HT5622 Find Friends on two iphones

My wife and I each have iphones. We'd like to each share apps/music/etc on my apple account. Can we each have a unique Find Friends without having to have her get her own iphone account and lose being able to share apps?

Find my friends requires an Apple ID to sign into the program.
This is required just for the app and not the entire phone.
Almost the same as find my iphone... any Apple ID can be entered.

Find Friends Location on iPhone not working after reset

My grandson recently reset his iPhone 6 for reasons related to certain music not syncing properly with iTunes. As a result of the reset, his location is labeled "not available" in the Find Friends app when others are trying to find him. He can still see his friends locations. They just can't see him (his phone). Interestingly, in his Find My Friends app, under Me, it shows "location services off". But under Settings, Privacy, Location Services, it shows "On" and Find Friends app is showing "While Using". His iCloud account is also showing Share My Location as "On" From his iPhone ("This Device").
Any help as to what could be causing this would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Templin

We were able to fix the issue by doing the following:
In Settings select Privacy, Location Services and scroll down to the bottom and select System Services. While everything was green (switched on), we turned Share My Location off and then back on. His location is now available to his friends (and parents). I have no idea why this worked to fix the issue, but it did.

Old invite message on Find Friends app is visible to everyone I invite

When I first setup Find Friends on my iPhone i initially invited a good friend of mine with the message "I want to stalk you". This was a funny joke between ourselves and the request was accepted. I then asked a friend to request to follow me so that they could see where I am during a marathon. They sent the request and I accepted, they then asked why is said "I want to stalk you" on my details when I had accepted the request. It now seems to come up automatically when some requests the ability to follow me but then in turn allows me to view them.
Has anyone else had this problem? I can't talk it through in detail as it all happened on my friends phone. I just don't want everyone who I share my location with to see this message. I've looked through all the menus and can't find any profile data that contains this message. I've even tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.
Help please!

Suggest you try contacting the app developer since your using a third party app and see if they can resolve your issue.

Apple maps and Find Friends show no map data

Hi,
I have recently lost all my map data from Apple Maps, and find friends on my iphone. All satellite images are still there, just no maps! However on my ipad it all works. Both are on the same icloud account.
Any suggestions.
I have an iphone 4S running iOS 6.0., and an ipad3 running iOS 6.0

Double tap Home button and delete Maps from multitask-bar.
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

Updated Find Friends. Now two copies on iPhone, both grayed out.

I just got a new 5s. I launched Find Friends, but was told I had to update it. So I went to the app store and did so. Now there are two FF icons on two separate iPhone pages, both grayed or dimmed out so I can't launch the app from there. But if I go to the App Store, there is an Open button now instead of an Update button. I can click this and the app open and works fine. It looks like the old version to me, but perhaps there's not much difference? Also, I can use the switcher (double click home button) to get the running app.
When I plug into iTunes, one icon on iTunes's Apps page for FF looks normal (and like the old one), but the other one is gray and has a generic icon. Perhaps I should delete both from iTunes and re-update?

Just an update: Turned on my iPhone 5 this morning and PRESTO! The feature is back. I'm not aware of any settings that changed. Maybe the feature just disappears sometimes due to changes on Apple's end? (I've noticed Siri will sometimes be grayed out as well).

How to set up two iPhones on same account in Find Friends

I have tried to add a second iPhone5 to Find Friends, each time it tell me I can't send a request to myself.

Your music tracks and other media are associated with your account. If you have two phones associated with one account it thinks you want the media on both phones.
If this second phone really isn't for you, then create another account for this other person on your computer and run iTunes on that account.

There are two iPhones associated with my one Apple ID. Will I be able to "find my other phone?"

i have two iphones on my Apple iTunes account. I would like to use the App "Find My Friends" to locate each phone but it seems it works only from the Apple ID not the phone number.
In order to enjoy many of the features sometimes it seems Apple wants everyone to have their own account. Pay for their applications twice. etc. I think this is terrible.
Does anyone know how I can set up my iphones so I can use Find My Friend?
Thanks

Same issue...I think I found it though, but have not tested with my other devices yet. You do it with email addresses though, not phone numbers. You can associate additional email addresses with your primary apple id. For example, my email address is the primary apple id, but my wife and kids all have email addresses associated with this account. That is how we can FaceTime and iMessage each other. In the Find Friends app, touch "Me" at the bottom, then "Account" at the top. Once you are signed in with your primary apple id, you can select one of the other email addresses associated with your account by touching "Send As." Again, I won't be able to test it until I get home, but that is how it should work.

