My location services are no longer working in Maps - any fixes for this? I've went into settings and it is selected for Maps but not detecting anything. Only happened after El Capitan download.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
I have the same problem. was trying to find something on the internet, but no solution.
I tried to turn on/off the location services, but it did not help.
Any idea?
HI, I'm still stuck. I agree that turning locations off/on doesn't work. Thought I'd sorted it last night - turned wifi off then restarted the iMac. Turned wifi back on & my location was detected. I then did a direction to test it out & it worked once before losing the location again. You should try this & see if it's the same result. Don't understand why only a few people are getting this problem. Apple need to fix this.
I tried what you said and i got the same result. The location services was working for about a minute then went off 😟
Maybe something to do with wifi settings but don't know to check it. I'm going to try to get answers from Apple - if I find anything I'll let you know. Good luck!
Turning on WiFi from the menu bar on my iMac fixed it for me. It still uses your ethernet connection for data transfer. It just needs the WiFi to determine location.
Same problem for me, El Capitan 10.11.2.
Same here. Installed 10.11.2 from Yosemite that worked fine. Have tried dozens of things not mentioned here, but nothing. Now, if you delete certain user or kernel cache, then when you restart, the location icon will show up in the menu bar, and maps will actually locate during those few seconds, but then never works after that. So, find my mac no longer works, auto time set does not work, etc. But I know all my settings are correct as it does work after cache removal just after restart. Please let me know if anyone has learned something new? Has anyone submitted a trouble ticket to apple? Don't have time now, but will do in the next few weeks... yeah bummer
Same problem for me 😟
It really drive me crazy, I've read many forums on the internet. Looks like many Mac owner's have the same problem, but Apple does't care.
How can I find my Mac if I lost somewhere, or stolen?
Location services not working any more
