Changing Current Location

I was a little too anxious while setting up my new ipod touch. I accidently set my current location to...somewhere other than my current location. How do I change this setting to my accurate address?

FYI - this is the iPhone discussions area.
You set your current location with what on your Touch?

How do i change current location?

I get local news and weather on my Yahoo homepage for Cleveland, OH. I'm not in Cleveland. How do I change my current location to get news and weather for my real location? (Default is already set for my real location). When I try to add a city, I get an error message.

Best to discuss that with your internet service provider. They give you your IP Address, which (unless you are using WiFi) determines the location which is "reported" to websites. The website "reads" the IP Address of your connection to the website's server.

Just put my i-tunes library on a 2nd hard drive, how do I easily change the location where the program looks for current songs from the C:/ drive to the new drive without going thru each song individually in the "get info" tab

I just installed a new hard drive and transfered my i-tunes library to the new drive. How can I make a bulk change of the location the program looks for the current songs. I know you can do it song by song from the "get info" tab but I need to do it for all 4500 songs. I have already changed the location that new files are stored to the new hard drive.

The pop-up lets you connect to the library file, iTunes Library.itl, on the external drive. This will, in turn, automatically update the preference for the iTunes Media folder to be the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder inside the iTunes folder on the external drive and it will update the locations of all the content inside the media folder so that it uses the version on the external drive.
This works seamlessly if all iTunes content was inside the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder (which was itself inside the iTunes library folder) before you moved/copied the iTunes folder. For content outside the iTunes Media folder iTunes should remain connected to the original location. These files should be consolidated (before or after the move/copy) and in addition, if available the library should be upgraded to the newer layout which places iPod Games and Mobile Applications inside the media folder instead of the library folder. (File > Library > Organize Library...)
For split libraries there are methods to rejoin them before moving (preferred) or repairing after the fact (e.g. my script) which I can go into if needed.

My ipad 2 won't find it's current location since router change.

My ipad 2 32gb wifi won't find it's current location. I've recently changed my old router from orange with a new one from orange and now my ipad can't find current location. I've looked at the settings for both the ipad and the router and should all work. Help?

Try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.
If that doesn't fix the problem then go to Settings>General>Reset, then Reset Network Settings.

I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone help me find where to change location?

As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected. Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database. If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location. I don't think that there is anything you can do about it. You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

How do i change my current location??? please help me!

help change my current location. My iPod says Im in Denver when Im in Ne Mexico, its been bothering me for a long while.

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

Just purchased new iPad. Map app shows my current location in another city. Can't figure out how to change to correct address.

QUESTION - just purchased iPad 2. Map app shows my 'current location' in another city. I can't figure out how to correct the address.

That is a problem with the WiFi-only iPads. Location is determined by the routers "within reach" of your iPad. There apparently is a database somewhere that tracks the location of routers and that is used to determine the location of the iPad. It's been known to produce some really cockamamie results.
In my case, it was off by a reliable 200 yards for maybe the first year that I owned the iPad. Then it mysteriously began to recognize my actual location.

