• IPhone hacked, how to deepen the control of location services?

  So my router, mac and iphone got hacked, more than likely by the FBI.  They were investigating a person in my building, but it has proved to be a dead end.  Apparently, they decided to illegally monitor me.  My location service is initially resembled the image as an attachment, with the error message of the filling.  Now, I can't even access the tab "Location services" because it is faded and I can't draw in this.  I would like to get information from my phone to apple because I am sure that my phone has been violated by an iMessage randomly that I received.  Any ideas on how I can have apple examine how he missed their OS 9.3 on my phone?  The other problem is that I'm in Puerto Rico, where there is no apple on the island store and I won't be back on the Mainland for some time.

  I also sent the screenshot of iMessage in question to the [email protected] but did not receive an automatic reply, so I don't know if apple never received.  In any case, to check if it has been received?

  

  Unless you have jailbroken your iPhone, it could not have been hacked away. There is no way to "violate" an iPhone via a random iMessage. If iMessage takes you to a link that asks you if you want to install a profile and press 'Ok', there are a limited number of things that anyone could join. To check this, go to settings > general > device management and delete everything that you are not familiar with.

• Issue with IPhone 6 location Services - showed me 60 miles from where I was!

  On 26 September this year, I left my home to go to work security at an event. Left after 08:00 and pulled into the parking lot of the expo center where he stood right at 830. Spent the whole day there to walk, talking to sellers, etc.. My wife is using find my Iphone app to locate my teenage son who was late home. We were all sharing connection of an Apple (we all have separate apple ID now), and my phone shows me about 60 miles away at 16:50. My position then showed about 5 miles from where I was working before bouncing to the wrong address about 60 miles away. She ping my phone by finding my phone shortly after and it shows me about a mile away before finally arriving at my real place. Looked at my phone when I got home. I checked my phone via the settings > privacy > Location Services > System Services > common places and he showed me the wrong place from 0800 to 1730. I was inside all the time in a building that is known for bad cell service. Building is also equipped with a wi - fi connection. Many sellers did business on their phones and possible hot spots. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what might have caused it. The phone seems to show the correct location after that.

  Thank you

  If the event was inside, the phone couldn't use the GPS (or cell phone because of the wrong signal towers) and was locate via Wi - Fi, of the building or the sellers.  If Wi - Fi the building wasn't in the Apple database, because it has not taken over by iPhones outside the building that uses the GPS and location sent to Apple, your phone would be stuck with WiFi from the vendor for the location.  He could end up with last recoded location of seller.

• Cannot turn off the location Services on the new iPhone

  For some reason, there is no way to disable the location Services on new iPhone 6 s daughter. We have switched/updated sound from an old iPhone 5, but were sure disable settings find my phone/Find My Friends. In addition, iPhone 5 has been wiped clean. However, location Services are unable to be activated off the coast on the new iPhone... the toggle switch is "grayed out". Even in circles iCloud, even in the General settings.

  The idea was to find it on my friends for the new phone, but this is not possible, since it states that this service is managed by the iPhone 5... is no longer active. No matter what I try (reboot, reset location/privacy settings, turn off all network connections), I am unable to adapt localization Services (On / Off) and subsequently, the share location parameter.

  3 other phones that we have obtained (6s as well) do not present the issues and working properly, including the activation of location Services button.

  Hi, pairof9s.

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  I understand that you can't change the setting of location Services on iPhone again your daughter 6 s.  It looks like may have restored the old iPhone backup and restrictions are activate that prevent changes to certain characteristics.  You can check by going to settings > general > Restrictions and see if they are enabled.  You can then temporarily disable restrictions you can change this setting.  Take a look at the article below for more information.

  On Restrictions (parental control) on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

  In regards not being not able to find my friends, you need to maybe just remove the iPhone 5 find it my iPhone via iCloud.com service.  Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to remove the device.

