Just bought my iPhone 4S yesterday and when i click on "Maps"
This Error Appears: "Cannot Determine Location"
Image Below:
I tried to reset my phone using ALL these options below.
Still makes no difference.
I'm just wondering does anyone know how to fix this annoying glitch?
Thanks,
Kind Regards,
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Go to Settngs > Location Services. Is it turned on?
Hello Sberman,
Yes its turned on and it still says ""Cannot Determine Location"
Thanks for your answer tho... 😟
Sorry, I should have asked you this the first time:
Under Settings > Location Services, do you also have "Maps" turned on, as well as all other applications you would like to use with Location Services?
Two more things:
1. Under Settings > General > Date and Time, you should set "Set Automatically" to "On".
2. I'm speculating you're out of your home country. If not, please ignore this ...
You may have to set "Settings > Network > Data Roaming" to "On", and Settings > Network > Cellular Data" to "On".
Hello Sberman
No need to apologise 🙂
Yes everything is turned on - Still doesn't work however 😟
1. Under Settings > General > Date and Time, you should set "Set Automatically" to "On".
Yes it's on 🙂
2. I'm speculating you're out of your home country. If not, please ignore this ...
Nope - I'm at home 🙂
One other thought - it seems unlikely, but just in case:
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
... suggests what you're seeing could possibly be caused by having Restrictions turned on. I doubt that's the case, but do you have Restrictions on (Settings > General > Restrictions)?
Hi,Sberman
Restrictions was always off so that wouldn't affect me.

OK, here's one more place to look:
Under Settings > Location Services at the bottom, you'll see "System Services". Are they all turned on?
Yes there all turned on:
Well, it sounds like you've got everything set up correctly! I suspect you have some hardware issue. Is it easy for you to contact Apple and have them check out the hardware for you? Of course, since your machine is brand new, they won't charge you anything.
Thanks for your help!
Yes, i contacted apple and they said if i cant get it fixed, Its probally a hardware glitch - and to send it back for a free replacement.
Your correct, Thanks - But i would just like to see if there was something i could do to get it work , aww well.
Yes, Apple really does build quality products, and they stand behind them well.
Enjoy your new iPhone 4S! It's quite an amazing machine.
It will be once the maps ,siri and icloud work to its full potential thanks...
