Location-based reminder mixes-up my contact info when selecting "home" on the first reminder to a friend's home

When I set my first location-based reminder, I set it to arrive at a friend's house. However, now the Reminders app thinks that my friend's place is my "home." His home, work, etc numbers all appear as the default entries, thinking they are my addresses when creating a new reminder. Furthermore, suddenly his picture was tied to my account, even on my computer when logging into iCloud!
I looked everywhere and could not find this issue reported.
Is there any way I can change it so that my home actually is my home, the default locations are my locations, and my picture is my real picture?
And most importantly, if it cannot be fixed, given that my friend's picture and addresses are now tied to my info, is there anything else that is now mixed-up in my iPhone/iCloud account and contact info?
Thanks much for your help!

EDIT: I think I fixed this issue ( ! ) doing the following:
I deleted every reminder from my phone
Next I turned off Reminders under my iCloud settings. (On the iPhone under Settings->iCloud)
When prompted, I selected to delete local reminders on my iPhone that were formerly synced.
Next I turned the Reminders back on.
Now I re-entered the Reminders app, and created a new reminder.
This time I made sure to set my home as the location.
Once saved, all further location-based reminders correctly identify my home/work/etc...and now my friend's home is added as a "Custom Location"
Did this fully fix the issue? ...Hopefully this will help others that may see this problem....

Also try the info in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16350173#16350173
There is a new "My Info" part in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section. Make sure your contact info has been selected and then Reminders will default to both your home and work addresses.

How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers? Until very recently
it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

When I merged my iPhone and iPad contact info., I lost all of the names that my messages were posted under. All conversations are now posted under phone numbers.

When setting up some iCloud info., agreed to merge iPhone and iPad contact info., and now most of my iPhone messages are listed by phone numbers, rather than by the person's name. Some of the names eventually showed up, but not many, and most of those now have the husband and wife's name together or just the family name (Millers, Smiths, etc.).

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.

Can I retrieve contact info from a database without the BlackBerry

Here's my story---a couple of weeks ago, I dropped my Pearl 8130 into a big cup of water. After it miraculously came back to life, I decided it was high time to BACKUP my contact info... so I used desktop manager version 4.3.0.17 to do so... I only clicked on 'Addresses' which I assumed meant contacts. I kid you not---the VERY NEXT DAY, my poor BlackBerry went into the pool with me. Now, despite the fact that I just mentioned having gone swimming, I actually do not lead a lavish lifestyle... I live in the desert, and I needed to get my poor, overheated toddler into the pool asap. I do have cell phone insurance, but I don't have the $50 deductible to get a new BlackBerry. I am using a used Casio G'zOne Boulder right now. I had SO much contact info though, that I need. So, here is my question. Is there a way to convert the database (IPD File) info I saved into a word document, or some other readable form so I can obtain all my contacts?
Thank you in advance,
Crystal

Crystal, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Yes, google search for ABC Amber IPD Converter, and use that. It's not free, but the the trial software will handle limited number of records.
If you end up getting a new BlackBerry, you can restore that backup IPD file to your new device.

IOS7 update deletes my contact info when I send a text, why?

Since the IOS7 update I have been losing my contact info (Most recent saved numbers within 2-3 months) when I send a text message and when they respond it comes back as a blank number and no name. I send goup text quite often and I have to go to to that numbered text to see who it is. I have discussed this with several family members that has a I4 phone and I5 phone and they are experiencing the same thing. It is very annoying that I am ready to turn this phone in. I powered the phone off and did the home button and power button to reboot and still experiencing the same problems. Please help!!

I found the problem. If you set your text alert tone to none. The phone will not make a message sent sound. I set it to Tritone and it started make the sound again.

Problem: software changes my Outlook contact info when synchronizing (cuts off part of first name)

When I sync, the BB software cuts off part of the first name of my Outlook contacts. The problem seems to happen when I have a space in the first name (eg: First Name - Bill & Jane). I have several of my contacts listed that way so I can see spouses of contacts easily. I have never had this problem before with my other MS Op phone. Thanks for your help.
Message Edited by friedchicken on 01-05-2009 01:23 AM

I found out what happens.
Wherever the First Name filed on the BB contains a Blank (or Space) character, when synchronizing to MS Outlook, the content of the field is divided in two parts: the first part, before the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook First Name field, the second part, after the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook Middle Name field.
This goes beyond the useser's intentions and is a nuisance, becuase you can of course turn around the problem after synchronization, by exporting the MS Outlook contacts to MS Access, or MS Excel, put the two fields together, and reimport them into MS Outlook. But you need to do that each time yoy synchronize.
It would be nice if RIM could fix the issue.

