The" location svc. " on my iPhone 4S is disabled w/out me knowing ,now I have no GPS,but everything else works fine. it all happened after the latest update from Apple . The phone asks me to put a 4digit code (I don't have) to unlock the restriction on it
Please help !
It's been almost a month that the LOCATION SERVICE on my iphne 4S has been turned off and there's a restriction on it . Which requires a 4 digit code that I don't have and no one seeme to be able to help me on this .
It all happened after I got the latest Apple iphone updates installed . Just a note here, except for some photos and camera, especially the the flash for taking pictures having the mind of it's own ( wont flash most of the time even when you turn on the flash ) , ALL OTHER FUNCTIONC SEEM TO BE WORKING OK .
I've tried backing up the phone on my computer and restoring it SEVERAL TIMES w/no success . The Apple store tried TWICE and cleared everything in my phone and we started it w/the factory settings,BUT BECAUSE I NEED TO HAVE ALL MY CONTACTS AND OTHER PERSONAL INFO'S, I HAVE TO RESTORE IT TO MY OWN SETINGS .
The problem is that when I restore the phone, it restores all my previous setting which PUTS EVERYTHING BACK IN TO MY PHONE THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE BACK UP AND KEEPS ASKING FOR THE 4 DIGIT PASS CODE AGAIN . I have no control of pick and choose what should be backed up .
I HAVE TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE CODES THAT I COULD THINK OF AND IT KEEPS LOKING ME OUT ONE HOUR AT A TIME .
Any one out there can help me w/this I would be greatful to you .

I just upgraded to ilife iphoto 09. Now when I alter images in iphoto 8.1.2 the program freezes up. I have downloaded all of the latest updates from apple, but nothing seems to correct this problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for your reply,
LuAnn
<Email Edited by Host>To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List. -
Can I get help with podcasts? When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish. everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.
The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it. -
This an IPOD I bought used. Everything else works fine. It syncs to my computer and plays my music but will not connect to the USB interface in my car. My wife's IPOD, which seems to be identical, works fine. I should say it connects but then immediately disconnects. Any ideas?
Then my last suggestion is to Reset it, while connected to the BMW Audio.
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

All my finder cursors reverted to something with less resolution when I login. Logging into the guest account does not have same issue so it's clearly account specific. Happened after 10.6.8 upgrade. Is the issue associated with Universal Access? How can I get hte cursors to back to their higher resolution?

