Maps - picks up my old address as current location

Opened maps in Mavericks for the first time and it asked me if it could use my current loaction which I agreed to. It shows my current location as my previous address which I left about a month ago. I'm not sure where it is picking this up from. I checked contacts and my home address was reflecting the new one. I clicked on "show map" with the contacts application and it went to my new address. Any ideas? Thanks

Try this:
* Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “OFF”
* Locate yourself using the iPhone 3G’s GPS receiver in the maps app.
* Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “ON”

I've moved house but maps continues to use old address

Having moved house my iMac and iPads continue to show old address as 'current location' in Maps

When you reset the Airport Express did you reuse the same wifi network name? Pick a new one.
Barney-15E is correct, wifi geolocation is used for devices without GPS. Basically there is a database of wifi access points on Apples servers, the device reports what access points it can see & asks for a location based on the strength of those signals.
Renaming your access point may help the DB update info for that wifi transmitter & eventually it will become accurate again. The wifi MAC address will also be in the DB, but you cannot change that.
If you have an iPhone enable the option to submit 'diagnostic & usage' info to Apple. They will gather the wifi & GPS data from around you for the DB that Maps uses. The setting is in settings app General > About > Diagnostics & usage.
I really don't understand what you mean by 'keychain problems' - you should decrease a new topic if you want to address that issue.

Map directions won't load unless using current location

Does anyone else have this problem with the Maps app?
If I map a location, then ask for directions to or from my "current location," the routes display immediately. But if I try to use any other location (for example, from my contacts), it displays a "Loading..." message and stalls. This happens even with a strong wi-fi connection.
This is an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1 with Verizon. My Maps app is using the standard view without traffic.

Mine doesn't stall under your exact scenario... it displays the route(s) immediately.
Try shutting down the Maps app..
From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
Press the red to delete the Maps app from this list.
Press the home button twice when done.
Restart Maps and try again
Also, try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS now my maps application always gives me the wrong current location. It worked fine before it was updated during my last sync. How do I fix this?

I have an iPhone 3GS 16gb not jailbroken, that I just synced and updated to the latest fix. Before my google maps was working perfectly but since I updated it always gives me a current location that is about a half mile off in any direction. I have tried several hard resets to no avail. turning off my wifi, nothing. Turning off my location services-reset-then turn them back on, again nothing. Tried resetting network settings with the auto lock on never. Rebooted.. Nothing again..
Help!!! What's the score here? What comes next?

yes, you can update to the latest iOS, that would be the first thing AppleCare would have you do
doing a restore and then putting your information right back on the device is not a troubleshooting step. If anything, you wipe out the issue and then have put it right back on your phone. It would be better to restore as new

I have 16 gb wifi model brand new but Maps not showing my current location

My iPad is just 2 days old but I don't know what is going on my maps are not able to show my current location I don't
Know what's wrong with this please do suggest me some measures about what to do',and yea I already turned on my location in
Settings then also problem continue ,.,,, pls try to answer my querry

Hi,
I was facing the same issue with my Ipad - wifi.
I have found a simple solution for this but it needs you to have a iphone and period of one week.
if wifi router's mac address is not registered with apple's location services server, the location services on Ipad-wifi does not work, so we need to register wifi router's mac address to apple's server in first place.
If you have a iphone, then try to install 'Find my iphone' app. install it on your ipad also.
Initially when you login to this app with both iphone and ipad, only your Iphone will show location as it has GPS location. and your ipad location will not be reflected on this app.
If you continue to find your ipad using this app on you Iphone, and using your home wifi router, eventually after few days you would be able to track you ipad location, because your wifi router's mac address get registered on apple's server with its gps co-odridnates.
This has worked for my on 3 different wifi routers in last 8 months.
Hope this will hope you.

Apple Maps is displaying a very old address location -- How do I fix it?

I am the worship director and web developer at Cambridge Church. For many years we were a mobile church, so we've had quite a few locations and addresses over the years. With the new Apple Maps, when people search for "Cambridge Church", two locations pop up.
One -- @ 2410 W 123rd Street, Leawood, KS 66209-1268 is actually a Middle School (Leawood Middle School) that we used to meet at on Sundays. We haven't been there for close to 8 years. The Middle School is still active.
Two -- @ 14300 Kenneth Road, Suite 220, Leawood, KS 66224 is our old office location. We no longer have our offices there.
Our current worship AND office location is now -- 6731 West 119th Street, Overland Park, KS 66209
I have been spending a good part of two days tracking down and creating accounts for TomTom, Google Places, Bing, Yahoo, Localeze, Yelp, Mapquest, Factual and Acxiom and changing/updating/submitting/claiming, etc. our address information.
My concern is, none of these sites above have ever shown a listing for the 2410 address above. So, I am worried even though I've made some significant strides in updating the above databases Apple Maps pulls info from, the 2410 address will still show up in a search on Apple Maps on an iPhone.
We've had complaints about soem folks trying to find us and they have gone to the Leawood Middle School.
And our current address, NEVER shows up on an Apple Maps search, but does show up on most other third party apps (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.)
I need help! :-)

Just purchased new iPad. Map app shows my current location in another city. Can't figure out how to change to correct address.

