Location not available Find Friend error

Find Friend gives an error: "location not available" despite all efforts t fix it.
I deleated Find Friend and reloaded it.
I reset the iphone 5 and set it up as a new phone.
Both iphones 5 work for other FF entries.
What is wrong????
Any help would be appreciated.

Who's location is not available? If you are opening FF and it is showing a friend's location is not available, it would not be a problem for you?

Find Friends app keeps saying "location not available" on iOS7?

After I updated my 4S to iOS 7, Find Friends will not actually find the person, it just pops up with "location not availble" everytime. I have tried restoring the phone, logging out then back in, and deleting the app then redownloading it and nothing has helped. The person I am trying to find says everything is working well on their end. Help!

My family has 5 iphone 5s's. Two of my kids and myself just upgraded from iOS6 to iOS7. Now, on my Find Friends app, their locations only say Location Not Available. However my wife and and my other child, still on iOS6, their locations immediately appear.
In talking with my two kids that are on iOS7, I have 100% confirmed that THE FIND FRIENDS APP MUST BE OPEN in order for their location to be found. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. Furthermore, my kids will not leave the Find Friends app open because it drains their batteries at an extremely fast rate. This is a new issue for iOS7.
By confirm I mean this. On a hunch I called them when their location said not available, and confirmed that their Find Friends app was closed. I asked them to launch their Find Friends app on their phones. I then checked my Find Friends, and suddenly their locations were visible. I then had them close their Find Friend app, and sure enough, my Find Friends immediately showed their location as Not Available.
THIS BEHAVIOR WAS NEVER PRESENT IN iOS6. NEVER!. I have also 100% confirmed that my wife's phone, beside me as as I type this, has all apps closed, including Find Friends. However her location immediately appears in my Find Friends list.
I certainly hope that Apple will fix this immediately. I bought the five iPhone 5s's over a year ago, almost exclusively because of the Find Friends app, so I could keep track of my kids. Never once did we have trouble with Find Friends. And the app did not consume much battery, even when it was open.

HT204407 "Location Not Available" label for one friend and they have the same result for finding me. The issue has not been resolved from reading this article.

I always get 'Location Not Available' for one of my contacts in the Find My Friends app. This same friend get's the same message when trying to find me. The app and the iOS software on both iPhones is up to date, the dates and time on both iPhones are correct and both iPhones are in the UK where the Find my Friends service works fine.
There is one condition in which we can see where each other is and that is by having the app open on both phones, this is unlike all my other contacts within the Fnd my Friends app where I can see where they are despite the app not being open on their devices. Can anyone help? It's really bugging us.

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may
help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and
then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at
a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from
completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to
reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no
ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available".

All my contacts on Find My Friends is saying "Location not available."Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe because of the inclimate weather?

This was the only thing that actually worked. I have 3 iPhones, and 3 iPods on my account. All of the devices could see and use our contacts and calendars, except mine all of a sudden. They were there yesterday, and today I went to use my contacts, and poof, gone@!
My settings had been changed somehow, so that my cloud sync was off for calendars, notes, and contacts. I never did this, and my phone is password locked, so my kids couldnt have. I went and turned them all back on, but they wouldnt show any synced data, even though I was plugged in and on my home wifi.
I tried this trick, but starting a new iMessage, add a contact, go and add/edit a contact, and suddenly I could see all the data. All my contacts were there to choose from to edit an existing contact. I edited something simple, and then saved it, backed out, checked my contacts data and calendars, and they magically appeared again.
This seems to be a problem in iOS as the data was apparently there, but not showing. Now I am good. Thanks a ton for the tip!!!!

Mapped Drive - Location Not Available

I have a small recurring problem that is starting to get a little bit bigger.
My environment is:
Server 2012 Standard, AD, File Server, Print Server. Running on Hyper-V (2008)
Clients are Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.1 all professional.
I have a number of mapped drives that all go to this same file server. If I open a Windows Explorer window on any client and leave it open, after a while (always seams random), I will eventually get an error message saying "Location Not Available"
The contents of the directory I was looking at goes blank when this message comes up. I can click OK and immediately hit refresh on the Explorer window and the contents will come back.
Most of the time this is annoying but I am finding a couple of applications that do not like this behavior. They crash or close connections when this happens.
I have had a Remote Desktop connection open to this server while getting this and it does not get disconnected. I do not see anything that looks related at all in the log files of the client, the server or the Hyper-V host. I have made sure that the drivers
on Hyper-V are up to date as well as all firmware (especially the network cards).
I am not sure if the problem started when I upgraded my personal workstation to Windows 8 (from 7) but that is when I first started to notice this.

