How do I make my iPhone reminders the default where Siri puts my reminders?

By default when I use Siri to add a reminder it puts it under my MS Exchange reminder list, which is no good because location based reminders don't work with MS Exchange. Here's what I tried (unsuccessfully) to fix the problem:
In Reminders I tapped the top left icon to get a summary of my different reminder lists. I noticed a check mark next to the MS Exchange reminder list so I tapped next to the Reminders list displayed under "On my iPhone" and the check mark moved to there from it's prior MS Exchange reminder location. Next I locked my phone and then used Siri to add a location based reminder and when I went back to the reminders app it was again still listed under my MS exchange reminder list.
Please help!

Thanks! Apple really should update the display list in general settings. The fact that there are options to modify reminder settings is buried pretty deep within the list of general setting sub-lists. Glad you found what I couldn't on my cursory search.

For Snow Leopard and below (don't know for Lion) there is a free preference pane called RCDefaultApp that has all your file associations in one easy to manage location, includes tons of stuff, even controlling what gets opened when you click a link on a web page. Webcam and other associations. The Get Info method also works for your immediate need.

How do you make report selection variant the default selection varaint?

Hello all,
I know how to create a Selection Variant for reoprts and I know how to create a User Variable that defaullts field values for a specific user. But can anyone tell me how do you have a specific Report Selection Variant Default for everyone? I know this one is probably staring right at me but I'm not seeing it. Your help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Bhatia,
That will only hold the data for that specific user. You can also do that via "user variables". What I would like to know is how do you get it to be the default for All users.
I am investigating the possibility of using t-code SE38 and changing the Values on the existing variants to contain the default data we'd like to see. I'd much rather create just one Variant per report and have that be the default variant.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

How can I make folder View Options the default in Snow Leopard?

Hi everybody! Here I am, learning to Mac!
When I do a secondary click on an open folder's background and click on +show visualization options+ (actually, +mostrar opciones de visualización+ in spanish), there's an option +set as default+ ( +ajustes por omisión+ ) which, as far as I understood, should change all the rest folder's aspect, as icon's size, font size, background image and so on... but all the rest folder's aspect keep being shown as before, just the folder where I am working changes.
My questions are: if I am wrong with the use of that "ajustes por omisión", what is it for? And how can I personalize the aspect of all folders on my mac?
Thanks for your help

It's "show view options" in English. Also obtained by typing CMD+J
Those only apply to the top-level folder. Each folder you open uses whatever you've elected to use as the defaults. Select a folder, CMD+J, set the view as you desire, click on Use as Default button. That setting will be used for all windows that you open in the future that have never been opened previously. All other windows that you opened will retain whatever view you previously selected for them.
If you want to reset everything to one view, close all open Finder windows, launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up,
find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, open a Finder window, CMD+J, set up the view options as desired, click the Use as Defaults button, and close the view options window. Now, every Finder window you open will have this view.

How can I make my iPhone leave a copy of e-mails on my server.

I have a BT internet account which I use with my PC and my iPad. The iPad is set to leave all messages on my server for subsequent download to my PC on which I keep a copy of all messages. I have now got an iPhone but I cannot select it to do the same. So when I read a message on my iPhone it is deleted and I cannot download it and deal with it later on my PC.
How do I make my iPhone leave the message on the server? The selections options are not the same for the iPad and iPhone, even though both use IOS 7.0.4

Chris,
         Thanks for your reply. I am indeed using an IMAP account on my iPhone, but the problem is that I am using the same account on both my iPad and my new iPhone, both using the same ios. .
   When on the iPad I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account, I get a pop-up overlay on which there is an Advanced option which takes me to a page where I can select an option under the Incoming Settings section to 'Delete from Server' on which I have selected 'Never' (The Server Port is 110).
When on iPhone, and I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account, I get a similar page but when I select Advanced I get where the Advanced option appears in the iPad under the Incoming Settings , ther is simply a statement saying 'IMAP Path Prefix /', and the server port is 143.
   Any suggestions, please?

Hello estebie67,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,
Matt M.

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth not discoverable

How do i make my iphone 5 bluetooth feature "not" discoverable so that my phone is secure from hacking while i am in public and the bluetooth feature is turned on.

The iPhone can only be discovered when you are in the Bluetooth menu at Settings > Bluetooth. You'll see under Devices it shows Now Discoverable.
If you are not at this menu, it is not discoverable anmd it will not show up on other devices.
Simply having BlueTooth on does not make it discoverable.

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

How do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer

how do I make it so that the one computer that has the main itunes account on it be used on other computers, when it comes to backing up phones and not deleting data off of phone that isnt on that computer itunes becasse its all on the one main computer. Baiscally the problem is that one comuter and one account has always been sued for eey persons itunes. Now if we want to be able to backup and use itunes on our own computers fro our iphones and such, how will all he data that is on our phones not be deleted once its plugged into a new computer? Also, is theere a way to get all the stuff on thw current itunes onto each computer, via differtn account name?

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

How do I make my iPhone connect to my Mac and sync my apps from my phone to my computer?

I recently switched my iPhone account to a new computer, and I can't figure out how to make my computer recognize my apps on my phone. I have a new email that i use for my iTunes stuff and it works, but on my phone it doesn't recognize the new email and it shows the old email and asks for the password, but even my old password doesn't work. I'm so frustrated How can I make my phone change the old email to the new one? The only problem is for the App Store. Thank you

You have made your situation complicated by creating a new Apple ID. As stated, you can only authorize and update content from the iTunes and Mac App Stores with the Apple ID that was used to acquire it. You will indeed need to maintain the old Apple ID if you do not wish to lose all previously acquired content.
To get the apps and other content on your iPhone to your new computer, you need to transfer purchases from the iPhone to the new computer before you sync the new computer and the iPhone. If you sync the iPhone without first transferring the purchases you may lose all the previously acquired apps that are on the iPhone. After opening the iTunes app on the computer connect the iPhone to the computer. Do not let the iPhone sync with the computer. Highlight the iPhone in the devices list and then choose Transfer purchases from the iTunes app's File menu.
In order to use these apps that you have transfered from the iPhone to the new computer, you will need to Authorize the new computer to use the content from the old Apple ID. You authorize the computer to use this content from the iTunes app's Store menu. You can use content from different Apple IDs on the same computer.

How do i make new folders in the photo files

how do i make new folders in the camera on the i phone

If you are syncing from a folder on your PC, drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
If you are syncing from a photo application on your PC, use it to create albums and then select those albums to sync.

Contact Apple Support by phone or make an appointment to visit with an Apple Genius Bar Advisor at an Apple Retail Store. They will take a look at the iPhone and make a determination about the battery. They have a diagnostic program that can fully determine the condition of the battery and then tell you your options for getting things working again.
