Reminders is a useless app on iOS 5

i tried using Apple made Reminders app bundled in iOS5. When i try to add location, it makes me take either the current location or some address(if i stored one such) in the Contacts book. How do i know all the addresses that i will be using in future? How did this escape the engineer who wrote code for this App? There are options for choosing a location when we arrive or start. One option is the current location. The second option is the 'Choose Address'. When i click it, it opens the address book and simply asks me to choose the phone book addresses. So do i have to feed all the POI in the world into my address book to be able to enter the destination address so i can get a reminder when i reach there? Or is something horribly missing in my copy of iOS?
Please help me solve it. i have so many things to do with this Reminder App but havent been able to do a single thing so far.

It is also on the iPhone.

  • No Apps post IOS 6 upgrade

    I updated my iPad2 to IOS6 and now I cannot update from the App Store. I have tried the proposed fix of turning off automatic updates on the time etc, but that has not worried. I also tried to sign out and sign in again but now I cannot sign in.

    It's not useless, and obviously ios 6 isn't supposed to be working like that. Now that you have a backup you can restore from it as many times as you need to, THAT"S the usefulness.
    Try resetting your device to factory settings, maybe it's a setting issue. If that doesn't work try restoring to factory settings, then to restore from your backup. If it still does not work right after that, then maybe there is a glitch with your backup and you should just delete your backup and restore the device to factory again.
    or you could just delete the apps and try downloading again brefore you try all that.

  • Can't download apps with ios 4.2.1

    I have an Ipod touch 8gb which I purchased in early 2010.  The software won't update past ios 4.2.1 which I understand is the newest software I can get on this Ipod.  My question is are there any apps that are "kid friendly" which will run using this version of software? Every app I've tried to download won't because the software version isn't high enough.  This Ipod is seeming to be useless so I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong. Please help.

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • QuickCast - no correspond​ing app for iOS or Android?

    Lenovo QuickCast shipps with new Thinkpad's but seems to be completely non-functional. I can't find any corresponding app for iOS or Android devices.

    Thanks for your confirmation that this app is useless! 
    You Lenovo should try more.
    Better is to use iDisplay (works either on iOS and Android) - so! Lenovo you don't need to make the mobile versions. We already can have it!
    Thanks once more!

  • AIO REMOTE app on IOS

    I use the AiO Remote app on IOS to scan legal size documents.  I think my problem is with the latest update of this app as I never had this issue in the past.  I scan the multi-page LEGAL size doc with no issues.  I see the doc pages in legal size format in the app.  Once I click on SAVE, all of a sudden the app shrinks the legal size to fit letter size.  I can't find how to disable this.  Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Ios 6 music app on ios 7 (to fix genre issue)

    I am no longer able to drill down from genre to artists songs in the genre and their albums with songs in that genre.  Apple has told me that is by design.  So I have lost that ability and some others here have said the same thing.
    Is there a way to find and use the ios 6 music app under ios 7 somehow?  Else, I need to find a 3rd party app that will play the existing music (I don't want to download anything outside of itunes) and allow me to drill down from genre as ios 6's music app allowed me to do.
    Any suggestions (incl. possible apps if I can't use ios 6 music app)?

    I use, by the way, the windows app Tag & Rename.  Have been using it for years and highly recommend it if you are on the windows platform.  In order to get things to work properly I had to change tags in two ways for ios 7: (1) copy all my artist fields to album artists fields and (2) (unfortunately) pull out the data in the year field (which I moved to the comment field) since ios 7 now sorts by the year field as well.
    That got the ios 7 music player to final list the stuff properly - at least as I drilled down from genre.  Still, the interface was at a minimum "wanting".  I found an inexpensive (not free) app - I think it was something like $3.99.  It was written and supported by two programmers - a 18 and 21 year old.  Still the interface is relatively clean and the gestures once learned make things easy to find out and change with a single finger - check it out: "Ecoute".  It does the job for me much better then ios 7's.
    My only complaint is since I do not have album art or any other art associated with music as I am a composer and write my own material - I end up with 5 rows and 3 columns of icons with default icons.  But even that has an 'option' as you can get a textual list by taping on the top.  If you are at genres and the artist is showing, tapping on the top will list all the tracks in alphabetical order with times for that artist. If the albums are showing in the screen - tapping on the artist on the top will display all the tracks in alphabetical order with a line below them describing the album name.  And when you tap just on the album icon, you get just a list of the tracks.
    Some other cool tapping and swiping actions....  easy to learn...

