Current location question

when i use an app on my 2gen touch, at home on my wifi, i get fort wayne indiana as my current location, a nice place but i live outside cincinnati oh, any ideas what the problem could be?
thanks

Yes, you are probably using a cable broadband or maybe even DSL. I know my broadband fro m my cable also indicates I am not where I am. Not even close. I think it has to do with the main server the broadband provider uses. Most have a regional server that stores your email and has the DNS services. Since the iPod touch does not have GPS it would not be possible to detect your location unless you were to offer a zip code.

Maps - current location question

I have loaded a voice recording app (iProRecorder) which has an option to tag a recording with the current location. This sort of works however it shows the current location as a suburb a few K's away from where I really am. If I go into maps and tap the map to get my current location it show the blue pin in the correct location with a small blue circle around it (ie not one which included this other suburb). Any ideas?

I suggest contacting the developer for this app - the programming to acquire the current location may not be waiting long enough to get the GPS location instead of cell tower location which isn't as accurate.

Cannot insert selectItems at the current location

I extended the tag <f:selectItems> to return my own collection, but when I try to insert the tag from palette, I get the message "Cannot insert <selectItems> at the current location because the element is not valid at that location." When I insert it there manually, it works perfectly. How does the editor know, that it is not appropriate? (Or how to tell it that it is appropriate?)

Zone path location question

I am rebuilding our Zone hosting server and the Zone paths are currently located on the SAN through an iscsi mount. My question is: If I plan to use Live Upgrade should the zone paths be in the root partition instead?
Also, if you have any suggestions about using Live upgrade with non-global zones I would like to hear them as well.
Thanks,
Dave

Which file system you are using?
I have patched several guest ldoms running several zones with Live Upgrade. Every zone's zroot is on separate zpool (because of HA). This way it is quite easy to migrate a single zone to second node (in the event of disaster)
One thing that you should remember is that Live Upgrade with ZFS does the patching by using ZFS snapshot. For example, if you do the patching to a live system (which is supported with Live Upgrade!) and the application running on the zone is storing its data on the same file system where zone's root is, the application's data might be out of date after you reboot the machine using the new BE that was created by Live Upgrade.

IOS Maps cannot get my current location?

Wondering if anyone can help...I got a new internet modem last week..as my other modem stopped working properly. Beforehand, I was able to get my current location no problem. Since I got the new modem..my iPod Touch (5th Gen) cannot get my current location. All it says "Cannot Determine Location"
I ask Siri a question about my current location and it can't find my current location either, give me near businesses that I would like to go to e.g A Restuarant or give me local weather.
Any thoughts on what should I do...I have tried resetting the network settings and my last resort would be to restore my iPod as everything else on it is working perfectly.
My home address is not fully correct but worked with the last modem I had, and thought it might work with this new internet modem (WiFi) from the same company. Should I change it to the correct address as it should be or leave it alone?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated on how to fix this problem. It's preety annoying
Thanks so much.

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds
Make sure someone with an iPhone comes over and uses wifi at your house.

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.

Unable to determine current location at this time Mavericks

Hello,
I can't get location service running in Mavericks.
I know it worked before. But somehow it stopped working. It doesn't work with map neither.
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the 'network time server' for the region, that Apple uses, is down at this time(?)
Not sure how one would go about reporting an issue, to somewhere it would matter...
Try unchecking the box next to the automatic time zone location item & set it manually.
{Edit to add: I noticed you asked of this in an older thread, that had suggested this:
OS X Mavericks: Manage which apps can use Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14318
And I looked into that link, but it does not explain your issue.}
The same item has occurred several times, as indicated by a few similar named topics
that come up on a search via google of those same words; here's the link to that:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=mac+os+x+unable+to+determine+current+locati on+at+this+time
You may have to set the TimeZone manually and turn off the automatic location.
This has been an issue in some places (regional, etc) since OS X 10.6.8. but
I have no way of knowing if the cause may be the same or another behind it.
However such an outage (if it could be proven as such) would be difficult to work
around; short of testing the computer in a different Time Zone to see if that network
server was working. Then you could tell if the issue is in the Time Zone you wanted
to be using, and not in the computer itself. A matter of troubleshooting.
{Since these ASC discussion are generally and simply product users who volunteer &
try to answer some varying levels of questions, an inquiry here does not constitute a
contact with Apple, Inc, directly. So please keep that in mind should nobody know
where to look (if possible) to discover an exact match to your issue.}
So, see if the clock and time zone work if you do not have the Automatic location set
and choose the location manually instead. I don't believe a reset of the System
Management Controller (SMC) or the NVRAM/PRAM may be of help; though these
do have some bearing on settings in the computer, for different purposes.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
•About NVRAM and PRAM
Hopefully you won't have to reset anything but the Date/Time panel in the Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I move a picture so that it can be used in multiple projects without removing it from current location

