Siri doesnt recognise my home address

Today I tried asking Siri what the weather was like at home, she turned about and said sorry I dont know the weather at South Burnett. The South Burnett is a fairly large area where I live but it should have given up the name of my home town at the very least.
I have Siri recognising me under My info. I have my address in my contacts as my full residential address as in number, street, suburb, postcode etc but still she wont come to the party. If it also helps I am in Australia, so I understand there will be issues, but I have no clue where she is pulling South Burnett from as I do not have it entered anywhere in my phone.
Advice thanks?

I did as you suggested but when I dropped the pin it automatically assigns the address with the incorrect one, as in my street, South Burnett etc etc. I even dropped a pin dead centre of town, over the top of the local cop shop and a few other landmarks and each time it returned the incorrect location. So it may even be a map issue
Thanks anyhow

Is there a way to keep Siri from giving home address?

I discovered that Siri will give my home address when the home button is pressed when locked. How can you keep that from happening if it's lost or stolen?

Disable Siri when the phone is locked.

Siri home address not ID'ing

siri is not identifying when I arrive home but foursquare does. I checked my address book address and also checked siri has location on. is there a check list of things to check before thinking that siri is just plain broken?

Since the most recent upgrade, I have been having the same problem. SIRI recognizes my home address (it finds it if I ask for my home address), and I can set the reminder manually and it reminds me when I arrive at home. SIRI works if I ask it to remind me when I arrive at work, but when I ask it to remind me when I arrive at home, SIRI repeats 'when would you like me to remind you'. It used to work; it appears to be some bug.

Siri Navigate Home can't find my home address (UK)

...even though I have filled in my home address accurately. I get the same problem trying to navigate to work. If I go to my contact entry and tap on the address that's there, it opens maps ti the correct location. It just seems to be an issue with Siri.
On a positive note, this text was dictated by Siri rather successfully!

I'm in Calgary Alberta Canada. ALL Siri functions are reputedly working here. My wife just bought a new 4S and she can get direstions, local restaurants weather, etc. I just continually get "Open Location Services, etc or locations in Toronto, 6,000 kms away! I have never had full Siri function since I purchased the 4S as soon as it came out and just assumed this it was not available in Canada. I am fully updated with all apps to iOS6.

How do I get Siri to understand my school address?

Under my info, I have my home address, my work address, and then I added a third address for my college. I used a custom label, school.
Whenever I ask siri to remind me about something when I get to school, she says she doesnt know my school address, and prompts me to add it. I have also tried it with the default "other" label, and I have tried creating a seperate contact named "school".
Are work and home the only places I can use location-based reminders?

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.

Home address not shown correctly

Hello all,
   I just got my first iPhone today, the iPhone 4s, very happy I am.
   I also have an iPad 2 both have a similar issue.
   In my contact card I have my home address as
84 Beaconhurst Drive
Beacon Bay
East London
5241
South Africa
When I search for this address in maps, the maps more or less finds my address, albeit about 2 km out. However when I click the address on my address card it just slaps a pin in the middle of East London, and does the same for my work address, and any other address I have tried.
When I add a point to a map and try add that to my contact, all that comes up is Eastern Cape, East London.
This leaves me with two problems
1   When I Ask siri what is the weather for tomorrow, I am told, there is no weather for eastern cape, south Africa, despite the fact that the weather app is picking up my location.
2. When I tell Siri, remind me to xxx when I arrive at home, I am told Siri does not know where my home is.
Please help me ASAP, cause that feature is something I have been looking forward to, since I saw the ads.
Thanx

the problem isn't your iPhone - apple uses google maps to determine your location and secondly Siri location based services doesn't play 100% nicely in SA yet - it does work - mine does in Cape Town - weather, location based reminders etc.
try adding your location/s manually to your iPhone by using Maps and then using your address book to add those locations and then try the location based reminders again - might work.

My ipod touch is frozen! And it doesnt recognise when I press it

Can my contacts on my iPhone see my personal information such as my home address and "related names" (relatives)?

I was setting up my own info in Contacts on my iPhone 5S to keep things organized and tidy. I added in my home addresses (I have two) and added my relatives' names as well. I did this to make things convenient for me, especially when using Maps... I can just type or say "home" or "home2" instead of typing in the entire address or scrolling around and zooming in with my fingers. It's especially handy when I'm driving and don't want to use my hands. I also added in my relatives' names so I can just tell Siri to give me directions to "aunt Debbie" or "call uncle Joe," etc...
But then I realized this is information that my contacts can probably see. Many of my contacts are only professional acquaintances (not friends) and I don't want them to know my home addresses or the names of my relatives. All I want my contacts to see is my phone number, job title, and the link to my LinkedIn page.
As far as I know there is no setting to control what info is visible to your contacts. If there is, can someone please point it out to me? If not, is there another solution? Or should I just not have my addresses stored in my phone (which kind of defeats the purpose of the phone being convenient when you need it to)? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
iPhone 5S
iOS 8.2

I hope that's right. With social networking and social integration and now iCloud in the picture, I wonder what gets synced these days between contacts. I have contacts in my iPhone who I have no idea who they are but they automatically synced to my phone simply because I had an email exchange with them once upon a time. And I'll get those same peoples' birthday reminders (as if I care), LinkedIn links, and though I don't use facebook or twitter I'm sure those show up on everybody's contacts who uses them.
I used to be more tech savvy a few years ago but with more responsibilities as I get older I just don't have the time to study what's what these days. These days it seems like everything is now about the "cloud" and I have no idea what iCloud will sync automatically with other iPhone users. I'm growing increasingly wary about who can see what, and my home addresses and relatives' names are on top of that list.
Thank you for your reply.

