I cant turn on location settings

i cant turn on location settings

- Can you post a screen shot of what you mean by your screen is grey? What screen?
- I also do not understand by " my mail accounts go to the browser URL instead of my phones app". What are you doing when that happens? What does your phone have to do with this?
What do you mean by "click? on location. Are you clicking the Home or Power button or what?

  • Can't turn on location settings

    I can't turn location settings on.  I've tried settings>privacy>location services but the icon is grey and won't allow a change.
    settings>restrictions>(all buttons are green)>location services allow/disallow won't affect the location services button (it remains grey).
    help

    In Settings > General > Restrictions >

  • Turning on "Location Settings"

    I have tried everything and it is still "greyed out" so I can't turn it on.  I have update to iOS5 on both my iPhone and my iPod Touch.  However, the iPod "Location Settings" is on and GPS works great.  I did notice that on my iPod the "Restrictions" is on and on the iPhone it's off and every time I try to fix it, it keeps asking for a passcode which I didn't enable for that.  Can anyone please help me with this as it's driving me bonkers!!!!
    It still doesn't matter if I am using wi-fi or the 3G Network.  (I always turn that off when I'm at home)

    I did notice that on my iPod the "Restrictions" is on and on the iPhone it's off and every time I try to fix it, it keeps asking for a passcode which I didn't enable for that.
    How are you trying to fix this on your iPhone?
    The Restrictions passcode can't be entered spontaneously or by itself. The designated passcode must be enterred twice for verification.
    If you transferred the backup for another device with Retrictions passcode enabled, the Restrictions passcode is included with the backup.

  • My sons phone is tied to mine. I cant even turn on locations settings, iclud or face time. Please help

    After the latest update my sons phone on our account is jacked up. I cant change his apple ID I created for him nor can I change his location services settings, Icloud or facetime..

    your welcome! Im glad it helped. One thing i noticed about locating devices with find my iphone is that only the main account can see all the devices. so your sons account will only be able to see his device but the Main account can see all. Not a big deal for my family as we all just sign in to my wifes id but it can be a little annoying as i thought this was the point of family sharing so everyone can share everything.

  • Since update. My 4s phone is using extreme data. All settings have not changed. Had to turn off location settings. Got any ideAs.m

    since update iPhone 4s is using extreme data that I have had to turn off all locations. Why has this happened as before update no problem. Any feedback welcome.

    I would try to identify what is using the data. You can go to Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For and that will show a list of apps with the amount of cellular data used by each. At the bottom of the list you can tap on System Services for details of system service usage. The numbers can be reset at any time via Reset Statistics at the bottom of the screen. Watching those numbers for a period of time should identify the cause of the problem and be the first step toward the solution.

  • How can i remotely turn on location settings?

    No

  • Location settings

    when I open facebook and beluga I get the notice asking if I "want to turn on location services to determine location". How do I make this stop? I've gone into settings on the phone and it's turned to off but I can't figure out where else to turn this notification off?

    did you go into location settings and turn off location settings for the whole phone? i have location services for my phone on in order to use 'find my iphone' but below the location services button for the phone are the individual buttons for each app and i have facebook off and i never get that popup unless i WANT TO  show my location on facebook using the app.

  • Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location because I need to turn on location services in the settings menu and in siri. These are both on, and after rebooting my phone it still doesn't work correctly. How do I fix this?

    No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
    What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

  • I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

    I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

  • Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services.  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

    I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services?  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.

    I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

  • My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off and the screen doesnt function. It has frozen with a message on the screen saying ive run out of storage in i cloud and has two boxes for either close or settings  But i cant get out of this screen  Any ideas?

    Hi
    My mini i pad has frozen. I cant turn it off or opporate the screen. I have a nessage on screan telling me my storage is full in i cloud but I cant navigate to settings or close

    Try this to get rid of the message.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Turn on location in settings?

    I need to turn on location in my IPAD to enable my photo transfer app to work.  It is supposed to be in settings, general. but it is not now showing.  Does anyone know how I can access this and turn it on?

    Delete the Photo Transfer App and re-install and allow Location Service.
    After enabling Location Service, you can go back to Settings>Location Service and Off it.

    You need to reset the phone, but that requires a functioning on/off (lock) button.  Time to visit Apple.

  • Suggestion: iPhone when locked should ask the passcode if you want to turn it off. We can locate if steel by someone if they cant turn it off. Also they should put a kind of security so robbers cant take the SiMCard out easily

    Do a search in this forum about forgot passcode or phone is disabled because of forgotten passcode.
    See how many threads there are for that, now imagine if what you want happens, how many threads do you think we will have about not remember the passcode.
    Bad idea.
