Hi Zenithstar,


This is a known bug of macOS Ventura 13.5. Please update to version 13.5.1 to resolve this issue.

Well everything is turned on… blue and bright not grayed out..the apple support team checked by sharing my screen, as well


i also disabled the screen time also privacy.

but maps, date and time, weather, are not working even universal clipboard seems to be functional which i assume may be beacuse of that!

See, my location was turned on and with all options. My macbook was updated with latest software 13.5.1, but still map was not locating me.. date and time were not not being set according to my location. Weather was not being updated. Even universal click board was not working.

Today i went to replace this with other unit as per advice of Apple support technical team. When at store i opened to show them, everything was working perfect. Map was showing my location. Weather was updated as soon as i opened its app. Date and time were automatically set. Even clipboard was working perfectly. I used the same hotspot connection which i was using at home. Anyway i returned with the same macbook and on reaching home, found the same situation as before, that location services were not working, using the same internet setup as was at the store. No idea how any area is affecting the “FUNCTIONALITY” of location services ONLY in macbook. My hone is 300km away from store. All of my old gadgets like iphone, ipads, samsung galaxy s8 which is my hotspot, my lenovo yoga, all are working fine with location services using the same network. Never ever had i encountered any problem ever.

Any suggestions as how to fix it.
