I don't recognize a device in share my location from in find my friends

in "Share my Locationi from" in Find my Friends, there is a device listed I dont recognize, called Homie. I delete it but it just returns a few seconds later. how do I find out what device this is and delete it permanently if I so choose?

A wireless printer will show up as well, as will the AirPort Express if you are using it for AirPlay or to extend the network.
Sometimes iOS devices will show up with their device name......alans iphone, or alans iPad....for example. At other times the wireless MAC address will show up....not the device name. This is a bug.
Count the number of wireless clients that you see
If you see more wireless clients than you have wireless devices, you may have an unwanted guest on your network
My wireless is setup to not broadcast and with WPA2
There any number of free utilities on the Internet that will display your network in about 2 seconds, so trying to "hide" the network will only keep the most casual of users from seeing your network.
True, it might keep a few honest neighbors from seeing your network, but I doubt that they are guys that you need to worry about. That van....a few houses down the street....been there a few hours....you might have to worry about.

Share my Location iOS8 or Find my Friends?

What is the relationship between 'Find my Friends' and 'Share my Location' in iMessage?
Firstly. If I 'Share my location indefinatey' in an iMessage, does this sharing somehow continue after I delete the iMessage post used to initiate the share??
Is 'share my location' a replacement for 'find my friends'?
Are they one and the same now?? I'm confused..

Find My Friends is a Third-Party App that requires you to specifically approve whomever your "Friends" are. Once you and they Approve within the App you can click on the App at any time and if your Friend is within WiFi (or Cellular Data if selected) you will see where they (i.e., their iPhone) are located at that point in time, or the last time they where connected.
The iMessage Share My Location is a Feature within the standard Messages App

My IPAD is switched on but I cannot slide the open device. There is a Cannot access find my friends app in the middle but that doesnt respond either.

Share my location to an other mobile phone. N8, GP...

Well well, this is and old story, been asked often but mr. Nokia has not seen the light yet.
Why can't I share my location from my N8, to friend of mine with Nokia N8, and then friend of mine can simple choose my location, and pick either walk or drive to my location ?
With this fine gps, this fine maps, guys common, you must be able to fix this ! !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There is an application available free on the Ovi store that enables you to send a text message with your location. Search for GPSInfoQt. There is also another post on this topic.
History: Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82

Share location from; lists phone name (this device) and repeats same phone 3X

Iphone 5; 1.3GHz; 16GB; 12.7GB free;
iOS 8.1.2
Screen shot below best reflects my inquiry. Have noted intermittent problems with Siri (and other apps) when using location services. In checking Privacy> Location Sevices>Share my location>From this device, i find repeated phone name. I know these can be slided over to elect delete but not certain what I am deleting? What are the repeated names associated to? What implications could result if duplicates are deleted?

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

Can't download Find My Friends on devices running iOS 6 or 7

I can no longer download Find My Friends on my kids iPhone 4(iOS 7) and 3gs(iOS 6) as the app store now says it is only for iOS 8 and up.
I used to have one main iCloud account that I used on all my families devices to easily track them. We have had 3 iPhones stolen so it was an issue to be able to locate them quickly and easily. Now that I have set up a family, the main iCloud account on each device is now the individual family members iCloud account. I figured Find My Friends would do for tracking lost and stolen devices, but I can not download the app onto the iPhone 4 and 3gs.
Am I missing something? I have Find My iPhone turned on both devices. The family member shows up in my list of family members on my iPhone 4s running iOS 8 in Find My Friends, but their location is not available. So I am assuming I have to share their location from Find My Friends on their device. I have not tried logging in as them from my device and sharing their location then logging back into my account, but quite frankly I don't have the time to mess with it. Which is why I have an iPhone in the first place...
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have the same issue. I restored an iPhone 4 for my 16 year old niece. Only stipulation was she use Find My Friends. While I was getting the apps for the phone I was unable to download one of the most important features. It would be great if they allowed 2 versions or incorporated support for iOS 7.1.2. I'm sure I'm not the only one who decided to give up the $200 trade in offers to keep a perfectly good phone (looks new still from case use) in the family.

