HT1975 iphone 4S: Why are my location service settings greyed out?

I can find my location settings on my iPhone 4S, but both overall and settings for particular apps are greyed out. I need to turn location services on for a particular app to work. Can anyone help me?

Are some location services restricted?
Check Settings > General > Restrictions

Reminder location service is pointless

If you want to set a reminder to do something when you are in a specific location, you must BE IN THAT LOCATION TO SET IT.
This kind of defeats the point, and makes the location service in reminders nothing more than a gimmick.
What we need to be able to do is set an address in the reminder.
That way we would be able to set reminders for locations before we go to the location.
I would love to be able to set a reminder that says...
When I go to the supermarket, I must buy a litre of milk. If I'm already at the supermarket and setting a reminder to buy milk, I may as well just buy the **** stuff while I'm there LOL.
Come on Apple, make this a defining feature of IOS 5 and not just a gimmick.

IMO, the worst part is that you can not choose a random location from maps via pin drop. Even if you could put in a custom address, this would not be enough for me. You must know or look up the address. If i am on my way to or from somewhere and i need to be reminded while on the road and i don't know the name of a place/store/location but know that it sits somewhere on RT1x, i want to be able to go to google maps, drop a pin anywhere and use that pin as the location for a reminder. That way, i am driving home and as i get close enough or pass by the location it will remind me. It is extremely disappointing that Apple would not think of these simple things or fix them bofore release. They made people wait for the 4s too long as it is and had enough time to deal with atleast the major selling points of the phone.

Why are my location services not working?

I received a new iPod touch yesterday, and it is now running iOS 5. I can't get the location services to work from my home. On my old 2nd generation touch, they work perfectly. I've check all of my settings regarding the location services and everything is 'on'.

Jim, Barry,
This for the replies. For what it is worth, I am confident all settings are OK, at least all the obvious ones. I just cannot see what is missing. In terms of what is not working, all Apps having a location option / button (Maps, Google Earth, etc) do not provide location. For example, Maps will reply by showing a "Cannot determine location" message. The same applies to the two iPads in the house and to whatever iPads enters on my Wi-Fi.
Ideas?

Is Location services available in the Philippines?

Hi guys... ive been trying to use my Map app in my iPod touch 4th gen but it keeps saying "Cannot Determine Location" but all the Location Services are turned on and my wifi signal is excellent. Is there a restriction of this service in the Philippines that's why I can't use it? Thanks.

Location services use the router location of the connected or nearby routers. The router and its location has to be in Apple's database of routers and their location. As of yet nobody here knows how to add or correct Apple's database.

Why are my Location Services no longer working in Mountain Lion?

I don't remember when it started but I can no longer use the location services in Mountain Lion. Everytime I try to locate a Tweet or Facebook post from either Notification Center or Share Sheets, the arrow turns blue, then turns greay again with "Add Location."I also cannot use Find My Mac using iCloud. iCloud tells me that it cannot locate my device.
I can confirm that I do have Location turned on under Privacy.
I don't know what to do or if anyone else if suffering from a similar problem.
Any help would be welcomed.

HI
i having problem :
location servics enables (nothing in list)(no app in list which accesses location),
icloud "find my mac" enabled,
and WHEN I TRY TO FIND MY MACBOOK ON icloud or "find my iphone app" on iphone.
it says:
"ONLINE,LOCATION UNAVAILABLE"
and one more thing, when i set "time & date" to "set automactic according to my location"

CAN ANYONE TELL, HOW TO MAKE LOCATIONS ACCESSED? IS IT WIFI SETTINGS? OR IS IT OTHER SETTINGS BEYOND MAC .???

Why are my location services always on

I have an issue with my location services in ios5 with my Iphone 4.
There is a purple arrow always on for the Seeting Time Zone option (even when in airplane mode).
It seems to affect the battery even with the recent upgrade.
If I turn this option off, then over night my clock is set one hour later than the correct time.
Please let me know if any of you have similar issues, and if you have any solutions!
Thanks.

Yes but then as I stated, my clock goes off by at least one hour (usually in the middle of the night leaving me to depend on an old alarm clock). To fix this, I then would have to do a manual set up for the date and time, and then it really starts to feel like a dumb phone rather than a smart phone. Surely, this is a bug that needs to be addressed?

Z10 Location services kaput after update 10.2.1.537

I updated my phone to 10.2.1.537 recently and noticed after that my location services do not work at all anymore. My location services says that it is on under settings but it will not locate me when i open an app. I usually use gasbuddy app and native blackberry maps and when i open the app it shows me where i was last before the update and says that location services are off when they are definitely on since i manually switched it on in the settings. I have tried turning location services off and on many times, restarted my phone hard and soft restart and have done a system restore (due to the picture password malfunction after update the picture password would not let me into my phone after crashing 2 days afer update) much to my dismay since i have downloaded and deleted a bunch of apps since my last backup. I am wondering if this a common problem or is blackberry planning on fixing this or if there are any patches or some tricks of any kind that i can use to make my location services to work again. Definitely not happy with the new OS, thats not to say that they didnt put alot of new exciting features into the new OS but for me this has been awful as i have been without a phone essentially since the update. All help is appreciated, Thanks Mark

Location Services are part of some apps. They may be using the GPS feature as well as the Network to give you a more precise lock on your location. You said you are using gasbuddy app but location won`t work. Are you having this problem with the Blacberry Map? What other apps you have that are using Location Services?

