Location Service Being Used by a CLOSED App

I noticed my location services arrow was sticking around for more than a few seconds. This never happens. I wanted to find out what it was so I closed one app at a time and then checked if it went away...
I ended up closing ALL apps, yet the location services were still being used. So this time I went into my system prefs and switched off any app that had recently used my location.
I ended up finding out that Photobucket was the cause of the location services arrow being on for so long.
How is this possible if the app isn't even open at all??

Thanks to you both for the advice! I did use the form you linked to above toekneem.
I'm also preparing a letter to send out today too, as I'm thinking that may oddly be the quickest way to get a resolution to this mess.
It's just frustrating when you're told by the customer support that they'll resolve everything for you and that's the last you hear of it...
I could possibly think of some more appropriate words than "frustrating" . Hope the letter works, please let us know.

  • HT1975 can location services be used to locate a lost or stolen ipod?

    can location services be used to locate a lost or stolen ipod?

    Shoaiballi you are dead wrong
    From the Users Guide:
    Find My iPod
    Find My iPod helps you locate your iPod touch using the free Find My iPhone app on
    another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or using a Mac or PC with a web browser signed in to
    www.icloud.com or www.me.com. Find My iPod includes:
    ÂÂLocate iPod touch on a map: View the approximate location of your iPod touch on a
    full-screen map.
    ÂÂDisplay a Message or Play a Sound: Lets you compose a message that will appear on your iPod touch screen, or play a sound at full volume for two minutes.
    ÂÂRemote Passcode Lock: Lets you remotely lock your iPod touch and create a 4-digit passcode, if you haven’t set one previously.
    ÂÂRemote Wipe: Lets you protect your privacy by erasing all media and data on iPod touch, restoring it to factory settings.
    Important: Find My iPod must be turned on in either iCloud or MobileMe settings on your iPod touch. Find My iPod can be turned on only in one account.
    Turn on Find My iPod using iCloud
    Go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Find My iPod.
    Turn on Find My iPod using MobileMe
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your MobileMe account,
    then turn on Find My iPod.
    Find My iPod uses Wi-Fi to locate your iPod touch. If Wi-Fi is turned off or if your iPod touch isn’t connected to a Wi-Fi network, Find My iPod can’t find it.
    See “iCloud” on page 16 or “Setting up mail and other accounts” on page 15.
    The only downside is that the wifi has to be on and connected

  • After the most recent update, I can no longer access stand alone GPS services. What's up with that? I am now forced to use google location services which use up some of my data allotment.

        ddmathias, I want to make sure all services are working correctly on your phone. What GPS services were you using before the update happened? What kind of issues are you having with the services? Do you get any kind of errors? Please keep us posted.

  • Is there a way to bypass locations services being off?

    One of my devices is lost and I would like to know if I can bypass the location services being off?

    Lame? How is it lame? YOU turned location services off. Location services are REQUIRED for find my iPhone to be able to locate the phone.
    If you had them off and the person who found/stole it turned them off, that probably means they have completely wiped the phone, and you wouldn't be able to locate it anyway as it's no longer associated with your Apple ID.

  • Location Services Getting Used A Lot

    I recently went into my Location Services setting and noticed the "System Services". It looks like these are the items that use Location Services other than the apps that a user downloads. I turned on the option that allows me to see when the System Services are using Location Services and now I notice that theyre using my location a lot.
    I saw the location icon on one time while texting and noticed that it wasn't turning off. I went in to check what was using it and it turned out to be Traffic and Frequent Locations.
    Is this normal? Are Location Services actually being used a lot? I'm guessing this is why there's an option whether or not you want to see when the System Services are using your location.
    The main reason I'm wondering is because I want to save my battery as much as possible...

    Yes; just use the maps app (or google maps). Drop a pin at the starting point, then later you can request directions to that pin. Be sure to switch to walking directions.
    But you should also have a backup plan, as you would with any activity in a risky environment.  Like taking sightings on recognizable landmarks or using other survival techniques that you have probably taken classes in. You need to be prepared for a dead battery, dropping the phone, getting it wet, etc.

  • How do I know which Location is being used when set to Automatic

    I have two Locations set up called Home and Music Room. I've selected Automatic in Network Prefernces so my Mac picks the appropriate one.
    Home location - Wi-Fi (1st in the Service order), Ethernet (2nd in the Service order although I'll only be using Wi-Fi with this location)
    Music Room location - Ethernet (1st in the Service order), Wi-Fi (2nd in the Service order)
    So right now, for example, I'm in my music room so I want it to be using the Music Room location and Ethernet but I don't know what it's actually using. In Network preferences, Automatic is shown as the Location, Wi-Fi is at the top, and both Wi-Fi and Ethernet say 'Connected'. If I click on Ethernet to see the details, it does say in the Status area, "Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.1.74" so does this mean Ethernet is the one being used?
    Thanks.

    There is no need to have 2 personal keychains. To make your life simpler combine them.
    the login keychain is standard so it is best to keep that. Open the keychain access application, select your named keychain click on any of the keychain entries in the main window then press command +a to select them all then drag them onto your login keychain. You will be prompted to enter the password for your named keychain.
    Then when you have successfully moved them to your login keychain make sure that is set as the default keychain and then you can delete the other keychain. Please not do not delete any of the system keychains.

