Server error on Find My Friends after apple id change

I keep getting a server error on find my friends after I updated my apple id. I have made sure I've updated my apple id everywhere including icloud. What is really wierd is when I go into find my friends, and click on "me" the "Send As" under invitations shows my old apple id but when i click on that to change it, my new id shows up in that space. Its like the iCloud has a glitch on my old apple ID. I'm not even sure a complete phone restore would work if icloud is the problem. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem! I started out with an old @mac.com address that then got migrated to an @me.com address. I log into my account with the @mac, but my email address is @me. It seems like the app is trying to verify the @mac email address, which doesn't exist anymore. I can't believe there isn't a fix for this yet!

Server error on 'Find my Friends'

Hi Guys/Girls,
I changed my apple ID a while ago but now I get a server error on find my friends? I'm verified etc on my device and id but when I re-install the app it keeps telling me there's a server error. How can i fix this?
I've deleted the app, logged out and then back in, reset my network settings, everything is verified but still I can't accept follows/request them, it's doing my head in!!
Cheers
Steve

I ended up being able to solve it. It turned out the e-mail address associated with the account was not set up correctly.
I found out by accident when I tried to get Find My Friends to work on an older device with iOS 6. When I installed Find My Friends on that device, the App Store said the latest version required iOS 7 but I could load the previous version of Find My Friends.
This older version turned out to be much more helpful: instead of the server error, it told me exactly what the problem was. I just selected the correct e-mail address (which was the only one in the list, but not actually active) and everything worked correctly from then on.

HT204407 Whenever I open find my friends after 10 seconds it says there's been a failure with my password or apple ID

Whenever I open find my friends after 10 seconds, it says I've entered the incorrect ID or password, I've tried making a new ID and I've deleted it and reloaded it, and various other things and it still seems to come up with the same message. I

Apple IDs once created through My Apple ID can not be deleted by the individuals that created it through the apple id site.
Or iCloud ID/Email
same steps on reseting the password
So the email address that you use as your Apple iD for which you use to sign into your icloud account, have you Actually went to Appleid.apple.com selected Create Apple ID and used that email address to create yuor Apple ID that you have been using this whole time?
i hope the answer is yes,
and if the answer is Yes, well the message states either Apple ID or Password is incorrect. Well looking at the Apple ID if it indeed is correct then, go to Appleid.apple.com and select Reset password which is located under the blue button that will read Manage Apple ID.
When selecting Reset password follow the information prompted, then you can chose to either
Reset the password by: Answering the Security Questions you set up when creating the Apple id OR
the Email Authentication - which send a reset link to your email address OR if you have a recovery email you entered when creating this Apple ID [AND followed the verification link process and verified it] the reset link will go to your recovery email instead.
otherwise contact AppleCare Account security [be ready to verify your information]

hope this helps ya

"you're signed out of Find My Friends after an hour of inactivity."

FIND MY FRIENDS APP
"If you haven't set a passcode to unlock your device, you're signed out of Find My Friends after an hour of inactivity. To stay signed in, set a passcode on Settings > General > Passcode Lock or Touch ID & Passcode."
So the only way for friends to see my location at any time is to use a passcode every time I use my phone after being autolocked?
If I don't want the inconvenience of repeatedly typing a passcode, on the whole friends can't see my location? Unless I remember to keep logging in to the app.
If this is correct, the app can't easily be used for 'anytime locating', only when meeting up. That is, if it always occurs to friends to use it when meeting up. Looks like a major downside, if understood correctly.

I just got this problem and cannot see how this can be undone either...
Best regards,

Find My Friends & iCloud & Apple ID

Hi, a few days ago I was informed that my main email provider was shutting down (O2).
I used to have the O2 email address as my Apple ID. So I changed it for a Hotmail address via Apple ID website.
I changed my iCloud email to the same Hotmail address too, as I don't store anything there anyways.
Problem is that Find my Friends uses my O2 account to log in, if I take the key lock off my phone it automatically logs me out.
I then have to go to Apple ID to make my O2 email the primary account to be able to log back into Find Friends.
As the O2 account is soon to close, I will soon no longer be able to verify the O2 email as my primary and I'll be locked out permanently
or I'll have to keep a key lock on my phone constantly.
Basically I need to sign out of Find my Friends and re-enter my new Apple ID.
Anyone know how to do this, please???!!!
Thanks.

