Location services ... only  3 of 4 macs seem to work ...

I have four Macs ... an iMac(early 2009), 17" MBP (2010), 13" MBP (2010) and a white MB (2010).
They all use the same Apple ID, all have location services switched on, and within the preferences iCloud section, all have 'find my mac" enabled.
When I log onto iCloud and choose find my 'iphone' (!!!) I can see all four devices on the map.
Three of them show the correct location (they are all sitting next to me on my home network at the moment)
The 17" does not show a location.
The 17" is not the oldest.
Does anybody have any suggestions at to why the 17" will not show a location when registered to the same acount and on the same network?
Is there a setting that I may have missed?
Thanks.

  • 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)...

  • Compass, Location Services and Some times 3G connectivity don't work

    Hi all,
    Currently I am experiencing problems with the compass and location services.
    The compass does not work at all, it appears to be only ever pointing North at 0 degrees. The location services on the google maps app refuses to locate my position, not matter where I try it (I've tried outside, inside, built up areas, open areas)
    I have tried resetting the compass, but it does nothing, I have tried force quitting, and restarting the iPhone, still nothing, I have also reset all settings, still nothing.
    Has anyone heard of problems like these, or is it probably a faulty unit?
    Cheers.

    What about a full restore using "Set up as new iPhone" has that ben done yet...with the other steps you've already completed this would be the last step to try...also because the Genius Bar will just make you if you haven't yet already before they give a new phone to you...
    resetting network settings may fix the location issue...as well as toggling that setting a few times between on and off...
    the compass is usually only accurate outside for me and I don't use it often due to this fact...

  • Location services on iPad 3rd gen with wifi not working.

    We use iZettle for business payment solution at our store, and we switch between iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd generation... The phone is working, but the iPad that is stationary at our shop ALWAYS fails when we resync the bank terminal. Most likely because the Location services is showing a place far away from where we are...
    We get the ipad to work after hours spent to reset Network settings and a lot of things... But we cannot do business this way... I am sad to say, be we are thinking of going to Samsung Galaxy or something... Because this is ridiculous...
    I think Apple should fix this in some way...

    Location services cause problem because of the wifi network: iPad relies on databases of location of wifi router, and the router you have was probably used somewhere "far away" before. You have 2 options:
    change router and network name
    or sell your iPad 3rd Generation wifi model and get a (second hand) iPad erg gen cellular model. it should cost about 50$ more than what you sold the iPad at. you won't need an access plan, the cellular model has a GPS chip that will solve your problems. (unless the building you're in is full of concrete, preventing GPS communication: check if phones in the building can access GPS before "changing" iPads.

  • Migrating from PPC to Intel. Copied iTunes library manually to default location, but iTunes won't recognize it - seems to work, but no songs visible. Using Lion on Mac Mini Server.

    I've never had iTunes fail to recognize a library when I moved it to another location, or restored it to the default location. It always just works. But not this time.
    I copied my roughly 30G library into the default location, but iTunes doesn't see it at all.
    I have no idea what to try next. Help.

    Did you copy everything? Media folders, library files, artwork folders, etc?  Did you put them in the default location of Music/iTunes/iTunes ?
    You can also try starting iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to where you did put the library file.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • RAR Web service violation limit setting does not seem to work

    In RAR under config - preformance tuning one can configure the limit for violations of the webservice between RAR and CUP.
    If I set this to 20000, 100000 or even 1.5 miillion I still get the message:
    Risk analysis failed: EXCEPTION_FROM_THE_SERVICEViolations exceeds the threshold limit
    Even though the CUP request only hold a very limited number of violations.
    Does this setting require a server restart or a webservice restart before it works? Or is this a bug in AC 5.3 SP 11.2?
    Edited by: S. Pados on Aug 12, 2010 10:45 AM

    Thanks Sunny,
    But info in the note is well known with us. We have set the parameter however it seems to be ignored as the user in CUP request has a low number of violations and we still get the error even though the threshold has a very high value.

  • Location services and battery life

    I see this from the Apple site regarding reducing power consumption:
    "Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed."
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    I can read this advice two ways:
    1. Turn off Location Services in the Settings when not using Location Services. As long as Location Services is turned on in Settings, you are using more of the battery.
    or
    2. I can leave Location Services on in the Settings without reducing battery life. It is only when I use an application that uses Location Services that battery life is reduced.
    Which is it?

    Either one. When you see the white/purple arrow on the top, an application you are using has enabled Location Services for itself. While the app is running in either the foreground or background, LS continues to run until the app is either closed or has been force closed through the multitask bar.
    LS only uses battery life when it either picks the GPS or the cellular towers to continuously ping your location. But the LS doesn't use as much power as believed. It's actually a combination of things such as GPS and Internet and Music or GPS, Internet and Camera.
    Most people keep the LS running as it does little harm to battery life. Some turn it off or turn off certain apps to protect their privacy as they are broadcasting on a social network their approximate location such as LOOPT to friends that you are in a restaurant.

