HT5467 How does my iOs6 iPad get the location services data from my personal WiFi net?

How does Apple determine my current location of my iPad WiFi only by the location of the WiFi net (my house net)? How is the location of my private WiFi net sent to the Apple Database? Is the information obtained from the router?

The location information comes from GPS equipped devices like iPhones seeing your router and it's MAC address and sending the router location to Apple for inclusion in their database of router locations.

  • How does find my iPad know the location?

    My iPad only has wifi.  At my home, find my iPad will not find the location.  At my son's house, find my iPad works.  my son says it is because find my iPad uses the ip address to find the location; his cable provider supplies the location of the ip address while mine does not.
    is he correct?
    Further, iPad maps works at my house.  It looks to met at iPad maps uses GPS, wifi, and a compass to fine the location.  Why doesn't find my iPad use similar technology?
    Thanks.

    It uses the registered address of the router to which it is connected to provider the location.

  • How does one go about getting the Kit Kat upgrade?

    I've searched the Verizon site ad I can't find how to download it.  Must one be selected?

    Thanks for your reply.  I went to Settings and About Phone, however, there was a "System updates"  that showed a history and a "Check for new software update" key.  I tried that and it returned with Your phone is up to date.  I guess I'll have to wait for Verizon to send me an update.

    How does one go about getting the Kit Kat upgrade?
    created by clydefrog4963 in Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - View the full discussionVerizon has started pushing the 4.4.4 KitKat update on the Note 3, I got mine today. It poppped up when connected to my computer on Kies but you can do it on your phone by going to settings, all the way to "about phone" at the bottom, then click on "software update." Its best to do this while connected to wifi, and make sure your phone is at least half charged.

  • How does it cost to get the disk drive fixed on a macbook pro?

    How much does it cost to get the disk drive on a macbook pro fixed?

    It depends on who fixes it. Assuming that the drive needs to be replaced, you could have Apple do it (most expensive), a local computer repair shop (less expensive) or do-it-yourself (least expensive).
    There's really no 'fixing' a hard drive - it either works or it doesn't. What leads you to believe that your drive needed repair (or replacement)?

  • How does WebLogic 8.1 get the BASE HREF value?

    We have a WebLogic 8.1 SP4 server with a Juniper DX load balancer in front. We are trying to get Juniper to handle all the SSL traffic for the WebLogic application. Between Juniper and WebLogic, it would be just HTTP and between Juniper and web clients it would be HTTPS. One of the main issues we are seeing is that Struts HTML:BASE tag is returning the Juniper address as we expected, with the correct SSL port and application context/paths. However, the protocol for this base href is set to HTTP and not HTTPS. Consequently, our pages do not load properly.
    I am trying to understand where this value comes from. The underlying code uses request.getScheme() to get the protocol. So, we could "customize" the tags to work around this, but that is a hack that I am trying to avoid. I assume that the HTTP stack that WebLogic 8.1 uses is providing this info from the HTTP request. Does this come from the web browser? How does WebLogic get this to put it into the request object in the web container? We have sniffed the HTTP headers on the web client side and we cannot see where this is coming from.

    I remember facing a similar issue with webloigc 8.1 and apache
    I dont think its a problem with the tag..
    I think i have changed the transport-guarantee in web.xml
    If you have NONE try setting that to CONFIDENTIAL and vice versa

  • How does a web site know the location of my computre?

    Some web sites, those I have not visited before, show the city where I am located. How does that happen and how do I turn it off?

    hello jbrener, websites can also approximate your location by the ip address your ISP is assigning to you - there's no way around that (without using a vpn service or a proxy which disguises your ip address).

  • How to get the week start date from ISO week number

    Hi,
    I have a table with the following stucture
    Year    error    Week1     week2   week3 ......week53
    2012       error1     2           4         2             1
    2012       error2    3          0        1                 1I was hoping to get something like select year, error, week1||'Week start date which is a monday of that week' , week2||'Week start date,again monday',....week53 from table
    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks,
    Sun

    Hi, Sun,
    To see when week N started, add 7 * (N - 1) days to the beginning of the year. (By definition, the beginning of the ISO year is the start of week 1 of the ISO year.)
    To see when week 22 of the current year started:
    SELECT  TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'IYYY') + (7 * (22 - 1))
    FROM    dual
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

  • How do i change SSRS authentication to a service account from a person account?

