Can't turn on reminder at a location with location services restriction.

I think I may have found a bug, or at least unintended functionality.
I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.  When I turn on location restrictions (Settings > General > Restrictions > Location > Don't Allow Changes -- note that in this list Reminders is set to ON, which means that location services is ENABLED for this app), then create a new reminder in the reminders app, then try to have it remind me at a location, the "At a Location" switch is disabled, not allowing me to create a reminder with a geofence alert.
When I change the setting to "Allow Changes", the "At a location" switch in Reminders is re-enabled.
Interesting thing is that it works just fine if I create a reminder at a location using Siri.
I'd like to be able to keep the "Don't Allow Changes" restriction on as, if my phone is stolen, I don't want people to be able to turn off location services, thus blocking Find My iPhone.
Anyone else can reproduce/confirmt hat this is a bug?

Hate to burst your bubble here, but all a thief has to do is turn your phone off to defeat "Find My Phone". This is common knowledge. Once turned off, a quick restore in iTunes & then listed on eBay or Graigslist.

    You sould be able to sync both ways.  Check your default calendar on your phone by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the calendars section to Default Calendar.  Check to be sure you have selected your mac calendar as your default (and not, for example, On My iPhone).  Then enter a new event on your phone and sync to confirm that it appears on your mac.

  • Hp photosmart 7520 - can fax, get calls but not receive fax with bundoed service and wireless router

    I finally got the printer set up to my wireless router and am able to fax and receive calls but now I can't send a fax.
    I have a bundled service phone, internet and cabl;e with voice mail.
    I have reduced the number of rings to 2 and turned off automatic answer.  ready to pull my hair out!!
    HP tech service was no help and neither was the cable company.  Got this far on my own but hit a wall!
    any thoughts?

    Hello @mull274 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are running into fax issues.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend this document on Fax Sending Fails Intermittently.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Can you turn off the "Charging not supported with this device" messages?

    I recently bought a standard dock extender cable in order to connect my iPad to my Apple HiFi and have had music from Pandora constantly interrupted by sporadic "Charging not supported with this device" messages. The messages will continue to come up repeatedly despite pressing the "Dismiss" bar repeatedly.
    Is there a way to turn those kinds of warnings off in either iPad Settings or in iTunes when docking the iPad?

    Try connecting the iPad to the iPod Hi-Fi with a male to male mini-stereo cable. I use one of these cables to connect my Airport Express to my iPod Hi-Fi, so that I can use it with AirTunes.
    You can even combine the cable with the Apple iPad Dock, which would let you charge the iPad while using it with the iPod Hi-Fi.

  • I just bought the new ipad for my dad, he is in china now. after useing three weeks , he can not turn it , it shows no copy with in two weeks

    the new ipad shows no copys with two weeks, so now can not get in

    Has he tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - he won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hi there
    It could be that this particular file has some corruption. It could also simply be that the number of objects in the file is somewhat taxing your PC resources.
    You might try what is outlined in the link below and see if it helps anything.

  • T40/Vista: Fn+F5 can't turn Wifi On/Of

    After upgrading to Vista on my T40 (2373-92G) I can't turn the wireless antenna on/of with the Fn-F5 keys.
    It only toggles the Blutooth on/off.
    How can I restore this function?

    >you need the Access Connection software
    Unfortunately I've found this info:
    "Dual-band Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI Adapters and 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters are not supported by ThinkVantage Access Connections on systems running Microsoft Windows Vista."
    So I can't use ThinkVantage Access Connections.
    I've now installed an update of the HotKey driver for Vista (2.08.2008).
    It now seem to work just as it should for Bluetooth, but reports that Wireless is OFF even when it's on, and trying to turn it on hangs the program/driver...
    Suggestions?

  • Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out!

    Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out! Is there any way that someone could be turning "find my iPhone" on remotely? I was under the assumption that the only way to turn the service on was from my phone itself.. Is there any way that my phone is somehow resetting itself to a time when the app was turned on? I'm just grabbing straws here... I have no idea. I just know that the location arrow came on at the top of my phone, and it showed that someone was tracking my phone at that very moment... Any help would be appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Find my phone can only be enabled from the device itself.

  • TS4006 How can I turn on my device so I can locate my stolen I Phone??? And if not; how can I pettition APPLE that there is a defect in "Find My I Phone". If its stolen do I need device to be on in order to find????

    How can I turn on my device remotely so I can locate my stolen I Phone???
    And if there is a way but I just don't know then educate me please!!!!
    And if not then how can I petition APPLE that there is a defect in "Find My I Phone".
    If its stolen I should not need device to be on in order to find unless I can turn on remotely!!!!
    Also another defect is that if the device is locked with a code then it should be really locked......
    Why is it that you can still use buttons??????........
    You should not be able to turn off unless you have the code!!!!!!
    And with that defect corrected imagine how safe it would make the consumers if everyone knew that if a phone was locked, it was really locked!!!
    Everyone would be able to find their phones and nobody could stop them from them finding their phones!!!!!
    PROBLEMS SOLVED!!!!!! NOBODY'S I PHONE WOULD EVER BE STOLEN!!!!!!
    Does anyone know can you turn on remotely??????

    You cannot turn it on remotely. Griping and complaining won't make it any better.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • I have upgraded my iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and I can´t turn on location services. I have already twice restored the instalation of iOS 7 but no change. This should be the improvement of the apple software? Has anybody similar problem?

    I have upgraded my iPhone 5 with iOS7 and I can´t turn on location services. I have already restored the instalation of oOS 7 twice but no change. This should be the improvement of apple software? Does anybody have similar problem? Do you know how to solve it?

    A workaround is to reinstall lazy apps, mostly for those that were restored but don't appear on notification center, eg. Whatsapp. In my case I have more than 500 apps installed.
    We need a correct solution for this problem.
    I also had this problem on the past moving from 4s to 5.
    And now from 5 to 5s.
    The only notifications working after restore in my iPhone are those from Facebook.
