I can't activate location services

After i upgraded my 3gs to ios 5, i can't activate location services. Can anyone help?

I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday.  There are many processes that are working for people including:
- Resetting the device several times
- Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
- Disabling Restrictions altogether.
- Restoring from backup
I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.
Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

  • Can't activate location service

    iPod touch 4G 64GB, location service was active by default.
    A few days ago i deactivated location service and now i'm unable to activate it again. I have Wifi access, can browse and use maps. Although i've done the reset even maps didn't ask for activation of location service. The whole location service string is greyed out and can't be activated ?
    Any idea ?
    I know for sure it was active before and worked well.

    Ok, locations service was a victim of restrictions.
    Reset restrictions and been able to activate location services.

  • TS4006 Can you activate location services on a device that has it turned off?

    I can't locate my ipad using the "find my iphone" app because the "location services" is turned off on my device.  Am I able to remotely turn on "location services" via the cloud or through the app itself?

    Unfortunately you cannot enable it remotely.  It has to be done on the device itself.

  • 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?

    You need to have the iPhone in your posession to alter that setting. That is something you should have done before it was lost.

  • I can't turn Location Services on?

    I can't turn location services on. Restrictions are disabled, so I don't see why it won't let me turn it on?

    Define "can't turn on."  What exactly happens when you try?  What basic troubleshooting steps (i.e. restart, reset) did you try before posting?
    If this is about an iPad (as stated in your profile), you posted in the iPhone forum.  Which iPad (or iPhone) model?

  • HT5594 How I can turn online location Services on ?

    How I can turn online location Services on ?

    Hi Al-Amri
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You referenced the current article regarding how to use Location Services on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
    iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    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.
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • Unable to activate location services since upgraded to iOS7

    Just upgraded iPhone 4S to ios 7. Under privacy location services has switched off and switch to activate is pale and non functional. Have signed into iCloud. Any ideas?

    If restrictions are turned on, & you don't know the restrictions passcode, the only way to remove it is to restore your phone. If you have a backup made prior to enabling restrictions, you can restore from that to remove it. Otherwise, you'll have to restore as a new device. The restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup.

  • My CAMERA, SAFARI apps have vanished. Can't turn Location Services "ON"

    I have an iPhone 4S and the camera on it has vanished so I cannot take any pictures, use face time etc. also I'm unable to turn my "Locations Services" setting to "ON" for some reason!?. Please help

    You're welcome.  Let's see what we can do. You mentioned you had location services turned on go back there and toggle the location services button on/off a couple of time and make sure maps is turned on. Then give it a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own.
    Checks maps, if it's still not working remove all restrictions.
    I was going to recommend  reset all settings but you already did that.
    Next I'd bring your and your Dad's iPads to the Apple Store to be checked out. Especially your Dads. A brand new iPad shouldn't be having this kind of problem.

  • Can I enable location services from my computer???? My Ipod was stolen

    My Ipod was stolen and the location services were turned off. Is there any way I can turn them back on from my computer????

    If you set up the Find My iPod service (which is different from Location Services) prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled or the iPod been completely restored). 
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • Can not activate Web Services

    Hi all! I want to activate ePrint, but activating Web Services is not working at all. The server can't be found is the message I'm getting, both on my machine using the Web Services button and also when I'm logged in using my browser. The Wifi sign is giving a nice blue steady signal on the printer, and making the Wifi connection wiith my router was easy since it had a WPS button. According other topics I changed also to manual IP and changed the DNS servers, but still server not found. For example this topic is what I did, and what you also see in below images. Can somebody help please.  I also included some pictures of settings.    

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Community!I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I'd like to help you with the web services connection errors you are getting on your HP Officejet Pro X476 dw printer. I can see based on the second picture you've uploaded that you are using the printer wirelessly? (If using it on a wired connection, you'll need to make the IP and DNS changes under Wired on the left hand side of the page in the screenshot) The DNS listed in the image is 8.8.8.8 and 8.4.4.4, the correct secondary DNS should actually be 8.8.4.4. I'm not entirely sure if this will make a difference for you, but I'd certainly recommend making the change and giving it a try. I'd also recommend trying a Level 3 DNS instead (since this is a commerical unit). Try 209.244.0.3 for the Primary DNS, and 209.244.0.1 as the Secondary DNS. Another suggestion I would make, would be to download and run the firmware update utility for your product to make sure that the firmware is up to date. It's very common to have issues connection to the web services server, when the firmware of your product is out of date. You can download the firmware update utility here: HP Officejet Pro X476dw Multifunction PrinterNOTE: Before you run the update utility, please make sure the printer is connected via USB. When running the update over wireless, you run the risk of interruptions during the update that may cause harm to the machine. I hope this helps!
