Get Siri to set location reminders (using multiple reminder lists)

I found a way to get Siri to set location reminders using multiple reminder lists (but you can just use one list too):
First make additional lists in the reminder app: click list button (the lines on the left) > edit > create new list > done. Make as many as you want. I have grocery, home, personal, business, family.
Let's say you want a reminder to pick up apples when you get to the apple store. You must add the location in your contacts to your name in contacts.
Do the following:
In maps app find the location with search.
Tap the blue arrow > Add to contacts > Add to existing contact
Choose your name in contacts. It will be added under your address for home or work so you will need to edit it:
Click Edit.
Click on the small label on the left of the new address - it will just say "address"
Scroll to bottom of page and click on Create custom label
Enter the location name like "Apple Store". Click Done.
Important Note: You will need to delete the url it adds under your home url section and maybe other things it messes up with the new contact info instead of yours - so check all the fields each time you do this.
To make a location based reminder using a specific list you must open that list yourself - Siri will not open it for you.
Example:
Open grocery list yourself in the reminders app
Tell Siri something like: "remind me to pick up apples" (Do not mention the location yet - if you do it will not work)
Siri will ask: "When should I remind you?"
Say: "When I get to the apple store"
Siri will say she will remind you and you will see the location reminder in the grocery list.
This is how it works for me but if you know an easier way let me know! This is beta so I'm sure it will get easier.

I have one thing to add. You don't have to open the list manually. Tell Siri: "Add to my <listname> list". For example, if you have a list named "Work", tell Siri: "Add to my work list". Siri will reply, "What should I add to your 'Personal' list?
and you can continue from there.
There is a syntax for doing all this in one sentence, but I find it only works about half the time. Too many fields for Siri to parse in her current Beta stage

Getting Siri to add an entry to a reminder list

Is there a way to get Siri to add an entry to a Reminder list (Shopping in my case) which isn't the default set up in Settings? Obviously normally I want to use the standard 'Reminders' list but not every time.

Yes she can!
"Add milk to my shopping list"
Also
"Show me my shopping list"

Using multiple select lists in ADF

Hi,
I am trying to use a multiple select list in my JSP page, and have a method in the ApplicationModule be called when the Struts action is called. I am following the example ADF tutorials, where the method is added to the ApplicationModule class, then dragged onto the Stuts Flow diagram (to associate it with an action).
I am able to create a dyna form bean for the page that contains the multi select as a type "java.lang.String[]" (string array). I am able get that values that were selected in a normal action's "execute" method. For example:
msf = (DynaActionForm) form;
String[] statusSelection = (String[]) msf.get("multSelectList");
However, I cannot seem to get the "multSelectList" values into a method in my Application Module class. The "multSelectList" is defined in my dynaFormBean as a String[] type. I am passing it in as an argument like the following....
public void setParams(String multSelectList[]) {
This results in the method not being called at all. I am not sure why. Does this have something to do with a String[] not being serializable??
However, if I just attempt to pass other types form items to the method, it works. For example:
public void setParams(String simpleCheckbox) {
Does anyone know how to use multiple select lists in conjunction with ADF?
P.S.
my multSelectList looks something like this:
<select name="multSelectList" multiple size="5">
<option value="ALL">Select All</option>
<option value="preferred">Preferred</option>
<option value="standard">Standard</option>
<option value="approved">Approved</option>
<option value="interim">Interim</option>
</select>

I got this working by changing the signature of the Application Module method to use ArrayList rather than String[], then you can marshal the Struts FormBean contents into an ArrayList to pass up.
To do this, subclass the DataAction by using "Go To Code" off of the context menu and then override the initializeMethodParameters() method:
protected void initializeMethodParameters(DataActionContext actionContext, JUCtrlActionBinding actionBinding)
    //Get the String Array from the Form Bean
    String[] selection = (String[])((DynaActionForm)actionContext.getActionForm()).get("multiSelect");
    //convert that to an ArrayList
    ArrayList selectionArr = new ArrayList( Arrays.asList(selection));
    //Add that object to the Arg List for the AM method
    ArrayList params = new ArrayList();
    params.add(selectionArr);
    actionBinding.setParams(params);
}

How do I get Siri to recognize locations other than home work or other?

Currently, Siri only recognizes locations in my contact that are named work, or home. When I add a custom label, like apartment, and Add a new address with that label, Siri will not recognize that label. Siri will not respond to the question remind me to check my email when I get to my apartment. However, Siri will respond to the question remind me to check my email when I get home. Does anyone know how to get Siri to recognize custom labels?
Thank you.

How do i get siri to set a reminder for a time other than the appt time. For example: I want Siri to remind me at 10:00 pm on Monday that I have a dentist appt. at 9:00 am on Tuesday. She screws up the dates and times no matter what I say

What I can't figure out is how to set a reminder for a time other than the appt time. For example: I want Siri to remind me at 10:00 pm on Monday that I have a dentist appt. at 9:00 am on Tuesday. She screws up the dates and times no matter what I say

"Remind me at 10:00 pm on Monday". Siri: "Ok, just tell me what you want to be reminded about". "I have a dentist appointment on 9:00 am on Tuesday". Siri should set it up correctly.