  • Eos remote app for iOS

    The idea was great, however the development seems to be stopped on this.
    It hasn't been updated since Dec of last year.
    Will there be a new version of EOS Remote app for iOS?
    Features I'd like to see from the upgrade (if there's any)
    1) Full size image transfer
    2) Video file transfer
    3) Indicate if a file is already downloaded to the phone or not.
    Thanks,

    Hi rmpark!
    Thanks for posting.
    The EOS Remote App currently works with up to iOS version 7.  I am not sure if or when the next version of the app will be released, or what features will be added to it, but I have forwarded your suggestions along.  This feedback is very important to Canon.  Please continue to check in the app store from time to time for any updated versions that may be released.

  • HT4623 my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader it keeps on saying this app requires ios something.

    my ipod doesnt let me download any kind of music downloader or any thing like subway surfer games it keeps on saying something like this app needs ios something.

    Then your ipod would need ios something in order to use the apps.
    If your iphone is compatible then update the ios version.  Otherwise, you cannot use the apps.

  • Problem with Timer in Clock app in IOS 8

    I've noticed an interesting change, a bug I suspect, in the Timer part of the Clock app in IOS 8. If I set a timer for say, 5 min, and I happen to check the timer before the alarm sounds, so it is showing on the iPhone, the alarm goes off, But I cannot stop it, cancel it, whatever. I have to go back to the home screen to tap done. This wasn't the behavior before. I suspect is shouldn't be now. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

    I have a reproducible bug with the alarm in iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 5. If the alarm goes off when the phone is sleeping I normally can silence in 3 ways: 1) use "tap to stop" on lock screen; 2) use power button to return to sleep mode; 3) use vibrate switch to turn ringer off. However, if I inadvertently swipe down to access notifications when the alarm is going off, when I return to lock screen the alarm can no longer be silenced by 1 & 2 listed above (only 3 will work). Powering off will also work, although I have read here that some are having the alarm remain on even after reboot. I can reproduce this problem as often as I attempt.

  • Is ther a way to quickly delete whole albums in the music app in iOS 7?

    I often download new music and need to remove old music to make space.  I use Match, so I almost never sync with a computer these days, and even when I do I don't manage my music that way.  The music app in iOS 7 seems to have no way to delete albums, just individual songs.  This is very tedious when I want to remove one album and replace it with another album.  Happily, I can still download a whole album with one tap.  Has anyone found the secret to deleting albums?

    it looks like they took out the "Show" option under Mail settings completely and added a Flag choice instead. Don't know why.

  • How to remove apps in iOS 5?

    How to remove apps in iOS 5? I press and hold an Icon like would in iOS4 it starts shaking but x mark does not appear to delete.

    @ Artakv
    Check that you haven't enabled Restrictions, you can turn toggle the ability to delete apps through there.
    Goto:
    Settings
    General
    Restrictions
    Enter your Restrictions Passcode
    Scroll down and check to see if Deleting Apps has been enabled (On - so can delete) or disabled (Off - so CAN'T delete).

  • How to change the name of a moments in photos app in iOS 7?

    I think you can't change the name I the moments. It's grouped by the iOS. You can choose photos and create albums though.

  • How do I enable the passbook app in ios 6.  Nothing happens when I click on it.

    how do I enable the passbook app in ios 6?  Nothing happens when I click on it.

    Yes, you do need an antivirus app for iOS. However, they don't currently exist because Apple refuses to make their 'proprietary' technical OS specifics freely available as open source code or to any Antivirus companies, who could examine and potentially identify security holes. Many security problems have been identified by Apple and fixed as part of iOS updates in the past (details are readily available in the iOS update information) and this will likely be a bigger problem in the future as malware authors move toward the technology leader as a target. But right now you can't get an antivirus app for iOS which scans the iOS device wholesale. This is despite the fact that (legitimate) apps are available which can take control of the entire device, install apps, wipe them or the device, view information, etc (for example Sophos Mobile Control). SMC can be installed by tapping an email link to a website and then tapping 'OK' to a couple of dialogues.
