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!

You will have to go down the route of a Restore. Please read carefully the links therein with regard to using a different different computer from that with which you normally sync.

How to sync calenders and reminders on ipad and Mac

How to update evnts on Mac when entries are made in the calender or Reminders on iPad?

I suggest migrating all your information to iCloud access.
Then whenever you make a change on either your Mac or your iPad, the change would be in effect on both devices.

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"

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.

I Downloaded IOS 6 To My IPad 2 Where is Siri and Passbook?

I m so upset where is Siri and passbook do i get it ? I just downloaded IOs 6 I should get it right I need it.

Siri is only available on the new iPad and Passbook is only available on the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
It would be quite cumbersome lugging the iPad around in order to use Passbook and I assume that is why it is not available on the iPad. It just doesn't make sense on a tablet.
iOS 6 features and capabilities vary between devices, with some features available only with certain devices and models.

Why isnt the iPad 3 having the blur effect in Control Centre plus Siri and the Notification Center anymore?

I heard that beta 4 had the blur effect but since beta 5 the blur effect vanished and now my iPad looks ugly after update...how does it look beautiful when Apple hasn't supported the blur in iPad two and three!! Hope this is a bug...

I bought the 64gb 3G iPad 1 and the 64gb LTE iPad 3.... My understanding at the time was that Apple has amazing support for older devices so it was worth it to me to spend close to $1000 for each iPad... But now... Seeing that they remove things like Blur Effects and Air Drop from devices that could support it, and they keep Siri off the iPad 2 even though the iPad mini gets ALL of these features... Good job, Apple, you taught me that it's not worth it to spend $1000 on an iPad when we all can be guaranteed you won't support it anymore after just two years. It's just not worth it.
It's also sad that they don't have enough confidence in their new products, they have to intentionally cripple the older ones just to make the newer ones look that much better.
I thought Apple was better than this. It's a bummer.... I was tempted to get the iPad 5 now, but 16gb is the most I would spend at this point knowing it will be obsolete and uglified within 2 years, not to mention 16gb is so low...I mean ***. Are we to believe that storage requirements haven't changed from iPad 1 ( a time when people weren't even sure what an iPad would be good for) and iPad 5 when people are creating content left and right.... 16gb is ridiculous... The pricing is an insult. At this point if they bumped 32gb to the bottom tier it would still be outdated. It should be 64gb, 128gb, 256gb....
So for all of these reasons, it feels like Apple is trying to talk me out of buying a new iPad more than they are trying to sell me on one.

I have gone out of my way to buy an iPad 2 and you're telling me that I cannot have Siri, as you know iPad's are expensive, and you'd expect the newest updated whenever available. I am not a happy customer and will not but from Apple again.

If you want to use the "newest updated whatever available." then you would have to buy the newest hardware that supports that. iPad 2 is not the newest hardware available and it can't/does not support siri.

My sister has an iPad with iOS 6.1.3 and I have an iPod with iOS 6.1.3 why does she have Siri and I don't?

My sister has an iPad with iOS 6.1.3 and I have an iPod with iOS 6.1.3 also why does she have Siri and I don't?

Siri requires a 5th generation iPod Touch. Yours appears to be a 4th generation.

I did the ios7 update this morning and now my ipad wont work. I hear siri tell me all the things i touch on the ipad but i cant swipe it open

i did the 10s 7 update this morning and now my ipad wont work. I can hear siri tell me all the things i am touching on my screen but it wont unlock and allow me to enter my password. Its as if the screen doesnt work

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

How come the Ipad mini has Siri and the ipad 2 does not, they have the same chip

I was comparing the ipad modles and the ipad mini and ipad 2 are the same just smaller but the ipad 2 does not have Siri...

The iPad 2, from reports I consider reliable, lacks the special noise-cancelling circuitry necessary for Siri and included in the newer iPad models.
Regards.

I just updated my iPad 2 to iOS6 and I hold down the home button to activate Siri and I get nothing, I thought we were supposed to be able to use Siri on the iPad 2 with the new iOS6 update...???

Thanx for the clarification, it's greatly appreciated.