Setting Find iPhone for one account and find Friends for another

Hi
Just updated one iPhone 5 to 8.1.1. Previously I had find my iPhone for one .me account (I keep all the family devices under this .me account).
For the Find Friends app I had used a second .me account so I could locate the phone.
I can't recall how I configured this previously. It seems settings wants to keep me locked on one account, not two.
Thanks

If you want to keep everything in sync, you need to set up your mail using IMAP. I'm not familiar with Sky as to whether they offer an IMAP option or its just pop, you'll have to check with them. If they don't offer an IMAP option, you can get a gmail account, set that up as IMAP and then forward your Sky emails to your gmail account.

To wjosten-

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that. I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones. You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
Wish I could be more help.

HT1391 A friend lost her iphone 4S, but she didnt download find phone, which she thought find phone was already in iphone 4S, during purchased. Now I can't help her to track iPhone & nobody Apple store in Msia, was able to help us.

Dear Apple Customer Support,
Last year A friend purchase a iPhone 4S - 32GB White.
When she purchase iPhone 4S, didnt realised she need to download Find Phone, has she thought it was already in iPhone 4S, system. I approved lots Apple Store in Malaysia, non could help me and all said the same, if you don't download Find Phone, there's no way you can trace it back. No doubt what they all had said is not wrong....but my heart said, am sure there's always a way to track or trace it back even without the Find Phone Apps. Knowing myself don't have such powerful system to find the phone back. Every Poison there's Anti-Dos for it. I know you have the power and system to track & trace the phone back by Apple. If Apple can build such powerful smart phone am sure there's always a way for you there to trace or track it. I had seem movies which even show but not many able to see the hidden message in movie or etc. All my wish was to least Delete or JAM the system by using the serial number or code which you produce in every iPhone 4S or etc. Least the person who took it, would not able to used it at all even if they wannt jail break it or does anything to iPhone 4S. Least they could do is either throw it away or return to Apple Store in individual country. I know what am asking might be impossible to asked, but its the impossible which its not impossible.
1st: Why build a system which so smart with all serial no and codes, but the "Find Phone" its not one of the Apps for iPhone?
2nd: Why must customer need to download "Find Phone" Apps and the rest of the Apple Apps in inside the Phone...? Doesn't make sense....
3rd: In any movie, you watched they will break the phone or throw it away and so they are not able to trace the person but the phone still can be trace or track...unless the person break the chips or put into Fire to destroy it completely, then YES, i believe it can't be trace or track.
Please kindly in your power to help or advice or bring this up to Apple Team Mind before all perfection to make iPhone....Metta
Sincerely,
GQ

I set up "Find My Iphone App" using the same apple id and password on two iphones. Now the app only finds the phone that I did the setup on first. Do I need a different apple id and password on each phone for the app to run correctly?

I setup two iphones on "Find My Iphone App" Using the same apple id on each phone. Now the app finds only the phone I setup first. Do I need to use two different apple ids? If your answer is yes then how do I errase the setup in the second phone and assign a new id?

As TJBUSMC1973 states, and as I said earlier, the Find My iPhone app has nothing to do with your use of Find My iPhone. The app is just used if necessary to locate another iOS device from that particular iOS device. To see if both of your devices are being located in Find My iPhone, log into www.icloud.com and select Find My iPhone. Both of the devices should appear. If they do not, then go into whichever of the devices does not appear and make sure that Find My iPhone is activated. It has to be activated through iCloud, and for both to show on the same map, they both have to have the same iCloud ID.

I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's. Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

My friend has two ipods. Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other. He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

We have two iphones and only one ipad. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones, which have separate apple ids. How do we get our ipad to accept this?

We have two iphones and only one ipad - no mac. We want to be able to use "find my iphone" for both phones. How do we get the ipad to accept two iphone accounts? icloud is enabled on all three devices.

Also, be aware of the following:
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod/iPhone should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

HT201493 My Wife and I share the same email address but each has an IPhone. We would like to have both of us individually on find friends but cannot do it via the email route. how is it done?

My wife and I share the same email address but have separate IPhones. We would like to have each phone individually on "find friends" but cannot do it via email route. How is it done?

make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address
