TS4079 problems with siri using location based reminders

When i tell siri to remind me to stop by the store when i leave work today i get a error message.  The message states my calendar service does not allow me to set location based reminders.  I thought this was something that siri does.  Any help fixing this problem is greatlhy appreciated.

I had the same problem, after reseting the phone and restoring, it worked for a while. The root of the problem stems from using and Exchange mail account. The reminders are set to exchange tasks and it won't work for location-based reminders. The solution can be found at this link:

  • Using location based reminders on a Mac

    I'd like to set a location based reminder on my Mac and have it trigger on iOS when out and about. Supposedly, if I type an address in the location field (using Reminders on my Mac) it should take, but the field just empties and defaults to my current location. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

    Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy and turn on Location Services.

  • How do I use location based Reminders when my address does not show up in Apple Maps?

    I currently live overseas and Apple maps does not have any street names listed in my neighborhood.  I have tried dropping a pin on my house and adding it to contacts, but it just takes me back to the center of town which is about 5 miles from my house and closer to my office so that the location reminders gets confused.
    Is it possible to enter gps locations directly into the reminders program or into my contacts?  Any suggestions are welcome!

    @Kilgore-Trout, there is no "contact us" at the bottom of the Apple Map. All I get is report the problem...move the pin, which I have done numerous times. Google maps gets it right & due to that fact, we have to tell vendors to NEVER use Apple Maps when getting directions for deliveries. I love apple, own all their products and now my BMW i3 is using their maps & I would love to have them be responsive.

  • TS4079 Problems with Siri. Large number of contacts with similar names

    I work for a retail company and have the locations of the stores listed in my phone as "Store 1, Store 2..." When I ask Siri to call  a specific store, it is not unsderstanding me. I have tried editing the contacts to make it more symplistic but I keep getting weird responses. I do not have this problem when calling individuals. Has anyone else had this type of problem? If so, can it be fixed?

  • TS4079 Problem with siri on iPhone4s

    I have responded a sentence from siri : Sorry, I can not take any request right now. Please try again in a little while. I can not repair this although I restored my device many times. Please help me.

    I am having the same issue last night and then again this morning so I called apple suport and they had me do a few things but no luck. When I got to work I checked a few of my coworkers iPhone 4S and they had the same issue. How it get's fixed.

  • Location based reminders don't trigger when screen is locked

    I've tried using location based reminders a handful of times since installing iOS 5.  The one thing I've noticed about them (other than the battery drain), is that they don't work when the phone is in standby (i.e. screen is off).   Unlike time based reminders which will sound even when the phone is in standby.  Location based reminders will only remind you after you unlock the screen.
    Here's an example based on a reminder I set today:
    1. I set a reminder to remind me to vote when I left my house.
    2. I left my house and drove about a 1/2 mile, all the while looking at my phone to see if the reminder triggered.
    3. Eventually I decided to press the home button and unlock the screen.  The moment I did so the reminder popped up.
    Basically if I hadn't "remembered" about the reminder and unlocked the screen, I wouldn't get reminded until the next time I used my iPhone which could have been hours later.  I'd think considering the battery drain and constant use of GPS that it should remind me shortly after leaving my house.
    Is this the way reminders are supposed to work? 

    In iOS7, location-based reminders won't fire if the Reminders app is explicitly terminated by the user.
    That is if the user removes an application from the Multi-Tasking application list (brought up with a double-press of the Home button), iOS 7 will conclude that the user doesn't want this app to get any more run-time. That implies that Reminders won't be launched again to display your location-based reminders.
    The Reminders app needs to be running in the foreground or to be put in the background for location-based reminders to work.
    This is not a bug. This is intended behavior.

  • TS4079 Siri location based reminders

    I just got a 5.  when I try to use Siri for remeinders (yes location services and siri are enabled) I get the following message:  "Your calendar service which keeps track of your reminders doesn't allow loaction based reminders"  Is this a Microsoft Exchange conflict?  Is there a fix?

  • Location based reminders option not available on iPhone 6plus with iOS 8.1

    Location based reminders option  (within Reminders app) is not available. I can open the app and create a reminder based off time, but there is no option present to specify location. I have location services enabled. The Reminders app is not listed in my apps eligible to use Location services, but it's never asked... because it's not an option in the app to select.
    iPhone 6plus with iOS 8.1

    Try using Siri to set the reminder, something like "remind me to call mom when I leave home". It should either know or ask what "home" is and that may initiate the location services. I did confirm that location services are available on the latest OS for the iPhone plus (just checked mine).

  • Siri keeps telling me "your calendar does not support location-based reminders" when I ask her to remind me to feed the cat when I get home. My address is in contacts and it has worked previously. Did iOS 8 change something?

    calendar does not support location-based reminders....
    i Just found a similar question below and it resolved my issue. Turn off the sync to exchange email and all works fine now.

    Couldn't agree more.  I've been *trying* to use location reminders ever since buying my iPhone 4S but as yet, out of many, many attempts they've only actually worked once.
    The kid problem is very simple, the way the phone needs the location to be an address in your address book, and it's subsequent inability to correctly locate the address. My home address is a correct postal address, and has been unchanged for 40+ years, yet clicking on my address from my own contact entry puts my location some distance down my street.
    Whilst I understand the issue with the address lookup, it seems to be a massive problem with the location based reminders as it's just not possible to set useful reminders.
    What if I want to remind myself of something when I arrive at the car park on a shopping trip?  There is no address for that in my contacts, I just want to pinpoint the location on the maps and say 'remind me when I get there'.  Surely that's the simplest my far.  Same with address book contacts, if you had a field with the gps position in then one could tag the locations and know they were 100% accurate for location services.
    Such a shame as it's one of the key reasons I upgraded my phone and as it stands it just plain doesn't work.

  • How do you set location based reminders with location restrictions turned on?

    I can set location based reminders with location restrictions turned off, but I want them on. Otherwise if I lost or if somebody stole my iPhone they could just turn off the find my iPhone function. Yet if I have location services restricted to prevent this then location based reminders are unavailable. Any help would be appreciated

  • Has Apple acknowledged that there's an issue with location based reminders?

    After searching several posts, I haven't found where Apple is working on a solution for the location reminders issue.  There are several recommendations that people make...but most don't seem to work.  What say you Apple??
    Please reply with a link if I missed something during my search that answers my question. Thx

    It was a bug. In iOS 7.1 Apple fixed the location based Reminders. Users no longer need to have the Reminders app running in the background for location based reminders to fire off.
