Why does my google keep asking if can use my current location  every time i use it, even if i say yes every time?

N.B. This is also happening on my iphone 4.

OK -Here's what worked for me.
For iPhone:
On your iPhone or iPod, in your preferred browser, go to www.google.com, and sign in to your account (if you aren't already logged in).
Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and select "Settings"
Under "Precise Location", select "Do not allow"
Scroll to bottom, and "Save"
For iPad:
On your iPad, in your preferred browser, go to www.google.com, and sign in to your account (if you aren't already logged in).
Click the "Settings" cog in the upper right corner, and choose "Search settings"
Select "Location" from the left sidebar
Under "Precise Location", select "No. Do not use..."
Select "Save" to save your preference.
When you do search for a specific location in google, it will use your general location, but there will be an option above it to "Use Specific Location" during that search, specifically. No need to leave it on all of the time!
This will eliminate the popups - at least it did for me! I have Private Browsing enabled, and no issues so far. Next time you log in to your settings, it will default back to allowing precise location, so keep an eye on that!

    Why does my computer keep asking to be authorized when i put my iphone on the charger?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
    See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • HT5868 why does my iphone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer?

    Why does my iPhone KEEP asking if I trust this computer? I thought it was a onetime thing per computer? I plug my iPhone 4s into the computer and every time I tell it to trust this computer, but a hour later if I plug in again, I have to say trust again... bug? Setting issue? Help?

    http://helpios7.com/trust-this-computer-pop-up-fix/
    This helped me. Fix #1 is something Apple doesn't ever suggest to you.
    My specific problem was somehow my Apple Mobile Device USB Driver got turned off and moved and maybe even uninstalled, but after hours of struggling, this site helped tremendously.
    Furthermore, I could connect my iPhone to my computer but not into iTunes. It would only let me go to access pictures on my iPhone and that's all.
    Best of luck to anyone trying to figure out their problem.

    why does mac os keep asking for keychain password

    I'm getting this same problem. It seems random when it asks for the password, maybe every 3 or 4 days it'll ask when I plug it in at night. I've tried restoring from an older backup, which has not resolved the issue.

  • What is Listener.bundle?  Why does my Mac keep asking to load it?

    What is listener.bundle?  Why does my Mac keep asking to load it?

    Hi, Sk8erStan. I don't exactly know how/what your (or my) listener.bundle works/does, but for me, this became an issue when I downloaded the network scanning software "driver" for my Lexmark printer. Apparently this lets the Mac receive a request over wi-fi from the networked printer to set up, receive, and save a scan datafile. Essentially it lets the printer control the Mac. Which is OK and worked fine in my case .. EXCEPT every 5 or 10 minutes I get a pop-up alert asking me if I want to DENY or ALLOW my "listener bundle" app .. from listening. Really irritating and I have not yet figured out how to turn that off. If you have solved your problem, please post your solution and what you learned. Thanks.

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    i tried to log in using my sister's iphone with foursquare and my account was able to check in. so it's all in my ipod's?
    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.

  • I can't understand apple teminology - what is the difference between a keychain and a password - why does my mac keep asking me to type in the keychain - I don't know what it is or when it was created!!!

    I can;t understand the apple terminology - what is a keychain and how is it different to password?  When I set a new password it keeps asking me for the login keychain.  None of my passwords work for it and I don't know when it would have been created.

    A "keychain" is a secure database in which passwords are stored in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized discovery of your passwords. Think of it like a bank safe deposit box in which you can safely store your passwords.
    If you have a problem with your keychain then perhaps you have not changed the passwords correctly or need to repair your keychain. You might try:
    Assuming that you are using a recent build of OS X, go to /Applications/Utilities and launch the app called Keychain Access. Go to the Window pulldown menu and select "Keychain First Aid". Enter your password, set the radio button to "Repair", and click "Start".

  • Why does my iPad keep asking me to allow cookies when it already does?

    Since the weekend my iPad keeps asking for my id and password. When I enter it, it keeps saying I have to allow cookies before I can update anything or use iCloud, the cookies are enabled but it still won't work.
    Please can anyone help?
    Frustrating.

    Hey there Stirrups,
    It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iCloud account successfully due to this message that you need to accept cookies but you have that set correctly in Settings. I recommend starting by signing out of your iCloud account in Settings > iCloud. Then closing all the running apps on your iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • Why does app store keep asking for sercurity code

    Why does the app store keep saying invalid sercurity code when I keep putting in the right code?

    Hello!
    It might sound strange at first, but it might be related to your cookie settings in Safari. To see if this is true, open Safari and proceed to the Safari prefences by clicking on the Safari menu - to the right of the classic apple-menu -  and choosing Preferences.
    Click the Privacy tab.
    Make sure your cookie-preferences are NOT set to "never" or "block always"
    Set to your preferred cookie option, restart your computer once, and see if your issue has been resolved.

  • Why does my iPhone keep asking for my OLD Apple ID?

    I need my old Apple ID to turn off the "Find MY Phone" option. I have already changed my apple ID, BUT my iPhone 5 keeps asking for the password of my OLD account. When I introduce my old password it says "Your Apple ID or password is incorrect." but the problem is that the password nor the email is not incorrect. This also happens when I try to update Apps; I can't get the latest updates because it wont take my old apple ID but it also doesnt change to the new one. PLEASE HELP, I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

    have you tried to go into settings->itunes & app stores
    and click on the old appleID and click logout ?
