I cant seem to get maps to find my location anymore. it used to work, but ny in recent days.

Nope, it doesn't help, because unfortunately, it's wrong. the Touch will have a stab at detecting location via WiFi. It uses technology from Skyhook wireless that attempts to triangulate your position using the signals from known WiFi networks. It finds my home (in East London) with surprising accuracy.
Now, I can imagine that there are lots of reasons why this system may stop working, there could be local RF interference, *or one of the local reference networks might be down, or there could be a problem at Skyhook HQ*. My best guess is that if the original poster tries from another location, it could well be that the system will be working again.
That's probably what it was, their system was down (since I tried in two different locations). It's working again

  • My ipod touch no longer finds my location via my router after ios 5 update

    After I updated my ipod touch to ios5 it can no longer find my location when its on wifi using my airport express router . It has no problem when I'm using another router in another physical location... it finds its location perfectly. Only has a problem using my router at on home on my wifi network. I've seen posts online about this problem but no clear solutions. I've tried re-setting both devices as well as registering the router on skyhook but to no avail. Does anybody have any ideas about how to work around this.

    - Apple no longer uses Skyhook. They have their own database and they update it from data they optain via iPhones. No one has found a way to tell Apple to add or update a router location.
    - Power off and then back on the router.
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Maps can not find my location, or gives incorrect results

    when I tap the "locator" icon at the bottom right of Maps, it can't find my location, or gives incorrect results such as San Francisco, or somewhere south of Detroit, MI

    This is what I did, and it worked for me. My location was coming up in the correct city, Philadelphia, but at the wrong neighborhood, a couple of miles away. I turned off the wifi, and made the locator find me by Edge only. Then I turned the Wifi back on and had the locator find me again, and it went back to the wrong location, but 2 seconds later found the correct address within a few blocks. I have the Original iPhone BTW.

  • Any body has the problem that the map can't find your location?

    I have the problem that the map doesn't give my location correctly. Is it because of my wifi net work? or it's the map's bug?

    Yes I had this problem, a restore fixed it (I didn't restore because of that problem but after the restore it was able to find my current location again)...

  • Maps app not finding my location after upgrading my iPad to 4.3.3

    Most of my other apps are having the same problem. The location services is on for the apps that are doing this. Is any one else having this problem?

    Spent all night on this, ended up completely wiping the iPad from scratch, still no location services.
    (I also tried, unsuccessully, to downgrade to 4.3.2, but hit problems)
    I've seen other people mentioning this problem and being able to solve it with the simplest things, like resetting Network Settings under Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.  We've a second pad that hasn't been upgraded yet and it's working fine, so this is yet another botched upgrade from Apple.

  • Ios7 won't find my location

    Upgraded from IOS6 to IOS7. Now google maps won't find my location despite activating location services in settings
    Help!

    It will not always find your location. Have you upgraded to 1.1.4? You can submit your location here:

  • Find my iphone map no longer moving and scrolling as before

    I have tried this question on another forum where someone else had the same problem, but there's been no further response, so I'll try my luck here.
    I regularly use Find my iPhone to keep track of my autistic son, who has an iPhone 4, when he is out with his support worker. For the last couple of months when using the app the map no longer moves and centres itself automatically to the whereabouts of the green dot when the phone is located, so I therefore have to hunt around to where I expect he may be. Also the map no longer zooms in and out as before using the mouse wheel. Instead I have to use the buttons in the corner of the map.
    It happens on both Chrome and IE browsers on Windows 8.1, and all software/apps are up to date.

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

  • After yesterday's "upgrade", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library.  It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.

    After yesterday's "update", iTunes can no longer find and play my music library.  It points to the correct location in "Advanced", but clearly iTunes is not actually seeing it.  What gives?  And why does Apple force these constant updates that just screw up everything?  It was all working fine yesterday before I ran the update.

    Does anyone know where I can get support for this issue?

  • Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not.

    Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not. Can anyone help?

    If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

  • Apps on computer but in a different folder.  Can I merge them?I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find".  They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them.  Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

    That did the trick! Thank you.
    The free trial is all I needed to migrate my iPod Touch library into my main iTunes library. For those that want to use this tool for the same needs there are some things that need to be moved manually, e.g. Apps. But you can do it within the program very easily. Also iBooks/PDFs etc. need to be moved manually. The help section will point you in the right direction.
    No more switching iTunes libraries for me.

  • Maps App w/ Find Location Error

    Hey Again Everybody!
    I was bored and was messing around with maps to see if it could find this lake(i already knew how to get there) and when i clicked the find location button to find my location it says
    "Unable to find location"
    I heard that it "triangulates" your possition (i dont care about spelling ATM.)so does that mean i need to have three registered networks or like three or more networks near me?
    It wold be a lot easier.
    Please Help! :S
    -Nick
    P.S: Do i need to go into contacts, register myself, and add something that tells it that i am that person so it know what country i am in. I think i confused it being not in the USA. LOL!!!!!!

    Were you connected to a WiFi network when you tried this? First, for Maps to localize you, you must have a functioning WiFi connection. If there are other access points within range, that helps localize better (smaller diameter circle around your location). The "triangulation" applies more to the iPhone, which in addition to WiFi points uses cell towers (not possible on the IPT). The WiFi locator relies on the Skyhook database; you can request WiFi points be added to the database here:

  • Hello dear sir I have iPad and I upgrade it after than it couldn't find my location by map

    Hello dear sir I have iPad and I upgrade it after than it couldn't find my location by map?

    You don't have to have the sim for the GPS unit to work. Go outside where there are no obstructions, Reset your iPad (hold down the sleep and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons) and then try it again.

  • In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File?  The file "properties" tab is no longer available.

    I typically have several open Preview files at any one time and often forget where, sometimes if, I saved them.  In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File?  Tried holding option + command in spotlight but I don't see a path name appear anywhere. 

    Yes, cmd-option on a file you choose in Spotlight and the path will appear at the bottom of the Preview window.
    EDIT: Also, if it is bookmarked the path is in Bookmarks.