QUESTION - just purchased iPad 2. Map app shows my 'current location' in another city. I can't figure out how to correct the address.

That is a problem with the WiFi-only iPads. Location is determined by the routers "within reach" of your iPad. There apparently is a database somewhere that tracks the location of routers and that is used to determine the location of the iPad. It's been known to produce some really cockamamie results.
In my case, it was off by a reliable 200 yards for maybe the first year that I owned the iPad. Then it mysteriously began to recognize my actual location.

How are you trying to do it ? You can change the rescue email address on your account by, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
You can then try using your current rescue email address as your primary email address - you may need to log out of that page and back in. Or you can then try changing the primary email address via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
If you have an iPhone, iPad and/or iPod Touch you may then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log back in for the account to be 'refreshed' on it.

Maps keeps remembering my old workplace as my current location

I have a problem with my iPhone 3G - Google Maps and apps that use it, keep remembering my old workplace as my current location. It is several miles away so this is quite frustrating.
I have to add it doesn't happen everytime. Is there some way of resetting Maps?
Thanks

Try this:
* Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “OFF”
* Locate yourself using the iPhone 3G’s GPS receiver in the maps app.
* Navigate to Settings>General>Network>Enable 3G and toggle to “ON”

Access purchases using from old email address with current ID

I have some songs that cut out part way through because they didn't get downloaded fully when I switched hard drives or something. I purchased them from the iTunes store with my own Apple ID, but it was when my Apple ID was associated with a different email address. I changed my email address on my account when I deactivated my old address. I can't log in to the Apple Store with the old address because Apple doesn't recognize it as being valid.
These past purchases don't show up in my purchase history, even though older ones do, also from my previous . I'd like to re-download the songs so that I have the full versions. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can do this? Thank you!

Thanks for the response.
My iTunes account window doesn't show the Unhide option as the example in the link does. I'm guessing that's because I haven't hidden anything, but maybe there's another explanation? It would be great if that were the answer.
The main album I'm hoping to re-download is still available in the store. The really frustrating part is that I've downloaded stuff from the cloud that I originally purchased as many as 8 years ago, but this one album that I bought in 2012 won't cooperate.

How do I delete old addresses out of maps on my iPhone6?

There's a long list of addresses in my maps app that I'd really love to get rid of, but see no way to do it. Am I stuck going through this list of addresses every time I use maps? Is there seriously no way to delete them? I have an iPhone 6 running the latest operating system.
Thanks,
Darlee

On my 5s the following works: Open Maps, tap in the search/address field, tap "Favorites" then tap "Recents" at the bottom and Clear at the top.

Payment run is picking up the old bank details of the vendor

Hi Experts,
Following is the issue :
1. Vendor invoice entered through MIRO/FB60. This picks up the prevalent bank details from the vendor master.
2. Vendor bank details are changed subsequently and payment run made. The payment run picks up the old bank details ( from the invoice document if it saves any where for the posted document ) and not the current details as in the vendor master.
3. Payment is returned from the bank as previous bank details are not valid any longer.
4. I canceled/reversed the MIRO/FB60 document alongwith the payment document.
I re-enter the same invoice through MIRO/FB60. It picks up the current bank data from the vendor master(which are the new bank details and are correct).
5. Then I make the payment run but the payment still goes to the previous bank details (which were changed and are no longer valid) and not to the current details(which are on the invoice) and is again returned by the bank.
What is the reason and how to correct this issue. Your early reply will be really appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
BABA

Hi,
By default the payment will go to the bank that is listed first in the vendor master. If you do not need the old details, delete them completely from the master data and leave only the new ones. Alternatively use the Partner Bank field to assign the invoice to which Bank the payment is to be made.
Kind regards

Is there a way to use a bookmark from Maps as the home/work address of a contact?

I'm trying to use location-based reminders. But the Home and Work addresses I have in my own contact card are not recognized by Apple Maps.
Is there a way to use Apple Maps to set the Home and Work addresses in my contact card to something that it will be able to understand?
Edit: It doesn't have to be with Apple Maps. Google Maps or any other service where I can bookmark my "Current Location" would be fine. I just want an effieient way to use Location-based reminders when manually inputting an address is not an option, but locating it on a map is.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that current stage , you would need to add the tags manually.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Map R/3 contact person address to CRM contact person address

Hi,
Does anyone know how to enhance the middleware so that the business address of contact person in R/3 can be mapped/downloaded to the BP standard address (shown up in BP transaction) in CRM ? The business address of the contact person in R/3 is currently mapped to BP relationship address in CRM, while the home address of the contact person is mapped to the BP standard address.
Thank you for the help,

Location services reverts to old address

When I moved from Ontario to Florida it took Location Services a few days to locate my new address. One month later it has reverted to my old address. How can I correct this?

To follow up on Illaass' post, these are all the routers that my iPad and iPod can currently detect and I have no clue which one or ones it is using for location services. "Express" is the only router that that's providing an Internet connection.
Some of my neighbors turn their routers on and off as needed so a similar photo tomorrow would look different.
