Siri doesn't know my current location
When I ask Siri where some place is, it says that it doesn't know my location. What settings do I use to set that up?
Do you have Location turned on ins Settings>Privacy?
If you go to the Maps does it show the iPods correct location?
DId it work before at this location?
Does it work OK at another location/network?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it could be that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

Siri doesn't know where I live?
The 'my info' setting for Siri is tied to my contact details, which includes my home address, in full, including post code, with all entries in the correct fields, yet Siri doesn't know where home is. Any ideas?
Hi
This is a problem with iOS6 mapping data. Try taking the last two letters off your UK postcode. Then it works (provided you have location services enabled in your settings). This is particularly annoying if you want to use Siri to take you to an address in your contacts.
This is an example of when an update isn't an improvement.

Why doesn't siri know how to change the time of a reminder? When asked, "Do you want to confirm or cancel your reminder?" Reply, "Can I change the time to a half hour later?" Siri doesn't know how to respond.
Hi
In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

When i ask Siri to remind me of something when i leave home, it says it doesn't know where i live. How do i set it so it knows my address?
I too had the same problems as everyone else on here but I've sussed it out how to do it. Go on google maps on your phone and find your home or work etc on the map. Now on your home press your finger on the screen and it drops a pin with a blue arrow.
Click on the blue arrow
click on add to contacts
click on add to existing contact
find your own contact details and click on it
your details open up with the address you dropped the pin on now in your address field.
click on edit at the top right hand side of the screen
now scroll down to the address and click on the address description at the side of the listed address and select either home, work other or add custom label.
The custom label is good for anything else you need to name. I have all our branches now listed under say, wolverhampton brach, telford branch etc. This way I can get siri to remind me where ever I want to go such as " remind me to get my tools back when i get to the "wolverhampton branch". Works 100% every time this way.
Hope this helps you guys out. -
Anyone know the current location for techno 15447?
I see a lot of references to "For more information on LCK files and how the Check In/Check Out system works, see TechNote 15447 on the Adobe website atwww.adobe.com/go/15447." so I wanted to read it. Guess what. Cannot find. So is there a current reference? Just wanted to do some reading on the subject.
Thanks. AndyI believe this is an index of all of the TechNotes. Hope it helps you.

My wife and I use the same iCloud ID. We have two different iPhone 4S however. Siri keeps thinking that my wife is the owner of my iphone as well as her iPhone. Anyway to fix this problem? I didn't think that Siri would be tied to the apple ID associated with iCloud. I have to frequently go into settings and take my wife's name out of the My info box and put my name in.
I was dealing with the same thing. only the iCloud account is mine and it still thought I was my wife.
this was an artical I found helpfull.

IOS Maps cannot get my current location?
Wondering if anyone can help...I got a new internet modem last week..as my other modem stopped working properly. Beforehand, I was able to get my current location no problem. Since I got the new modem..my iPod Touch (5th Gen) cannot get my current location. All it says "Cannot Determine Location"
I ask Siri a question about my current location and it can't find my current location either, give me near businesses that I would like to go to e.g A Restuarant or give me local weather.
Any thoughts on what should I do...I have tried resetting the network settings and my last resort would be to restore my iPod as everything else on it is working perfectly.
My home address is not fully correct but worked with the last modem I had, and thought it might work with this new internet modem (WiFi) from the same company. Should I change it to the correct address as it should be or leave it alone?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated on how to fix this problem. It's preety annoying
Thanks so much.For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location.

You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds
Make sure someone with an iPhone comes over and uses wifi at your house. -

Thanks!
... AFAIC Location Services is a joke.
With both devices sitting side by side on my kitchen table, Location Services has NEVER shown the devices to be any where close to each other, and at times Location Services has been as much as a 1/4 of a mile off between the two devices.
Your iPod Touch has no GPS receiver so determining its location relies upon wireless routers whose location is known. Its "location" is actually that of a wireless router. Your iPhone 4 can use GPS, cellular triangulation, and Wi-Fi. One would think GPS would be most accurate but urban areas have a greater density of cells and GPS signals are easily obstructed so cellular triangulation is often more accurate.
Therefore the two devices' locations can be expected to be different. Differences of a quarter mile are easily explained if you understand how location services works: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1975
Skyhook Wireless (I think Apple uses its own database now): http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/
Location Services is not a "joke"; its intended use is for basic navigation and for such applications as determining where the nearest restaurant is. It cannot tell you that your iPod is under the couch cushions and that your iPhone is in the car. -
I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it. Can anyone help me find where to change location?
As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected. Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database. If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location. I don't think that there is anything you can do about it. You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

This was installed before i got to my current location. When I try to start it I get an error "repeng32.dll" error.
Sounds like an issue with the current installation. May need to uninstall/reinstall. Hyperion Enterprise Reporting has a seperate installer than that for just Hyperion Enterprise so it's possible that the reporting component isn't even installed.

Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends
Siri doesn't seem to work with Find My Friends completely accurately. If I ask it where once of my friends is, it tells me it doesn't know, but shows that person in the response, twice, with their location. Anyone experiencing this?
Also - I found a bug. If you dictate a note via Siri it will not sync with iCloud at all. If you manually update the note however after Siri dictates it will. It will also sync if you manually start a note and then use the microphone on the keyboard.Actually, I figured it out. For the person in question I had both [email protected] and [email protected] listed in their contact info. When you look at them in Find My Friends see which one is highlighted and delete the other. Once I did that they only showed up once in Siri.

