Siri sometimes makes me feel like iPhone 3.99 rather than 4s...

One of the major reasons i sold my iPhone 4 and purchased the 4s is because of siri (and i wanted a different color). However, what i didn't know is what is bothering me. I didn't realize that siri is dependent upon a network connection for ANY command. For the past few days, i've felt like I downgraded rather than upgradeed...i cannot even voicedail because siri "cannot connect to the network." Seriously??? Can't even voicedial consistently?
I hope apple figures out a way to roll out an update that allows voicedialing to be done from the local handset separate from siri's servers or something...this is major FAIL.

Well, for one thing, Siri has had some service hiccups, in the last day or so, and wasn't able to connect to the network for a large part of yesterday. I think things are fine now...
Also, Siri is in beta. Apple warned us that they would constantly be making tweaks and changes to the Siri engine, and if that means that some things don't work here and there, just know that it is because they are trying to make it 10X better.
Sorry that you are having those problems, though. Remember, it's a beta.

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible?

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.

I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
MW Design - Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images. I hope that made sense.

IPhoto Slideshow: Sometimes the slideshow starts at the last image, rather than the first. How do I ensure the slideshow commences at the first image?

iPhoto Slideshow: Sometimes the slideshow starts at the last image, rather than the first. How do I ensure the slideshow commences at the first image?

Is this a slideshow played directly from an album or Event or one created in the slideshow mode?
If it's the former that's been a problem for a many users. There hasn't been a firm fix found for it as yet.
There is a workaround. Put the photos in the order you want, select them all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text menu option. Put in Slide and check the box to add a sequential number to give you Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
Now when clicking the play button at the bottom of the Album or Event window the slides will play in the order Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
The best workaround is to use the iPhoto slideshow mode to crate the slideshow. There's been no reorts of similar problems in that mode.

Debugging that makes you feel like a dope

I have a PHP page with this code -
<?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); ?>
<?php
require_once("../WA_Universal_Email/Mail_for_Linux_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php
require_once("../WA_Universal_Email/MailFormatting_PHP.php"); ?>
<?php
/*echo '$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] = ' .
$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] .
" ";
echo '$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] ';
echo (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]))?'TRUE' .
' ':'FALSE' . ' ';
echo "1st part = " . (urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"])) .
' ';
echo '2nd part = ' .
$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . ' ';
echo 'last part --> strpos>0 = ' .
(strpos(urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]),
urldecode($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])) >
0)?'TRUE':'FALSE';
echo (isset($_POST))?' $_POST IS
SET':" $_POST IS NOT SET" . ' ';
?>
<?php exit("here "); ?>
Can you see why the exit is not working? <wringing

I had broken out of using the default quiz slides and had recreated as my own slides mainly so the user only had to click once and regardless of what was clicked, they received feedback and went on to the next slide.
I'm thinking about rewriting the script to include a few scenario based interactions that should meet the requirement of knowledge checking and, hopefully, not feel like a quiz.
The questions won't be scored. I'll look at your blog too, thanks!

How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

Treats every graphic link/button like a view image rather than directing me to the target address.

Not sure how to explain this -
if I'm visiting a website and click on a graphic link, it directs me to a new tab displaying the graphic image I just clicked, rather than the target site. It treats every graphic link (or button) like I'm asking to "view image".
I've tried right clicking to "open link in new tab" - same result.
Sorry I can't explain it any clearer.

How does one make CC the default out of ACR rather than CC 2014?

I installed the updates for PS CC and PS CC 2014. Now, when opening a file out of ACR, it defaults to CC 2014. How does one set things so that it opens in CC rather than CC 2014?

GB has two "modes": In "musical time" the units of the timeline are bars and beats, in "real time", they're seconds. You can switch between them by clicking the clock/note symbols near the play button.
"Snap to grid" only works in the musical time mode.
An Apple Loop is always supposed to be an integer number of measures long. So if you're in 4/4 it can be 1, 2, 3 ... measures (which is 4, 8, 12 ... beats) long. Since the concept of loops is to be in rhythm with the beat of your song, this makes sense - so it is assured that the "one" of a drum loop, e.g., always sits on the "one" of a measure.
If your loop is only half a measure long, you can double it to make a full bar. If your loop is not in rhythm at all with a beat - well, then it probably doesn't make sense to turn it into a loop that adjusts to the tempo in the first place. You can still turn it into a "static" kind of loop.

Sorting contacts on iphone by company rather than individual names

has anyone seen an application that will sort the contacts by company name rather than the individual names?

You can't sort your contacts by anything but name directly on the phone, but a little work on the computer can give a result that might work. I create groups in my contact manager that syncs to the iPhone. I can put people from different businesses in different groups. That way I can choose a specific group to look through, rather than all the contacts. It also works to separate out family and friends, etc. But you can't create the groups on the phone, only on the computer, and then sync them to the phone.

