Stopping Siri from making calls

Hi guys, is there anyway of stopping Siri from making calls? The problem I am having is that I use Siri on my motorcycle and at high speeds it gets the commands wrong. For example, I say 'play podcasts' and it calls one of my contacts.

My bad.
I had Airplane mode on but WiFi was also still on when I tested it on my phone.
Scratch that idea...
Here's another one.
If you turn off Siri altogether, you'll revert to the older Voice Control which doesn't rely on a nertwork connection.
Perhaps, that mode will be less likely to misunderstand than Siri.

How can I stop Siri from speaking certain words as I text??? It is so annoying and unnecessary!

Actually, I did notice the thread age. However, this phenomenon only appeared with mu phone in the last week.
You and I both would hope that it was corrected long ago, but that is evidently not the case.
I added information that will be useful for anyone else encountering my recent situation, now or perhaps in some distant future.
If you are aggravated by notices re: threads over two years old, perhaps you should disengage from the thread in lieu of making
snarky remarks to those of us still getting useful information from them.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
*Read the information on the above page
*Set options for the add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (the 2 options are defined/explained in the above page).

How to stop mkinitcpio from making a fallback image [solved]

I have never needed to boot to my fallback kernel image so I am wondering how to stop mkinitcpio from making one.

I have never needed my car's airbags, but that doesn't mean I want to remove them.
If you are determined, you could take a look at /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset.
(edit) You could probably have figured this out for yourself. I just looked it up in the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … figuration

My iphone 4 just stopped receiving or making calls. I have tried everything! Help!!!

Okay, one day a little less than a MONTH ago, my iphone 4 just stopped receiving calls(90% of the time) and making calls(50% of the time.). I panicked because my job depends on my phone to work. So, i go to apple, ATT, back to apple, back to ATT, etc. There is no end to this. And, literally, the people at ATT and Apple, keep telling me that they are probably not going to figure out a solution, and that I should just cancel my account. Now, I really don't want to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!New iphone from apple because they thought it was a ATT problem but gave me new iphone 4 anyway, new sim about 1 minute after the new phone, new phone number. The engineers at ATT said if i relocated and told them that i was moving, it would give me a new number and reset all the routing stuff. I didn't want to do this because of losing my number with business, but had to resort to it anyway. Now I have a number from a different state, and I still have the problem!!!!!!!!! I have exhausted all my options with apple and att, and both tell me the only thing i can do is buy a prepaid phone from a different service! I need my iphone for work, and this has been going on for over a month now. I was told there was a routing issue, but the engineers opened a ticket on it, and NO solution. Then they opened a second case ticket, and still no good. They are claiming I should cancel and buy a new phone. My phone just stopped recieving calls one day. No notification of missed calls, EVER since this started happening. Voicemails go thru( only some of them) about an hour or two later, and texts are taking a bit longer than usual. I have really tried everything the engineers can think of, even getting a brand new phone! Please someone help me!!!!!!!! I am desperate!!!!!!!!!!!! This happens anywhere i go, not just in my area.

Might sound silly but is the mute switch on the left side of the phone in the correct position?

How can I prevent my iPhone from making calls on its own?

I often put my iPhone in my pocket. Sometimes I then discover that it is making calls on its own.
How can I prevent this?
Thanks.

Turn on auto lock. I have never had my iPhone once do anything without me doing it.

How to stop Google from making site the top search result

I created a website for a clinic that's part of a large hospital. Unfortunately when someone googles the name of the large hospital, the clinic's website with address, map and phone number, comes up first on the search results. So the poor clinic receptionist is fielding a lot of phone calls from people thinking the clinic's number is the hospital's general phone number.
So first I removed the name of the hospital (except in an image) from the home page, and took the hospital name out of the address text. I tried using Google's URL removal tool to tell them to stop using the clinic website for the hospital name search. But each request there is marked denied after a few days. Even tried the Google option to have them reindex the site. So far nothing has worked, and it's been a month.
So does anyone have any other ideas to try and get Google to de-rank or remove the clinic site from the hospital name search results?

