GPS Suddenly not working good
Hello all,
I have an iPhone4, and my other 1/2 has a 3GS... My iPhone4's GPS had been flawless, been working great.
Out of nowhere it started to have "compass interference", so I did the figure 8 motion to relive that, but even so now my navigation apps don't work well/if at all because they cannot get a lock, inside or outside of the car.
I have tried rebooting, turning location services on and off, but no real luck on those.
Is there something I am missing or a trick of some sorts? Any tips or tricks any of you Apple guys have up your sleeves would be awesome.
I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the iPhone range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working past the login page. A white screen comes up that I cannot get rid of. I attempted a safe start up and that failed as well. It's a white screen where I have a mouse and when I click the volume buttons I can hear it working but nothing else just white. Please help.
Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

after updating it to belle GPS is not working in my device. nothing works right
maps, drive etc dont getting GPS signals.
all apps which needs GPS are not working please help meHi Symbianfear, Welcome to the Nokia Forums.
Firstly please be sure that you have activated A-GPS in your phone settings.
If you have already activated it can you please check that you have the GPS access point installed by going into your Settings, connectivity and then access points. If you have already got the access point profile, please delete it, restart your device and re-add the GPS access point.
If you are still experiencing issues with the GPS please perform a soft reset using the code *#7780# security code by default 12345 if prompted, this will not delete any of your data, however it will restore the phone settings as they where when new.
I hope this has helped

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

ITunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working.
iTunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working. Updated to IOS8.0 (not running 8.0.1) a few days go but was fine up until today. Now, when attempting to play a list of songs (artist, playlist or album) it rapidly shuffles through all of them without playing and then it displays a red square next to songs and won't play them at all. It seems to sync with my MBP but then new playlists I've created don't appear on the iPhone even though iTunes on the MBP has them appearing when I click the "on my iPhone tab. Tried the obvious quit and restart approach. No effect. Does anyone have any ideas?
It's not a hardware problem. The same exact thing just happened to me. My husband reset all settings, not erase all content and settings, after the phone started back up, everything worked like normal again. You just have to redo your settings.
General>Reset>Reset all settings
Hope this helps you! -
My gps is not working. I cannot use turn-by-turn navigation in google maps. I downloaded a GPS test app and it showed my phone is not locking on any satellites. How can I correct this?
We certainly want to make sure you get the most out of the GPS, wplaxico! Was this tested primarily outdoors? When did this begin? Any other recent apps of updates installed when this started?
Thank you,

the version 11.1.4 of iTunes not working good because it's not recognizing my iPhone and I can't do anything.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error. -

Hi
Jalil Cracker,

Could you post the error information? And which line caused this error？
If you want to show Form1, you can use form.show() method
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.Show();
In addition, Cosmos is an acronym for C# Open Source Managed Operating System. This is not Microsoft product.If the issue is related to Cosmos, it would be out of our support. Thanks for your understanding. And you need raise an issue at Cosmos site.

IChat video suddenly not working
Can anyone help? I'm using iChat 4.0.8 on an almost brand new MacBook Pro. The video worked perfectly fine with my parents, and then suddenly stopped working when we moved. We're still using a wireless connection with an airport extreme. Funny thing is, the video works fine with my husband's MacBook Pro, and my brother who is in California. Why would it suddenly not work with my parents when computers haven't changed?
please help!Did the Modem change ?

My Apple TV is suddenly not working. I have tried the trouble shooting suggestions of restarting, upgrading the system, checking everything etc, but to no avail. When I do a system test, all is ok, but I just cannot download /view my purchase - I get a constant 'ready in one minute' message with a wait symbol. There doesn't seem to be an issue with movies I have already purchased. I tried apple online support and a 'helpful support' person didn't respond to my query in 'under 2minutes' - or at all for that matter. Of course no problem with the billing - my account hash been charged for a movie I can't watch. All very frustrating! We have had Apple TV for over 18 months with no problems.
Welcome to the Apple community.
So is it just one movie. -
AppleTv2: HDCP suddenly not working on netflix after update
I have had a working AppleTV2 for about a year and have been using netflix to stream movies. After most recent update I can no longer stream due to HDCP error. There are been no changes to the hardware (cables, TV, power, etc.) This can only point to the update. I tried to do a restore from Mac to the most recent update. I took it into the genius bar and they tried to do the same thing. No change, they only offer the $69 Service replacement. I have tried changing the outputs, the hdmi cable and powering up in a certain manner. None of these work? Why is this suddenly not working?
Thanks for any help.Interesting (albeit, odd) addition to this issue --
on my work system (dual G5, decked out, 23" Cinema), the same issue started to happen after the QT upgrade... however in my situation, the movie would load, but then just sit there, frozen.
The first time I saw this, I started to move my mouse across the web page, and noticed that every time the pointer would roll over a URL link or any other rollover type of object within the browser window (e.g., a link or even a tab or bookmark shortcut in the Safari toolbar) the movie would suddenly start and stop, but just for a fraction of a second. But yet, if I just leave my mouse sitting on top of the URL or rollover object, it does nothing. It appears to be directly related to the action of roll-on or roll-out from other objects on the page, or within the overall window.
So basically, if I take my mouse and move it ridiculously fast back and forth over any one of these rollover items, the movie will play for a fraction of a second each time the pointer passes over the object and makes it highlight... something to the effect of watching a flip-book animation that stutters along.
Very bizarre -- not sure what happened with the update, but hoping that there is a patch released soon. It would appear that it's conflicting with other objects within the window, or it's waiting for some action on another rollover-type of item that is loaded within the overall window.

Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my...
Skype number is suddenly not working for me and my colleagues to RECEIVE outside calls. Any ideas?
When I try to call my skype from my cell, it doesnt ring on either end. It appears connected on the cell phone since the counter clock for the call is increasing, but it doesnt ring or connect.
This is the same for me and at least 2 of my colleagues. It was working all day, till suddenly it did not.
When outside people call, it just gives us a missed call or voicemail email, but does not show a missed call on our skype.
When I call an outside number from skype, it connects.
Thanks for any help ASAP!I think this might have been happening to me earlier. If you wait like 30 seconds when you called a machine said "All circuits are busy. da da da". I was looking for an answer and google only brought stuff from like 2010. It's working now after an hour or so.
Sucks cause I use skype for work and was desperate to find a quick reponse but couldn't. -
