How to teach Siri where my Home is.

I want to have Siri remind me of something when I arrive at Home.
Problem is my address is not in the maps database. I've tried several things but so far non have worked. Here's what I've tried:
1. I entered my address as Home in my Contacts app. When I tap on the address the maps app shows an incorrect location.
2. I used the Maps app to drop a pin on my current location (when I was home). I then tapped on the blue arrow and select to add this location to an existing contact. I selected my contact. But when I tapped on that address in my Contacts app I was taken to a location on the Maps app that was far from where I dropped the pin.
3. I searched these forums for a solution and found several fairly old threads. None of the suggestions worked for me.
I'm using iOS 6.1.2 on my iPhone 5.

Have you sent an error report using apple maps to correct the problem with your address? That is the only way things get fixed if you report them. You can do it by clicking on the turned up page edge in the bottom right corner of the screen and then clicking on report problem.

How to teach siri names of companies and towns?

Hello all,
several year ago, sombody asked the same question without any reply. (see here: How can I teach Siri on iPhone 4S to understand names of towns or companies?)
Maybe it's now possible to teach Siri how to pronounce the names of companies and towns. But i have no idea how. I know how to teach the names of a person, but obviously it's not possibile to teach other names.
Thanks for any help
Greeting

Ajit, I would choose a different way although your solution is working it will take a lot of time to edit all the buttons. Whenever possible I try to offer timesaving tips. And that means: first see what you can edit in Preferences (for this project alone or for all projects), then look at the Master slides, and only in last instance go into editing of the slides themselves. Hope you don't mind this remark, after all I'm only a user.
@jun jun This works only if you do it before inserting question slides. Go into Quiz, Preferences, Default Labels. You will find there the labels for the buttons Submit, Submit All, Clear, Back, Next. You have to be aware that the Next button doubles as a Skip button during the Quiz, it is acting as a Next button (and necessary) during Review. More info: Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
The advantage of adjusting the Preferences is that this will propagate on the different Quiz Master slides.
For the text 'Accuracy' and other text fields on the score slide, edit the labels on the Master slide for the score.

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

How can I teach siri to pronounce my name?

My last name is pronounced with a long "a" like in "baker." How can I train Siri to not pronounce it like "backer?"
I've tried adding the phoenetic field to my contact record but that just messes up the sort order of the records. Plus, can't I teach Siri once and not have to do this for my entire family?

I agree. This is an unacceptable problem (AKA Bug) that needs addressed (AKA fixed) ASAP (AKA immediately).
It is bad enough that it actually shows you (the person who already knows how to pronounce it) the phonetic spelling, but that is mistakenly uses it for sort order is utterly frustrating and unacceptable.
Note to APPLE . . . Hey smart guys . . . FIX THIS NOW!

HT204389 How do I teach Siri to spell my name correctly in texts and emails? She spells it Jerry instead of Jeri.

How do I teach Siri to SPELL my name correctly in texts and emails? She knows who I am from My a Info. She insists on spelling my name as he male version instead of female (or my info spellng).

Say:
"No space on. No caps on. s h e r i
No space off. No caps off."
That would start her name with a lower case a.
But you can play around starting there to get it the way you like.

"phonetic name", wi-fi, 3G, teaching Siri, 4s battery (???)

Hi.
I have an iphone 4s and i'm not being able to add a phonetical name to an existing contact on my contacts list.
i select the contact, click on edit, and then on add field, but the "phonetical" thing does not appear.
Does anybody know how to solve this? Or what might be wrong?
Another questions...
my wi-fi at home is much slower than my 3G. Is that normal? Because when i'm at home and i want to use the wi-fi, it's too slow... It is just too annoying...!!
How can i teach Siri, to make her understand what i say, correctly?
Thank you guys! Sorry for the amount of doubts!
ps. i'm also having problems with the 4s battery, and hoping Apple solve this issue soon! Fingers crossed!

well, my wi-fi modem is only connected to my computer by a cable. and i don't share the signal with anyone else.
the bandwidth on the computer it is quite fast, so i find it very strange that the 3G is faster then the wi-fi.
finally i could find an answer on the phonetic name here on the forum...!!
as for the battery, i already did the most of the things being taught on the forum to maximize its life. but its such a shame....
thanks for the peply!

