet. Nevertheless u keep up the good work. Yours, james1.51.
    P.S. I used Google Chrome for this not Mozilla but it's still me!

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

  • I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display.  We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one.  How do I get past this?

    I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display.  We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one.  How do I get past this?

    You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
    Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.
