How does Siri know what I get "home"?

So, lets say I want to create a reminder to pick up milk when I get home. How does Siri know where "home" is, or anything else for that matter. Like, say I want to be reminded to bring my laptop in from my car when I get to work. Where do I set "work" or "home" so Siri knows?

I believe it uses your address book? I just told siri to go home and my address came up from the contact info.

How does Siri know where my office is

Ok I just got my iPhone 4s and I can't work out how to get Siri to remind me to do something when I get to the office.
How does Siri know when I'm at the office
How does Siri know I'm at home
How does Siri know I am at a particular place.
I know how to get Siri to do a reminder by using time, but the adverts say "office" so how does it know
Any help appreciated for a new 4s user :-)

Put your office location in your contacts by itself with a label of office or work. Or associate it as office or work like you do with wife and kids and such.

How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone?

How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone when sending it to them on apple care. My sleep/ wake button seems to be stuck so I sent in for a repair on the website and they sent me a apple care box and said send it back but I Carnt remember if I told them the fault or do they know by the repair ID number? Please help as I'm sending it off in a couple of day.

Include a note in the shipping box describing in detail the issue you have with the phone. Include your name, address, phone number, email, iPhone model and serial number, and a detailed explanation of the problem.

How does siri know my address?

Hi
I touched the top of my home screen, when locked, the other day and it told me how far away from home in current traffic I was.
I have never set up my home address on my phone and it linked to a contact with my name but no address. How does it know my home address?

Hi
Thanks for these, but once I deleted this contact that only was named 'Emma Darvill' with a light grey 'me' at the side it no longer knows my home. The only details under this was my email address - so I don't know how it knows where my home is.

Does anyone know what these two home screen indicators mean?

Hi, recently two home screen indicators I haven't seen before showed up, and I was wondering if anyone knows what they mean and how to get rid of them.
One is two blue semicircles pushed together with the red star in the corner, and the other is a blue box with a man in the corner. I have included a picture to try and make it cleaer, but the quality isn't the best, for which I apologise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

More than likely, those are from apps that have been recently installed. They don't look like stock BlackBerry icons to me. They might be from apps that came as part of an OS update from your carrier. Many times, carriers will tack on some extra apps to the update before releasing it. Calling Noidea and asking if this is the case would be a good place to start.
I hope my suggestions have helped you.

HT1420 how do I know what devices have home sharing/iTunes Match. I don't think I have 5 computers setup, but the system says I do.

I like to know what devices I have on home sharing and iTunes Match. Also, how do I increase may access to more than 5 devices if needed?
Thanks

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on the version twice, append the last three digits of the computer's serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= , load the page, and check the computer's maximum OS version. If that's the current version, click here and read the entire page. If not, you can't use the Mac App Store version.

How does Google know what I am searching Bing for?

How in the world do Google ads appear in Safari for items I searched Bing for?

There are some easy steps you can take to enhance your privacy on the Web.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Take an inventory of the extensions you've installed, if any. Some Safari extensions are adware or spyware. Read the privacy policies or terms of use carefully. Remove any that you don't really need or aren't sure about.
One extension that you may want to install is called "Ghostery." It blocks many tracking cookies. But there are reports that it sometimes causes Safari to crash. I use it and have had no problems.
If you've installed any ad-supported hacks such as "Glims" that modify Safari, uninstall them according to the developer's instructions. Doing so will enhance the stability of Safari, as well as your privacy.
In the Safari preferences dialog, select the Privacy tab. You have the option to remove data, such as cookies, stored on your computer by web servers. You can remove all such data, or remove only some of it by clicking the Details button. The other settings are pretty much self-explanatory.
On a more advanced level, you can change the DNS servers used by your computer, or your router, to look up the addresses of all Internet servers that you use. In general, the best choice from the standpoint of privacy is to use your ISP's DNS servers. Your Internet traffic goes through your ISP's network anyway, so in theory there's no loss of privacy in using its DNS servers. Avoid third-party DNS services such as "OpenDNS," which is in the business of selling information about you to marketers.
Consider using ad-blocking software such as "GlimmerBlocker," which also blocks some forms of JavaScript abuse that can be used to track you. It's only suitable for advanced users, and it may block some web content that you want to see.
When using a public network such as a Wi-Fi hotspot, keep in mind that others connected to the same network may be able to eavesdrop on your network traffic. They won't be able to read the contents of that traffic if you connect to secure websites such as this one, but they will know the addresses of the sites. The same goes for email and messaging. Some public VPN services market themselves as a solution to this problem, but using those services may have serious security and privacy implications.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I have a macbook from early 2008, and when I sign onto safari I get an error message for fast browser search plugin. After that error comes up my computer freezes and I have to force it to shut down. Does anyone know what that means and how I can fix it

Means you have an incompatible Safari extension installed. Look in the /Home/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder for the offending plug-in and delete it.

Windows drivers for Intel wireless cards are known problematic.. If you have plenty of signal and it still cannot keep or hold the connection the issue can simply be the type of wireless.
Another problem is using names that windows does not easily handle.
eg If you set the TC using apple names, like
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule wireless24ad12
Then to windows this is too long.. it has spaces and it has illegal character.
Change all names on the TC to suit windows. Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Also security must be suitable.. I have no idea how old or what OS your dell is, but if you still have issues.. pull off the security on the TC for a test.. if the computer suddenly works, it is not compatible with WPA2 AES. Make sure you also use a password that is mix upper and lower case plus numbers.. avoid special characters and make it 10-20 characters long say.. it is not required to be more than that unless you are paranoid.

You have enabled the TTY function. To turn it off, go to Settings - Phone - TTY = Off.

I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks for providing the model information.
I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
Please post back your results.