I am organizing several hockey pictures and I am trying to make various projects from the pictures and sometimes I want the same picture in more than one project/album/etc.. Each time I duplicate the version in attempts to move just one of the versios, both are moved to new location and removed from current location. I would greatly appreciate help. Thank you

Piling on : read this. And then read this.
Think this:
Projects are _storage_ containers.
Albums are _viewing_ containers.
(In mind keep this: The naming of "Projects" is the worst interface decision made by Aperture's designers.)
The Image that is created when you import a digicam file is _stored_ in one and in only one container.
You can _view_ the Image in as many viewing containers as you want.
Store them by shoot unless you have a better, complete, workflow. Don't ever move them from their storage container, except to delete them.
View them by _output project (small "p")_. Create as many of these as you need.

Geolocation isn't supported in the Emulator. You'll have to set up a test case that gives the geolocation without relying on the Emulator.

How do I make my Timeline play forward or reverse depending on its current location?

I'm attempting to make a side scrolling site. I have a wide div set up in the main timeline that animates 1000px at a time on the x-coordinate between the labels I have set for each "page".
I would like to click a button and go to the associated label and stop. I am faced with 2 problems:
1. Sometimes this would require the playhead to move in reverse rather than forward.
2. I originally had stop triggers on the timeline under the labels but if I am able to get my first problem fixed these triggers would stop the animatin before reaching the label.
I'm just learning java so I'm guessing I need an if statement and a function.
Example of what I'm trying to figure out:
I want to press work button and play to label "work".
If I'm at label "home" I need to play(); and stop at label "work". If I were at label "blog" I would need to playReverse(); to label "work".
Please help! I've been going looney trying to figure it out!

Thank you for your reply!
My post may have been a little misleading...
I have a navigation bar with 5 items. Home, work, blog, about, contact. My main timeline has a symbol that is 6000px wide. Inside that symbol are individual symbols that make each of these "pages" which are 1000px each. My timeline has animations that last 1.5 secs each and animate the main symbol 1000px on the x dimension to stop on the main stage which is 1000px. Essentially it creates a 5 "page" side scrolling layout. I have the five labels on the timeline starting at 0s with "home", 1.5s labeled "work", 3s labeled "blog"... etc.
I wish to be able to click blog and travel forward or reverse on the timeline and then stop on "blog". Then If you click home you should reverse along the timeline and stop on "home". If I have any stop(); triggers on the timeline it would stop in transition to my target label without reaching it. In addition a generic play(); or playReverse(); doesnt target a specific label which is whats required for my navigation bar.
I need to play forward or reverse from the current location on the timeline and stop when it reaches a specific label. Visually you would be sliding back and forth across the pages as you use the navigation.
Is there a way to do this with variables?
I'm going to try triggers on the timeline like this sym.setVariable("pageValue", "home"); when on the "home" label. sym.setVariable("pageValue", "work"); when on the "work" label.
but then how would I tie that to my buttons?
If I click work and I'm on home I need it to check: var myVariable = sym.getVariable("pageValue"); and then an if or else statement I think? I'm such a noob. I'm trying really hard to grasp it
something like: if pageValue = "home" { sym.play();} else if pageValue = "blog","about","contact" {sym.playReverse} if pageValue = "work" {sym.stop();};
I know there is probably all kinds of syntax errors there but can someone understand what I'm getting at?
to make this even more tricky I am interacting with the stage with an html and css navigation bar that lays over the stage so I need this to be in function style (see code)
function goHome()
javascript:var targetComp = AdobeEdge.getComposition('EDGE-57204389');
 targetComp.getStage().playReverse();
and then call it like this in html
<li><a href="javascript:goHome();" class="three-d">
 Dynamic
 DynamicArtisans
 </a></li>
This works to play the stage in reverse but its not the functionality I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a great learning point for me and hopefully others in my situation!

