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.

  • Error different when GPS location service is disabled

    Hello

    I wear my android app to BB10 is vased location services. So when I disable location services in android it gives me the error message like this: "the phone GPS must be enabled" and likewise I turn off location services in BB10 it gives me the error message like: "lead-time of the GPS position.

    So, what is in question in the present?

    The problem is that the Android location provider enabled / disabled does not match the OS Settings.  So if it enabled in Android, but disabled in the operating system, Android assume should be able to access these data.  It can not.

    This is a bug / control setting that activating / disabling the setting is not turn the Android operating system.

    Edit: The development team knows about this problem and a solution is being developed for a future version.

    Hello dogsandcats,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you are not able to activate location Services within the parameters of security and privacy on your Mac. I know how it is important for you to be able to turn on location Services. When you go to System Preferences, then Security & Privacy, make sure you click on the padlock at the bottom left and type your admin password. Then you should be able to turn on location Services.

    On location in OS X and Safari Services

  • I can't turn off the location-aware feature in Firefox 4.

    I tried the technique suggested for Firefox 3.6 and the browser continues to display my ads tailored to my place. If I can't turn this off, I'll move from browsers.

    There are two ways that your location can be determined. One is through the geo-location feature, which uses WiFi signals on mobile devices; does not work on desktop computers unless you have a wireless card installed. Geo-location can be turned off in Firefox.

    The other is the IP address of your connection, which cannot be disabled in Firefox. You must use a Proxy Server / service to act as the intermediate connection to hide your real IP address. It would be easier to use Adblock Plus and just to hide these ads, then to mess with use of a Proxy, IMO.

    Will not be very different with other browsers.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Can I disable the Terminal Services if I don't use remote assistance/remote desktop?

    I use can I have Vista 32 bit home premium

    I thought that Vista have no remote desktop? Is not Terminal identical remote desktop services?

    When I go

    MyComputer > right click > properties > remote adjustment

    the box for "Allow remote Assisnatnce" is NOT COCHEE

    But when I run Netstat - ano, I see that port 3389 is listening svchost.exe process when I checal what services are related to this particular svchost.exe, I see the following services:

    Cryptographic services
    DNS client
    network location awareness
    KtmRm for distributed transaction coordination
    telephony

    and Terminal Server services

    Seems to be at a point several years ago, I allowed someone from microsoft to help me through the assistance at a distance could therefore have enabled or downloaded services Terminal Server?

    In any case, I think that Terminal Services is initially port 3389 to remain open and thus get an unsolicited connection attempts from different IP addresses.

    I tried a little experiment and finished the Terminal Services and changed the status of manual start-up. When I still ran netstat - ano, he showed no listening on port 3389

    However, when I rebooted my computer Terminal Server was running again. So I ended it again but this time off the service. When I fell net stat - ano he showed terminal services does not. then when I restarted my computer, Terminal Server services do not have turn on port 3389 has not been shown that listening

    SO my question is, as a user of Vista which doesn't use remote help desk or remotely.

    1. I CAN keep the disabled Services Terminal Server?

    2. it cause me any problem of operation or security if she stays in the disabled state?

    3 have disabled will cause me to not be able to get the scheduled updates?

    Thank you

    But I have been informed by Norton Personal asa require a Terminal Server Services be, nit for the part of remote assistance, but for other reasons. They say I can't turn off