    I have set up a SQL Express 2012 Reporting Service as follows :-
    In the RS Configuration Manager :-
    Use Build in A/c ---> Local System
    SSL Certificate ----> Blank.
    Execution account ----> Blank
    In the Report Manager, New Role Assignment section
    BUILTIN\Administrator ---> Content Manager
    MyDomainName\MyUserID ----> (All actions)
    NT AUTHORITY\IUSR ----> (All actions)
    In the web.config of the ASP.NET accessing this Report server
    ReportServerUsername ----> UserName of a person in the domain
    ReportServerPassword -----> Password of this person in the domain
    ReportServerDomainname -----> Domain name
    In the rsreportservice.config file in the Program Files/ReportingServer
    <AuthenticationTypes>
    <RSWindowsNegotiate/>
    <RSWindowsNTLM/>
    </AuthenticationTypes>
    In the ASPX.cs page which calls the Reports in the ReportServer
    creating instance of Report Server Credentials as follows :-
    IReportServerCredentials irsc = new CustomReportCredentials(strReportServerUsername, sstrReportServerPassword, strReportServerDomainname); rpt.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = irsc;
    The CustomReportCredentials Class is as follows
    public class CustomReportCredentials : IReportServerCredentials { private readonly string _userName; private readonly string _passWord; private readonly string _domainName;
    public CustomReportCredentials(string userName, string passWord, string domainName)
    _userName = userName;
    _passWord = passWord;
    _domainName = domainName;
    public System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity ImpersonationUser
    get { return null; }
    public ICredentials NetworkCredentials
    get { return new NetworkCredential(_userName, _passWord, _domainName); }
    public bool GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string user,
    out string password, out string authority)
    authCookie = null;
    user = password = authority = null;
    return false;
    My question :- Since i dont want the Windows UserName and Password of the user to be the authenticating identity, and replace it with NT AUTHORITY\IUSR, how do i do it ? If i replace User name in Web.config with NT AUTHORITY\IUSR and password = "".
    i get 401.
    Chak

    Hi chakira,
    If I understood correctly, you want the NT AUTHORITY\IUSR to be able to access SQL Server Reporting Service(SSRS).
    For security concerns, it is not suggested. Enable NT AUTHORITY\IUSR the access to SSRS means everyone can access the SSRS. Please don't use it in production environment!
    Anyway, if you would still like to know how to do it, please follow these steps:
    Remove the credential set to rpt.ServerReport. It means the following two lines code can be commented. Without a explicit credential, the default credential "NT AUTHORITY\IUSR" will be used.
    IReportServerCredentials irsc = new CustomReportCredentials(strReportServerUsername, sstrReportServerPassword, strReportServerDomainname); rpt.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = irsc;
    Enable anonymous access for SSRS, follow by this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jameswu/archive/2008/07/15/anonymous-access-in-sql-rs-2008.aspx
    Here is the disclaimer again:
    DO NOT USE ANONYMOUS AUTH!
    NEVER USE IT IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!
    Thanks,

  • How to get the real-time data from a CCD camera in labview?

    I am going to setup a monitor system and need to acquire the intensity of each pixel at each second from a CCD camera. Also, I need to to some simple calculations with these real-time data at every moment to get my finanl output in this monitor system.
    How may I do this using Labview?
    Thank you very much.
    Kai

    We don't have special powers, so we can't guess if you have Imaq Vision or not, if your camera comes with a LabVIEW driver, if it has an USB interface, or firewire, or a dedicated NI card, if you just want to detect a move, or a change in intensity, etc...
    So, try to be more specific with your question, that will helps a lot

  • Missing location services icon from the first page (ios 6)

    Everything was fine after upgrading to ios 6, but after I used the cellular data the location services disappeared from the first page of settings instead appeared personal hotspot.This is normal or this is a bug and how can I restore everything as it was?

    Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!  Thanks so much Steve A.  Double tapping the Home button does toggle the player controls on and off from the lock screen.
    I was hoping it would be something simple like that.
    Just wondering, is that functionality explained somewhere?  As I wrote in my first post I did several searches to come up with a fix or explanation for this issue.
    Cheers.
