Siri Gym/School Location Fail

I believe there is a little goof in the Siri design for locations. You are able to get directions and set reminders to locations associated with your contact on iCloud, so you can add your Home and Work address (correctly labeled) and you're good to go. You can also add other locations separate from your account such as Supermarket or Bank and Siri will recognize those contacts.
HOWEVER, the problem is that like Home and Work two other categories are given special privilege: Gym and School. So even though there is a string for Siri to recognize "Siri, can I get directions to the gym?" Even if you have a custom labeled address in your contacts listed as "Gym" or "gym" - Siri isn't able to make that connection.
So again to simplify: Home, Work, School and Gym are supposed to be easily setable addresses in your own iCloud contact for Siri to recognize. However it locks up on "Gym" and "School" for some reason.
This just seems like a goof on Apple's side - someone in programming Siri forgot to cross their t's and dot their i's. But there is a work around, you can add these locations but when you talk to Siri you have to put the emphasis on "my" as in: "Siri, can i get directions to my gym." It should be able to find the contact, but if you say "the gym" or "gym" it will say you have no yet set your gym address yet - even if you have.

I agree it takes awhile, I noticed that as well. But even after waiting, I (I say I), couldn't get Siri to work for the Company field. Thanks for noting!
Yes, but if Siri offered me the list of grocery stores to select from (In the same way it presents list if it can't pick an item with certainty) I'd be happy with that rather than having to make contacts manually (by using maps ironicallly) for all the places I most want to have location based reminders for. Like "When I arrive at Costco (Sams Club, BJs) remind me to pickup beef jerky".

How do I get Siri to recognize locations other than home work or other?

Currently, Siri only recognizes locations in my contact that are named work, or home. When I add a custom label, like apartment, and Add a new address with that label, Siri will not recognize that label. Siri will not respond to the question remind me to check my email when I get to my apartment. However, Siri will respond to the question remind me to check my email when I get home. Does anyone know how to get Siri to recognize custom labels?
Thank you.

Get Siri to set location reminders (using multiple reminder lists)

I found a way to get Siri to set location reminders using multiple reminder lists (but you can just use one list too):
First make additional lists in the reminder app: click list button (the lines on the left) > edit > create new list > done. Make as many as you want. I have grocery, home, personal, business, family.
Let's say you want a reminder to pick up apples when you get to the apple store. You must add the location in your contacts to your name in contacts.
Do the following:
In maps app find the location with search.
Tap the blue arrow > Add to contacts > Add to existing contact
Choose your name in contacts. It will be added under your address for home or work so you will need to edit it:
Click Edit.
Click on the small label on the left of the new address - it will just say "address"
Scroll to bottom of page and click on Create custom label
Enter the location name like "Apple Store". Click Done.
Important Note: You will need to delete the url it adds under your home url section and maybe other things it messes up with the new contact info instead of yours - so check all the fields each time you do this.
To make a location based reminder using a specific list you must open that list yourself - Siri will not open it for you.
Example:
Open grocery list yourself in the reminders app
Tell Siri something like: "remind me to pick up apples" (Do not mention the location yet - if you do it will not work)
Siri will ask: "When should I remind you?"
Say: "When I get to the apple store"
Siri will say she will remind you and you will see the location reminder in the grocery list.
This is how it works for me but if you know an easier way let me know! This is beta so I'm sure it will get easier.

I have one thing to add. You don't have to open the list manually. Tell Siri: "Add to my <listname> list". For example, if you have a list named "Work", tell Siri: "Add to my work list". Siri will reply, "What should I add to your 'Personal' list?
and you can continue from there.
There is a syntax for doing all this in one sentence, but I find it only works about half the time. Too many fields for Siri to parse in her current Beta stage

Does SIRI on iPhone5 locate places in Canada now?

I live in Canada, and Siri doesn't locate places in Canada.

Yeah, it has a hard time with igloos.
Have you checked your settings, e.g., settings >location services > scroll down to Siri and turn it on.

Start of locator failed

On Windows when I try to start the TCP locators (gemfilre) after 2 - 3 minutes I get: ERROR: Operation "start-locator" failed because: Start of locator failed. The end of "D:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle ES4\lib\caching\start_locator.log" contained this message: "". The start_locator.log exists but is empty. I run startlocator from a command window as administrator. This is a new installation of ES4 SP1 running in JBoss.

Actually, you dont have to move the cache folder. the prob with the default install is that it adds 2 space in the folder name. You can fix the folder name or fix the start_locator.bat file.
"C:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle ES3" doesn't work.
"C:\Only 2 Spaces\caching\" doesn’t work.
"C:\Only 1Space\caching\" works.
"C:\Adobe\Adobe-LiveCycle ES3" works.
"C:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle" works.
"C:\Adobe\Adobe-LiveCycle-ES3" works.

Why wont Siri find any locations in the UK?

