  • Siri does not uses location services

    even if the location services for siri is on, sire can not do based-location reminders

    Siri could use location reminders before the ios 6 update, i used to use them all the time based on an address in my contacts, now no longer works, is this a result of the disaster that is the maps app?

  • How do I get location services switches enabled when they are grayed out?

    In my Privacy\Location Services settings are grayed out. I don't have the option to slide them to "On." How do I get the switches activated?

    did you turn on location service first then turn it on for your apps.

  • HT1975 Dropbox does not recognize location service

  • Facetime - does it need to be switched on, on another person's device?

    I'm new to my iPad and new to Facetime. If I want to contact someone via their email address that is in as a contact, when I make the call do they have to have selected Facetime and be waiting for my call or does their device just ring and then they can select Facetime to see the call?
    With Skype I know that we both have to have Skype 'switched on' to call one another. Is this the same with Facetime?
    I'd love just be be able to call someone at any time without prior arrangement and their device ring and they just answer the call.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks.

    The other party do not have to wait for your call. There will be sound and notification on his/her screen even if they are doing something else.
    There will be a miss call message on their screen if they are asleep.

  • Does Siri need a central server?

    Today it is not possible to use Siri.
    Whenever i try to ask a question i receive the answer that there is no network. But Wifi Access is troubleless and the telephone is working fine, too.
    So i wonder what could be reason. Somebody maybe have an idea?
    Thanks in advance

    Siri links back to Apple servers.I think so many people are trying out the new Siri feature with the release of the new iphone that it's causing some issues.

  • Where does Siri get location info?  How can I get listed?

    I work at a local church and when I ask Siri about visiting the closest church Siri is way off.  It tells me the closest church is 17 miles away, when there is one next door to my house and a dozen others closer to me.  Any idea what is going on?

    Siri gets this info from Google Maps.  Contact Google.

  • App asks to have location services turned on but App does not appear in location list.

    I start the EZ Word Cheats and it starts with the menu open. I click on Quick Import and a blue box appears with the message to turn on Location services in settings. I start the settings app, click Privacy, click Location Services, but EZ Word Cheats does not appear in the list of Apps that can have Location Services turn on. Shutting the iPad off or resetting it does not help.

    I reset location services in Setting>General>Reset>Reset Location & Privacy and that fixed the problem. I need not need to restore from new. When I ran EZ Word Cheats after the resetting location services and then clicked on the Quick import under the menu, a message came up asking access to Photos instead of location services. This is the correct behavior since the program does need access to my photos but does not need Location services.

  • IMovie cannot access library without location services - Why?

    So this is the error message I get when trying to use iMovie for iPhone - "iMovie cannot access your photos or videos" "To enable access, open the settings app, tap General, then tap Location Services and then set the iMovie switch to 'On'." (pic - http://twitpic.com/2269ze ).The question is "Why?" What if I don't want my videos to include geo location data? Why does iMovie need location services to start a project? It doest make any sense to me. I understand that some of the themes may have features for using location data, but shouldn't that be at the users discretion?

    I find this rather odd as well. I keep location services turned off for the camera so why iMovie would need to access data that isn't there is beyond me. I think it's just poor programing on Apple's part. It would be just as easy to ignore any location data if you have that turned off and you happen to pick a picture or video that has it embedded.

  • Does "Location Services" always drain the battery when enabled?

    Hi,
    I've read lots of things that say if you want to save battery power, disabled "Location Services".
    I find it annoying that on the odd occasion that I want to use Location Services, say, to find an ATM near where I am, I have to go into settings and enable it, and then go back into the app I tried to use, and go and enter my search again, etc.
    Now, I understand that if my phone is actually trying to find my location, that is should use some power.
    But my question is... If I have Location Services switched on, and I am not actually using any app that is trying to find my location, does my phone actually use any more power than if Location Services is disabled?

    It does not use extra power to have Location Services enabled if you're not using the app.
    I leave Location Services on all the time and I have decent battery life.
    I agree that having location services on doesn't use battery unless an app is using it. Now none of us can say for sure about that since we don't know the software/hardware and how they talk/work and as the other poster said, powers the GPS chip. Just because the service is on, for all we know the OS only powers on the chip then "when needed"
    From looking at the "Optimize Your Settings" from http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html They say:
    Minimize use of location services: Applications that actively use location services such as Maps may reduce battery life. To disable location services, go to Settings > General > Location Services or use location services only when needed.
    While for WiFi/Bluetooth, etc they say turn off, not just minimize use of "applications" that use it. That is because WiFi and Bluetooth have to actively beacon/probe while the GPS only has to do something when requested.
    Just my two cents though.

  • TS4006 Can you remotely switch on location services from one device to another?

    I have lost my iPhone with its location services switched off so when trying to use the find my iPhone facility it does not trace it displayijng the message Location services disabled. Can any one urgently help?

    you shouldn't have to transfer the Apple Care because it is an insurance on the iPod
    No, it is not insurance.
    and since it will cover stolen iPods
    It does not cover replacement of a stolen iPod.
    if should be transfered automatically because, also in theory, it is the same iPod.
    There's no "theory" to it at all. It is the same iPod.
    AppleCare is purchased for a specific iPod. The AppleCare stays with that iPod.

  • Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    Do I need to leave location services on all the time to use the "Find my iPhone" app?

    The Find My IPhone app is used to find OTHER lost devices, it does nothing to make your device "findable".  To make it findable, you must turn on "Find My IPhone" in settings. And than you need location services on.  This however does not guarantee that you'll always find it if lost. A thief can set it to factory settings, even remove the sim card. Then it'll be unfindable.

  • Siri always using location services?

    I do not know if it is supposed to be like this but i just noticed it this morning the location services icon in the upper right is always on. I went to settings to see what was using it and it was Siri. Is this supposed to be like this? Thanks.

    Yes, Siri uses Location Services extensively.
