- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing

  • Performance Issues with Location Services

    I am having performance lag issues with most apps with location services turned on. This is a new issue that has crept up after update to iOS 4.2.1. Apps get slow and upon exiting the location service is still active as indicated by arrow icon in top right of screen. Any recommendation short of killing all location services? Note this even occurs in apple apps such as photos.

    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

    Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

    The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge.  You've done good things.  Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
    Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use.  A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

  • I received this error today "unable to communicate with locator service to retrieve available files"

    We use CSM to push out IPS updates and we recieved this error when we tried to manually retrieve the IPS update from Cisco.com. I wonder if the CCO server is having issues again because this happened last month when it rejected requests for updates. We did recieve the same error "Unable to communicate with locator service to retrieve files." at that time as well.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    This error is usually due to problems with the CCO server.  Are you able to ping www.cisco.com from the CSM server?  What ip address does ww.cisco.com resolve to?  The problem could be a transient issue so do you get the same error if you try the IPS update again?

  • Can't turn on reminder at a location with location services restriction.

    I think I may have found a bug, or at least unintended functionality.
    I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.  When I turn on location restrictions (Settings > General > Restrictions > Location > Don't Allow Changes -- note that in this list Reminders is set to ON, which means that location services is ENABLED for this app), then create a new reminder in the reminders app, then try to have it remind me at a location, the "At a Location" switch is disabled, not allowing me to create a reminder with a geofence alert.
    When I change the setting to "Allow Changes", the "At a location" switch in Reminders is re-enabled.
    Interesting thing is that it works just fine if I create a reminder at a location using Siri.
    I'd like to be able to keep the "Don't Allow Changes" restriction on as, if my phone is stolen, I don't want people to be able to turn off location services, thus blocking Find My iPhone.
    Anyone else can reproduce/confirmt hat this is a bug?

    Hate to burst your bubble here, but all a thief has to do is turn your phone off to defeat "Find My Phone". This is common knowledge. Once turned off, a quick restore in iTunes & then listed on eBay or Graigslist.

  • Possible fix for problems with Location Services!!!!

    Alright, I had just bought a brand new iPod Touch 5th Generation and was having trouble with any app that used Location services (Siri, Weather, Maps, etc) and it was driving me absolutely crazy. Now, I live in a very VERY rural area in Pennsylvania (basically the middle of nowhere) and my new iTouch kept saying "cannot determine location" no matter what app I was using that utilized Location Services. After 4-5 days straight of searching various websites looking for help (including this one), I came up completely empty handed and had pretty much given up on getting it to work correctly. Somewhere along the line, I found out about Skyhook Wireless and the process for adding my wireless network to their database. I thought to myself "What the heck? It can't hurt to at least try..." even after reading on multiple websites that Apple no longer works with Skyhook. So I gave it a shot,..
    I went to the following website: http://skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
    I entered my address into the first empty text field and then clicked the "MAP IT" button.
    It deteremined where I was (pretty darn accurately if I say so myself) so I moved on and entered my Wireless Router's MAC Address in the corresponding field.
    Then I entered my email address in the corresponding field, completed the CAPTCHA, and hit "SUBMIT".
    I received an email a few moments later from Skyhook letting me know they had successfully received my submission and then I sat back for a few moments, crossing my fingers and hoping for the sake of my sanity that it had worked.
    After about an hour or so, I tried to get my local weather using the Weather app that comes pre-installed on iOS. Still, it couldn't find my current location. the Maps app gave me the same result.
    I sat here planning my next course of action and came up with...you guessed it....nothing!
    I said screw it and went about my business for the day. A few days went by and I was visiting a very good friend of mine and I had my iTouch with me. Now my friend lives even further in the sticks than I do but for some unknown and shocking reason, my location services worked PERFECT at their house (every single app I tried that in one way or another used Location Services, it worked every time) so I asked my friend if it would be alright with them to go grab my wireless router and switch with them for a day or two, just as a last ditch effort for the sake of science and my own sanity. They said it wouldn't be a problem at all. So we traded wireless routers for a day or two.
    Upon hooking their router up at my house and using the Weather & Maps apps, it still showed up that I was still at their house and showed the local weather for the town that was nearest to them. I was like "Hey, it's better than nothing!" so I left it go for a day or two.
    Upon arriving at my friends house to grab my original router and give them back their original router, I checked my iTouch and, lo & behold, it showed my home as my current location and the correct local weather for the city/town closest to my home address, even though I was at their house. I felt so dumbfounded and almost cried because I had actually gotten it to work. I unhooked my original router, hooked my friend's back up, and it showed up that I was exactly where I was supposed to be - at my friend's house.
    I brought my original router back to my house, hooked it up and Cha-CHING! It WORKED!!!!! It showed that I was at my house and showed the correct local weather.
    And there you have it, How I was able to solve my location services woes.
    I'm not saying it will help out everybody else's location service problems but it is worth a shot, it worked for me.
    If this DOES help anyone else out, please reply so as to confirm that it wasn't just me that it works for.

    Thank you @sberman for a fast replay, I read the article, but still it doesn't explain why it doesn't show at least that I'm in Europe,while my android phone,having set just wifi as location reference, shows my position at 1km accurately(I don't live in a city,that's why such a big radius) in Google Maps.I also saw the time zone, if I set it automatically,detection through wifi doesn't work, it just keeps refreshing.

