My blind Mom can't find her Audiobooks when using the simplest of commands with SIRI?

I am experiencing problems with SIRI playing an audiobook for my blind Mom. What are the best routes to use this feature? Put all audiobooks in Music or can SIRI find audiobooks anywhere on my IPAD with the right voice commands and formatting. This is an experimental quest I am on the enable her to enjoy books without having to press a lot of buttons! For example, I have an audiobook of Jack London's White Fang but whenever I ask SIRI to play it, it comes back with White Thing!! pronounced Thang ?? Do I need to load a different dictionary of English and I enunciate the word FANG very clearly in English. HELP and Mom thanks you in advance.

    In iPhoto, how can I find a particular event using the search function?

    NO - read my last answer over a year ago
    That is because iPhoto is all about photos - not about files
    You do not access the piles in iphoto - you access the photos using either iPhoto or the media browser - see this user tip for photo access details

  • Can't get my mail when use the USB Ethernet adapter

    I can't get my mail when use the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. If I use a wireless connection, there is no problem. The LAN which I'm trying to connect is behind a proxy server but the Internet is working 100%.

    Hi ViK,
    This sounds like a question for the network administrator of the location. Without knowing how the proxy is set it's impossible to know what it's blocking (incoming/outgoing). It sounds like it might be filtering the incoming mail server.

  • How can i find my ipod without using the app

    i lost my ipod and i dont know where it is. i dont own a iphone to use the finding app. what can i do?

    The "finding app" or iphone has nothing to do with it.
    IF you set up find my ipod on the ipod itself AND it is on AND it is connected to wi-fi AND it has not been found and restored, then you may be able to get an aproximate stree address using icloud.com.
    Otherwise, you annot track it.

  • How can you find your password to use the App Store on an iPhone?

    My friend has forgotten her password for the App Store.
    Her account is her email address.
    How can she either get her password or create a new one in order to use the App Store?

    I think I tried this last night but will attempt it again.
    I was tired after talking with an AT&T technical representative about a voicemail issue.
    I hope her voicemail is still accessible today.
    I asked the AT&T person to remove the voicemail password.

  • I can't find "warp" option when using lasso tool

    Hi. I currently have Photoshop Element 8 (version 8.0).  I can't find the "warp" option when using lasso tool. Do I need to upgrade??

    You are on the wrong forum, there is a differetn forum for elements.
    In Photoshop the warp option is available regardless of whether you have used the lasso tool or not.
    In Photoshop, you can quickly get to warp by
    Make lasso selection
    CMD T to transform
    CTRL click to get the warp contextual menu

  • How can I find which applications are using the most power?

    I have recently noticed a full charge of power doesn't last as long as it used to on my iPad 2.  Is there some way to determine which applications are using the most power?
    I have been monitoring my home network router accesses and have noticed the iPad logs accesses every 15 seconds.  This only happened recently.  It had been well behaved and only accessing once or twice a day before.  I installed the most recent iTunes upgrade, per suggestions during a Sync.  The problems seemed to occur after this update.  I have gone through all the settings and have minimized the applications requiring higher power (I switch off the location services unless I'm away from home.  Likewise, I turn off my cellular carrier unless I'm away from home, etc.)
    In short, how can I maximize my power usage (aside from turning it off)?
    Thanks.
    Dave

    Thanks for responding so quickly.
    I'm really trying to find out why the battery is depleting much faster than it used to all of a sudden.  I used to be able to put a full charge on it and it would last about 5 to 6 days with normal use (normal for me).  Now that battery only lasts about 2 to 3 days with the same use.
    I DO recharge it when it needs to be charged but this is indicating there is something else (new) that is causing the power drain.

  • Can't find destination disk when reinstall the Mac OS

    Get some problem and need to reinstall the OS, placed the installation DVD and could not finished the process - it stopped at cold not find the destination disk to install the OS. Please help

    Hi folks
    I have the same problem with a 2nd generation G5 iMac. I tried to erase and install Tiger (retail version bought from Mac Store after consultation with Mac support), failed and hung up for 6 hours until I switched the thing off and my hard drive icon no longer appears in the startup list. I can't even reach options stage on install procedure - my hard drive icon has GONE! So no utilities from the Install disk. The mistake I may have made was to try the Unix erase and Install procedure.
    I have tried to get in using my mac mini as target drive but this seems not to offer a way out of the s**t! - can't find a way of reinstating a hard drive icon for the iMac in the startup folder.
    Any bright ideas out there or do I need to get a new Apple formatted hard drive?
    Many thanks.

  • TS4006 can i find my iphone by using the cell phone number

    I lost my iphone and its not on the device list.  Can I still use the icloud to find phone

    Unfortunately, no.  You can only use Find My iPhone to track a lost device if you set up iCloud and enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost.

  • Where can I find out how to use the Journals feature in iPhoto for iPhone

    I am new to Apple Support Communities. Not sure if this is the place that will help me work with Journals. Is there a manual or video which helps with teaching the features of the Journals application and how to use them? I am stuck knowing how to move around the images and changing the page set-up, among other perplexing features.

  • Premier elements 10 can't find a burner when using Windows 8.1 Would using a USB disc burner solve the problem?

    Using Premier Elements10 with Windows8.1, the program cannot detect a burner. I understand that Windows8 designates the burner as a DVD in order to facilitate drag and drop. I don't want to get too technical and want to know if purchasing an external USB disc burner will solve the problem. Will premier elements be able to detect this burner OK. I don't want to spend the money unless I am fairly certain that it will work.

    There is no guarantee that you will not get a blank field for Premiere Elements Burner Location using any internal or external Blu-ray DVD CD burner or DVD CD burner.
    If you go with an USB external burner, just make sure you have the back up of return/money back from the seller.
    If you are dealing with just a DVD CD burner, you might try the following if you have not already
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cd-dvd-drive-recognized-application.html
    You might also want to consider an uninstall/reinstall of Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit following the scheme of
    a. uninstall the usual Control Panel route
    b. free ccleaner run through CCleaner - Download
    c. reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled
    The following is the Adobe document that goes to Supported Devices
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/supported-devices-premiere-elements.html
    Updating on that unknown. Right now, it is what it is. I have burners that work fine in Premiere Elements on
    Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit and they are not on the list.
    Please let us know if any questions on the above or need clarification.
    Thank you.

  • Why can I only make calls when using speakrphone?

    I can only make phone calls when using the speaker phone or headphones.  The receiver can hear me although I can not hear them.  I have only had the phone since Sat, have checked volume levels and tried adjusting during a phone call too.

    Try making a call and turning the volume up using the buttons on the side of the phone. If that doesn't work, your iPhone is faulty. Take it to the nearest apple store or back where you bought it!

  • How can I find an audio book on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when it's set to play in order. Tried setting it to Sync audiobooks but a warning says 'do you want to remove existing songs from other itunes library? and I don't want to do this.

    How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?

    Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)?  To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
    Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar.  If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle.  Click on Audiobooks there.  To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
    NOTE:  if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
    When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list.  Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list.  You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

  • I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website.  The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there.  They are on my iPod nano.  Please help!

    I have iTunes 10.6.3.25 and I can't find my audiobooks that I downloaded from a library website.  The audiobook tab is visible in iTunes but none of the audiobooks are there.  They are on my iPod nano.  Please help!

    When you say they are displaying in your iTunes library, are you talking about the Audiobooks section of your iTunes library and not the audiobooks section indented under the iPod in the left pane of iTunes under Devices?
    Is the iPod Shuffle configured to sync audiobooks or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?