I just got the iphone 4s and i cant figure out how to get siri to work it seems to be the old voice command. HELP!

Did you enable Siri in settings?
Settings > General > Siri > ON
If Siri is off, all you get when pressing the home button for 1 second is the old Voice Control.

How does the JRE determine java.home?

I recently upgraded from jre 1.4.1 to 1.4.2.
I'm having problems with applets, and I've traced the problem to the fact that java.home still points to the old JRE directory. Here is a line from the system properties dump in the java console:
java.home = C:\PROGRA~1\Java\J2RE14~1.2_0
That directory doesn't exist anymore. The directory that contains the jre is now c:\program files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01.
I properly uninstalled 1.4.1, and I've tried uninstalling everything java related, manually deleting everything I can find (files, folders, registry settings) related to java or sun, and reinstalling, and this problem is still there.
I've also tried setting the property in the JAVA_HOME environment variable as well as setting it as a runtime option in the java control panel ( -Djava.home=. . .). No dice.
How does the JRE determine java.home? Is there a way to manually set the path?

Check regedit with the oldvalueThanks -- I tried that. The old value is not in the registry, and all of the registry settings for java.home point to the correct directory. The java.home value that ends up inside the plugin must be determined some other way (at least in 1.4.2).
If anyone out there knows where it comes from, please let me know!
Thanks.

How to get Siri to find more specific things

This may or may not need to go to Apple feedback, and if it does, sorry.
I also admit I may be asking a lot. Yet, here we go.
Ok, as a sports writer who covers NHL hockey, it's super handy for me to use Siri to find stats really quickly. I love that I can just ask "Who leads the Hurricanes in total points?" and boom, there it is. Or get standings imediately. Indespensible to the point that I am seriously considering writing my 5s off as a business expense. True story.
However... Siri has limits. There's stats like all time record against certain teams, who leads teams or the league in more specific stats, and especially projected lineups. I'd looooove to be able to ask Siri "Who's starting in goal for the Bruins tonight?" and get an answer boom right there.
Is learning how to find more specific items a thing Siri can do, and if so, how would I go about teaching Siri this skill? This is information readily available online, but having Siri fetch it would be fifty shades of awesome.
Is this possible, or am I just asking way too much?

It is not possible.

How do I remove the floating home button from my phone?

How do I remove the floating home button from my iPhone 4? It was originally installed by the Apple Genius Bar because my home button was not working, but I have now bought a replacement iPhone 4 (where the home button works) and I still have the floating home button on the screen. I would like to remove it considering its no longer needed.

Select the "Dot", then "Gestures", chose a Gesture Square, Assistive Touch, Off.

How can I get my own home movies into the Video app in iOS 5

How can I get my own home movies to be visible in the Video app in iOS 5.
where do I place them and what format does iPhone want it to be in?
thanks

Thanks for this info Johnathan, it answers part of my question about format.
I also want the videos I'm transfering to be visible in the "Video" app on my iPhone (I dont have an iPad, Yet. )
Right now, in order to see my videos I have to share iPhoto albums/etc.. from within iTunes. this mixes them up within the "Photo" app. Don't get me wrong, that is great, at least I can see them there in an album I made for "Home Movies". but I would like to know if there is a way to make them visible to the "Video" app which has catagories like "Podcast" & "Music Videos".
I'd lke to add a "Home Movies" catagory there and
Has anyone out there done this?
Ance again, thanks for the info

HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing? My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93061
I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
And by the way I tried this one
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I have rented a movie on my ipad. It did not download due to not being on wifi at the time. I know I completed the rental because my gift card balance went down $3.99 plus tax. How do I find where to download the movie?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App
