Siri and reminders Lists

Can you add a new reminder within a specific list, or ask Siri to show you reminders within a specified list? I have a List called 'work' with items in it. When I ask Siri "Show me my Work Reminders" show says there are no reminders for work. Anyone had any luck? Seems dumb to have lists, but yet not let Siri work with them.

Say "show work reminders" (Actually, after writing this, I tried saying "show me my work reminders" again and it showed me that particular list as you would want. It must be learning.)
Also this is the syntax i used to attach a reminder time:
"Add <listname> reminder to <do whatever> <remind time>"
For example, "add work reminder to close old cases on Friday"

Siri and contacts list

In the interest of improving Siri's accuracy when it comes to finding one of my contacts, is there any way of focussing its attention down to just one group in my address book. I have two groups - "people I call" and "everyone". Everyone includes archived entries but also things and organisations that I have no need to call. However if I ask Siri to call someone it looks globally. There is also "favorites" - how does this play into things, e.g. is there some algorithm in Siri that says "if I'm not sure of a match I'll show a preference to favorite entries".

Talked to AppleCare for about an hour. After trying many steps: deleting contacts, re downloading from cloud, disabling Siri and re enabling, even Reset all Settings. Nothing worked. Ended up having to restore the phone via Erase All Content and Settings. That of course fixed it.
Not sure what the issue was. I did have a Mobile Me account before the iCloud migration. For some reason, my contacts would appear in Contacts on the phone and in the cloud only once, but when using Siri it would list 2 or 3 duplicate contacts. Also after we deleted all the contacts on the phone, did an iPhone reset (Home and On/off buttons), my contacts list would show empty. Then I would click on Groups and poof all of a sudden duplicate or triplicate contacts would be in the contacts list.
Very strange.

Siri and Reminders on iPad 3

I just downloaded iOS 6 today for use with my iPad 3.
I've always wanted to use Siri in association with the Reminders app on my iPad. Attempting to do so today, I received a response from Siri informing me that Siri does not work with the Reminders app.
What?
According to Apple's own webpage, Siri is indeed supposed to work with the Reminders app: http://www.apple.com/ios/siri/siri-faq/
What gives…?

All of a sudden Siri is now working with Reminders. Strange.
I didn't do anything different. I initiated/repeated the same commands as always, i.e. "New reminder…"
It didn't work for the first 3 occasions. Siri constantly tell me that she couldn't work with the Reminders app.
Now, no problem. Everything is working perfectly.
Exceedingly strange!

Cool uses for Siri powered Reminders

I thought I would start this so folks could share discoveries of hw cool this combination really is;
There is the obvious
get milk at the store,
wake me up at__.
Ect.
Reminders is integrated enough that it is a real task manager. It will never be as powerful as an Omnifocus ot Things but it might be just the ticked for those that don't need that much complexity.
Multiple lists that can be pulled together by day.sorting isn't available but Siri will sort your tasks by time if you ask to see your reminders for today.
You can use the app as a custom timer.
Sure you can start the iPhones time with Siri but it is only one. Tell Siri to remind you in 5 min to check the grill and a reminder will be created to go off in 5 min.
Theses show on the phones lock screen and stay until cleard with the elapsed time show since it went off too.
Lots of uses here. " remind me to leave for the dentist in a half hour" " remind me to baste the turkey in 15 min" remind me to start the squash in 10 min"
You get the idea. The alarms won't keep ringing so you have to be paying attention but it's sure quicker than messing with a timer app or setting a bunch of wind up timers all over you house.
Feel free everyone to share you cool discoveries of cool Siri.
Have a Great Day!

I'm sorry. That was missleading. Reminders can have any sound in the iPhone sounds list. They just won't repeat like the timer app. That is the disadvantage. If you need that kind of notice and you only have one thing to time then certainly use the timer. If you are using reminders regularly you should be tuned to what ever tone you have chosen anyway. I would sort through the list and see if there is one that gets your attention better. This is found in settings/sounds. You can also create a custom tone and use that as you reminder tone. They can be up to 30 sec long. There is a great App called Due that that has excelent remonders and timers. Its the interaction between Siri and Reminders that make the use of the builtin app cool to me.

Old contacts showing up in siri and text search results but not in contacts list.

