I have the most recent Ipod touch and recently I have noticed that the location services have not been working. I have location services activated in settings, but the iPod is still not able to find its location when i ask siri, for example, what the weather will be like. It also does not show up in "find my iPhone" services.
iPod touch, iOS 8.1.3
Do you have it turned on in Settings>Privacy?
Location
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. No one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds
Yes the privacy settings are set to allow location sharing. When I open maps it displays an error message that says cannot determine location.
Sounds like networks within range are not in Apple's database.
What if you go to other networks like Starbuck's?
i haven't tried that. I am using my colleges network so that may be the problem. Ive also had problems with migration assistant for mac on this network so that may be the problem.
would activating vpn make a difference?
That should not make any difference