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

WebPartPagesWebService.GetWebPartProperties gives The file is not available. Either the file does not exist or it cannot be edited from its current location.

Hi,
I am trying to get all web parts from our sharepoint site by calling web service method GetWebPartProperties of WebPartsPages service. The method works fine for the root page (Home Page) but for pages in sub site i get this in the xml
node, Outer XML - <WebParts xmlns="http://microsoft.com/sharepoint/webpartpages"></WebParts>. I am struck here.
Please help me understand why i am getting this?

Hi,
We can do as follows:
1. Mark sure the page URL is correct.
2. Check whether current user has permission to access the page.
3. Use SPServices to get web part properties.

Get current LOCATION in ProcessFlow (PF) or Mapping

How can I get current LOCATION from running PF or Mapping?
I need to run PF.
Name of PF passing via parameter of PF.
I know about wb_rt_api_exec.run_task, but first parameter is LOCATION.

It is possible to get location from ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS OWB public view (column OBJECT_LOCATION_NAME),
if I understand your requirements properly.
Filter rows from ALL_RT_AUDIT_EXECUTIONS via execution_audit_id, in processflow you can use predefined variable AUDIT_ID for currently running processflow audit id

How to obtain current location with in a flow

Hi,
This might be very basic level query, but i cant figure it out.
I want to extract the location with in a flow. ie in my proxy service i have multiple stages and with in each stage i am using some log actions to print some statements. I can see the log statement does shows the location where the 'log' is generated from. something like this
<ERROR> <ALSB Logging> <BEA-000000><*[Message Flow Pipeline, Message Flow Pipeline_request, stage1]*> My Message
My Query is how i can obtain this string "*[Message Flow Pipeline, Message Flow Pipeline_request, stage1]" , in some variable, in my flow in case i need to log my current location somewhere.
Many thanks for your help!
sall

thanks guys!
I had already looked for any context variable which could provide the current location but no success!
The business scenario is:
Proxy request pipleline has saveral stages, from within each stage i have to make a java callout, which is basically a internal logging mechanism, with current location.
Currently i am using hard coded string value e.g. "[JMS Flow Pipleline, JMS Flow Pipeline_request, Stage 1]" or "[JMS Flow Pipleline, JMS Flow Pipeline_request, Stage 2]", which is pretty pathetic. Any ideas how can we obtain the current location, within a flow, and assign it to some variable like location etc???
I would like to use something like '$input/@name' which returns some string "ProxyServices$Template$Services$ProxyService"
I hope this explains bit more, however let me know if you need more clarification.
thanks

I'm having trouble with "maps" on Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. It shows my current location and hour away from where I am. As soon as a move iPhone away from my wifi at home to cellular it shows my correct location. No help from Time Warner.

What can I do to get "maps" to work on my Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone when connected to wifi at home. iPhone "maps" work fine when connected to cellular service. Maps on wifi shows me about 55 minutes away from my current location. Very frustrating. I called Time Warne,r my service provider, but they had no answers since they were not knowledgeable of this situation. Anyone else having problem? I just updated all devices to newest update. Is that the problem.

Did you bring your wireless router with you? If so, it's possible the iPad is getting its location through the router and the router still "thinks" it's where you used to live.
Try taking your iPad to another location where there is wifi (such as a coffee shop). Then, try an app that uses location services. If it's accurate at another location, then the source of your problem is your router.
