Location service is not working in my new ipad 2. Will i get a replacement of the device under warranty?

For quite some time now my white ipad 2 wifi doesnt recognise my location. I tried all the methods recommended in this forum to get it working again, but in vain :( i wanted to know whether apple store is gonna get me a new device in this regard? Its been only a couple of months since i bought it.. So will the issue be covered under the limited warranty?

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

My iPad Air has the latest software update, since that the location services are not working! What to do? Even my friend's iPod has the same problem. Our version is iOS 7.1.2. I think that the services have stopped working since iOS 7.0.4.

My iPad Air has the latest software version(iOS 7.1.2) update, since that update the location services have stopped working. have a solution?

I have had the same problem, so many apps do not work properly without it! Apple says the internet satellite, the Internet satellite says Apple, back and forth with the blame instead of fixing the problem. Have turned location on and off, reset everything multiple times ( lots of hours and bandwidth to download ), Siri is now working part time, I guess she has cut back her hours for the summer. Even in these forums was suggested to check with Skyhook who does the global positioning, and after hours with them, they ended up saying that they have nothing to do with it anymore, Apple does. All to no avail and much frustration! I wonder if this is happening with the iPhone's? i'd like to know if this is happening with others that do not use satellite as their ISP? That would help narrow down the argument with Apple vs. satellite. Fell for you! Someone please help us! Ta

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.

Greetings Biyase,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the Outlook app is not launching after you updated iOS. In this case, I recommend the troubleshooting steps found at this link:
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

Since updating the recent OS on my iPad my location services do not work. Maps "Cannot determine location" and "Find Me" is running in circles. How can I delete the update on my iPad???

You can't delete the update and your problem probably is not in the Update.
Check to see if Location Services is turned ON. (Settings > Privacy > Location Services)
What model iPad Mini do you have? WiFi or WiFi + Cellular
Have you recently changed WiFi routers?

TS3274 Location service is not working on iPad retina

Location service is not working I tried everything
Is it hardware of software problem

Your Wi-Fi only iPad do not have GPS.
It gets it position from Apple's router data base. Your location may not be in the data base.

Trouble shoot your wifi connection. If wifi is slow to buffer videos it will also have a problem with video chats.

Location services do not work when my MBP or iPad are in the basement

I thought location services work based on wifi, yet my MBP when in the basement even though it is on wifi location services won't work. The same with my iPad wifi, in the basement the location services are unavailable. The iPhone, however location services work fine deep in the basement. I am trying to understand this, could anyone explain. This wasn't a problem with OS Mavericks that I remember.

Location services works based on there being a known WiFi access point in the Apple Access Point database.
While not in the basement, you are likely seeing neighboring WiFi access points which are geo-located as opposed to yours which apparently is not.
I have heard that the database gets populated by iPhone and cellular iPads being located by cellular, then associating that location with WiFi access points visible to the iDevice.
I also believe they used the SkyHook Wireless database at one time, and may still do so. http://www.skyhookwireless.com/submit-access-point
You can submit your WiFi Access Point and geo-location which may or may not help.

I have a problem with syncing my calander with outlook 2007 for iPhone 5s, ipad 1st and 3rd generation. Contacts work find, and new and changed enteries in outlook all go to the devices. Device Cal changes do not appear in Outlook

Over the past year or so, I have been unable to fully sync my iPads with outlook 2007 calander. Now I have an iPhone 5s, and really need the calander fixed. Contacts seem to sync in both directions, and any new or changed cal enteries in outlook appear on the device. The problem is that any new or changed calander enteries do not make ip back to outlook 2007, so there is only one-way syncing (down to the device) but no return, for calander entries.
I am now using the latest itunes, which I followed the recommendation delete all apple stuff, and then reinstall, I have used scanpst, built new PSts, etc, am I am stuck.
Not using icloud either.
Not using wi-fi, purely USB cabale sync
Running on Windows XP, SP3
Now IOS 7.0.2 on iPhone and 1 iPad (3rd gen)

