Wrong locations using Map to Geocache

I have recently noted that when I put in the coordinates in Map to Geocache using Latitude and Longitude that it does not put the locations where it should be. For example: I am in upstate NY in the Adirondacks. When I put the coordinates in for a Geocache, it drops a pin about 40-50 miles away in the middle of the Adirondack Park. This has made the Map app useless for Geocaching. Does anyone know what has happened? I was using this all the time, and now it seems to be broken. Did this happen with the 3.0 update? Has anyone heard if Apple is going to fix it?
I have an iPhone 3GS using 3.0.
Thanks,

Well it's true, you just need to take that 1/2 a second to select the pin first.

Business address points to wrong location on map

When entered into the Apple maps app, the address of my business sends my customers 15 miles away into the boonies. I have done the report a problem and moved the pin in the app NUMEROUS times over the last 6 months. Is there any way to contact someone that can actually do something about this? It is beyond frustrating for me and my customers.
Thanks

Is there a way to modify the variable that windows GPO uses? In the GPO configuration window for shortcuts the target location is a drop-down menu and when you select desktop is uses the %DesktopDir% variable even though this isn't a valid.

My store location is wrong on iphone maps, what now?

I do not own any apple products. I am here because I get about 3 calls per day, from people that do, saying that their iPhone took them to the wrong location. How can I fix this problem for them? How can I tell apple my correct address or fix whatever problem is occurring?

Paranoia perhaps, I just find it strange that the only electronic map that has my location wrong is the one that allows users "report a problem", setting the location in a different place as the address, and doesn't run off the basic address=location theory that company's like Google use.
My address is "public knowledge" but most people memorize my company name not the address, and if they use apple maps they will not find me.
I'm just here hoping that someone knows about an easy over ride method that owners of the company who's store location is in question can utilize to help iPhone direct its users to where they are trying to go.
I am having a terribly hard time figuring out how to "take this up with apple" All I can find is a ton of other people with this problem and the only solution being to "report a problem" on the maps, but this doesn't seem to work.
My real question is how do you get a hold Apple to take this up with them. Because Contact Us and Support has only lead me here.

Maps directs me to wrong location

Hi All -- My Google maps (the one that came with the phone) constantly sends me to the wrong location. I'll type in a known address (let's say 5410 Wilshire Blvd, 90036) and it will give me directions just to Wilshire Blvd (no street address). It does this almost every time, both in Maps view and List view.
I've tried typing the address in, or linking to it from my calendar meeting location, and still doesn't work.
I have the google app, so I can go there, go to Maps and enter it in there and it works fine, but that seems like a lot of extra work. Anyone find a fix?
Also, I'm finding it near impossible to view traffic on the map if you have a route marked.

I have the google app, so I can go there, go to Maps and enter it in there and it works fine, but that seems like a lot of extra work. Anyone find a fix?
I just tried this ("5410 Wilshire Blvd, 90036") and a red pin drops down to a precise street address (looks to be over Vince). Where does your red pin fall?
Also, I'm finding it near impossible to view traffic on the map if you have a route marked.
This is a problem I experience as well. Unfortunately the best solution I have found is that once the purple route line has been drawn after tapping Route, to just toggle over to Search and the purple will go away. This way you can see traffic conditions as you have a general idea of where the purple is.

Modify a mapping's table location using OMBALTER MAPPING

Hi,
I also posted this on metalink. So here's my question.
I can set certain table properties used by an OWB mapping, using the OMBALTER MAPPING syntax. Here I'm setting a dblink, OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (DATABASE_LINK) VALUES ('MY_DBLINK')
OR
loading hint OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (LOADING_HINT) VALUES ('/*+ APPEND */')
My problem is when I try changing a table's location. Here's what I already tried.
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (LOCATION) VALUES ('MY_LOCATION')
Result: OMB02902: Error setting property LOCATION of MY_MAPPING: MMM1034: Property LOCATION does not exist
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (LOCATION_NAME) VALUES ('MY_LOCATION')
Result: OMB02902: Error setting property LOCATION_NAME of MY_MAPPING: MMM1034: Property LOCATION_NAME does not exist
Question is how can I change the location name of table "MY_TABLE" used by OWB mapping "MY_MAPPING" with OMB+?
OWB release is 10.2.0.31
Thank you and please excuse this newby question but I find the Oracle documentation very cryptic.

