How do I get Siri to use the right name when I use it to send emails?

I reset my user name in iCloud, and made sure that I changed the "My Info" to the right name. Everytime I send an email using Siri, the wrong name shows up as the sender.
I even deleted the wrong name from all of my contacts. Does it take a few minutes for the proper name to progate through the system?

the "rests" bit reminded of some post I'd recently seen with a similar issue. i couldn't find that one, but this one suggests that the interface itself may not be compatible with the current versions of OS X.

    The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost.  I can see the network in my connections and connect to it.  How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop. 

    Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
    If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
    In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs.

  • The list of open web pages just flipped from right to left. How do I get it back on the right? Thankyou.

    The list of open web pages, which normally sits bottom right on my screen, flipped to the left. How can I move it back to the right?
    I clicked Alt + tab and saw 'Deplacer' (Reposition - I'm in France). Then the cursor became a thing like a crossroads and I clicked where I wanted to put the list of open pages but nothing happened.

    You may have placed the bookmarks icon on the Navigation Toolbar to open the bookmarks in the sidebar instead of the bookmarks menu button that opens a drop down list.<br />
    There are two icons available for opening or accessing the bookmarks that both have a star.<br />
    The icon with the drop marker opens the drop down list with the bookmarks (Bookmarks Menu button).<br />
    The other, without the star, opens the bookmarks in the sidebar, just like the Ctrl+B shortcut or View > Sidebar > Bookmarks

  • Query don't use the right index when using bind variables

    Hi people !
    I need some help because I have an issue with a query that don t use the right Indexes as it should
    First of all, I have mainly three tables :
    ORDER : Table that contains description for each Order (approximately 1 000 000 Records)
    ORDER_MVTS : Table that contains the tasks made (called movements) to set up each Orders
    with quantity of packages prepared for each product (approximately 10 000 000 Records)
    PRODUCT : Tables that contains the products (approximately 50 000 Records)
    When I launch the query with hard coded values, it brings back response very fast
    because it uses the right index (ORDER_DHR_VALID) which represent the date and hour of the order
    (with format 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'). The selectivity for this index is good.
    NB 1: I have to use the trick " >= Trunc(date) and < trunc(date) +1 " to filter on a simple date because
    the index contains hour and minutes (I know it wasn't probably a bright idea at conception time).
    NB 2: The index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE is'nt discriminating enough because there is'nt enough different products.
    It's the same for index on CUSTOMER_CODE and on MVT_TYPE so only the index on ORDER.DHR_VALID is good.
    Here is the correct explain plan when I execute the query with hard coded values :
    SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
    FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
    WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))
    AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) + 1
    AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
    AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
    AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
    AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS'
    AND PRODUCT.CODE = 1234
    Rows Row Source Operation
    1 SORT AGGREGATE
    2 NESTED LOOPS
    4 NESTED LOOPS
    2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
    4 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
    777 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 378119) --> ORDER_DHR_VALID
    2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
    30 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377784) --> ORDER_MVTS_ORDER_FK
    Now the problem is when the query is used in a Cursor with bind variables.
    It seems like Oracle don't use index on ORDER.DHR_VALID because he can't figure out that he have
    to actually filter on a short period of time (only one day).
    So Oracle uses the index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE which is'nt a bright idea (it takes 10 secondes instead of just one)
    Here is the bad explain plan :
    Rows Row Source Operation
    1 SORT AGGREGATE
    2 NESTED LOOPS
    722 NESTED LOOPS
    2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
    722 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
    1790 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377777) --> ORDER_MVTS_PRODUCT_FK
    2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
    1442 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378439) --> ORDER_PK
    Now I have found two solutions to this problem :
    1) using a Hint to force the use of index on ORDER.DHR_VALID (with /*+ INDEX(ORDER ORDER_DHR_VALID) */ )
    2) Using Dynamic SQL and keeping the date hard coded (but not the other values except mvt_type)
    For example :
    QUERY :=
    'SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
    FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
    WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) '||
    AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) + 1 '||
    AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
    AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
    AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
    AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = :CUSTOMER
    AND PRODUCT.CODE = :CODE ';
    These two solutions work but Number 1 is bad in theory because it uses a Hint
    and Number 2 may be difficult to code.
    So my question is : Does someone knows another solution to force the use of index ORDER_DHR_VALID that can be simple and reliable.
    Thank you very much for support

    What version of oracle you have? CBO work is different in 9i and 10g.
    Usually cost based optimizer do not want to use index for >< condition with binding variables because optimizer can not use statistic to determine selectivity, and by default selectivity of <> operators is low.
    (As I remember '>' selectivity by default is 5%, you have two conditions > and <, therefore resulting selectivity will be 0.05*0.05=0.0025 as two independent events, but selectivity of other conditions
    ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY' or ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS' looks much better for CBO)
    The best solution I see is do not use binding variables. Actually your query looks as searching query, which executes not so often, therefore you will not have perfomance win along of skipping execution plan creation.