Kept searching, found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23321067#23321067
Bottom line: if you follow the recommendation to delte all itunes software and re-install, it don't work (at least for me and many others).
However, purge the data (certain data) and the data syncs.
I think the folder is Apple Computer\Preferences and it needs to be purged.
To be sure, maybe someone can rename the folder on their system, then run itunes and see if it syncs ok.
The idea is to figure out the least minimum stuff that needs to be touched in order to get a working solution than having to purge all Apple software and then rebuild it all over again.
I had purged other files out of inpatience, but did not want to purge entire folders because I had Safari, and Quicktime software, and did not want to wipe that out, Plus there were software downloads and device backups in some of those folders. But I really believe it is the preferences folder, and I would like someone with the same problem to try it and verify it.
Once the preferences folder is removed/renamed (taken out of the picture) pluggin in the device and go to the INFO (I think that is the iTunes tab) page where you select calanders, contacts, email accounts, etc. They will all be unchecked (because you wiped out the preferences) and you need to reselect them. Then run your sync.
What I had done in testing was create something on the device, and modify something else on the device looking to see what got up to Outlook. I got the good news that something good was happening when I got the conflict message from iTunes, and it showed both Outlook and iPhone, showing the calander entry I changed on the iPhone. Never got that before. After the sync, everything looked good the few test entries were uploaded to outlook.
Now, My Cal is 10L+ enteries, and I am doing 100% sync (I don't select the option to ignore enteries over x days). I also have 1400+ contacts. Before this change, the sync of contacts & calanders took a couple of hours (and only operated ONE-WAY, now the syn is taking less than 5 minutes for this one step.
I am a Windows XP Professional user, x32 bit system, using Outlook 2007, iTunes 11.1.1.11, I am standalone (no exchange server) and have about 10 email accounts (mainly POP) defined. I am using only one calander in outlook, but I have Outlook and 2 gmail calanders in the iPhone.
I am running iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd Gen both with IOS 7.0.2 and a 1st generation iPad with the latest version of IOS 5.x.
If anyone else has success, I'd like to hear, along with your experience.

Just got a new iPad but can't get it to do the text messaging. Every time I put in a "To" address it shows a red exclamation point and says the name/number is not registered. How do I register the people I want to text?

I just bought a new iPad and can't get the text messaging to work. When I try to address the message a red exclamation point appears and says the person is not registered. How do I register them? They are already in my contacts list & they all are active in my iPhone text messaging.

From the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) while using ios5.1 .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?.Which means that is there is any problem in my ipad ? currently running on IOS 6.

Your location is determined from a 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 database is built and updated by actually driving around and mapping router locations.
Since you just moved the location of your router has not been updated in the database and when you use Maps you will see your old location.
If you go outside your house you can be correctly located because your iPod sees other routers which are in the location database. Note that you do not need to be connected to a router for your iPod to see it and obtain its MAC address.

My location services are not working in my ipad 3. ...... What shall I do?? Any suggestions???

Whenever I try to see my location,,,,, I can't why??

First, verify that location services are on and that the app you are using has been granted privledges to use it. Look in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Alos, if you have WiFi-only iPad, it does not contain a built-in GPS chip - only the 3G models do. Apple relies on a database of WiFi hot spot locations and it could be that your hotspot and those around you have never made it into that database.
What have you done to troubleshoot already? What were the results?
Have you read this support article about Location Services?

My location service is not working correctly

We moved in the last couple weeks (an hour and a half away). When I am at my new house, I cannot get my current location. When I go to the Maps app and do current location, it says I am at our old house. The odd thing is, when I go away from our new house, not even connected to a wifi network, it will be able to locate me. I've tried inside and outside... it doesn't make a difference. With these circumstances, I figured it HAD to be something with our wireless router... since that seems to be the only connection to our old house. I tried hard resetting the router, and resetting all of the different settings on it... but when I reconnected my iPod to the network, it still said I was at our old house.
Any help?
Thanks
Nate

My ipad3 wifi location service is not working correctly. Please help me!

I tried to locate my iPad and is showing another part of the world. But frm my iPhone 4 the location shown is correct. When I tried to set time and region it shows the same other part of the world. It's frustrating, I have tried and tried But without any progress. Can any one help me here!!!

Your iPhone has GPS whereas your WiFi-only iPad has to be located based on where Apple's database thinks the WiFi router is located. It would see that location is incorrect, and if so there's nothing you can do about it. The location may be more accurate if you connect to another WiFi access point.
As to the time and date, have you confirmed that the time zone is set correctly in Date and Time settings? If it's incorrect, turn off the "set automatically", select the correct time zone, and you should then be able to turn the "set automatically" back on.
Regards.
