Can anyone explain why iPhone/iPad show one location and MacBook another?

Hi.  When I'm sitting at home with my three Apple devices I've noticed that my MacBook shows my correct location (or at least within about 10 metres) on Google Maps and Find my Iphone.  My iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (wifi-only model) both show exactly the same location as each other but about 1km west of the MacBook.  If I step outside my phone picks up a GPS signal and immediately switches to the correct location.  All three devices are only using wifi to locate themselves (I've tried with Airplane mode ON, wifi ON and cycled location services OFF and then ON after a minute on my iPhone to ensure this) and all three are connected through my wifi router.  Does anyone else see anything similar?   Does iOS use a different location database to OS X?

They won't appear if they aren't "universal" apps (i.e., if they don't work on both iPhones and iPads).  Of course, you also have to have Apps set to On under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Stores, and be using the same Apple ID for purchasing on both devices.

  • Can anyone explain why airplay works at the office and not home on my network using an iPhone 5 and a Macbook Pro? I need it to work please!!

    I can get airplay to work between my Macbook Pro and iPhone 5 at my office but when I'm at home airplay will not work. Does anyone know what may be causing this issue? Thanks!

    These are user to user forums.  You ARE NOT addressing Apple by posting here.
    Also, why are you YELLING at us??  Stop using ALL CAPS.
    What steps have you done to try and fix the problem?

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
    Thanks

  • Can anyone explain why on my iPhone 4S, whenever I play music, it won't hold my place in the song? I pause it, and then when I go back later, it's all the way back at the beginning? A google search was not very helpful, any tips would be great!

  • My wife, daughter and I have iPhones. We all have iMessage and Send Read Receipts activated. All the messages sent between the three of us are blue except those that my wife sends to me. They are green. Can anyone explain why.

    My wife, daughter and I have iPhones with iMessage and Send Read Receipts activated. All the messages sent between the three of us are blue however, when my wife messages me, the message appears in green on her iPhone. Can anyone explain why.

    Because some kind of error occured.  This is only from her iPhone to your iPhone?  Whenever she sends a message to any other iPhone, it is sent as blue?  And when anyone else sends you a message from an iPhone, it sends as blue?

    You would have to ask the person you bought the phone from to explain why.

  • I can't deauthorize all computers. It acts like it is doing it, but it never succeeds and no message returns saying why it didn't work. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

    I had to rebuild a computer. When I got iTunes installed and tried to sync my iPod it said that I had reached my limit of five computers. I logged into my iTunes account and went through the process for deauthorizing all computers. It comes up with a messaging asking if I am sure I want to deauthorize all computer and I select the "Deauthorize computers" button. It never comes back with a message one way or another whether it was successful. When I get out of that screen and come back in, it still shows that I have 5 authorized computers. I can't sync my iPod. The deauthorization is not working. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

    i guess no one helped? I'm having the same problem.
    When i press the button to deauthorize all computers, i get an error saying 'my account can't process this at this time. please try again later'

  • My G4 desktop won't  cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why?

    My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why? Otherwise, the desktop runs fine.
    The battery is new, and I zapped the little button on the main board once. I've noticed that the power supply plug is a little longer than the usual one for G4, and the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.

    Hi Ursula,
    the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.
    I believe that is for ADC Monitor power if you had one, or a card with ADC, like the little tab on this one...
    I think your startup problem is bad capacitors in the power supply or on the logic board, and the need to bleed off their charge before they work right to start.

  • Can anyone explain why

    Can anyone explain why when I signed up to BT broadband some 4 years ago the estimated line speed I would get was estimated at 3.5Mbps (I was actually getting between 1 and 2 and every so often 2.5). Recently I've noticed a drop in speed, last week the estimated line speed was 1Mbps and now this week it is 0.512Mbps! Has this happened to anyone else?
    In the last few weeks I have been suffering from dropped connection but it now seems stable. I did the bt speedtest and got the following
    Download speedachieved during the test was - 463 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-500 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :1024 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 224 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 500 Kbps

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Yes for me and is happening to alot of people just check out threads on this forum.
    I have been told by Bt open reach who came out to me, it is Bt doing this, and showed me evidence on the laptop to his computer connected to my master socket. 
    I quote " People sitting in India  at computers messing about with peoples connections this is my 3rd callout to a property this week (week begining 14/06/2010) for the same problem you are fine this end its the exchange".
     He added that I should state what he said.  It may be worth hanging around for a moderator to contact you keep checking your thread, it would appear they are helpful, certainly alot less stressful than phoning India and chasing your tail. Still trying to get this sorted even got released only 1 month in 18month contract with no charge.  However you do have to follow there complaint procedure which is not easy.
    Hope you get sorted soon.

  • Can anyone explain why all of my Spry Assets on a live website have suddenly stopped working?

    Can anyone explain why all of my Spry Assets on a live website have stopped responding? I have checked that the Spry CSS and JS files are in place. Then checked the files on Dreamweavers live view and they are not working there either. It was fine a few weeks ago, it is almost as if the web browsers have stopped rending Spry, for example, the links for the collapsible panels are not even being recognised as links.
    I am using 'old' spry assets on Dreamweaver CS4 (if that makes a difference). The Spry Assets used are Tabbed Panels and Collapsible Panels.
    Thanks for your help.

    Something has been going on, when I look at the bottom of your document (as pasted below), this is normally all at the top after the links to external style sheets.

    can anyone explain why I have a big chunk of memory (4.4GB) taking up space on my iPhone4?

    Because there is a big chunk of files in that section that take up space.  Kind of a "duh" question.
    Now if there is something specific you'd like to ask in an intelligent way, maybe reword the question or try a search.
    We simply cannot help if you cannot clearly communicate the issue.

    I have a .avi file that is not playing. It keeps telling me additional software is needed. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can anyone explain why?

    Because there's no codec installed on your system for that specific AVI, and there may be no Mac OS X component for it. Try installing Perian.