How was this resolved? I have tried i sign into iCloud, but never do receive the email to verify and authenticate my sign in?

My office uses windows based computers setup with a server setup. Can an apple server emulate or find compatibility with an apple server or apple computer linked to the server and allow full file sharing and printer sharing with pc's?

I have 11 computers all pc's linked to an old windows server and all used primarily for microsoft office and printer sharing as well as for internet browsing. Can an apple joining the setup cause compatability issues?

HI,
grey-haired IT guy here, old enough to come from the counter culture. I ran (COO, including IT & compliance) a third billion dollar financial institution all on Macs 15 to 20 years ago. All the "experts" had a long list of reasons it would be impossible, and it drove the examiners nuts, but it's only gotten better.
So your benefits are going to be mostly in ease of administration after the learning curve, less aggravating glitches, better overall reliability, and arguably better security. And reductions in cost and improvement in time to implement changes.
In my current environment of mostly dozens of PCs, the moment I let the OS X Server be the domain master controller, the Windows network browser settled down and instantly showed network neighborhoods like it should have. (We may have some forgotten pre-NT machines plugged in somewhere -- this is NOT a financial institution).
Couple anecdotes might explain the feeling of coming in out of the cold: Putting a test copy of a web site from the cloud onto the Mac server, XAMPP or MAMP is pretty much already there. The site has a couple WordPress blogs, and they need .htaccess files, and Apache needs an option set to permit remapping URLs. After much searching far and wide to find why it didn't seem to be working, I found the checkbox right there on Apple's management screens. Much easier than editing .conf from command line. Linux web admins hate it.
Tale # 2: We aren't fully Windows domain controlled -- just using the old network browser. Need to upgrade that, and I Googled quite a while trying to understand what needed to be done to use Apple's Open Directory instead of setting up an Active Directory on Windows -- both SLDAP3. Turns out one reason I couldn't find much is there isn't much to say: it just works. Just join the domain from a Windows machine.
One more and I'll be quiet a bit. We use the Wiki collaboration which is nice enough as far as it goes (no spreadsheets, fatal flaw) and it occupies the server's native web site slot. So the test copy needed to be another site. Easy enough -- site setup is all GUI and works fine, but WordPress could not handle a multiuser blog coming to a non-standard port (other than 80) so I needed a second IP multihomed on the server. How do you do this? Go to Network in the System Prefs, click on the Ethernet interface and select "duplicate". Set your IP address. Done.
In summary a Mac OS X Server is a better server for a Windows shop than Windows Server 200x.
My bottom line for choosing Apple: lower blood pressure. I SHOULD be money. After all is said and done, it's about money. The incredibly more pleasant experience is a free benefit. You'll pay more for better hardware, but way less in time and trouble. And you won't be hounded on a daily basis to update the system. Not that Adobe or Firefox are any better about it on a Mac, but the Apple approach to updates stays in the background.
Think different. Simplify. Focus. Enjoy your work.

IDM with SQL server Error: Cannot find columns for the table...

Hi all,
I am Configuring IDM with SQL Server repository and ran into this error.
'Cannot find columns for the table 'object'
.....jdbc...[SQL Server]Invalid object name 'object'
Can anybody please help me!!
G

Yes, permissions are very important. I ran into a similar problem because I didn't have the correct permissions. Make sure the user has the following permissions:
CREATE ANY TABLE
ALTER ANY TABLE
DROP ANY TABLE
CREATE ANY PROCEDURE
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE
DROP ANY PROCEDURE
Also, make sure there is enough space in the default tablespace of that user.

But when I log into my daughters Find my Iphone app, it works. Thru my app, different apple id, I get this message.

