Is there a way to "name" my apps for siri? iOS6

With the new iOS 6 upgrade, I was able to get siri to launch some apps, but not all.  My guess is that I simply do not know what to call the app when requesting that siri open it.  So, is there a way to "nickname" apps for siri? 
When I open my settings app, I have a list of apps that are installed, but the list does not inclue all of my apps.  All of the apps that would not launch were not found in this list.  The apps that launch successfully were on this list and I called them by the name that was displayed in the list.  Is the config that produces this "list" what siri uses to launch apps?  If not, how do I find the "names" of the apps not on this list so I know what to ask siri for? 
The capability to nickname apps would be awesome, imo!!!
Thanks.

Sure, use the folders function. Simply move an Icon on top of a similar themed Icon and create a folder. Then rename the folder as required.

  • Is there a way of quitting an app only by pressing on the red button?

    Hello.
    I'm a new Mac user (my MacBook Air bought on April, 17th).
    I was wondering, is there a way of quitting an app by pressing on the red button only, without pressing on the app name on the menu bar and and then on "Quit X"?
    If it's possible, I will be glad to here the way.
    Idanref.

    No.  The red x closes the window but not the application.  An exception is when an app can only have 1 window open. (Like system preferences).   A quick way to close the app is to press CMD Q  on the keyboard.

  • My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6  years.  We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc.  Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

    The list that comes up when you click on the Purchased icon when updating apps.
    The list is becoming quite large after I installed and tried out a few apps.

    nvm. I found it.

  • Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

    I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

    You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

    Too much scrolling in new Market section.  Now I seem limited on window size.

    I am guessing No must be the answer.

  • Is there a way to keep selected apps that you have on your admin account inaccessible and unseen from another admin account on the same Mac?

    My sister and I share computers, but it's really her Mac because she got it for her birthday.  I'm using it because there is no other place to hold my iTunes library, documents, photos, etc.
    She complains that I make the computer too slow after I downloaded/installed too many apps from the Mac App Store using my admin account and my iTunes account.   However, they show up on her account as well, and she doesn't want to see them or have her computer slow down, so she deletes them.  Is there a way to make certain apps unseen and inaccessible from other admin users on the same machine?

    Only by storing them on an encrypted disk image. Anyone who has an administrator password to a Mac can use it to access all unencrypted data on the system.

  • HT5137 Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

    There is no way to close all apps at once. When you leave an app , most apps stop working immediately. A few apps will continue to complete the task they were working on. Mail is an example of that. There is a short time limit though after which the app stops running and the state you left it in is stored. Quitting apps does not increase battery life.

  • Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

    Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

    I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.

    you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
    What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

  • Is there a way to reagrrange my apps? or set up folders to put them into by subject?

    Is there a way to rearrange my Apps or set up folders to put them into by subject?

    An app or even part of the iOS, this would be a great function to have.
    My 5 year old loves playing games like Disney's Water? on the iPad. The only problem is, is that as it only allows 1 player and he ends up playing over my game and it drives me insane
    If there was a way to either hide it OR even have 2 copies installed would be perfect!
    Maybe the easy answer though is to just go and buy him his own iPad
