Can't turn on location services after ios5 upgrade

Since I upgraded to ios5, 'find my IPad' does not work. This is because I cannot turn on location services under settings. How can I get it to turn on?

I found out that I have to change my restrictions in settings. That solved the problem

  • IPhone 5: Can't turn on location services after ios 7 upgrade.

    When I upgraded to the current ios, location services got turned off.  Now there is a password there, and I'd never had one before.  I've been trying unsuccessfully for 3 weeks with every number combination that I can think of  to get into my restrictions tab and turn on location services. 
    Any Suggestions?.

    Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • HT4972 Why can't I turn on location service after updating to ISO 6.0

    Why can't I enable location service after upgrading to ISO 6.0

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have upgraded my iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and I can´t turn on location services. I have already twice restored the instalation of iOS 7 but no change. This should be the improvement of the apple software? Has anybody similar problem?

    I have upgraded my iPhone 5 with iOS7 and I can´t turn on location services. I have already restored the instalation of oOS 7 twice but no change. This should be the improvement of apple software? Does anybody have similar problem? Do you know how to solve it?

    A workaround is to reinstall lazy apps, mostly for those that were restored but don't appear on notification center, eg. Whatsapp. In my case I have more than 500 apps installed.
    We need a correct solution for this problem.
    I also had this problem on the past moving from 4s to 5.
    And now from 5 to 5s.
    The only notifications working after restore in my iPhone are those from Facebook.

  • HT5467 Can you turn on location services remotely to find a missing phone?

    Can you turn on location services remotely to find a missing phone?

    No.  The Find My iPhone service can only be used if it was set up and active, with location services enabled, before the iPhone is lost.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately not.

  • Can not turn on location services

    The "Location Services" on my iPhone 5 is greyed out and will not allow me to turn it on?
    Whats up?
    I just installed IOS 7,
    Find my iPhone is selected, on my phone, my iMac and the iCloud. They all have the same message, "Online, Location Services off"
    Any ideas?

    I had the same issue with ony of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday.  There are many processes that are working for people including:
    - Resetting the device several times
    - Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
    - Disabling Restrictions altogether.
    - Restoring from backup
    I was able to restore location services by selecting reset and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.
    Some people have been able to resolve the issue by just using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

  • HT5467 Can't turn off Location Services

    I want to turn off location services but all the on/off buttons are greyed out.  Why is this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • I am unable to turn on location services after the iOS7 update on my iPhone 5

    Relatively self explanatory. When I go into Privacy settings I am unable to turn Location Servies on. The option appears, but I cannot slide the switch to 'on'. This has only happened after the ios7 update.

    Hi dombew,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Also, check to make sure Location Services has not be restricted:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213?viewlocale=en_US
    You can prevent changes to privacy settings, including:
    Location Services
    Cheers,

  • How can I turn on location services as my iphone5 does not allow me too

  • Can't turn on location services

    Location services will not turn on no matter what I do. My iPad isn't 3G but I thought it should still work off of the wifi of at least let me turn it on.

    I'm presuming you're trying under settings and location services. Not sure if this is applicable, but under 'general' and 'restrictions' could your iPad be 'restricted' so that you can't turn locations services on?

  • Can't turn off location services on IPhone 4s.

    Settings -> Location Services (Always ON) -> can't turn ON / OFF. It's disabled. I can't even turn ON / OFF location services for apps down below. They are all Off by default. Verified with colleague and it's working on his iphone 4s. Can't find solution anywhere on web.

    Settings>General>Restrictions...are yours on? Allow Changes>Location>On/Off.
