Updated to 4.2.1, and now the location feature doesn't work...

Had an iPod 2nd Gen for a good few years now, and never had a problem.
I updated the software to 4.2.1 the other day, and since then the iPod is unable to track my location.
I use it through Wi-Fi, and before the update, it worked fine. Now when i access Google Earth, Maps, Social networking sites etc none of them can identify my location and a message pops up saying "Could not determine location".
I have all the location functions activated, so i dont understand why the update seems to have affected this function...
Anyone help? Its driving me crazy!

- Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Resetting network settings:
Settings>General>Reset Network Settings
Other users have experienced the same problem. It seems to be related to Apple changing the database they use for determining location by wifi. Apple used to use a service called Skyhook but now they use their own database of wifi routers with their location. It appears that you router is not in Apple's database. As of yet nobody has found a way to update Apple's database.

  • Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

    I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work.   It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad. Same thing happens in the control panel when I switch functions and try to mute the sound there.  It used to toggle between Volume on and off.  Anyone know how to fix this?

  • My iPhone4 got wet. And now the home button doesn't work.

    Today it was raining and my iPhone4,which was in my pocket, got wet. And now the home button doesn't work. What should i do to fix it?

    I would place the iPhone in a big bowl of white rice, rather than in a baggie.  That's what my brother did with his iPod touch that got wet, and it fixed it.  The iPod touch works perfectly fine now, and the bowl is better because while the rice soaks up any wetness or condensation, the openness of the bowl gives way for evaporation.
    A good idea would also be to take out your SIM card, if at all possible.  Put it back in when you're ready.

  • I need help with my ipod touch 4, i hit it on my table and now the touch screen doesn't work at all

    i got mad and hit my ipod agaisnt the table and now the touch part of the screen doesn't work i need help, i don't want to send it to Apple because i have music that i downloaded for free and i'm worried all my songs, pics, videos will go away if i send it to them.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Maybe just a loose connection they can fix.

  • HP updated my BIOS and now the sound system doesn't work on Dv76012Tx.

    HP Care / Support Assistant requested to update my BIOS, which I did.  Computer restarted a couple of times then I found my sound system doesn't work.  My computer is Dv7-6012Tx and it is just a week old.  I now get no sound, and it had been working beautifully.
    Please reset my BIOS back to how it was.

    Had the same problem as of about 30 minutes ago.  New BIOS update, sound doesn't work.  Drivers all read as up-to-date.  What the hell?

  • I updated iTunes and iPad software and now the iPod function doesn't work--it just displays a large musical note with no controls or songs.

    Why does the iPod on my iPad not work after I updated the iTunes and iPad software? All I see when I touch iPod is a large musical note, no controls or songs.

    happened to me the first time i used the i pod app after the i tunes update.  simply back all the way out - (double hit the home button - the ipod app is one of those things that seems to continue to live in the multitaking bar).  When you restart the i pod app, it should dome back fine.  I do not think (but maybe I did) that I needed to do a full shut down - just fully close and reopen.

  • Reformatted my T40, and now the DVD reader doesn't work.

    I have recently reformatted my T40, had some problems with viruses, but it is alright now.
    Only then, do I realize that my DVD reader does not read. I tried a regular CD and it worked, not the DVD though.
    There was nothing wrong with the DVD player, prior to reformatting. So, could it be something I did when reformatting?
    Please help. Thank you. 

    If you re-loaded the software from the IBM recovery CDs, you should have the decoder (DVD player) software installed.  If you used a microsoft OS CD, it doesn't come with the player.

  • I've updated to Firefox 7.01, and now Flash Player 11 doesn't work, even though everything says that it's been successfully installed on Firefox. What to do?

    I've downloaded Flash Player 11.0.1.152 for non-IE browsers from the Adobe Download Center, installed it all fine, says it's successfully installed even on this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    But it still tells me to download it when I try to play YouTube videos, BBC iPlayer, etc. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, though that shouldn't be a problem since the installer says that it includes both 64-bit and 32-bit versions (which should suit the 32-bit Firefox 7.01 just fine).

    Problem fixed. Had to uninstall Flash from the control panel and then reinstall.

  • Why does the 2520 Nokia Lumia have so many issues? I've had pairing issues, freezing issues, and now the touch screen doesn't work! I'm SO glad i spent $700 on a piece of CRAP! And Verizon will do nothing to help or make me happy. When my 2 years are up G

    GregLallo,
    I would be upset if my phone was having multiple issues but would not want to lose you over this experience. Nokia Lumia are typically good phones and it saddens me to see you are having so many issues with the phone.  How often are you having the issues with the device not responding? What activities are occurring on the phone when it stops responding? Have you always had pairing issues? What are you pairing your phone to?

  • Spilled some tea on my laptop and now the backspace key doesn't work!