  • TS1702 Location Services Indicator stays "ON" even the app is not running

    Location services Indicator is "ON" even I close Bing App or restart phone.

    The Bing app is not the only app that uses location services.
    Go to Settings > Location and see what app shows location services is running, this will be indicated by a purple arrow.

  • When using PenMount dvr, closing app END NOW error

    When using FTP-1015 and Advantech PenMount software driver, in closing the app, I get an "END NOW" window and must press a key to
    exit windows. During Real time operation the operator may not be around to touch the screen and clear the error.
    Windows shows a tim out count down but does not shut down with the END NOW screen up.

    Thanks for the response, I have already shut down all of LabVIEW 8.2 and am restarting Windows XP Pro.
    The app that is not shutting down is the Penmount app that comes with the FTP-1510 Monitor from NI.
    The app does not shut down, even when Windows puts up the "Closing Now" screen and times out. The app
    stays loaded until either you click on the "End Now" tab, or if that has timed out you need to close it in the
    Task Bar, lower right in XP.
    I looked on vendors software site and did not find any references to this problem.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Why is "genius for apps" using location services?

    I noticed that in iOS 6, that there is now a "genius for apps" entry under the location -> system services.   Every time I go in there it shows as having been recently used (purple), despite me not having used the App Store genius recently.   It does this on both my iPad and iPhone.
    What exactly is triggering this? Why does app genius need location services?  Could this explain the poor battery life I'm seeing under iOS 6?

    When I open iMovie it creates an alert that says iMovie cannot access the photos or videos on the iPad without Location Services being switched on. [...]
    Anyway, it gives some instructions on how to change the settings to enable Location Services for iMovie, but none of the things it says to do appear in Settings. I can't enable Location Services for iMovie in Settings - Location Services, or in Settings - iMovie. I can enable the camera for Location Services, but that makes no difference to iMovie which continues to refuse to edit anything on the iPad.
    The short answer is try connecting the iPad to a computer and doing the initial iPad set-up/registration via iTunes. (Maybe you can do the same thing via iTunes on the iPad.)
    I had the same problem Basilisk describes, on a brand new iPad. I purchased iMovie through the App Store (directly on the iPad), but couldn't do anything with it due to the catch-22 described above. iMovie did not appear under Settings > Location Services so I could not turn on location service for iMovie.
    Subsequently, I connected the iPad to my iMac and went through the first-time set-up of the iPad by iTunes. I selected some music albums and photo albums to sync to the iPad.
    Back on the iPad, iMovie still did not appear in Settings > Location Services, BUT, now when I launched iMove a different dialog box appeared. Paraphrasing, it said, "iMovie wants to use your current location. This will allow iMovie to use location information in your photos and videos. Don't Allow/ Allow."
    I tapped "Allow" (grudgingly) and iMovie was now usable, and it now appeared in under Locations Services.
    The catch-22 situation is a bug. If the iPad setup via iTunes is indeed necessary to get around the impasse, nothing tells the user that.

  • The location services symbol is always on even if no apps are running

    I'm using a iPhone 6 using IOS 8.1.3.  I cannot figure out how to turn this off.  I've done the following:  1) closed all apps; 2) rebooted iPhone; 3) turned off refresh apps in background.  I cannot turn off location services because some of my apps will not work.  Hoping someone can help.

    Go to settings>Privacy>Location Services
    This will show you what apps have used your location recently, and what apps can use your location

  • TS4006 Find my iPhone app is not coming up in location services

    On my new iPod when you go into PRIVACY > LOCATION SERVICES there is a list of apps that can use location services. In the list the app FIND MY IPHONE which I have previously downloaded does not come up in the list. This means that I cannot turn location services on for the app find my iPhone I cannot find my iPod on the app if I needed to.

    @kaityjade, did you find this out? I have the same question. if you did can you please let me know how you did it.?

  • Website not asking permission for using location services in Safari iOS 6

    Website is not asking permission for using location services when using Safari mobile  on iOS 6.0 (iPhone 4s)
    Steps to replicate:
    1. Go to http://maps.google.com using Safari
    2. Choose "allow" to use location services
    3. Close Safari and wait 1-2 minutes such that the arrow sign (in the top right) disappears
    4. Go to http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 using Safari
    5. The arrow sign (in the top right) appears showing that the location services are used when viewing http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 (even few hours later)
    Why the site http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 is not asking permission to use location services?
    The Nature journal (site: ww.nature.com) is not affiliated with Google in any way as far as I know!

    I figured out how to stop this from happening. I did 3 things, and I'm not exactly sure which one of them did it because I did them all at the same time.
    1. Turned on Private Browsing
    2. Cleared Cookies and Data
    3. Turned off JavaScript
    This stopped time.com from using my location without permission.
    I then turned off Private Browsing and went back to the same page, and it continued to NOT use my location.
    I'm thinking JavaScript being turned off might be the solution. However, there is a bug that causes JavaScript to turn on again without permission at times:
    http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/12/21/ios-6-bug-reenables-javascript-in-safa ri-without-user-consent
    So just be aware of that. But hopefully doing the above works for you!