• Location iPhone 4S services dimmed after 9.2

  I know that I have a dinosaur of the iPhone, but I love my little 4 of s.  Just updated to iOS 9.2 and location services are grayed out.  I can't find any setting process or restore.  Thanks for all the ideas.

  Do you have any restrictions on? I ran into this issue when I have had share my location disabled in restrictions (not in the parameters of location, but under restrictions itself). Once I allowed him, I could see again the location services and make changes. Individual applications needed to be admitted again once they are open again, but the parameters of the system should be visible.

  Hi there tungfromdenver!

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!  Thank you for bringing your question about location Services no longer works after having recently upgraded to iOS 10.  I rely on location Services in this many apps, so I know how important it is to work properly for Safari.  It's my pleasure to help you today.

  I will first go through this article to make sure that the location Services settings are correct:

  Use GPS and location Services for applications on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  In particular, I want you to check that location Services are turned on for Safari and Chrome.

  Best wishes.

• Reminders in the absence of list of location Services

  I try to activate reminders of location based in ios10 on my iphone 6s, but when I go into settings-> privacy-> location enabling services I don't see recalls on the list of applications.  Location service is activated and I changed my sync reminder to iCloud only (rather than Exchange), but it is yet to appear.

  When I go into settings-> privacy-> reminders, all I see is gray text saying "The apps that have requested access to your reminders will appear here."  No other option.

  Someone has ideas of how I can receive reminders to appear on my list of location-based services application so I can enable location based reminders?  Thank you!

  Hello kevdoog,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding reminders is no longer an option of location service after update to iOS 10. I often use the location based reminders, I can certainly understand your concern. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

  First of all, I recommend you reboot the phone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below to restart.

  1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
  3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

  Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  If the problem persists, reset location Services by going to settings > general > reset > reset card and privacy. Once this is done apps will be stop using your location until approval is granted.

  Have an amazing day!

• IOS10 location services

  Since the upgrade to iOS 10, Safari gives me an error of position "unavailable" when I navigate to sites that use this feature.  Location service is enabled for Safari and I don't have this problem with other applications.  Is this a known issue?

  Thank you

  Location service now seems to require an HTTPS (SSL/TSL) connection, regardless of the browser and the browser settings.

• Solution on how to remove always on location service in the status bar

  Think about the last apps that you use which has led to the appearance of the purpose of the location in the status bar

  The problem is most likely due to resources are still used by these applications even if you restart your iPhone, many times

  The sign of location service can keep here.

  I tried the solution without help.

  It's a chance that I remembered the last apps I used is Runkeeper

  I went to this apps and ended.

  The problem can be solved.

  Disable background refresh App

  And also go to turn OFF the location for that Service the app & confidentiality if you think that location services is not useful for the App

• Wallet appears twice in location services

  On my iPhone running iOS 9.3.1 portfolio 6 appears twice under settings > privacy > location services.  You never have or when you use the options and the other has never and always.

  One else you have this?  Seems strange.

  Post edited by: Match144

  I have only portfolio once with ever and while using options

  Try a forced reboot - after open applications using the app Chooser - invoked by fast double pressing the home button and drag upwards on each app until it disappears from the screen.

  Meet the sleep/wake and home buttons down until you see the logo  - then release and allow normal start upward

• Deliver location Services

  iMac, end of 2015

  iPod 5th generation Touch.

  Since arriving in a new home several miles from our previous stay, location Services was unable to determine my 'current location '.

  I am somewhat isolated here and not in the scope of other WiFi networks.  Since location uses services nearby WiFi networks to triangulate the location of my base station, it seems that I have more chance.  Apple used to use Skyhook Wireless as a database for base stations and you can submit your Lat/Long. and the MAC address of your router and that would solve this problem, but unfortunately Apple uses more Skyhook.

  So here I am in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa and unable to use the maps, weather apps or any other application that requires location on my iMac or iPod Touch services.

