IOS 7 location services wont turn on.

IOS 7 location services wont turn on on my iphone 5. It was on before I upgraded to iOS 7 but now it is off and greyed out. Any ideas what may be wrong?

I had this problem and solved it by changing restrictions on Location Services from Settings>General>Restrictions>Location Services

  • Location service wont turn off

    After I started using Justin.tv app and it asked to use my location it never turns off even if i close the program. I tried restarting the phone and its still on. It only will go away if i disable the location service or uninstall the app.
    Any ideas?

    What do you mean it won't turn off? How exactly are you determining this?
    If you believe it is still running simply because the apps shows in the multi-tasking bar, well, that really means nothing.

  • HT1688 Is there any way to set password to protect the location service, to keep GPS open? so, the theft cannot turn it off so easy, because once the location service is turn off, all GPS track is useless...

    That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
    In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

  • When Location Services are turned off, does Find My iPhone still count as turned on?

    Let's say I use iCloud, so I turned on Find My iPhone.
    But, I like to save battery, so I turn Location Services off while Find My iPhone is enabled, and I understand completely that if Lost Mode is enabled, then Location Services are turned on and enable Find My iPhone.
    Scenario:
    I go traveling. I lose my phone. It gets stolen. Location Services were turned off (I like to save battery). If the thief were to try to restore the phone, would he/she get a message saying "Find My iPhone is enabled. Please turn it off before restoring this iPhone."? OR, since Location Services are off, would the restore go on ahead without any confirmation?
    This scenario is assuming I don't activate Lost Mode before the thief can plug the device into his/her computer and attempt a restore.
    So when Location Services with Find My iPhone enabled are turned OFF, would Find My iPhone still be considered ON and therefore, give a confirmation message before any restoration?
    I just want to verify that I'm still secure even when I turn off Location Services to save battery.
    Thanks for reading!

  • What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working?

    What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working?  It has always worked before.  It is turned on in Settings but when I try to use an app that requires location services, it says they are not on, and the little arrow is not appearing at the top of the screen.

    thank you...I tried this immediately after noticing but to no avail. I thought the phone died but I kept seeing the light on so I googled some things and it says it may be watered damaged and I'm not sure how.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Cannot get location services  to turn on

    I cannot get the "Location Services" to turn back on on my Iphone 5.  It's like the button is stuck and will not move.  The others work

    Hello celina ambler,
    You might need to restart your iPhone. If that doesn't do the trick, try resetting it.

  • TS4006 "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad can't even locate the iPad I'm using. And I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    I'm using the "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad and it can't even locate the iPad I'm using, not to mention the iPhone I'm looking for. They are both listed as devises, it just says they're both offline, which I know is wrong. I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

  • I lost my ipod touch and it is connected to the internet but the location services are turned off anyway i could turn them on??

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody here knows how to turn on location services without the ipod in your hand it is connected through find my iphone and it says its online but location services are turned off if anybody here knows or think they know it would be greatly appreciated

    No.
    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.