So what I did was this. I had mobile me, and iphone ocntacts as well as contacts on phone. After updating to IOS5, i had tripples of almost all my contacts (but not all). I converted my mobile me to icloud to discover i couldnt use that email under my new official icloud accoutn as my @me.com adress. So what i did was this. I deleted my old mobile me (now icloud account) compleatly from my phone, my iPad and my computer so there is no trace of it. I then went to my new iCloud account (that i will now use as my only icloud account. going to let the old mobile me one just die so i have 1 central spot for all my stuff). Now all my contacts are gone. So to start fresh and just be done with the confusion, i go to www.icloud.com and manually (by hand) re type in all my contacts. I updated some info and changed some names (like nicknames and stuff like that to real names). Basiclly compleatly organizing my contacts and such to the way i want them. Getting rid of poeple i no longer talk to and such. I did it, it syned and all was well. However now here is hte problem.
If i go to spotlight search, or text search, or search with siri, or any type of search function, all of my old contacts are still there and viewable. All the ones i wanted to get rid of are all still there. However, if i go to contacts and look for thoes old contacts, they are not in the contact list (yes iv checked every "group" and also "all contacts" in groups). What i want is to figure out how to get all of these old contacts compleatly deleated so they dont show up anywere on my phone. Especially with siri its making searches and auto calling more difficult because its finding two contacts sometimes that are the same person and asks me to distinguish instead of jsut calling. CAn anybody help?
Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure to give as much info on the specifics as possible so hopefully i can get this resolved. Is this a bug or something i did wrong? can i fix it or do i just have to wait for an update?
P.S.
Iv since upgraded to iphone 4S and still happening. Also this does NOT happen on my iPad. Only my iPhone.

Since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

since I upgraded to os 5.1 for my iPhone I can no longer type in reminders. Any suggestions how to get around having to use siri for reminders?

Unfortunately, I have a very similar problem. Since I upgraded to os 5.1 on my new iPhone 4S the reminders screen will not add new reminders or scroll up and down. What's more strange is the screen will still scroll side to side allowing access to the Completed list, and both the Completed list and Date functions work normally so this must be an upgrades glitch.

"Siri" & calendar, task list

I am considering changing from my iPhone 4 to a 5. Will Siri allow with voice commands to add calendar events. I would also like to be able to add or mark complete, items in the task list.

Yes, you can add calendar events and reminders using Siri.

How can I set my privacy tighter with Siri and Dictation?

OK First of all, Apple needs to stop with the restriction of what you can say in posts. They keep deleting my stuff without allowing my QUESTION to be answered.
First of all, when did this massive invasion of my privacy happen? Did it happen with the latest update to iOS 8.1? I know I did not have these pop ups until this update happened this week.
I would like to know how to use Siri and Dictation WITHOUT such a massive invasion of my privacy?
Did I ever have such privacy prior to iOS 8.1?
I went to dictate a text message to my husband today and I get a pop up telling me that ALL my information is going to be shared. There is a "learn more" link and I click that and it has this long diatribe on how
Apple takes the things I say and dictate and records them and sent to them to process my requests. My device will also send Apple other information, such as my name and nickname; the names, nicknames, and relationship with me (e.g. "my dad") of my address book contacts, song names in my collection, and HomeKit-enabled devices in my home (e.g., "living room lights") (collectively, your "User Data"). All of this data is used to help Siri and Dictation understand me better and recognize what I say. It is not linked to other data that Apple may have from my use of other Apple services...
there is a lot more but suffice it to say, it does NOT 'match' what is said about Siri and Dictation on the Apple privacy page. The phone privacy contract description has MORE things listed that are being recorded, used and stored.

It only matches what I quoted. There is a lot more in the phone.
I also had a lot more in my original post but Apple censored and then deleted it because they decided it was a rant.
Apple's policy in my phone's privacy policy says a lot more.
Apparently from your answer I am stuck with a massive invasion of my privacy? Are you so very comfortable with having everything you say recorded? What if you worked in a high security industry?
I also asked if this was in effect prior to this latest update or not.
What I had to omit. Check your phone's privacy page and compare to apple's web page I linked ( Settings > General > Keyboard >Dictation & Settings > General > Siri) and click on the About Siri or Dictation privacy...
It goes on to tell me I can restrict Siri's and Dictation's ability completely by turning it off.
It tells me that my personal information, voice recording and other things collected may be retained for a period of time to generally improve Siri, Dictation an functionality in other Apple products and services. <-- this right here contradicts the paragraph I quoted by saying it indeed DOES use it for other Apple things. Also, HOW LONG is this "period of time"?
If I want to 'erase' this information I can simply turn off then on Siri and or Dictation and lose what I have had recorded on me. THIS fully restarts the "learning" process all over again and in turn NEGATES all the stuff it learned in the past. The KICKER is that since apple "retains what it collects for a period of time" HOW does turning the services off truly "erase" what was taken in the past?
Why can't the learning process be done directly on the phone itself without it being RECORDED and STORED by Apple?
Now, before you go off and say how Apple respects my privacy, I know all of that. I just don't believe or trust it since all this iCloud hacking has been happening lately AND I am VERY conscious of what I put "out there" for all to see and take. I don't use social networking either due to the massive invasion of my privacy. Plus I find it silly. I will not be reduced to a low level of conversation where the simple "like" is the equivalent of a reply.