  • How to get siri to recognize another contact name, when the contact name she has does not exist.

    Siri could not understand me when I asked it to call my husband, (he has a name I have a hard time pronouncing) so I put in a middle name for siri to understand.  I then deleted the middle name from his contact, however, siri still tries to text/call that contact when prompted even though it does not exist.

  • How do I get Muse to remember the last directory when accessing files?

    When I use Muse, I can't get it to remember the last directory or folder I used to access site assets. Every time I go back to access another image or document, explorer has me navigate from the "My Documents" folder to my project folder instead of remembering the last folder I accessed for that Site Project (like most software does).
    How do I set Muse to remember my project's folder within a session instead of having me navigate through the My Documents folder back to the project folder every time I want to access a new asset.
    Thanks.

  • How do I get Firefox to display the information bar when a pop up is blocked

    I accidentally clicked on "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked" when a pop up was blocked. How do I get this message to reappear again when a pop up is blocked?
    I generally find pop ups annoying, but sometimes they are necessary to use certain websites properly. Now I can't get the information bar to come back when a pop up is blocked. How do I get it back?
    == Operating system ==
    Windows XP

    You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
    You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
    You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
    Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
    Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • How do I get IE to drop the domain name from authentication responses

    All,
    I have a number of internal www servers that run various non MS operating systems which are not tied to the windows domain in any way. They are secure www sites and require authentication.
    When I connect to one via IE on a domain joined workstation or server (ie 8 & 9) I am unable to authenticate because I can not remove the domain name from the authentication credentials that IE is passing back to the www server.  I get an authentication
    prompt for user name & password with the domain pre populated.
    How the heck to I get IE to NOT pass the domain name as part of the authentication process. I've tried putting .\ in front of the user name but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Steve D.

    As you can see below, when you first attempt the auth it defaults to you domain user account... in this case win\username.
    When you select use another account, you get the following with no means to remove the domain name which causes auth failure as this www server isn't a domain member and doesn't use the domain for auth.
    How do I get rid of Domain: .... ???
    Thanks,
    Steve D.

  • How can I get a refund at the App Store when it isn't offered ?

    Perhaps the Apple attack dogs will like this post better.
    How do I get a refund for a costly app that, after requesting a refund, appears to not offer one? How does one know if an app meets one's needs unless you try it first?
    This seems so obvious, and yet, I am shocked that Apple does not offer a trial or refund opportunity if even for 24-48 hours.
    Is there another way to get a refund that I'm not aware of?

    I repeat, the Apple policy is that all sales are final and after an app has been bought and downloaded, there are no refunds. Period.
    The ONLY exception to the No Refund policy is if something freaky happens and you buy an app and between your purchase and attempt to download the app it is removed from the iTunes/MAS and is no longer available.
    PAYMENTS, TAXES, AND REFUND POLICY
    You agree that you will pay for all products you purchase through the Services, and that Apple may charge your payment method for any products purchased and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) that may be accrued by or in connection with your Account. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING APPLE WITH A VALID PAYMENT METHOD FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. For details of how purchases are billed please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582.
    Your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable sales tax; such sales tax is based on the bill-to address and the sales tax rate in effect at the time you download the product. We will charge tax only in states where digital goods are taxable.
    All sales and rentals of products are final.
    Prices for products offered via the Services may change at any time, and the Services do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering.
    If a product becomes unavailable following a transaction but prior to download, your sole remedy is a refund. If technical problems prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of your product, your exclusive and sole remedy is either replacement or refund of the price paid, as determined by Apple.
    https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html
    If you have found a developer whose product you have purchased through the iTunes/MAS who will personally give you a refund, more power to you. That is beyond the scope of Apple's policy and between you and the developer only.
    It's time to stop beating a dead horse and move along.

    If I type exactly right the first time, the font is OK. But, if I make a correction or addition, the font resets to "VARIED" size and something other than Cambria. I prefer the look of Cambria or something where the number "1" and capital "I" look different from the lowercase letter "l". Thanks for any help!

    my short answer is press enter 4 or 5 times as soon as you get into the editing area and then use the mouse to move the cursor back to the beginning. Not the best, but certainly the easiest way to gain some control.
