What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working?

What does it mean if my location services are turned on, but not working?  It has always worked before.  It is turned on in Settings but when I try to use an app that requires location services, it says they are not on, and the little arrow is not appearing at the top of the screen.

thank you...I tried this immediately after noticing but to no avail. I thought the phone died but I kept seeing the light on so I googled some things and it says it may be watered damaged and I'm not sure how.

  • What does it mean when the message says " Firefox is running but not responding, in order to use Firfox, close open progams or restart your computer

    I can not find Mozilla or Firefox on the taskbar as open programs so I can not close it? . I end up re starting mu computer .?? What am i doing wrong?
    thanks for your help

    It is often possible to find and kill processes even if not on a taskbar. You will be looking for firefox.exe . I use Windows XP pro and could use the Taskkill command or TaskManager, other OS will have similar facilities .

  • 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

  • What does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

    what does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

    It means that you get only one download of the movie per purchase, so once it's downloaded, you'd be wise to make a backup. Otherwise, if something happens to delete the movie, you'll have to buy it again.

  • When Location Services are turned off, does Find My iPhone still count as turned on?

    Let's say I use iCloud, so I turned on Find My iPhone.
    But, I like to save battery, so I turn Location Services off while Find My iPhone is enabled, and I understand completely that if Lost Mode is enabled, then Location Services are turned on and enable Find My iPhone.
    Scenario:
    I go traveling. I lose my phone. It gets stolen. Location Services were turned off (I like to save battery). If the thief were to try to restore the phone, would he/she get a message saying "Find My iPhone is enabled. Please turn it off before restoring this iPhone."? OR, since Location Services are off, would the restore go on ahead without any confirmation?
    This scenario is assuming I don't activate Lost Mode before the thief can plug the device into his/her computer and attempt a restore.
    So when Location Services with Find My iPhone enabled are turned OFF, would Find My iPhone still be considered ON and therefore, give a confirmation message before any restoration?
    I just want to verify that I'm still secure even when I turn off Location Services to save battery.
    Thanks for reading!

  • TS4006 "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad can't even locate the iPad I'm using. And I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    I'm using the "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad and it can't even locate the iPad I'm using, not to mention the iPhone I'm looking for. They are both listed as devises, it just says they're both offline, which I know is wrong. I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

    Is Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find My iPad turned ON?

  • I lost my ipod touch and it is connected to the internet but the location services are turned off anyway i could turn them on??

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody here knows how to turn on location services without the ipod in your hand it is connected through find my iphone and it says its online but location services are turned off if anybody here knows or think they know it would be greatly appreciated

    No.
    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help

  • What does it mean when the screen flickers and flashes after 20min. of working fine? I have a Macbook Pro 17" screen and it's the late 2008 model

    I am having trouble with a Mac book Pro 17 inch late 2008 Notebook.
    When I turn it on and booted up it goes to desktop and everything is fine for about 20 minutes then after 20 minutes the screening starts rapidly flashing and flickering and everything on the screen locks up including the mouse becomes frozen.
    What does it mean when this happens? Is it an issue with the monitor screen or is it some other internal hardware issue?

  • What does it mean when the message states that "This accessory is not optimized for this Iphone"?

    Since Aug. 20th I have been receiving a message that states " This accessory is not optimized on this iphone", what does that mean, and how do I get id of it?

    If you don't have it plugged into something it means there is 'crud' in the dock connector causing a short and making it think there is something strange plugged in. Clean out the dock connector with a dry toothbrush.

  • My Location Service is turned on, but I still can get the "Find my iPhone" to work

    I can find my iMac and my Mac Book Pro, but my computers can't find my iPhone.  It keeps telling me my iPhone is Offline when it's not.  It tells me to turn on my "Location Services".  It was always turned on. I followed an online suggestion to turn off "Location Services" and then turn it back on.  I did that.  It still didn't work.  I even turned the phone off and waited about 10 minutes and then turned it back on and I still can't get it to locate my iPhone.  I really need this as I am always misplacing my phone and leaving it somewhere.  ;-)  Thanks.

    Again, nothing posted by PCMACK is correct.
    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.

  • What does this mean? "Please locate: 0.2s_Exciting Vocals.SDIR"

    Every time I try to load an older project I used with a particular template, I get the message: "Please locate: 0.2s_Exciting Vocals.SDIR"
    As far as I can tell, this was a particular setting I had in Space Designer (which was on a Bus).
    I've tried locating this using spotlight, but have had no such luck.
    Is this an OLD impulse response from Logic 7 that Logic 8 no longer has, or am I missing something? Can someone else look and see if they have this particular SDIR in Space Designer?
    Thank you very much!

    Yes, it's in the LP7 legacy content:
    You can find this on your Logic Studio installer disk.
    Logic Content/Logic Install/LogicLegacyContent/Library/Audio/Impulse Responses/Apple/05 Legacy Spaces/01 Vocal Reverbs/
    So re-run your LS installer, select a custom install, and just install the LP7 Legacy Content - or just use Pacifist to install the LP7 Legacy impulses to your system.

  • What does it mean if my macbook won't start up but it just beeps

    My macbook had froze and I took the battery out to restart it.  When I pressed the power button the screen stayed black and all my computer did was beep.  Please someone help me. What is going on???

    Take it to the Apple store.  Your Mac is an Apple product and Apple will always look at it as long as it is still supported (meaning parts are still readily manfactured for it).  Make an appointment with the genius bar: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/.  Never take your mac to Best Buy for service.

  • HT201210 what does it mean when i get a message "my ipod could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"

    iPod version shown in iTunes as "4.3.4"  (not listed in the OS drop-down associated with setting up this post.  Appeared to download the update OK but as soon as it went to install it came up with "The iPod "xxxxx" could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible"  Why and what do I do now?  I'm pretty sure it was trying to install 5.1.1

    - Are you updating clicking on the update button in iTunes?
    Try a reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Try deleting file and try again. It is located:

  • What does this mean? iPhoto[207] have info and image but no ref

    Bought a MacBook about 8 weeks ago. Had to reload it from scratch yesterday (Mac OS DVD's) after numerous issues surface (files disappearing, random crashes, etc.) Disk Repair/fsck didn't work.
    Today I imported a bunch of pictures from a CD, went to edit some and post with IWeb, and got the error message above in my console file. I deleted all the pix and just reloaded them. (10.4.8 was not a positive experience for me.)
    Love the Mac, but this is getting to be real work at this point.
    I was a former Unix System Admin and spent 21 years in IT with AT&T, IBM, etc. Currently running 6.0.4. Fearing that my hard drive is having issues.
    Comments welcome. Thanks in Advance. Error detail...

    You mention the errors in Console. But what happened, visually, in iPhoto? Did it not send the photos? Not import the photos from the CD?
    It's getting to sound like permissions restrictions are preventing iPhoto from doing what it normally does to photos - create thumbnails, export the EXIF information to its database. The last line seems to indicate that it couldn't find the link between the displayed thumbnail and the actual photo file.
    Do you allow iPhoto to import into its iPhoto Library folder? (default) or do you have Copy to iPhoto Library turned off in Advanced prefs?
    How did you import into iPhoto, specifically?
    iPhoto makes a lot of assumptions and is finicky about some things expecially structure. It doesn't like things being done behind its back, i.e. though the Finder or through Terminal or anything else. Usually with that last Console comment, it's a strong indicator something changed.
