Add location in reminders

when creating a reminder in reminders(IOS5) the "add location" is not available. I am using a 3gs
Thnaks

If you don't have a physical address listed in your contacts, then it will not show the "add location". Go to maps, add a location to your contacts from there and then go to reminders.
Having said all that, I'm able to add a location based reminder but cannot get it to work correctly yet. Keeps telling me to turn on wifi when I am out of my house.

Location based reminders don't work

I have tried to use Siri to take an instruction such as ' remind me when I get to 'a location' but I get the ' I can only remind you when I have a time'.
I have done the following :
Go to the place
Open G maps and select the arrow to mark the location
Click on the arrow and add / edit contacts with the location details.
However, it doesn't work.
Is there some 'trick' to make Siri understand how to understand the location after you've saved it to contacts ?
'Remind me to do something when I leave here' works fine but 'Remind me to do something when I arrive somewhere' does not.
It's like Siri doesn't know the location even after it's been saved to contacts using the G maps app.

I am partly wrong in that the iPhone 4 also supports location based reminders, but I am correct that the 3GS does not. It was supported in the initial beta builds of iOS 5 while it was going out to developers, but there were a lot of bugs with it due to some hardware limitations that prevented accurate GPS fence locations to be processed. The final build of iOS 5 does not offer support for the 3GS. I'm not just making that up. The official user guide that Apple supplies indicates it on page 95. Here's a link.

I can't set location reminders on my iphone, it says "Your calendar service, which keeps track of your reminders, doesn't allow location-based reminders"

"Your calendar service, which keeps track of your reminders, doesn't allow location-based reminders"
How do i fix this? my reminders location is on, but still cant do it....

Solution.
Since the change from google maps to apple maps. It is now necessary to go to your details in contacts, select your home address, maps appear now select by tapping on a road next to your home, a new pin appears saying dropped pin, click the arrow then add to contacts, add to existing, select yourself, then edit, delete the old home address then change the new one to read home. Do for other stored addresses. Works just fine now with siri

Location based reminders no longer working

I currently have a wifi only iPad air 2 And ever since getting this iPad I've never been able to CREATE location based reminders. Now I've owned every regular wifi only iPad's and in the past I've been able to create location based reminders so this is a change either within iOS 8 or something weird is going on with my device.
I've restored as new twice and still nothing. The issue shouldn't be related to iPad being wifi only because u can create them via the web and via an iMac or even iPod.
WIthin settings, privacy, location services I don't have reminders listed and when I go to the reminders app I dont have any option that would prompt me to allow or deny location access which seems to be the issue. For example location services doesn't show calendar either until you go into the calendar and tap on add event and tap within the location field.
Also within settings, privacy, location services, system services EVERYTHING is enabled.
In my mind the issue is that I need to be able to tap on something within reminders to prompt me for location access however I'm not seeing anything. I also have an iPhone 6 plus and have no issues creating reminders and I've also reset location settings in the reset menu. The two restores I did this week consisted of a restore with the device and a restore with iTunes.
I Can also create location based reminders on my iPad using the Workflow automation app which creates the reminder with location alert within reminders however when I go to the reminders app it doesn't show a location but when I check on my iPhone 6 plus the location shows up.
BAffled.

Yeah it's weird that I can create location based reminders via iOS Safari using desktop mode and use a third party app that syncs with reminders to create location alerts and I can create location based alerts in the calendar app but not reminders. Could have sworn in iOS 7 I could.

How to use the calendar to add events and reminders?

Since updating to the most current software, I am unable to add events or reminders to my iphone calendar. Does anyone know how to use it now? I really miss my calendar!
Thanks in advance

randers4, you saved my life!! At least my social calendar life, including all my appointments and important dates. After the last update, my + sign went away, but turning it on in the iCloud settings did the trick. Thanks for your help!!

How do I add locations to photos through iPhoto on iPad?

Hi There,
I have tried searching through the forums to find an answer to this but can't seem to find it, but apologies if I've just completely missed this and it has been covered!
My understanding is that when you want to add a location to a photo through iPhoto you need to select the 'Info' option and then just type in the location, but when I select Info there is no option to add a location, it just gives you basic information and then gives you the opportunity to comment on it. Am I just misunderstanding how you are meant to add locations or am I clicking on the wrong option?
Thanks
Sean

I believe you can add location information through iPhoto '11 on the Mac, but not using iPhoto for iOS. In other words, the iPhone/iPad version of iPhoto will display map data if it is associated with a photo already, but you cannot add that map data to photos in iPhoto for iOS.
If you want to have map data associated with photos on your iPad, you have to add the location information to the photos using the desktop version of iPhoto, then import those photos to your iPad.

How can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions, either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

Location based reminders not working in IOS8 on iphone 5s, please help?

