Location Service Reset Issue?
I have recently moved and location settings are still showing my previous address. How do I fix this on my iOS devices?
This issue is globally. I have already done the. Reset to location services and verified that my associated contact card ha the correct information. Also I should mention that this is also happening on two other iOS devices and a system running Vista.
I asked my provider if it was something to do with my account and they tried to say it was my device. But I am starting to believe otherwise.

Hi aditya123,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the App store from your iPhone, you may want to try the steps in this article -

Specifically -
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
It looks like you have already done many of these, but there are a few more to check out.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Performance Issues with Location Services
I am having performance lag issues with most apps with location services turned on. This is a new issue that has crept up after update to iOS 4.2.1. Apps get slow and upon exiting the location service is still active as indicated by arrow icon in top right of screen. Any recommendation short of killing all location services? Note this even occurs in apple apps such as photos.
Have you tried basics from the manual?

reset.

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).

Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?
The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge. You've done good things. Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use. A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

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). -
My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.
You do have it turned on ins settings>Privacy, right?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds -

How come My location services aren't working, I've reset the location warnings.
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
I reset all the settings, enable location services so time and date would be auto, update iOS, re-entered network key - cannot connect to app store continues
You must not be connected to the internet via wifi.

Best Fixes for ‘Cannot Connect to iTunes Store’ Errors

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Can't activate the location service on my ipad2 after upgrading to ISO7! What's wrong? Doesn't worked with the resets!!!! Can someone help please?
Hello I found my answer on Settings>>Restritions! :)
Thanks to me:) -
my ipod touch has lost location services after i installed a new modem to my pc . it is turned on in the settings and i have even reset the ipod to new status. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Nothing you can do except wait until Apple adds the router to their database of routers and their location. If you or someone nearby does not have an iPhone it can take a while. There is no way to tell Apple to add a router to their database.

Location services always on issue
Why is location services on when all my apps are closed?
I have "frequent locations" turned off.
I noticed that all of a sudden the location icon was on when all my apps were closed. I went through my apps turning off location services individually trying to find the culprit. At first it was Siri because as I went through the location icon went away when I turned Siri's off. I searched for some solutions in the Apple forum and found that I needed to turn location services off, reboot phone, and turn services back on. Well when my phone turned back on the locations icon was back! So I went through the rest of my my apps and moved on to "system services." As I turned off "traffic" the icon went away again. I'm wondering why all of a sudden the location icon is on with traffic and Siri when they were closed? These are settings that I didn't recently change. Siri and traffic have had location services on for as long as I can remember but are all of a sudden running location services in the background. Is this a known bug? What can I do to fix this?
I have used Siri a few times over the past couple days and this is the first time I noticed that the icon was on. Same with traffic, I used maps 2 days ago but the location icon hasn't been on until now and NO APPS WERE OPEN OR HIBERNATING! I've known location services to run my battery down so I would love some help on how to fix this issue. Thanks.Try going to Settings > Privacy then tap Location Services - then try to off one by one, then u can findout which app is using the location service even in offline mode,
my case "Tango" using Location Service always even it is in offline mode. -
My location services appears to be locked. They are in light grey and will not let me turn them on and off. New app requiring GPS i can't use due to this. How can i reset or fix?
Double check your restrictions for location service.
