"Maps" unable to determine location after installation of "iOS4" software..

With the previous version of ipod touch software, "Maps" had no problem determining my location when at home on my Wi-Fi. Now that I have installed the latest iOS4 software, Maps is completly unable to determine my location at home. Any ideas?

I posted this in another thread on location services and have modified it slightly here. I also believe (based on my own experiences) that wifi signal reception is not as good as it was pre-iOS 4.
I have been having the problem also. I have a possible explanation. Under iOS4 the atenna power seems to be reduced. How do I know? Because I can no longer connect in locations where I could under 3.1.3. I also see fewer networks in the list of detected networks. Furthermore, apple has disabled any apps which acted as wifi scanners. If these apps were still available, it would be easy to see the reduced range under the new OS. I also lose my connection at home more often (e.g. at the far end of the house, away from the router). I think that location services will work if you have more than one network is detected and/or one has to have a registered address. In more densely populated areas you used to have more networks detected, I used to be able to see networks from neighbors in my suburban when at home in my suburban neighborhood. Now, the number of detected networks is more limited. The result is poorer location determination. This is just my theory based on my observation of poorer network detection for my device and from what others have reported. Was this an unannounced way that Apple tried to limit battery drain?
Since Apple does not release details on "secret" changes in their OS, we are limited to guesswork and have virtually no hope of a meaningful response from them.

My time/calendar can't determine location. Was fine before now says unable to determine location

I need some help in getting my clock/calendar to work again. Was fine till recently then reverted back to 2000 with messed up time. Tried to use set time automatically function but says unable to determine location. Went to manually set time zone, date and time but the time now wanders off and does seem to properly keep time. Anyone know what I can do to get the auto function to work again?

Hey Man I have the same problem, One day the screen just went black and from then onwards it has been reall problematic, I went to the apple store but they wanted about 100 bucks to have a look at it, although they did a diagnostic for free, but it didnt reval anything.
They said it was either the screen or the graphics card, and each one cost 750USD but 100USD to find out which........ I didnt fork out the cash though, a bit expensive!!!!!!!
However I did get the computer back up and running, by holding Opt on start up, mostly it goes to the f**king dark blue screen with the vertical lines. But every 10 to 15 goes I can get to the disk utility, If you run the repair disk and repair premonitions, then start up again it should boot up, you may get a day or two out of it before BOOM back the blue screen of vertical death.
I believe its the graphics thats busted, (which is soldered to the logicboard) so the only to fix it according to the apple guys is to get a new one at 750USD and about 2 weeks to get it done. here is a app called gfxCardStatus, and it tells you which card ur using (there is 2) when the card switches the computer crashes, you can set the app to only use the "Intrergrated card" but you cant watch movies or iweb, camera, just web browsing and text stuff....... the other HD card does all the other heaver graphic processing............
I hope this helps, but all in all, lots of people have had the same problem and Apple have not declared it a fault on there part, they boast about the quality of there products but in essence my last macbook died suddenly........ I invested in a macbookpro (early 2011) the graphics card is broke, the trackpad doesnt work properly and the screen has screenburn all over the edges and sides........... Seriously!!!! and the reply was buy another computer from the apple guys!!!!!! Pretty disappointed.

Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3. Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

Hi, after installation of itunes software from Apple website, After installation, when i enter the "Accept" Button in the Software Licenece Agreement Terms

Hi, after installation of itunes software from Apple website successfully, when i enter the "Accept" Button in the Software Licence Agreement Terms & Conditon, I get error message "Tunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". I am having windows XP in my PC. I have tried to remove & reinstall, temporarily suspended by anti virus software, but still getting the same error message

Generate another of those error messages and click the "Click here" link in the error message box. What modname and modver are showing for the error? (Precise spelling please.)
If the error is a BEX and thus doesn't show an modname or modver, let us know what P1 through P9 items are showing for you instead.

IPad mini: unable to determine location.

Just got an iPad mini wifi 16 gig. LOVE IT! But for some reason it's unable to determine my location in ANY location based app (including apple maps). I've made sure that I have location services turned on. Any one have an idea of what the deal is?

I have heard this type of discussion before that something needs to be registered. I have DSL and know somebody else that has DSL from the same provider. He lives in a small town and I live rural. His location services works on his iPad at his home and so does mine when I am at his location but not at my rural home location. So I know it cannot be that the DSL provider network needs to be registered. There is another issue - maybe still a registration but not just the provider. Any ideas? I really would like to get this figured out. There are quite a few apps that try to determine my location and cannot.

"Cannot Determine Location" after upgrading to iOS 6.1

After upgrading to iOS 6.1 all the applications that rely on location can no longer update the location, they show the old location before the update. I tested the apple map, google map and earth applications and all behave same. I flipped and flopped settings->privacy->location services but no change.
Anyone else having the same problem?

