Does the Sennheiser MM50 work with Voice Control?

I'm not double posting -- over at "using 3Gs" I asked if anyone had any idea what other earphones I could use with voice control, but after researching these Sennheiser MM50 iP phones look like just the ticket... except I'm not sure they work with the voice control itself.
They have a mic and a pause/answer button -- has anyone tried theirs to see if it will do the same job on voice control as the Apple earbuds do? (Which, IMHO, is superb). I do hate to give up volume control, but I can live without it for better overall sound (too bad the VC doesn't allow you to just say "louder" or "softer" <g>.

I would assume all earphones work that have a mic. No reason why they shouldn't

Replace Mac line breaks with Windows linebreaks?

Is there a simple AppleScript that could process a plain text file created on a Mac and replace the line breaks with Windows-compatible \r\n line breaks?
I thought this would be a very simple task but have been searching for quite a while and can't find anything.
Thanks.
Paul

There are several approaches to this. Here's one of them:
set theFile to (choose file)
set MacText to paragraphs of (read theFile)
set {oldDelims, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, (return & linefeed)}
set WindowsText to MacText as text
set my text item delimiters to oldDelims
set outputFile to (open for access theFile with write permission)
set eof outputFile to 0
write WindowsText to outputFile
close access outputFile
To explain, the first line asks you to choose the file in question - you could use any technique to identify the file, including hard-coding the path or using a drag-and-drop handler.
The second line gets the current paragraphs and calls them 'MacText'
The third line saves the current text item delimiters in oldDelims and sets the new text item delimiters to the CR+LF combination.
The fourth line performs the magic of transforming the file. It does this by coercing the list of paragraphs (obtained in line 2) into a single text block, and it inserts the current text item delimiters between each text item, miraculously giving you CRLF-terminated paragraphs.
The fifth line restores the text item delimiters to whatever they were before (you don't know what they were, but don't need to know what they were, as long as you restore the previous setting - it's unlikely you want CRLF moving forwards).
The rest of the script (lines 6 through 9) reopen the file you originally selected, sets the EOF to 0 (effectively wiping the file contents), then writes the CRLF-terminated text to the file and finally closes the file.
Note that some people might suggest using text item delimiters to break up the original text file on CRs but that would be wrong IMHO. The reason is that 'paragraphs of' can detect and handle both CR and CRLF-terminated paragraphs, leaving you with clean paragraphs into which you insert CRLFs.
This means that if the file originally had CRLF-terminated paragraphs you'd end up with the same data, but at least there was no harm done.
In contrast, if you simply searched for CRs and replaced them with CRLFs you could have the situation where you selected a CRLF-terminated file (maybe you didn't realize it was already in the Windows format) and your script would blindly replace each CR with CRLF, meaning you'd end up with CRLFLF combinations, which is very wrong.

IChat breaks with Parental Controls

So I've set up a Macbook for my mother: created an account for her with Simple Finder and Parental Control (as in "control your parents" way ). Then, created a gmail account and set up iChat to use google talk. Everything worked fine until... at some point iChat stopped showing the contact list. She starts iChat - the icon pops up in the Dock, and that's it. Nothing else shows up on the screen. I can see her coming online in my iChat, and I can chat with her - she'll see my messages and my voice/video chat invites, but she herself can't invite anyone, because there's no contact list. Tried everything: Window => Jabber - no luck. The window is just not there.
I've tried to delete all iChat properties and reconfigure it from scratch - impossible in the Simple Finder mode with Parental Controls: iChat simply crashes immediately upon start. The only way to set it up is to disable both Simple Finder and Parental Controls completely - only then I can set up iChat. And after it's set up - turn Simple Finder and Parental Controls back on. It works for some time, and then - BAMM! - again Contact list is gone.
So I've tried the same thing on my MacBook Pro: created a test account, set up the same way I set it up for my mother on her MacBook - with exactly the same effect: iChat breaks after some time. I couldn't find any logic as to why it breaks down, it just stops showing contact list at some point, and it's impossible to reconfigure it with Parental Controls enabled.
***??? So much for the "ease of use"

Is the buddy closed, with ichat in the menu bar click on window and chose the buddy list.

Something wrong with Voice Control?

