Autodetect location is wrong, how to fix?

I'm currently in the USA using a laptop intially set up for working in the UK (temporary move as a student), it's worked fine for 3 months. I've moved into a new hall and suddenly my computer is convinced I'm in South Korea. I do have a Korean roommate, but we're using a university wifi server that is logged into with separate usernames. I know I can manually set the timezone, but how do I get the location updated properly?

Try this. Go to System Preferences/Date and Time, and click on the Time Zone field. I realize that you're not using Lion, but on my system, there's a dialog that allows you to pinpoint your location. You can even further narrow down the locaton  by turning on the wifi.
In any case, your location should be updated using this general procedure.

  • My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

    My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

    Make sure all apps are fully closed:
    - double tap your home button
    - hold your finger on an app
    - when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
    Now do a hard reset:
    - hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
    If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

    Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

  • Firefox is blocking an update, but i don't know what its blocking - another thing - i tried feedback - told Firefox needed updating - about help says i have latest update - something wrong - how to fix

    Every now and again - i get a notice saying "something is trying to trick Firefox in accepting an update" - that is it - does not tell me what it is - I then thought i'd use Feedback to contact you - however, it came back saying "to use feedback i needed the most recent update" I checked ABOUT FIREFOX and it says i am up to date - so maybe - Firefox is blocking its own update - what is going on - and how can i find out what is being "blocked"

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How to fix 'Unexpected error: Incorrect value: Location URL' in WSDL

    Hi All,
    Using SOAMANAGER  transaction, I created a service ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC and its binding 'ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC_binding' using the Create Service option under the tab Configurations and using the web service definition 'ECC_CUSTOMERQUOTEERPCRTRC'.  When I click on the link "Open WSDL document for selected binding" under the tab 'Overview', I get the following XML code in the popup window for the WSDL.
    - <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

    The XML code for nthe WSDL displays an error 'Unexpected error: Incorrect value: Location URL for subject IF '. It looks like the code could find the required URL. Please let me know how to fix this error.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello.
    In SOAMANAGER delete your "unexpected" service (endpoint).
    Then create it again.
    If same error will occurs - try to delete all definitions of this service (include sicf-transaction) and then create it completely again.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to fix the iphone 4s if it is the wrong carrier iphone 4s?

    Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and how to fix it.   Lets see in October 2012 I bought a brand new Iphone 4s.   I had it less than a week when I sent it to Apple because it had already been updated to IOS 6 without my knowledge and the battery was dying and some other issues was going on with the phone. My carrier Sprint that I purchased it from has a 2 year contract.   What Apple sent me back for my brand new Iphone 4s  was a used refurbished Iphone 4s with Verizon carrier.  I spent hours on the phone with Apple and Sprint.  Sprint told me to tell Apple that I needed a Sprint Iphone.  Well I tried but they said they could make it work as long as I didn't try to install a sim card because then the phone would not work at all. Well besides everything on my phone refering to Verizon or At&t but never my carrier Sprint I suppose it could have been worse.  I actually have never seen the OS 5.11 all I have ever seen is OS 6.  Even the refurbished Verizon phone I was sent was already updated  to I0S 6  so I couldn't change it.  My husbands iphone 4s from Sprint never updated on its on, his is still IOS 5. Anyway, my battery dies quite frequently and now my refurbished Verizon/Sprint iphone has updated to IOS 6.02 which is even worse.   When ever I log into a online account I am always showing up as that I am logging in from another state like Georgia with Sprint carrier but I don't live in Georgia.   Pretty much anytime I Iog into any online account I am never on a Sprint Network in my state .   Always the wrong state. Try to do a soft reset which doesn't help because the factory defaults for the phone is Verizon and lets not forget it won't work with a sprint sim card at all.  I also try to atleast restore it to I0S 6 on itunes but it keeps stating restore and update. So now I am stuck with IOS 6.02.    I think it would be great if I could use I0S 5  like my husband has on his Iphone 4s.  Any suggestions on how to fix my screwed up iphone 4s.   I would go to an apple store but the closest one is over an hour a way. So thats out for now.  So how do I use my iphone 4s with carrier Sprint on their  celluar network in my state and possibly  the city I live in, also which is all  in the UnitedStates?

  • My Ipod is stuck on a white screen with the wrong time and a lock. computer doesn't recognized my Ipod..also gets hot when connected to charge..any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You

    Hi
    My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

    If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
    If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

    Hello there, Kyle.Kuz.
    The following Knowledge Base article that provides some helpful pointers to help resolve your issue is:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Specifically:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.
