No "Location Services" after applying iOS 4

Hi,
after updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4 I can't turn on Location Services anymore.
Am I the only one with this issue? Are there any solutions?
TJ
Ah, I found the reason - Location Services has been turned off in the Restriction Options. Weird ...

I had the same issue with one of the three iPhones I updated on Wednesday.  There are many processes that are working for people including:
- Resetting the device several times
- Toggling the "Dont' Allow Changes" setting under "Restrictions --> Location Services"
- Disabling Restrictions altogether.
- Restoring from backup
I was able to restore location services by selecting "Reset" and choosing "Erase All Content and Settings" to set the phone up as new.  When the phone resets and goes through the setup process, I was given the option to turn on location services.  I then restored from backup and was good to go.
Some people have been able to resolve the issue by resetting but only using "Reset All Settings" without having to erase all content, but that did not work for me.  It took a while to get everything back to normal, but it is good to know that there was a somewhat simple solution.

  • HT4972 Why can't I turn on location service after updating to ISO 6.0

    Why can't I enable location service after upgrading to ISO 6.0

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What does the Traffic Setting under Location Services do in iOS 5?

    What does the Traffic Setting under Location Services do in iOS 5?
    Do I loose anything valuable by turning that function off on my 4S?

    No mention of it in the User Manual and Mpas still shows the traffic fine with it switched off.
    Even my TomTom can update Traffic with the setting switched off.
    It's a mystery

  • How do i enable locations services, after originally not allowing?

    how do i enable locations services, after originally not allowing?

    You have to go enable it under RESTRICTIONS first if you chose against it to begin with.... then you can alter it in the other places... So go to restrictions first, enable it, then you can go to the other places... like the icloud menu > share my location > enable it to share where you are.... or Privacy > Location Services > On.
    I think a big problem is you might have it on in one place and then not others and there are different menus for different places instead of just ONE place to enable any and all location settings.  That is what Apple does badly, they have too many settings split up between different menus.... its confusing.

  • IPhone 5: Can't turn on location services after ios 7 upgrade.

    When I upgraded to the current ios, location services got turned off.  Now there is a password there, and I'd never had one before.  I've been trying unsuccessfully for 3 weeks with every number combination that I can think of  to get into my restrictions tab and turn on location services. 
    Any Suggestions?.

    Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • I am unable to turn on location services after the iOS7 update on my iPhone 5

    Relatively self explanatory. When I go into Privacy settings I am unable to turn Location Servies on. The option appears, but I cannot slide the switch to 'on'. This has only happened after the ios7 update.

    Hi dombew,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Also, check to make sure Location Services has not be restricted:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213?viewlocale=en_US
    You can prevent changes to privacy settings, including:
    Location Services

  • Website not asking permission for using location services in Safari iOS 6

    Website is not asking permission for using location services when using Safari mobile  on iOS 6.0 (iPhone 4s)
    Steps to replicate:
    1. Go to http://maps.google.com using Safari
    2. Choose "allow" to use location services
    3. Close Safari and wait 1-2 minutes such that the arrow sign (in the top right) disappears
    4. Go to http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 using Safari
    5. The arrow sign (in the top right) appears showing that the location services are used when viewing http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 (even few hours later)
    Why the site http://www.nature.com/news/economics-and-genetics-meet-in-uneasy-union-1.11565 is not asking permission to use location services?
    The Nature journal (site: ww.nature.com) is not affiliated with Google in any way as far as I know!

    I figured out how to stop this from happening. I did 3 things, and I'm not exactly sure which one of them did it because I did them all at the same time.
    1. Turned on Private Browsing
    2. Cleared Cookies and Data
    3. Turned off JavaScript
    This stopped time.com from using my location without permission.
    I then turned off Private Browsing and went back to the same page, and it continued to NOT use my location.
    I'm thinking JavaScript being turned off might be the solution. However, there is a bug that causes JavaScript to turn on again without permission at times:
    http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/12/21/ios-6-bug-reenables-javascript-in-safa ri-without-user-consent
    So just be aware of that. But hopefully doing the above works for you!

  • Kismac stays in location services after removal

    I tried kisMAC under Lion, but it is not ready for 10.7(1) yet. After removal of the app (using AppCleaner) it sticks in the System Preferences - Security & Privicy - Privacy - Location Services app list. Is there anybody who knows how to remove it from this list? Thanks very much!
    Rj.

    Just found a solution here :
    http://superuser.com/questions/429344/remove-application-from-location-services- in-security-privacy-on-mac-os-x-10-7
    Basically :
    1) Open Terminal
    2) Enter super user : sudo su
    3) cd /var/folders/zz/
    4) ls -l and find folder owned by _locationd
    5) cd <this_folder>
    6) cd C
    7) nano clients.plist
    8) Remove the entries you want to remove from location services list. KisMac should be in this list. Remove both the <key>...</key> and <dict>..</dict> parts each time
    9) killall locationd
    Open System Preferences, should now be gone

  • Celullar Data Lost or "No Service" after Upgrade iOS 8.1

    Hello all member,
    I've been using iPad4 for about 8 months.
    This problem happened after I upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, after I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 my phone signal started "no service".
    FirstIy, I think there is a problem with my sim card, and then I've replaced with some other sim card. But the problem still not solved.
    Second opinion, i tried to Reset >> Network Setting. But the problem still there.
    Last option, i tried to Full Reset but still find my celullar is "No Service"
    For about 3 weeks, I get notification for iOS 8.1 and I upgraded it last night.
    But the problem still exist, my cellular data connection still "No Service".
    Is there anyone here who can help me?
    Thanks for all advice.

    I upgraded ipad mini 2 with LTE from 7.1.2 straight to 8.1.2 hoping all the bugs are ironed out by now.... nope!
    Got the free 200MB/mo Tmobile sim and 4G works.  LTE network connection seems fine.  I get an LTE next to Tmobile on the status bar.  But I get a message saying "Could not activate cellular data network.  You are not subscribed to a cellular data service." as soon as I try to use a browser.
    With AT&T sim,  4G works just like Tmobile, but as soon as I switch on LTE, there is no network connection at all with "No Service" on the status bar and falls back to 4G after a while.  So seems like something broke LTE even on 8.1.2.