  • Does "Location Services" always drain the battery when enabled?

    Hi,
    I've read lots of things that say if you want to save battery power, disabled "Location Services".
    I find it annoying that on the odd occasion that I want to use Location Services, say, to find an ATM near where I am, I have to go into settings and enable it, and then go back into the app I tried to use, and go and enter my search again, etc.
    Now, I understand that if my phone is actually trying to find my location, that is should use some power.
    But my question is... If I have Location Services switched on, and I am not actually using any app that is trying to find my location, does my phone actually use any more power than if Location Services is disabled?

    Tamara wrote:
    It does not use extra power to have Location Services enabled if you're not using the app.
    I leave Location Services on all the time and I have decent battery life.
    I agree that having location services on doesn't use battery unless an app is using it. Now none of us can say for sure about that since we don't know the software/hardware and how they talk/work and as the other poster said, powers the GPS chip. Just because the service is on, for all we know the OS only powers on the chip then "when needed"
    From looking at the "Optimize Your Settings" from http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html They say:
    Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.
    While for WiFi/Bluetooth, etc they say turn off, not just minimize use of "applications" that use it. That is because WiFi and Bluetooth have to actively beacon/probe while the GPS only has to do something when requested.
    Just my two cents though.

  • Kismac stays in location services after removal

    I tried kisMAC under Lion, but it is not ready for 10.7(1) yet. After removal of the app (using AppCleaner) it sticks in the System Preferences - Security & Privicy - Privacy - Location Services app list. Is there anybody who knows how to remove it from this list? Thanks very much!
    Rj.

    Just found a solution here :
    http://superuser.com/questions/429344/remove-application-from-location-services- in-security-privacy-on-mac-os-x-10-7
    Basically :
    1) Open Terminal
    2) Enter super user : sudo su
    3) cd /var/folders/zz/
    4) ls -l and find folder owned by _locationd
    5) cd <this_folder>
    6) cd C
    7) nano clients.plist
    8) Remove the entries you want to remove from location services list. KisMac should be in this list. Remove both the <key>...</key> and <dict>..</dict> parts each time
    9) killall locationd
    Open System Preferences, should now be gone

  • How do you get apps into location services?

    Location services only shows camera, siri, and weather. My wife's phone shows over 20 apps in location services, which I also have the same apps loaded on my phone, and they do not appear in my Location Services in Settings but they do in hers. This prevents Notifications on these apps.

    What version of the operating system, iOS, have you got on the iPod and iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and what minimum version do the apps require ? If, for example, the app needs iOS 5 but you only have version 4.3 on the iPod, then it won't download onto the iPod. Also some apps only work on the iPad (e.g. they need the iPad's larger screen) so they also won't download on an iPod. An app's requirements are listed on the left-hand side of their description page in the store.
    I also assume that the device which the apps aren't downloading on is also connected to a network ?

  • Reminders not showing up in Location Services

    My Reminders App is does not appear in Settings under Location Services and thus does not offer reminders when I arrive or leave a location.  Shouldn't Reminders have automatically appeared as an app under location services when I activated the phone?  Any solution on how to get it to show up so I can turn on location services for Reminders and thus get the app working correctly?

    Another way to fix this without disabling Exchange reminders is to change the iPhone default calendar to a calendar other than the Exchange calendar. E.g. your iCloud calendar.
    This also allows you to use location-based Reminders again, because new Reminders get created in the iCloud calendar instead of the Exchange calendar.
    This does however mean that any new Calendar item (meeting etc.) created on the phone will by default be created in the iCloud calendar too unless you manually pick your Exchange calendar when creating a new Calendar item.
    Some may find this annoying and prefer to stick to the simple solution of switching off Reminders. Note that this still means that all new reminders will be created locally on the iphone, or on icloud if you have an icloud account set up. Reminders will never show up for example in MS Outlook any more. The way around this would be to install Apple's iCloud application on your desktop and choose to display iCloud reminders in Outlook. This way you would then see your iCloud reminders from your iPhone in Outlook again! Phew.. what a workaround

  • How do I add an app to my location services when it does not come up automatically, How do I add an app to my location services when it does not come up automatically

    How do I add an app to location services when it does not appear automatically

    Have you tried Settings>Privacy>Location Services and see if you can turn it on in there?
    Obviously it has to be an app that works with location services so if it is and nothing else works, delete the app and download it again to make it ask again if you want to allow your location to be used with it.

  • The location services symbol is always on even if no apps are running

    I'm using a iPhone 6 using IOS 8.1.3.  I cannot figure out how to turn this off.  I've done the following:  1) closed all apps; 2) rebooted iPhone; 3) turned off refresh apps in background.  I cannot turn off location services because some of my apps will not work.  Hoping someone can help.

    Go to settings>Privacy>Location Services
    This will show you what apps have used your location recently, and what apps can use your location