Hi,
Do you mean the issue only occurs on Windows 8 systems?
Also whether these mapped folders are DFS shares or just normal shared folder?
If DFS is involved, test to disable Client Side Caching to see if it is related. Please add this key in all DFS target servers.
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanServer value=<sharename> cscflags=48
As it is a random issue, it will be difficult to find out the root case. You can try to capture a network trace with Network Monitor when the issue occurs. Let's see if any specific information could be found.
Detailed steps could be found:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812953
Note: As the issue occurs randomly, the package may be large as you need to wait until the issue occurs.
Note2: you can upload package to OneDrive however as is open to public so everyone could see that package.

Storage Spaces -error Location not available.

I have had Storage spaces running for a couple of weeks. 4 drives 3tb each, same make/model. Have them pooled into a striped "raid 5" setup thru storage spaces. I travel and do some shift work. I frequently try to get access to them remotely
and informed that the drive pool is not accessible. So when I get home I attempt to access it locally with same issue.
I see my pool (G:) in my drive list, I click on it no problem, can see 1st directory, and can go into 1 folder. If I try to do anything in that folder, go to any other folders or attempt to use any files in the root, it sits and waits and looks
like it is searching. I hear no drives spinning up and after about 2 minutes I get a pop up that says location not accessible.
In order to access the information, I need to shut computer down and reboot. Not only is this a bother, but sometimes not available remotely.
Are the drives going to sleep and not waking up?
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Hello Chris,
Do you mean that you use a RAID5 drive to create a storage space, and it worked for weeks and now has the issue about ‘location not accessible’?
Please share us the whole error message and a screenshot is preferred.
Based on my test, I can normally create a storage space with 3 VHD. And it work with no accessible issue.
Please try to change ownership and permission of the drive and check if the issue still exists.
For more information about taking ownership, please take a look at the following article.

Some DCs are not available locally - NWDS error while importing Track confg

Hi,
We have configured NWDI in our landscape.
As per the requirement of the developers, we have created a new product and software component (SC) in SLD, as they don't want to use any standard components.
The same has been synced with CMS using update CMS.
Now a new track is created (in landscape configurator) and the new SC has been added to the track. Track creation was successfull....given the sdm passwords for all 3 systems.
While saving a pop-up came saying that as the SC is New (i did not select the developed option), I need to Check-in and Import into DEV manually.....I GOT STUCK HERE.
What files needs to be checked-in in Transport studio?
Also when developers are trying to import the configuration in their respoective NWDS...they are getting "Some DCs are not available locally" error.
Also updated the patch of their NWDS but still no use.
Could any one help me out.
Regards,
Siv

Dear Satya,
As per your advise. I have maintianed the 3 dependencies for the SC.
However, the error "Some DCs are not available locally" is still recurring in NWDS.

While Creating PM order If component stock is not available shld thr error

Dear All,
At the time of PM order creation, If assign component stock is not available system should through error and order shold not save
Regards
Honyal

Hi Mr Honyal,
This is not possible in Standard.
You need to configure it throught user exit.
You can use user exit - CNEX0009.
The exit is called from PS, PM, PP, so while coding please use a specific transaction code like IW31, IW32 etc.
The exit is called material by material. So if you have entered 5 material in components screen,
the exit will be called 5 times.
At run time you need to check the availabel stock of that material and give error if the stock doesnt exist.
Take help from your ABAPer & MM consultant for coding and finding tables of stock.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir

SIRI directions and locations NOT available in CANADA??? ***!!!

Hello Apple??? Canada is not a third world country, there actually is civilization up here. I bought the 4S SPECIFICALLY for the location/direction available thru SIRI. So when I tried finding a Starbuck's - "Sorry, I can't look for places in Canada" I sure hope this is temporary! Not just Starbuck's, but directions, weather information, many commands. Disappointing iPhone