Setting current values in Multiple Select List in SQL Query based Report

Hi,
I have a report based on a sql query that contains a multiple select list. Unfortunately I cannot get the multiple select list to display the current values (p_value) correctly. I have created a page item, :p311_current_versions, that is set using a pre-header process and it returns a value with a colon delimited format e.g. '10.1.2.1.0:10.1.2.2.0'. Then this item is used in the sql query to set the current value (p_value) of the apex_item.select_list_from_query function. However when the table is displayed, instead of having two entries, 10.1.2.1.0 and 10.1.2.2.0 selected, it has an extra entry '10.1.2.1.0:10.1.2.2.0' selected.
Here is my code:
select distinct a.product, a.version from (
select distinct
apex_item.display_and_save(2,product)||apex_item.hidden(1,env_product_id) PRODUCT,
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,decode(product, 'HTTP Server' , :p311_current_versions, version), 'SELECT distinct version d, version r FROM ebs_tech_stack where
product ='''||PRODUCT||'''',
decode(PRODUCT, 'HTTP Server' ,'multiple="multiple" style="width:170px"','style="width:170px"'),
'NO') as version
from ebs_environment_tech_stack
where environment_id = :p311_umgebung_id) a order by a.product
If anyone can help me figure out how to set the current values correctly I'd be really grateful!!
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Jean,
I don't think this is possible using the apex_item package. The select_list_from_query function accepts only a single value for the second parameter.

How to set up and use multiple Ext HD compatible with Windows w/o emulating

I am in deep doodle and confused, sit down and get a cup of coffee cuz is going to be loooooong.
I need some suggestions for my present situation. I have posted a similar question but I only got partial answer and I need to complete this task.
I migrated to my Mac from Windows, and I still have a Windows XP laptop. At first, I formatted my Ext HD as FAT 32 but I noticed that it was too slow. I was suggested to reformat the drives back to Journal. However, recently I had to replace my internal HD and backed up all my data to several Ext. HD. Oh brother what a mistake, while my Mac was at Apple I couldn't get access to my files using my Windows XP laptop because all drives were formatted as Journal (only for Mac).
At the moment, I have the following:
1- Seagate (350 GB orig)- complete back up images 110 GB avail
2- Maxtor ( 500 GB orig) - " " second copy 330 GB avail
3- Old int w/ casing(150 GB orig) 3rd copy 78 GB avail - is working but not sure if it will last, I had this DR for a long time. All 3 DRs formatted as Journal
4- Western Dig 1TB (new FW) 1TB avail
I realized that at the rate that I am shooting I would be running out of space on the current Drives. So I bought 1TB Ext HD FW, but I am in great need from others with more experience than me in setting up a strategy to back up and using my Ext HD. I only use the Int. HD DR 250 GB for Apps only, anything else I use exclusively my Ext HD.
So I would like to know which drive should I use as my primary one, and how I should set up the other subsequent drives as shown above. Do you think that I should reformat all the drives back to FAT 32, (what a task)? I'm also aware the 4 GB limitations. Or should I just format to FAT 32 the 1 TB, and can I partition the this drive and Format each partition with different format,ie. a couple NTFS and one FAT32.
Thanks in advance to all

You can also share a printer between the Mac/PC as well as files and mounted Volumes, see the Tiger articles here
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/
You may want to use Bonjour for Windows on your PC
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bonjour/
Then there are VNC clients for Mac/PC that also allow you to actually control the other machine, if they aren't in the same room and you just need to check something quick that can be handy, it's kind of slow though for regular use.
The main benefit of partitioning is being able to have different versions of bootable OS on them. You can try out Leopard on a new partition, while keeping your Tiger partition intact, you can have a XP/Vista partition for parallels or BootCamp, etc... other than that drives are pretty much fast enough, having smaller partitions probably won't realize any significant speed ups over searching the whole large drive.

I installed on my computer the other SSD hard drive, and now'd like to install Photoshop and Lightroom that station and I do not the C drive. How do I get exchanged the installation location when using your Creative Cloud in your program.

Photoshop is installed on your C partition and how to get it installed on another partition now!

Heinonen Petri you can customize the installation location within the preferences for the Creative Cloud desktop application. Please be aware that the Creative Cloud desktop application and many shared components will always need to be installed to the primary drive containing the operating system.
For additional details on how to customize the installation location please see Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps.

Get -3256 error when trying to use "multiple speakers" in iTunes

I have had a LOT of Airport problems since switching to Leopard. For the moment, the Airport does seem to now work. I use an Airport Extreme 802.11n, and an Airport Express using WDS. I had a TON of problems with my MBP connecting, running great, then slowly losing bandwidth. For the moment, all is working. The next hassle was that my formerly working WDS stopped working. Now, the base station says WDS is happy. iTunes show the Airport Express is available to broadcast to.
It lets me select multiple speakers, but then gives and error -3256.