I have just purchased the new iphone 4s and was really looking forward to using Siri.
1st of all, she doesnt seem to recognise things im saying and secondly, she cannot search for any locations in the UK.
Does anyone know why? Surely thousonds of people in the UK will be purchasing this phone in the UK wanting the same thing.
If anyone knows how this can be resolved or has more information on this, I would like to know.

Siri can only currently search for locations and maps in the US. Apples web site has stated that maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012. Have a look here http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri-faq.html

SIRI directions and locations NOT available in CANADA??? ***!!!

Hello Apple??? Canada is not a third world country, there actually is civilization up here. I bought the 4S SPECIFICALLY for the location/direction available thru SIRI. So when I tried finding a Starbuck's - "Sorry, I can't look for places in Canada" I sure hope this is temporary! Not just Starbuck's, but directions, weather information, many commands. Disappointing iPhone

wilmat09, I believe you are missing the point of most of the frustrated complaints on this page. Siri may well be in beta stage, but it was used by Apple as main selling point for people around the world to by the 4S, and aside from small print here and there in obscure places, it was not mentioned in any of the publicities or in any of the keynotes that it was in beta. Also, why not simply generate the response that Siri can ONLY provide locations in the US ? I am using my 4S in Belgium and at first I thought the issue was due to Belgium being a small country, probably not significant enough for the first wave of implementation ... later I experienced same issue in France and UK and am now reading that basically the only country where it works is US.
I have been an apple product fan and user since 1980 (Apple II), and will remain one of the millions of "unpaid apple advocates" , but in the 31 years of using and buying Apple products, I have NEVER known Apple to roll out their main product sales argument (in this case Siri) in beta so clumsily.
In addition, when going through the customer survey I received after purchasing the 4S, I found some very generic (4 in total) questions with tick boxes to reply to, and no possibility at all to provide real meaningful feedback (also a first in my experience with Apple), and after sending a formal e-mail message to the Apple customer service with my frustrations have never received a reply.
Not sure if it is a co-incidence or if it is just me imagining things, but customer satisfaction orientation seems to have taken a turn for the worse with the roll-out of the 4S ... which more or less co-incides with losing Steve Jobs ... I hope this is not going to be the way of the future for Apple.

Siri always using location services?

I do not know if it is supposed to be like this but i just noticed it this morning the location services icon in the upper right is always on. I went to settings to see what was using it and it was Siri. Is this supposed to be like this? Thanks.

Yes, Siri uses Location Services extensively.

Locator: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view

Hi again,
i tried the step-by-step explanation about oracle locator, published on http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/to_toc?pathname=appdev.102%2Fb28004%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Getting+Started%29 (thx to roberto)
i don't know how to explain this simple, but i will try:
1) creating the tables work fine (stores, customers)
2) creating the metadata didn't give an error
3) creating the spatial index gave me this error
|ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
|ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view
|ORA-13203: failed to read USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view
solution found on the internet: "This error occurs if the table you are trying to index does not have any metadata in the USER_ SDO_GEOM_METADATA"
so i tried to do step 2 again (creating a metadata-row for my table). the error i get now:
|ORA-13223: duplicate entry for CUSTOMERS.CUST_GEO_LOCATION in SDO_GEOM_METADATA
|ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MD", line 1723
|ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MDERR", line 17
|ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_TRIG_INS1", line 48
|ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_TRIG_INS1'1. INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA (TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, |DIMINFO, SRID)
|2. VALUES ('CUSTOMERS', 'CUST_GEO_LOCATION',
|3. SDO_DIM_ARRAY
from this, i understand that there is already a record within the metadata view??
next, i tried to delete the specifiek record in user_sdo_geom_metadata. answer:
|0 records deleted
from here, i don't know if the record was created in the user_sdo_geom_metadata, and if it is still there!?
the weird part of all: i tried all these steps in the SQL-command-bar, which is on my database home page.(home >sql>sql commands) that's also where i get the errors.
when i try the same steps in SQL plus, the record is added to user_sdo_geom_metadata and i can create spatial indexes?!
can someone explain me what i do wrong, and why i can't create spatial indexes on my database home page?
I hope I explained my problem clear enough, if not, please ask me some questions.
thx,
Ine

Greetings - I found the excerpt below in the Locator documentation (the link was provided in your previous post), in the first chapter. It doesn't describe why you can't use the Express Edition SQL Commands, only that you must use SQL Plus. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in seeing it, as it appears to confirm your experience ...
"Note:
You cannot use the Express Edition SQL Commands or SQL Scripts features to run a SQL script or enter a SQL statement that creates or requires a spatial index. You must instead use SQL*Plus, such as by selecting Run SQL Command Line from the Express Edition menus, and connect as a database user that has the Create Table privilege."