Changing database location per Table at runtime is extremely slow in viewer

We are using the Crystal Reports 2008sp2 Viewer in windows forms .NET
application to display various reports based on a Pervasive database. The
C# code dynamically changes the database table locations at run time. The
location needs to be set for each table since the location may be different
for each table in the report.
We have tried to methods to change the location.
1) Set the Table.Location property in the ReportDocument.Database.Tables
collection.
foreach (Table table in rd.Database.Tables)
Table.Location = "New Path";
2) Set the TableLogOnInfo properties.
      TableLogOnInfo logonInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
      logonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
      logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = dataPath;
      logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.LogonProperties[0] = new NameValuePair2("Data
File", dataPath);
      logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.LogonProperties[0] = new NameValuePair2("Data
File Search Path", path);
      table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo);
Both of these methods work, but have extremely slow performance. Both
methods take between 2 and 3 seconds to execute per table. Since many of
our reports have 20 - 30 table references ( sometimes more ), this can add
an additional 1-2 minutes to the display of a report.
It seems that the Crystal viewer object is doing some sort of verification
every time the database location is changed. We have noted that as the
location is changed, the database is being accessed by the viewer. Please
advise as to how to stop this behavior. Is there a way to set the location
without the viewer verifying the change?
This problem is turning reports that run in the 2008 Report Designer in 3 seconds into reports that take
many minutes to run. We will hear nothing but screaming from our 300 customers.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I have a very similar issue but with Crystal XI and XI R2.
I'm using Oracle 10g, and changing a couple of properties using the following sequence for each table to change the login information and the table's current view (each view is a portion of the overall table):
IDatabaseTablePtr table = tables->GetItem(tableN);
table->SetLogOnInfo(TheApp.GetDataSource(), TheApp.GetDatabase(), userID, pwd);
char tableLocation[201];
char tempTable[201], newTable[201];
strcpy(tableLocation, table->GetLocation());
// make new table name, put into newTable
table->PutLocation(newTable);
if (!table->TestConnectivity())
ShowCrystalRE_Error(job);
Stepping through in my debugger, the SetLogOnInfo seems very quick, it's the PutLocation( ) that seems to be taking alot of time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is extremely fast on SQL Server, only noticeably slow on Oracle.

My MacBook Pro with Retina display shows wrong current location

I purchased my MacBook Pro when I was a student at a particular university in Hawaii. After I graduated, I moved back to my home country in the Philippines. When I use Google Maps or Bing Maps to show me my current location which is now in the Philippines, it still shows that I'm still at that university in Hawaii. I tried using the Find My iPhone App, it shows my iPhone's and MacBook Pro's location in Hawaii but not at my current location in the Philippines. I tried resetting the PRAM, changing region settings, and even my timezone manually, but still having that wrong location info whiich I need in case I lose my iDevices and try to locate them and they'll all point to Hawaii!
Please help! Thank you!

It works now with other browsers - Chrome and Firefox. They show my location, but in Safari, it still shows I'm in Hawaii and even in the Time Zone settings in Sys Preferences. This bugs me a lot. I reset Safari and still shows me I'm in Hawaii. I used Google Maps and Bing Maps to locate me at my current location but the system still shows I'm in Hawaii although Chrome and Firefox now shows that I'm in the Philippines. So I tried resetiing the CoreLocationAgent service again and got an error. It said Failed to reset the database. I tried Find My iPhone again but shows my Mac in Hawaii. I'm just concerned about this since it can't locate my Retina MacBook Pro in case it gets stolen!
I don't know if this is a bug in Mountain Lion or am I missing something?
Please help again... Really appreciate it.

How do you change the location of where your photos are stored?

How do you go about changing the location of where your iPhoto files are housed? I'm running out of space on one drive and want to move them all over to a drive that can house all of the current (and future) photos?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Changing VoteDisk Location in Same Disk Group

Hello All,
Greetings !
Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.3
RHEL 6.4
I have installed the grid with single disk group having 3 disk DATA, ARCHIVE and OCR. the current location of votedisk is as:
/dev/oracleasm/disks/ARCHIVE [DATA]
it is possible to change the location to
/dev/oracleasm/disks/OCR [DATA]
Please guide.
Thnks & Bst Rgds,
Kapil Relan

Best practice is to make the OCR location normal redundancy with at least 3 members, that way you get 3 copies of the voting disk. There is a bug in the base release of 11.2.0.3 that can cause node to be ejected form the cluster if you only have one voting disk.
More generally you can control which disk group a file is created on but it will be striped across all the disks.
for example in out environment the CRS disk roup contains 3 disks of 2GB each with normal redundancy then two diskgroups with external redundancy DATA and FRA, genrally these will consist of multiple disks with the size being determined by the current requirements and the expected growth.

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 am trying to install FF on a thin client, and need to change the location the installler extracts the temp files to as the disk is not big enough.

Is there a pre extracted version of the installer or a way of specifiying where the installer extracts itself to?

If Firefox on Windows is using the current temp folder then you need to change the location of the temp folder via the %TMP% and %TEMP% environment variables.
*Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables
*Right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment variables

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

Moving the iOS device backup location
Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
Where <User> is your Windows user name.
To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
