Improve GPS accuracy2,4
GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:
Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
Restart your device.
Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
Note: Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
Maintain a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.

I lost my iPhone 5 and iCloud or find my iPhone isn't on is there any way I can track my iPhone with the serial number or is there any other way ? iCloud or Find My iPhone wasn't installed or on please help

I lost my Black iPhone 5, 2 days ago. Someone stole it. Find my iPhone app wasn't installed, it's not on. Is there any way I can turn on "Find my IPhone" on my phone from my computer or can I track it with the serial number ? Please help.

I guess no but they can't use it because most likely they restored it and the name of your find my iphone will disappear on your computer even if it is on because it does not have your name anymore.

Find my iPhone stuck on loading on iPhone 6

All my apps loaded from my backup, but Find My iPhone keeps getting stuck about 2/3 of the way through loading. I've deleted it and re-tried it multiple times, rebooted the phone, my mac, iTunes, tried it plugged in directly to the mac, tried over wifi. Nothing will work! Just keeps getting stuck on loading. I've also disabled Find My iPhone in my Settings.

Same problem, none of the suggested fixes worked so far. 'Find my iphone' and 'Find my friends' apps are both stuck loading, don't open and can't be deleted. Tried resetting the phone, killing all background apps, turning find my iphone option on and off, deleting.

Lost iPhone 4s, "Find My iPhone" app not installed

Hi,
I lost my iPhone 4s and didn't have "Find My iPhone" app installed. Is there a way for Apple to remote install it for me? I also don't have iCloud set up on the phone.
Thanks for the help.

I had my iPhone 4 stolen last night and when i logged into find my phone it appeared offline. I did the remote wipe from iCloud and got a message that read that it couldnt process because the phone was not connected to the internet. A few minutes later I received an email that the remote wipe had begun and that it couldnt be reverted.
20 minutes later the message on iCloud was that the Location of my iPhone couldnt be updated because it had been wiped. My question is does that message indicate that the remote wipe was completed? I just dont know if the phone was able to have access to the internet or had been turned off ever since it was stolen.
Would appreciate comments

Find my iphone stuck on hunting compass

macbook pro, 16G, yosemite using various isps and my icloud to find my iphone 5s
i have checked out the recommended suggestions and nothing seems to work
my phone is on, find my iphone is on, i have restarted the iphone, the internet is working, i have only one icloud account, my device is registered etc
what happens is that i get to the app in the cloud, the compass shows up, the compass begins to hunt or search -that is swing repeated across north-
as it usually does --but then unlike usually, it never stops to show the map or location
what could be the matter
-sorry i have a partially disabled keyboard
thank you

App updates are stuck on installing, won't update

I have 10 apps to update. They are all stuck on installing. Have rebooted,doesn't do anything. I can't use the apps either. any suggestions?

Make sure you are getting a good internet connection.
Double-tap the Home button (bottom center of the iPhone), to get the current open Apps. Press and hold on one till they start "shivering" and you get the red "-" sign on them.
Such the "-" on the ones you are having troubles with to close them. And press the Home button again to exit the "shiver mode".
Then reset your iPhone (Press and hold the Home and Sleep (Shut Down) buttons at the same tim, till you get the Apple logo). This will not cause any data loss.
When it has finished restarting, open the Apps you were having troubles with. The iPhone should recognize an incompleted upgrade and restart the download/upgrade.
Good luck.

ITunes has a problem finding my iPhone on wifi after iOS 6 update

Since updating to iOS 6 on Thursday, I've been having problems with iTunes not finding my iPhone on wifi. I'm not having this problem with my iPad, which is first gen so no iOS update. Sometimes the phone will show up on the list when I start iTunes, most of the time it won't. I am also getting repeated pop-ups from Windows telling me that "ATH.exe has stopped working". The pop up shows up even after I click the button for "Close Program". I've tried stopping and starting the Apple Mobile Device Service. This led to the phone showing up on the list but the pop up frequency has actually now increased (not that that's necessarily related).
I do not have problems with the phone showing up in the list or syncing the phone when it's physically connected - it works exactly the way it's supposed to if it's plugged in. And I can deal with having to plug it in to sync if I have to but these constant popups are starting to drive me batty and I don't want to have to deal with them until the new iTunes comes out next month (assuming the new version will fix whatever the problem is anyway).
I am running Windows Vista 32-bit, iTunes 10.7.0.21, iPhone 3GS.

I've got the 4S and I see you have the 3GS; this isn't a device issue evidently since your post is the first that I see is NOT a newer device. I'm in total agreement on your post as well - there is absolutely no rhyme nor reason for all this and the pop-up is to the point of syncing via the cable is worth NOT having this "ATH.exe" error.
Further I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, as per all the support forums, yet to sync via WiFi, I have to stop and start the Apple Device Service countless times. As I stated earlier, by the time I start/restart the services, it's just easier to throw it on the cable and call it a day....
One would think, by now, that Apple would be on this however I hve yet to see an Apple post as to a resolution. I suppose we will just go batty together!!! If I hear or find anything, I'll hunt down this post and post the info I've found. Thank you for reporting this so Apple realizes we're not losing our minds nor is it a Vista/Windows issue. iTunes10.7.0.21 is being used & this only started after the iOS 6 update... GRRR!!!!

