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.

Reminders.app would like to use your current location.

When I set a location-based Reminder on my iPhone 5S, a window pops up on my Mavericks-iMac asking permission, "'Reminders.app' would like to use your current location," along with radio buttons offering OK or Don't Allow. I have scoured settings on my phone and on my Mavericks iMac--I should not be getting this message.
Your thoughts appreciated.

I'd suggest everyone else uses that page too. Apple probably don't read these posts so if you have something to say direct it at the iOS or OS X feedback forms.

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

...would like to use your current location

Every application I've installed that features location services prompts me to use my current location. Despite the claims that these messages are supposed to disappear after pressing "Okay" twice, each program continues to ask.
It seems like an unnecessary and excessive precaution. Why isn't the message going away?

I heard, but haven't tested for sure, that after you click "OK" for a particular application TWICE, then it assumes you don't want to be asked again, and always allows. Seemed to work with Maps, but haven't verified for other apps yet.
Give it a try...

"GadgetTrak" would like to use your current location... How do I get ride of GadgetTrak?

I'm running Yosemite 10.10 on a 2011 MacBook Pro. I upgraded to Yosemite with no problem then cleaned out my extensions including, in error, GadgetTrak's preferences pane. Now I get the above request three or four times each session. Any ideas how to get rid of it. Oddly,I'm no longer subscribing to GadgetTrak.

Well, I have all locations services disabled and have only occasionally gotten a prompt from an app which disappeared permanently after I unchecked it. You must be running an app that requires it, such as a phone or other idevice app or some setting in Facebook (I don't use Facebook, so I can't help with that). I'd check with Facebook support (if there is such a thing).
Your last post - Safari > Prefs > Privacy:

Dismiss "(blah blah) would like to use your current location" permanently?

Is there a way to just allow ALL apps to go ahead and use my location?
Or at the least, apple apps? I dread the idea that every time I start up the camera I have to "allow" it to use my location. I don't care, go ahead, use it, just stop asking!

It's not the OS that decides when to stop it's the app...I know some iPhone Developers and they write apps that pop up this question but design it to remember that setting after a few times of asking regardless of location being on or off...some apps however, only pop up that question when location is off and after you turn it on and tap yes a few times it "should" go away...
Like when I first upgraded to 3Gs the camera app would pop up asking if I want to use location even with location on...after I think 2 or 3 times of hitting yes, now it no longer asks me that...
If you accidentally hit no may that resets the future pop ups ...that I'm not sure...
Since location is a general term and there are some apps that you'd want iPhone to use it for and others you wouldn't...even with location on you will get the question for a few times the first instances you open those apps

"X would like to use your current location, accept or deny"

Are you guys licensing UAC Tech off MS now? You guys made fun of that in their ad's but now on my iPhone I'm being asked this every time I use a location aware app or the camera.
Disabling location awareness isn't what I want to do, I actually use it for Maps etc - why can't we just default to accepting somehow?

I don't believe it remembers that at all - like I said, if you have your LOCATION SERVICES turned off - and go to use an app that requires it - it's gonna ask you if you wanna turn this feature on.
If the LOCATION SERVICES is already turned on in your settings - it won't ask you if you want to allow this as it is already turned on - go ahead and test it out yourself.
Turn off location services - and then go to Maps and locatre yourself - you'll see the message.
Now lock the phone, unlock and go back to maps and find your location again - does it ask you if you wanna turn it on - no it doesn't, because it's already on

Camera would like to use your current location

After 2.0 I am getting the above message every time I use my camera. What does this mean?

A big usage nowadays is location aware applications, such a flickr, you can find images that were taken close to where you are.
If you use an app like exposure for example, it will see where you're located, and find images near you, by getting the geotag information from the image.

" 'App' would like to use your current location"

I can push 'Don't Allow' or 'OK' as many times as I like, but the notification won't clear and NOTHING else works! I can't even power down the iPad.

Have you tried a reset to see if it then works after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Application Would Like To Use Your Current Location...

I keep getting that message when I launch any applications and its getting really annoying. I want to turn it off and say yes to everything, plus... when I sync my iphone to my laptop, I get a message saying "Backup Has Been Interrupted, Continue Sync?" I keep wanting to say cancel.

I heard, but haven't tested for sure, that after you click "OK" for a particular application TWICE, then it assumes you don't want to be asked again, and always allows. Seemed to work with Maps, but haven't verified for other apps yet.

