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 can you get siri on your old iphone?

You don't. It will only run on newer hardware.

HT204389 How do I get Siri to work after updating to iOS 7.1?

After updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 7.1, SIRI is no longer working. Siri worked perfectly prior to software update and the phone is in mint condition.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

HT204389 how do I get siri to help me make a grocery list in notes?

siri used to show up in the notes app but no longer does. I can't get her to understand when I ask her to make a list in notes for me.

I have done this, and the effort was not worth the results. Siri makes the note, but you have to talk pretty slowly and wait for her to be ready. Then, she can't spell as well as I can speak. She is also able to add something later to the same note, which I thought was pretty cool, but it is very time consuming and not very accurate.

HT204389 how can I get Siri to speak - only getting text answers

SIRI voice used to work but now I only get text.

Three weeks later and no reply. So in case someone else finds my posting and has the same problem, here's what appears to fix the problem:
1. On the iPhone 4S, tap Settings.
2. Tap iCloud.
3. Tap on Calendars to turn synching OFF.
4. You'll get a warning. Proceed anyway.
5. Now the iPhone's Calendar will be blank.
6. Under Settings-iCloud, tap on Calendars to turn synching back ON.
7. Voila! Now no more duplicates! Hurray!
If anyone else checks here, I hope this works for you as it appears to have worked for me.

How do I get Siri to put appointments on iCal and not to Google Calendar?

When I give Siri the command to schedule appointment, the appointment is put on my google calendar and not my iCal. How do I change this?

See if you have selected your "iCal" calendar as your default calendar in settings (Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar).

Without the Apple ID you can't get a password reset email. The link I gave above can help you recover the Apple ID as well, though, via your security questions. If you don't know those either, then you may be out of luck, though you can try calling Apple Support and asking to speak with Account Security and see if they can help, though you're going to have to prove that you actually own that Apple ID and aren't just trying to get illegal access to someone else's account.
Regards.

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 Adobe to send me a link to download Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended V 9.x

how do I get adobe to send me a link to down load this version? Adobe pro 9 does not work. I old computer crashed, I lost the hard drive. I have the code, but cannot find the link to download this version. I don't want to spend money for a new version, as this works fine.

I cannot find any download of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on the Adobe website.
If I were you I would try to find a 3rd-party download site, e.g. via Google. Note that there is no guarantee that 3rd-party downloads are clean or genuine.

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#

How can I get Siri on my iPad 2 and what happen to my YouTube app?

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
Siri is only on the iPad 3, it's not on the iPad 2