wilmat09, I believe you are missing the point of most of the frustrated complaints on this page. Siri may well be in beta stage, but it was used by Apple as main selling point for people around the world to by the 4S, and aside from small print here and there in obscure places, it was not mentioned in any of the publicities or in any of the keynotes that it was in beta. Also, why not simply generate the response that Siri can ONLY provide locations in the US ? I am using my 4S in Belgium and at first I thought the issue was due to Belgium being a small country, probably not significant enough for the first wave of implementation ... later I experienced same issue in France and UK and am now reading that basically the only country where it works is US.
I have been an apple product fan and user since 1980 (Apple II), and will remain one of the millions of "unpaid apple advocates" , but in the 31 years of using and buying Apple products, I have NEVER known Apple to roll out their main product sales argument (in this case Siri) in beta so clumsily.
In addition, when going through the customer survey I received after purchasing the 4S, I found some very generic (4 in total) questions with tick boxes to reply to, and no possibility at all to provide real meaningful feedback (also a first in my experience with Apple), and after sending a formal e-mail message to the Apple customer service with my frustrations have never received a reply.
Not sure if it is a co-incidence or if it is just me imagining things, but customer satisfaction orientation seems to have taken a turn for the worse with the roll-out of the 4S ... which more or less co-incides with losing Steve Jobs ... I hope this is not going to be the way of the future for Apple.

I think we need another level of logging enabled to actually see what went
wrong before this point. It sounds to me as if the APP object references
a path that the server is not able to resolve. Like maybe a drive letter
instead of UNC path.
COuld this be?

Getting "Not available to distribute" error

Has anyone any idea on why we are getting this error? Is seems any new distributions we create, or existing ones that have changed haven't worked since 29th Feb (not sure if this is significant or not). The distributions don't distribute and the distributor logs look like this:

"not available for FaceTime" error after upgrading to Mountain Lion

I have an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Mac Mini and have had no problems receiving FaceTime calls on any of these devices until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now everytime someone tries to call me on FaceTime they get an error that I'm not available. I can call them just fine.
Using my wife's iPhone I tried to debug the issue and found that after I toggle FaceTime off then back on using the Mac mini that I could receive a faceTime call. However, after a few days I am no longer able to receive a call.
Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix?
Thanks!
David

Thanks, but this didn't work for me. I did a fresh install, so there was no subfolder in my Barnes and Noble folder.
I tried the second suggestion from NA Smith too, but that didn't work either.
I had this problem last year on my imac, and I gave up on Barnes and Noble. But I had one book I wanted to access (a diet book), and tried again on my new Macbook Pro.... same frustrating thing, even after all this time - shame on B&N!!!
So, I bought the one book again, this time at Amazon. I feel sorry for anyone who has bought many ebooks from B&N - they are definitely not even trying to be serious about their software - I assume the have a couple high-school kids working part time (?).

Since upgrading to 8.0.1, on 80% of the addresses entered Firefox give me a "server not available - try again" error message. What did you guys do?

Since upgrading two days ago to Firefox 8.0.1 I get this error message on 80% of the addresses I try to access:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at orders.tigerdirect.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
What's the problem with the upgrade?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

UCM content "Web Location" not available

I installed an UCM on my linux server, and uploaded some contents on that.
Everything went just well, except I cannot access the content via the "Web Location" (which shows on the Content Information page of the content server).
Web Location: https://myserver.net/cs/groups/public/documents/document/mdaw/mdaw/~edisp/myservernet000003.jpg
Native File: Blue hills.jpg
Do I need to config something before the web location works?
Why the web location starts with https while the content server starts with http?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Srinath,
I uploaded an image on IPM(WebCenter Imaging), and of course, I could find that file on UCM Content Server.
The weird thing is that the Web Location of that image was available. After clicking the URL, I was navigated to the IPM login page. I inputted username and password, and viewed the image.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks

Option to "copy photos to a new location" not available

LR 2.7, Mac
I regularly use the import from catalog command to merge catalogs. Most of the time I want to move the images, so I usually select the option to “copy photos to a new location” going e.g. from laptop to desktop.
Occasionally though that option does not appear on the drop-down menu. If it was selected previously upon importing from a catalog, the menu will show a blank entry. If one goes ahead with it looking like that, the computer will hang until one cancels the operation; no images will have been copied.
It just happened again this morning. I had started up the laptop in target disk mode, but LR woudn't let me select to copy the new images. A copy of this particular catalog on an ext. HD wouldn't work either. A copy on any of the internal HDs did work fine though. (I've ruled out permission problems.)
As a workaround I then usually export the catalog from the laptop onto one of the internal HDs and import the catalog from there.
What puzzles me is that most of the time it works fine and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.
Anyone seeing this or having any ideas?

You can reset the browser.newtab.url pref on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