  According to reports, if you connect to a Wi - Fi network with an iPhone, the location of the network will be sent to Apple and added to the database after a period of time. An iPhone, unlike other Apple devices, has built-in GPS satellite navigation and therefore can locate itself regardless of Wi - Fi. The phone will be charged to share diagnostic and information about using with Apple.

• Problem with location Services

  MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012)

  OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.4 (15E65)

  Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

  Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

  When I go to the Maps app and click on the current location, I get the message "cards cannot locate current position." Also when I drag the local weather on the notification bar is not find local weather conditions.

  I have ensured that allow location Services is checked under Security & Privacy Preferences. I signed on iCloud and unchecked localization services enable and rechecked it.

  The only time wherever I can run is if I go to the activity monitor and force them to leave the following processes

  com Apple.GEOD (923)

  via (919)

  This will usually get the time to work and show the current location, but it doesn't work sometimes in the cards.

  I provided the date and time is correct and it is synchronized with the site time.apple.com

  When I go to the time zone in the Date and time it shows the city closest to me marked with a blue dot, and if I go over it it says "unable to determine the current location at this time.

  I had this problem since upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan.

  I would also like to add that, in my house, I have an iPhone more 6s, two iPhone 5s, an iPad (Wi - Fi only) Air and two iPad 2 air (Wi - Fi only) who have no problems with location services.

  I have this problem too, but in my case if I returned to Yosemite the problem is solve, there must be something in El Capitan.

• Location Services does not-Macbook Pro and iPad 2

  I read through many questions is similar with location services. I recently moved from Shenyang in the northeast of China in Beihai in the South. The MacbookPro or my iPad can find my position. Before moving here, the two pieces of material worked well in Shenyang.

  The WiFi router I use is new (TP-Link TL-WR886N) and issued by the local network provider. There have been is several posts suggesting that some routers cannot pass on location data - possible to determine in the configuration of the router?

  I've been in System Preferences and China as my area with the "checkmark" automatic time zone setting zone will display the message "cannot determine the current location at this time." Location icon is not displayed in the menu bar. If I 'look' in location services watch poster cards tried to use location services.

  I have a Huawei smartphone with a version of the load maps and it works perfectly, to the extent of showing that my location is concerned; the downside is that the cards are in Chinese only, something with that I am fighting to familiarize themselves.

  Would it be possible to use the Huawei (Android) phone as a mobile hotspot that my IPad maps app could use? I had then matched but so far ' cards, does not pick up location data.

  Location services (including the automatic selection of the zone maps and 'Find my Mac') is based on a database of known locations with Wi - Fi access points. You do not have to be connected to a wireless network, but WiFi must be active and to reach one of these access points. Otherwise the machine will not located at all, or location will be wrong. Sometimes the location will be incorrect because the database contains incorrect data. What happens, for example, if you moved from one place to another and taken your Wi - Fi router with you. The router is still listed in the database, but in the old location.

  According to reports, if you connect to a Wi - Fi network with an iPhone, the location of the network will be sent to Apple and added to the database after a period of time. An iPhone, unlike other Apple devices, has built-in GPS satellite navigation and therefore can locate itself regardless of Wi - Fi.

• BlackBerry Z30 battery saving mode uses "location services", although not active

  Hi all

  Although exclude/disable battery saving mode settings location service monitor says the opposite. Each time that the savings mode "location services" use about 30% of all resources during these times.

  Bug or "feature"? ".

  Thank you

  Hmm, you can try to reset

  Turn off battery saving mode--> press and hold down the power button until the red LED is displayed, the device restarts and appearance of the logo blackberry and telephone lights--> ride on battery saving mode (with off location services), and then monitor the battery consumption again.

• I can't turn on location Services

  When I try to click on the button to activate the location service, it takes some time, lights and turns off immediately.

  System Preferences

  May be a corrupt .plist.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Quit the application.

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

  Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

  If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.