Solved it! A full power down and up cycle solves the problem.

Any app in OS X Mavericks unable to detect location after updating

I'm using MacBook Air (late 2013) & OS X Maverick 10.9.3 on it. I'm facing to this problem since I updated to 10.9.2 from 10.9.1.
Like no any app from Maps, Twitter, Facebook is able to detect location. Earlier it was able to. Mean, when I click on Current Location button nothing happens on Menu bar earlier there used to appear sign like this (➤). I connect to internet strictly through the WiFi so not any problem with that. In Systm Prefrences Location service is also enabled. So very frustrated, Please help me.

2 things you could try.
1. If you go to Google Maps, is that able to locate your location?
2. Do you have access to another computer or smartphone that can use your wireless network to determine your location, without relying on cell towers? For example, if you have an iPhone, if you put the phone into airplane mode and then turn the Wi-Fi back on, it will only search thru your wi-fi network. Can it determine your location by that means? If so, at least the Wi-Fi router can be discounted as part of the problem.

UCS ESX5.1 with VNX5300 unable to SAN-boot after installation

Hi All,
We have a scenario here, which EMC support claim that they've see this elsewhere.
There is 1 units of CISCO UCS B200 M1 (Palo) with 4 Blades connecting to CISCO Fabric Interconnect 6120XP.
CISCO Fabric Interconnect 612XP has configured with UPLINK to Brocade Switch 5100B.
Meanwhile, VNX5300 is connecting to Brocade Switch 5100B.
Findings:
1. WWN of the Storage and Blades appear on SAN Switches
2. Zoning between 4 Blades and VNX5300 done, initiator of Blades is not appear in UNISPHERE.
3. Have to manually registered initiator for the Blades in the Unisphere
4. Assign LUNS (VNX5300) to the Blades. Blades detected the LUNS.
5. Installed ESX on boot LUNS. But when we wanted to boot up the ESX host, it shows LUN not detected & can’t boot-up the ESX host.
Highlighted issue and concern as below:
1. Why WWN of the Blades not appear on UNISPHERE?
2. Why during ESX boot up, LUN is not detected?
Any suggestion..? Thanks!
Rgds,
Nazri

sounds like a zoning issue, WWPNs of vHBAs should show up in the Storage System Connectivity status window in Unisphere. For new hosts in a boot from SAN configuration you have to register them manually because there isn't yet an OS there to auto-register. This can be automated with naviseccli.exe.
Each ESXi host in a boot from SAN configuration will need a unique Storage Group and Boot LUN assigned to the storage group. The boot LUN host ID must match what is configured in UCSM on the boot policy.

Unable to use Bluetooth after updated to iOS4.2

I've updated my iphone4 to iOS4.2 however since then my bluetooth function is not available. Normally you can turn it on or off but I am unable to do this at all (General > Bluetooth). Has Apple changed this setup of how this works in OS4.2?

Restarted the device and it appears to be working again.

Re: NB100-11R: Black screen after installation of Vodafone software

Since installing the Vodafone software to be able to go into the internet, my screen stays black.
The netbook runs the fan goes well it's just the typical noises when booting.
I do not know what there may be broken.
Would need help, have you a hint what can be?
Thank you

Hi
It seems that this software muddled your OS.
Try this;
Boot the notebook and press F8. Usually the Advanced Boot Menu should appear.
Now you should choose option: Last Good configuration.
You can also try to boot the notebook in safe mode. The option can be chosen also in Advanced Boot Menu
Check this.

Satellite L450D not responding after installation of camera software

Hello,
I've just this month bought a L450D back from the UK. Yesterday I tried installing Olympus Digital Camera Software but once installed wouldn't work. Olympus site claim is compatible with Windows 7 but I decided to uninstall software. I'm wondering if I uninstalled something I shouldn't have because not responding now.
I've got a message - Windows Explorer has stopped working with 2 options: Check online for a solution and restart the program or Restart the Program
Problem is curser wont respond with the touchpad. Tried FN + F9 a couple of times with no response. Connected mouse, curser moves but wont respond to comand
Any ideas?

Hi
That means the Olympus Camera Software is causing this problem?
Hmm Have you tried uninstalling the software in safe mode? Therefore go in advanced boot menu (F8) and select safe mode. Then try uninstalling Olympus software usual.
Furthermore you can try uninstalling with special tools like CCleaner. I often use it because it cleans the registry and others.
Check this!!

Ipod touch 5 unable to determine my location .

I am a ipod touch 5 user . It is unable to determine location ! I asked my ISP to allow location service but they told me that there is no such other service !!!! Now what to do ! I am unable to locate or share my location !!! I have a bsnl broadband connection for internet !!!!!

Is Location Services turned on in Settings>Privacy?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds
