Is there a way to make Siri shortcut commands?

Example, if say a keyword such as "Oscar Mike" can I make siri send a text to a specific person? If I can't do this useing Siri directly is there a way i can code it without jailbreaking the phone?

All you would have to say to Siri is send a text to "Name", you wouldn't really need a code. But to absolutly answer your question, I am not aware of a way to program Siri for that purpose.

Is there a way to make Siri ignore shared calendars when I ask what's on my schedule or when I schedule an event?

My wife and I share each other's calendars with each other through iCloud. It's a great way (obviously) to see what we have going on for the day and avoid scheduling conflicts.
When I ask Siri what's on my calendar, she treats my wife's shared calendar as my own as in she shows me both of our events. And when I schedule an event with Siri, she will tell me that I have conflicts based on my wife's calendar.
Is there any way around this? A way to get Siri to understand that my wife's calendar is just for reference and does not contain my events?

This has been an annoyance of mine for awhile. I would love to be able to designate which calendars "count" when siri is thinking about me.

Is there any way to make Siri work better?

I am absoutley amazed at how bad Siri is working now. I articulate carefully when using the mic button to dictate emails, text messages, etc. Siri is making way more mistakes than in the past. Lately the Siri function outright skips spoken words that are clearly articulated with a plain english voice. Many of my friends consider me an "Apple fan boy" but they also can't believe when Siri messes up most of the sentences that I clearly speak. I've reinstalled iOS 6 and even got a new phone from Apple but the problem is still the same.
Is there anything I can do to make this, not so great, dictation function work better? I would much rather have the opportunity to train Siri so that it becomes a useful bsuness tool.

I have done all that for years and this has to be the world record for beta length on such an important function.
I've forgotten how long Gmail was in beta but, as Siri has only been out for about two years, I know that Gmail beats it by a mile.
I know Apple has spent a ton of time on the look of iOS 7 in the upcoming release, which is great. But the way we communicate with our iPhone should be a huge priority, and it looks like apple has passed it to the back burner while still calling it beta. My friends with Androids and Google are showing me up and I am mad about it!
And they've announced iOS 7 will include improvements to Siri.
For what it's worth, I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (S3 before that). I find that Siri and Apple's speech to text works as well or better in almost all circumstances. I can get speech to text to work pretty well on the Samsung but it never understands me on things like "Send a text" or Open <program>", things that Siri never fails me with. Combined with my BT headset, with only one touch of the button on the headset, I can listen to a new text and respond to it.
I'm willing to entertain the idea that some people have better luck with one than the other. I'm sure there are differences in the underlying natural language recognition algorithms each company uses. I've also met people who can't seem to make either one work. And I've not been able to figure out why.
Best of luck.

Is there a way to make Siri display Celsius on the iPad?

there's no weather app so I don't see a way to change the weather from Fahrenheit to Celsius

You can't in the Photos app itself, though there are third-party apps that allow you e.g. PS Express (though the saved rotated version of the photo will be put in the Saved Photos album).

Is there a way to make the bluetooth source I pick for Siri persistent?

I have my iPhone paired with the factory Bluetooth hands-free audio in a car. I like using it for phone calls, but not for Siri.
When I start Siri, I can choose my audio source, but the iPhone forgets the selection after that session, and defaults back to trying to use the car's speaker and mic the next time I use Siri.
Is there a way to make this audio source selection persistent?
Thanks,
Heath

Is there a way to make Illustrator save in the background, like Photoshop?

Out of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, Illustrator is definitely the one I have most problems working with, due to small UI differences and ways of handling things
Like the fact that you can't drag next to a number to change it, like in Photoshop. Or the fact that I can't sync my settings (it only says "Signed in as:", and when I press Manage Account, I'm taken to my CC files in Safari).
But most annoying is the fact that whenever I'll save a document in Illustrator, a dialogue box opens letting me know the progress of the saving. Not only does this make me unable to continue working on the document (if the file is large, it takes some time), the app icon starts jumping in the dock if I switch to another program before the box appears.
So, is there any way to make it save in the background, like in Photoshop? I'm running OS X, with Illustrator version 17.1.0.

This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.

What I mean is, for example, I want to disable <command> S for saving (so I don't accidentally hit it).

Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts Make the changes you want to the shortcuts and save with a new name. In the dropdown at the top choose your new set and close. Quit and restart to seal the deal.

Is there a way to make high res screen grabs

i often use the shift apple 4 key board shortcut to make selected screen grabs, although I was wondering is there a way to make screen grabs a higher resolution than the standard 72dpi?

You can't increase the resolution of an image except in printing. If you print at a smaller size the you'll be squeezing more pixels in a smaller area thus increasing the dpi resolution of the print. But you can increase the resolution of the image file generated by the screenshot. Well, you can with Photoshop by resampling but it's never as good as the original. Screenshots are 72 dpi (or whatever the screen is - some at 92 or so) with the pixel dimensions as displayed on the screen.

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,
Frederik

No, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy. InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file. Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.

Is there any way to make a software like J.A.R.V.I.S?

Sir
A question arrived while watching Iron man, that is there any way to make a software like that. If yes please I want to kanow more about that and if no, I think you'll try your best.

I don't think so. J.A.R.V.I.S. is a highly intelligent fururistic computer in the blockbuster science-fiction 'Iron Man' films.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right. Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one. And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle. The margins are as follows:
But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or ?

This may be a stupid question. I am hooking my MBP to my lcd tv. When I first connected the television, my tv displayed the message "mode not supported". Having played a little at this I simply went to my display preferences and looked at what resolution was running to my tv. (I have my display preferences in the toolbar) It was running 1920x1080 at 60Hz and right above that there was another 1920x1080 at 60Hz so I clicked on that and my external display lit right up. (Turns out the second resolution's refresh rate is actually 59.9Hz) So no problem right? Well I use this set up as sort of a media center so I like to run my MBP with its lid closed. When I close the lid, and rewake the MBP, my television gives me the message "mode not supported". So there is a signal but the tv can't display it. This leads me to believe that when I close the lid on my MBP it decides to run at the 60Hz as opposed to the functional 59.9Hz. The problem is I can't see the display to change the resolution or refresh rate. Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or refresh rate? I have tried changing it before I close the lid. I have tried it in mirrored display mode. Nothing works so far. Please Help!

Not really. In the Displays preferences you can only check the option to show supported resolutions, but that only will be present with another display connected (I believe.) On laptops it isn't an option, obviously, but it may be present once you connect an external display.
You might try using the shareware utility SwitchResX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes
