Why does my location services not work properly?
Over a week ago, my location services stopped working. I can't view local weather on the default weather app, the default map can't find my location, and none of the other apps I have that look for location can view my location. I tried turning location services off and back on but it won't fix the problem. How can I fix this while waiting for the computer to be repaired?
Haven't checked at home, but if this is the problem, then how come it still won't work at places like Starbucks or other wifi hotspots? I'm at Starbucks right now, logged on and checked my email so I saw your reply, remembered that the router disconnected me at home last week and then I was able to get back on. So, I thought maybe that's the problem - what you said - so I tested my location on the map and it STILL won't work! I'm so irritated about it, since I rely on that app to help me determine the distance and time to walk to locations from my current location.
I was able to "solve" the weather app by just adding my city instead of using the local weather. I'm hoping I can try restoring my iPod later this week if the laptop gets fixed by then. I HATE restoring, though. I could do it using iCloud but most of my music is off CD's and I haven't paid the $25 to upload all of that so I'd temporarily lose those songs.

Why are my location services not working?
I received a new iPod touch yesterday, and it is now running iOS 5. I can't get the location services to work from my home. On my old 2nd generation touch, they work perfectly. I've check all of my settings regarding the location services and everything is 'on'.
Jim, Barry,
This for the replies. For what it is worth, I am confident all settings are OK, at least all the obvious ones. I just cannot see what is missing. In terms of what is not working, all Apps having a location option / button (Maps, Google Earth, etc) do not provide location. For example, Maps will reply by showing a "Cannot determine location" message. The same applies to the two iPads in the house and to whatever iPads enters on my Wi-Fi.

Why does Google Toolbar not work with the newer versions of Firefox.
Google have stopped supporting Google Toolbar on the latest versions of Firefox. Apparently one of the reasons for this decision is that modern browsers already tend to support many of the functions that google toolbar provides.
Firefox does allow you to specifically bookmark sites you have chosen, and also automatically remembers many of the sites you visit.

Why does my mac keyboard not work properly and is to do with the extra RAM?
Like someone else who has posted on this forum I have a problem with my Apple Pro Keyboard (usb, white, english) The keyboard has developed a fault which has resulted in the tab, caps lock and some other keys near them refusing to work. The caps lock light illuminates at startup but thats about it.
I've run various checks, reset my logic board, unplugged all the cables I can and still nothing. I recently installed two 512mb memory things boosting the machine's memory to 1.5gb. I have since done a full zero install (which was after the fault occured) but the problem persisted.
Is the memory the cause of this issue or is it time to get a new keyboard? I tried to run the apple hardware cd that came with the machine but it refuses to show up on the desktop and I cannot boot from it.
Any help would be very VERY much appreciated.
Also...is there any way of contacting apple with this? The contact us section pretty much just points back to the support site which doesnt have a solution.nope that doesnt seem to be it. The caps lock light comes on at startup..so it seems it has the capability to work.
the keys which dont work seem to be:
caps
tab
escape
the squiggly thing next to left shift
and the key next to one
thanks for the suggestion though -
Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?
I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find
your web page very helpful in this regard.

Why does drag and drop not work?
Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is. -

Why does my free trial not work? This is intentially misleading.
You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
Adobe trial software expired early
Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

Why does my command c not working?
why does my command c not working?
Hi,
In relation to what ?
Your post has ended up in the iChat Community and does not appear to have anything to do with iChat or Messages.
My first thought would be have you highlighted something that you want to copy from one place to another ?
My second would be that you have created a CMD + C custom keystroke and there is conflict with the OS use of this.
My third would be there just is not enough info to work on

Why does my n81 doesn't work properly in Vodafone ...
Why does my n81 doesn't work properly in Vodafone Live?? I can't download....etc
Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems downloading from Vodafone Live.
If you're able to access the pages of Vodafone Live then the settings in your handset are correct else you wouldn't get that far.
It's possible that there's a problem with your account that’s restricting you from downloading which will need to be looked into. Rather then transferring your account details on the forum would it be possible for you to contact me via email by completing Vodafone Online Contact Forum following the link below.
https://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispatch/Portal/appmanager/vodafone/wrp?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=Page_Hel...
Please fill in all the fields and include the code FIT135 to ensure that the email is directed to the forum Team.
As soon as we receive your email we can look into this further for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Why does my aol mail not sync properly with the Droid Razr? Never had the problem with blackberry but now I deal with a great deal of spam & duplicating tasks
This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs? -
Why does location services not work on my ipad2 with ios7?
Why does my wifi only iPad 2 location serves not work...worked for years, even when I traveled extensively and returned home. I loaded ios7plus and went out West for the holidays. Worked out West and on return, did not...live in country and worked when I took it to Mickey d's six miles away. Only change is ios7 and it's default to Apple maps. Apple support claimed to have passed this to engineering, but despite my follow ups with them using my case number, they have left me in limbo with a silent phone. This is very wrong and not the apple I have known...very frustrated.
Cause Wi-Fi only iPads do not have GPS receivers in them, nor can they use the cell towers for triangulating position. Best they can do is guesstimate based on the hotspots they are connecting to. They base their guess on a database of known hotspots, which can be incomplete, erroneous or wildly inaccurate. The rise of the problem can be due to any change you or your ISP has done to the Wi-Fi setup you use.
If you need to depend on critical apps that require reliable Location Services, get Wi-Fi+Cell devices next time. They can be used without a SIM chip with no problems (and not paying for cell charges), but GPS will work fine. -
Os x 10.9 location services not working on a 2008 mac pro
Maps and all other services that rely of my location are not working for me.
Do you have to have wifi for it to work?
I have turned on location services in sys prefs so that is not the problem.
Early 2008 Mac Pro (no wifi)
OS X 10.9
Any help is appreciated.Guestguest wrote:
I have to turn off wi-fi and use ethernet (to make sure I have the fastest speed – the ethernet-speed – all the time). Why can't I define a location for my external IP-address at this location, so that Maps can use that location in location services?
Seems strange that there is no way to set your location though. Manually I mean. It is a desktop not a laptop so it doesn't move around.
You can set the Network priority to Ethernet, so even if you have both Ethernet and also Wi-Fi connected, it will use Ethernet.
That way you can leave Wi-Fi on for location services, but use your ethernet connection for the speed.
Go to System Preferences > Network
Select the gear wheel at the bottom and select the Set Service Order. Drag the connections in the order that you want to be priority. -
Why does the App Store not work in Genius with VoiceOver switched on
After I downloaded IOS 6 to my iPhone 4 there were a lot of things not working properly, the main things that were a problem was the App Store, to move anything with VoiceOver switched on it was touch-and then tap twice also to move the thing on the page you use three fingers swipe up or down left or right to move it. We now find that to move something in Charts you only need one finger touchon the left to move it.If Some body can come up with thee answer it is the People that work in the Accessability side of things at Apple. So if you know in Ireland why Apple cannot put in the info for Accessability for People who are Blind like me we cannot see what is going on we do not change anyof the settings...
Thank you very much for the reply. That certainly makes sense, as I am sure it is all the Time Machine backups I have that are at the root of the problem. How can I update all those older version Apps deeply embedded within my TM backups, or is the solution to unmount my 2TB drive that I use for TM?
I suppose if Apple could somehow direct the App Store to disregard all those other apps in TM, the problem would be resolved.
