  • HT201412 My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work, As long as I have this situation I can do nothing on

    My i Pad 3 shows "cannot Access Find My Friends open the app and review your sign in information to continue sharing your location. And I have two buttons : Later and Open but they don't work. As long as I have this screen situation, I cann't do anything on my I Pad. Please help !!

    I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
    I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
    I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

    Perform a Reset...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Cannot Access Find my Friends popup

    A popup reading Cannot Access Find My Friends will not close when we click Later or Open (the two choices).  We tried to shut down the iPAD, but the screen will not respond to anything else.  Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue??

  • Screen Locked with box "Cannot Access Find My Friends"

    This has never happened...when I try to go on my iPad there is a box that says "cannot access find my friends" with 2 buttons "later" or "open". When I select either of those nothing happens.  I have tried shutting down and it won't let me select to power down.  I have asked Siri all sorts of questions and commands which she answers and follows.  When I ask her to go to the find my friends app it displays a white screen.  I never even use this app.  Here is a pic of what it looks like.

    Try a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    Afterwards, enter multitasking and close off the Find My Friends app as it may be running and throwing this message. It appears you are likely on iOS 6.x so I'll include the procedure to close off the app for that iOS as it's different than iOS 7 and above:
    Double-tap Home, press and hold one of the running app's icons (in your case, Find My Friends) until it wiggles, press the red - on the icon to close the app. Do this for all of the apps you want closed.
    Note that a similar pop-up message stating something like "This iPad had not been backed up for xxx amount of time" has also been know to appear with similar symptoms as this message. The only way to clear the message is with a device reset as mentioned above. Apple needs to address (at least) this "no backed up" message issue as it can prevent one from using their device unless they know of the reset.

    Hard reset helps (pressing two buttons at the same time until you see apple on the screen.

    Somehow my iPad got switched for messaging to showing from my email. There is no option showing to use my phone number. How do I get it back to my phone number? This happened when I upgraded my iPhone today, but the iPhone messaging is using the phone number fine. It's only the iPad messaging that is messed up. Help, pls.
    thanks!

    You can link the phone number to the iPad again, if you follow the instructions here.

    The relevant information for you will be at the end of the article. You may have to sign out of messages on the iPhone and the iPad and start all over again.

  • After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct.

When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct. I apparently need to switch locations manually, specifically for the App Store. Help?

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

    Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
    Thank you for the suggestion.
    I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
    As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
    even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
    I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
    Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
    Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
    I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

  • My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle

    My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle for some reason. I have tried turning it off and resetting it, but the line still appears. Does anyone know what causes this or how it could be rectified?

    Hi JoMayo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're noticing lines or distortion on your iPad screen, I would suggest completing step 4 (update iPad) and 5 (restore iPad) in our iPad assistant:

    Hi higi97,
    How are you connected to the internet? Are you behind a particularly secure corporate firewall? Are you on Mac or Windows? Do you have any anti-malware software running on your machine that may be preventing applications other than your browser from connecting to the internet?
    You may try to follow the steps below:
    1.Close the Creative Cloud application.
    2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Mac OS: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
    3.Delete the opm.db file.
    4.Launch Creative Cloud.
    Let us know if that helps,
    Regards,
    Rave

    my disk drive will start up when i plug it in, and runs for about 30 seconds, but wont get recognized in my computer. It used to show up in the finder but that doesnt happen anymore

    If you go to Disk Utility, can you see the drive on the left hand side? If not, then the drive is dead. You'll have to buy a new drive.