HT204407 Multiple Devices Listed under ME in Find My Friends

In the newly upgraded Find My Friends, when I press on ME, the setting for SHARE MY LOCATION FROM shows This Device and the older replaced device. How do I get rid of the old device from the list?

You/re welcome.
Happy to help.

Opening Blend, I'm met with TWO device choices my Z10 and another that I don't recognize

Actually, when I first open Bland on Samsung Tab S, I see my Z10. I enter the Password. It goes through some process and then I am met with TWO device, the Z10 and Device-xxxx where I guess XXXX is some partial PIN number but I don't recognize it. So I then have to reselect the Z10 and again enter its password. Basically logging in TWICE. Somewhat irritating but I'm more curious what's the other device and how do I eliminate it. Going to BBID site I don't see any place to specify devices associated with my BBID. And it is not the partial PIN of either of my Playbooks (heaven forbid Blend from supporting BB's own devices).

So, I gather it is some residual device that BBID had/had associated but I don't know where to go to remove it from the pool.
The current Z10 replaced a defective one about a year ago and I don't recall its PIN number.
Where does BBID store the devices that share it?
I will charge the 9930 and see what its pin is.
I think that is likely it.
ON a PC, login to www.bbid.com and see if that device is still listed and you can remove it there.

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch. Comp thinks it is a camera. iTunes won't bring up devices at all. I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch. Comp thinks it is a camera or something. iTunes won't bring up devices at all. I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all. I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all. Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod. Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window. In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera. In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed. There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable. And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!! You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
Thank you.
Evie

After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
(here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple. Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

iTunes and my Mac don't recognize my iPod Nano (6th generation) under devices? I have tried rebooting/resetting and reinstalling iTunes already. I have also checked the ports and cables, what can be done?

Try here.

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:

Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

TS3694 Hi, just tried to do the latest update for my iPhone. Unfortunately, all I have now is a screen telling me to connect to iTunes. I've done that but iTunes won't recognize my device. Can you advise me on what I should do to fix the problem?

Hi, any suggestions as to how I can fix the problem on my iPhone?

Hello, ClareOlys.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first make sure all updates have been processed for the computer and iTunes. You may need to place the device in recovery mode before iTunes will recognize the device. Here is the article that explains that process.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If the device is still not recognized by iTunes, see the steps in the two articles below.

In iOS 8, how can I share my photo stream AND assign different names to each of our devices in Find My Friends?

I'm using the iPhone 5c, and iPad mini, and my wife has a 5c, too. We used to use my iCloud account as the main account on everything, so we could share our photos as we took them. But now in iOS 8, Find My Friends is moved to iCloud. I can't add my wife to Find My Friends, because it lists me on all of the devices. How can I go back to taking a photo and it showing up on her device while allowing us to find each other?

I chatted with Apple tech support. They said [add rolling eyes here] that this is easily solved with the new Family Sharing feature. In other words, I sign in on my phone, my wife signs in on hers, and we share our photos in the Family folder. Of course, no photos are automatically shared in the Family folder. It's just a shared folder, something anybody could have created in iOS 7. I would still have to drag all of my photos and my wife would have to drag all of her photos to the folder in order to share them. Also, I notice that app updates on her phone are strangely being downloaded under her account, so when we make a change, it says the downloaded app will have to be deleted, because it was not downloaded through my account. This Family Sharing thing is a joke. I told the tech support lady that this didn't feel like much of a "feature" at all. She suggested that I provide feedback if I didn't like it, which I did.
So there is no way to do what I'm wanting to do under iOS 8 at the moment. I love Apple products, but wow, iCloud is a disaster at the moment. Just look at all of the people who upgraded to iOS 8 and upgraded to iCloud Drive without understanding the implications. Now they're getting an error message that they need to download Yosemite in order to access their documents, even though Yosemite isn't available to the public yet. Not well planned. In the meantime, we just don't share our photos in exchange for finding each other for lunch.
