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 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

  • 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

  • GPRS services suddenly stop working after some time abt 4 hrs.Airplane on off solves it

    I am using a factory unlocked iPhone 4 GSM in India. Iam currently using it on airtel network 2G services i.e GPRS services. Now the problem I have noticed is that the GPRS services suddenly stop working after some time say about 4 hours. Then what i do is to turn airplane mode on and then off or restart the phone and GPRS starts working. Agan after some time I have to repeat this exercise. Please help soon. This is happening since the time i bought this phone i.e from past 20 days. I have tried allpossible network settings and resetting network but nothing helped. everything else is working perfect.

    Hi Syed,
    I have also started facing the exact same problem since the past few months with my docomo service.
    Earlier, EDGE / GPRS used to work just fine from my workplace where the network was good.
    But recently, I got my iphone replaced, due to a network problem, from an apple store in indianapolis, and also upgraded to ios 5.....so not sure now whether this intermittent EDGE / GPRS outage is due to the new hardware or the new OS.
    Did you upgrade to iOS 5 and did it help?
    PS: iOS 5.0.1 also doesn't seem to be helping, I still need to restart the phone to get EDGE / GPRSt to work.....will try out the airplane mode thing....at least that shouldn't take as much time as a full reboot.
    Regards,
    Hemant

  • Location services is stopped working after upgrading to iOS 5

    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.

  • 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.

  • Services suddenly stop working

    Hi,
    I wrote a few custom services in Automator to drive the program iStopMotion (telling the program to take the next picture, delete the last picture, play the movie, etc.).  They work fine for a while and then... they just stop.  You can neither trigger them with their keyboard shortcuts, nor run them from the services menu (they appear there as normal, but clicking them has no effect).
    This line shows up in the log whenever this happens:
    4/29/13 10:15:47.504 AM iStopMotion[187]: NSTrackPersistentURLs: LSSharedFileListItemRemove() failed with error -50 on URL file://localhost/Users/stopmotion1/Documents/2013April29-36899.mov (/Users/stopmotion1/Documents/2013April29-36899.mov)
    I've searched on that error and haven't turned up much.  Any ideas?

    The application still works normally, so I can execute all the operations from within the application (using both its menus and its keyboard shortcuts).  It's just the services that aren't working.
    A bit more info: 
    1.  *Other* services still work, it's just the Automator-derived ones that stop working.  (For example, I can launch Text Edit and use the 'Capture Selection From Screen' service just fine.)
    2.  The error that's recorded in the log isn't as consistent as I thought before.  For example, just now I got the following (which makes a bit more sense; at least it's Automator complaining about something):
    4/29/13 3:05:10.710 PM com.apple.automator.xpc.workflowServiceRunner[207]: void workflow_service_runner_peer_handler(xpc_connection_t, xpc_object_t): Peer XPC handler received unexpected message error: Connection invalid
    3.  Another weird thing:  After a restart, oftentimes the key commands for my services won't work (I just get an alert sound) until I go and manually click one of them from the Services menu.
    At any rate, I have an identical Mac mini here, so I'll probably try to set all this up on it and see if the problem happens there, too.
    Thanks for your input so far!

  • 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.

    I have read quite a few posts about similar issues but none of them have helped. My DNS, Mail, and Web Services all appear to be configured properly in Server Admin. Any thoughts or ideas how to fix this mess?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help, MrHoffman. I have narrowed down a problem (though I don't know if it is THE problem.) In checking my DNS settings, I ran the -checkhostname command in terminal. It gave me the following response:
    Primary address     = 108.66.223.18
    Current HostName    = server.b-hiveindustries.com
    DNS HostName        = 108-66-223-18.uvs.irvnca.sbcglobal.net
    It gave me instructions on how to change it so that both names match but I ended up with both names being the sbcglobal.net name and NOT my server name. I changed it back to the above configuration before deciding to ask for more help.
    Any thoughts on if this could be my problem or how to fix it?
    I also realized that everything in the email response is public knowledge so here is the complete un-obfuscated email response.

  • Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
    I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
    When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
    The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
    Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

    > webcam appears in the device manager
    Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
    Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
    All Programs -> Toshiba
    There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

  • IPhone 3GS suddenly stopped working with wifi in only one location

    This is the situation.  I have an iPhone 3GS and it the wifi suddenly stopped working at my house (just with the iPhone).
    I have an Airport express (latest generation) and a time capsule (1st generation).  All of my devices (except a PC laptop which isn't much of an issue, and the iPhone) cannot connect to it.  The devices I have are as follows: Apple TV, iPod Touch, iPad 2, the "new" iPad, a macintosh computer.
    However, when I move the Airport express to my work location, and plug it into the ethernet there, the iPhone works totally fine.  It seems like the issue is just at my house.  The Time Capsule works intermittently sometimes; random devices cannot connect to the network sometimes.  The airport express seemed to fix this problem.  I have read that this problem is related to the operating system "Lion" but the network was working fine for months and months after I have upgraded to lion.  Sometimes both devices cease to work, and there is no internet to any devices in my home.
    The network is password protected, so that removes the possibility of neighbors connecting to the network.  The name of the network contains spaces and "symbols" which I have heard is an issue for PC's trying to connect to networks.  Both my home and my workplace are on the same internet provider.
    My questions are:
    Why does the airport express work with the iPhone at my workplace and not at my house?
    How many devices can a 1st gen Time Capsule handle at once?
    If I buy an airport extreme, will it fix this issue?
    How can I fix this?
    I have restarted the device several times (both the iPhone and Time Capsule) and it still didn't fix anything.

    Using the delete all content and settings option is not restoring the iPhone. Using the delete all content and settings option does exactly that - all content and settings are securely deleted except for the firmware, which is not a restore.
    If you do this followed by re-installing an app via the iTunes sync process, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will be lost. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your iPhone and is not stored with the app or synced with the app in your iTunes library on your computer.
    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is stored separately from the app on your iPhone and is included with your iPhone's backup which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other selection available is as a new iPhone. After either one, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes. If you restore from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installing an app that stores data you need to access, the data will be restored with the app. If you restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installng an app, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will not be restored with the app since you didn't restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup where this data is stored.
    If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, you can follow this by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup to recover the 3rd party app settings and the data created and stored by the app along with all other data included with your iPhone's backup.

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

    Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

    The solution is :
    1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
    2. Run
    sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
    3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
    5. Restart

    You can't delete the update and your problem probably is not in the Update.

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.
