Reminder app - remind me when i get home doesnt work?

In the commercial for iPhone 4S, it shows the new app “reminder” in use. Where you can make it remind you when you ie. come home. I have a 3Gs, however I don’t seem to be able to get this function to work. (And yes, I have activated it in “settings"). Is this just a 4S function? or??

I am not sure if this works on the 3gs, but it certainly does on the 4 so I don't see why it shouldn't.
Just go into Reminders, setup a new one and click Remind Me. You should then get the option to choose where you are reminded.. for example, remind me when I arrive home or remind me when I leave work.
It may be worth checking you have a home and work address configured if required.

  • Firefox crashes once daily, and I find it when I get home from work. Every day.

    As the title says, Firefox crashes exactly once per day. I always find it when I come home from work, which can be anywhere from 8 to 10 PM. It is every single day, not just occasional. More specifically, the Firefox window is missing and all that remains is the generic "Visual C++ Runtime Library" crash box.
    My system is a fairly new machine. I just built it earlier this year.
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 black edition (quad core overclocked from 3.2 to 4.1 GHz)
    Motherboard: Asus M4A785-M
    RAM: 3 GB DDR2
    Video: Zotac GeForce 9800 GT
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (dual boot with Debian Lenny, but the crash is just in Windows)
    I know the first thing that stands out there is that overclock, but it's unrelated. I suspected it causing an issue at first, so I ran it at stock specs for 3 days. It still crashed Firefox daily. I believe the system itself is quite stable, I never have problems with other software. My FF version is up to date, although it's been doing this for the past 3 or 4 releases. The only add-ons I have installed are DownloadHelper and Flash Player, but it still crashes if I disable them.
    This one's got me kind of stumped. Does anybody have any clue what could be triggering this? It doesn't matter what tabs I have open either, in case anybody was wondering. One day, just to test that I closed Firefox before I left in the morning, then opened it back up with only one tab: google.com ....... still crashed by the time I got back home.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Internet Speed slowed to 56k when i get home from work.

    From 6pm pacific to 11 pm every night my internet is very erratic. going from 0-1mbps. When i use the tech support they always accelerate the issue and tell me i will get a call from someone else. Everytime i tell the tech support they have to call me after 6pm pacific time. The tech say ok they will call me after 6pm. I then about a week later have always gotten a call back at 3 pm during my work hours. Then they tell me there is nothing wrong with my internet its looking fine. I cant talk to them because im at work and tell them to call me back after 6. They usually say ok and i dont get a call back. WHen the tech support do there scripted testing it always shows im getting the right amount of speed but im still getting a download speed thats compatible to 56k.

  • 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.

  • Does anyone know the magic steps to Remind Me When I Leave Home?

    Does anyone know the magic steps to Remind Me When I Leave Home?
    I cannot get the Reminders for Location to work. Is this due to Apple's braindead maps?

    electronicsguy wrote: what do you not get exactly? you need to set the options in reminder with geolocation and have the gps on. it will then setup a geo-fence with the non-filled arrow icon in the status bar. do you do all this and it still doesnt work?
    My maps has a blue dot that moves with me (along through the houses rather than the road), so I am sure GPS is "working"
    Geo-fence? Status bar arrow? what are you talking about?
    I set a reminder for when I leave my home address, and the reminder never happens. I think this is because Apple thinks my home address is somewhere else, and I am not "in it" to begin with, so can't leave it. Duhhhhh...
    I never had a problem with iOS5 and Google-maps-data, so it must be the Apple braindamaged maps.
    I used to work for Nokia maps in a joint venture, and maps are VERY hard to do well. Apple arrogance there, I suspect.

    Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
    I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it  with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

    Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts.  It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

    When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

    Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

    Any ideas?

    Fascinating just reading about your setup. I have a WRT350N and have noticed that it will drop its speed, sometimes down to 1Mbps. It seems to do so at about the same time every day, but usually comes back to speed in about 5 minutes. In my experience, the Apple TV will disconnect if the speed falls this low. Try monitoring the Linksys with Netstumbler, Vistumbler, or just in the Windows Network utility.
    Check the "lease obtained" and "lease expired" times for your router to see if that is when the network fails. I've just finished reading an angry thread over at the Linksys forum about the WRT330N where someone mentioned that the router wasn't renewing its lease.
    "I cannot set it run off automatic DHCP from the WRT330N, the router will not assign it an IP every time the lease expires, causing me to have to manually set an IP on the Print server. That's annoying. Having the router drop IP's to individual machines after 12-48 hours...very annoying."
    http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread .id=67412
    If that is the problem, then I would consider setting up a Static IP address for your Apple TV. You can do that through the user interface -> Settings -> Network -> Configure ... (Quite intuitive as you only have change IP address and the subsequent details remain the same.)
    My router assigns IP Addresses in the ranges of 192.168.1.100 ->149. The idea here is to choose an address outside of that range but is not greater than 192.168.1.253 (and should not end in the number 1). You shouldn't have to change the linksys router as long as 50 clients are assigned in that range. You'll have to figure that out by accessing your router webpage at browser address 192.168.1.1 -> the default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
    Good luck.

    just sits there and doesn't respond.  It is very very important that I get this app to work today!!!  Help.

    These are apps for the iphone/ipod/ipad.
    They do not work on your computer.
    You need to sync them to your iphone/ipod touch/ipad and use them from there.