I don't know what to do. My iPhone 4 just all of a sudden had a blank white screen. It still shows the bar at the top with the signal, time, and battery life. But the rest of the screen is white. If I touch the screen it acts like it's selecting something and gives me the choice to "Copy". It will still charge when I plug it up, but i cannot turn it off or lock the screen. I tried leaving it alone for awhile to see if it will lock on its own, like it normally would, and all it does is dim the screen. I guess im going to try to just let it die, and then see what happens, but if anyone else has any suggestions (other than taking it in to be looked at or getting a new phone) I would greatly appreciate it!
Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Is it safe to download latest update from Apple to my iphone 4
The reason I ask, is that I amd many people had a problem with an software upgrade for the 3S and I have heard that similar problems have followed after downloading the latest update. Is it safe to download the latest version or will it slow my phone and cause battery life problems that I have heard so much about?
You only read about the problems here, because people who don't have problems don't usually post. Also, if you go back in time you will see that there are problem reports after every update for the past 5 years; if you take them seriously your phone would still be on iOS version 2.1.
A few people have problems after every update. And a few people have problems not associated with any update. If you update your phone will most likely work as well or better than it did before. If it doesn't you can almost always fix any issues that arise. To minimize the chance of a problem there are a few precautions you can take before updating:
Connect to a USB port directly on your computer to update if you are not updating over the air
If you are updating over the air connect the phone to power, and make sure you have a good charge level (>50%)
Reboot your computer just before updating if not over the air
Disable your antivirus just before updating if not over the air
If using your computer click the "Check for Update" button, then choose "Download Only". This way if the download fails your phone will still be usable. After the download completes click "Check for Update" again.
For both "tethered" and over the air updates do it at a time when you are unlikely to receive push email, calendar or contact updates
Kill all 3rd party apps (in the Quick Launch ribbon) that use Notifications just before updating
Except for the first 2 the rest are being extra careful, and will be unnecessary in most caes. But they won't do any harm either. -
Over the last week or so I have been trawling the internet looking for references to weak wifi signals on the Ipad2 and was staggered by the sheer quantity of people who seem to have identical issues, not just with the ipad2 but also with the new ipad. What annoyed me most from reading the reams upon reams of comments made on the Apple community forum is the fairly large number of people who seemed to believe that 'these' people were either just moaners and wingers or else they must have something wrong with their router set-up rather than a serious fault with their ipad and it seems all because there ipad in question works like a dream.
Obviously I can only speak from my experience, and that is, I have an ipad2 32GB with wifi, purchased about 6 months ago and it works like dream with a good 2-3 bar wifi signal through 2 thick stone walls over 30 feet away. My router is a standard one supplied by my broadband supplier compatible with all 'g','b' and 'n' equipment. However, over a week ago now I bought second hand genuine ipad2 16GB with wifi from a close friend who has just purchased a new ipad3 to replace his old ipad2 (had it for over a year so no longer under warranty). When I started it up downstairs from my router, where I always use my other ipad2 which has a very strong wifi signal, I discovered that the new secondhand ipad2 I had purchased couldnt find a network signal at all. So after doing network resets and all other 'fixes' on the device recommended, I took it upstairs to my office where the router is based and found that the device could now locate the network, but the signal was lost over only 12 feet from the router!
I quizzed my good friend about this issue and he informed me that it has always been like this since he first purchased it and he never thought that it was a fault, it was just the way it was. When he first aquired the device he did think at the time that this distance was poor, but thought nothing of it as he didnt have any other ipad to measur ethe signal strength against, and as his router was in his living room anyway he nothing of it. Fair enough.
So, there we have it. One ipad2 with a very good wifi signal and another ipad2 with a very poor wifi signal running off the same router, both with the same IOS 5.0. ?
As well as all of the other isues that customers have picked up on, such as 'death grip' (which I must say does appear to happen, but personally i dont think that this is a serious issue if you are aware of this issue and have a strong signal anyway), my experience seems to be a good example of a 'duff' wifi ipad versus a 'great' wifi ipad', an issue confirmed by complaints from a fairly large number of customers who have also reported the same or similar weak wifi signals with both the ipad2 and the ipad3. So, as this shows the weak wifi signal is a very real issue it seems on a batch of ipad2 and 3's, which to my logic is obviously a hardware issue on a batch of early ipad2's and not a software one, otherwise all ipad's would suffer this problem! So, is it a faulty antenna or a faukty network card in an early batch?
So, the bottom line now is, of course, firstly, how can I get Apple to fix my other ipad2 when the warranty has run out? Any suggestions anyone?
Personally I think good Apple customer service should offer a recall with a replacement on this apparent batch of ipads, dont you?Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

Help!! The update on my airport is 6.3 I think. Shoot me!! I'm in graduate school and it's taking me all day to answer one discussion!!
Airport 6.3 utility requires ipv6 local link to work.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
But older express may not show up even then. you need to install 5.6 utility so you can access them as well.
It is tricky but if you google around there are a number of methods listed. Here is what I do.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so. -

Is anyone having trouble opening ITunes Store on IPad 2 (or other apple devices) since the latest upgrade? Mine worked for about five minutes after upgrade, and then it would not open up any longer giving me the message: "CANNOT CONNECT TO STORE"I, but I can connect to the Apps store. I synced my devices. I have latest soft wear updates on my PC and IPad. Everything worked fine before upgrade. I did a hard reset. My wifi connection was checked and rechecked. I had enough storage at the time of the upgrade. I'm not computer savvy, so please speak computer for dummies language should you be so kind to respond. Thank you in advance.
Hello LDinaz,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store on your iPad 2. For the issue you are experiencing, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPad 2:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
The last step states to sign in with another account, but for the situation you described, I recommend just signing in with your same Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend following the iOS steps in the section titled "Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)" in the following article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):
