Ipad not finding my location, all location setting are on?

Ipad not finding my location, all location setting are on?

If you have the WiFi-only iPad your location is determined by the location of nearby WiFi routers. The WiFi-only iPad does not have GPS. Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing your router and then adding/updating the router's location in the database.
Bottom line: Your Router's location is set as the location of your home in the Apple location database. Therefore, no matter where you go, if the router location services sees is your router, it will report your location as your home.

    Do you have a wifi signal?  In order for the wifi only iPad to get any location fix, it needs to be connected to a wifi node - it's only way to determine locations is by looking up the wifi networks hardware address in Apple's wifi node location database of approximate locations (as mentioned already, it has no GPS chipset to use GPS location data).

    Hi lisaarnett111,
    If you are having issues turning on Always Allow for cookies in Safari on your iPad, you may want to check to make sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled, as noted in the following article:
    Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    After loading the iphone update, I get a message that imap.gmail.com is not resopnding.  All my setting are the same and are correct.  My gmail works on my ipad. Thoughts.

    Same thing happened to me.  Called Verizon, they had me run updates and resync to the local tower (*228, option2).  Took about 15 minutes over the phone to correct.

    Thanks

    Thank you very much!
    I cant believe this little comment has been so helpful!
    But yes it is:
    I explain, despite my efforts to find, googled it, forums, faqs, etc...
    no where it mentionned the manifest.fm file is... INSIDE the .jar!
    Your comment "a zip" made me attempt to open it with winrar, and I found a manifest.fm file inside!
    So far I was editing the one at the "source" of my project and rebuilding it with netbeans.
    I am going to try that now.
    Actually.... :( no its mentionning my main class!

    Oh and I felt on your comment "dont ask us" as if I was suppose to know... i'm a beginner, I did not know that! And I tried to give you so many infos so you dont lose your time if you want to help, especially as after my own research I found many, many results for this "main class" and I tried a few solutions!

    Why can my iBook on my iPad not find the book 'Cascadia's Fault' on iTunes?

    You could use the Apple Link Maker to create a link and email to those who say they cannot find it, may also have 50 free codes to distribute to aid your marketting, if you have a website, use the link maker to create a logo a insert into your  website/FB/Twitter etc
    Its your product .. you have to market it and make it as visible as possible to others, if  you do thatwell and it sells in buckets.. Apple will be happy to move it up the list.

    Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

    Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

    I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
    Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

    Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
    By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
    In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
    I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
    The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min)  the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
    I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

  • Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

    Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
    Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    Simple answer is YES.
    The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

  • Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

    Why do iPhones/iPad not support Flash Player/Java and what are my alternatives for browsing sites using these plug-ins?

    There are also iSwifter, Photon, Skyfire, etc., some only support Flash some support Java and Flash.
    Adobe never made a version of Flash for iOS and closed their mobile flash division a couple of years ago. You can get Flash on other personal devices but you will be using a 2 year old version that has not been patched for security vulnerabilities.
    When the original iPhone was released Mr. Jobs said it would never run Java as it was old technology and a security risk. Nothing has changed since.

  • Can not find my location

    Since i update to ios6 location services not working, please help..

    I searched a bunch of forums and the only solution that worked for me was to change the default DNS from my router's address to something more generic like Google's DNS:  8.8.8.8
    You can find this setting under your network settings for your WIFI, and see if this works for you.  
    Other things you can try are restarting your Ipad, powering down and repowering on, checking that your iPad has Find my Ipad enabled in the iCloud and Location Services.

    @alexMoscow
    It should only be obtaining the very first postional fix that might take time, although if inside building WiFi/Network GPS positioning method should very quickly grab position from previously determined router access point location.

  • Maps can not find my location, or gives incorrect results

    when I tap the "locator" icon at the bottom right of Maps, it can't find my location, or gives incorrect results such as San Francisco, or somewhere south of Detroit, MI

    This is what I did, and it worked for me. My location was coming up in the correct city, Philadelphia, but at the wrong neighborhood, a couple of miles away. I turned off the wifi, and made the locator find me by Edge only. Then I turned the Wifi back on and had the locator find me again, and it went back to the wrong location, but 2 seconds later found the correct address within a few blocks. I have the Original iPhone BTW.

  • HT1420 I can not find the location of the "authorize" button.

    I can not find the "authorize" button on the itunes menu?

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