Hi,
That's not correct, I had an issue when I changed the asociated location of one of the modules. After that the mappings of another modules using tables of the altered module continue referencing to the older location. I don't know if the problem persists when closing OWB and opening again, but I made a OMB Script to change de location of the tables. The property name is DB_LOCATION, not LOCATION:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MY_MAPPING' MODIFY OPERATOR 'MY_TABLE' SET PROPERTIES (DB_LOCATION) VALUES ('MY_NEW_LOCATION')

1Changing my location on Maps app

Hello fellow iPeople,
I have a 1st gen. iPod touch, downloaded the new s-ware update to 2.1, got some apps from the store and now have a question/problem. Under the Maps app, google maps shows my location to be somewhere in North East Illinois, however I live in central Florida. I would like to be able to change my default location so my iPod knows where I live. I have my address saved in contacts, and it is also mapped, but whenever i touch the crosshairs to go back to my location, i go right back to Illinois. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Message was edited by: Blue_Dragon

Touching the cross hairs makes the iPod use WiFi to find your location.
If the WiFi network you are connected to is incorrectly registered with SkyHook (i.e. the wrong location has been entered with skyhook for the WiFi router) then you will always be located there in maps.

Try signing out, then back in on your phone: Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in. If that doesn't work, reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com.

Robo Help Server 8 Publishing files to wrong location

Hi
I have recently installed a trail verstion of Robo Help 8 server. All appears to be ok with the install I can access the website and log into the admin portal etc... The only diffrence from the default install is that I have configured tomcat to use port 80 rather than 8080.
However I am having a problem whenever i try to publish a help file from Robo Help 8, I input all of the details of the server <Server IP>/robohelp/server
put in the default admin username and password and select the general area to publish the help file to. All of the files appear to publish ok from Robo Help 8 and no errors are receved.
When I log onto the admin portal of the website the there is nothing displayed in the projects window. I have check the local disk of there server were robo help is installed and i think the problem may be that the server is putting the files in the wrong location.
I can see that a folder has been created in the following location
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp Server 8\robo\server\general\projects\TestProject
with the following folders within it
resource
webhelp_skin_files
whdata
whxdata
However none of these folders contain any data.
All of the files apper to be uploading to C:\ not the above directory wich is what i would expect.
If a copy the files that have been uploaded to C:\ to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp Server 8\robo\server\general\projects\TestProject and restart the tomcat service the project then shows in the project window. However when i click view project all i get is a blank screen. I have searched the forum but cannot find anyone having a similar issue.
Any help would be gratley appriciated.
Below is the config of the Server
Windows 2003 Server IIS not installed
Java 6.21
Tomcat 6.0.29
Robo Help Server 8

aha!
If the firewall is on, turn it off.

Jump to wrong location

I have a project with about 85 slides that was built with Captivate 4. Many of the slides have buttons that jump to other slides for branching within the presentation. On one of the buttons it is jumping to the wrong slide when I deploy it to our LMS (Moodle). In the web broser preview it works fine, and the properties of the button show it jumping to the correct slide, but when I deploy it within Moodle, it jumps to the wrong location. I have reloaded it and rebuilt it several times, but it is still doing the same thing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Whitney

Questions on Using MAPS 1.0 on E90.

A couple of questions on Maps.
I started fiddling with Navigation. If I back out and come back, is there a way to resume where I left off with regard to route planning without having to select the from/to locations and re-do the entire thing? I guess, can I save a route?
Can I 'speed up' the simulation? (drive faster by, say, forcing the driving speed to a higher speed)
Can I 'start a simulation' from a point along the route? Particularly so if I am interrupted during a simulation.
On my E90, I find Maps to be rather unreliable. Maps 1.0 Crashes - how can I try the new 2.0 Beta?
Is there a 'supported/official' way of downloading Maps and putting them on my E90 given that the Map Loader application does not work? Well, it didn't work last time I tried it, does it work for anyone else? Sheesh, I have been using Maps via my Wireless Home network - it sure does soak down the data - it would drive me broke if I was paying the data costs here in Oz!
...Lyall

I am pretty sure I tried all the stuff you mentioned, except I don't think that I had achieved a GPS fix prior to using the Map Loader.
The manual said nothing about requiring a GPS fix first, it only says to have run MAPS and to connect in Data Transfer mode (yes, I have read the manual and just about all the info there is on MAPS and Map Loader).
I am a long time user of Symbian (since a Psion Revo, and a Psion Siena before that) and each time I buy a symbian device after the Revo, I go through a period of disappointment, then frustration before settling down to acceptance. Apps crash, functionality is crippled by people who have no idea about user friendly interfaces (Revo Agenda was awesome compared to the garbage Calendar used nowadays on Symbian) and applications/System are flakey. I think I might even call this the Symbian Syndrome.

Folders on the IMAP server do not appear or appear in wrong location - those cannot be modified in Thunderbird because "they do not exist on server".

