How to set up location services on ipod touch

how to set up location services on ipod touch

Go to Settings>Privacy and turn it on.
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, if the iPod does not know its location 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

HT1689 How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

How can I locate a lost iPod touch?

If you have previously set up/configured the FindMyIPod service in the iPod's settings, you might be able to track it that way by going to www.icloud.com and signing in with your Apple ID. Then click the FindMyiPod icon. This also requries that the iPod Touch be still powered on, connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network whose location has been correctly entered into Apple's location database) and not have been restored by somebody else who my have located the device.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of luck and will need to look for it as you would anything else you lose. You should report the lost item to the local authorities and change any and all passwords to any accounts you may have set up or accessed with the device. Apple can do nothing to help.

HT5594 After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.

I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
Hope this helps!

How can I get location services to stay on inside?

I have a WiFi iPad 2 w/iOS 8.1. I want to use PayPal Here that requires location services in my nursery. It works fine outdoors but inside our metal buildings with metal roofs the location services do not work (and PayPal Here does not work) even though I am still connected to our WiFi network. PayPal support is no help. How can I get location services to stay on inside the buildings?

Left my phone in the movie theatre..what do I do? how do i contact location services?

I just left my phone in the movies...and now they are closed! how do I contact location services to make sure it is still there?

If you were running iOS 5 or higher, had enabled iCloud and Find My iPhone before losing it, you can go to icloud.com on your computer and try to locate it as outlined here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. If it's turned on, still has Find My iPhone enabled, and has a connection to the internet, it should appear on the map.
If you didn't enable Find My iPhone before losing it you won't be able to locate it.

Silica Gel usually comes in a porous bag within a perforated box. Put the bag and the phone in a ziplock bag together. If you buy loose silica gel just put it in the plastic bag, then put the phone on top of it. Try not to get the grains of silica gel in the openings on the phone, as it will be hard to get out.

What does the Traffic Setting under Location Services do in iOS 5?

What does the Traffic Setting under Location Services do in iOS 5?
Do I loose anything valuable by turning that function off on my 4S?

No mention of it in the User Manual and Mpas still shows the traffic fine with it switched off.
Even my TomTom can update Traffic with the setting switched off.
It's a mystery

HT1222 How to find the location service?

How to find the location service??

new File("winmysqladmin.exe");This creates a File object that refers to a hypothetical file called "winmysqladmin.exe" in the current working directory. It is quite possible that there is no such file, that is why File has an exists() method.
If you want to search the entire file system for a file, you have to do just that -- search. Start looking at the API documentation for File. You will find a static listRoots() method that gives you an array of the root directories of available drives. You will also find methods like isDirectory(), which tells you whether a file is a directory, and listFiles(), which gives you an array of files in a particular directory. Then you have to search the directory trees recursively, bearing in mind that you may encounter more than one file with that name.

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

How do i enable locations services, after originally not allowing?

how do i enable locations services, after originally not allowing?

You have to go enable it under RESTRICTIONS first if you chose against it to begin with.... then you can alter it in the other places... So go to restrictions first, enable it, then you can go to the other places... like the icloud menu > share my location > enable it to share where you are.... or Privacy > Location Services > On.
I think a big problem is you might have it on in one place and then not others and there are different menus for different places instead of just ONE place to enable any and all location settings. That is what Apple does badly, they have too many settings split up between different menus.... its confusing.