Location based reminders are not working when using Siri since upgrading to IOS8. Asking Siri to "remind me when I get home" also turns off reminders in Location Services. Please help

I have the same issue with Siri turning off the location setting for reminders. In fact my location based reminders do not work at all. IPhone 5s, ios 8.1, upgraded to 8.1.1 and that did not fix these issues.
SEems like Apple does not test the location setting every other upgrade to iOS. They break it, then fix it then break it etc...

IPhoto allowed me to add location to photos taken by camera with no GPS. Photos doesn't have this facility. is there any way to do this?

From http://geotag.modesittsoftware.com/Photo_GeoTag/FAQs.html
1. Does Photo GeoTag work with iPhoto and Photos?
iPhoto and Photos store their image files in various undocumented locations, and they seem to store the image metadata in separate locations. If you edit an image in one of their sub-folders, iPhoto or Photos may not know about the change. Instead export the image from iPhoto or Photos, geotag it, and then import it back into iPhoto or Photos to see the geotagged location. In the future Apple may provide a means of accessing the image files directly, but for now you must geotag the photo before importing it, or if the photo is already in iPhoto or Photos, export, geotag, and then import.
So it would seem that it isn't much better than using iPhoto 9.6.1 to do the geotagging, exporting the original from that app, & importing it into Photos.

How do you set location based reminders with location restrictions turned on?

I can set location based reminders with location restrictions turned off, but I want them on. Otherwise if I lost or if somebody stole my iPhone they could just turn off the find my iPhone function. Yet if I have location services restricted to prevent this then location based reminders are unavailable. Any help would be appreciated

Add location services in the control center

To save power I go into Settings and turn on/off the all the Location Services. Is there any plans to add location services in the control center for quicker access? Or is there something already in place?

There is nothing in place. How is turning off location services saving you power? It doesn't use any unless you are using it. However, if you feel strong about it, you can make a suggestion to Apple feedback HERE and click on the appropriate link.

TS4079 problems with siri using location based reminders

When i tell siri to remind me to stop by the store when i leave work today i get a error message. The message states my calendar service does not allow me to set location based reminders. I thought this was something that siri does. Any help fixing this problem is greatlhy appreciated.

I had the same problem, after reseting the phone and restoring, it worked for a while. The root of the problem stems from using and Exchange mail account. The reminders are set to exchange tasks and it won't work for location-based reminders. The solution can be found at this link:

Location based reminders option not available on iPhone 6plus with iOS 8.1

Location based reminders option (within Reminders app) is not available. I can open the app and create a reminder based off time, but there is no option present to specify location. I have location services enabled. The Reminders app is not listed in my apps eligible to use Location services, but it's never asked... because it's not an option in the app to select.
iPhone 6plus with iOS 8.1

Try using Siri to set the reminder, something like "remind me to call mom when I leave home". It should either know or ask what "home" is and that may initiate the location services. I did confirm that location services are available on the latest OS for the iPhone plus (just checked mine).

Location based reminders aren't working in iOS7

On iOS6 I routinely set reminders to go off, "when I get home" or "when I leave work". I simply asked Siri to remind me to do something when I got home and she would. Not. Any. More. I doesn't work at all now that I have downloaded iOS7. She will tell me that she will create the reminder and she does. I can go into reminders and see that it is all set to go off at the location I have set but it simply doesn't happen. This is a huge fail as I use this feature all the time to help me be more productive. HELP!!

In iOS 7 location based Reminders no longer function unless the Reminders app is running in the background.
If I ask Siri to remind me of things when I arrive or leave a location she confirms the request by saying "Here is the reminder for when you get home, should I create it?" I then confirm and she says ,"I'll remind you". She doesn't mention that Reminders needs to be active in order to remind me.
If this is intended behavior in iOS 7 this is a major step backward in terms of intuitive functionality and ease of use. I mean, I'm asking Siri to remind me of stuff because I'm probably not going to remember to do something. Why should I have to additionally remember to have Reminders running in the background to receive a Reminder notification? Very counter intuitive.
Steps that I have taken to try and resolve issue:
• Restore as new iPhone and manually install all apps
• Make sure that Siri is accessing my correct home and office location through my contact information.
• Made sure Reminder is in my Notification Center and all notifications types are turned on in the Notification Center
• Make sure the Do Not Disturb feature is not running either manually or scheduled
• Make sure Siri is on and has "my info" correct
• Make sure Background App Refresh is on and that it is turned on for Reminders
• Make sure a sound has been selected for Reminders in the Sounds settings
• Make sure Location Services are turned on gloabally and that it is turned on for Reminders and Siri specifically.
• Make sure all System Services are turned on
• Make sure I have cell signal when I arrive at places I am supposed to be reminded at
Still doesn't work!!