  • Problem with Location Services in Flight Mode

    Hi!
    Several times before it happened, that the Location Services symbol appeared in the status bar during Flight Mode and only disappeared several minutes after leaving Flight Mode. Up til now this never posed a problem as I usually plug in my Z10 over night.
    Yesterday before going to bed I had 30% left and thought, that this would be sufficient to survive the night and that i'll plug it in in the office. Alas, I was woken up at arround 6am by my phone turning itself off.
    When I looked at the Device Manager i found something quiet startling: During the whole time Flight Mode was active (approx. 23:00 - 0600), Location Services where active as well, draining the remaining 30% of battery. (See pictures)
    My Device is a Z10STL100-3, OS is 10.2.1.3175.
    No App was running nor was an Active Frame open.
    Does anyone have a clue, why this happened or what caused this? Anyone with similar experiences?
    And more important: how can i fix this?
    Kind regards,
    Uwe

    I saw a resemblance to a user in the Spanish forum mistake is perhaps as happens on the foursquare application was always working and location feature enabled.

  • Help with Location Services.

    Just got an iPad (MD510LL) The device can't determine my location, on any app. Everything that is suppose to be on, is set. I even went as far as reseting all settings and still no cigar. I have access to the internet and I have no issues in that department. I am using an air card with Verizon.

    You say you have a screenshot.... could you upload it please?

  • What is wrong with location services?

    Maps, weather and a few other apps are either saying I live the other side of the dartmoor national park or back where I used to live 280 miles away. Is there anything I can do about this or are we still waiting for apple to sort out a fix please?

    I'll bet money the problem is with your router's location reporting. Try changing the SSID on the router, if you have not done so. If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until Apple's database is updated with the router's new location. Same issue exists with Skyhook, Google, etc. The all maintain a database of router locations. Sometimes changing the SSID & resetting the router fixes things because it becomes a new entry in the database.

  • Can't get Craigslist pro to send me notifications on my searches, tried the basics with location services...tried setting up alerts as opposed to banner...no luck...tried setting up push rather than fetches, no luck please help

    Help with Craigslist pro notifications

    Lets run down a list of possibilities:
    1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
    2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
    3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
    4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

  • 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.

  • Location services shows wrong location

    I have an iPhone 5 with latest iOS. I live in Kennesaw GA. I installed xfinity Internet at my new home.
    When my phone is connected to wifi, it shows the current location as charleston SC.   This is for any app that uses the GPS.
    My wife has an iPhone 4S with latest iOS and her current location is correct when connected to wifi.
    So I find it strange that my phone shows my current location as Charleston.
    When I turn off the wifi, the current location is correct.
    If anyone has experienced the same problem please respond.

    Improving GPS accuracy
    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) are not 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.

  • Location Services in Reminders - Not Working

    I'm having issues with my Location Services for my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.3. Whenever I try and tell Siri a command such as, "Remind me to grab my checkbook when I get home." Siri always responds, "Before I can do that, you'll need to enable Reminders on your iPhone's Location Services."
    The problem is that I've enabled the Location Services on Reminders over and over and over again, and yet, anytime I try and get Siri to set up a reminder, it always disables the Location Services behind the scenes and gives the same response, "Before I can do that...".
    I can manually input a request with Location Services for Reminders. It's only when I try and use Siri to set up a reminder, that I have any issues.
    Anyone else

    Responding to an old thread here, but this is because of the way applications that use location services also use the data from Skyhook...
    Skyhook is a service that records the MAC addresses of Cell Base stations/towers and wireless access points.
    Google Maps vehicles records the wireless AP data at the same time they get street view images.
    There was some controversy over this - but they effectively record the location and the MAC address of any AP they find as they drive round. This gets sent to a massive database at Skyhook and is used to either locate without GPS or enhance/aid the GPS information. It's also why the location is always the road outside!
    If your location/MAC relationship has not been mapped by Skyhook, Google or others - then the good news is that you can add it - although it can take a month or two at least - to work. The reason is that it depends which database is being used by Skyhook's clients..
    Add your Wireless Access Point (or Wireless Router) here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
    The main website for Skyhook is here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com
    Hope that helps...!

  • Having Problems with Location finder

    Since 4.0 update my location finder does not work on home network. Tried it on a public network and it works. Anybody else had this problem and did you find a solution.

    Many people (myself included) noticed that Location Services stopped working with the upgrade to iOS 4.0. The symptom is that Maps and other apps say "Your location could not be determined." even in areas that used to work. The problem is that starting in iOS 3.2 and iOS 4.0, Apple switched from using the SkyHook location database to using their own. Whereas the SkyHook database had the ability for users to add their own WiFi access points, Apple does not have anyway for us to do that.
    I just spent over an hour on the phone with Apple Support senior advisors, who initially wanted to restore my unit or even replace it (neither of which would have fixed it), until I found the news reports about Apples new location database. Eventually, I found a senior advisor who was able to track down the problem and admitted that, yes, since the switch from SkyHook to Apple's own database, many WiFi access points no longer work with location services. "Apple is working on the problem, and eventually it will be fixed, although there isn't any time estimate." I asked specifically if this meant that Apple was going to allow users to add their own WiFi access points, and she said "Yes."