Siri can't locate my contacts

When I ask Siri to locate a contact, she replies that the contact isn't available and request to search on line.
Additional information:
iPhone 4S with all updates (current software). This problem existed before and after the recent update (completed on 2/
23/2014).
I believe she properly recognizes the name, as her printed request on my screen (what she offers to look up on the internet) exactly matches my contact entry.
I can open my Contacts and use voice recognition to successfully locate the same contact.
It appears to be isolated to Siri.
Thanks in advance for any light you may shed on this issue.

I just had that issue last night. I said call Clare and Siri said. I am not permitted to do that, Jesse.
Turned FaceTime back on and she called right after. Enable FaceTime?

When we can be able to use siri to find locations in israel

we can now only ask siri simple questions in israel
but we cant use it to find locations
other languages for siri?

Siri is still in Beta and business search only works in the US, right now. Apple has announced that search & language support will be expanded in 2012. You'll just have to wait.

HTTP Receive location failing to in BizTalk

Hi All,
BizTalk application receives request from external vendor using HTTP Receive location which uses HTTPReceive.dll
2 servers A and B in the production performing well, but it fails from yesterday. Could see request coming through the IIS in the IIS log, but it is not reaching to biztalk application.
I have tried these steps in both A and B machines
1. restart the biztalk app
2. restart the application pool of the website that connects this app
3. reset iis in the machines
How a request from IIS is routed to machines, I can't understand which machine handles the request, currently it reaches machine B, I could see previous IIS log where it processed successfully in machine A IIS log.
I could see error 500 in machine B IIS log for each request that comes in but cannot make it to BizTalk app
No error log in the event viewer of A and B BizTalk servers.
Can anyone guide me how to resolve it?
Regards
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
If you get HTTP-500 error you will have eventlog entries, not just in IIS logs.
"How a request from IIS is routed to machines, I can't understand which machine handles the request, currently it
reaches machine B, I could see previous IIS log where it processed successfully in machine A IIS log." -
IIS would route to BizTalk machines, only if you have separate servers as webserver(IIS) and BizTalk. If IIS is host in the same servers as BizTalk, then when the IIS receive the message,
it would route to its standalone internal BizTalk server. The routing to different machines is due to the loadbalancer. Your statement is bit contradictory. I assume your IIS is local to the BizTalk servers. So when the client send the message to HTTPReceive.dll,
the url is bound to loadbalacer, which based on its load balancer logic route the message to anyone of the BizTalk server's IIS (machine A and machine B) hence you see two different IIS logs in machine A and machine B.
Many Load-balancers, I have seen work with a unique logic where they send the requests primary to one server always and only if that primary server is busy (or not available) then it would
send it to other server. May be load-balancer have been sending its request to mahicne-A until recently and may be due to some reasons its sending the request to machine-B now. The reason machine-B may not be working now, could be because it was never configured
properly before and when machine-B start to receive the message, it gives error(as load-balancer request are always handled by machine-A before). To prove this, stop IIS in machine-B and see machine-A receive the message.
For this HTTP-500 error, check the HTTPReceive.dll is configured correctly. Check the following articles for configuration:
Configuring BTSHTTPReceive.dll to work on IIS 7
http://www.biztalkbill.com/Home/tabid/40/EntryId/66/Configuring-BTSHTTPReceive-dll-to-work-on-IIS-7.aspx

Multiple lines of event title and location failed to show for All Day event in SharePoint 2010 Calendar

I have a calendar with SPD workflow to display multiple lines for Title, Attendees, Location.
1. Created a custom columne "Breaklines" and set to "Multiple lines of text"
2. Set Monthly View to display the "Breaklines"
3. in SPD I created a workflow like this:
4. On the Calendar page, I used a javascript to remove the <br/>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script><script
type="text/javascript">
function updateCalendarWeekday()
   $('.ms-acal-title').each(function(){
    var str = $(this).html();
    str = str.replace(/</g,
"<");
    str = str.replace(/>/g,
">");
    $(this).html(str);
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push('calendarEventLinkIntercept');
// hook into the existing SharePoint calendar load function
function calendarEventLinkIntercept()
   var OldCalendarNotify4a
= SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a;
   SP.UI.ApplicationPages.CalendarNotify.$4a
= function ()
      OldCalendarNotify4a();
      updateCalendarWeekday();
}</script><style>
.ms-acal-item
                HEIGHT:
60px !important
.ms-acal-summary-itemrow
                HEIGHT:
85px !important
}</style>
Everything works fine, except that when the All Day event is checked, the display screwed like this:
I guess that when the event is All Day Event, the Start Time and End Time is not filled by the user (although they show in the form as 12:00 am -11:59PM), so the top line space is now used to display Title and Location. Since the Top Space for
Start and End Time is a single line, it displays everything on one line. Plus the script does not act on this space.
Does anyone know a fix for this problem?
Thanks for any tips!

Is there a way to modify the javescript so that it also works in the "start-end time" space?
