Location Services just stopped working

So my problem is that I wasn't using location services really when I first got my iPad 2 but when I downloaded an app game it just stopped working. Facebook was able to locate me before and google maps as well. I've tried just about every troubleshooting advice I've seen in this forum. Resetting, hard restart etc. but I'm wondering now if there is a problem with my router since I don't use my iPad except when I'm at home. I don't know of an apple authorized dealer in Jamaica to fix this so if I can't solve it I'd have to send it to one in the US or if I travel there take it to one to be checked up. I don't know what to do next..but I really feel handicapped without the location services.
What to do?

Have you tried taking it out in the open where it can access GPS satellites?
The buildings around you may be blocking the GPS satellities.

  • Location services is stopped working after upgrading to iOS 5

    Hi, Location services is not working after upgrading to iOS 5. How can i switch it on?

    Try resetting the iPod.  I had to do that to get my iPod to show via FindMyiPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My ipod touchs location services has stopped working. I just installed a new modem to my pc could that be the problem and how to fix ? ive already reset the ipod to new status and no help. thank for any help

    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.

  • My location service suddenly stopped working, Help !!!

    Hi, suddenly my location service of my ipad3 stopped working. It was working good but now the location service in settings appears on a grey color and I can't manage the apps. Please help!

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Location Services suddenly stopped working (since v3.2.2?).  Suggestions?

    I have a 64gb WiFi only model. Until today, location services were working quite well (considering it isn't a 3G model) but today they are not.
    I tethered my ipad to the Macbook today (I seldom do this) and received the v3.2.2 update, which could be the culprit. I had also been trying to connect to a verizon MiFi card last night (unsuccessfully) and suppose that could have changed some sort of setting.
    In trying to fix it I have done the following (based on suggestions in other threads):
    - rebooted iPad - didn't help
    - turned Location Services off, then back on again - didn't help
    - Reset network Settings - didn't help
    - Reset Location Warnings - didn't help
    - Reset ALL Settings - didn't help
    - checked "find my iPad" through MobileMe - I ccould send a msg to the iPad, but still can't locate it
    - restored to factory settings then restored from backup. Unfortunately, the only backup I could restore from was one from this morning. that didn't help either
    WiFi signal from AirPort Extreme is strong (and unchanged) and I have no problems connecting to the internet. All of the apps that require location, including MobleMe Find my iPad, inform me that my "current location is unavailable".
    I have seen a few threads about this, but none in the last week or so. Has anyone had this problem and successfully resolved it?

    Thanks.. but not everyone experiences the same issues. My "research" seems to indicate that the upgrade is the culpret.
    I have had the iPad since May with absolutely no issues on any network, including my home wifi network. To see if my network could have been the problem, I took the iPad to the local Starbucks today where I have always had good service (um... wifi service, not coffee service). I even sat at the same table I usually sit and although I was able to connect to their wifi, I still had NO LOCATION SERVICES.
    Guess I better make an appt. with the experts.

  • 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.

  • Apple mobile device service has stopped working - continues

    Hi
    I have a 16GB iPhone with 02 in the UK.
    My first iPhone with 02 had trouble receiving calls with about 90% of incoming calls going straight to voice mail. I also couldn't backup that phone as every time I tried with iTunes, i got the message "Apple mobile device service has stopped working" about a minute into backup.
    This happened continually, I re-installed iTunes so many times, still with little luck. I tried a different cable too. All on a brand new Dell Vostro desktop PC.
    So, I took the phone back to 02 with these problems. 02 promptly replaced my iPhone.
    Now, I have exactly the same problem. I obviously have nothing to restore on the iPhone as I was never able to back it up in the first place.
    Every time I try and backup the iPhone I get the error "Apple mobile device service has stopped working". Again i tried a different cable and have removed and re-installed iTunes several times.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Regards
    D

    I was having this same problem with my new iPad 3G. It was driving me insane and preventing me from syncing the iPad.
    I removed and re-installed all Apple components from my computer as recommended (in the recommended order). But, the problem persisted.
    The error message looked just like the one posted above:
    Problem signature
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
    Application Name: AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe
    Application Version: 16.691.14.1
    Application Timestamp: 4ba3b8fe
    Fault Module Name: CoreFoundation.dll
    Fault Module Version: 1.550.17.21
    Fault Module Timestamp: 4b8cb530
    Exception Code: c0000005
    Exception Offset: 0000db6b
    OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3
    Locale ID: 1033
    The SOLUTION came when i discovered that there were two copies of CoreFoundation.dll on my computer.
    One was in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support.
    The other was in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support.
    I removed the copy of CoreFoundation.dll from the Mobile Device Support folder, and the problem vanished.
    I hope this helps.

    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
    Sincerely,

  • I recently started to get an error message "MobileMe Services" have stopped working.  I use Vista.  If I remove the MobileMe program, will it affect syncing with my iPhone or with Google Calendar?

    I recently started to get an error message "MobileMe Services have stopped working".  I use Vista.  If I remove the MobileMe program, will it affect syncing with my iPhone or with Google Calendar?

    No, just uninstall the MobileMe control panel. All Mobileme services have been discontinued, so the control panel is not doing you any good being in there at present.

  • Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

    I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
    I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
    I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
    Thanks.

    My problems were:
    1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
    2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
    3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
    Diagnostics performed:
    All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
    DNS is working just fine.
    In the end I did the following:
    1.    Stop all mail related services.
    2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
    3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
    4.    Start the Mail service
    And all was working again just fine.
    I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
    Not working:
    inet_interfaces = loopback-only
    smtpd_helo_required = no
    Working:
    inet_interfaces = all
    smtpd_helo_required = yes
    I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
    So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...

  • TS3274 How come My location services aren't working, I've reset the location warnings.

    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                              

  • VPN working fine.... then just stopped working!

    Have posted this before, but was hoping that someone out there has experienced the same issue.
    I setup the VPN on 10.6 McMini server and it worked really well for several weeks. Then all of a sudden (without any changes being made to the server) it just stopped working!
    I cant get a VPN connection either on the internal network (so no routers involved here) or from external clients. Both of these worked before. Im convinced its def something to do with the server.
    The error I get is PPP Server could not be authenticated.
    Have tried restarting server, stopping and starting VPN service, turning L2TP and PPP of and on again, changed the shared key.. Checked the DNS with changeip and that is all good....
    Hopefully soemone out there will be able to shed some light on this for me...
    Here is the log from the VPN :

  • My iPhone has just stopped working and I only had since August 2013

    My iPhone 5 has just stopped working it had 70% charge in it and I've tried recharging and nothing it's just dead.

    My Iphone 5 just stopped working. There is no damage to it and now it won't even hold a charge. What do I do?

    Depending on the age and use of the phone, you might need a new battery. Visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to check the battery.
