Q: Moved house - iMac still showing as old house in all location services
Hi
I recently moved house. I updated to Yosemite the other day, and was playing around with widgets and said Yes to using my location for weather.
Funnily enough, it used the location of my old house.
I the noticed that using maps, it pins me at the old house still, and using Find my iPhone it shows my Mac as being at the old house as well.
I tried adding home address details to my login contact. I have turned off and on location services.
How the heck do I get it to update whatever it needs to update to update my location!!
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Well as it tuned out it was a corrupt com.apple.geod.plist file.
I was searching for info on why my apps were stuck in downloading, and noticed that com.apple.geod in my activity monitor services was 'not responding'. Hmm, geod I though, sounds like geographic. So a bit of googling, and other had noticed it was also not responding on their systems (Not responding processes in Actvity Monitor: callservicesd, coreaudiod, com.apple.geod, identityservicesd, and icloud he…
So after deleting com.apple.geod.plist from my library/preferences file, all was well and good!!