IPhone/iMac sync problem following Yosemite update

I updated to Yosemite and have had multiple frustrating problems. The most recent one is that when I synced my iPhone after the update, almost every single entry disappeared from my calendar, causing me to miss an important appointment. When I compare my iMac calendar to the iPhone calendar now, I can see indications on the iPhone of items that correspond to the iMac items (little dot on the day on the monthly calendar), but when I click on the day there is absolutely nothing visible on the calendar. And obviously no reminders going off, causing missed appointments. On my iPhone calendar I have changed no settings at all following Yosemite update, and prior to update everything that was on my iMac calendar was showing on the iPhone. I don't do iCloud, I just sync by physically connecting the phone to the iMac.
My impression is overall that Apple is getting very lazy now that their market share is getting so huge. Yosemite update has been a disaster for me.

Sorry, on rereading I realise that the information is not completely clear. The items that are missing are on the iPhone calendar. The iMac calendar still has all the items that were on it before the Yosemite update. What has gone wrong is that somehow the phone calendar is not being updated properly at sync; for some weird reason the display (and reminders) on the phone calendar were wiped out with the sync to the iMac following the Yosemite update.

Stuck in recovery following failed update

I've had a quick search of the forum and haven't seen my exact problem listed, apologies if it's been asked and answered.
I've had the iPhone for about a month and regularly sync everything and back it up with itunes.
I said yes to the iPhone update in itunes. It failed with an unknown error. Phone is stuck in what another PC says is recovery mode. My itunes now won't detect the phone. I've tried a restore with itunes on two other PCs hoping to just get the thing back as a phone so I can then maybe restore my stuff from my itunes later.
The restores have been 40 minutes then fail x2 on one laptop and 2 hours then fail on my husbands PC. itunes is up to date. Two of the PCs have brand new downloads of itunes installed.
What's my next move please?

Although this happened to me on an Iphone 3g it will be the same fix for all i would have thought. The trouble when the update fails is that the driver in Windows changes, it goes from the Apple Driver to a standard USB COMPOSITE DEVICE. And this is the reason as to why you are unable to resolve the issue and probably not able to see the Iphone in Itunes. Quite an easy fix once you know how......
The following is for WINDOWS:
Go to Device Manager (right click on MY COMPUTER and then Click MANAGE)
Under USB DEVICES Select USB COMPOSITE DEVICE
RIGHT CLICK ON THIS and SELECT UPDATE DRIVER
NEXT SELECT BROWSE FOR DRIVER (DO NOT SELECT AUTOMATICALLY)
THEN SELECT APPLE DRIVER (THIS DIFFERS AS TO WHAT MODEL YOU HAVE ON SOME MACHINES)
THEN DONE. YOU SHOULD SEE THE DRIVER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY, and almost INSTANTLY ITUNES WILL DISPLAY THE IPHONE AND STATE IT IS IN RECOVERY MODE, IF IT FAILS REPEAT THESE STEPS, AS IT WORKED ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT FOR ME.

IPhone Stuck on Emergency Mode after Update

Need help on how to get my orginal iPhone 2G out of Emergency Mode only. Here's my issue and the solutions I've tried but so far none of it fixed my iPhone.
Problem:
I have an original iPhone (which I kept from 2007) and it has been working just fine as an iPod (no cell service anymore) since 2008 until I updated the firmware to 3.1.3 two days ago when I synced it with iTunes. After the firmware update, it remained stuck on Emergecy Call mode ony. I know that the orginal iPhone can only be activated with iTunes, but iTunes doesnt seem to recognize it - not even an info about the device can be seen. So, I tried to restore it through DFU mode, but even after re-installing the firmware, it remained stuck. I tried it both on my Sony VAIO with Win7 computer and iMac with Lion.
Solutions I tried:
1. Took my iPhone to Apple store - and they can't unlock it, they said their iTunes version doesn't support the device anymore.
2. Took it to AT&T - they can't unlock it either even after putting in a SIM card that's active from one of their phones.
I'm at a dead end on this somehow. Anyone who can give me a solution to this, I'd appreciate it a lot.
Just FYI, I'm using iTunes beta (10.5.1.25) on Win 7 and iMac Lion and non beta iTunes on my Mac Air with the same result.
Will activating the iPhone back with service through AT&T solve this? This seems like it's the only way out? If I have to resort to that, I'll just have to cancel my service pretty much on the same day after activating it as soon as my phone unlocks. Somehow, I found it odd that Apple couldn't even unlock it. I don't remember reading anywhere that they will stop any kind of hardware support to their products.
Thanks everyone!!! Hope someone can help me with this.

It didn't activate after the update, so it is like a new phone. Reboot your computer, then follow the steps here:
