Is there any way to get Siri to work via wifi through a proxy?

I work in a school that has wifi with Internet accessible through a proxy. With my previous iPhone 3GS, I was able to get online, access the app store.. In fact, do everything on wifi except receive and send email. Now, with the 4s, I have to add Siri to that list. It works fine everywhere else (on 3G or wifi) but no joy at work. Any ideas? I do have access to the school server so if there's a sneaky server side change to make, I can :)

We were having the same problem here at the School I work at.  By looking at some traffic logs and doing some internal testing, it appears Siri attempts to make a direct connection to the outside network using HTTPS (port 443), without using any of the proxy settings you may have configured on the Wifi network.
We've reported it as a bug to Apple but haven't heard anything back yet.
To get around it in the meantime you'll have to punch a hole in your firewall to allow Siri traffic through.
Currently Siri appears to contact IP address 17.174.4.14 over port 443.  The IP address may change in the future, but that will at least get you up and going for now.  We went ahead and opened the entire 17.174.4.0/24 network, as the entire block of addressess is owned by Apple.
Again, there is no gaurentee that this will not change in the future and break again.
Good luck!

  • Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

    is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
    We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
    Any ideas?

    I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

  • Is there any way of getting Facetime to work with windows?

    I've just used Facetime for the first time and it worked like a dream. Is there any way Facetime can be used to phone someone with a PC using
    Windows?

    No, FaceTime uses a proprietary communications protocol that is incapatable with Windows.

  • ITunes / Shadow / Import - Is there ANY way to get iTunes to work on the Media Hub 405?

    Since I installed the Linksys Media Hub 405 my iTunes Library has become a mess to manage or enjoy.  I'm using the latest software.
    1.  I have so so so so many duplicates
    2.  I can't use playlists
    3.  Some art work shows up others do not.
    A.  Itunes works great on my Dell Laptop w/ Vista Ultimate and on my iPod
    B.  The Media Hub is using Import and The Shadow keeps running but gets errors from time to time.
    If the ONLY reason I bought the Media Hub is to run iTunes for 4,600 song library what should my settings and software running be to keep it up to date "automaticly" WITHOUT duplicates?
    Should Shadow be on or off, and what setting?
    Should Import be on or off, and what settings?
    Can ANYONE answer this question is a common sense simple manner?  Thank you.

    If you worry about duplicate files on your Media Hub then you should use NTI Shadow. When creating a backup job on NTI Shadow make sure your choose "save your folder/file changes to the backup destination every time you save changes to your PC" then for the file versions options choose "Do not save any previous file version".
    Check on Step 8 and 9 on this article.

  • Is there any way to get touch screen working for unit that got wet?

    i recently had my ipod touch fall in water for a few seconds, and since then my touch screen will light up dimly, but is unresponsive.  the unit works for sync on my computer, as well as playing on my bose sound dock.  only the touch screen seems affected

    If the liquid damage has occurred recently you should try to dry it completely before attempting to use it. Have you tried putting the iPod Touch into a bag/bowl of uncooked white rice? That would help to pull all the remaining liquid out of the iPod.
    If, after that the iPod's screen is still not responsive then it's something you may need to have repaired or replaced.

  • Is there any way to get the height/width of an image before importing it in the indesign document.

    Hi All,
    I need to obtain an image's attributes such as dimensions (height, width in pixels) without placing image in indesign document.
    I have full path of the image (say abc.jpg is stored at c:\my pic\abc.jpg).
    I have obtained the IDFile for this image, tried getting size using GetFileSize() which correctly return size in bytes.
    Is there any way to get the height/width of image without importing it in the indesign document.
    Please, give me some hints. I have spent quite a lot time digging in CHM. I have searched in FileUtils, IDFile API's but found no method which serves this purpose.
    At this point I am clueless where to search next.
    Any help will be appriciated.
    Just a point to mention, I am able to get image height and width for an image in indesign doc though Its not my requirement.
    Thnx,
    D.

    You might be able to examine the contents of the PlaceGun after calling kImportAndLoadPlaceGunCmdBoss without actually placing the image in a document. Not sure, but would be worth looking at.
    Otherwise you will probably have to write platform specific code, ideally with a generic platform-independant wrapper (see SDKSamples/paneltreeview/PlatformFileSystemIterator).
    For the Mac, look at CGImageGetWidth() etc., not sure what the best option is for windows.
    Perhaps Quicktime could provide you with a platform independant solution.

  • Is there any way to get the appStore link for my application

    Hi everyone , i am developing an app which has a feature of sharing its appstore link with the friends through mail,so that they can see my appplication in appstore and buy it directly on click of a button. For that i need to use the app store link of my application for sending it . is there any way to get that and using it dynamically in my app immediately after releasing it.

    Your best bet would be to create a web page of your own for the app. Design that page so that it uses 'META REFRESH' to redirect the visitor straight to the App Store link.
    That way you can hard-wire your own web page address into your app.
    This has the advantage that it can work well even before you've noticed that your app has arrived on the App Store. Create a real web page, describing the app and telling people to search for it in the App Store by name - then replace it with the auto-redirect page when you've discovered your application's App Store address.

    No there's not.  Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

    Also, is there any way to save a group or an open session and then restore it later?

    History menu, if it was destroyed in the last session
    then use "Restore Previous session:" and then restore all windows also from the history menu.
    If done in this session try the restore all windows under the history menu.

  • Federal court website gives a .pl document which opens as garbage until we manually change it to .pdf, is there any way to get Firefox to do this automatically?

    I am using a Mac. When downloading a document from the federal court website using Firefox, we get a .pl document which opens as garbage (in TextEdit) until we manually change it to .pdf, which causes it to open just fine (in Preview). It used to work fine, giving a .pdf document every time, but apparently upgrades to Firefox have removed this functionality. As far as I can tell my computer, an iMac running Mac system OS X 10.10.1, does not recognize the .pl format. Is there any way to get Firefox to automatically convert a downloaded file from .pl format to .pdf format? My friend tells me that Google Chrome downloads these documents with no problem. I would prefer to stick with Firefox but I might have to change if every downloaded document is in an unreadable format.
    This is a typical example of what I get when I try to open a .pl document (the pdf version is a one page document using plain English):
    =====
    %PDF-1.5

  • Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

    My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
    It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

    thank you for the tip.
    Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Itunes deleted my 30 gigs of music and I didn't have it saved in itunes or on computer, is there any way of getting music back?

    Itunes deleted 30 gigs of music from my ipod. And I don't or didn't have it saved in Itunes or on my computer....is there any way of getting my music back? Alot of the music was not purchased from Itunes....mostly from cds I dont have anymore! PLEASE HELP!

    If the lost music is no longer on your iPod, on your PC, or in another backup somewhere, you are out of luck.  You can download most iTunes purchases again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information and assistance.

    For non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to redownload or rerip them from their original source.

  • Is there any way of getting back from a wrong clicked free trial to add my serial number correctly?

    Hi
    On purchasing a new imac I copied the apps across & on opening CS6 was requested to load serial numbers, through tiredness I added the seria; number from CS5.5 and therefore not recognised for the CS6, then when about to enter again through tiredness I must have clicked free trial and now have the CS6 in that format.
    Is there any way of getting back to that initial box to load the correct numbers & get out of trial as although it works I need it set up correctly?
    Any help appreciated

    Sorry, cant see this visible on menu or drop downs, did run through all menus before posting, could just be tired from 3 weeks straight.
    If this is not an option does that mean I am set up ?
