Map directions won't load unless using current location

Does anyone else have this problem with the Maps app?
If I map a location, then ask for directions to or from my "current location," the routes display immediately. But if I try to use any other location (for example, from my contacts), it displays a "Loading..." message and stalls. This happens even with a strong wi-fi connection.
This is an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1 with Verizon. My Maps app is using the standard view without traffic.

Mine doesn't stall under your exact scenario... it displays the route(s) immediately.
Try shutting down the Maps app..
From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
Press the red to delete the Maps app from this list.
Press the home button twice when done.
Restart Maps and try again
Also, try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

App Store won't load when using our wifi

App Store won't load when using wifi

So I'm having this problem with my Ipod 5th gen. I tried absolutely everything but the router suggestions. Mainly because this problem isn't just at home, it's everywhere. I can connect to every free wifi or pass-worded wifi (with the correct password) just fine. But I can't access the internet or apps using the internet at all. Full signal like everyone else. Just no results. Took every tip in this forum and nothing has worked. Even tried deleting the apps that weren't working and re-installing just to make sure it wasn't just a crappy connections with the internet. NOTHING! Someone please help? I'm starting to think it might just be the antenna or the fact that it's about 2 years old and kind of abused. It's been working up until I recovered it after 2 1/2 months of being last in the mix of pants that were packed away. Didn't get washed or anything just had the battery die while it was sitting there. Found it yesterday and starting today I can't access Safari, Youtube, the App Store, or anything else that requires an internet connection. What should I do? Should I take it in to the Apple Store and get it checked out? Or is there something I can do by myself?

My ipad 2 won't find it's current location since router change.

My ipad 2 32gb wifi won't find it's current location. I've recently changed my old router from orange with a new one from orange and now my ipad can't find current location. I've looked at the settings for both the ipad and the router and should all work. Help?

Try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.
If that doesn't fix the problem then go to Settings>General>Reset, then Reset Network Settings.

I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone help me find where to change location?

As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected. Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database. If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location. I don't think that there is anything you can do about it. You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

SSRS 2008 r2 - the Report Manager won't load unless "/Reports" is added to the DNS entry in address bar

Need some direction, please.
We are moving off SSRS 2005 to a new server with SSRS 2008R2. The old installation (2005) a DNS entry was created "reports" with the ip address and port number simple. In the Configuration manager the Report Manager Virtual Directory
is "Reports". Website is Default web site. Typing "reports" into the address bar opens up report manager. When this is done the address shows as reports/reports/pages/folder etc.
The new installation is configured the same(?). DNS entry "reports2" with new ip address and port number. In the Configuration manager the Report manager URL virtual directory is "Reports" URLs: =
http://servername:port/Reports. The issue is when typing "Reports2" into the address bar the report manager won't open unless "reports" is added to the dns name i.e. http://reports2/reports
is entered.
This thread took me to more like kind thread than my searches. Went into IIS in the default web site I added an htm file with a redirect. Then started it, it works. Maybe due to my inexperience but seems counter intuitive as I thought Reporting Services did
away with any reliance on IIS.

Hi Urquhart,
According to your description, if you type "Reports2" in the browser, then you want to redirect to the report manager homepage in SSRS 2008 R2, right?
In Reporting Services 2008 R2, it uses HTTP.SYS for HTTP access and it’s independent of Internet Information Server(IIS). The role for HTTP.sys in Reporting Services is that, HTTP.sys receive the user's request, and then send it to report server. Report
Server handle the request(e.g. authenticate the users), and then use HTTP.sys the send HTTP responses again. In a word, HTTP.sys is just a driver, which allow us to communicate the clients(browser) with Report Server without Microsoft Internet Information
Server(IIS).
So, since HTTP.SYS doesn’t provide URL redirection function, we are not able to redirect "Reports2" to report manager homepage by default. If we want to use redirect function, we should add a .html file in IIS to redirect the user to the report
manager.