The Voice Control on my iPhone (3GS) has gone odd.
Holding down the button on the headphones triggers Voice Control, but I no longer have the double-bing to prompt for a voice command nor do I have voice response from the handset when I do give a command.
Everything works okay when not using headphones, and it's not the headphones either as I've tested it on two pairs.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue, but with my iPhone 4 and the stock headset. When I hold down the button on the headset the phone vibrates but the audio prompt is not heard at all. Conversely, when the iPhone is connected to my bluetooth headset (Jawbone Prime), there is no such issue when activating voice dial through the Jawbone.

Problem with voice control

Hello. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had issues with their voice control? Any time my headphones are in and I move them slightly or put it in my pocket it turns on voice control and pauses my music. Even if I don't touch anything it will open up voice control and turn on music when my headphones are plugged in. Or i'll put in my pocket on screen lock and the VSD will open contacts or applications. Is there a way to deactivate voice control? I have switched the settings so it won't be opened with the mute button, I made it so it's 'voice dialing only' and that didn't change anything. This is annoying because I can't listen to music on my phone or do anything for that matter if the headphones are plugged in.

Same here... it's so annoying -.-

Missing line breaks with Excel

Hello,
Am downloading certain into Excel using BSP. I am changing response mime type to "application/vnd.ms-excel" and am sending tab-demilited string as data.
Some of the columns should contain line break within the cell( Mean the Alt-Enter in Excel cell ). I tried using the character code 10 and also 13 for the break. But it did not work.
How do I cause a line-break in the Excel cell? Any work-arounds??
Thanks.
Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,
I think you don't have the possibility to add line breaks into a tab seperated file. You rearly had to create an excel file. Unfortenately AFAIK this is not possible in ABAP. I've done this in PHP using the <a href="http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer">Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer</a>.

Deleting extra forced line breaks with Find/Change

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm importing word .doc that are text-heavy and the formatting is such that there are lots of extra forced line breaks creating a blank line between paragraphs.
To avoid manually deleting the extra forced line breaks to eliminate the blank line of space between paragraphs, what are the best steps to doing this an easier way?
Any advice on clear steps to do it using the find/change option?
Thanks in advance as always..
JRH

Are you talking about two hard returns [Enter] in a row, or a soft and hard return [Shift + Enter] and [Enter]? A forced line break is a soft return, but most Word users would just hit the return key for an empty paragraph to get an empty line.
In either case, you can do a simple text find change, if GREP intimidates you. Use the special characters menu to enter either two "end of paragraph" or a "forced line break" and "end of paragraph" markers into the find field and a single "end of paragraph" marker into the change field.
This is included as part of the "Find/change by list" sample script which adds some other common cleanup functions like converting two spaces to one. The advantage to using GREP is it will find any number of consecutive paragraph end markers and convert to one in a single pass, while a text search must be run multiple times to catch the heavy handed author.

Can not play podcast with voice control command

Is there any way to play a podcast with voice commands? I've been trying everything, "Play podcast Science Friday", "Play NPR Science Friday", "Play This American Life". I'm pretty sure Apple left this feature out. I thought they would have fixed it by iOS4. It's nice they added, "What time is it?" but I think this would be more useful. While I'm driving, sometimes I like to listen to music, sometimes I like to listen to podcasts.
I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this. Can we please elevate this to a bug/feature request?
Thanks

I've always had this problem, where "play" and "pause" does not work with podcasts through voice commands, which is rather dangerous when I'm driving and have to fumble with the touchscreen while using an A2DP headset. I don't usually have any music loaded, since I prefer listening to podcasts, Pandora or FM radio. Yesterday, I synced ONE song onto my iPhone, and suddenly it works with podcasts. I then removed it and it stopped working again. Apparently, if there is no music iPhone thinks that there is nothing to play, even if there are podcasts, which is a pretty stupid BUG. I still have not been able to play artists or titles, but now I can say "play playlist <list-name>" or "play" to resume a podcast that is paused.
Of course, no matter what I say, half the time it dials a random number from my contacts!

When i enter passcode with voice control, it says "dipped button"?? what is that?

I don't know how I ended up with voice over but it is driving me crazy. When I enter my passcode, it says it out loud and then it says "dipped button". What does this mean? I did NOT change my pass code and my pass code is not working. how do i turn off voice over? I have tried to restore it and after 2 hours, it stops and tells me my hard drive is full. WHAT?

