Call anyone in your contacts using Siri without unlocking the iPhone
Not sure if this is a known bug but today I tried calling any contact from my friends mobile with out unlocking it.
1. Phone is locked
2. Open siri
3. "call Richard"
4. It started ringing Richard Stewart mobile.
In second instance
1. Phone is locked
2. Open Siri
3. "Call Ram"
4. Siri returned me two contact "Ram sir" or "Ram Mohan"
5. I select "Ram Sir"
6. It started rining the mobile number of "Ram sir"
Also I tried to create a calendar event using Siri. It created a calendar event and it also showed me all the events scheduled in the calendar for that day with out unlocking the mobile. It showed birthday reminders and also few personal events scheduled in the calendar. Is that expected?
It is a setting as to whether to let Siri have access when the device is locked. That is stricly up to the user, since it is not your phone.

After installing iOS 5.1 I can no longer call people with Siri without unlocking the phone
Is this an intended change of behavior? How can I get this functionality back? I was using it all the time. Now I have to dig my phone out of my pocket and unlock it to make a call even if I am using a handsfree headset.
That was the first thing I tried. I then spent several minutes hunting through menus for any kind of new option. I didn't find any, and the one you suggested was already on and doesn't seem to work.

I am thinking that it would be a real enhancement (although I hope I would never actually need it) to have an ICE entry that is available without unlocking my phone. I use a passcode on my phone so if I were incapacitated in some way it would be good if emergency responders could get to my ICE entry. Ideally it would also have a place to list meds that I take and any important medical conditions that might be relevant. Obviously, not everyone would want to list this stuff in a way that could be access by unauthorized people, but many (maybe most) people would really benefit from it. For example, if I had high blood pressure and was taking meds for it, that might be sometheng that an EMT or ER Doctor might want to know before treating me. Lots of people wear medical id tags but this would be better, I think.
You could put an ICE number on your Lock Screen Wallpaper. The finder could then call that number from another phone.
I have this on my Lock Screen Wallpaper... "This iPhone belongs to xxxx xxxx. If found, please call xxx-xxx-xxxx". I created it using the Notes app, took a screenshot and then selected that as my wallpaper. -
Anyone figured out a way to use JWS without needing the MIME type preloaded
Anyone figured out a way to use JWS without needing the MIME type preloaded on the client's computer?
Why is it not server-side loading? How can I force a load of JWS and the MIME-type?when you install web start, the mime type jnlp is associated with WEBstart.
The WEB start home page has code to request an
install if web start is not on the user system.
On the web server, of course you need to specify the association between a
.jnlp file and the mime type. This is in the configuration of the server.
It would be nice if standard ISP's provided that for user directories.
Anyone think AOL would do this?
After all it should not cost anything like installing servlets. -
Is there a way to program an ICE (in case of emergency) number that is accessible without unlocking the phone? Not 911, but a family member in my contacts?
you can now set up an Emergency Contact in 'Medical ID' in the Healh app. When someone goes to the lock screen and switched to the Emergency call, they can click on the link Medical ID and then contact your emergency person. It also lists your age, allergies, and illnesses if you need it to.

Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?
I want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without all the bloat?
Yes and no. Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers. That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards. In the process, the code is minimized a bit. Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.) -
I am using a Mac OS X 10.7 and i have trouble using idvd. If I buy a previous version of ilife, will I be able to use idvd without affecting the settings of Mac OS X 10.7? Can both versions of ilife run on the same mac?
You don't need to buy an earlier version of iDVD to have it run with Lion. iDVD 7 has been with us since iLife 08. Tell us in detail what you're experiencing.