Internet won't work unless using network diagnostics, every 5 minutes

MacBook 2,1 - 10.6.8
In the header I already described my problem and it's a REALLY weird problem.
So if I restart my MacBook I can go browse for about 1-10min, then it just keeps loading and if you wait endless it gives me a network error message. When I use Safari it point you to the "network diagnostics" software, which I found very helpful, because when I just keep pressing next Internet works again all of a sudden?!? BTW the last two indicators are most likely always red or yellow (Internet and Server), everything else is green. It's not a problem with my WIFI either, because I can see other network devices AND … now comes the funny part, IT WORKED BEFORE!!
It always worked flawlessly before, before I made a Backup of my current state (just updated to 10.6.8 and made a Time Machine Backup), because I wanted to make a fresh install. I deleted my partition and tried to install 10.7 from an external HD. The problem is Lion needs at least 2GB of Ram, otherwise it won't let you install it.
OK. So I got my 10.6 image and put It on my external drive again, started it up and made a fresh install.
After the install it asked me if I want to restore anything from a old Mac or a Time Machine backup, which I did (restored everything, from settings to apps). Of course some Apps didn't work like MacAppStore (requires 10.6.8) so I tried to make a software update which was a PAIN IN THE A**, because it always stopped after several minutes but kept trying to download (until several minutes it gave me an connection error). "SOLUTION" using network diagnostics and klick all the way throught and all of a sudden the download continued (if it haven't timed-out already). SO… the problem was there already after the fresh install of 10.6 and continued after install the 10.6.8 Combo and any other update!…
WHAT THE HECK?!?…
so for the guys who don't want to read throught all my story:
Internet (over Wifi) keeps dropping (every 5 min) until I run network diagnostics every time! (worked before!!)… only after fresh 10.6 install and TM-backup restore.
And NO, I DOUBT that my router is the problem, because it worked before and this problem occurs on all Wifi networks.
Also no settings changed (DHCP as before, IP and everything else are fine).
This problem is REALLY annoying. Thanks for your help!

Not too sure but had a problem like this once, try deleting your current "location" in Network Settings and just make a new one with some new name. ("this ain't Kansas anymore" conclusion: some part of your software, drivers or frameworks suddenly thinks its in some strange environment, "coincidentally" by the same old name, but definitely, now, somewhere else)

Maps - picks up my old address as current location

Opened maps in Mavericks for the first time and it asked me if it could use my current loaction which I agreed to. It shows my current location as my previous address which I left about a month ago. I'm not sure where it is picking this up from. I checked contacts and my home address was reflecting the new one. I clicked on "show map" with the contacts application and it went to my new address. Any ideas? Thanks

Try this:
* Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “OFF”
* Locate yourself using the iPhone 3G’s GPS receiver in the maps app.
* Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “ON”

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS now my maps application always gives me the wrong current location. It worked fine before it was updated during my last sync. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 3GS 16gb not jailbroken, that I just synced and updated to the latest fix. Before my google maps was working perfectly but since I updated it always gives me a current location that is about a half mile off in any direction. I have tried several hard resets to no avail. turning off my wifi, nothing. Turning off my location services-reset-then turn them back on, again nothing. Tried resetting network settings with the auto lock on never. Rebooted.. Nothing again..
Help!!! What's the score here? What comes next?

yes, you can update to the latest iOS, that would be the first thing AppleCare would have you do
doing a restore and then putting your information right back on the device is not a troubleshooting step. If anything, you wipe out the issue and then have put it right back on your phone. It would be better to restore as new

How Can I Make my iPhone Use Current Location for Facebook App??

It did ask me "facebook would like to use your current location." But i clicked on "dont allow" button because i did not know what it was for..now I cant use this location section thing where to post for the Facebook since I denied it..how can I enable it for Facebook??

Go to settings, Location Services, then scroll down to the Facebook icon then click on.

Firefox won't load when using desktop/start menu icons but loads when starting off links in emails

When I try to start Firefox by the start menu, desktop or any other icon Firefox opens but then freezes and won't respond at all.
If I go to an email and then click on a link than Firefox will open and then load as normal and I can then go about using Firefox.
This has only be happening for the last few days and I have tried all the trouble shots and nothing has changed.

I Have this problem too. won't even start when dbl click the .exe file directly either. but a link in another app or email works fine. I have tried all the stuff here and uninstalled and reinstalled countless times. Using new profile, disabling Norton firewall and antivirus for the installs, only thing that worked was going back to v3.6. and a real early thunderbird too (it was also crashing on starting) Was fine for about three weeks then updated them, The went in stages not all at once and was fine till the newest group of versions. then went back to crashing. this time backgrading did not work. I installed the newest versions Firefox & Thunderbird many more times and by accident found that fresh after a install could open TB first and click a link in a email and FF started ok.
but still will not start from desktop or windows explorer
It is ridiculous to have to open another app to click on a link you don't want to get to where you do want. What is the difference in the links.
ks
also would not start in safe mode or a completely new install.
V.17.0 is the FF thats installed now and at least works as long as I don't try to open it
from desktop or windows explorer, more than a little nervous about going to v.20.

