Hello I found my answer on Settings>>Restritions! :)
Thanks to me:)

I have a ipad2, ipad3, and iPod touch that had location service working and now none of them can use location service. I have tried so many recommended tweaks but none have helped. So frustrating! Can anyone help ?

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

Why does location services not work on my ipad2 with ios7?

Why does my wifi only iPad 2 location serves not work...worked for years, even when I traveled extensively and returned home. I loaded ios7plus and went out West for the holidays. Worked out West and on return, did not...live in country and worked when I took it to Mickey d's six miles away. Only change is ios7 and it's default to Apple maps. Apple support claimed to have passed this to engineering, but despite my follow ups with them using my case number, they have left me in limbo with a silent phone. This is very wrong and not the apple I have known...very frustrated.

Cause Wi-Fi only iPads do not have GPS receivers in them, nor can they use the cell towers for triangulating position. Best they can do is guesstimate based on the hotspots they are connecting to. They base their guess on a database of known hotspots, which can be incomplete, erroneous or wildly inaccurate. The rise of the problem can be due to any change you or your ISP has done to the Wi-Fi setup you use.
If you need to depend on critical apps that require reliable Location Services, get Wi-Fi+Cell devices next time. They can be used without a SIM chip with no problems (and not paying for cell charges), but GPS will work fine.

Location services in ipad2 is not working

I have turned on the location services, but maps,find my iPad, as well all apps are not able to find my location. My device is a 32 gb iPad 2 wifi only... Running IOs 4.3.3
Please help
Thanks,

On a wifi-only iPad the location is dependent upon the wifi router that it is connected to being in the database that Apple uses (wifi only iPads don't have a GPS chip like the 3G versions do) - if it's not in that database then your location won't be shown.

Location services disabled on ipad2...but they are not disabled? Have checked and rechecked but find my iPhone disagrees ...any ideas? Thank you

Any help appreciated

The app is called "find my iPhone " and applies to both devices...it is telling me that this devices locations services have been disabled ( the iPad ) and they have not been

I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing issues related to location services settings. Ie; they are on but maps cannot determine location etc.

I recently experienced an issue on my ipad2 related to location services. While connected to a wifi network, I found that apps requiring location services would not work properly and I would receive a pop up notice asking me to turn on location services. For example, the maps app would display a pop up stating "cannot determine location". My NHL gamecenter app would not allow me to watch live feeds; a pop up advised me to turn on location services. In each case, location services was in fact on.
I checked my settings, shut down the apps, restarted them, shut down the iPad and rebooted it to no avail. The internet connection was working fine as best as I could determine. The wifi network was at a guest home and the router was recently replaced. I returned to my home wifi and everything worked fine. The next day, I returned to the guest Internet connection and everything seemed to work once again. However, while watching a NHL game, during the last seconds of an overtime shoot out, I lost video and it was attributed once again to location services being disabled. Of course I checked and nothing in my settings had been altered. I went to my iPhone (3GS) and pulled up the gamecenter app and was able to watch the end of the game( via wifi connection...same network).
So, I am puzzled as to what could be causing this problem. If anyone else is having similar issues, I would like to know as well as if there are any solutions or feedback from Apple regarding this type of problem.....Dave.

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

How to reset the iPad - the Location Services doesn't seem to work?

I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

Unable to turn on location services 3GS post upgrade

It works on upgraded ipad2, but not iPhone. Greyed out and can't turn on.

Upon clicking Settings>Privacy>Location Services what happens when you select Location Services exactly?

No location services on iPod 4g even w/ WiFi

My iPod touch 4g, brand new, cannot determine location even when located to our home's WiFi. I checked in settings to make sure location services is activated, which it is. The applications that are requesting to determine location are all approved for pulling location.
Any ideas?

I agree with all of the comments, and frustration, regarding having NO GPS with the wi-fi ONLY iPad2. I did what I thought was a good deal of research on the iPad2 before I purchased it. Compared it with competitors, waited for key functions to be added from the original iPad, and factored in what storage size as well as where and how I planned to use it. NOWHERE did I EVER see that no location services are found in the iPad2, and that every app, function or website that uses GPS/Location Services will not operate.
What a TREMENDOUS let down!
Google Maps, Google Earth, searching for movies, restaurants, site-seeing, and just about everything else you'd want a mobile computer for WON'T WORK. In order to use those BASIC functions, you MUST get a 3G version, with its associated data plan.
I am annoyed that in all of the advertisements and even independent articles/reviews, this was not mentioned with any clarity.
This situation is in DESPERATE need of a fix or work-around that does NOT include buying a new iPad.
A good start would be a new update that allows you to at least specify an address or zip code to set as your home station and all location services use that point to establish a current (or beginning) location for apps.

Is it possible to turn off gps but leave location services on?

Would like to disable the GPS chip but leave location services on. Obviously location services would have to rely on wi-fi connection which is good enough for me. Main concern is the battery drain as compared to my old iPad. This iPad is an iPad2 3G.

Thx

Location services issue

I had location services off during initial installation. Now I cannot turn it on in the privacy setting!

Havent tried anything ouside the house yet, but will shortly... the real mystery is that of the three items, the ipads 1 and 2 and the 4th gen touch.. all are wifi only. If the router was not registered then all 3 shouldn't work with LS. The only possible explanation would be some subtle software difference between the ipad1 and the ipad2(and touch as well)

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

Left my phone in the movie theatre..what do I do? how do i contact location services?

I just left my phone in the movies...and now they are closed! how do I contact location services to make sure it is still there?

If you were running iOS 5 or higher, had enabled iCloud and Find My iPhone before losing it, you can go to icloud.com on your computer and try to locate it as outlined here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442. If it's turned on, still has Find My iPhone enabled, and has a connection to the internet, it should appear on the map.
If you didn't enable Find My iPhone before losing it you won't be able to locate it.
