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?

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

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. -
Why can't I turn location services back on.
Why can't I turn location services back on?
Hi Jalm14ts,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 7

How can I stop my daughter from turning location services off from find iPhone?
how can I stop my daughter from turning location services off from find iPhone?
Settings > General > Restrictions
Turn them on, go down and tap Location Services and restrict the ability to turn it off.
Or tell her if she turns it off again you will take the phone away and get her simple flip phone. -
I can't activate Location Services after installing ios& on Iphone 5.... any ideas?
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. -

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?

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.

HT5594 Why can I not turn location services on?
I know where it is at in location services. I went there and the ability to flip the switch to an on position is blocked. How do I fix this? I restored the phone already and now I need to know a next step?
Hello there, Coratower1.
Although the following Knowledge Base article is written for Wi-Fi, the troubleshooting steps would prove useful for your issue as well:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

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. -
When I go to settings, and then to 'privacy,' I am not able to make changes. The buttons are grey and not responding when I tap? I just loaded 'Mapquest' and want to say 'yes' to location services, but I can't do it. In fact, I cannot make any changes to the 'location services' page
Can you post a screen shot?