Siri does not know my address

Siri does not know my address although typing in a reminder and selecting remind when I get home works!!

Thanks !! I am going to try this out tomorrow...here is what i have been trying..
I am having a similar ‘when I get home reminder only worked a couple of times when I got the phone new after that the setttings got out of wack because I had multiple contacts for myself in my outlook. I deleted all but one and corrected all the fields for address etc Still it does not work It actually pics another incomplete address in another city in Florida and of course it never gets me the reminder
I called apple several timeswe hard reseted the phoneloaded the new 5.11 software and it still does the same thing..... IT DOES NOT WORK !!! so apple gave the expcuse that this is in BETA and that it is more prone to problems since they are working all the bugs out ok my next stop is the genius bar at the store to see if someone ther knows about this
It works for time related reminders but location reminders don’t work very well yet it seems.
I have been telling it "when i get home....when I arrive home....but not "when I arrive at my address" I will try that out and see if the ***** responds to that LOL...thanks for your post !!

Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

How do I delete an old home address from autofill?

I bought some tape from a company called Tape Brothers. I entered my home address for billing and shipping. Somehow during the process, it used autofill to add my old address from another state I lived in 18 months ago, and filled in THAT address. In the website's own account information for me it shows my new address first, and my old address second, buy autofill apparently filled in the old address instead. The 'expert' at the vendor site told me that the problem wasn't their system, but my autofil function of Firefox. Is there a way for me to delete that old address so that it can never autofil it again? If I completely delete Firefox and reload it, will that fix my issue?

You can check if that got removed by revisiting the page and check the drop-down list.
If you highlight an entry and press the Delete key then that entry should be gone if you click the down arrow again.
I'm not sure if this is a normal autocomplete (saved form data) or a name/password combination, but this should work in both cases.
Saved names and passwords can be found in the Password Manager.
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-passwords
For saved form data there isn't a user interface to inspect and manage items that Firefox has stored and the only way to check for those is to visit the page where you saved them and check the drop-down list if the input field.

How do I get my Exchange "home" addresses to show up in Contacts?

I synch my iPhone contacts from my work Exchange Server. Ever since I upgraded to IOS7, I cannot see any "home" addresses for my contacts. All I can see is "work" addresses for each contact. All phone numbers and e-mails are fine. It's only caused the "home address" field to disappear on my phone. How do I get my Exchange "home" addresses to show up?

I had a similar issue with my Outlook contacts' home addresses missing on my iPhone after having upgraded to iOS 7. There is a workaround - for each problematic contact on your iPhone, add a dummy address by editing the contact. The home address will now appear. If you have many contacts at once, try the workaround by using this method of batch-editing iPhone contacts.

How do I find a list of songs that Siri has recognised for me in iOS 8?

Hi all, I love Siri's ability to recognise songs built-in to iOS 8 so much that I deleted the Shazam app to save screen space. But recently I've realised my mistake - there doesn't seem to be a way of finding a list of all the songs Siri has recognised for me over the past week, so that I can review them and start purchasing. Is there a way to access recently recognised music anywhere on iPhone or iTunes? It seems with Siri my choices are either 1) purchase immediately, 2) memorise the song and artist (usually whilst driving) or 3) forget about it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I've actually managed to find the answer to my own question. The Siri results are stored on the iPhone. Go to iTunes Store, then click in the top right corner the icon that looks like 3 lines of dot points. This shows your wishlist and other options, one of which is "Siri". Under that heading you will find your recently Siri-Shazamed songs.

ITunes doesnt recognise any iphone since upgrade to 10.5

I am on windows 7 using Toshiba Satelitte L770
I have an iPhone 3GS, my wife has an iPhone 4 and we have an iPad.
All 3 worked fine with the Toshiba on itunes 10.4
I then wanted to upgrade the devices to iOS 5.0.1 (from 4.3) - so iTunes 10.5.2 had to be downloaded first which we did.
Once iTunes was upgrade - the devices were not recognised, only as camera devices but not in iTunes
I tried all of the standard troubleshooting as seen here - http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_7
No joy.
On a separate laptop running Windows Vista on a Dell Latitude, I have iTunes 10.5.2 installed.
When i plug the devices in, they are recognised no problem. So this problem appears to be related to the Toshiba only
I removed itunes and reinstalled the old version 10.4 -- this time iTunes gives out to say the version of iOS is imcompatible with iTunes 10.4 - which I think is good, as at least its recognising the iphone is connected.
Once I upgrade to 10.5.2. on itunes again, nothing, doesnt recognise the fact that any of the devices have been plugged in
Help??
What else can I try, cant find anything on google other than what I covered in the troubleshooting requests.

Been having the same issues happening on the same machine as you. I did this yesterday, and so far so good.
1. Restart in safe mode (Hold down shift key when you hear the chime)
2. Under Applications > Utilities > Disk Utilities, select your hard drive on the left column, and click "Repair Permissions"
3. Once done, restart
It's been a day since I've done this, and no beachballs yet (fingers crossed)