Hi all,
A few days ago, I moved 3 sub-folders within my Archive folder. I was doing those modifications using Thunderbird.
My Archive folder used to contain the following sub-folders:
Archive
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
I tried to move the folders A2014, B2014 and C2014 under the sub-folder LastYear, and created new A, B and C folders for 2015, so that it would be something like:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/C2014
/A2015
/B2015
/C2015
On the webmail interface, everything looks fine: the old A, B and C folders where moved into the Archives/LastYear folder, and the new A, B and C folders appear under Archives. However, on Thunderbird things are a bit more... strange.
Case 1: For some folders, things are as they should be.
Folders A2014 and B2014 were correctly moved into Archives/LastYear.
Folders A2015 and C2015 were correctly created in Archives.
Case 2: One folder does not appear at all - anymore.
Folder B2015 does not appear anywhere - despite being visible on the webmail interface. It does not appear in the list of folders to synchronize. No .msf file appear. Nothing happens if I try creating it again.
Note that it briefly existed after I created it, but stopped appearing a few hours later.
Case 3: One folder appears in the wrong location and cannot be accessed.
Folder C2014 appears in the old location (Archives) and not were it should be (and is on the webmail interface), that is Archives/LastYear. I cannot perform any operation on it in Thunderbird, I systematically get the following error message:
"The current operation on 'C2014' did not succeed. The mail server for account <AccountName> responded: "Archives/C2014" doesn't exist."
(Which is correct because according to the server the folder C2014 is in Archives/LastYear).
The C2014.msf file is also wrongly located, but moving it to the correct location did not change anything: the next time Thunderbird was started, the wrongly located .msf file was re-created.
Thunderbird does not show the emails contained in this folder - when I try loading them I get the previous error message.
Using the same style than before, here is how my Archives folder look right now:
Archive
/LastYear
/A2014
/B2014
/A2015
/C2015
/C2014
I am totally flabbergasted, I have no idea of where the problem is. I tried various fixes found on forums (such as playing around with the .msf files), but no luck so far. Any idea?
A few more details:
- I use an IMAP server.
- This is a professional address, and I have little control on it.
- I use Thunderbird with this account on two different computer, the problem is identical on both computers.
- I tried removing/re-installing the account from Thunderbird, it did not change anything.
I would be eternally grateful if any of you could come up with a solution!
Many many thanks,
Agnes

I know my files downloaded through Firefox won't appear in my downloads folder because that is just supported by Safari
No, I think that Apple just assigned the Downloads folder to Safari to send things there by default. You can do the same with Firefox, just go to the Firefox Preferences, click on main, tick the "Save files to..." and click the Choose button, then navigate to /Users/yourname/Downloads and click choose. I have always had all my Internet applications download things to a Downloads folder I keep at the root level of the drive (so all users can access them), but I just changed the Firefox pref to the new Apple Downloads folder and it worked fine.

My location service is not working from the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?

From the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) while using ios5.1 .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?.Which means that is there is any problem in my ipad ? currently running on IOS 6.

Your location is determined from a location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The database is built and updated by actually driving around and mapping router locations.
Since you just moved the location of your router has not been updated in the database and when you use Maps you will see your old location.
If you go outside your house you can be correctly located because your iPod sees other routers which are in the location database. Note that you do not need to be connected to a router for your iPod to see it and obtain its MAC address.

Register and unregister locations using ombplus script

hi
how to register and unregister the locations using ombplus scripts.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Keka

The deployment script I have posted previously to copy a project mdl over to a new repository for local deployment includes creating a control center, making it the default for your project, creating the locations, assigning them to the control center, and registering them.
Re: importing mappings using OMBPLUS
To unregister a location, first you want to undeploy anything deployed from it to avoid dangling references int he repository, and then unregister the location.
I do that in the following drop_project script that we use to delete an old copy of the project before importing the new version.

exec_omb OMBDISCONNECTThis script uses the same config and library file given in the other post that I pointed you towards. That is where you will find the definition for exec_omb, for example which is simply a wrapper for OMB+ calls
Now, note that I don't un-deploy any tables, views, sequences etc. We use Designer as our location of record for the data model metadata so our OWB project never deploys any object metadata except for mappings. Your setup may be different, still this should point you in the right direction.
Cheers,
Mike

When I try to put a location into maps it shuts down. Reinstalled - the same. It happens on two 5s phones. help

We have two iPhone 5s. On both when trying to put in the location in maps, the app shuts down. If I reinstall the software, Maps are working, but when I restore my iPhone Maps aren't working again. This is happening on both iPhones. Any idea what I could do?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie
