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.

Can not operate Premiere Elements 9.0 on Win 7 64 - bit......Is there any way to make it work?

Hello All,
I hope this helps in my quest to operate Prem ELements 9.0 on my machine, but I have the need to get it to work and I have tried everything there is to make it happen. I know I am not doing something. Is there anyone out there that can help me out?
To begin, I have a Dell Precision, Quad, 10GB of RAM, running Win 7 64-bit.....I can load the software, but once I try to launch, it opens with the interface appearing, but I can operate any menu function whatsoever. Nothing. I can't set a project location let alone open an image in the organizer. I have tried to run as administrator and set up compatibility mode to Win 7, but I cant operate it at all. I just look at the interface.
Any help would be gretly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Joe

It runs perfectly on my Windows 7 64-bit, Joey.
Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, from Apple.com, per the system requirements?
Have you manually gone to Windows Update to ensure you have even the non-critical operating system updates?
Have you run a program like Advanced System Care (free from http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html ) to clear off the temp files and tune your registry? Even if your computer is brand new, it can be littered with temp and junk files.
If none of that works, you may have program conflict. Are you running a program like Norton that may be choking this installation?

Factory unlocked GSM phone - is there any way to make this work?

Hi, I just bought a random off-brand phone from Amazon, not realizing there was a difference between GSM and CDMA. I know, I know. Anyway, I have my Verizon SIM card and the phone is working fine on wifi, but no dice in activating my Verizon account.
The phone is the Posh Mobile Titan HD E500 4G GSM Unlocked and frankly it seems like an outstanding phone. I am not eligible for an upgrade, broke my Droid DNA a while back, replaced it with a Razr M which turned out to be a ***, and didn't want to pay full price for a phone from the Verizon store.
I'm trying to decipher the info on the interwebs, and some sites are saying that Verizon can unlock SIM cards to work with GSM phones, and some phones are dual GSM / CDMA...
I could return the phone but it's really outstanding and I'd probably just end up canceling Verizon service and taking it to TMobile instead, especially with their buyout offers.
Does anyone know if this particular phone can actually be activated on Verizon? It has a dual SIM, I don't know if that means anything at all, but thought I'd mention it.
Thanks in advance!

This is not possible. Verizon Wireless doesn't support unlocked phones unfortunately. However if you'd like to keep it and use it on a smaller network, good luck to ya.
It has nothing to do with Verizon not supporting unlocked phones. A GSM only phone does not have the CMDA radios in them that are necessary to make calls and text. If you want a handheld device that can't call or text you might as well use a tablet.

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro laptop I work mainly on the desktop but when i go away for work I take my laptop. Is there any way to make it automatically back up to mirror my desktop? Like when I update a file it updates on there too etc?

When I first got the laptop I syned it to load with all the same software etc but it hasn't continued to sync
Thanks

I use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.

Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life. Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out. I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all. After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing. My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.
HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them. I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

Is there any way to make an iPad3 connect to the internet in an Extended Verizon area?

Is there any way to make an iPad3 connect to the internet in an Extended Verizon area?

If you have the prepaid 3G account, no. The prepaid service, the kind activated directly from the iPad only works on Verizon's own network. You'd need to change to the month-to-month postpaid service to roam on the extended network. Call customer service about changing it over. You will need to do a credit check but there is no contract.

Plugging in a headset disables the speaker...nothing you can do to work around that.

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.

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.

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.

Is there any way to make Mail open next message?

Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
Thanks for any help

Down-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,
GB
