Siri can't understand "Rate this song 5 stars"

My goal is to rate all of my music.
So I have a playlist of all 'unrated' songs, that I typically play to/from work in the car during the home-work-home commute.
So I'd like to be able to instruct Siri to rate the current sing playing by just saying 'rate this song 4 stars' or something like that.
That would be the least distracting to my driving and allow me to use the commute to rate my songs.
Other commands could be :
-Add to playlist <playlist name>
-Remove from this playlist
-Copy (or move) to playlist <playlist name>
I thought that this would have been one of the most useful Siri command sets for the music playing while driving/moving context.

I this is very strange indeed.in my case it's exactly the opposite that is happening.Siri has no problem understanding me on my iPhone 5 but all of a sudden starting two days ago, Siri Eye in my Honda Civic doesn't understand me or parts of what I'm saying only....

I really can't understand how this recursive works??

Hi all,
I have got a recursive function that checks for palendrome string. But it is confusing. I know that a string is palenromme if it is empty or has a char or first char and last one are same and middle is palindromme too.
but can't understand how this function works.
class Palindromme
     boolean palindrom(String s)
          if (s.length() <= 1 || s.equals(null) || s=="") //this is the stopping point
               return true;
          else
          {                    //recursive definition
               return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
specially i don't know how palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1)); is working cause it has to be increased for each loop.
abdul
PS: actually i don't know how recursion works from Data structure point of view

Hi,
ok your palindrome is : "otto"
return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
              o                     o                                   tt
so first part is true
in the second part palindrom is called again but with the remaining tt
so second time :
return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && palindrom(s.substring(1,s.length()-1));
               t                     t                                 ""
Third time:
if (s.length() <= 1 || s.equals(null) || s=="") //this is the stopping point
return true;after all for otto the recusion is:
return ( s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1) ) && s.charAt(1) == s.charAt(s.length()-2) ) && nothing left of otto);

How much does this cost? & I still can't understand how this work

How much does this cost? & I still can't understand how this work

Hello mkopti,
ePrint is a free feature include on most of our wireless printers that are e-all-in-one enabled. It allows you to register your printer on HP's website http://www.eprintcenter.com and create an account. Once an account has been created you can enable the web services feature, after connecting to a valid network with internet access, which will print off a registration code you can use to add the printer to your account and customize an email address for the printer. This allows you to print to the printer from virtually anywhere simply by sending an email to the printers email address and when it is received it will print.
Most of these printers are also Airprint enabled meaning you can print locally from the same network on the iPad, iPod, and iPhone (version 4.3.2 and higher) by using the built in "Print" command in the idevices.
If you have any other questions or need clarification feel free to reply to this post and I will try to answer any questions you have.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

IPhone 4s blue tooth siri can't understand me.

The blue tooth is seriously the only thing making me want to go back to Blackberry. Siri does not understand me while using blue tooth and a lot of the calls I get on my phone while in my vehicle will revert back to the phone settings and I will lose blue tooth al together. Do you think this is something that Apple will fix or am I going to be only half happy with this phone?

There does appear to be a know issue with Ford vehicles. If yours is a Ford it is likely that your will need a software upgrade to your bluetooth in your vehicle. Ford dealers can do this for you.
Hope this helps.

Siri can't understand plain English, or Latin, or Italian...

I have an iTunes library that is mostly the material from years of collecting CDs. It's not huge, but it's not small, about 600 or 700 CDs, around 225GB (close to 17,000 "songs"). I've recoded all the Apple Lossless formatted stuff to be AAC. That takes up about 49GB on my iPhone 5's iTunes.
Most of the music is classical. I've spent a lot of time making all the listings standard, including the composer, key, opus, number of the piece if appropriate, time period, and file type (Apple Lossless and AAC).
How can I teach siri to understand my selection?
For example, I'll say "Play the first Gloria of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis." Sadly (and oddly humorously) it says "I couldn't find 'the first gloria of Beethoven's Mrs. alumnus' in your music." [head slap] So I tried it again, enunciating as clearly as I could. Siri: Sorry, I couldn't find 'the first to gloria of Beethoven's Messe so Leninists' in your music." (Doh!)
Or simpler: I'll say "play Mahler Symphony Number 3" and I'll get "Sorry, I couldn't find 'Moeller Symphony number three' in your music."
Another, making it very simple: "Play Beethoven's Cello Sonata in A." It says "I couldn't find 'Beethoven cello Sonata in a' in your music." Yet, here's the listing exactly as it appears in iTunes under Beethove (composer): "Cello Sonata in A, Op 69: 4. Allegro vivace."
One final screw-up on siri's part: I say "Play Rachmaninoff Prelude in c-sharp minor." Siri comes back with "Now playing album 'Symphony no 5 in C sharp minor." What it doesn't indicate is that it's "Mahler's Symphony no 5 in C sharp minor." Rachmaninoff never wrote a symphony no 5 in C sharp minor.
Very frustrating. And I haven't even gotten to the issue of which performance of the same piece I want to play. I probably have 4 or 5 versions of each of the Mahler, Beethoven, and Brahms symphonies. Or, the two different recordings that Gould made of the Bach Goldberg variations.
So, how do I get siri to learn about my music collection and find the piece I'm looking for? It seems like siri should be able to be taught. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Native language is English. When I've used the online database to retrieve names of works, composer's names, etc., it was incosistent. For example, one Brahms's symphony would be entered as: "Symphony No 3 in F, Op 90: 1. Allegro con brio," while another would be "Sym. in D number 2, first movement."
This made it impossible to locate things in my music collection, especially when I might have 4 or 5 different recordings of the same piece done with different orchestras and conductors. Clearly, the naming conventions must be the same to locate anything in a relatively moderate sized database like mine. This is why I went through each recording and made the fields consistent.
Siri virtually never gets it correct. I'd like to be able to teach it how to find the piece I want to hear.

