HT5594 using location services as proof in court
I have a pending court case and what can I do to have the judge see the accuracy that location services has on my iphone?
I figured out how to stop this from happening. I did 3 things, and I'm not exactly sure which one of them did it because I did them all at the same time.
1. Turned on Private Browsing
2. Cleared Cookies and Data
3. Turned off JavaScript
This stopped time.com from using my location without permission.
I then turned off Private Browsing and went back to the same page, and it continued to NOT use my location.
I'm thinking JavaScript being turned off might be the solution. However, there is a bug that causes JavaScript to turn on again without permission at times:

So just be aware of that. But hopefully doing the above works for you! -
HT5594 Does location services show your actual address when at home
Does location services show your actual address when at home
I should also mention that my wife got a phone the same time I did. Sometimes her's will show the same problem, and then sometimes her's will work fine while mine is right next to her's and not working. This type of behavior would point to a problem with the device and not the service. But then the fact that mine DOES work at times would indicate a software/service issue. I've heard others say that behavior will change when WiFi is turned on or off or when airplane mode is turned off and on. I haven't really noticed that. It's a hard one to figure out. Hopefully it is something with the software/service that will simply be solved with updates.

I disabled Location Services and now I want to enable.
I disabled Location Services but now I wish to enable it. Both Location Services and Find My Phone app cannot be highlighted. How can I restore Location Services once it has been turned off? Thanks!
Hello john r.from ma,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594
Turning Location Services on or off
You can turn Location Services on or off at Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn Location Services on either during the Setup Assistant process or later through the Location Services setting. You can turn it off if you don't want to use this feature or to conserve battery life. You can individually control which apps and system services have access to Location Services data.
Settings > Privacy > Location Services
Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services
By enabling Location Services, location-based system services such as these will also be enabled:
Popular Near Me: Your iPhone will periodically send locations of where you have purchased or used Apps in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple to improve a crowd-sourced database that may be used to offer geographically-relevant Apps.
Frequent Locations: Your iPhone will keep track of places you have recently been, as well as how often and when you visited them, in order to learn places that are significant to you. This data is kept solely on your device and won't be sent to Apple without your consent. It will be used to provide you with personalized services, such as predictive traffic routing.
Location-Based iAds: Your iPhone will send your location to Apple in order to provide you with geographically relevant iAds.
Best of luck,

Ever since I did the update, my location service is shut off, and I can't get it back on...help?

Has anyone run into this?
Hey pitttags,
Thanks for the question. If your Locations Services page seems greyed out, or "dimmed", this could be due to limitations set by Restrictions. Using Restrictions in iOS 7, one could prevent changes to location services (including enabling/disabling). You may want to check these settings:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
You can prevent changes to Privacy settings, including:
- Location Services
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
- App missing from the Home screen (such as Safari, Camera, or FaceTime)
- Feature or service unavailable (such as Siri or Location Services)
- Setting missing or dimmed (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Thanks,
Matt M. -
Hello,
I recently got my iphone stolen. Its a 4S with IOS 7. Find my iphone was on. Location services were off. After stolen, went to icloud find my iphone, device was listed but offline. I put it in lost mode and a message. Put a passcode too. It said lost mode pending. After several hours, put it in erase mode. Now it says erase pending. Unfortunately there was no passcode for home screen when it was stolen. I called my iphone several times, it went straight to voicemail. I did not report the iphone stolen yet because i want my device erased. It does not erase if no internet.
My question is this. If the iphone was turned off, can they turn it on, disable cellular data (wifi was off before stolen) and still browse the iphone with no internet connection? Pictures, notes, pdf files, text messages being accessed? Also, if they remove sim card, will activation lock still work wirth no cellular data or internet connection?
Thank you for your help.If the iphone was turned off, can they turn it on, disable cellular data (wifi was off before stolen) and still browse the iphone with no internet connection? Pictures, notes, pdf files, text messages being accessed?
Not if you had a screen passcode set, no, they can't. If you didn't set a screen passcode, then they can most certainly get into your iPhone and access your information.
Also, if they remove sim card, will activation lock still work wirth no cellular data or internet connection?
Activation Lock will remain no matter what they do to the iPhone.

my location services is already on as well as with my facebook apps, but still i am unable to check in. what's wrong? even with my maps, it always say location unavailable. help please.
- The iPod uses the location of a nerby or connected router to determine it location based on a database of routers and their location. It appears that the routers near y are not in Appl'es database. As of yet, nobody here seems to know how to get routers added to the database.
- If you go to Strtbucks. McDonalds or another networks does the location show in the Maps app? -
my iPhone5 is 'on' for the location services.
as I go to a new app and try to put ON for the app I can't do so because I'm not allowed to change it fro OFF to ON.
it stays a little bit grey,the apps which are ON stay on but the others can't change at all
May I have a little help from someone,please?Dave and Razor,
I tried the hard reset but I haven't had time to try a full restore, thanks for the suggestion. I'll do it this weekend. I am tempted to just open this ipod up and physically disable the bluetooth chip, but I may just go ahead and make a line-in adapter and microphone preamp for the dock connector rather than go through the minijack.
But if anyone can figure out how to tune this radio, its in there and definitely can be enabled... -
since installing the latest update on my iphone 3gs this afternoon whatsapp now says it cannot access my photos. I have gone to settings-location services- but whatsapp is not listed in the list below. Please help!!!!
Contact Whatsapp for support.
There is no logical expectation for Whatsapp to be listed under location services or for that to have any affect on what the app can access. -
My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.
You do have it turned on ins settings>Privacy, right?
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, 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 -
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 do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?
SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much. -