IPod locked with Voice control

My screen is locked and voice control is on, it won't allow me to open my phone in any way. What can I do to resolve this?

I think you mean VoiceOver, that is where the iPod "talks" to you
You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Otherwise
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Insert Line Break with Syndicator

Hello,
I have a quite "simple" question: Is it possible to insert a linebreak after a record set using the MDM Syndicator? By default there are some values offered, like ',' or ';' and so on to seperate values, and you can specify seperators by your own. But how to specify a line break?
Thanks for your replies!
Andreas

Andreas,
As far as I know, there is no support for specifying the line break. The records automatically appear in separate rows (If you are using Flat file as Destination).
If you still need to specify your own custom character at the end of each line, create a "Custom Item" and enter the required character in the "Formula" for Custom Item and map this custom Item to a newly created destination field (at the end of all destination items).
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rajani Kumar

Anyone else still having issues with Voice Control?

Mine was activated out of nowhere and of course there is no easy option to turn it off. Its in the international setting...what is that even for?? Its preventing me from organizing my apps, can anyone shed some light on this?
I've reset, double checked settings, and even restored. No change.

If I hear Siri say "sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network" one more time it's going on Craigslist, and I'm going back to Android. Siri seems to be best for the Apple Marketing Dept. In my business we go from Beta to Pilot, to GR. How does Apple give it to the masses and call it Beta. Are they so self confident that they can take the hit?
I often ask it to call xxxx, and it just times out. The other issue is that when it does work, if it works, the lag time from command to execution makes it not functional. If one of the goals is to make it safer for me while I travel, Apple has made it worse since I ultimately have to pick up the phone and dial manually. I did get a surprise answer the other day when I asked Siri a math question from my 11yr old's math homework.
1 out of 50 times it works. So far I have to give Apple a 10+ for Marketing, and a 1 for execution.
Don't even get me started on ICloud set up and support help.

Voice control with any other headphones/earbuds?

Boy do I like Voice Control -- went out shopping today and was able to play whatever music I wanted and make calls all without even touching my phone (just that middle button on the Apple earbuds).
But... let's face it, folks, the earbuds suck when it comes to quality sound. I note there are some others that have a microphone included but don't know if they work with voice control or not. Yeah, I know, early days, but I'm hoping someone out there already has a pair that has tried them with the 3Gs and knows.
So -- any other quality sound phones that also use the voice control?

Yeah, I just read those same reviews. I also found a few other adapters that are super cheap like this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Audio-3.5-mm-Adapter-with-Microphone-for-iP hone/3440143/product.html?cid=123620&fp=F&cisrc=14110944&cisku=11516909
Many of these were apparently made to solve the problem with the original iPhone's recessed headphone jack. With the 3G (and I assume 3GS), the plug ends up being too big which creates a strain on the jack, not something I want on my new iPhone.
There seem to be quite a few all-in-one solutions though, here are a few on Amazon which have pretty good reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-Isolating-Earphones-Microphone/dp/B0014QQ8IM /ref=pdcp_e1
http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Earphones-Headset-Compatible/dp/B0012OP7 HE
It'll probably be a while before someone tests one of these with voice control, but I would think that any mic should work.

Voice Control on Iphone 4

I am loving my Iphone 4 but one thing is really bugging me.
I have had both the first gen iphone and 3GS. I always used the 3gs through my venturi mini bluetooth car kit and it worked great. To let my hubby know I was near his work to pick him up every night I would use the voice control of the 3GS and it always dialled perfectly.
But since getting the iphone 4 it is very hit and miss. It keeps saying the contact is not found and only dials after trying about 4 times. It also doesn't seem as good when you ask it to play "artist". Sometimes I speak and it doesn't do anything at all.
Does anyone else use the voice control/dial of the iphone 4 and find it ok?

http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=voice+control&objID=f1378&d ateRange=last90days&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
More or less. Lots of posts where they have problems with Voice Control in i4. I've had problems and foregoed using the voice control all together. It's missing a great deal of options for instance in the iPod section.
I can't say "Genius Alt Metal Mix" which is my Genius Mix developed. It goes for "Playing Songs by Far" which is one of them. Nor ask to call Dad very easily if I have variations close to the word Dad.