I am teaching an ipad class..iPad generation 3 and 4 all with ios7. Some of the students have siri and microphone, some don't. Can't figure out why.

Very frustrating. Part of the group has siri and microphone, some of the others don't. Have been searching for a solution and nothing works.
Any suggestions?
Help!

It would be helpful if you posted what the things were that you tried that didn't work in the interest of not suggesting it again.
Settings>General>Siri>on would be the starting point. Then Settings>General>Restrictions>Siri>Off. If you restrict Siri, that also restricts the microphone I believe.

An embarrassment of riches - too many tablets! Should I consolidate and get an iPad Air?

Currently I have the following tablets:
- Nexus 7 2013 wifi only
- iPad 2 32 GB wifi + cellular, but no longer in contract
- iPad 1 wifi + cellular, no longer in contract
- an extra iPad 1, also wifi + cellular, not in contract that I got for free for helping somebody with some computer stuff
That same friend who gave me the iPad 1, wants to upgrade from his iPad 4th generation to an iPad Air, and he want to give me his 4th G iPad for free. It is a 64 GB wifi only model.
The reason I never upgraded beyond the iPad 2 was because all the later models got thicker and heavier, and I thought my iPad 2 was already too heavy, which is why I got my Nexus 7. I hardly touch my iPad 2 these days. They are both within arm's reach, but the Nexus 7 is easier to hold, and allows voice input, which I often find convenient, and most of the time I reach for it. I like the voice input on my iPhone 5 too, and I feel like something is "missing" when I pick up my iPad 2. Plus it feels like it weighs a ton next to the Nexus 7.
Well, anyway I have too many tablets. And soon I'll have the iPad 4th G. So I was thinking of selling the iPad 2, the two iPad 1s and the iPad 4 and getting an iPad Air, wifi + cellular with a data sharing plan with my iPhone 5. After all, compared to the iPad 2, the iPad Air is (1) lighter, (2) has Siri, (3) has a retina display, (4) has much better specs and (5) now the cellular model is universal, so if I take a trip to the U.S. it would be easier to use there.
Yet there are things I now prefer about my Nexus 7 with Android 4.4 over iOS 7. Like it has better sharing features, the ability to send all kinds of attachments, more customization, better "hooks" into the UI from 3rd party apps, the ability to choose your own default mail apps and browsers. It seems just more flexible overall. And the Facebook app runs "smoother" than on my iPad 2.
But I like iOS 7 too.
I wonder if I would use an iPad Air any more than I do my iPad 2 since it is lighter than the recent iPads. The screen being larger might make reading magazines and news sites easier. And Siri is still better than the Android voice dictation in my opinion. Or will the weight and size actually keep driving me back to the Nexus 7?
I guess I still haven't found the right place in my life for using a tablet for anything other than casual use. I don't want to get into a religious argument about whether tablets are production devices versus consumption devices, but basically I am in the camp that does not see them as true productivity devices. My iMac is for that.
Conundrums, conundrums. I do have too many "devices" right now though. Within an arm's reach I can count 12 computers, tablets and phones all on wifi! Who needs that much stuff?!
And if I do get the iPad Air, do I need 128 GB? The way they sell here in Japan, you don't put any cash down at all, and basically get an interest-free loan for 2 years. So "for just a few hundred yen more a month" you can go from the 32 GB model to the 64 GB model. And then "for just a few hundred yen more a month" you can go to the 128 GB model. It seems a waste not to get the 128 GB model. But in my current iPad 2 I only use a little more than half the current 32 GB.
Decisions, decisions. Any thoughts?

The weight is somewhat of an issue for me. I find the iPad 2 irritatingly heavy whenever I pick it up, and the iPad 4th generation is heavier even than my iPad 2.
But for the amount I use it I could get used to that. That option is certainly the least headache, contract-wise, and I would avoid the ever-present possibility of dealing with AppleCare if something is "not perfect" (which it never is).
I guess the only "practical" reason would be that I would be getting rid of all my iPads with a cellular option. So if I did make a trip to the U.S. in the spring, it would be harder to use the iPad 4. Here, in Japan, of course I could use the free tethering option on my iPhone 5.
So I guess it is just the cellular option I'm giving up that is in the back of my mind.
