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).

  • Why don't I have location-based reminder capability on my Verizon iPhone 4 w/iOS 5.0.1?

    I updated my Verizon iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 and I do not have the location-based reminder feature. I have followed the process to create a location-based reminder but do not see the option when I get to the "Remind Me" screen. Is the problem related to Verizon? Or have I overlooked something in settings?

    Location based Reminders only work with lists in your iCloud Reminders account. Make sure you’ve enabled iCloud and iCloud Reminders sync first.

  • Wifi sync not working on iPhone 5s with iOS 8.0.2

    I have an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.0.2, and iTunes 12.0.1.26. Sync via wifi doesn't work (with one partial exception[1]). USB sync works fine, but when the phone isn't physically connected via a USB cable, iTunes doesn't know it exists. On the phone, in Settings/iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, "Sync Now" is disabled and it says "Sync will resume when '[my computer name]' is available". It's got the correct computer name.
    In the online help, I find the following claim:
    When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes.
    In my case, the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, and the iOS device does not appear in iTunes. I had a previous iPhone 5S which was able to sync via wifi to the same desktop computer on the same network. That one may have been iOS 7 (I can't check because it tried to learn to swim).
    The checkbox in "Summary" is checked:
    I tried unchecking it, applying, checking again, and applying again. I then restarted both iTunes and the phone.
    [1] Partial Exception: I found an "answer" on here where you turn off three different random features on the iPhone, turn them back on, reboot the iPhone and the computer, and then WiFi sync does actually works -- exactly once. Now it's disabled again. All that fussing around was enormously more hassle than just finding a USB cable; if I wanted to spend half an hour performing 10-second tasks I'd have bought another Motorola product.
    Is there a solution that works permanently, or do we just wait for a fix in a future OS revision?

    On your iPhone 4S go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Click on Wi-Fi to both disable and enable it. If you are still unable to enable this setting it may be possible that the iOS7 update did not take properly.

  • How can I sort Notes, alphabetically, on iPhone 4s with IOS 8?

    How can I sort Notes, alphabetically, on Phone 4s with IOS 8?
    I just got iCloud setup and am synching between icloud and iphone.  I have loaded some notes to convert over from blackberry.
    So how can I sort Notes alphabetically on iPhone??
    Was easy to do on blackberry and but I can't figure out how to do that on iPHone
    What am I missing?

    Notes are sorted by the time on the iPhone. There is no way to re-sort them.

  • Invitees option not available in new events with Exchange activesync cal

    I have an Iphone running OS 3.1 and a Google apps calendar that supports Exchange Active Sync.
    I have setup a calendar account as Exchange Active Sync on my iphone and put in the google mobile sync server address (m.google.com).
    When I create a new event on the iphone I do not see the option for invitees to invite others to my meeting.
    I know this works because other people in my office have this same setup and can sync and send meetings via our corporate google calendar app.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi there!
        It sounds like you're having a more complicated problem than I was, but just in case anyone out there is in the same boat, here's the solution (which I wasn't able to find in any forums thus far) to a simple problem I was having.
    If you're using a single email account with iOS 7 on a device like an iPad 2, you've hit the cancel button on an email and selected "Save Drafts," but later realized that you're unable to find the draft folder anywhere, then the fix is actually pretty simple. All you have to do is open your email account,  hit the "Mailboxes" tab in the top left corner, tap the "Edit" button (to the right of the "Mailboxes" header), select "Add Mailbox" from the first section, and then just tap "Drafts" and "Done."
        Afterwards, just go to your Mailboxes tab and you should see the draft folder listed, in which will be whatever drafts you've saved so far.
    Hope that's helpful! :)

  • Reminders notifications not working on iPhone 4s running ios 8.1.1

    Help!
    Suddenly reminder notifications are not working on my iPhone 4s running ios 8.1.1. Have tried restarting phone, turning off notifications and then turning back on again etc to no avail.
    Can anyone help or does anyone know an alternative app that might do the trick.
    Thanks in advance.

    Had this resolved by a very nice Apple bod. I ended up doing a full factory reset again. It worked this time as there is now ios 8.1.2
    Hope this works for you.......

  • HT5595 Reduce Motion option not available on iPhone 4

    I have gone to Settings>General>Accessibility, but "Reduce Motion" is not there??

    That's because the 4 doesn't support the motion effects that option reduces to begin with. There is nothing to reduce.

  • Spotlight does not work on iphone 6 with ios 8.1.2

    Since a few weeks the spotlight search does not work anymore on my iphone. I tried removing all subjects in the setiings menu and adding them again.

    No, it should work with the iPad. It's not a matter of what version of iOS is on the device.
    The card reader has never been compatible with any iPhone. It is compatible with iPads.

  • Screen not rotating on iPhone 6 with iOS 8

    The screen is not rotating even though rotation is enabled and it is in standard view. This happens with all apps both Apple and third party.

    I have the same issue too. It's intermittent and can sometimes be fixed by turning the iPhone off then on again. Some of my photos are up the wrong way because the camera app didn't rotate to landscape mode when taking the photo. My wife has a 6 too with nil issues.
    I rang Apple who said to restore the iPhone to see how that goes but I haven't had the time yet.
    Would like to hear from anyone who had this issue and fixed it.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Siri keeps telling me "your calendar does not support location-based reminders" when I ask her to remind me to feed the cat when I get home. My address is in contacts and it has worked previously. Did iOS 8 change something?

    calendar does not support location-based reminders....
    i Just found a similar question below and it resolved my issue. Turn off the sync to exchange email and all works fine now.

    Couldn't agree more.  I've been *trying* to use location reminders ever since buying my iPhone 4S but as yet, out of many, many attempts they've only actually worked once.
    The kid problem is very simple, the way the phone needs the location to be an address in your address book, and it's subsequent inability to correctly locate the address. My home address is a correct postal address, and has been unchanged for 40+ years, yet clicking on my address from my own contact entry puts my location some distance down my street.
    Whilst I understand the issue with the address lookup, it seems to be a massive problem with the location based reminders as it's just not possible to set useful reminders.
    What if I want to remind myself of something when I arrive at the car park on a shopping trip?  There is no address for that in my contacts, I just want to pinpoint the location on the maps and say 'remind me when I get there'.  Surely that's the simplest my far.  Same with address book contacts, if you had a field with the gps position in then one could tag the locations and know they were 100% accurate for location services.
    Such a shame as it's one of the key reasons I upgraded my phone and as it stands it just plain doesn't work.
