Why is there no control to turn off location services?  I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.0.1.  I now have no control over location services.  Will it always be on and only activate if an application requires it?

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.0.1.  I now have no control over location services.  Will it always be on and only activate if an application requires it?  I want to be sure it will not drain the battery unnecessarily.

I found this answer in ios 4, but it worked on the ios 6 on my iphone 4:

so i actually ended up walking into genius bar today. they couldn't figure out which program was causing the glitch either, but the way they solved it was by resetting all the location service permissions altogether. for those of you who want to know how to do this, navigate to "settings > general > reset > reset location warnings". also fyi, the apple service rep told me the purple location service icon next to each app simply signifies that particular app has requested your location within the past 24 hours, not necessarily that the app is active. hope this helps those with the same problem as i had.  iPhone 4, iOS 4
I will mention that I did not have the problem until I downloaded the new googlemaps, which I have deleted off my iphone.

  • I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping and entering passcode.  Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked using your fingerprint?

    I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping the screen and entering your passcode.  Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked via fingerprint?  I liked the idea of having the extra security of a fingerprint sensor, but not if the phone can still be unlocked using only the passcode.  Then, what's the point of touch id?  Am I missing something here?

    What happens if the touch ID sensor gets broken?  It is a backup method to get in to your device.
    Consider editing your lock screen passcode, changing it from a simple 4 digit code, to a longer more complex password.

  • Is there any way to turn off data and use only wi fi

    is there any way to turn off data and use only wi fi, going to a foreign country and do not want to use data but wi fi will be available. I want to be sure to use only wi fi

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • Is there any way to turn off the "Determining Gapless Playback"

    Every time I open Itunes the "Determining Gapless Playback routines starts. I always let this finish and after a while it appears to stop and I only have the Apple logo at the top of Itunes. However, if I close Itunes and restart it the "deteriminig Gapless Playback" routine starts all over again. Isn't there any way to turn off this annoying new feature....

    You could try a reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart.  If that doesn't get rid of the volume control box on your screen, it's time to make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store, and they can send your iPad off for service.

  • Is there a way to turn off the function in Lion that re-opens the last project you worked on in a given program?

    Is there a way to turn off the function in Lion that re-opens the last project you worked on in a given program?

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • Is there a need to turn off my Apple TV when I'm using it? If so, how do I turn it off?

    Is there a need to turn off my Apple TV when I'm not using it? If so, how do I turn it off?

    Kappy,
    I know you said that my Apple TV shuts itself off after about an hours idle time but mine only shuts itself off radomly maybe one every two days even when the TV has been off and the iMack has been off over night. My wife and I both have iPhones and she has an iPad which may be causing the Apple to stay on. Don't know. Incidentally, my Apple TV  shows my iMack iPhoto pictures and albums great. Still a little concerned that it doesn't shut off after some idle time.

  • Why does my i-4 just turn off on its own

    why does my i-4 just turn off on its own

    Depending on the age and use of the phone, this could be a battery problem and you should get your battery checked by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place.

    Apple can replace the battery for you:
    How much does iPhone Battery Replacement Service cost?
    Service arranged through Apple costs $79. A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if this service requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.

  • Is there any way to turn off keypad sounds when making a phone call?

    I am a new user to iphone....is there any way to turn off sounds of keypad when making a manual phone call of someone not in address book?
    Thanks

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

  • Is there a way to turn off photo sharing between three iphones?

    We just purchased three iphones. Is there a way to turn off the photo sharing? We only want the pictures to be on the phone that took them, not shared between all three. 

    If you mean they are signed into the same iCloud account and are sharing the same photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and turn Photo Stream off.

  • Is there a way to turn off the auto create a date based reminder?

    Is there a way to turn off having my reminder moved to a different day if I use the word 'tomorrow' or anything else that could indicate a future date.  Sometimes I want a reminder today for example to 'bring gift to work tomorrow'  or buy 2/3 cup something.  This reminder would be moved ot Feb 3rd based on the 2/3.

    Sorry, but what a bunch of poo poo. All of this technology and the only way to shut off a sound affect is to completely mute the entire phone?

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.