How to Share Reminders Lists

Hi,
I have a quick question regarding the sharing of Reminders lists. The biggest part is I can't figure out how to do it. Though I've found many tutorials that say that there should be a section of the Calendar app on iCloud that shows lists in your Reminders app I don't see anything in the Calendar app that shows my lists.
When I log into iCloud online I see there's two apps, one for Calendars and one for Reminders. Though I see the 'share' button for calendars in the Calendars app I don't see any 'share' button in the Reminders app. And because the Reminders lists aren't being shown in the Calendar app I can't share from there either. I've checked on two different computers (a PC at work and my Mac at home OS8) as well as on my iPad and it's the same across the board.
Hopefully this is enough information. Seems like a simple question but I guess it has a more complex answer.
As an example. I'd like to create a grocery list and then send an invite to my wife's iPhone so she can share and edit that same list. She has her own iCloud account.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam

Apparently the only place where this function is available as of today is Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Provide feedback to Apple that this function needs to be returned to icloud.com, or at a minimum added to iOS 6.

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

Ical reminders list won't sort on iphone

ICal Reminders won't sort on the actual device it was intended for - the Iphone
I just talked to Apple Express service over this problem. I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item asked for a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort all the Reminders you entered - so that it can actually be useable as any Calendar/time management system would be. I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc. It must be said, at least to Apple, apparently, that the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone. The Reminders all synced immediately to the Iphone. However, the Reminders list is an unsorted jumble on my iphone. Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in. Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported" on the device you want to use them on - the iphone. They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail. In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time. I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink. Oh - but you can't print it out either.
Unbelieveable. Apple's ICal Reminder function actually and actively leads you to engage with completing details and choices that don't even function, or in other words - aren't "supported" on the Apple device they are stated to be designed for. Is there a device on which this function is actually supported? "Not at this time"
The only way to have your to-do list sorted on the iphone is to assign a calendar date for each one of them and then they only appear on that specific date. You would not be able to view your whole list in anything other than the order you happened to enter the items. No calendar/time management system I know of makes you put a date on every item in a task list - some tasks have a due date, but most don't. And every calendar/time management system allows you to sort your list, or view your list in a sorted order. And print it out also.
Apple advertises this Icloud Ical/Reminders system as a time managment tool and fails to tell us that vital functions don't even work on your iphone.

Hello Christiansted,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
In addition to shuffle, you probably have repeat enabled. When you tap the screen or cover art while playing a song, the scrubber bar has the Shuffle button at the right end and the Repeat button at the left end.
If the circular arrows are blue, it will repeat the album or playlist.
If the circular arrows have a small number 1 on them, it will only repeat one song
If they are white, Repeat is off.
The User's Guide explains this on page 63:

Hope that helps,

View ALL upcoming alerts and reminders?

is there a function within iCal to view all upcoming alerts and reminders, in one single page to know your upcoming deadlines for the week or month or day?

yes you can.
go to PRINT.
under View -> select "list"
make sure that you have set the TIME RANGE correctly. the default is the current date and it ends 1 day later, i.e. it only displays that date's reminders.
click the "up" arrows to increase the no. of days AFTER the current date, and you will find the preview displaying the following dates as you click.
u can even ZOOM to view the events themselves, and select the font sizes as well.

SahrePoint 2013 Server & Project Server 2013 - Notifications and reminders are not received by certain users

Dears,
We have recently implemented MS EPM 2013 where we started to face some strange behavior with the standard alerts and reminders sent from the system.
Minor number of the users (with different levels of privileges from administrators to team members) are receiving emails and alerts normally (either when they are assigned on project schedule tasks or SharePoint list items alerts) without any issues however
the. on the other hand the other majority number of resources are not receiving any kind of alerts from the system (neither from Project Server Nor from SharePoint).
knowing that, all the resources/users have their emails configured properly, and their other attributes are almost the same for all users. all the emails are stored on the same exchange server.
Anyone can help on this please.
Appreciate your cooperation.
Ibrahim Al-Masri Technology Manager at MethodCorp

Thanks Dinesh,
Actually the users have this global permissions configured for them and yet they weren't receiving emails.
We Just could solve this puzzle, all what we needed to do is to configure the
RBS for the majority for the users who weren't receiving emails.
Welcome to EPM 2013 UN-unannounced changes.