In the middle of using wi-fi on my MacBook Pro, I lost contact. No other apple devices (iMac, iPhone or iPad) are affected. When I click on the empty wi-fi icon (top right of the screen) it gives the message: Wi-Fi: No hardware installed. has anyone any clues?

Unfortunately, this message is almost always an indication that the internal AirPort card on the Mac has failed and will need to be replaced. This is a job for repair shop.

How do I transfer my contact info from my email on the computer to my Ipad?

How do I transfer my conatcts from my computer to my Ipad? I need simple instructions as I am a neophyte.

Connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes. Highlight the iPad on the pane on the left side. Then choose the Apps tab. Your choices will appear different than mine because I have a Mac. Also, my sync box is not checked because I use iCloud and a checked box here will give me duplicates.

In attempting to sync my Outlook Contacts to my new iphone 5,in iTunes, Outlook shows in the drop-down box, but it does not allow click-on. Individual items are not listed to click on. The only listing is my email address and when you sync it, it really does not sync, it adds another email account with the same name, and no contacts sync with it.

also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use and I should retry.
If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy.

Location-based w/o having to make each item location-based?

Hi, I know how to make an entry on a reminder list location-based, but can you tell me how to set an entire reminder list to be location-based (if that's possible). In other words, can I make a reminder list called "Costco" and set it so that every item on the list (essentially the whole list) pops up when I enter the Costco store?
I have only been able to do this by setting each entry on the list as a location-based reminder, but I would like to set the entire list- and every item on it- to pop up when I enter that geo-fence.

You can let Apple know your thoughts by going to www.apple.com/feedback. You can supply feedback there regarding enhancements you would like to see. They do not respond to your posts, but they do review them there.

Location based reminders don't trigger when screen is locked

I've tried using location based reminders a handful of times since installing iOS 5. The one thing I've noticed about them (other than the battery drain), is that they don't work when the phone is in standby (i.e. screen is off). Unlike time based reminders which will sound even when the phone is in standby. Location based reminders will only remind you after you unlock the screen.
Here's an example based on a reminder I set today:
1. I set a reminder to remind me to vote when I left my house.
2. I left my house and drove about a 1/2 mile, all the while looking at my phone to see if the reminder triggered.
3. Eventually I decided to press the home button and unlock the screen. The moment I did so the reminder popped up.
Basically if I hadn't "remembered" about the reminder and unlocked the screen, I wouldn't get reminded until the next time I used my iPhone which could have been hours later. I'd think considering the battery drain and constant use of GPS that it should remind me shortly after leaving my house.
Is this the way reminders are supposed to work?

In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.
The Reminders app needs to be running in the foreground or to be put in the background for location-based reminders to work.
This is not a bug. This is intended behavior.

How to send location based push notification

How to send notification from website to the devices in particular latitude and longitude

I assume you mean you want the backend to send push notifications to a group of devices based on their geographical location?
In that case each device needs to register at startup with the notification service (Windows, Apple, Android, etc.), and get a handle, then register the information (along with its unique identification, such as account or phone number) with
Azure's notification hub. It also has to send its geographical location and the backend needs to keep this information somewhere (in a table, for example). The device needs to periodically update the backend for its new location. When the backend has the need
to send push notifications based on device's geographical location (based on a rectangular grid for example), then it has all the information to do it.

I had to replace my i4s with another one from the apple store.shouldn't i be able to go to the cloud to get all my contact info and other stuff that was stored in the cloud from the first phone?

i had to replace my i4s phone with another one from the apple store. i need to download all my contact info and other stuff from the cloud to my new phone.i see a screen that says RESTORE I PHONE and are you sure you want to restore the iphone to its facory settings? all of your media and other data will be erased. they i tunes will verify restore with apple. After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:
