TS4079 How can we make Siri to understand more about the history of our house?

I would like to know what the historical buildings that has been remodeled to look like before they got remodeled, and I would like to know when they were built actually.

From someone that researched the history of our house, Siri won't help you. YOu need to spend some quality time researching the deed which shoudl be filed at the county clerk's office (they have buy/sell records for every piece of property...who you bought it from, who they bought it from, etc, all the way back to the original land sale and building permit), as well as the Polk Directory, which at the turn of the century did a yearly/biyearly listing of who lives where and works where.
If you're really lucky, your local history museum has files online, if you're not, there's a lot of tedious book work to be done.
Siri doesn't do that. She accesses things like google maps to tell you how many hardware stores are within 30 miles, or other specific sites to pull up data like temperature, forecast, etc. She's nothing but a vocal version of google that only operates within a specific set of parameters.

    How can I make sure my IPad 2 is using the wireless internet in my house and not the 3G? I don't want to be charge for data usage by my carrier.

    Turn off the Celular Data option in your ipad setting. You will see the name of your 3g service provider gone from top left corner.

    How can I make Siri choose the correct phone number to text when I ask it to send a text message to a contact who has a phone number and an email address?

    Johnathan,
    Can Siri record a voice memo?
    Do you know if it can read older text messages by just asking?
    Thanks

  • How can I make signature darker when I print the report?

    I need to put my manager's signature on the report. The signature is too light, How can I make it darker when I print the report?
    I used file link and OLE, both did't make it.
    Thanks.

    No way to do it directly in the report. You need to work with signature image file using any graphic software to increase its contrast. The easiest probably would be to use Paintbrush and change the image to black-and-white, then save back as jpeg file.

  • How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server?

    How can I make my imap email not take the emails off the server when I delete them on my iPad?
    Can anyone help me whith this?
    I tried to use the pop account in gmail settings but that was downloading all my emails sice 2008 ( more than 300 deleted emails tha can only be found in the deleted email box), when I just have 5 or 6 email in the inbox .
    How can I solve this????
    Thank u all...

    I have the same problem. For years I have been able to delete emails from my ipad and have them remain on the server so I can deal with them on the desktop. Now they get deleted from the server when deleted from the ipad, which makes the ipad unless for reading mail.
    You answered to delete the email account on the ipad and set up a new one as a pop. I have made many attempts to do that in the  incomping mail server "Host Name" field but it always errors out even when the host name is equal to what my desk top has. So I can see no way to change away from IMAP. I started with an ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2.

    GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
    as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

    how can i make voiceover read paragraphs than reading the entire page of an ebook

    If you are using rectangle as layer or accordion menu then you can use 100% width for these page items.
    In control strip options , when you select the rectangle you can view 100% width button which would make it browser width.

  • How can I make my Apple TV more reliable? It takes a day to download a HD movie on a T1 to play later, but when I try to play the movies, Apple TV can't, and says try again later. Doesn't the day download time put the HD movie on the Apple TV device?

    How can I make my Apple TV work? I downloaded two movies, to play later, on April 4, 2014. I tried to watch them this evening only to get a message they are not available and to try later. How long can it take Apple to download the movies? I encourage anyone thinking about buying an Apple TV to get a different media player that is reliable. Apple TV is not worth the money, nor the time it takes to download movies, nor the effort trying to get your money back when Apple TV fails,and it failsl oftern.. Apple never seems to have a problem charging for the movies, but it frequently has a provlem delivering what people pay for.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

    As a student, you might be able to get Office for Mac from the college bookstore at a substantial discount. Otherwise, I think your best option for documents that need to be shared with Office users is to get one of the free Office clones such as LibreOffice.
