No Way To Fix GPS

Hi, I just bought my iPhone 3G and I have problems with GPS locating. iPhone can't find my current position and still shows me position somewhere in Santa Monica in USA. I'm from Europe, Slovakia which is on the other side of the world. I can't fix this. I tried to turn off 3G, reset settings and even restore he phone but nothing helped. Actually, I tried all available advices on the nat and there is still this Santa Monica. Hehe, Why Santa Monica? I don't get it.
Any ideas folks? Thanx

da.master,
Go outside with the iPhone where you have as much unobstructed view of the sky as possible, preferably at least 300m from where you have been trying.
Open maps, tell it to search for your location. Do not let the iPhone autolock or go to sleep for at least 15-30 minutes.
It should eventually find your location, and future attempts to find your location.
If it jumps back to Santa Monica when you go home, it may indicate that one of the WiFi networks in your area is incorrectly mapped as being in Santa Monica.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • When I put in my earphones to listen to music the sound isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in it in order for it to be. It's not the earphones because I use them in my laptop and they work fine. Is there a way to fix this problem?

    Whenever I put my earphones into my iPod Touch 2g the music isn't clear and I have to push and hold them in order to hear the song normally. It isn't the earphones because I tried another pair, that worked fine, and there was still no difference. I also use the same pair of earphones in my laptop and it sounds great. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to buy a brand new iPod touch? Do I need to clean it or something? And if so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    If still problem that indicates you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Likely not worth it for your old 2G iPod

  • Is there a way to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value

    Is there a way to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value in a flash pie Chart?
    I need a pie chart for Distribution of Escalations by Status; here I have following status Record in my table
    5 record for Status: Reopen
    2 record for Status: Escalated
    2015 record for Status: Closed
    12 record for Status: Open
    1000 record for Status: WIP
    So I am not able to see data in pie chart for Status Reopen, Escalated, and Open, bcz all levels are overlapping each other
    So I want to fix particular percent of slice area to each level value(Reopen, Escalated, Closed , WIP and Open)
    For e.g. I want to show 15% slice area of chart for Escalated, 10% for Reopen, 20% for Open
    25% for WIP and 30% for Closed. So i can see record for all status while that have less data as compare to other
    status.
    I am using following query for pie Chart….
    SELECT
    ''javascript:dhtml_GetReport_r2(0,0,0,0,0,''''''||''''||STATUS||''''||'''''',0)'' link,
    nvl(STATUS,''Unknown'') label,
    COUNT(ISSUE_ID) Escalations
    FROM XYZ_ITR_MAIN
    WHERE 1=1 GROUP BY STATUS;
    Thanks

    Your requirement makes sense from the point of visibility but doesn't make sense having the facts in mind that 2 out of 3034 is always 0,000659195% no matter how you look at it. And a pie chart is always going to give you exactly that. The only thing you can do is to manipulate your data but then what a user will see is not going to match with the reality. So, the only solution I see is to make a bigger chart. Exploding a pie chart is also an alternative but I don't think you can do that currently with the flash charts.

  • When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly.  Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

    I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone.  After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC.  It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
    Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library. 
    Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
    Thanks!!

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • Apple is asking me to answer my security questions but I can't remember the answers. Also I would reset them but my rescue email is no longer in use and I cannot even remember what it was. Is there any way to fix this mess?

    So basically I need to confirm my identity but I  can't because I can't remember the answers to my security questions. I scheduled a meeting with Apple, to see if they can fix it. Nod I would just reset them from my rescue email, but I don't know what that email is and it's also no longer in use.
    Do you know of any way to fix this?

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • There is a delay when I hit the spacebar, and it only happens in Firefox. Is there a way to fix this?

    When I type anything in Firefox like an e-mail, spaces do not register immediately when I hit the spacebar, and it slows down my typing tremendously. I just installed Firefox today, and I had never had this problem before. I tested it in both my word processing program and in Internet Explorer, and there was no delay in either program, so I know it has to be a glitch with the FF program. Is there a way to fix this?
    Also, sometimes when I would tap the mousepad to click a link, the screen would just scroll/jump to the bottom of that page instead of going to the next page. It did this on every attempt to click the link (I was reading a message in e-mail and was trying to go to my inbox, but it wouldn't let me).

    Okay, I found the solution. I simply restarted my computer, and the problem has gone away...so far.

  • Is there ANY way to fix lousy volume on iTunes songs?

    I've tried everything, it seems. Various songs purchased from the iTunes store (and some transferred from CDs) have seriously weak volume -- not just in "quiet" passages but often the entire song. Yes, I've tried boosting the volume in the iTunes "Get Info" menu, but the effect is insufficient. Raising the volume enough to play in a car can produce awful distortion and won't compensate for those quiet passages in classical music, soundtracks, or pop songs from the 1930s-1950s. That can be fixed only with a sound processing application.
    I have tried the third party software recommended elsewhere in these forums, and none of them work on Apple's "Protected" music. I did have success with Sound Studio 2.2.1 about two years ago. But I had to replace it with version 3, and it just doesn't seem to work. It won't open iTunes music unless it's first transferred to a CD. And then I haven't been able to load the edited songs back into the iTunes Library. iTunes either fails to find the edited music or it substitutes the original unedited version.
    Within the Sound Studio application, the music sounds beautiful after applying the Normalize and Compression filters. But I cannot get iTunes to accept those versions even after saving them under different names.
    To date, I have spent considerable dollars and hours trying to fix about two dozen 99-cent songs, without success. I don't want an iTunes refund on my 99-cent songs; I just want to be able to listen to them in my car.
    I suppose copyright concerns may be at the root of this problem, but who else except a buyer is going to fix these old songs to make them worth even 99 cents?
    I'm a big fan of iTunes. It has made it possible to restore a music collection that previously wasn't available to me, and most of it sounds great. But I wish I could find a way to fix that handful of old favorites. Does anyone have a solution to this?

    I'm happy to report that Sound Studio has corrected its part of the problem, and an updated version is available on its web site: freeverse.com/soundstudio/
    I also discovered that attempts to adjust individual song volumes in the Get Info menu won't work if the Sound Check option is selected in Preferences (duh!).
    Further good news is Apple's announcement of an arrangement to offer unprotected versions of BMI music in the iTunes store for an extra 30 cents per song. It would be well worth it, in my opinion, if all the music companies agreed to the arrangement, thereby streamlining the task of transferring problem songs to editing programs like Sound Studio.
    One minor glitch remains. To differentiate between original and edited versions of a song, I usually append a number to the name. But when I import the edited version back into the iTunes library, iTunes automatically changes the name back to the original. I can tell the difference by referring to other clues in the library file, but not in the abbreviated iPod menu. I could delete the unedited version from the library or, better, create playlistys consisting of only the edited versions.
    Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion. I hope others benefit from it as I did.
    P.S.: I did download Max, which works fine for its intended purposes.

    If the MBA is within 14 days of the purchase date from an Apple sore, you may return it for a refund or an exchange.
    Regarding the specific problem you are facing, can you provide more details, such as the application that you were using and exactly what the response was.