How to reset the iPad - the Location Services doesn't seem to work?

How to reset the iPad - the Location Services doesn't seem to work?
I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

How do you use your iPod Touch?

I'm thinking of buying an ipod touch 5th gen, but I have to convince myself that it would help me significantly before I drop $300 on a device. My question: how do you use your iPod Touch, aka, what things have helped you significantly, excluding games? I've heard a ton about how awesome the new version is, and everything about its camera and retina display, but I want to know that I would actually use one first....
Thanks.

Surf the web from bed and coffee shops/bookstores. When in a store that has WiFi I may research a product that looks interesting to buy.
It is a camera that is always with you (assuming you always take it with you), so you can capture that picture that happens once in a life time. Also the camera is great when shopping for "Big Ticket" items as you can take pictures to remind you of things you were looking at so you can do additional research at home before making your final decision.
Check my mail from bed and coffee shops/bookstores, etc... when WiFi is available.
Use it as an alarm clock, meeting reminder, todo reminder.
Take notes (not school notes, just ideas, stuff I maybe want to buy, useful information I may pick up in a bookstore, books I may want to buy, etc...)
Contains my contacts for friends, family, and businesses (plumber, dentist, doctor, etc...)
Plays music, or in my case, I listen to podcasts
Reading ebooks. I use it a lot to read ebooks. It is always with me, so I can read a book anywhere, such as waiting in a doctor/dentist office, at the motor vehicle registry. And reading in bed is great as when you fall asleep, it remembers what page you were on vs that book that drops onto your face and wakes you back up while at the same time loosing your page
The Maps app is great for finding where something is located, and plotting how to get there (not as good as having an iPhone with GPS, but still useful). Also the satellite images make it easier to visualize where you are going.
When connected to WiFi it can be used for Facetime when calling a friend or family member that also has an iOS device. Seeing a loved one when they are not near can be emotionally satisfying. You can also make skype calls.
I use 1Password to store all my passwords. It keeps them secure, I always have them with me, and I do not need to use the same password over and over again, or make them too simple to remember. 1Password has a built-in browser so you it can substitute the correct password for the web site you are visting without actually needing to look it up.
1Password related but not passwords. Because 1Password encrypts all the data it holds, I can also store sensitive information (such as medical conditions, or other information I do not want made public should my device be lost or stolen), yet always have that information with me should I need it.
I can get the weather. This week, I've been using an app to get high/low Tide infromation, plus sunrise information. But getting weather info when you wake up so you can plan your day and if you need to shovel the driveway before going to work. I find it easier to get the weather from my iOS device than it is to use my laptop or turn on the Weather Channel.
Calclator. 2+2 = 4, but there are times you do need to get something right, and calculators are useful. They have all kinds available, including hexidecimal calculators for programmers.
RSS newsfeed reader (I follow about 20+ feeds, including these discussions groups via RSS feeds).
Travel services. Most airports have WiFi, and you can get updated travel info for your flights via some speciallized travel apps.
If you are into tracking your car mileage, gas usage, maintenance costs, etc..., there are apps for that.
While you can watch video on your iOS device (downloaded movies, YouTube), you can also stream movies from services such as Netflix. This can be useful when traveling, or if you are stuck in bed with a cold, or if you have lost control of the "Remote" and do not want to watch "Dancing with the Stars"
TV related, there are apps that will give you the TV schedule for your area, so you can browse the shows on this evening.
List. You can keep lists, including grocery shopping lists, items to pack for a trip lists, things to do for that bathroom remodel, things you need to get before school starts, Christmas lists, etc.... NOTE: Ideas for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gifts may come anytime during the year, but if you do not write them down, you may be scratching your head when the event arrives. Putting them in a list can help you later on.
You can get a Level app. You may laugh, but I have actually used my iOS device to check if something was level. It was there, and a carpenters level was not. Not perfect, but it did what I needed at the time.
Finding a good resturante (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc...). The iOS device can be very helpful in finding a good nearby place to eat when away from home, or even discovering a new play where you live to get out of that eat at the same place rut.
That is some of the things I use my iOS device for.

PB2 issue Bing Maps says 'Unable to determine your current location'

PB2 issue Bing Maps says 'Unable to determine your current location'.
please help..

That happens if you are indoors and the App canot locate your GPS location.
You may have to take your PB outside for a minute or so so it can get a fix on your location.
Have you tried Google Maps or the MapApp from App World that also uses Google Maps?
They are much better than Bing Map.
