We use Find My Friends to track our teenagers.
We use Find My Friends to track our teenagers. One keeps deleting the app. Is there anything we can do to prevent that or is there another way to find them? Bottom line. I don't want them to be able to delete the app or is there something else out there we can use?
Well you could tell them if they delete the app that you take the phone from them :-)
Or
Go to Settings > General > Restrictions
Enable restrictions and select the Deleting Apps option.
You may want to limit other option while you are there.

HT201493 can 2 pepole use find my friends on 2 devices with the same apple id
My wife and I are connected to the same Apple ID we would like to use Find My Friends to follow each other but only one of use shows up on the map,
The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account. If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On. -
It's unavoidable - but I don't like being tracked. Is there a way to make everyone think I'm somewhere when I'm not?
Delete the Find My Friends app. Don't give anyone your Apple ID password as if they had that, they could use Find My iPhone to track your phone. Don't let social media services (twitter, Facebook, Instagram) have access to your location services.
If you are on an cell phone account that is controlled by someone else (e.g. parents) note that they may be able to avail themselves of carrier services to track your phone. In order to avoid being tracked that way, you would, as Bonanaza888 noted, you'ld need to put your phone in Airplane mode or turn it off. -
my two daughters and I have iphones. I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them. We have 1 icloud, but different emails. When I send a request it states that I can't send a request to myself. What am I doing wrong
Sharing an Apple ID is never recommended for these reasons.
They can create their own: http://appleid.apple.com and you can add them at the addresses they use for their ID.
Sharing an Apple ID is not recommended because all of your data gets merged and when it gets deleted from one device, it deletes from them all, such as Contacts.
iCloud Guide -
Why when I try to sign in to Find my Friends does it tell me I cannot as my iPhone is not supported with free iCloud service? I do not use find my friends on another device.
So, have you created an iCloud account and is your device connected to iCloud?

How do I use Find My Friends App on the computer?
I have a windwos 7 and im trying to locate my brother's Ipad but I can't. Is there any way to look up my brothers Ipad from Icloud.com?
No you cannot use "Find My Friends" on the Mac or PC, because there is no App or Web App for that. If your brother lost his iPad and enabled Find My iPhone, then he could use his Apple ID/iCloud account to locate his device by using "Find My iPhone".

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How to use Find Iphone app to track my child and they not track me?
Just bought my kid an Iphone 4S, just like mine:) I want to use "Find Iphone" app to track him occasionally. AND I want to use the Icloud to see what pictures he is taking and what websites he is visiting. However, I don't want him to track me neither do I want him to be able to access my information over the Icloud.
How is this possible?http://www.gadgettrak.com/products/iphone/

I am trying to use Find My Friends and I have been through troubleshooting 3 times. Why won't my location work? Everything is on but the 2nd screen in Find My Friends is grayed out, whereas my other family members 2nd screens are active? I have an iPhone 6 Plus, latest ios8, and yes my location says it is being shared, but it is not.

I decided to try and boot from the Tiger discs, but when I did, all I got was a screen that looked like a blizzard of pixels.
The firmware was likely changed and it's not compatible anymore or the disk is bad.
I was able to boot using the Snow Leopard disc from both my new MBP and my girlfriends MB, but both said that OS X could not be installed on this computer, and I couldn't even use the disc utility to wipe the drive.
Those disks don't have the hardware drivers your machine needs.
Your going to need to get a Snow Leopard retail install disk from Amazon/elsewhere.
Do I need to have a serial number to reinstall OS X?
Thankfully No. -
Is there a way of finding an iphone5 using 'Find my Friends'?
I've lost my iPhone 5 and have tried to sync 'Find my iPhone' via iCloud but it's not possible without the device. Although, I do have 'Find my Friends' app but you have to be able to accept friends before they can see your location. So, is there any possibility that you can find your device using this app from a PC signed into iTunes/iCloud?
Dropbox, box.net, skydrive, cubby, sugarsync... the list goes on...

I have no idea how to sort this out.....
I have a mobileme account and an 'example'@me.com email address.
I purchased my music and apps etc through another appleid, which I have had for years. However, my 'example'@me.com email address, which was initially created through my MobileMe subscription is also linked with my other apple id.
I downloaded and tried to configure Find My Friends yesterday, and it requires a [email protected] email address. My iPhone and iPad are set up to use iCloud, but because my [email protected] email address is linked to my other apple id, I cannot complete the process. I am told that I need to verify my apple ID, but when I try, it says that the [email protected] email address is 'already verified for another apple ID'.
I'm aware that apple IDs cannot be merged, but is it possible to remove the already verified apple ID from one account so that it can be used with a different account, or has anyone solved this problem another way?So, have you created an iCloud account and is your device connected to iCloud?

I misplaced my iPhone and used Find My iPhone to locate it. The map showed my home and the apparent location of the iPhone which was five miles south of my home in a heavily wooded area. It turns out that was an incorrect location as I eventually found my iPhone in my office three miles in the other direction. Can anyone provide m with an explanation for the discrepancy and inaccuracy?

I ahve two phones on one apple ID, how can i track them both using find my friend?
I have an iphone 5 (work phone) and a 4 (home cell) both using the same iCloud and apple log-in. Only my iphone 5 shows up on find my freinds app and when i try to invite the "4" i get an error that you cannot invite yourself (it previously showed up before i got the 5).... I use my 4 for running etc and would like my wife and freinds to be able to track me if i get in trouble or am late for dinner
You're most likely gonna need another verified email address associated with your Apple ID to make this work. You'd then use that email address on the iPhone 4.

I have downloaded the application and attempted to add friends, which the application acknowledges, but the friend never receives the invite.
Is there something on our phones that we must turn on, what have we missed?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Go to www.iCloud.com and log in. Find my iPhone app must be installed on the phone and the phone must be on.

I had my iPhone 5c stolen this Tuesday afternoon while I was at the beach. Immediately after I noticed it missing I called the phone and it was off. I called the phone continuously later that night but it remained off. I did not use the Find my iPhone app until the following morning, however.
The phone has said offline for 2 days now. I'm wondering...is it reasonable to assume that eventually the phone will get turned back on and I will get a location? Or do thieves have ways around this? I do have a passcode on my phone. Once the phone is turned on to the locked screen, is it connected to the internet?
I filed a police report but the police seem to be pretty disinterested in helping me recover my phone. I literally got this thing on Monday and had it stolen Tuesday the next day. I was so excited about my new phone so I realize now I was texting like a little girl out there and probably was an easy target. Never bringing anything of value to the beach again, thats for sure.i m also put passcode in my iphone...but i dont know that how i know that my passcode is crack by someone???and same as police is not interested to find out it..
i want ma iphone backkk...........