Thanks for the robot.txt idea. I didn't know about that.
It seems that won't work though, as I still want all pages to be indexed so people can find the site when they are looking for just the clinic. It's just stopping the query for the hospital from returning the site.
But I've now noticed that the actual site link is further down the search results, but the tiny map and address that show up at the top of the query ( i.e. when you search for a business) is being taken from the clinic address and website.
I'm wondering if it's because I used the Google Map widget in the website. I'm going to try and replace the map widget with a gif of the map and see if that helps. Open to other ideas here too.

How to stop Siri from sending email invitations?

Hello!
When I put a meeting or appointment on my calendar using Siri, I find that it sends out an email to the person. Yikes! I don't want this to happen unless I specifically send such emails. How can I stop this?
Thanks!
Michael

I've noticed this too. When Siri creates one (from my words) like 'Appointment with Dr. Smith', no invite is sent. If I use the name corresponding to his card in my contacts, the email is sent without confirming.
Another topic suggests a setting in Calendar on iCloud.com. (Settings is at bottom left.)
Elsewhere, a suggestion to turn off 'New Invitation Alerts' in iPhone Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars (1st item under Calendars) Going to give this a try.
Have you found a solution Michael?
We need a way to opt in or out of that email....
Going to file a bug report on this.

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

Can I stop iWeb from making png image files for text boxes?

I have a web page that contains one text box - the TextEdit file from which I pasted the text is 4 KB. The html file from iWeb is 12 KB. The shapeimage_2.png file is 132 KB! Is this necessary? How do I stop this. This is just text. Arial font, regular, 15 pt. The formating in the TextEdit version and the iWeb version is identical.

Some tips from this forum for reducing the number of png files in a web site:
1 - do not use and frames or borders, etc. around photos.
2 - don't use any reflections.
3 - create your own navigation bar with linked text* and turn of the iWeb Navigation bar. That's because the nav bar is all png based.
*Put your linked text directly under the Navigation bar. Then turn off the nav bar in the Inspector window. The nav bar will disappear and the linked text will move up to the top of the page as seen in this screenshot.
4 - use only the web safe fonts from the Font pane.
5 - do not use drop shadow on fonts.
6 - turn off smart quotes
7 - if you add a jpg to a page don't resize it in iWeb as that will cause it to be converted to png. Resize it to what you need before adding to the page..
The above will reduce the number and size of files associated with a web page quite a bit. Photos with fancy frames and reflections can generate a thumbnail png of around 110KB whereas the plain version will be a jpg of only 28KB. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, it will speed up loading of the page and be more darkside (i.e. PC) friendly.
Run a test with a test site and publish to a folder. Then follow the hints above and publish to another folder and compare folders.

Can you stop iphoto from making 'events'

Hi,
I dont really understand why Iphoto places all your photos into different sections depending on the day the photo was taken..
I just imported all my photos from my iphone, and now I have 1000's of different events with 2-3 photos each in them, making the screen look very messy, unorganised and hard to search through.
Is there a way to just simply display all of the photos at once without silly little 'events' for every single day?
Thanks

On Saturday I go to a wedding and take lots of piccies, on Sunday I go for a walk with friends to blow the hang-over away, on Monday I take my camera to work to take some pictures of the presentationsome colleagues give in the afternoon.
That is o.k., as long related pictures have been taken consecutively. If you are working at three projects simultaniously and are shooting the photos in the same place at the same time, you may want another organization, for example, you spend three days in a city to take pictures for a book on fountains, a book on churches, and a book on birds. The photos will be mixed and not separated by time. I dove sitting on a fountain in front of the church would be needed for all three projects. iPhoto's daily events will not reflect the projects you are working on. The name "shoot" for the photos taken on one day would be more meaningful than "event" in this case.
