Strange response from "Find Friends".

We gave our grandkids each an iPod for Christmas. They are both signed in to "Find Friends" so  we can help locate their iPods if they ever lose or misplace them. Most of the time we can see their iPods in their home in Columbus, Ohio. But about 20% of the time, their iPods show up in Chicago, Illinois, same address/building on the north side of Chicago. They have no other iPods signed in to Find Friends, the app just shows the iPods as being hundreds of miles away. Any ideas? No one else has their log in names or info. The place in Chicago appears to be an office or warehouse of some kind. They are on AT&T for wifi.

For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
Thus, it appears that the router(s) the iPod is using to get the erroneous locations does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.

  • HT4623 I have the iphone 4s and its updated to iOS 6.1.1 - Yesterday, I sent out a text to 10 people (my group messaging is set to OFF). I found out this morning that several people recieved responses from my friends/family. What can I do about this? Anyt

    I have the iphone 4s and its updated (ios 6.1.1). I've always had my group messaging set to OFF. Everytime I send a text to multiple folks, I find out that they were able to see everyone elses responses to me. My boss told me this morning that she saw responses from my friends/family from a picture I sent yesterday. Is there ANYTHING that can be done about this? It's important to be able to send texts to multiple people. I have to update them alot on my husbands illness. Help!

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • Strange response from edi partner : Time out

    Dear experts,
    I am using AS2 adapter receiver channel for my partner to receive a file .This partner unlike other partners is not receiving normal AS2 standard formats like 850 or 810 but a .csv tab delimited file having six columns .I used XML2Plain conversion using /AF_module/... in modules.
    Now, Issue is that when i do not use any module and let go .xml to partner then i am able to successfully send him file using AS2 .I get acknowledgment also.
    But when i use /AF_module i get timeout from partner end.Using this same module on file reciever i get the file clearly placed in desired delimited format in local ftp path.
    Now as an addon thinking may be they do not accept .csv,i added zip module to add.csv to zip and then attempted to send to partner using AS2.
    I get timeout as before.But again on attempting on FTP side ,i see a good zip file with my desired file placed inside.What mystery is this ?

    I just feel to add an observation which make me believe is a reason for timeout.Normal xml file when send successfully has url as http://url.com but when i use AF_Module i get https://url.com automatically redirected.How by AF_Module this is happening.Did someone get this before?

  • No response from Finder or System Preferences

    Today I bought a brand new iMac 20" 2.0ghz to replace my iBook G4 which was getting a bit old and have been using it for hours on end with no problems. Until just now. I have been trying to access the System Preferences panel to get my Front Row remote to work (it just doesn't do anything!) but whenever I try to access any of the settings besides the 'Dock' menu, it freezes up and I have to Force Quit out of System Preferences!
    I also cannot get any info on 'About This Mac' because clicking it does absolutely nothing. I have tried uninstalling the software for my tablet that I installed a few hours ago but it has made no difference.
    Could it be because I'm re-importing my iTunes library at the same time as trying to do this? The remote was working earlier, as were all of the System Preferences panels, and now it has just stopped. Everything else is running as normal. Any light someone can shed on this situation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    It seems you're going in panic!
    First of all run mainteinance , look for system updates if any, and take care of any block key pressed
    on your keyboard.
    Do not abuse of Force Quit it 'd destroy preference applications, if your itunes take 3h to import your library you can setup in Energy Saver panel some tunings to protect lcd.
    I think 3h to import a music library is not normal, can you post some other info about?
    What can of device you are copying from?
    Did you import ,when you set up your new iMac , an user from your old mac?
    Take a look also at spotlight corner, if there's a little point inside the glass icon , spotlight is indexing your drive/s , this is normal on the first system's run and this 'd slow mac performance.

  • ESB and Secured Web Service strange response

    Hi guys,
    We are facing strange response from ESB when we try to talk to a Secured Siebel service. Credentials are passed useing SOAP header, and in test case of not including any header at all.
    1-First try will return error, bad user name password
    2-Second or third try may even return actually results from Siebel service (and header is not included at all). I tested using SOAPUI tool.
    3-But If I test Siebel Service directly things go fine.
    Question: Is there some thing like a caching of SOAP header in ESB, if not an idea on how can after giving first fault second try right after that returns query results (from siebel service).
    any helps apperciated.
    thanks

    there shouldn't much difference in the time for the response ..., also when you are calling the secured web service from another BPEL, make sure you don't consider the time of the calling process ( i mean that BPEL ). you just try calling the secured web service from the EM console if it is a SOA composite. do you see any messages in the log files ? the procedure you followed is correct only, confirm here., i have posted a similar solution long back..
    Re: Creating a partnerlink  from a secure webservice
    Thanks,

  • How do you use Find Friends from same account on multiple phones?

