Why does Find My iPhone keep logging me out?

This recently started happening whenever I launch the Find My iPhone app on my iPhone. I used to save the login info once and it would remember that but in the last couple of days it keeps asking me to login every time I use it for both username and password.

Hi,
I had this problem, But this morning I updated my phone on the PC and the problem seems to have gone!
Give it a try

Why does find my iphone keep showing inaccurate locations

when trying to locate my iphone 3g from my computer windows 7 it keeps giving me the incorrect locations and it hits back often on the same location throughout the day. Often times when i press the refresh button it shows my phone to be in one place and then instantly moves it back to another place. Also on Google's Location History it shows the exact points of location to be the same as Find my iphone locations. Is it a glich or is my iphone really going to these places?

Hi lissadn,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article covers the factors involved in location accuracy and some suggestions for improving it:
iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594
About location precision or accuracy
Depending on your device and available services, Location Services uses a combination of cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS to determine your location. If you're not within a clear line of sight to GPS satellites, your device can determine your location using crowd-sourced Wi-Fi5 and cell tower locations or iBeacons.
Apps that can show your location on the screen, including Maps, indicate your current (approximate) location using a blue marker. If your location can’t be determined precisely, a blue circle also appears around the marker. The size of the circle shows how precisely your location can be determined—the smaller the circle, the greater the precision.
Note: When Location Services is active, a purple or gray arrow icon appears in the status bar.
Maps, directions, and location-based apps depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions, or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided on the device to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
Improving GPS accuracy2,4
GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:
Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
Restart your device.
Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
Note: Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
Maintain a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.
Crowd-sourced Wi-Fi and cellular Location Services
If Location Services is on, your device will periodically send the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple to augment Apple's crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations. In addition, if you're traveling (for example, in a car) and Location Services is on, a GPS-enabled iOS device will also periodically send GPS locations and travel speed information in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple to be used for building up Apple's crowd-sourced road traffic database. The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Apple doesn't personally identify you.
Cheers,

Why does Find my iPhone lose the signal

Why does Find my iPhone lose the signal at times and show whre it was maybe an hour ago even though the iPhone is still on?

Without your password it would provide no security and anyone could then hack into your phone if the found it or stole it.

My iphone keeps logging me out of my icloud account by it self and I have to log back on and turn everything back on.

My iphone keeps logging me out of my icloud account and every time it does I have to turn everything back on my contacts my calendar everything. Is there anything I can? It started doing this with in the last few updates

Restore the device as new.

Why does find my iPhone send me an email saying I have logged into my account using my Apple ID?

Since the new iOS 8.0.1 update I found that when I log into find my iPhone i then get an email saying: Your Apple ID was used to sign into Find My iPhone. It then proceeds to tell me what device it was (my one at this time) and the date and time. I do not want this setting on. I have looked into it and can't find the option to switch it off. This gives a potential thief the notification that the device is being tracked which is certainly NOT a good idea. Please help!!!!

I have this same question. Even if you are logging on to see where your child is, or to make sure he/she made it to school or is where they say they are it sends and email letting them know, pointless. And as you pointed out if you lost your phone or if it was stolen then whomever has your phone has access to email and then knows you are tracking phone. Please anyone, tell me how to remove this setting.

HT5622 why does Find My iPhone via iCloud on my iMac use Google maps and not Apple maps?

when I use Find My iPhone through iCloud on my iMac, the app uses Google maps to display locations. Why? Shouldn't it use Apple maps?

thanks
I used Apple maps on my iPhone, iPad and iMac and prefer it over Google maps except for street view (which albeit has an annoying, difficult to use interface). In El Salvador, Apple maps was certainly more accurate than Google maps. I like Apple maps turn-by-turn navigation via my Sonata's sound system, quite nice

Why does find my iphone think i'm in a different country?

I have a mac, ipod and ipad all with the "find my iphone" app. Whichever device I ask to find, it comes back with a pin-point location in Northern Italy. Which is great, but I'm in the UK.
I'm at home, connected to be my home wifi, which is connected to BT Boradband. If I check the location of the public IP address shown in my router, it correctly shows me in the UK.
So what's going on?

Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Limit website access to location services: Prompt for each website...
If you've already chosen one of those settings, you may in a location for which the master location database is inaccurate.

Why does find my iphone show my computer 2 blocks away

So Find My iPhone shows my iphone very close to where it really is, but at the same time it shows my computer 2 blocks away? Is it showing me the internet providers site/tower?

Your computer doesn't have GPS, so it's location is based on the known location of nearby WiFi networks and therefore will not be anywhere near as accurate as the iPhone location.

Why is Twitter for iPhone constantly logging me out?

Hi!
I have an iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) and the Twitter (latest version) app constantly logs me out. Beforehand, the app will experience a freeze then the next thing I know is that I'm in the login screen of the app. This is ******* me off since logging back in again discards my settings and drafts data. Any explanation/help about this?
Thank you!

I first logged in thru iOS (Settings). Then I was logged out after a few weeks of use. Then I tried removing my account completely from iOS so that it will also disappear from the app. Then finally, I tried logging in thru the app. Still, I was experiencing random logouts.

My iPhone keeps logging me out of iCloud, how can this be fixed?

My iPhone logs me out of my iCloud account randomly, and more recently over and over after signing back in each time the prompt appears. This is frustrating. It seems as if my phone forgets the password.

1. try to sign in once on iTunes
2. try to get a new password for your apple id
3. try to restore your iPhone using iTunes

Why does iTunes U site manager log me out when returning to collection manager?

So here's the problem ... kind of a weird thing has been happening lately with Site Manager. When I click on the feed of a collection to interact with the actual content (change the order, correct a typo etc.) and then click to return to collections manager, the site logs me out. When I log back in, it won't let me go back into the collection and gives an error message saying that the collection is unavailable because someone is already logged in to it. When I wait an hour or so, I can access the collection feed again but once I return to collections manager, I get logged out. I have tried this on different versions of Safari and in Lion with the same results. It is just in the last couple of weeks that this has been happening. Any ideas?

You are welcome, WonderProfessor.
Updating iTunes may not be the reason at all. It could very well be the Support Team has fixed the problem, which i think is the case.
Also, I learned i should report EACH problem to iTunes U Support Team using its Report Form:
https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes-u/public-site-manager/contact.html
I used the Report Form a couple of months ago to report a different problem. One tech support person responsded and I have been emailing to that individual via email about a few more issues since then. This, however, is NOT a good practice. Reporting each problem using the report form will help the iTunes Support Team to prioritize the work based on urgency.
Anyway, I am releaved it is working now. Thank you. And thanks to the iTunes U Support Team and iTunes U Editors.

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
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

Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked

HT5012 Why does my Game Center keep logging off

Any body else having the Game Center Log them off constantly on their Iphone 5 & my Ipad. It wont stay logged in?

You didn't restore the device as new before you began using it. Do so now, and use your own Apple ID & password from now on.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
Then, in the Setup Assistant, use only your own information.

Why does my mail program keep logging out?

While using the on board mail program we have recently started having an issue with the program logging our password out. Sometimes it happens one right after the other and other times it will go for an hour or so and ask for the password to be re-entered.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks
