App using Location Services

I am having a problem with my iPad Mini Retina NOT using location services in my local weather app. I have 2 iPads, the mini and an iPad 4 and the 4 uses location services just fine. I have checked all the settings and they are exactly the same on both iPads plus I have reset the mini and deleted the weather app and reinstalled. I did update to IOS 8 hoping somehow that would fix it but did not. IOS 8 however did not cause the issue (nor any others so far).
On the mini I do get the closest large city that I had already set as an alternate location on both. Both the primary and alternate are listed on this mini but the mini picks up the alternate instead of the location selected as the primary. I get an error message that says GPS error. Advice anyone?

Why is "genius for apps" using location services?

I noticed that in iOS 6, that there is now a "genius for apps" entry under the location -> system services. Every time I go in there it shows as having been recently used (purple), despite me not having used the App Store genius recently. It does this on both my iPad and iPhone.
What exactly is triggering this? Why does app genius need location services? Could this explain the poor battery life I'm seeing under iOS 6?

When I open iMovie it creates an alert that says iMovie cannot access the photos or videos on the iPad without Location Services being switched on. [...]
Anyway, it gives some instructions on how to change the settings to enable Location Services for iMovie, but none of the things it says to do appear in Settings. I can't enable Location Services for iMovie in Settings - Location Services, or in Settings - iMovie. I can enable the camera for Location Services, but that makes no difference to iMovie which continues to refuse to edit anything on the iPad.
The short answer is try connecting the iPad to a computer and doing the initial iPad set-up/registration via iTunes. (Maybe you can do the same thing via iTunes on the iPad.)
I had the same problem Basilisk describes, on a brand new iPad. I purchased iMovie through the App Store (directly on the iPad), but couldn't do anything with it due to the catch-22 described above. iMovie did not appear under Settings > Location Services so I could not turn on location service for iMovie.
Subsequently, I connected the iPad to my iMac and went through the first-time set-up of the iPad by iTunes. I selected some music albums and photo albums to sync to the iPad.
Back on the iPad, iMovie still did not appear in Settings > Location Services, BUT, now when I launched iMove a different dialog box appeared. Paraphrasing, it said, "iMovie wants to use your current location. This will allow iMovie to use location information in your photos and videos. Don't Allow/ Allow."
I tapped "Allow" (grudgingly) and iMovie was now usable, and it now appeared in under Locations Services.
The catch-22 situation is a bug. If the iPad setup via iTunes is indeed necessary to get around the impasse, nothing tells the user that.

How do I add an app so that it can use Location Services under Mountain Lion?

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, my VPN is no longer able to determine my location so that it can connect to the nearest gateway. I have Location Services enabled but my VPN is not listed as an app that is allowed to use it nor can I figure out a way to add it and at no time does it ever ask to use it. So how exactly do I add an app so that it will use Location Services?

HT5467 I can't find a list of all of my apps in location services. It doesn't list all of the apps like fios tv remote that I want to use location services for.

I can't find a list of all of my apps in location services. It doesn't list all of the apps like fios tv remote that I want to use location services for. I mean it doesn't list any of the apps that aren't the factory presets. How can I turn on location services for these apps?

or settings/general/restrictions then under privacy tap on location services. scroll down and it will list apps and whether this service is on/off for particular apps

My ipod touch is using location services of china and does not show the place where i am living in india.

when i use location services through wi-fi my ipod doesnt show my exact location and uses china as default location , so i am encountering problems while yousing apps like watsapp or wechat etc. plz give me a solution

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. or finds one that has it location as China. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. However, I do not know if that applies to India. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

Spotlight Suggestions always using location services iOS 8.1

Hi all,
I'm running iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5 and always have the location arrow top right of the screen. This seems to be down to "Spotlight Suggestions". As soon as I switch this off, the arrow goes and only comes on occasionally as expected. I assume this is not normal behaviour when not searching?
Has anyone else seen this issue and able to offer any resolution without disabling? Should I reset safari etc?
Many thanks
Steve

If you have Bing Web Results and/or Spotlight Suggestions turned on, it will use location services. (Settings app > General > Spotlight Search). That is normal behavior.

How do i use location service to ind my iphone?

how do i use location service to find my lost iphone?

Silica Gel usually comes in a porous bag within a perforated box. Put the bag and the phone in a ziplock bag together. If you buy loose silica gel just put it in the plastic bag, then put the phone on top of it. Try not to get the grains of silica gel in the openings on the phone, as it will be hard to get out.

