How do I get Siri to use a particular navigation ap?

Right now, when I ask for maps and navigations, she defaults to the Map App that came with the phone. I have a turn-by-turn navigation app I would prefer her to use. Is there a way to change what default programs Siri uses for different things?

OK, thanks. I thought I just wasn't saying the right words. I can stop yelling at my phone to do impossible things now.

How do I get Siri to use AccuWeather instead of Yahoo?

Like it says.
I want Siri to use AccuWeather and not Yahoo Weather.
Is there a place in the settings where I can change that default location?

Actually, Yahoo uses the Weather Channel.
Both on their Website, and on the iPhone and iPad Weather App / Notification Center.
The only way to use Accuweather is to get the Accuweather App.

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.

Is there a way where you can get Siri to use a specific email account to send messages?

I have multiple mail accounts (three) on my phone - work, personal (gmail), and one that's affiliated with a volunteer group. I set them up in that order. When I last sent new message using Siri, it defaulted to use my gmail account. I can't seem to figure out the command to get Siri to use a specific account. Does anyone know how to do this?

I don't know enough about Siri yet, but I would imagine that it links to the email account listed as "Default Account" toward the bottom of the Mail Settings options (Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Default Account).
If true, to link Siri with a different account, you would have to switch the default email account.
Give it a try and let me know if that works?

Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer. The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone. How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility. Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

how do i get siri to send me a reminder in a voice versus calendar
I know I double click to see the icons at the bottom of all the applications that are open and running, but how do I close them so they do not keep using my battery power?
Thanks so much!

You can't. Siri will launch the reminders app when you instruct her to set a reminder.

Tap and hold down on one of the icons in the recents tray and all of the icons will wiggle and they will also have a red minus sign in the upper left corner of the icons. Tap the red minus sign to close the apps. Tap the home button again when you are done.
Almost none of the apps that you will find in the recents tray are actually running and consuming battery power. I only close apps when the iPad starts to act a little funky - simply for troubleshooting purposes. I could have 50 or more apps in the recents tray at any one time. I get about 10 hours of use every day out of a full 100% charge of my new iPad's battery.

How do you get Siri to "remember" a location?

I created a reminder for Siri to remind me of someting when I "get home". It did that but it reminded be about 10 miles away.
How do you get Siri to know/recognize locations such as "home", "work", etc ?

I added my home address to the contact with the apple ID email address used for the App store.

If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
Hmmmmm??? What to do?

You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline. You don't have to use iPhoto.

How can I get Siri to not see some iCal calendars?

When I ask to see my calendar, Siri shows calendars that I want to supress. I have some iCal calendars with misc info (warranties, medicines, etc.) that I turn off in iCal, off on the phone calendar. But Siri shows me (for ex: "19 meetings"" when I ask to see my calendar. How can I get Siri to avoid those calendars I have turned off elsewhere? Thanks!

If it is your own conference bridge you can create a new contact named "My Bridge" and enter your 1800 number along with a "wait" command and pass code and #. It would look something like this 1-800-555-5555;12345678#. This way when you tell Siri to call "My Bridge" she'll dial and then you'll notice an option in the lower left to dial the pass code. Press that and you're all set. You can do the same for frequent conference bridges you connect to. Hope this helps.

How can I get Siri to insert a pause (,) when voice-dialing a number?

I join a lot of conference calls with my iPhone. The conference bridges have phone numbers that follow this pattern:
(123) 456-7890,1234567#
How can I get Siri to insert the pause (,) character, and the pound (hash) sign, into the phone number when voice-dialing?
When I say "pause" Siri inserts the word "pause" as a literal string:
     Example: (123) 456-7890 pause 1234567
When I say "comma" Siri will insert a comma (,) into the dial string, but the Phone app ignores everything after the comma and does not dial it:
     Example: (123) 456-7890, 1234567   results in only this being dialed: (123) 456-7890
When I say "pound" or "hash" Siri inserts the words "pound" or "hash" as literal strings:
     Example: (123) 456-7890, 1234567 pound     instead of (123) 456-7890,1234567#

I've extended java.lang.Thread. How do I get WebLogic to use my version?

I want to add a String attribute to the thread class to save some extra info I need. I extended the Thread class with a private String with getter/setter methods.
Since WebLogic instantiates the threads and not my own code, how do I get WebLogic to use my version of Thread instead of the one from java.lang?
-Bill

I don't think it's possible to have WLS use your own thread implementation for WLS internals. However, for your own custom work, it's pretty straight-forward to use the CommonJ Work Manager API and add your own implementation details for a thread pool.
See documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/e13701/self_tuned.htm#i1069944
WorkManager Javadocs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e13941/index.html?commonj/work/WorkManager.html
Specifically providing your own Work interface implementation should hopefully allow you to meet your need.
