HT1430 How do you make Siri stop talking?

My daughter has some how made Siri tell every move that is made on the ipod. "Slide to unlock. Screen locked" She tells me the time. I am unable to go into settings and slide the menu further down beyond what can be seen when it first opens because each touch tells what I am touching rather than moving. I have tried resetting it. No luck.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • How can I make siri stop talking when texting?

    If I'm texting and I misspell a word, siri will correct the word and speak at the same time (Extremely annoying!). Help!

    I think what you should try is Settings>General>Accessibility>Vision>Speak Auto-text>Off.

  • How do you make it stop increasing numbers/letters automatically???

    If I want to drag up or down to copy text or numbers from one cell to another the program automatically increases the number by one or the letter by the next letter. Drag 1 and it increases the next entry to 2, drag a and it changes the next letter to b. How do you stop it from doing this?
    Thanks

    Your value is incrementing because it's a member of the first set as described in my post: "text strings ending in a number"
    You can prevent the increment by any of the following actions:
    Enter "11x14" (no quotes) in each of the top two cells. Select both, then drag the Fill control to fill down.
    Enter ="11x14" (with the quotes) in the top cell of the column. Fill down.
    Enter " 11x14 " (no quotes, but do include the space after 14 if the cells will have text aligned left, or both spaces if the cells will have text centered) in the top cell. Fill Down
    Include the inch symbols in your entry in the first cell: 11"x14"  Fill down.
    This sets a zero increment. The value still increments, but the increment is zero.
    Each value is set by the equation. When all are set, you may find the table's speed improves if you then Copy the whole column, then go Edit > Paste Values to eliminate the need to constantly recalculate the formulas.
    Seemed like something that should work (it's the same technique as used in #4), but the spaces are stripped when the value is filled into the next row, even if non-breaking spaces (option-space) are used. Pity.
    This works as the text string no longer ends with a number. Several other characters could be used, but not a space, a period ('decimal'), or anything else that would let Numbers interpret the end f his text string as a number.
    With 25 000 rows to fill, I would not use the Fill control to do the filling. It's going to get awfully slow and tedious.
    Fortunately, it's not the only method to fill a column with the same value.
    With #2 or #4, you can:
    Enter the value in the first cell.
    Click on the column reference tab to select the entire column.
    Commmand-click on any cells above the one in which you put the value to remove them, one at a time, from the selection.
    With the cell containing the value and all cells below it selected, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    for #2 only, with all cells now containing the formula still selected, Copy
    Go Edit > Paste Values
    The above steps won't work with #1, and Fill Down fills only the contents of the cell at the top of the column, and the value will increment as it's filled.
    For #1, #2 or #4:
    Enter the value in the first two cells.
    Select both cells and Copy
    Click on the column reference tab to select the entire column.
    Commmand-click on any cells above the one in which you put the value to remove them, one at a time, from the selection.
    With the two cells containing the value and all cells below them selected, Paste.
    For #2, continue with the two extra steps above.
    "Let's see 14" + 26037" =... Well surely you can see how expensive the frame is going to be?"
    The frame? The mat itself is going to be expensive enough. I've never seen a piece of mat material over 650 metres long!
    One more thing...
    Before you commit to doing this with Numbers, I'd suggest making a dummy table with the number of rows of data you expect to reach.
    The easiest and most efficient way to do that is to
    fill in one full row of data, Then fill that down to the end of your initial table.
    then..
    Click on a cell in the bottom row, Select All and Copy.
    Add a row, click in it's first cell, Paste
    Scroll to the bottom of the table.
    Repeat the above three steps until you have about 20 000 rows.
    Now check the speed of data entry as you add another 'real' record to the table..
    Numbers tends to be pretty pokey with large tables, especially if those tables include (multiple) Header rows and columns or Footer rows.
    Better to find out if you can live with it before you've entered a few thousand records.
    Now if I can find my spear and magic helmet, I'm off in search of that wascally wabbit.
    Wegards,

  • When I have minimized additional windows and open another new window, the previously minimized windows show up underneath the new one, and I have to minimize them all again. This is quite annoying, how do you make it stop?

    This has only been happening since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.

    This issue can be caused by the ASK.com Toolbar.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do you make a MacBook Pro talk to an Epson printer?

    MacBook Pro
    OS X 10.6.8
    (Thinking about getting  another MacBook)
    I had an Epson Artisan printer, got an Epson Workforce WF-3640 new in Jan, hardly used because I cannot make it do what I want it to do. Wireless connection is good.
    With the MacBook Pro, the interface with the Epson printers is not what it used to be on the G4: no ColorSync, no 2-sided, no thick paper, none of those kinds of instructions appear on the generic printer control panel. Which by the way, bears NO resemblance to the Epson manual screenshots, and the instructions in the Epson manual are useless.
    How do you make a MacBook Pro talk to an Epson printer? And by the way, I cannot use the scanner either. I have to set up a document to print, then when the printing progress box appears, click on the scanner icon.
    Also
    Printer has 2 compartments. Top compartment #1 for all types paper.
    Bottom compartment #2 for plain paper only.
    I load glossy photo paper in #1, it prints plain paper from #2 even though I entered instructions on the control panel on the printer.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • How do you make Mozilla listen to users and stop FFFFirefox Auto Updating despite being set to NOT auto update?

    I am spitting nails
    After all the STUPID problems outlined here
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999831?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I set Firefox to stop auto updating,
    Then the other day I installed a new user on my laptop, when they loaded Firefox it auto updated MY version of Firefox.
    Has NOTHING been learnt?
    STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID
    So I have 2 questions
    How do you make Mozilla listen to users?
    and how do prevent what happened to me happening again?