    Hi All,
    So I spilled some tea on my macbook today. All over the ekeyboard. Thankfully everything is working perfectly fine except my BACKSPACE/DELETE key, which I hve come to realize is super important even just writing this message! Does anyone know how I can fix this? Is my computer forever going to be without a functioning backspace key? What can I do? Do you think the apple store can fix it??? HELP ME PLEASE THIS IS SO ANNOYING!

    You may be able to 'remap' keys on the MacBook's keyboard, so as to assign a new purpose to one of the keys you'd otherwise not use much anyway; such as the small "Enter" key in the bottom row of the portable; a remap of this should not affect the larger Enter key, so you can re-purpose of the small one so it performs a Delete.
    The 'arrow' keys allow a left-direction cursor movement without an erase; sometimes, the FN key can be used to control alternative functions; not sure how complex the commands or assigned functions can be & still work.
    There had been a few free remapping apps and guidelines to help Mac owners adjust their built-in keyboard for use with Windows under BootCamp, Parallels, for dual-booting in non-Mac OS X; or other virtualization schemes to use the main keyboard for custom functions. Some of these can be assigned to work in one OS.
    The idea of trying a known-good external USB keyboard, to test the computer's hardware beyond the issues you've found troublesome after the built-in keyboard was exposed to liquid, would be best to test the chassis and logic circuits for damages beyond the keyboard assembly.
    The built-in keyboard issues where a single key does not function after an immersion or liquid spill event, are unlikely to be cured by simple replacement of a single key-face; and the individual key-switches are not seperate components to be changed out. The keyboard and touchpad can be removed and replaced by a skilled and trained technician. The rest of the MacBook should be inspected and tested for damage, too.
    Depending on your exact build model version of MacBook, the keyboard, touchpad, and upper half of the lower case assembly has different parts and construction processes; so some of the online suggestions and YouTube videos posted there by other users may viewed with this in mind. Several upgrades occurred under the skin of these computers; so do the details on how to access or repair/replace internal components.
    The iFixit online instruction pages may have some information on how to replace the built-in keyboard; if your model build version of MacBook is one of those not too extreme for a non-expert to attempt a repair. The warning as intricate details go, usually implies you could do damages inside the computer in addition to the main symptom and issue(s) you initially seek to resolve. Be ware! {Like on old world maps: of dragons, etc.}
    You could look through search results to compare videos posted by well-intentioned users, to see which ones may appear to be more like the exact model MacBook you have. A more positive identification of your portable would be required to get correct parts and perform detailed procedures properly. These generally do not have general parts; details inside the MacBook line changed many times over the years its been made.
    Several leads appear in a search based on these words in a google browser:
    replace macbook keyboard
    Some sticky keys and individual keyface replacements are noted; however if the liquid damaged more than the keyboard you'd have to troubleshoot the computer to know for sure. One way to tell, is to attach an external USB keyboard and see if the actual functions themselves are still working. Liquid can also cause corrosion later on, so a temporary fix may involve a superficial symptom. Other issues may follow later on.

    • iFixit Guides -- for macbook:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Browse/MacBook
    The key itself may have some gunk within the parts, layers are as noted in the first youtube video linked above; but the liquid may have gone on to find places to cause further grief at a later time. Or the symptom you note may imply damage beyond the keyboard already has taken place.
    You may have to make an advance appointment to see some genius or product expert, and plan a time to take the unit in. Or contact some place who can do the work, and who are authorized experts, to have them inspect the computer and give you an estimate of the damages and a proper cure. Sorry that I don't have a simple answer; and have already been interrupted here while trying to put together some kind of a reply. Like getting my mind wiped clear more than twice, when someone comes along & starts talking nonsense, while I'm already busy (doing three things) and one more is an overload.
    Hopefully this helps somewhat...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I dropped my Ipod and now the click wheel is not working anymore

    Hey! I hope you can help me! I dropped my Ipod today, and now the Click wheel doesn't work anymore! The IPod broke open, but I put it together again! When I came home I connected it with the computer to see if "its" alive. And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control! When it dropped there was "Hold" and now I can't deactivate "Hold". So I think, maybe the click wheel doesn't work because "Hold" was activated the moment the ipod dropped! BUt I don't know! Maybe something inside the ipod a soldering joint got torn apart, or something, I don't know! I just know the click wheel doesn't work, anything else seems to be okay! Can anyone help me???

    hey and whops about dropping your ipod...
    heres what i think but im not an ipod know it all so what i say might not help but any way...
    And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control!
    well this sound okay so it probly isnt anything to do with the hard drive if it is updating ect...
    I think it would have to do with the fact that the hold lock was on... have you tried jigling the hold switch back and forward a bit? that often helps...other wise i think you should take it to an apple store and see what they can do.
    Hope it fixes

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.
