Unable to activate location services since upgraded to iOS7
Just upgraded iPhone 4S to ios 7. Under privacy location services has switched off and switch to activate is pale and non functional. Have signed into iCloud. Any ideas?
If restrictions are turned on, & you don't know the restrictions passcode, the only way to remove it is to restore your phone. If you have a backup made prior to enabling restrictions, you can restore from that to remove it. Otherwise, you'll have to restore as a new device. The restrictions passcode is included in the iPhone backup.

I can't activate location services
After i upgraded my 3gs to ios 5, i can't activate location services. Can anyone help?
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. -
Can't activate location service
iPod touch 4G 64GB, location service was active by default.
A few days ago i deactivated location service and now i'm unable to activate it again. I have Wifi access, can browse and use maps. Although i've done the reset even maps didn't ask for activation of location service. The whole location service string is greyed out and can't be activated ?
Any idea ?
I know for sure it was active before and worked well.Ok, locations service was a victim of restrictions.
Reset restrictions and been able to activate location services. -
Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?
The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge. You've done good things. Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use. A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

Can't start xbmc.service since upgrade to xbmc 12.3-10
Hi,
I normally start xbmc via a service file and do not use a login manager, and have done successfully for some time now,
I can no longer start xbmc.service since upgrading to xbmc 12.3-10
The errors I receive in the journal are:
Feb 27 10:52:20 wolverine systemd[242]: pam_nologin(login:account): conversation failed
Feb 27 10:52:20 wolverine systemd[242]: Failed at step PAM spawning /usr/bin/xinit: Operation not permitted
Looking at the old and new xbmc.service files, the new xbmc.service now has an additional line specifying "PamName=login"
Not sure what I need to look at to fix this, any ideas are much appreciated.
I am temporarily using the old xbmc.service file from the xbmc 12.3-9 package to ensure xbmc starts.
Thanks in advance for any help.Thought I'd chime in here, as I'm having the same problem. I am using the default service file provided by the xbmc package. Commenting out PAMName=login in xbmc.service allows xbmc to start successfully on boot. If I start xbmc.service from a normal shell prompt, it will start fine even with PAMName set.

"Unable to Download Podcast" error after upgrade to iOS7 - iPhone 4S
Hey all,
Since upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4S, the Podcasts app is no longer able to download new Podcasts directly from the app. I keep getting the error "Unable to Download Podcast" with the option to Retry, which always fails. This happens on both 3G and WiFi This error applies to any of my Podcast subscriptions. It was working fine on iOS 6.1.3. I have tried deleting it and re-installing it. I've toggled the Podcast app Settings. I have an iPad 3 WiFi and I haven't had the issue.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks,
JohnHi neocec!
I have a couple of suggestions for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue. First, you should try to reset the iOS device by following these instructions:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If you are still experiencing issues after attempting that troubleshooting step, you will want to restore your iOS device according to these instructions:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing
Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify. It is as if airplay is not runing. A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Trying to take photos during Christmas Eve service and the whole thing just shuts down over and over. It's fully-charged, I keep minimal apps on it, and have followed all battery-saving techniques ever since upgrading to ios7. This is pretty important -- we have no other cameras in our home and now we have no way to take pictures Christmas Morning!!!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I can't save facebook photos to camera roll since upgrading to ios7
can't save facebook photos to camera roll since upgrading to ios7, please help? I press on photo, and menu comes up to save photo, but it is not in my camera roll. What's up?
when you tried to save did facebook ask you permission to access to the camera roll?
if not close and open facebook and try to save a picture and see if it pops with the question.
if it doesn't, goto settings>privacy>photos and see if facebook is added there,
if it's added and not enabled, enable it.
if everything mentioned above fails, do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide the switch off and try again to save it -
Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play. That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app. It should work just fine, it does work ok for me on iphone 5. The original question was to play music videos in the music app. Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not. I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found. There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before.
The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play. There is simply no way to categorize or group videos. The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple. It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos. And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist. Actually it is getting worse. Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area.
Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.

I can no longer use my ipad to show Netflix on my TV since upgrading to ios7. I don't have Apple TV or airplay icon showing. What can I do to correct this problem?
This issue is with Netflix upgrade. I spoke to Netflix and here is the solution. Remove Netflix app from Ipad and reload the app version 5.0.1. This updated version will correct the problem.

Why can I no longer use my headphones remote to fast forward or rewind music videos on iPhone since upgrading to ios7?
The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6 (I think because the licensing agreement with google ended). You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or (if this isn't the version that you have tried) try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