Siri can't understand "Yes"

when i tell Siri, "set up a photo shoot with Diana for 1:00 on saturday" it gets everything right. the appointment is set to the right time and everything else looks good. then Siri asks something like, "should i add this appointment to your calendar?" and i say, "Yes", Siri reliably interprets Yes as Yet, tells me it doesn't understand, and gives me a list of things i can change about the appointment. however, if i say, "confirm" the appointment is added to my calendar without problem.
i would have expected "yes" to be a valid answer to confirmation question. it seems more natural language to me. does anyone else have this problem?

Yes. When I say just "yes", it always comes back with "Sorry, I don't understand what you said". But If I say "yes, please", it says "OK, I'll add that reminder". Very odd. But it understands the word "yes". Maybe it just likes the magic word?
When it doesn't understand my confirmation, it seems to lose the original item that it asked for confirmation about. This is very troubling. Then I have to start all over again.

Can't understand how this group by clause works

The Schema is as below: (http://www.psoug.org/reference/rollup.html)
CREATE TABLE grp_rep (
person_id NUMBER(3),
division VARCHAR2(3),
commission NUMBER(5));
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'SAM',1000);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (2,'EUR',1200);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'EUR',1450);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'EUR',700);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (2,'SEA',1000);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (2,'SEA',2000);
INSERT INTO grp_rep VALUES (1,'EUR',800);
COMMIT;
Query1:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY person_id, ROLLUP (person_id, division);
Query2:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY division, ROLLUP (person_id, division);
The results of query1 are okay. It has results from rollup and group by person_id.
But, in Query2 results of rollup are missing and results of group by division is there.
Anyone can explain how the group by clause works when there are multiple columns involving CUBE, ROLLUP and simple column names?
Regards.

Thank you shoblock!
but, What i m really looking for is,
How group by clause works when i add regular column along with RollUp in group by clause?
I have understood simple group by clause like
...group by column1,column2,column3....
n I also know simple rollup clauses like
...group by rollup(column1,column2,column3,...)
But my Problem is how does this work:
...group by column2,rollup(column1,column2,...)
...group by column1,rollup(column1,column2,...)
See below Results:
Query1:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY person_id,ROLLUP ( person_id, division );
Result:
PERSON_ID DIVISION SUM(COMMISSION)
     1      EUR      2950
     1     SAM      1000
     2      EUR      1200
     2      SEA      3000
     1           3950
     2           4200
     1           3950
     2           4200
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY division,ROLLUP ( person_id, division );
Query2:
SELECT person_id, division, SUM(commission)
FROM grp_rep
GROUP BY division,ROLLUP ( person_id, division );
Result:
PERSON_ID DIVISION SUM(COMMISSION)
1 EUR 2950
2 EUR 1200
     1 SAM      1000
2 SEA 3000
1 EUR 2950
2 EUR 1200
1 SAM 1000
2 SEA 3000
EUR 4150
SAM 1000
SEA 3000
guys, help me make understand above results!

Why Can't I play some songs ??

I can't understand why some songs are available to play and some are not!? Even songs from the same album?
I've uploaded 100s of. songs from my MacBook, some are ripped from CDs and the rest from iTunes.
Please explain I don't understand why this is so.

If the initial scan in iTunes has not finished yet then you can see this behavior on an iOS device. The simplest trouble shooting step is to disable iTM on the iOS device and open the Music app and let the content clear out. Wait for the scan to complete in iTunes then re-enable the service on the iOS device.

Hi. I have an ipod 7th Gen. Whenever i rate a song from ipod, when i connect my ipod to my pc i see that another different song is rated on itunes. Can you help me with it? or what causes this problem?

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

Siri doesn't understand stars in music and playlists

I love the idea of using Siri to control music playlist, but she doesn't seem to understand stars. For example, I have a smart playlist called "★★★★", and when I ask her to "play playlist 'four stars'" she instead tries to play a song or album with "star" or "4" in the name. I tried to get her to list my playlists, to see what she thinks it's called, but she doesn't know how to do that. I also tried telling her "play songs with 4 star rating" and she didn't understand that either. I don't want to have to rename my playlist to be "four stars". Is there any other way to get her to understand what I want?

Yea man, I was quite hopeful and purchased the 4S only because of Siri but as of now It seems only a marketing glamour.
Do you think It would learn our accent ? Or is this note the ultimate reality:
Can I use Siri in any of these languages in other countries?
Yes. Siri can be enabled in any country, and you can choose to speak to it in English, French, or German. However, Siri is designed to recognize the specific accents and dialects of the supported countries listed above. Since every language has its own accents and dialects, the accuracy rate will be higher for native speakers

HT1711 I have recently upgraded to IOS 7 and now cannot rate my songs in itunes. I single click on the song and hit the applicable dot under ratings which usually then converted to a star. Now it does nothing when I click on the dot. What's wrong?

Since I upgraded to the latest IOS, I cannot get Itunes to rate my songs. My ratings determine which playlist my songs are entered into. For two days, I've tried to rate the last 4 songs I downloaded but when I click on the songs to bring up the 5 little dots, nothing happens when I click on the applicable dot. Normally I get the stars but not now. Can someone tell me what's going on and what I have to do to make rating a song work? Thank you!

How can I, or can I export my songs on my iPod back to my computer?
The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.