HT204088 Why am I being charged three times for an game that I purchased? Plus, there is nothing in your website to address this problem. It makes me feel like this company is just trying to steal my money if I do not look or question my billing account.

How do I get extra charges credited back to my account? I was over charged three times on an app I bought.

So any time any company accidentally charges you 2-3 times, they are trying to steal your money? In most cases, they fix it on their own after they catch it. If you want to make them aware of the issue, contact iTunes Support: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

Anyone else feeling like this is more trouble than it is worth?

I am currently under the grandfather plan of unlimited data, text with 450 minutes and an employee discount. I have enjoyed the usage of my Droidx for almost 3 years now. It had a good run, but the pinch of an $80 smart phone plan just doesn't seem worth it anymore. To be honest, for me the pricing of cell phone plans is getting out of control. Like everything else it seems, prices have gone up, but per usual, my income has not.
The share-everything plans look like absolute nightmares and terrible deals, and to switch over would increase my costs by $20 for what I feel is a very bad deal, seeing as I do not use many minutes on my cell phone. Although I take very good care of my phone, I am not naive enough to think that it will last forever. 2GB data plan is hardly what I would call a pot to pee in, especially with e-mail, web, pictures, etc. I realize the bottom line of the company is to make money, but lately it just seems like all of the hooplah that comes with smartphones is enough to try the patience of any saint. I'm contemplating alternatives, but I am not sure where to start. Perhaps it's time just to go to good old prepaid cell phone, and pretend I never had internet to begin with
I think the turning point for me today was the phone call I received from Verizon regarding my bills. I've never had a late bill in the 16 years I have been with them, but for some reason, my payment for February did not go through.The first words out of this lady's mouth were "I'm _____ from Verizon Wireless, you owe us ___________ how will you be paying your bill today?" Seriously? First time being late, and even though I have e-mail notifications, this is the crap I am greeted with upon answering the phone. No thank you, kiss my rear, nothing? What am I, chopped liver? Lol.

It sounds like you've been scammed. Firefox is a completely free browser that doesn't require either payment or registration. Never download it from anywhere but the official site:

You'll have to sort out the situation with whoever took your money, or failing that, with your bank or credit card company.

Transfer file to iPhone with wire rather than use iTunes match

Hi, I have iTunes match. I create DJ mixes and my own tunes so every time I want to put them on phone I have to currently:
1. Save them to itunes
2. Upload them to iTunes match (which takes around 43 days)
3. Wait another 3 weeks
4. Download them to iphone
Now this process has slowly started to irritate the absolute sh!tters out of me especially when on my old android phone I just plugged it in and dragged them over - thus 200MB file done in less than a minute - compared to around 67 days using iPhone.
Do I have to just turn off iTunes Match and never ever user it again? I suppose I could do this but I do quite like the facility to download any track at any time so WHY CANT I JUST F%%$KIN DRAG MY MUSIC ACROSSS FFS.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

It's ok I've [sort of] solved this, it's a bit long winded which is what I expect nowadays from Apple but at least it doesn't allow anyone to access their iPhone filesystem - god forbid.
Basically you have to turn off iTunes match on iphone, plug in iPhone - you may have to 'set up as new iPhone' which scared me a bit as it isn't new - I 've just never plugged it in... anyway it will then start 'syncing' which scared the sh1t out of me, but it seemed to be ok. Then you can drag files from iTunes into your iPhone viola!
I'm beginning to think iTunes Match is probably great for someone that buys all their music from iTunes and only ever listens to individual tracks/albums, but for me when I mainly listen to 2-3 hour long mixes, none of which are obviously in apples matching library - the upload speeds are just too slow.
Still, the frustration is in the v poor iTunes interface - the fact that the progress bar gives no actual indication where it's up to or what it's doing. And another thing is when you try and import an unrecognised file format such as FLAC or AVI. OK this is frustrating in itself but ignoring the fact you can't, YOU JUST DONT GET ANY ERROR MESSAGE - NOTHING, it doesn't say sorry it can't import the file, iTunes doesn't support it. It just does NOTHING - so the obvious assumption is that it HAS ACTUALLY IMPORTED IT. And then when you go to play/view said file sometimes ages after you realise that it didn't actually import.
These user interface errors I learned to avoid whilst writing computer programs in GCSE computing when I was 15 years old. So maybe Apple need to hire some new developers it's shocking.
RANT OVER.

Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook rather than syncing

I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).

I want to open bookmarked pages in a new tab, like it used to, rather than having it replace the current page in the current tab. Ho do I do this?

In earlier verisions of Firefox, when I opened bookmarked pages, they opened in a new tab. Now, in version 6.0.1, when I open a bookmark, it opens in the current tab and replaces the page I am reading. I want the bookmarks to open in a new tab just like links open in a new tab. How do I do that?

Middle-click the bookmark with the mouse scroll wheel to open the link in a new tab.
