Can't locate ipad on maps when tethering

Is this a limitation of the ipad or do I have a problem?
I notice that when I tether my ipad to my iphone, if I use maps on the ipad, it can't pinpoint my location.
It can locate any address on my contacts list, but not my location.
My iphone is able to show my location but the ipad just hangs and nothing ever comes up.
I have an ipad 2 wifi model. It works fine on wifi and can find my location at wifi hotspots.
The iphone is a 4s with a data bolt-on from O2 that includes tethering.
Can others get their non-3G ipads to show their location while tethered to their iphone while using a 3G connection?

Hello:
I have not attempted to do what you describe....however, it would seem that the iPad (tethered) does not know where it is located as it is not connected to anything directly.

    my ipad mini can't locate me on maps..how do i fix it?

    Is this a WiFi-only iPad, or a WiFi+Cellular unit? If it's a WiFi-only unit, location depends on the WiFi router being registered in Apple's database. If it's not, no location can be returned. I've read that if you have someone with an iPhone with location services turned on connect to that WiFi router, that will update Apple's databases, but I don't know if that's correct and if it is how quickly that will happen.
    If you have a WiFi+Cellular iPad, make sure that Location Services are turned on:

  • Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

    I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
    Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
    Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
    First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.
    Here's the url for that archived discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3849933?start=0&tstart=0
    Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
    thanks, brokenlom

    Here are Apple's instructions:
    If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
    Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

  • Keep getting "Can't Locate Disk" error message when installing software

    Hi!
    I'm trying to install some software on my PowerBook G4 . . . every time I follow this routine:
    1) I insert the installation disk of the software.
    2) Classic 9 starts up - I then get the folder on the disk with then install icon.
    3) I toggle through 3 or 4 screens, agreeing to licenses, etc. - then . . .
    4) When I click on the "OK TO INSTALL" button an error message appears and stops my progress - it reads, "Can't locate disk" - duh! We've been working off this disk for 5 minutes - the disk shows up on the desktop - I can locate the disk - why can't my computer? Please help me if you are able - thanks!

    Thanks Bob! My problem was that I was following advice from elsewhere on the internet that said I should burn a DVD in UDF format when in fact just burning it using disk utility in ISO made it work. Thank you so much!

  • TS4006 Why can't I see a map when using find my iPhone on my macbook air in China?

    I am using icloud on my macbook air to track my iphone. I can get the position of my iphone with a green dot, but there's no map showing. Why is that? I am in Chengdu, a city in China.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

  • Itunes can't locate files after I listen to it on the Ipod

    It seems that every time I listen to a song, I notice that Itunes can't locate it anymore. When I go to Itunes and look in my music folder, there is an exclamation point next to the song. When I click on it, the error message reads "cannot locate file, would you like to locate it now". At first it was only one or two songs, now it's over 50! These songs are still on my Ipod,just no longer in Itunes. I know how to recover the music b/c it's in my hard drive, I just don't want to sit there and find all these songs all over again. Help please.

    I too have been having the same problem... I am a new ipod owner and same with itunes. And being a new owner and user I got the new itunes. It has done the exclimation point since the first day I got it. But mine is simple to fix. I mearly just exit out of itunes and re-open it. I dont evn have to wait at all. It shows the exclimation point with about 20 of my songs and it hasnt gotten in my way yet. But the main problem that makes me mad is that my ipod is only 2 weeks old but I tried to get some of my friends music and she has the older version of itunes and my ipod ONLY works on the new version. Very frustrating if you ask me.

  • Speaker Issue when tethering

    Has anyone else experienced an issue with their ipad's speakers when tethering?
    My speakers are fine on most times, but when I am tethering, the speaker gives out a "static type" noise when playing music or using applications like garageband. When I turn off tethering, the speaker is back to normal. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi,
    Your best bet is to run wireshark on your workstation to see how the packets are being sent to the iphone. That will tell alot right off the bat. Also what are you running for your headend, is it an ios router or an ASA?
    thanks,

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.

  • I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • HT4759 how can I transfer files to my iPad from my mac when tethered

    I've benn a mac user for many years.  My job provides iPhones and I'm trying to use my wifes old iPad to carry work files and email. My ipad won't sync like the phone and mac are.
    Can I transfer files manually when tethered?
    My second question is the Exchange account I use dosen't work on the iPad.  I have set it up with all same settings I use on th mac and the phone, but with
    ne luck.  I get a message stating my password is incorect.
    Any help would be great.
    My mac is 17" MacBook Pro 2.4g running 10.7.5
    The phone is a iPhone 4 (?) running os 6.0.1
    The ipad is iPad running 5.1.1

    You can't fit 300 GB on an iPad.
    Are you sure they are 300 GB, I've never seen a file of that size, what type of files are they.

  • Why isn't "Find My iPad" automatically enabled on the device when purchased? Why is it a feature that is OFF and has to be turned ON instead of the other way around? I didn't know it needed to be enabled and now it's stolen and I can't locate it

    Why isn't the "Find My iPad", "Find My Mac", etc. feature not automatically enabled in the iCloud Settings on every device? My iPad was stolen a couple days ago and it's been showing Offline under "Find My iPhone" feature so I started doing some research. Come to find out "Find My iPad" has to be enabled under the PRIVACY button in SETTINGS. I never knew that!!! That feature is highly needed for Apple products so can some explain why it's not already enabled on every device and actually has to be turned ON from the OFF position and not the other way around? Now some lucky person has stolen my iPad and I can't locate it because Apple wanted to give me the choice to enable it once it was already ******* stolen!

    Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.

  • TS1702 I can't locate Netflix on my IPad

    I can't locate Netflix on my IPad - it's not there!! However when I go to download it from the App store it shows it's already installed.   Help please...

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions (I think that the app is rated 12+) ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it 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. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make it easier to find