Web pages won't load unless I move my cursor

Is there anyone out there that can really help me? This problem as evident by others who have posted the same concerns is not malware but with the newer versions of Firefox. At one time I uninstalled my Firefox and reinstalled an older version and didn't have the problem anymore. I believe my computer automatically updated to a newer version and this the reason for the problem. I don't want to do that again as I lost all my bookmarks etc. Is it time for me to start using a different browser? I hope not, as I have always been very happy with Firefox.
I updated to the newest version of firefox and when firefox opens in won't open web pages unless I constantly move my cursor. I running XP. I tried to restore my computer back a few days so as to utilize the older version of firefox, but I ran into another error message. I know this has been a problem for many and I know it has nothing to do with XP as it was running fine before. Please help.

Does anyone know why some Apps won't load unless I buy a new App?

I've been following a couple of threads. It seems some users, myself included, have a problem where certain Apps will not load. They simply start to open and then return back to the Home screen immediately. When it happens to me (maybe once per week) it's always the same Apps which refuse to load, and they ALL do it - Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Shareplus all stop working. The reported fix from all users is to go to the AppStore and either update, or buy another App - even a free one. Then all Apps work again properly. It started happening for me after upgrading to iOS 5 but many users had the same issue prior to iOS 5.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to find myself out of 3G signal, or abroad when I've turned Data off, and unable to use my Apps. The fix is useful, but I can't understand why we even need a fix. Suggestions?

Have you tried a full reset when this happens? This happens to me on rare occasion and a reset fixes things.

Pages won't load unless I move mouse! GRR!

Whenever I click on anything... either opening a program, clicking on a link, trying to watch a video... unless I am moving my mouse constantly, it will not continue doing what it should be doing. I don't know what else to say. I'm super frustrated. Appreciate your help on this, I've already wasted enough of my day trying to solve it on my own.

OS Tiger won't load store using itunes 9

I know this issue has been brought up in other threads, but I can't seem to locate a fix. Has either Apple or someone out there in Apple land figured out how to get around the problem of not being able to download the correct version of Safari in order to use the itunes store. I am truly surprised Apple would suggest to Tiger users to download itunes 9.0 when it doesn't allow us to go the itunes store. I'd upgrade to Snow Leopard, but it won't work on my iBook G4. If there is a fix, please provide me the link. If Apple has offered an updated/download which fixes this problem, please provide the download link. Or, maybe this is still an ongoing problem.
Thanks so much! Sorry for having to repeat a topic already mentioned.
Michael

This page gives you a choice to download Safari 4.0.3 for Leopard or for Tiger. http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

Camera drivers won't load , unless booting from OS 9

I am trying to use a Fuji Luma2 digital back on my Hasselblad camera; the software that controls the camera thru the firewire only works by booting from OS 9.
When running the application on OS 9 classic the main features (take picture) appear ghosted (disable)
at launching application, get error message:
"an error occurred while trying to contact the luma family extension error (-2804)
reinstall the software and try again."
I have reinstalled the app. a number of times; deleting preferences, etc. still does not work. I have tried other computers as well. It is the same .
the only time that the camera back is controllable thru the firewire interface is by booting from os 9.
This limits my choice of computer for locacion work.
Any insight or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Regards..

I spent an hour or so, trying to find out some help on this Fuji Luma medium format camera back. Mosaic Imaging produced the software to drive the device, and although their site is still up and running, it doesn't look like it's been updated in 7 years.
Mosaic Engineering still provide servicing for the Luma device, but there didn't seem to be much sign of activity for the software.
I was really hoping to find notice of a USB2 cable and driver, but nothing. I did find lots of reviews of the Luma II.
Although the Hasselblad is top quality kit, the Luma II only offers an 11MP output.
And I can't be sure if this is a true 11MP sensor, or a 5.5MP / 6MP sensor with 11MP output. Fuji were infamous for claiming their camera backs had twice their actual resolution, and under review it was difficult to tell the difference between a 6MP device and a Fuji 12MP device.
So my point is that it might be time to upgrade, either a new MF camera back, or go full digital, Nikon D3, or the new D700 (grr, just bought my D300), or the allegedly upcoming D3x with 24MP sensor.
Whatever you get, (if you make a change) you'll find the Mac is very well supported, and I was amazed to find, exceptionally well supported by Fuji. It appears that the OSX driver issue with the Luma II is more due to the age of the Luma II.
Just one more link, which you may have already in your favs:

I can find more if you need them.
