Voice Control - does it learn and what's the "Wrong" command for?

1) Like others, I find Voice Control laughably inaccurate sometimes when trying to get it to play an artist. I'm wondering if it "learns" and gets better the more you use it?
2) In the manual, there's a command you can called "wrong" or "nope". In what situation would I use it? Whenever I've tried so far, by the time I get to say it, the original (incorrect) command has already executed!

"Wrong" or "No" is for stopping a command and returning voice control to the listening phase. "Cancel" takes you out of voice control. If the command is to play or call a specific name, you can cancel it, but if it's a simple command like "play", "shuffle", "genius", or "what's playing" there is no cancel.
VC for iPod control seems to have a serious bug. It's not inaccurate, it's just not working.
There seems to be a condition where it will only recognize the first few artists in your library, and often not at all. I have restored my phone several times, rebuilt my iTunes library on the PC, and have yet to get it working properly.
I have experienced, variously, after each restore and reload of the phone:
- Voice control will not start, or never gets to where it is listening (with the waveform). This can usually be fixed by a hard reset.
- Only artists from the first part of the alphabet are recognized. Only albums by these artists are recognized, regardless of letter. If I say anything else, it will pick the artist/album from these artists that sounds the most like what I say. One time it was artists A-F, the other time it was just the first 4 "A" artists. Contacts and playlists are recognized OK.
- Even worse: No artists, albums, or playlists are recognized. Simple commands and contacts still work. This is where I'm at now, after a clean load of iTunes, a newly built iTunes library, a complete restore of the iPhone software, and set up as a NEW phone (no backup restored). That's as clean as you can get.
I've been to the Genius Bar, and I've called support. Both times they have escalated my case to an an engineer. Apple is willing to replace my phone in-store tomorrow, but I don't think it is a hardware problem: The mic works, the headset mic works, and other VC features work.
The only thing I can think of at this point is there is some artist/album name in my library that is causing it to fail?

  • I just got iTunes 11.0. I'm used to being able to return to the beginning of a song by hitting 'enter'. What's the new command for skipping to the head of a song?

    I just got iTunes 11.0. From all the previous versions I'm used to being able to return to the beginning of a song by hitting 'enter'. What's the new command for skipping to the head of a song?

    Mmmmmm. Works OK for me. I've tried every variation I can think of. Play from playlist, play from library, shuffle on, shuffle off, single song repeat on/off, playlist repeat on/off.
    WAIT !!   Now I've found it  !!  It happens when I have the sidebar hidden and play a playlist from the PLAYLIST pane. Hitting Enter then takes me to the FIRST song in the playlist.
    WAIT AGAIN !!! In the time it took to write the above, it changed again and works properly. Well properly is not really true. It works if I stay in the PLAYLIST pane. If I switch to the SONGS, ALBUMS or ARTISTS pane, enter does nothing. BUT, if I switch to the GENRES pane, enter starts the first song there. AND, if I've switched away from the PLAYLIST pane and switch back, enter then starts the first song in the playlist.
    WOW !! That was a crazy ride. I think we can safely say that there is something awry.

  • What data does SNMP return and what is the best way to explore it?

    Hi All
    I have some queries about using SNMP on Cisco devices.
    1. What is the best way to get an idea of what data MIBs can return?
    I have entered the commmand "show snmp mib". However, the number of MIBs generated is huge!
    2. Can you enter a command on the Cisco device itself that returns snmp data?
    e.g. if I want to see what data a MIB entry returns, can I interrogate it on the Cisco device itself rather than having to rely on network management software?
    The reason I ask is that we are currently looking for Network Management Software. However, I have no idea what data SNMP can return, therefore don't know if what the Management Software offers is comprehensive or not.
    Any suggestions on how best to get an idea the data SNMP can generate plus any other suggestions are very welcome!
    Thanks
    John

    Generally speaking, snmp can query about any parameter of the system. An enterprise class device has almost all conceivable parameters instrumented thus. A device's inventory (chassis, cards, ports, power supplies, software image, etc.) and the state of its interfaces and traffic they are carrying are among the primary ones.
    You can query a device's snmp variables remotely "by hand" using an open source distribution of a tool like snmpwalk. You need to know what you're looking for - i.e., the exact oid (object ID) string or else you get a long reply like you alluded to. It also helps to have the actual MIB you are querying against locally so that the output you get will be human-readable. Otherwise you'll get long numeric strings (the snmp oid) followed by alphanumeric values which may or may not make sense at first glance depending on the oid being queried. A MIB's purpose is to add that abstraction layer / interpretation to make the output more useful to the operator.
    The purpose of an NMS (very generally speaking) is to give an even higher layer of abstraction to organize the querying and reporting of all these various data into a useful system with dashboards, graphs, reports etc.