Ios 4.2.1 Location service of Maps not working offline

after upgrade to ios 4.2.1. i just checked location service of Maps with cellular data 'off'/3g off/wifi off iphone was unable to drop pin to current location using maps application .is their any configuration change with this ios 4.2.1 upgrade?

Turn off your wifi and your location service, but keep your cellular on, You will be able to find your coordinates on the map but not so accurate, You will miss even the rotate on the X axis, The only key player here is your LOCATION SERVICE under GENERAL, the location service works in 2D way, It locates your position according to X & Y axis, For sure this is with the help of the satellite, I have find my iPhone app and it does not interfere with the map app or any navigation app i have, All these app actually uses the LOCATION SERVICE if it's enabled. You can go ahead and turn off your cellular and your wifi but keep your location service on, you will find that on the map your phone will rotate when ever you rotate your phone in a 360 degrees circle, but you will miss the exact names and coordinates of your position, Cellular data gives you that, Names and addresses of where you are and location services gives or tells you where on earth you are.

Location Services Getting Used A Lot

I recently went into my Location Services setting and noticed the "System Services". It looks like these are the items that use Location Services other than the apps that a user downloads. I turned on the option that allows me to see when the System Services are using Location Services and now I notice that theyre using my location a lot.
I saw the location icon on one time while texting and noticed that it wasn't turning off. I went in to check what was using it and it turned out to be Traffic and Frequent Locations.
Is this normal? Are Location Services actually being used a lot? I'm guessing this is why there's an option whether or not you want to see when the System Services are using your location.
The main reason I'm wondering is because I want to save my battery as much as possible...

Yes; just use the maps app (or google maps). Drop a pin at the starting point, then later you can request directions to that pin. Be sure to switch to walking directions.
But you should also have a backup plan, as you would with any activity in a risky environment. Like taking sightings on recognizable landmarks or using other survival techniques that you have probably taken classes in. You need to be prepared for a dead battery, dropping the phone, getting it wet, etc.

I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing issues related to location services settings. Ie; they are on but maps cannot determine location etc.

I recently experienced an issue on my ipad2 related to location services. While connected to a wifi network, I found that apps requiring location services would not work properly and I would receive a pop up notice asking me to turn on location services. For example, the maps app would display a pop up stating "cannot determine location". My NHL gamecenter app would not allow me to watch live feeds; a pop up advised me to turn on location services. In each case, location services was in fact on.
I checked my settings, shut down the apps, restarted them, shut down the iPad and rebooted it to no avail. The internet connection was working fine as best as I could determine. The wifi network was at a guest home and the router was recently replaced. I returned to my home wifi and everything worked fine. The next day, I returned to the guest Internet connection and everything seemed to work once again. However, while watching a NHL game, during the last seconds of an overtime shoot out, I lost video and it was attributed once again to location services being disabled. Of course I checked and nothing in my settings had been altered. I went to my iPhone (3GS) and pulled up the gamecenter app and was able to watch the end of the game( via wifi connection...same network).
So, I am puzzled as to what could be causing this problem. If anyone else is having similar issues, I would like to know as well as if there are any solutions or feedback from Apple regarding this type of problem.....Dave.

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working?

What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working? It has always worked before. It is turned on in Settings but when I try to use an app that requires location services, it says they are not on, and the little arrow is not appearing at the top of the screen.

thank you...I tried this immediately after noticing but to no avail. I thought the phone died but I kept seeing the light on so I googled some things and it says it may be watered damaged and I'm not sure how.

When i turn my location service my network is lost and joins again and it is lost again ? in iphone 3gs any idea ?

when i turn my location service my network is lost and joins again and it is lost again it happens again and again
in iphone 3gs
any idea how to resolve it ?

OK - more details/info now.
When I use terminal and type this:
drutil eject
I believe the DVD drives makes the odd noise I heard when I booted the laptop up.
Any thoughts?
I'm guessing that means my fan/hardrive are actually OK then, and it's probably the mechanism in the DVD drive that is causing problems?
I'm almost certain there's no DVD stuck in there?

Location services don't work even though they are on

My location services do not work even though they are switched on. When I ask Siri something that requires my location it tells me to turn on location services and Siri but they are already on.

For location the iPod uses the location nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's data base. You do not have to be connect to the router.
Thus, it appears that the router the iPod is using does not have the correct location in Apple's database. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
To test this, go to another location/another network like Starbucks and see if location work there
