Application Would Like To Use Your Current Location...

I keep getting that message when I launch any applications and its getting really annoying. I want to turn it off and say yes to everything, plus... when I sync my iphone to my laptop, I get a message saying "Backup Has Been Interrupted, Continue Sync?" I keep wanting to say cancel.

I heard, but haven't tested for sure, that after you click "OK" for a particular application TWICE, then it assumes you don't want to be asked again, and always allows. Seemed to work with Maps, but haven't verified for other apps yet.
Give it a try...

Reminders.app would like to use your current location.

When I set a location-based Reminder on my iPhone 5S, a window pops up on my Mavericks-iMac asking permission, "'Reminders.app' would like to use your current location," along with radio buttons offering OK or Don't Allow. I have scoured settings on my phone and on my Mavericks iMac--I should not be getting this message.
Your thoughts appreciated.

I'd suggest everyone else uses that page too. Apple probably don't read these posts so if you have something to say direct it at the iOS or OS X feedback forms.

...would like to use your current location

Every application I've installed that features location services prompts me to use my current location. Despite the claims that these messages are supposed to disappear after pressing "Okay" twice, each program continues to ask.
It seems like an unnecessary and excessive precaution. Why isn't the message going away?

Camera would like to use your current location

After 2.0 I am getting the above message every time I use my camera. What does this mean?

A big usage nowadays is location aware applications, such a flickr, you can find images that were taken close to where you are.
If you use an app like exposure for example, it will see where you're located, and find images near you, by getting the geotag information from the image.

Dismiss "(blah blah) would like to use your current location" permanently?

Is there a way to just allow ALL apps to go ahead and use my location?
Or at the least, apple apps? I dread the idea that every time I start up the camera I have to "allow" it to use my location. I don't care, go ahead, use it, just stop asking!

It's not the OS that decides when to stop it's the app...I know some iPhone Developers and they write apps that pop up this question but design it to remember that setting after a few times of asking regardless of location being on or off...some apps however, only pop up that question when location is off and after you turn it on and tap yes a few times it "should" go away...
Like when I first upgraded to 3Gs the camera app would pop up asking if I want to use location even with location on...after I think 2 or 3 times of hitting yes, now it no longer asks me that...
If you accidentally hit no may that resets the future pop ups ...that I'm not sure...
Since location is a general term and there are some apps that you'd want iPhone to use it for and others you wouldn't...even with location on you will get the question for a few times the first instances you open those apps

"X would like to use your current location, accept or deny"

Are you guys licensing UAC Tech off MS now? You guys made fun of that in their ad's but now on my iPhone I'm being asked this every time I use a location aware app or the camera.
Disabling location awareness isn't what I want to do, I actually use it for Maps etc - why can't we just default to accepting somehow?

I don't believe it remembers that at all - like I said, if you have your LOCATION SERVICES turned off - and go to use an app that requires it - it's gonna ask you if you wanna turn this feature on.
If the LOCATION SERVICES is already turned on in your settings - it won't ask you if you want to allow this as it is already turned on - go ahead and test it out yourself.
Turn off location services - and then go to Maps and locatre yourself - you'll see the message.
Now lock the phone, unlock and go back to maps and find your location again - does it ask you if you wanna turn it on - no it doesn't, because it's already on

"GadgetTrak" would like to use your current location... How do I get ride of GadgetTrak?

I'm running Yosemite 10.10 on a 2011 MacBook Pro. I upgraded to Yosemite with no problem then cleaned out my extensions including, in error, GadgetTrak's preferences pane. Now I get the above request three or four times each session. Any ideas how to get rid of it. Oddly,I'm no longer subscribing to GadgetTrak.

Well, I have all locations services disabled and have only occasionally gotten a prompt from an app which disappeared permanently after I unchecked it. You must be running an app that requires it, such as a phone or other idevice app or some setting in Facebook (I don't use Facebook, so I can't help with that). I'd check with Facebook support (if there is such a thing).

" 'App' would like to use your current location"

I can push 'Don't Allow' or 'OK' as many times as I like, but the notification won't clear and NOTHING else works! I can't even power down the iPad.

Have you tried a reset to see if it then works after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

How to reset "Use your current location" setting?

Today, I downloaded an app that when I first ran it it asked me if it "could use my current location". I mistakenly touched the "Don't Allow" selection. I really wanted the app to use my current location.
Now it is not asking me to use my current location, instead it simply states "Your location could not be determined".
I went into settings hoping that I would find the app listed there and that I could change a setting to force it to use my current location, but discovered that the app is not listed in the settings apps grouping.
I deleted the app and then went to the app store and reinstalled it, all to no avail.
Anyone got an idea about how this "use my current location" can be restored?

An easier route is to go to Settings -> General -> Location Services
It will list all the apps that can use location services and you can turn them on or off.

I would like to use your 6035E with Matlab, Data aquisition toolbox.

What drivers do I have to have to use the 6035E AD card with Matlab, Data aquisition toolbox?
thanks

You will have to check with Mathworks and see if they have a driver for that board that works with their software.

My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch. I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a different Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and Apps that she has now. How do I do this?

Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and back

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

Please locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. Hard to see.....gray lettering on a white background....so you may likely need a magnifying glass and good lighting to see it.
The model number starts with a "A" followed by four numbers. If you see A1084 or A1088, unfortunately AirPort Utility 6.x in Mavericks OS X (10.9.4) does not support these older models. However, you can still administer these models if you have a Mac.....or can borrow one for a few minutes....using Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

TS1646 I live in a foreign country and would like to use my US credit card (which has my current foreign address) to make purchase in the US App Store. How do I do this?

I live in Japan but I would like to use my US credit card to make purchases in the US Store.
I had no problems with this previously, but I recently informed my US bank of my Japanese address and changed it (had to).
There is no way to input my Japanese address (so that it matches the bank information) in the fields for the US App Store (which has no foreign country fields, you are limited to having to fill in the US state field, flags me for phone number area code differences, etc.).
When I hit the change country button: A) It took me to the Japanese App Store; B) I could not use my US credit card there (despite my Japanese address).
Yes, I may want to make purchases in the Japanese App Store in the future (I am bilingual), but the selections are different depending on the country.
Now I can make purchases in neither country.
I want to make purchases in the US Store from Japan.
Help! I feel like I am getting punished for being global. (The world should be getting smaller, more interconnected, and more convenient with the Internet --- not the opposite!)

Well, I can certainly understand the licensing argument if I were using a Japanese credit card with a Japanse address and making a purchase with Japanese yen from the US Store from Japan.
When I am making a purchase with US card from the US store with US dollars, the argument becomes a bit suspect (I know it is Apple's, not your argument).
it is just kind of a paradoxical situation and I am hoping Apple will offer some sort of solution. We can always hoe, right?
Thank you for your reply.