Unable to determine current location at this time Mavericks
Hello,
I can't get location service running in Mavericks.
I know it worked before. But somehow it stopped working. It doesn't work with map neither.
Thanks in advance.Perhaps the 'network time server' for the region, that Apple uses, is down at this time(?)
Not sure how one would go about reporting an issue, to somewhere it would matter...
Try unchecking the box next to the automatic time zone location item & set it manually.
{Edit to add: I noticed you asked of this in an older thread, that had suggested this:
OS X Mavericks: Manage which apps can use Location Services
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14318
And I looked into that link, but it does not explain your issue.}
The same item has occurred several times, as indicated by a few similar named topics
that come up on a search via google of those same words; here's the link to that:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=mac+os+x+unable+to+determine+current+locati on+at+this+time
You may have to set the TimeZone manually and turn off the automatic location.
This has been an issue in some places (regional, etc) since OS X 10.6.8. but
I have no way of knowing if the cause may be the same or another behind it.
However such an outage (if it could be proven as such) would be difficult to work
around; short of testing the computer in a different Time Zone to see if that network
server was working. Then you could tell if the issue is in the Time Zone you wanted
to be using, and not in the computer itself. A matter of troubleshooting.
{Since these ASC discussion are generally and simply product users who volunteer &
try to answer some varying levels of questions, an inquiry here does not constitute a
contact with Apple, Inc, directly. So please keep that in mind should nobody know
where to look (if possible) to discover an exact match to your issue.}
So, see if the clock and time zone work if you do not have the Automatic location set
and choose the location manually instead. I don't believe a reset of the System
Management Controller (SMC) or the NVRAM/PRAM may be of help; though these
do have some bearing on settings in the computer, for different purposes.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
•About NVRAM and PRAM
Hopefully you won't have to reset anything but the Date/Time panel in the Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

Map is unable to show my current location
The map provided with the iMac (purchased in Nov-2013), is unable to show my current location. It is asking to turn the Wifi on and then failing to specify or if at all specifying, is not very clear to me. For that reason, getting direction to a place is also not working. Is there any wrong with my settings? Moreover, google map appears to me more varsatile and dynamic -- is it true? I am a newcomer to mac platform and hence these quaries.
Your iMac (well, any Mac) does not have a GPS. To determine location it matches the available WiFi SSIDs with a database of the base station locations. If the wireless access points that your iMac is receiving are not in the database, it deosn't know where it is.
This article talks primarily about iOS, but it is the same database that is used by OS X to locate you Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4995?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Also, take a look at this thread. It doesn't appear there is positive confirmation that it works, but worth a try:

When Apple started this, I had submitted my router location to the SkyHook system which they were using, but everyone says they no longer use it. -
How do I make my Timeline play forward or reverse depending on its current location?
I'm attempting to make a side scrolling site. I have a wide div set up in the main timeline that animates 1000px at a time on the x-coordinate between the labels I have set for each "page".
I would like to click a button and go to the associated label and stop. I am faced with 2 problems:
1. Sometimes this would require the playhead to move in reverse rather than forward.
2. I originally had stop triggers on the timeline under the labels but if I am able to get my first problem fixed these triggers would stop the animatin before reaching the label.
I'm just learning java so I'm guessing I need an if statement and a function.
Example of what I'm trying to figure out:
I want to press work button and play to label "work".
If I'm at label "home" I need to play(); and stop at label "work". If I were at label "blog" I would need to playReverse(); to label "work".
Please help! I've been going looney trying to figure it out!Thank you for your reply!
My post may have been a little misleading...
I have a navigation bar with 5 items. Home, work, blog, about, contact. My main timeline has a symbol that is 6000px wide. Inside that symbol are individual symbols that make each of these "pages" which are 1000px each. My timeline has animations that last 1.5 secs each and animate the main symbol 1000px on the x dimension to stop on the main stage which is 1000px. Essentially it creates a 5 "page" side scrolling layout. I have the five labels on the timeline starting at 0s with "home", 1.5s labeled "work", 3s labeled "blog"... etc.
I wish to be able to click blog and travel forward or reverse on the timeline and then stop on "blog". Then If you click home you should reverse along the timeline and stop on "home". If I have any stop(); triggers on the timeline it would stop in transition to my target label without reaching it. In addition a generic play(); or playReverse(); doesnt target a specific label which is whats required for my navigation bar.
I need to play forward or reverse from the current location on the timeline and stop when it reaches a specific label. Visually you would be sliding back and forth across the pages as you use the navigation.
Is there a way to do this with variables?
I'm going to try triggers on the timeline like this sym.setVariable("pageValue", "home"); when on the "home" label. sym.setVariable("pageValue", "work"); when on the "work" label.
but then how would I tie that to my buttons?
If I click work and I'm on home I need it to check: var myVariable = sym.getVariable("pageValue"); and then an if or else statement I think? I'm such a noob. I'm trying really hard to grasp it
something like: if pageValue = "home" { sym.play();} else if pageValue = "blog","about","contact" {sym.playReverse} if pageValue = "work" {sym.stop();};
I know there is probably all kinds of syntax errors there but can someone understand what I'm getting at?
to make this even more tricky I am interacting with the stage with an html and css navigation bar that lays over the stage so I need this to be in function style (see code)
function goHome()
javascript:var targetComp = AdobeEdge.getComposition('EDGE-57204389');
targetComp.getStage().playReverse();
and then call it like this in html
<li><a href="javascript:goHome();" class="three-d">
Dynamic
<span class="three-d-box"><span class="front">Dynamic</span><span class="back">Artisans</span></span>
</a></li>
This works to play the stage in reverse but its not the functionality I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a great learning point for me and hopefully others in my situation! -
My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds
