SIRI has started speaking and inserting punctuation. How do I stop it?
This post is on behalf of a blind person who uses SIRI a lot but for some unknown reason SIRI has suddenly started inserting punctuation into its replies. I cannot find any setting that will switch this feature on or off. It is as if SIRI is dictating to itself. Any help for finding the right control would be appreciated.
This is what I suspected so I asked SIRI 'How do I stop SIRI speaking punctuation' and she came back to me saying she didn't know and to our great amusement also spoke out the punctuation within her reply - totally bizarre.

This started when I visited the website of Tom Tom GPS. Now every time I boot the computer, Firefox opens and my home page is Tom Tom. I don't want Firefox to open when I boot and I don't want Tom \Tom as my home page.
Hi fullrun-
Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps. -
err = 3150 - this issue has started recently and continues to persist with all of my downloads - please help
Is it error 3150 or -3150 ? If -3150 then have you tried the troubleshooting for that error number on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297 ?
"Error -3150"
This alert is often related to a lost connection to the iTunes Store.
If you encounter this alert and you have verified you have a connection to the Internet using Wi-Fi, please review AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference.
If the issue persists, and you're using iTunes for Windows, you may need to flush your DNS and remove pop-up or ad-blockers.
Finally, this can occur due to timeouts caused by security software. -

my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.
What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

Hey guys an gals sorry if this has been asked 100's times before but...
Why does my mrs phone keep getting my contacts from iCloud and more importantly how do i stop it!?
Thanks for your help :-)Thanks for you reply, she already has her own account and wants to back her own contacts up to the cloud, we have tried turning both contacts off in icloud settings, also deleting from phone when prompted, then, we also deleted all her icloud backups to start a fresh. However soon as she turns contacts back on.. Bam they re appear. We also have ipad in the mix so we did the same to that, turned off and deleted contacts on there also to no avail. Somehow they are linked to my acount just cant work out how or where?

trying to do an upgrade to microsoft office for mac. Asks to Stop deamon and other processes How do I stop?
You switch to the applications that are named, and quit them. But sometimes they are, like daemons, not normal applications. For those, you need to open Activity Monitor, find the name of the daemon in the list of processes in the Activity Monitor window, select the process and choose View/Quit Process.

I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?
Quit Aperture
Then disconnect from internet (WiFi, Ethernet, etc.)
Launch Aperture again.
In the Aperture Preferences Web Tab remove MobileMe.
After that you can connect again to to the Internet.
Probably the "Quit" button does not work. Then try to quit using the Terminal to avoid "Force Quit":
Launch the Terminal (from Applications > Utilities) and enter
killalll Aperture
If this does not work, use "Force Quit".
See here why to avoid force quitting:
If Aperture is unresponsive, how to avoid force quitting?

I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?
When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

my childs ipod and my ipad have the same email address and itunes ID how do I stop both devices duplicating everything, change email address or set up new itunes account?
On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.

Jump around. Perhaps you could elaborate - what seems to be moving around, and under what conditions? Even better if you could include pics or movies of this behavior.
