Location service only after initial Internet connection possible?

I have been to Budapest, Hungary last year. My iPod Touch 2G could not find my position although there were tons of WIFI networks around. I found an open hotspot in a café which was run by the town council. After connecting to it (and later without any Internet connection again) iPod found my possition at any place in the town. It was the same in another (German) town: I needed a short internet connection via a free hotspot to get the location service work.
Does the iPod download some sort of location data when I am far away from home?

Yes, you'll need to join a WiFi network before the location service will work properly. See this article for more interesting info about location service. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
...Notes:
iPod touch only uses Wi-Fi for Location Services (if a Wi-Fi network is available)...

Starting OEM Windows Service only after database is ready

I have a Windows Service program (written in vb.net) that accesses an Oracle database via the Oracle ODBC driver. It runs fine as long as the database comes up first. In some installations, however, the Oracle system is not ready to connect when Windows auto-starts my service.
I have tried using both the database service name and the TNS_Listener... as a value in a DependsOnService key in the registry for my service, but it seems to have no effect. Judging by the event logs, Oracle continues to spin out "processes" for something over 30 seconds, which appear after my service is started regardless of what I do with the DependsOnService parameter.
How can I make Windows auto-start my service only after Oracle is ready?

Sure, although "net start" is a Windows thing, not an Oracle thing. Here is the contents of my startup.cmd file.
net start "OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener"
net start "OracleServicePROD"
net start "OracleDBConsoleprod"
net start "OracleCSService"
net start "OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus"
pause
The thing in quotes is the service name found in the Windows Services panel. In order to use this method you should set the services you wish to control as Manual startup (instad of Automatic). You can do that by right clicking on a service name/Properties/Startup Type.
To do a shutdown, I reverse the order of the above script and of course change the starts to stops.

Somebody suggested clearing the Store cache. I don't know why that would affect the radio. Seems to have not worked for some, worked for a few or maybe they imagined it. Many other posts about this if you browse the forum.
This is happening to some people some of the time in some places, but then not affecting people in other places, or in the same place at different times. You try to guess what is going on. Hasn't happened to me. Maybe it's my iTunes 7.5, or maybe it's luck of the draw since I never use iTunes radio.

Is anyone else getting the following error msg on iTunes radio? An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later

Radio seems to have issues now.

Workaround for "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later."

While Apple tries to figure out what's wrong I came upon a great workaround for those of us that like the radio feature of iTunes. This actually doesn't take long either.
When trying to expand the categories you get the error "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later." This happens enough to think that the service is completely broken. Actually, it seems intermittent. Try clicking it a few times. you WILL GET THROUGH. When you do get there, highlight all of the stations(or just the ones you want), create a playlist (I use the name of the category as I take the entire list), and paste into the playlist. You can then play the stations EVERY TIME from the playlist. Works perfectly.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what version of iTunes you have or what plugin you have. I have seen this on over 600 computers - Windows & MAC - and the workaround is 100%.
Let me know how you make out. And, PLEASE SHARE THIS FIX!!!

Yes indeed, this workaround was posted a few days ago at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17739684

I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes. No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing. It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now). Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without. You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

Question: I am getting this message from iTunes on my iMac:
An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your Internet connection, or try again later.
Can't find a way to fix this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeaaaah... I just powered up my G3 iMac... iTunes 7 on there... My iTunes on there can't do much. But it's still subscribed to one podcast that's still valid and working. If I try to use the radio, I get this message. I wager they changed urls and the like in the background years ago and this is just so old there's no longer any support for it.

Two things to try, first, reset your PRAM.
Next, try rebooting your computer.

IChat just stopped working in Lion after loosing internet connection

Hi, hope someone can guide me on how to correct this problem. I upgraded to Lion a few day's ago and had used iChat with no issues. Today while I was chatting with someone I lost my Internet connection. Now when I launch iChat I get the top tool bar that say's I'm connected to iChat but I don't have a buddy list and no one can see me. To test if my iChat account was really active I signed onto AIM using a differnt account on my iPhone and when I look up the account that is active on iChat it says it is "Orphaned" I've tried rebooting a few times, not sure if this is a Lion thing or not.
Any ideas? Thanks Rich

Hi,
The Buddy List can be "Hidden"
When iChat is closed (Quit) and the Buddy list window has had the red button pressed it will remember that the next time.
First of All check that the account is Active
Two places you can do this
1) iChat Menu > Accounts (Logged in accounts should have ticks next to them)
2) iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Account info tab In here the Use this Account box should be Ticked
From there any Logged in account should show in the Window Menu as well.
In the Window Menu should be a Keystroke listing for Bring the Buddy List back in to view
(if in the General Section in iChat 6 you have not Linked the Buddy Lists into one window there should be as many keystrokes listed as you have Logged in Accounts)
You can also Click and Hold the iChat Icon in the DOCK and then select the account you want to see
(This only brings the Buddy list Buddy back for this time only and it will Remember the setting at the launch time fro the next launch)
I have never seen this Orphaned message before but most likely this is a way of describing a Screen Name where the proper Status cannot be ascertained properly.
NOTE.
In Lion there is also a new setting in System Preferences > General pane that is fairly low down that is about starting any App and remembering which windows were Open.

IPhone 4s Location Services Disabled after iOS 7 Upgrade

After I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 7, the location services slider was greyed out and I could not enable the service. I reset the device several times and disabled restrictions. Nothing. This was the third phone that I updated today and the only one to have a problem. Any suggestions?

I was able to restore location services by selecting reset and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new. When the phone resets, I was given the option to turn on location services. I then restored from backup and was good to go. It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

Location service only after initial Internet connection possible?
