A telemarketer pushed a Reminder to my iOS 7 iPhone 5s
I got a telemarketing call during the day (that's a different thread).
Later in the day, as I pulled into to my driveway, I got a location-based Reminder to call back that telemarketer. Somehow, the telemarketer set a reminder in my phone to call them.
How on earth does this happen and how can I stop it? I'm on Do Not Call lists, I'm on the national registry. I know about telemarketing calls. But this is the first I've seen of a telemarketer having a Reminder put on an iPhone.
On this topic...
Dear Apple,
Please release whatever restriction you have that prevents apps from blocking calls. I want telemarketing block apps like Android has whereby the app has its own central database of spammer/marketers which gets queried before my phone ever rings. They block the call and I never knew the call happened. I understand Apple won't allow these type apps. Come on, Apple.
So for now, I've got True Caller, which is similar except it is based on a contact it puts in your contact list. The app adds 100's (or more?) numbers to that one contact and blocks that contact. That's not a smart way to go about it. As the list gets to 100,000 numbers, can ONE contact keep that many numbers?
Back on topic - how are telemarketers putting reminders on my phone and how can I stop it?

Most likely, what happened is, when trying to dismiss the call, you accidentally hit the Remind me button. When someone calls you, in addition to the standard options, you also have the option to reply with a message or set a reminder to call the person back.
See page 52 of the manual:

Will push email feature work with ios 6.0.2
Will the push feature work with exchange accounts on iphone 5s running ios 6.0.2
Quoted from my initial post:
"A bug has been reported that affects push mail in iOS 6, that causes the Mail.app to work inconsistently with some Exchange clients. You can expect a fix in the next iOS update."
That's all I can say in a public forum, sorry. -
Downloaded new iOS for iPhone 5. Now the handset is running hot, keeps freezing on different screens, won't charge on official charger ( only charges on crap poundland one) and battery is loosing 1% every two minutes! I've closed all apps and reset the complete phone but no luck. Any one know what else I can try apart from a new phone?
I have done a factory reset at 45% battery. After the reset it's still hot and at 35% now

How do i update my ios on iphone 4
how do i update my ios on iphone 4 if it doesnt come up in the general settings menu?
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.
I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?
Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GSGreetings Yushk,
It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available?? and if so, where is it located???
No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

Is there a way to have photos apper with most recent first on the camera ios 8' iphone 6
IS there a way to set my photos in ascending order rather than decending in my camera? I want the most recent first. Ios 8 iphone 6
I just noticed this tonight! I'm kicking myself for updating iTunes! I have well over 30.000 photos and now they are all out of order.
I upgraded to 10.6.3.25 and all the photos are sorted by date now and none of the sub-folders are recognized.
This has happened before and it took them over a year to fix it. I wish they would give us a preference as to how we want our images displayed. The whole photo cache thing is so ridiculous! Mine is up to 11GB right now. -
I have IOS 7 5S and using mail. Receiving works great. Sending mail will not work. Using Centurylink. On my IOS 6 Iphone 4 it works great. Compared settings and they are identical. Now what?
Well, this is a recurring issue for many users...a small percentage of users but still a bug. Report the issue here to Apple: www.apple.com/feedback
iOS7.0.3 will be released next week, which as of now, I know is primarily for an iMessage but hopefully it will clear up some of these email issues some are also having. -
The decline button is not showing up on IOS 7 iphone 5(when phone locked). could you please advise me on this?
Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer. -

HT204291 Is the Apple TV (Gen 1) no longer supporting Airplay from an IOS device (iPhone 4S)?
Is the Apple TV (Gen 1) no longer supporting Airplay from an IOS device (iPhone 4S)?
It's actually iOS - I used to be able to use audio Airtunes on the original iPhone, but the AppleTV doesnot list on most of my newer devices in the Apple iPod/Music app.
Apple have deliberately omitted it for some reason while still supporting old Airport Express units.
The only workaround is to use Apple's Remote app to control iTunes on a computer and use the Speaker option there.
