Location Services off to save battery - turns on again...
I have Location Services turned off in Settings/General - but everytime I use Maps it turns on again and it stays on even after I quit Maps...so I have to go to Settings/General everytime to turn Location Services off again and again and again...
I consider this as a bug. Where do I report it?

After turning off Location Services, Safari keeps saying to turn back on
I turn off "Location Services" often to save battery power, and at night I often turn on "Airplane Mode", (which I must say is most convenient to turn all radios, (GPS, Bluetooth, Phone, Wifi, Push), at once. However, Safari continues to often send a pop up saying, "turn on location services to allow "safari" to determine your location". Not only is this pop up annoying, but I often listen to several of the rainmaker apps as I fall asleep and this notification continously shuts down my rainmaker app. I have tried to find a way to stop Safari from doing this but am getting no where. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a way to stop Safari from sending repeated prompts? This has always happened but is happening more so since using Google Latitude, which I do have completely turned off and signed out of. Thanks
Cannot see why Safari is bugging you. 1) it is closed thus shouldn't be needing anything since apps don't run in the background. 2) Safari shouldn't ask for your location (unless specific page is asking).
I'd say reboot as it sounds like something is stuck in memory.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go. -
After updating to iOS7 on my iPhone 4 I cannot enable location services. How do I enable location services? I have tried turning off restrictions but that did not work.
I finally just resolved this after not being able to enable location services since upagrading to iOS 7. Posting the solution here 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere else.
I enabled Restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions and created a passcode (I'm not sure if this was part of the solution, but it wasn't enabled for me by default.)
In Restrictions, under Privacy, Location Services was set to "Allow Changes" (This still didn't solve the issue of the greyed-out Location Services switch though - I still couldn't turn it on.)
Also in Restrictions, I also switched "Find My Friends" to "Allow Changes"
Once I did step 3, the switch under Settings > Privacy > Location Services was no longer greyed out and could be switched on.
Hope this helps! -

Should I turn Nano 6g off to save battery?
Should I turn Nano 6g off to save battery or just hit sleep like iPod Touch? I know on the iPod Touch, you should put it to sleep because it takes more power to boot up, is this the same case for the 6G Nano? or should I shut it off to save battery? Thanks!
You have no other option then other than to look for it as you would anything else you might lose such as your keys or a sock. Sorry.

How can I stop my daughter from turning location services off from find iPhone?
how can I stop my daughter from turning location services off from find iPhone?
Settings > General > Restrictions
Turn them on, go down and tap Location Services and restrict the ability to turn it off.
Or tell her if she turns it off again you will take the phone away and get her simple flip phone. -
Location services off in Find My Friends
I've gone to every location in iOS 8.1 where location services can be turn on and it's on everywhere. But when I go into Find My Friends itself the "Me" line has in red "Location Services off. If I touch "Me" (ok, let's not be juvenile) it takes me to the "Me" settings where I have "Share My Location" slider indicating it's on, but it's 'greyed' out. I got rid of the six other iDevices in the list as they are either gone or iPads without the SIM card. My wife and family use this extensively to track one another on road trips of which we do many, often alone.
Thanks in advance for the outpouring of wisdom, knowledge, and answer.
David
Oh yes, I am using a new iPhone 6 Plus running the latest iOS, 8.1. Love the phone. Not so thrilled with the settings being in six different places for the same thing.My problem was as described by DavidHeady on 11-7-2014. In Find My Friends > Me, the Share Location slider was ON, but grayed out and unresponsive. Here's what it took to fix it on iPhone 6, current OS: Settings > General > Reset > RESET LOCATION AND PRIVACY. Both the Reset choice and Reset Location and Privacy are at the bottom of their respective pages (iOS 8.1.3). Of course you then have to go to all the appropriate places and enable Location Services, Share Location etc.

I lost my ipod and i dont have my location services on how can i turn them on from another device?
I lost my ipod with my location services off therefore i dont think find my iphone can pick it up is there a way to turn them on from another device? If not what are my options of finding it?
No.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

i have 1 friend working great, but cannot add another, following me, because they cannot find my location. I checked the help guide ... Everything checks, but i cannot change my location settings because it is grayed out, but it is on.

In Find my iphone apps. You can see that the phone is online but location services off. How that happened?
You'll have to turn location services on in order to track it on a map. To do this, go to Settings>Privacy>Location Services.

My daughter has been missing for a week and has a serious medical condition. She has an iPhone 4S and when I log into find my iPhone it says online , location services off. Does that mean there is no way to track the phone? Please I'm willing to try anything to get my baby home. Thanks.
Without location services, there's no way the device can be tracked. It's location services that provide the device's location to any apps that need that info, including the Find My iPhone service. Sorry.

when i turn my location service my network is lost and joins again and it is lost again it happens again and again
in iphone 3gs
any idea how to resolve it ?OK - more details/info now.
When I use terminal and type this:
drutil eject
I believe the DVD drives makes the odd noise I heard when I booted the laptop up.
Any thoughts?
I'm guessing that means my fan/hardrive are actually OK then, and it's probably the mechanism in the DVD drive that is causing problems?
I'm almost certain there's no DVD stuck in there? -
MacBook Pro doesnt start. When I start my lap top, it shows the apple and the line uploading but it only goes like to 1/3 and then it goes blank for some seconds, then it turns off by itself and turn on again and happen the same, apple logo, line .. the noise like-fan going on, then turn off and turn on again. Tried starting holding option command P and R key and didnt work either. Starting to think I have lost all my data inside
Try a SMC reset.

When using my iMac the screen turned blue and so I turned the compute off. When I turn on again power does get to the computer but there are no chimes and the screen remains black. Any advise please. David
Hello DJJOC,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where your iMac's screen will not illuminate, please reset your SMC by following the information outlined below.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: For Intel-based Xserve computers that are not responding, you can shut down locally, or by using remote commands, or by pressing and holding the power button for five seconds.

Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see a silver apple it's rebooting.