I think that I just solved your multiple speaker issue in another post; check out: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5765343&#5765343. Hope this solution works for you too.

I can't set location reminders on my iphone, it says "Your calendar service, which keeps track of your reminders, doesn't allow location-based reminders"

"Your calendar service, which keeps track of your reminders, doesn't allow location-based reminders"
How do i fix this? my reminders location is on, but still cant do it....

Solution.
Since the change from google maps to apple maps. It is now necessary to go to your details in contacts, select your home address, maps appear now select by tapping on a road next to your home, a new pin appears saying dropped pin, click the arrow then add to contacts, add to existing, select yourself, then edit, delete the old home address then change the new one to read home. Do for other stored addresses. Works just fine now with siri

Multiple people using multiple select list

Hi,
First of all, let me congratulate Oracle HTML DB for bringing such a great product. It is extremely powerful, and useful.
I have multiple people using a form which has multiple selects in it and calls an Oracle report. I looked at couple of examples and I couldnt understand how IDs work in this scenario. It is not clear if I need to create an id on HTML DB side or on the Oracle reports side or at the database level. Obviously, if people delete or select each others selected parameters, it is a big issue. Could you please explain me about how this is achieved.

The touch ID is only for accessing the device, no log is kept, and no apps can access its details.
You can create multiple fingerprints within a single device so more than 1 person could access it, but there is no detail of who accessed it or when.
You may be better served looking at a portable time clock device that uses RFID cards for login and out or similar to this

Select Lists - Setting and Referencing (Using) the Select List variable

I have (a login page and) 3 application pages (call them Day, Week, Month), each with similar selection lists and a chart. I have three requirements.
1) When a new selection is made, the value of the selection list variable is updated --that is, it does what select lists do.
2) I need to set the value of the Month selection list variable before the Month page is rendered for the first time -- I need to give it an initial value.
3) When navigating from page to page, say from Month to Week or Day back to Month, I need to have the value of the selection list variable carried to the new page from the value on the previous page.
It sounds simple to me -- something that one could do with an (global) application item. The logic would be like
IF :Page_Name_Flag = 'Week' THEN -- staying on the Week page
SELECT :WK_SelectList_Name INTO :GLOBAL_SelectList_Name FROM DUAL
ELSE -- new pass on this page
SELECT :GLOBAL_SelectList_Name INTO :WK_SelectList_Name FROM DUAL
SELECT 'Week' INTO :Page_Name_Flag
END IF;But that doesn't work for me. The page's select list variable seems to be NULL sometimes causing the value of :GLOBAL_SelectList_Name to be set to null. Other times, the copy from the global variable to page select list varable doesn't seem to change the page select list variable.
At http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43250:101 (guest/Ima9Gue8t) is an example where I have each page's select list working (except on the initial visit to the page, where the select variable is null!!!). How can I get the select list value on the new page to sync with the value from the previous page?
Thanks,
Howard

I'm closing this because I got it to work. In the end, it worked as I had described above. There was some setting of the Select List variable, that I now have correct, that was incorrect before. I wonder what it was?

IOS 6: can't get Siri geofences to work at all (parents, home)

I’ve read many online examples of people setting up a geofence reminder for then they reach a location identified as “mom” or “dad” or “parent”. I know you have to set up a known location (like a parent or your own "home"/"work") but it still won't work for me on my iPhone 5 (my first Siri device).
I have told Siri who my “mother” and “father” are, and that seems to have been understood successfully. (I see that info in my Contacts, and when I tell Siri the info again, it tells me it already knows that ___ is my mother.)
Here’s what happens every time:
1. I ask it to remind me of something when I reach my mom’s.
2. It understands this just fine: it asks if I want her work or home address (odd, but OK). I tap or say "home." So far so good.
3. Then it asks me WHEN I want to be reminded! Suddenly the geofence idea is abandoned and it thinks I’m doing a timed reminder.
If I refuse to give a day+time, I can instead say “when I reach my mom’s,” which Siri seems to understand: it asks yet again for me to choose my mom’s home vs. work. I choose “home” and Siri goes back to asking me the useless “when” question again. Endless loop. No reminder set.
But then today it's even worse: now it either goes straight to the "when question" without any attempt to understand to the location, OR it knows this is a geofence reminder, but simply says my parents’ address isn’t set. But it IS set—and Siri has properly mapped it for me in the past! When I try to re-teach Siri “My mother is _____” it says that it already knows that. So it HAS all the needed info, yet it tells me it does not.
For comparison, I AM able to get Siri to set a Geofence successfully for my own home. I can look in Reminders and see that my request has worked. (But the reminder never comes: I get home and it never gets triggered. But that's a whole separate bug.)
I've reported this to Apple via Feedback, but if anyone has a workaround to make Siri do ANYTHING with Geofences, I'd find it very useful! Thanks.

Short answer, use the apex_util.string_to_table to convert to a table; then you can either iterate through the table to generate a string of names, or accomplish the same with a bulk operation.

Encapsulate all this within a pl/sql function.