Errors Cannot find Key and Missing Apple APP. Itunes Support requires App.

****,
I hope someone can help me, I have tried to trouble shoot this problem with the itunes app for about a month now, I have tried all of the suggested supports and none work. When I install itunes, I will get a error pop up that says. "Could not open Key Unknown\ components \....." it then gives a long key number. The ask me to make sure that I have sufficient support to that key or contact your support personal. I am the only one on this PC and the Administrator. I will also at times when I try to load the itunes , get a pop up saying Apple Application Suport was not found cannot Apple Application Suport is required to run iTunes Helper. Uninstall Itunes then install again...Error 2"
I have removed this (Itunes and Quicktime) and reinstalled manytimes. My husband also has a 64 bit windows 7 PC and it is having the same issue. I have ran Virus scans on and off line and deleated the PC's back up files just incase it's a virus. Please help us out. Thanks a bunch

I found the fix to the error
Could not open key:
XXXXXX
Verify that you have sufficent access to that key, or contact your support personnel
I went to windows "Regedit" and located the registry key
HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Installer User Data S-1-5-18Components
I right click & Choose Permissions. I ended up changing the permissions for all the files in the componets to allow my changes.
I suggest if unexperienced people try this they should read about permissions before hand. Also, I found a post at www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=150548 by R. Harris that lead me down the righeous path... Thanks.
Thanks for all the people on the discussion board, after a month I can now run I-tunes on my new machine.

Finder extremely slow after apple+I (import) or Apple+O (Open) commands

hej
I have a problem with the finder. Whenever I click Apple+I (import) or Apple+O (open) in any application it will take up to 2 minutes for the finder opening window to show up. (the window where i can choose a file etc)
I have heard that my self updating idisk might cause this - yet I have already set it to manual updates. And this still happens regularly on 2 different Powerbooks 1.67 Ghz (one of them bought in May, the other in December 05)
any ideas as of how to solve this??
thanks,
Enno

It's not because the iDisk is set to self update, but rather because the iDisk is mounted. Unmount the iDisk (drag it to the trash), and then try doing Open or Import. I bet it will be much faster.

Disable iCloud after apple id changed?

Hi,
I changed my apple id primary address on the web but forgot to sign off iCloud and "Find My iPhone" on my iPhone 5. After I upgraded my iPhone 5 from iOS 7 to iOS 8, it starts asking me iCloud password associated with the old email id, but it no longer accepts the password and I can no longer sign in to iCloud, nor can I switch to the new apple id on the iPhone.
I tried the solution on Can't change iCloud ID, but it doesn't work for me because when I try to revert to my old email address, it says "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." in the "Change Primary Email Address" input.
Anyone hit similar problems before? Really appreciate your help on this!
Thanks.

I have the ditto problem contacted Apple Support and basically their Sr.Tech wasted my time, and after calling for a week and spending three hours each time, Icloud id forwarded to so called "engineering" and they will contact me in two business days, Apple is so ignorant that they don't care that my phone is locked including all my contact and other important information still they are taking their time to resolving the issue. if you have any alternative method to restore the phone please let me know

IPhoto can't find original photos after volume name change

I had to reformat my drive and do a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I was pleased that the Migration Assistant imported all the user accounts, apps, etc. from a Time Machine backup. Never could have done *that* with Windows...
However, in iPhoto, I *do not* copy pictures from my Pictures folder into the iPhoto library and iPhoto can't find them. I expect that this is because I changed the volume name when I reformatted the drive, which is embedded somewhere in the iPhoto package in my Pictures folder.
Does anyone know which iPhoto files I can edit or batch edit to change references from the old volume name to the new one? Is this information stored in text or XML files that I can edit or is it embedded in binary files? I thought I might be able to reimport the photos from the current volume and iPhoto would sort out the duplicates (not a great option if I get prompted for each one though...) but I wasn't sure if that would preserver events, faces, etc.
When I try to rebuild the iPhoto library, I get a dialog indicating each file cannot be found on the volume. While it provides an option to browse for the location, this isn't practical due to the 1000's of photos and movies on the drive.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