Website not asking permission for using location services in Safari iOS 6

Website is not asking permission for using location services when using Safari mobile on iOS 6.0 (iPhone 4s)
Steps to replicate:
1. Go to http://maps.google.com using Safari
2. Choose "allow" to use location services
3. Close Safari and wait 1-2 minutes such that the arrow sign (in the top right) disappears
4. Go to http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 using Safari
5. The arrow sign (in the top right) appears showing that the location services are used when viewing http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 (even few hours later)
Why the site http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 is not asking permission to use location services?
The Nature journal (site: ww.nature.com) is not affiliated with Google in any way as far as I know!

I figured out how to stop this from happening. I did 3 things, and I'm not exactly sure which one of them did it because I did them all at the same time.
1. Turned on Private Browsing
2. Cleared Cookies and Data
3. Turned off JavaScript
This stopped time.com from using my location without permission.
I then turned off Private Browsing and went back to the same page, and it continued to NOT use my location.
I'm thinking JavaScript being turned off might be the solution. However, there is a bug that causes JavaScript to turn on again without permission at times:
http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/12/21/ios-6-bug-reenables-javascript-in-safa ri-without-user-consent
So just be aware of that. But hopefully doing the above works for you!

IPhone 6 Motion Calibration Always Using Location Services

hi
just received my iphone6 and is updated to ios8.
IVe noticed that the location services was constantly on so went through each item which was enabled for location sharing and disabled one by one. I discovered that under Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Motion calibration was purple. As soon as I disabled it location sharing icon switched off. As soon as i enabled it it came back on again and the purple icon showed up next to motion calibration meaning it was in use.
So my question....what is motion calibration and why is it constantly using location services??
thanks

yes i have the same question, new iphone 6, restored from icloud back-up from my iphone 5, and motion calibration is using location services very frequently. it doesn't appear to be draining my battery to badly, but id just like to know exactly what its doing so i can know whether or not i want to keep it on. turning it off until i know exactly whats its doing.

I lost my iPod touch in a club last Saturday. Was on, had a passcode on it but I didn't have Find My iPhone installed. I'm not sure if this is correct information, but an Apple store clerk said that I would still be able to track it if I had registered it with iCloud, which I have done
What you needed to have already done was to have went to Settings>iCloud and turned FindMyiPod on.
. The problem is, though, even if this information is true, how will I be able to find it? It's an iPod touch with no GSM/CDMA capabilities. Therefore, it cannot be found unless it was connected to Wi-Fi.
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. Thus, wifi has to be on.
But how would that be possible unless the person who found it knows my passcode?
Wifi just has to be on and connected to report its postition to you by going to icloud.com as explained in a previous reply.
I'm guessing that if the person wipes and restores the device, I will have no way of finding it... unless it works off the serial number?
If the iPod is restored, you can no longer find it via icloud.com. I uses turning FIndMyiPod on, not the SN,.
Thanks.

HT4995 Internationally using Location Services without having data charges. What settings should use on my iPhone 5?

I'm traveling to Europe and I want to use Location Services without having data charges. What settings should use on my iPhone 5? I want to be able to use Trip Advisor City Guides Application to tour around cities for free. I have a Verizon International Plan for my trip, but it is still pricey. I would like to keep my iPhone cell services on for incoming calls, but I want to prevent international data charges. Thanks for your help!

You don't "choose" to use th 3g network.
If you have paid for it in your plan and 3g coverage is available, your phone will automatically use it when necessary.
3g provides faster internet speeds than 2g, so you can watch video or download stuff faster. Wifi is normally faster than 3g.
Your iphone gps is "assisted", meaning it uses network data to calculate your position.
Also, you would still need the network to download maps, directions etc as they are not on your device.

Siri always using location services?

I do not know if it is supposed to be like this but i just noticed it this morning the location services icon in the upper right is always on. I went to settings to see what was using it and it was Siri. Is this supposed to be like this? Thanks.

Yes, Siri uses Location Services extensively.

I lost my iPad 3, using location services and know exactly where there device at. I called police, they show up at that house

I lost my iPad 3, using location services and know exactly where there device at. I called police, they show up at that house, owner denied he doesn't have it. I even show officers on my iPhone where the missing iPad at and send message, face time, etc. But officers said owner don't let's they go inside the house, they can't help me to recover it???!!!
Are officers doing enough or they didn't do it enough to help me recover my missing iPad?
Thanks...

I don't think Apple's Find My [xxx] has been legally tested as constituing probable cause to issue a search warrant by the DA, so the cops can't go in without an invite. You'll need a good lawyer to go in and force new jurisprudence to occur. By which time, the iGadget will be long gone from the place.
Price to pay for living under the Rule of Law. In shadier parts of the planet, you could get a pack of goons to go in, retrieve the item and pound some common sense into the miscreant.
