How Do I Get Siri To Show Me The "Now Playing" Screen?

When I'm driving, it's great to be able to push the home button and get Siri to play a playlist or all songs from an artist.
But how do I get her to show me the Now Playing screen? When you say "show me the 'now playing' screen," (or just about anything similar), she searches the Web. That's not what I want. What is the command to get Siri to switch to the iPod "Now Playing" so I don't have to manually tap through to that screen (and take eyes off the road)? This should be simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!

You can let Apple know you want this feature.

I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution. Good job I did.
My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud. So now it’s all there and showing.
Perhaps you could do something similar? In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...

How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
Jimmy
PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

Yes my system is Mac based, and I did locate a Watermark check box in the Print where I was able to install a watermark. However when I open the Edit drop box at the top, does not show a Watermark Edit selection.

How do I get buttons to show at the end of a menu

I have a menu that should be played every time (contains disclaimers, etc) and then there should be a choice of which track to play. How do I either get buttons that ONLY show up at the end--or have the menu automatically go to a next item which only contains a background and the buttons. I thought I had done this a long time ago but cannot remember what I did.

The buttons kept showing throughout the entire menu, no matter what I tried. I ended up doing a wierd setup, where I had the menu jump to a submenu at the end. The submenu then contained the buttons. Also, the tracks will jump back to that same submenu at their ends. Not as clean as I would like it, but it seems to work. I had tried doing a SetLoopPoint chapter marker in FCP, but the DVDSP menu just plain ended at the loop point and would not go into a looping setup.
If anyone has any other ideas, I would love to hear them - I am not pleased with this setup.

How to I get photos to show "in the last week" smart album

The images will not show in this pre-set smart album. They do show in my son's library, but not in mine. As far as I can tell all the settings are the same. What am I doing wrong?

Do you a filter set by any chance? Clear the filter of the Browser by clicking the "x" at the right side of the Search Field. The gray text in the field should say "Unrated or Better".
If that doesn't do it, check the Smart Album settings. Select the Smart Album, then click the magnifying glass. Are the settings what you expect?

How can i get Firefox to show on the whole screen/ it just uses the middle of the screen and not the whole screen Thank you

Certain web sites only use the middle of the monitor screen and do not show all their content on the right

You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

How can I get Firefox to show ALL the pictures of people's profiles once I log onto myspace?

Every time I log onto MySpace, on every profile I go onto to look at, there are at least some if not most of their pictures blank, it won't show me their pictures, even when I look at my profile pictures it won't show most of them, it'll be a blank space when at the top it say picture 34 out of 70 or something. It isn't my computer doing this because google chrome and the other internet program I have show all pictures on myspace.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

How do I get itunes to show what I last played?

Itunes used to show a date when I last played a song. This was very useful for audio books but since one of the updates it is no longer visible. Is it possible to switch it on?

McChris,
The BPM field can be viewed, but it is almost always empty unless you have taken steps to populate it.
You can use a 3rd party tool to perform BPM detection and add it to your iTunes database:

How do I get organizer to show me the pics that are actually in a file??

I am very new to Photoshop. I am trying to organize my phots into files. However something I have done has caused me to see differnt pics in Organizer than I see in the same file in Explorer. I want to see what is actually in a file in Organizer, not what was once in it.

I have included the view I am looking at in the left hand box in Organizer. It is a folders list that sems to match the file structure on my computer. I can right click on any of the folders in this list and I get a pop-up menu with te option to "Reveil in Explorer" . The photo files I see when viewing in Explore do not match the thumbnail photos I see in the center panel of Organizer. I have moved some files around as i organized things and some of that movement does not seem to be recognized in Organizer.
I have included an example. As you can see Explorer has two photos that are not appearing in Organizer. Those picturtes do exist somewhere in anothe "folder" of the tree. So they are in the cataloge, just not where I want them.