IS O&G - is it possible to use MPL without activating the ECC- DIMP?
Hi
We are an Oil and Gas industry and activated IS oil and gas in ECC6.0, our requirement is to use functionality such as Master Parts list which is there in ECC-DIMP under configuration control, as some companies within same group where MPL is required .
The question is it possible to use MPL without activating the ECC- DIMP
Request you to please help us to understand.
RegardsHi Venkat,
If a report is created over a DSO, it pulls data from the active table of a DSO. So as suggested in all the posts above it is not possiable to report on the DSO without activating it.
Activation of DSO only allows to generate SID's to link transaction data and master data, SID's could also be generated at the time of reporting (When the report fetches data from BI server, but for the SID generation data is needed in active table). Also activation checks the correctness of data etc.
Could you please let know why you want to report on the unactive request, is it having some problem with activation?
Regards,

Hi, anyone knows how to using airdrop between mac and iPhone 5? My mac was using mavericks and my iPhone was using OS 7. There is airdrop icon in my mac. And already on. But it is searching constantly. Even my airdrop in iPhone already on for everyone.
Yes, you can use it for Mac computer > Mac computer or iDevice > iDevice. It's because they have different operating systems.

Here is my situation. I am leaving the country on business in a month. Since it is pretty doubtful that an unlocked iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order tomorrow, I'll be buying one at full price under my verizon account (not due for an upgrade yet). Verizon currently SIM Unlocks the iPhone 4S if you meet certain requirements (account in good standing, active 60 days, phone activated on account, etc.) so you can use your iPhone abroad with a local carrier there for cheaper rates. Does anyone think Verizon will do this same procedure for the new iPhone 5? I understand that my new iPhone may not have 4G LTE capability abroad due to hardware limitations on different carrier models, however all new iPhone 5 models have quad band GSM/EDGE and 3G. Would I be able to use this feature if Verizon unlocked my iPhone? It should be noted I am not trying to unlock to use my phone on Tmobile or another US carrier, as with the 4S carriers put a block on this even for unlocked Verizon models. I am looking at this from the standpoint of a traveling business user (and I think there are a lot out there wondering the same thing). Nonetheless I will be preordering the iPhone 5 from Verizon and on release day I will call them and ask if they will unlock it. If they don't I will return it. I'll update my findings here for anyone else curious about this as well.
Egilbbys21... I am curious how things worked out with getting a nano SIM and your iPhone 5. Our family will be visiting Manila this summer, and I would like to hear a first-hand account about your phone experiences. Do you purchase minutes for call/texting? What about data? Any feedback you can give from your trip regarding your iPhone usage would be helpful. Thanks!

Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue. -
my iphone's memory is near capacity from photo albums sync'ed with my mac and I haven't found out how to delete select albums to free up memory without wiping the iphone. Any suggestions??
You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

Pager app that can be viewed without unlocking the phone
I am looking for a pager app where the pages can be viewed without a person unlocking the phone or knowing the passcode to unlock. A doctor I work for wants his pages to come through to hs phone, but he doesn't want the nurses and others who check the pages for him to be able to go through his phone and see his personal information such as texts and emails. Is there any kind of app that would allow viewing of only the pages sent to him without unlocking the phone and giving multiple people access to any information in the phone? Currently, he just carries a pager as well as his phone which is not ideal. Thank you!
Hey guy;
I have the same problem and I do anything you can imagine. If you leave your phone about two or three days and after that plug in it your phone will be power on but your problem doesn't fix. I tried to restore as a new phone, reset all my settings and also I contacted Apple Support but I couldn't fix it. I think that it would be a software issue because it occurred right after iOS 6.1.3 update. It look likes that we have only two choice. First choice is waiting until Apple release next iOS update and check it in our phones, and the other choice is visiting an Apple retail store to diagnostic our phones for hardware issue. -
I have set up my new iPhone 4 to sync with my MacBook Pro using iCloud as default. This works fine with Calendars on iCal in both directions. However, I am struggling with Contacts because new entries on the iPhone appear on my Mac's Address Book fine but erratically the other way. New entries on the Mac seem to appear OK on the iPhone but edits to existing accounts do not appear. Also, many entries were missing when I imported the main list from Mac to iPhone but that was done by cable through iTunes before setting up iCloud.
Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
