Siri doesn't know my location

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.

  • 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.

  • Siri doesn't know who I am

    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.

  • 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.

  • Siri doesn't recognize podcasts in 7.1

    Apple giveth and Apple taketh away. Siri doesn't recognize podcast again anymore. I typically listen to them through a hands-free Bluetooth kit which is great because I can't use my hands. But now I get this:
    "Sorry Paul, I can't play podcasts for you"
    This issue was also present when IOS 7 was initially released but was restored in 7.0.1 or something. Now it's an issue again.Being disabled this is a big deal for me. It's certainly going to cut down on my enjoyment of podcasts. This makes no sense at all. I'm getting really tired of this Apple.
    Unless I'm missing something here? Has anybody else managed to get this to work in iOS 7.1?
    -PN

    Yeah I know that. Other than expressing my frustration the main reason I wanted to post this here is to see if others had noticed this as well or perhaps even got it to work somehow. I neglected to mention that in my original post but it is fixed now. Sorry about that.

  • Siri doesn't recognize my daughter's nickname... Never spells it right.

    My daughter's name is Alison, and I have a contact for her and have told Siri she's my daughter. Her nickname, is Ali and is entered into the nickname field in Contacts. Siri doesn't recognize it. If I say, "Send a text to Ali," she says "To whom should I send it?" If I use the name "Ali" in a document, email, or text, I get "Allie" or "Alley" but never "Ali." There is no phonetic nickname field. I've tried phonetic first name, but it doesn't work. Short of listing her first name as "Ali" (getting rid of "Alison" altogether) and using the phonetic first name field (which some users have suggested doing but with only mixed results), is there any way to teach Siri to spell Ali's name correctly and to recognize her nickname when being asked to perform actions? This is a minor but persistent nuisance. Thanks for any help you all may have!

    You may find SIRI to be a slow learner. Who, BTW, is akin to Skynet of Terminator fame. The phone's main involvement is digitizing your mumblings and handing all over to some processing center God-knows-where, for military-grade technology to try and come up with something to utter back. If it can't contact the mother ship, it will time out and spew the generic "can't help you now, try later" blurb. All this courtesy of the Stanford Research Institute who developed this for the US/DOD a few years back. Hence the moniker. Back to our regularly scheduled programming after this history flash.
    Have patience and Silly Siri may eventually get it.  It's supposed to learn.
    If you want a bit of Siri Comic Relief, try and catch the Big Bang Theory episode where Raj falls in love with Siri, who's the only female he can talk to without being half drunk....

  • Siri doesn't understand when using headset

    My wife and I are both experiencing this problem with Siri on iPhone 5.  Siri doesn't understand us when using any external headphones.  She's experiencing this with a wireless Jawbone and I'm using a wired Sennheiser/Adidas.  If we turn Siri off, Voice Control works just fine on both devices, and Siri works fine if using the phone by itself, so it's obviously not some sort of accent/mumbling problem or fundamental headset issue.
    Asking Siri for playlist "Peak Mix" through the headphones gets me "You don't have a playlist:" "Keith Nix", "Peter Max", "Cake Mix", ...   Oddly, saying exactly this through the headphones to plain ol' Voice Control (Siri disabled) works JUST FINE.  Also, disconnecting the headphones and using Siri with the iPhone's mic also works JUST FINE
    This also appears to have changed recently, within the last month or so (May 2013).  I don't recall having these issues a few months ago.  6.1.4 issue?  I've tried the "usual" fixes, disable/re-enable Siri, restart the iPhone, etc.

    Siri doesn't understand 'home' if your address is not listed correctly in contacts. It can be the label for the address field is wrong or that your own address is not listed at all. Using iCloud's to store your Personal data instead of for example Google might also help. iCloud has special fields for storing information that Google using exchange sync does not provide, eg fields for storing your mothers and fathers name. Siri can learn a few things while speaking to it but it doesn't understand everything right off the bat. If you ask Siri 'call my girlfriend' but doesn't know it Siri might ask you who she is in your contact list. That doesn't work for everything though.

  • How come siri doesn't find places, restaurants or maps in canada  .

    how come siri doesn't find places, restaurants or maps in canada .I am so angry that apple says that siri does all of that but forgets to say USA only !!!!

    It is dissappointing that Siri location services are available in only a few countries. However, Apple never said that it was available everywhere. It is a beta service and they never even had a trace of Siri on the Apple Canada website. They even removed it from the video clips and everything. I consider myself lucky we can use it at all (reminders/calender dates/texts/websearches etc.) we have to wait patiently for our Country to be added. It will probably take a little while due to having 2 national languages.

  • I received the following error when attempting to use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to manage my passwords; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program. How can I correct this?

    I use HP SimplePass Identity Protection to control my passwords. Everything was fine until I updated to Firefox 4. Can I remove version 4 or is there a solution to my problem. I received the following error message; Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (dpql) isn't associated with any program.

    You'll have to downgrade to the previous secure version I regret to say. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>

  • Siri doesn't understand stars in music and playlists

    I love the idea of using Siri to control music playlist, but she doesn't seem to understand stars.  For example, I have a smart playlist called "★★★★", and when I ask her to "play playlist 'four stars'" she instead tries to play a song or album with "star" or "4" in the name.  I tried to get her to list my playlists, to see what she thinks it's called, but she doesn't know how to do that.  I also tried telling her "play songs with 4 star rating" and she didn't understand that either.  I don't want to have to rename my playlist to be "four stars".  Is there any other way to get her to understand what I want?

    Yea man, I was quite hopeful and purchased the 4S only because of Siri but as of now It seems only a marketing glamour.
    Do you think It would learn our accent ? Or is this note the ultimate reality:
    Can I use Siri in any of these languages in other countries?
    Yes. Siri can be enabled in any country, and you can choose to speak to it in English, French, or German. However, Siri is designed to recognize the specific accents and dialects of the supported countries listed above. Since every language has its own accents and dialects, the accuracy rate will be higher for native speakers

  • When i click on a hiper link, i get the following response: firefox doesn't know how to open this adress, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.

    when i click on a hyper-link, i get the following response: firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (blockedhttp) isn't associated with any program.
    My question is: how do i get this hyper-link to open?

    You have blocking software to change the url to prefix blocked to the url to get '''blockedhttp:''' to prevent you from opening the file. It might be the "Blocksite" extension, but I just typed in something I blocked into the location bar and I didn't see that happen. but that might not be the same as clicking on a link.

    Maybe it's from the blocked sites list used by Firefox and other browsers maintained at google, or a parental controls application.

  • Siri doesn't understand "remind me when I arrive at work" - help

    Hi everyone,
    For a while, I have been trying to ask Siri to remind of things when I arrive at work.  It works fine to remind me when I get home but she doesn's seem to understand "work".
    I have tried:
    "when I arrive at work"
    "when I arrive at the office"
    After that, she just repeats the question. when would you want me to remind you? home,...., WORK!,.....  I mention work again and it just doesn't work.
    I do have an address with the tag Work in my contact card.
    I waited for iOS6 hoping it was some bug but it still does the same.
    Any help here?
    Does it work for you? What do you say?
    Thanks
    Nuno
