Why does Find My Friends keep going back to log-on screen in mid-use?

During use, Find My Friends quits and goes back to a log-on screen, which tells me I'm logged in, and tells me that I have passcode lock activated. The only way to get back into the app is to log in again. Then I use it for a few seconds and it goes back to that screen. Very frustrating.

Hi Writ736!
As a step for basic troubleshooting, you may need to force quit the application and re-launch it to see if the behavior is affected:
iOS: Force an app to close

You may also want to try a simple reset on your phone, which is explained here:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
Would appreciate any help, thanks

- The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
- Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

my new email and new password is set up on i tones and not on my iphone 4 but under settins show my new email but my updates wont allow me to update it keeps going back to the old email and i dont use it any more

Did you change the email associated with your Apple ID or create a new Apple ID?
The former simply requires signing out of the iTunes store and back in with the new credentials.
The later is a waste of time as content acquired via iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.

HT1515 why does my airport express keep going offline?

i use airport for air play but it keeps going into flashing amber light about every week. why?

I found on some non-Apple tech sites some interesting info. One guy was having the same exact issues and wrote a script to see what was going on between the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses. It appears that the two devices were having security verification issues and that is why the Airport Expresses get getting knocked offline. In other words, when they talk with each other they fail the security verification and the Airport Expresses go haywire.
So the solution is to turn off the security on both the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses through the Airport Utility. Then, on the Airport base station you check the option to create a closed network. In other words, your wi-fi network is now unprotected but it is not broadcasting to anyone that it is there. From then on, you will have to choose "other" on your laptops/iPads/iPhones/etc and type in your wi-fi network's name rather than just choosing your wi-fi network from a list of options.
I did this a few weeks back and I have had zero issues since the very moment I did the above steps. The network is 100% reliable and faster. No more rebooting. Is it a tad bit unprotected? Yes, but no one knows the network is there. If someone is smart enough to be looking for non-broadcasting wi-fi networks and finding yours, then they are sophisticated enough to defeat your normal security protocols anyway. Maybe if Apple ever decides to fix this problem, which appears they might not be interested in doing, then you could go back to normal security protocols. But until then, this works wonderfully. Give it a try and see.

What is wrong?

Try a Restore...

Why does my phone signal keep going down?

I installed an app called texttones and after that my signal started weakening, I had a message come up about my hardware but I don't remember what it said exactly I don't want to have to reinstall it to read the message because after installing my signal bars went from 4 to 5 to 3 and below. What could be causing this. It keeps dropping even though I'm not moving. When I hit the end button on a call it goes back to one bar, it wasn't like this before. This hasn't happened before I got this phone a few days ago. I already tried resetting network, but its still the same. What should I do?

I downloaded an app called texttones and then I tried uploading a song from my library so I chose a song, and then hit save, after that an error message came up about the hardware and the signal went down from there (as n dropped from 4 to 3 and below bars). The page for the app is gone now and has something different in its place. Maybe some adware slipped through he app store? Not sure if I got infected from the app or maybe some ad popped up and made me download it thinking it was real and not the actual app.

Why does my 4s volume keeps going up by itself?

Hi. Thanks for your advice in advance! For the past 4 weeks, the volume of my 4s keeps going up on its own and then the volume screen doesn't disappear. It's really hard to manage texting/talking with this annoying issue. Has anyone had this same issue? Would apprecite some feedback. Thanks!

I had the same issue but on my iPhone 4S the volume keeps going down on its own and then goes on mute which really frustrates me. I can't believe you have the same problem.
@pogster Well,I already tried resetting all the settings and nothing changed.
I'm sure there is something wrong with the Hardware,software is not related to this issue.
I think something is repeatedly pressing the volume button and its going down or up.
A way to avoid this is to stop pressing the volume buttons from now on,thats what I did. Increase the volume from the screen not from the volume buttons and visit the closest Apple Store to help you with this.

Why does 'Find My Friends' show arrival time based on PCT rather than GMT

Both my iPhone is set on GMT (British Summer Time) my Macbook Pro is set as GMT (British Summer Time) and the location I have arrived at is in the UK. Yet the 'Find My Friends' alert shows I arrived several hours before I did in fact the same time that it would have been on the West Coast of America.

I have never gotten this to even send me 1 email. Sorry for the useless comment but I'd like to get notified on updates for this one.

Can't open Safari, keeps going back to the locked screen

I just got my I-Phone (8 gig) yesterday. Today, when I click on the Safari icon to open it up, I get a status wheel for a moment, then it goes back to my wallpaper and lock screen. I tried resetting the network settings but it is still doing it. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Try this:
1. Double-click the Home button and hold apps in the Task Bar down until they all wiggle then tap the minus sign to close apps. Tap the home button to return to Home screen.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.
