Find my mac not showing mac location, but its online

HI
i having problem :
location servics enables (nothing in list)(no app in list which accesses location),
icloud "find my mac" enabled,
and WHEN I TRY TO FIND MY MACBOOK ON icloud or "find my iphone app" on iphone.
it says:
"ONLINE,LOCATION UNAVAILABLE"
and one more thing, when i set "time & date" to "set automactic according to my location"
then the result is "unable to determine location at this time."
CAN ANYONE TELL, HOW TO MAKE LOCATIONS ACCESSED? IS IT WIFI SETTINGS? OR IS IT OTHER SETTINGS BEYOND MAC .???

I wanted to add to this discussion what I found today on my own Mac. I have been trying to get Calendar to show my location and it wasn't working, so I tried to find out why. Similar to the original poster, even my location in "date and time preferences" was not working with all settings set properly. At my office, which is where the Mac rests most of the time, I have access to both wifi and LAN, but I prefer to send wifi to my iPad through my mac and the ethernet for a more consistent connection, so I regularly use ethernet instead of wifi on the Mac itself, obviously. I noticed that once I turn off wifi internet sharing or unplug my ethernet and the Mac connects to the local wifi, I all of a sudden have a location.
This seems silly to me. I shouldn't have to only be on wifi as most ethernet connections also have logged locations, either provided by the ISP or whatever. I think this might be an issue with the provider of the network myself and the user is on. Even though my wifi is broadcast through my mac's ethernet to my iPad, the reason the iPad gets location is because it has a second source of location, the actual GPS chip (like the iPhone from the poster). And since the issue seems to be with the ISP (work network well locked down in my case), it seems there may not be anything the poster can do to turn it on.
You might try looking for any specific ports the location services on Mac use, or see if there is anything your ISP/network is blocking.

  • Aging in Ar not showing any transaction but its showing all the payments

    Hi can anyone help in regard of this problem
    when i am going to run 7bucket aging report in AR it doesn't showing any transaction but it shows only receipts.
    even the transaction is due i don't know why its not showing any transaction
    we have just get upgraded to 12 release.
    Regards
    Nishant

    I am suspecting the Transaction is not stamped with Legal entity, since you mention you have recently upgraded to r12.
    Just see the comment section at the end of this page, it will give you some idea about legal entity consideration for transaction.

    Check the status of all transactions, are they posted to GL. This cann't be a case..as receipt you are getting.

  • Where file is located in computer? search only finds a file not showing a location of the file, is it similar to windows 8 philosophy - simplify without any logic?

    Lately can not find a file location directory, when searching for the file finder finds it right away but I can not see where the file is located in the computer directory. Lately I see simplification of Mac OSX which is not always a good thing where I have to find the answers on the internet when my intuitive way is out- like finding monitor resolution with a use of option key to display all the options. I looks like Windows 8 and Microsoft philosophy of simplification without any logic is adopted by Apple engineers.

    Open Finder> go to View> choose "Show Path Bar."
    Highlight any file and the complete path will show in the bottom finder window bar now.

  • My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    My mac, ipad and apple tv share the same itunes account.  Why do movies rented from itunes on my ipad or mac not show up in my apple tv?  is there a way to get them there?

    Rentals are one-time only downloads, they will not show on other devices/computers for redownloading.
    If you rent a film on your iPad or Apple TV then you can only watch it on that device. If you rent it on your Mac then you can move it from there to your iPhone or your Apple TV (if it's a first gen Apple TV) : FAQs about renting movies from the iTunes Store :
    If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.
    If you rented the movie on your iOS device or Apple TV, you can’t move it to any other device.

    Hi Team,
    The option to disable to update is chosen by your IT admin when he created the package.
    The IT Admin can re-enable the update by following the link below:

  • Identifying files on mac/not on mac

    I want to be able to identify all files my external hard drive that are not on my mac and partition these off in the external hard drive then use the other part of the partition to back up my mac with time machine.
    I know one option could be to use the label function to label files, on mac/not on mac but this would be awfully tedious – is there an easier way to search through all these files to identify which files are and are not are my mac?
    Also as hard drive space begins to fill up on my mac I would also want to be able to move some files off the mac into the “files not on mac” partition of the external hard drive in order to free up more space but still have backups of everything. How can I do this?

    Apple's built-in options are spotlight and a couple of terminal commands such as "locate", but nothing will scour two drives and compare files. With these you'd have to manually find a file and then search your main drive for the same file. There might be some third-party solutions, and you might try searching for "file compare" or some similar keywords at http://www.versiontracker.com to see what comes up. You might be able to set up something in Automator, but I'm not exactly sure how that'd be done. The spotlight searching using Automator is rather limited.

  • HT4906 I have just downloaded Mountain Lion but my iPhoto app cannot be launched as it says the original app cant be found. It takes me to where is says its located but its not there.  What to do?

    I have just downloaded Mountain Lion but my iPhoto app cannot be launched as it says the original app cant be found. It takes me to where is says its located but its not there.  What to do?

    Reinstall it?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.

    Please do not use the post title to post the entire question (no offense, it just makes the forum look ugly). As for your question - you really did install it? I mean with serial and install disc? If so, the update would work, because it would find the proper install info. That not being the case, there are a few things that may be wrong:
    - due to you language settings, the installer cannot find the folder because it has a different name (though on Vista, that shouldn't be an issue)
    - at some point, you used the CS4 Clean Utility/ Script to remove install info
    - you are using a pirated copy that you may have bought on eBay or elsewhere that has a modified installer to circumvent licensing
    - you are using an unlicensed version a "friend" gave you and that never was installed, but merely copied to the harddrive
    That pretty much covers the immediate options, now it's up to you to tell us, which one may apply. Assuming, we are talking about perfectly legit software, re-installing it from the original media should take care of the problem. For illegal software, you should understand, that you are utterly on your own and nobody will help you, much less on the forums of the company producing the software.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 8.3 the maps apps on my ipad do not show current location from my gps

    Since upgrading to iOS 8.3 the maps apps on my ipad do not show current location from my gps DUALXGPS150A
    The data is still being received by the ipad but not appearing on any of the maps.
    Everything was working fine before the upgrade.

    Hi davidisleta,
    If you are having issues with your iPad not showing location information, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Lost ipad trying to locate but its disabled is there a way to find it?

    Lost ipad trying to locate but its disabled is there a way to find it?

    In regards to the Find My iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad feature if activated and enabled on your iPad, if you didn't have the Passcode lock feature enabled, someone can turn the Find My iPad feature off.
    If the iPad is not connected to the internet via wi-fi or via the cellular network if a 3G iPad, the feature won't work.
    If the iPad is powered off or has been restored with iTunes as a new iPad, the feature can't work.
    There is no other way to find it electronically.