    SuperSluether
    Not a millionth, you have only provided 150 answers and I doubt they were all this issue.
    If you don't like it, don't use it.
    If a business took this attitude they would soon be out of business
    Updates help KEEP YOU SAFE
    Sometimes, but in my experience FFirefox updates can really screw up your system, lose you data, mess up your user interface. I have run IT for one of the biggest intranets on the planet and we never allowed even Mictosoft updates until we did User Acceptance Testing and understood the impact of the upgrade. I am a grown up not a child, I have system where I test updates for performance, security and impact, I WILL DECIDE when I want to install it. If Mozilla wants to provide real security updates I would take them but if you look at the link in my OP you will see it said an update was security and it completely messed up.
    Updates add tons of great new features
    Actually with FFirefox in my experience they take more away than they add, things I did not ask them to take, they do not look at my config and leave my settings as they were and then tell me about new options, no they completely screw my productivity as it takes days to figure out how to undo the kwap they have added. Copying the AWFUL Chrome interface is not an improvement, Google has one of the worst UI's on the planet accross all their products.
    Firefox is designed to be customized PER USER, NOT CROSS-SYSTEM
    There are some things that benefit from being per user and some that are per machine, windows has group policies per machine and per user. My OP is telling Mozilla that this is another area where they have "designed" badly, I tell them this so that they improve it and in the vain hope that there is some config setting that will stop this nonsense.
    So SuperSluether you have not really helped, all you seem to say is FO if you do not like it. Good job you do not run a business. With that attitude probably best you do not contribute.

  • How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hello Forum.
    How do you make the background of an object transparent in Adobe Illustrator?
    I have been having issues with using the Magic Wand tool in Adobe Illustrator as well as the lasso tool.
    Basically, I am trying to put a small graphic into a new Illustrator file.
    The first thing I tried to do is to use the magic wand tool.  But I found out that this did not work on a jpeg image since it did not have any individual objects to select.
    So I tried something new.  I opened the file in Adobe Photoshop and used the lasso tool to select an area.  Then I coped this area.  Then I tried to paste it into Adobe Illustrator.  But the background was not transparent for the pasted image.
    How do I make the background transparent.
    I made this small video to show what I am talking about:
    http://youtu.be/2LgMGEF6z10

    Don't Copy/Paste the image.
    Make it transparent in Photoshop, save a PSD and place it in Illustrator

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
    Michael Jones

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

  • On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automaticall crops off part of each end of the image.  How can I make it stop?

    On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automatically crops off part of each end of the image.  the thumbnail has a jagged, serrated edge at both ends.  How can I make it stop?

    Then I do not get your problem - you can import the photo - you can find the photo and you can edit and save the photo - what more do you want?
    By defination thumbnails are small images to help you find the large image - the large image is fine and you can find it fine - and you know it is only showing part of the image because of the "jagged ends"
    If you think think that iPhoto should display long thumbnails suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto Feedback
    as to your digital photoframe - contact them - in general gital photos frames display one and only one aspect ratio and any photo that is not in that aspect ratio will be modified to display - either cropped to the proper size for the frame or have 'White" space added to fill the frame - that function is totally controled by the Digital Photo frame and any otptions you have will be in the manual or on the support web site for the frame - to put it in old film terms - you can not put an 8x10 print in a 5x7 frame unless you cut the photo down (or a 8x15 photo in an 8x10 frame either)

  • When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

  • How do you make imessage work? The icon is there. You can type in the recipient but are not allowed to hit the send button

    How do you make imessage work? We upgraded to verision5. The icon is there. You can type the message but the send button is not available.

    There is some instability in  iMessage.  It is a versatile and confusing app even though there are so few options in its use. 
    I had issues trying to get iMessage work on both my iPads and my iPhone. 
    ON the iPhone, turning off WiFi service and then trying iMessage fixed the problem.
    On the iPad 2, same thing.  Turning off WiFi service fixed it.
    On the iPad 1, I took a suggestion from zoomzoom and changed the WiFi network configuration on the iPad to use 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server and then use iMessage.  That fixed it.   Now I put the DNS back to default and it still works.
    I suspect the iPod Touch will have the same fix as the iPad.
    If you have a WiFi and 3G iPad or iPhone, try turing off WiFi and see if that fixes it. 
    Why?  (beware, some of this is guesswork)
    iMessage can talk SMS to cellphones and smartphones (that are using the cell-network).  It can also talk Apple iMessage format to iPhones and iPads whether they are on cell-network or on WiFi.  If you are talking to an SMS cellphone, iMessage figures that out and blindly sends your message.  If you are talking to a iOS5 device, iMessage figures that out too, checks to see that they are on-line, and then does something different if they are or are not on-line.  If you type in an email address, and not a phone number, I think iMessage attempts to see if the email address is registered with Apple (or iCloud or whatever) and if it is not, it does something to let you know, possibly by making the Send button not light up. 
    In order to register iMessage and an email, you have to let the iOS device see whatever service it is that iMessage uses.  That is where the problem happenes.  zoomzoom suggested manually setting the WiFi DNS to google's 8.8.8.8 IP address, then run IMessage, and that seemed to fix the problem.  Setting the iOS device to use 3G-only (by turning off WiFi) also fixed the problem.  I suspect going down to StarBucks or McDonalds and using their WiFi would also fix the problem.  Once the problem is fixed, it doesn't seem to come back so I can't test these 'fixes'. 
    To change the DNS on your iPad find your WiFi networks configuration, click on the blue arrow, touch DNS, backspace over the number that is shown, type in 8.8.8.8    Then click on the WiFiNetworks button at the top of the screen.  Now go run iMessage.  After that, you can delete the DNS entry again and leave it blank.  Your iPad will fill it in from the WiFi router when it needs it.
