Maps and other apps using Google Maps

All map related apps no longer work correctly, although the iPhone knows my correct location. For example...
Using the "Where To?" app to find a "Convenience Store" where I am it it suggests one in Austin TX - not convenient as I'm in Australia!
Using the "Maps" app and searching a local bookmarked location it shows a pin on Australia in a world view - a waste of time!
Using the "Maps" app to get directions from "Current Location" to any bookmarked location keeps putting the pins at the same location. Select the "Edit" button shows "Current Location" in both text boxes and is happening most of the time - therefore useless!
Using the same local bookmarked location as a pure search sometimes brings up the world map or works, but the get directions option doesn't.
The iPhone Maps worked great on version 2.

I experienced the same a couple of times at first but since a couple of shut down/start ups, it hasn't happened again.
Even with my Razr 3xx, it was recommended to me by an AT&T Wireless technical support agent to turn the phone off and off every few days or so (I have a habit of leaving cell phones on 24/7 probably like just about everyone else) and even though the iPhone runs OS X, the same may apply.

Can no longer operate other apps when Google Maps is giving directions

I have an iPhone 4s and just recently upgraded to IOS 8.02. I use Google Maps extensively for traveling, along with FStream (Internet radio app). Up until this update (and a Google Maps update), I was able to reduce Google Maps en route, bring up FStream and choose another station. Now, when Google Maps is directing me somewhere (using Directions), when I pull up FStream, there is a blue banner on top of the app that says "Google Maps is using your location." While this is there, you are unable to operate any of the controls (buttons) on the app (and, I'm guessing, any other app).
Now, having also used both Apple Maps (the ill-fated release) and Waze, I know Apple Maps also restricted usage of other apps while it was providing directions. And, Waze wouldn't allow you to even recite (using the mic) or type in an address while moving (obviously a safety consideration, which I can understand). I think they reversed that decision in a later release. But, Google Maps (up until now) at least let you switch between open apps and (in my case, in FStream) change stations.
My questions are:
1. Is this an IOS 8 "improvement" or a Google Maps "improvement" (i.e. how do I complain to)?
2. And, other than having to temporarily turn off "directions" in Google Maps in order to be able to switch stations, is there another fix to this?
Thanks.

Well, I think I've narrowed it down somewhat. In experimenting with other apps while Google Maps is giving directions, I find that most other apps are working, even with the blue Google Maps banner on top. So, in summation, I believe it is the old, out-dated, FStream app (which was last updated in 2010) that might be the culprit. The search begins for another Internet radio app where you can manually enter the station URL.

Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

@ Gypsygypsy,
You will need to have location services on for maps and the other apps that you require location settings for.
Settings : Privacy : Location Services
I hope this helps

Audio midi sync error in logic and other apps

hey everybody,
after a system update, all my audio apps freakout when they have to playback midi channels. audio tracks work perfectly in all apps i use but using midi just clips the cpu meter all the way. in live for example which i use 100% midi, droputs and digital distortion will occur alsmost as soon as i press play. in logic it will take a few more seconds until the audio sync error appears asking me to check external devices. the thing is, although i usually output to my mbox 2, i have disconnected everything i use and have been trying it with the built in outputs and it's still happening.
please note all of this was not happening before the update and the exact same projects played back fine before. i'm positive it's something to do with midi. for example ableton live has been creating text files to its preferences folder titled midijitter etc. etc.
thanks for any bits help!
cheers

Hi,
I have the same problem. The problem happened after a system update (few days ago). I don't know which update caused this.(I updated several applications )
I re-installed Mac OS. I updated everything that the system updater suggested. And finally I tested with my applications. The problem still continues:
Sibelius, Pro Tools (and other applications using midi) can't play midi files correctly.
I also tested Quicktime; It can't play midi files correctly.
Thanks

I bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account registered to another person on itunes. i was wondering since i started my own account with itunes and tried to sync the music and other apps to my account would it erase everything on the ipod

i bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account and registered to another person on it and i don't know the password. and i started my own itunes account on the computer and when i connect the ipod to the computer the other persons account shows up to be synced to the computer and when i hit the sync button it says that the ipod can only be synced to one library at a time. then it says that it would erase his library contents and all other apps in order for it to be synced to my account. so i was wondering if there is anyway to sync all the music and other apps to my account with out it erasing everything on the ipod.

Do what iTunes is telling you to do. Wehn you purchased the iPod the apps and other media do not transfer to you. Then are permently locked/lienced only to the person who purchased them. Using the stuff on the iPod is stealing.

I have an iphone 4s and have installed the new ios download and can no longer find games and other apps that i have downloaded. Where would they be or have they been wiped?

Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

I just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios5, and updated to itunes 10.5. when isynced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod.help

i just recently upgraded my itouch from 4.1 to ios 5, and updated to itunes 10.5. but when i synced my music files,ebooks and other apps, all is working except when im trying to sync my video files. it says, canot be synced as cannot be played on this ipod. but those are the same files that i have when i was using the old 4.1 version and its syncing just fine.. the itunes advanced tab "create iphone or ipod version" is not working either so i cant convert it to be xferred and synced. what can i do to have my video files synced?

i had the same problem but i just got a new video converter and made it convert videos to ipod/iphone format and then put them into itunes. i would suggest GOM encoder as the encoder can convert them and then once they're finished converting, put them automatically into your itunes for you. from there you can just sync them to your ipod.

Application to unblock sites and other apps

Hi Guys, I hava a problem and I need help please

is there any application to unblock sites and other apps???
I have a friend has a Sony Ericson Mobile with android OS and he has an app called orbot and it works perfectly.
My mobile is: Nokia C6-00
thanks a lot guys
Moderator: Changed the size of your font and picture, as they were unecessarily big.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hmm, Orbot is a native Tor client for Android. I did some looking, and there doesn't appear to be a Tor client for Symbian, native or Java-based. There is a version for the Nokia N900, but its Maemo OS is built from Linux (just like Android), which likely made porting much easier. So for now there are no Symbian solutions...until somebody writes one.
On the other hand, Tor is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. See https://www.torproject.org . With Tor installed on such a computer, you could then use WiFi on your C6 to utilize its features. I hope that helps a little.

After syncing I lost my iBooks and other apps. How do I recover them?

I lost my iBooks and other apps aftery syncing. How do I recover them?

If they are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them back across to the iPad. If they are not on your computer, then as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Lost Garageband and other apps when hardrive was replaced. How can I get them back?

I lost a few mac apps when I had to have my harddrive replaced..........since it went out and it was under a factory recall. And when they replaced it they couldn't get everything off the hard-drive. So is there a way I can get the apps back.

There are several ways to get those iLife and other App's from your original Disc Set.
1. May or may not be an option, but at least get an estimate to replace your Optical SuperDrive from the local Apple Store or AASP.
> Apple - Find Locations
2. Buy a Mac compatible External DVD Drive.
> LG 24x External DVD Drive GE24LU20
> OWC Drive Solutions
> LaCie
3. Disk Sharing.
