HT5594 After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
Hope this helps!

    Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
    If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again.

  • HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!!!!!!

    I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!

    Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion.  I've done all that.  I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password.  I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password).  My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do.  His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume).  We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
    I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections.  They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired.  Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit.  My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely.  The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed?  I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
    Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard.  I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update.  Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

  • After updating to firefox 26.0, my bookmarks were deleted and I am unable to save new ones. I have re-dowloaded & reset firefox and that did not work.

    Before updating to 26.0 I did not have any Firefox backup account.

    Hi bmfowler,
    bookmarks are linked to your profile (irrespective of what FF version you are currently on) this profile should be left intact by an upgrade/downgrade.
    First thing I would do would to be run -> %appdata%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/ (standard profile location) to figure out whether the old profile (with the bookmarks) is still available. If so proceed with the

    I Updated my Ipad2 to IOS6 and unable to use Siri. I went to Settings> General and there was no Siri. I tried rebooting and had no luck. Any suggestions?

    Yes thank god some people felt my frustration today. When I saw it said Siri on the update I was like finally. I tried finding it after the update and was so sad and ****** that it was to good to be true. With apple being so advanced and stuff this is stupid how the I pad 2 can't have it but a phone can. So stupid.

  • Updated to IOS 7.2 this morning, now when I type, there is a long lag time.  Phone been turned off and on, and still not working properly.  Any ideas?

    I updated to 7.02 this morning, and now when I go to use the keyboard, it does not respond.  Then all of a sudden after a few seconds, all the typing shows.  Made it very hard to put in the password, and now texts are VERY frustrating as I can not even use the backspace button.
    Any ideas?

    OK - I just found this and it seemed to work.

    Careless? Possible, but unlikely. Most likely the phone was stolen from the first owner. It would be a VERY careless iPhone owner who did not erase their personal information from a phone before selling it, and to do that it is necessary to disable Activation Lock. In most places in the world knowingly using stolen property is a crime, so the fact that the phone doesn't work may be the least of one's risks.

    Originally it said that the process would take 76 minutes but after about 30 minutes there was no longer a message giving the status of the update.

    You need to contact App Store support. They are the only people who can help with account issues.

    Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

    Hello anita4323.
    I hope this will help you with your problem:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
    Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
    I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

    First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum).  We're only users like you.
    The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
    If the iphone has iOS version 7, then read through the following...

    I have updated my iPhone to iOS6.1.3 today and lost all my photos and some data(messageies) I have tried iTunes back up but still not success, please help.

    If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
    Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

  • Every time I open iPhoto, the program freezes, showing me the spinning rainbow of death.  I always need to perform a Force Quit.  I have updated my software, but that did not help.

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    Try ReSynching to iTunes.  If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC.  That should bring them back.  You can then turn on sync to cloud again. 
    You may, however, want to re-think that.  There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues.  Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
    Good Luck.