As OT says, the primary reason not to run a Referenced Library, and, most especially, not one where you have the Library on one Volume and the photos on another.
You're going to have this problem again and again any time you make a change to your hardware set up - including upgrading your machine and so on.
Going forward: Do you have Aperture? This has a command to Locate Referenced Masters which should help. Other than that, how are you at hacking SQL databases? That's what this guy did:

New iPad user; confused after apple ID change of password and email address. New details NOT recognised by iCloud and actual iPad? Help! Thank you

I'm new to my iPad & Apple!
I have updated/ changed details within my Apple ID; email, contact details and changed password.
This has worked & recognised when using updated password for use with Apple's web site (e.g. Able to login to this site) & all other apps with the EXCEPTION of iCloud and also my actual iPad ("internal/own" software/OS I would presume?!).
Shortly after turning my iPad on, the Apple ID request pops up showing my old email address. I have tried entering old & new passwords which both fail. I now cancel this request and continue ok.
This also happens with iCloud: as just mentioned, the request for Apple ID comes up with old email address and neither old or new passwords are accepted (& therefore I can not back-up to iCloud).
Can anyone help please?
With anticipated appreciation and thanks,
NJohnR
(Maybe I should mention that while I live in the UK; Scotland, I am currently on holiday in France while I have made further changes to my ID password, though was at home when made initial changes).

I have resolved this problem!
I try &change my email details within my iPad's iCloud settings. Though the primary (old) email could not be changed.
So I took advice from further searches here & on the iCloud site & went ahead and deleted my iCloud account. Success! Immediately after deleting the account I had a request to open & login to a new iCloud account with my new Apple ID login details already there (showing my new email address & requesting my password- all which worked fine). Also I have not lost any files.
I hope that this may help someone else in the future.
Happy Appleing all

ICloud won't work on mac after apple ID changed

I just updated my apple ID today. The same ID seemed to work on the mac Apps and iTunes store and my ipad iTunes and apps after I restarted them (restarting and updating the new ID to be the same). But this evening my mac iCloud said it can't/ isn't working. My iCloud apple ID is the OLD applel ID. It is greyed out and I can't update it. Please tell me what settings to change or what I have to do to get my iCloud up and running again.
I don't want to delete everything from iCloud with sign out unless that is the only way.
I guess I don't understand what happens to my data if I sign out of the cloud. Is it lost to my old apple ID or is it just floating there until I pick it up again with my new apple ID?
Please help me fix this
Thanks

Good day haynechi,
If your external hard drive will not mount on your MacBook Air but it will show up in Disk Utility, you may need to erase the hard drive in order to get it to show up on the Mac again. NOTE - this process will destroy any data on the drive, so be sure you have anything on there backed up somewhere else before you begin!
Use the steps in this article -
Disk Utility 12.x: Erase a disk, CD, or DVD
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

How to unlink two iPhones are still linked after Apple ID change?

I upgraded to iPhone 5s and gave my 4s to a friend. I reset it and everything but the iPhone still had all of my contacts and everything on it. She reset it, it didn't do anything different. She messed around and somehow got her email address connected to my apple iD. I sent her to the sprint store for them to help her reset it. They set the phone up for her but our phones are somehow still linked. I have deleted her email address from my apple account. It had it under the alternative address section. But when I go to send a text message and look up someone's number through the search, it brings up names and numbers that are on her phone, but not in my contacts. When I go to my contacts, they do not show up. Only when searching on the text message section. Also I notice that her email address is still listed in my icloud account. When I click on iCloud under settings and and click on my account email address it brings up my account info. But at the bottom it says "advance" and her email address shows there. how do I fix this?

This isn't being cused by iCloud. It happens when you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".
Also be sure you aren't using the same ID for FaceTime or you'll get each other's FaceTime calls. If you are, one one of the phones go to Setings>Facetime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.
