I want to teach Siri new words. Every time I say Tarot she's types in Carol
I write books on the tarot and astrology, and Siri can't seem to understand me when I typed the word Tarot in text messages, no matter how many times I try to pronounce it. I tried to the technique of teaching her the word the contacts, but that's not working either. Even if I pronounce it like carrot

Can I teach Siri new words?
I want to ask Siri to look up things on the internet, and there are quite a few words she doesn't understand (i.e."weimeraner"). Is there any way to teach her complex words i use often?
Julian, thanks for this thought! I added the word I needed into my contacts. Gave it my phone number and asked Siri to call it. Then I went to my notepad and said the word. Siri knew it! There folks, now you can teach Siri

I am a new Mac user and I bought a refrubished Mac that has Mac OS X VERSION 10.6.8. I have been wanting to upgrade to Mavericks, but every time I go to do that a message comes up saying OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer. Is there anyway I can instal it? Better yet how can I look up how much GB of memory I have and the available storage?
1. No, but you might be able to upgrade to Lion. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check that the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, and if so, click here.
2. Check the RAM from the About this Mac window, choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, control-click the internal drive, and choose Get Info. If the computer has a 32-bit EFI, it can't be upgraded to Mountain Lion or above regardless of the RAM and free drive space.

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.
It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

I use the Icalendar at home, at work, and on my Iphone. I don't want to have to "sign in" every time I need my calendar. How do I stay signed in? I have checked the "keep signed in" box, but it does not work.
Welcome to the Apple community.
Staying signed in at iCloud.com is not a problem for me. Try resetting your browser or emptying its cache. -
We are using a web based service to register people's mood when they touch an NFC card against the tablet. Every time someone taps their card against it, it open up a new tab, and they then register the mood they are in.
We recently got to a situation where we had 150 tabs open which gives us concerns that at some point the tablet could just slow to a crawl or fall over.
The tablet is unmanned and so closing the tabs after every entry manually is not an option either.
Ideally we would like the browser not to open a new tab every time. Is this possible?
Thanks a lotYou should ask this on https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev instead of a end user forum. It may require building a custom APK of Firefox.

Have my MacBook Pro plugged into a monitor and also using a wireless keyboard. I want to close the MacBook but every time I do the monitor turns off - is there a way to avoid this?
Press any key on the wireless keyboard after you close the MBP and it goes to sleep. The computer will wake up with the external monitor as its display. This is called Clamshell mode.

I need to just double click on every folder and have it open in a new window every time, as before. Can I do that?
Finder -> Preferences -> General -> uncheck "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows"

I have Mozilla Firefox installed, w/. my Home Page setup to be opened on It every time. I can open a new window on It too, but when I open a new tab, every time open this new tab w/. Untitled Page. I wanna It opening w/. my Home Page.
Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ -

Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?
Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?
Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.

I want to delete a folder but every time i do, it reappears on my desktop, even after I empty/secure empty the trash.
I contracted Security Tool the same way about ten minutes ago on my Win7 Home Premium laptop. Firefox prompted me to do an immediate update the way it normally does, with a convincing update screen that looks like the typical Mozilla update prompt. However, the installer I downloaded was in fact "Security Tool." The program firewalls Firefox to prevent searches and also prevents access to Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Del. On the surface this appears to be a particularly nasty strain of malware / scamware, and FF users need to be warned and/or innoculated immediately.
