Location Services with satellite internet connection

I have a 5th generation iPod Touch. I connect to internet at home through wifi router connected to satellite internet modem and dish (Hughes). My location services always says that it cannot determine my location. Is this typical of a satellite dish connection?
Thanks

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 does not included your router.
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

  • Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.  satellite Internet connection

    Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
    The Flash  Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a  satellite Internet connection.
    It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
    I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

    Hello,
    The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background.  If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download.  Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

  • Do i need to get internet service with an internet provider?

    Do i need to get internet service with an internet provider to use airport extreme or airport express?

    Well, either that, or you could simply use your extreme or express to "borrow" your neighbour's WEP encrypted WiFi network..
    OH wait.. I think I got you. Are you asking if you can use the bases for just a Lan and no outside connection?  You can use them without the internet. It's just an option.

  • Organizer elements 11.  Problem with your internet connection

    I am trying to access facebook and Flickr via the Organizer with elements 11.  I went to preferences and cleared the oline services, when I try to refresh the partner services I am greeted with the error " there is a problem with your internet connection, check your firewall settings" .
    Windows 8, updated.  I tried disabling the firewall.  I have also tried making sure permissions are set up to allow all adobe products access through the frewall when it is enabled.   No other network managment services or virus scanners installed.  just default 64bit windows 8.
    I am currently left with no partner services; facebook, flicker, picasa, etc....   I could reinstall organizer i guess to get the default services back...

    Any help would be great

    I apologize for the delay.  An update was released shortly after I posted the question that resolved the issue.  Thank you for your assistance though.  As soon as I read your advice I went to my laptop to follow your instructions.  Upon opening photoshop I was prompted with an adobe update message.  After the update the issue was resolved.  Again, sorry for not updating the situation.

  • Problem with my internet connection with Mail and others

    Hi
    I seem to have a problem with my internet connection that is through Ethernet. I have just downloaded the update to iLife 9 and the down load speed went from zero to 1.1BB/s but most of the time it downloads at speeds around 8KB/s also Mail some times returns mail sent but there seems to be no problem sending out only that things go faster out than in. My internet speed from my ISP is 500KB/s so as you can see I was at first happy that I was getting speeds in of 1.1MB/s. I have done a diagnostic test through network also fully run Norton and finally run utilities with no problems showing. My ISP is willing to come and have a look at my internet but I some how think it's my computer, any ideas?
    Thanks

    The first thing I would do is completely disable Norton AntiVirus; there are no viruses for Mac OS X, so it can't protect you from something that doesn't exist. It can, however, severely slow down your system. Do that and then restart Mail and see if the problem continues.
    You should also try creating a new User account and test Mail there to see if you experience the same problem; if so, then the issue is systemwide. If not, it's something specific to your regular user account.
    As for your download speed, it's not 1.1MB/s; it's 1.1Mb/s. Upload speed is slower than download speed for both Cable and DSL service. I doubt the problem is your modem/router, but you should try shutting down your Mac and the modem for a few minutes. If your modem/router has a reset button, use it, then restart it and your Mac and see if the problem continues.

  • I have a PC with a internet connection through a modem and ever since i have had it i have had no connection to the itunes store. And even if I try to update anything it says that i need to check my connection, but my connection is fine. What should I do?

    This almost always indicates your firewall or anti-virus utilities are preventing iTunes from contacting the iTunes Store. Here is an exerpt from "Can't connect to the iTunes Store": http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshooting on Windows
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day —and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues— a software or internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Click here to find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If you have not done so already, try the steps in iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshootingto troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
    Firewall issues:
    Windows XP: If you've upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2: By default, Windows Firewall is enabled. As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so, see How to enable iTunes in the Windows XP Firewall.
    Windows Vista and 7: As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you will need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. To do so see, the "Blocked by software firewall" section in this article.
    Proxies can cause issues and should be avoided whenever possible. To disable the proxy built-in to Windows see, iTunes for Windows Can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect.
    If you are receiving a specific error message you may want to see, the "Specific Conditions and Alert Messages" section in this article as needed.
    If the issue still persists, contact your internet service provider and confirm that the ports and servers in this article are enabled over your network.
    The "hosts" file may be blocking the iTunes Store
    Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a "FixIt" to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.
    Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file but may also use it to block iTunes Store.
    To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions for your operating system below.

  • May I know other application that can still locate my iPhone without internet connection

    Someone stolen my Iphone5 in the office. I tried to locate the location of my iphone with my MAC AIR using icloud but I cant locate my gadget because Its already block and dot have internet connection. Now, just wanted to know if there are some application that can still locate with an internet connection?

    Unfortunately the iPhone needs to be connected to the internet to get located.
    Technically, it is possible to locate it if the phone based on it´s IMEI number when it is switched on. But only your carrier on request of the police will be able to do it. Being realistic, I doubt that they will do the effort
    Maybe by chance the thief connects to the net....that´s the only way.
    Sorry, I fear that´s bad luck!

  • Is there a way to turn on location services with iCloud

    Basically that.

    This doesn't make sense. ...juat sayin'
    Location services are a part of your iOS device (or Mac). You don't "turn on" location services with iCloud. You can visit http://www.icloud.com and use Find My iPhone to see the location of the device if you want (assuming you have enabled this from the iPhone first).

    Ned, thanks for responding. Internet access is not the problem, I will have a tower computer connected to Comcast.
    Isolating the laptop  from the internet is the issue.

  • Download CC versions for installation on a computer with no internet connection

    So I have just signed up with CC as I am wanting to get Photoshop and lightroom
    So I have a computer with no internet access, and so I would like to download the CC versions of the software on my work computer.
    Once downloaded, I will install the software on the computer with no internet connection, then utilise my mobile phone to teither the computer to the internet to register the products.
    So my question is how do this?
    Downloading the software using the manager on my phones internet is not an option. (with 300mb per month quota on the phones not an option)
    I am wanting the CC features of photoshop not CS6 so registering the cs6 version is not an option.
    Also when updates come out for CC where can download those.
    (we have had a change of govt so I might get 24mb/s internet in 2019)
    thanks

    Hi Paul,
    Welcome to the Community!
    You can certainly download the files on a different machine and install on a computer without internet however you should connect to internet once in a month so that we can charge your credit card.
    The option to connect to internet with phone will work however updates needs to be downloaded via internet as the size might be in GB's.
    To download the executable files, visit this page http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html. Remeber to follow the Very Important instructions or else the download will not start.
    Thanks!

  • I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

    I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
    After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
    Does anyone have a sollution?

    Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
    Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
    It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
    So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now.  I already posted  a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
    i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3
