Mathematica 10.3.1
Mac OS 10.10.5
Location services - On

Unclear what’s going on. Updated Java to latest version: Java 8 Update 71

Caveat: Mathematica newbie studying the “Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language” online book.

Thanks for any help!

When that happens to me I’m never sure whether it is the information, or myself, that is missing/unavailable.

Hm. What do you get when you evaluate the following:

Import@"http://dataserver.wolfram.com/GeoIPLookup/GeoIPLookupServlet"

Do you see this problem with other things?

hi sean,

thanks for the response.

i finally resolved the issue. executing $GeoLocation=FindGeoLocation[], solved the problem.

when i execute your code snippet i get coordinates returned - same as when i executed the code listed above.

That’s strange. Most likely, $GeoLocation was redefined somehow.
