How do you say "Directions" to Siri?

How do you say "directions" to Siri?  No matter how I say it, Siri will say "I'm sorry Peter, but I don't know what you mean by "direct actions"". Or, Siri will say "I'm sorry Peter but I don't know what you mean by "diet actions"".
Here is another one.  How do you say "airport"?  Siri thinks that I am saying Apple.  So, if I ask "give me directions to the airport" it will give me directions to Apple in Cupertino.
I know that Siri is STILL in beta, but come on!  I cannot even go to an Apple store with this, because I am using T-Mobile (I've had an unlocked iPhone 5 since the day it was released, last November) and Apple stores are surrounded by aluminium and they do not yet have the T-Mobile repeater!

Hey pforkes,
We have a troubleshooting article for Siri that you can find here:
iOS: Troubleshooting Siri
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
I'd take a look at the section titled "Ensure that Siri can clearly hear you," which might help you out. We also have a more general About Siri article that provides some tips for using it.
Hope that helps,
David

  • How do you monitor direct through hardware?

    Hello,
    I am experiencing popping sounds when I record in a very simple setup and just want to monitor direct through my Motu Traveler. This will allow me to keep latency to a minimum and my buffer size relatively low.
    Can you advise me how to engage this option on Logic 7??
    Is it via 'Software Monitoring'??
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Can you advise me how to engage this option on Logic 7??
    First you have to deactivate "Software Monitoring" in Logic.
    There must be an extra software by MotU for adjusting direct monitoring.
    Don't know the name. Look in your Applications folder.

  • How do you say it? Like "multi language only in the black level/plate"

    hello, I'm trying to find the best words to describe a feature of our new database publishing solution.
    The features is called: CMY+nK
    You need it when you are really committed to savings in a large print job.
    With http://pagination.com you can easily plan the production of your multilanguage documents as a process unifying a single batch print of the color plates (CMY) and one black plate for each language (nK). In this case, the reduced number of plates and the lower portion of time the operators in the print shop spend switching plates and handling the paper generate savings.
    Do you think these words are clear, or do you refer to the topic with other words?

    What you are describing is “versioning” by use of language-dependent content on the K (black) plate, typically implemented in PDF by use of layers in both your original content as well as in your generated PDF. The first pass you print CMY only. The second pass you print K-only for both the common layer (always on) and the particular version or edition you want, in your example that being based on language. This is a fairly common print practice. However, it requires extreme discipline in the layout of your source document.

  • How do you download pictures from a compact flash

    If my camera uses a compact flash card how do you download directly to the iPad, say when you are traveling to empty your cards as you go?

    I agree with King_Penguin about not deleting photos, but would want to copy images to the iPad as a backup if that were possible.  I'd try a Compact Flash-to-USB adapter with the Camera Connection Kit, to see if it would work.
    Even if it did, I'd want to have enough CF cards to hold all my pictures.  Cards are cheaper than vacations!
    Fred
    Also in agreement.  My philosophy is to use a large quantity of low-capacity cards.  That way, if the card itself fails (hasn't yet), I won't lose everything.

    Retail Leopard disc looks like this;
    (The disc itself has the same logo). If the one you've got is grey it simply won't work.
    Given the retail and second hand prices of Leopard (usually some on Amazon MP), you'll probably find it cheaper to go directly to Snow Leopard, although there could be software updates and printer driver problems that could nullify the difference.

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

  • SPA9000 How do you direct SIP to FXS port?

    How do you point a SIP account to the #1 FXS port on the SPA9000? I have a separate SIP account for my fax machine and need to point it to the analog FXS port.
    Thanks

    When you say “Line Tabs” do you mean where you configureLine 1-4? So if Line 1 is set for ITSP and Line 2 is the SPA400, I should useLine 3 for Fax? Then under ‘Line 3’ I should configure the User ID, Password,and Proxy like we did on the ITSP page except for the Fax SIP account?
    Then change “Subscriber Information -> Contact list” to202. Then on the FXS 2 tab we should configure: User ID=202
    Does this look correct?
    What if we have two DID numbers associated with a single SIPaccount? Can we still direct one of the DID’s to the FXS 2 port?

  • How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

    How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success!  Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion.  While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post.  A suggestion in that direction would help.
    Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media.  It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD".  A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV.  Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago.  I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems.  There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
    If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

    I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    If you mean Siri then that is only on the iPad 3, it is not on the iPad 2 in iOS 6 (possibly because the iPad 2 doesn't have the Audience chip which the iPad 3 does). If there are other things that you think are missing (YouTube has been removed, and Passbooks is iPhone and iPod Touch only) ?