    I have one itunes account with 3 iPhones.  When I send an invite from one phone to another persons email (in my family), it says I can't accept request from the same person.  Basically, it seems that all the phones are tied to one Find Friends itunes account.  Can you use this app in the same family with same accounts?

    I have a similar problem. I hope that Apple will offer a solution. It would appear to be possible because you can choose to see one of your other devices by signing in at me.com using your Apple ID and will be able to choose any of your devices and track it on a map. I'm a little disappointed that this is an issue but will remain optimistic that someone at Apple will wee these posts and provide an update.

  • I have a gen. one ipad purchased from a friend.  I find that it's using 5.1.1 and I am trying to download Netflix 5.1.  However, I keep getting a prompt that I am REQUIRED to update to iOS 6 in order to download the Netflix icon to my iPad. How to fix??

    I purchased a frist gen. iPad from a friend.  I find that it's using 5.1.1. and says that it's "updated" when I check.  Problem came when I tried to download my Netflix onto the ipad.  I keep getting the prompt that I must upgrade to iOS 6.  The netflix is 5.1 so I don't understand the problem.  My son also purchased a first gen. iPad and was able to download his netlifx account with no problem.  He got an option to "download a previous version".  I don't get that option and we have the same iPads - both running 5.1.1
    I read that there is a way around this problem but can't seem to locate a solution.  I've tried numerous times and always get the same prompt - that I must upgrade to iOS6.  Can anyone help me with this.  Using my Netflix was one of the main reasons I purcased the iPad.

    And they do offer a compatible version. As I am running running Netflix on my first generation iPad just fine.
    You'll need to first "purchase" the non compatible version  either on a newer device that can run it or on a computer running iTunes using the Apple ID that is on the first Gen iPad.
    After that is done, you should be able to go into the App Store App, and find Netflix under the Purchased Tab. Tap on it to download it and you should be warned its not compatible, but will be offered the compatible version.

  • App Store can't find any updates? No response from server.

    When I open iTunes I get a message saying "a new version of iTunes is ready for download". But when I click download/update it takes me to App Store where it can't find any updates. It keeps saying "Didn't get a response from the Software Update server (198.168.1.7)." every time I check for updates. Please help! I know there is a new update for iTunes and I can't update it.
    Please if you have any suggestions or ideas or explanations please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it!!!
    Thanks in advance.

    The system is configured to download updates from a private server, not from Apple. That server isn't working or isn't reachable. If you're bound to a network directory server, or if you're behind a firewall that doesn't allow downloading updates directly from Apple, your network administrator has to solve the problem. Otherwise, proceed as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder…
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Restart the computer and try Software Update again.

    i want to activate my iphone 5 i buy it from my friend and when i back to my country he close it from find my iphon and i cant contact with him what i can do ????

    Use it as a paperweight unlesss you can get hold of him. Doesn't sound like much of a "friend" to me.
    Apple can't/won't help you.

  • Friends cannot see response from the iphone 5

    When I send group messages from my iphone, my friends cannot see them.  I can see my responses and theirs on my iPad/computer,  but they are unable to see my response from the phone.  Am I missing something. 

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • HT201493 If I erase the find friends app from my decice does that mean my friends can no longer find me?

    Please answer(: I've Been needing this answer for a while about the find friends app

    From Apple's page on Find My Friends at
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
    The one paragraph that seems to provide the answer is...
    "Find My Friends can send your current location to friends even when the application is in the background and has been optimized to avoid draining your battery."
    So it seems you need to have the app (in background) for your friends to see you.

  • I bought a iphone 4 from a friend of mine a uear ago i never i used it untill today and i cant unlock it and i have service coming to the phone i contacted atnt they told me the phone is unlocked but it has find my iphone activared and he forgot his

    You can't bypass it, your friend will have to remember or reset his password to be able to reactivate the phone - he should be able to reset the password via http://iforgot.apple.com