  • OnChange() event how does it work and what is the syntax

    hi,
    i have a field (County) on a form in a jsp page that needs to get all its values from the database and present it to the user also i have another field (year) this also needs to get all its values as a drop down from the database.
    i dont have any lib tag available to use and can't afford the time to set this up. so just have to script in jsp or use beans in jsp.
    my question is 2fold
    Q1. - i was thinking of having a DataAccess (dA) object to run a sql to select * distict couties ...
    also have another query in DataAccess select * Distinct year....
    and in the jsp instantiate the (dA) and iterate through and fill the select drop down box - how to code this syntax i'm not sure and if this is the correct approach or the only approach would appreciate some sample code that i can mess around with thanks.
    - is above approach best way of doing this. - also taking into account Q2.
    Q2 - when the user selects county then i need to fire a onChange event - probably using javascript but not sure how this works - bascially i need to then update the year drop down according to the below sql-
    again how is this possible - and is this the best approach or will it be too many calls to the database - especially consdering that the forms are all part of a search tool.
    SELECT     DISTINCT     v.year
    FROM          v_volumes     v
    WHERE          v.county     = <the selected county>
    OR          (v.county_reference     =
                   (SELECT     ca.county_reference
                    FROM          county_aliases     ca
                    ,          counties     c
                    WHERE     ca.county_reference_also_called     = c.county_reference
                    AND          c.county     = <the selected county>)
    ORDER BY v.year

    Sorry to rain on your parade, but its not going to be quite that simple.
    Populating a second dropdown depending on the first one, has been discussed quite in depth on this forum, I suggest you do a search to look at older posts.
    Javascript code cannot call java/database code from an onclick event.
    The best it can do is trigger a form submission, which reloads the page
    running any java/sql code that displaying the page entails.
    So onlick event on the first dropdown triggers a form submit, which loads the page with the correct values in the second dropdown.
    con: requires a page request
    The other approach is to download ALL possible values to the jsp page, and have javascript handle the swapping of values.
    pro: no page refresh needed
    con: must have all data available on the page. javascript is a bit more complicated.
    Hope this helps,

  • What is the most effective way to get ospf to function and what is the basic command structure

    I am doing a project of ospf and need to know if I am on the right tract somehow these commands are not working and wondering if I am doing something wrong.

    Hello,
    I would say the basic configuration for OSPF should be:
    1. router ospf  1
             2.   Router-id 2.2.2.2 ( if you want to hardcode the router-id else you can go with the default which would be the highest interface on your router)
             3.  Network  192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 (telling the router * I care about the 192.168.0 part of my ip and the last part can be anything thus the 255)
        4.      Net   192.168.2.2 0.0.0.255 area 0 (telling the router * I care about the 192.168.2 part of my ip and the last part can be anything thus the 255)
    OR for the 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.2.0 you could just have 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 meaning I only care about 192.168 and 0.0 can be anything.
    The four lines above would be my basic config for ospf. Also have a look at these links, they provide some insight into ospf and how it should be configured. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_ospf/configuration/12-4/iro-cfg.html#GUID-588D1301-F63C-4DAC-BF1C-C3735EB13673
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/tk480/tsd_technology_support_sub-protocol_home.html
    I have also experienced that I cannot configure all OSPF commands on PT but prob GNS3 allow all configs.

  • Att vs. verizon and what are the termination charges for switching

    What are the early termination fees?  I have a total of 5 lines 2 are out of contract 3 will be out of contract june 2015.  AT&T has offered me unlimited txt talk and 30 gb of shared data as well as 5 new iphone 6's for a grand total of $205 a month!!! plyus tax of course and that price is locked in no contract either.  i may have to switch carriers my bill now is almost 300 a month with only 2 iphones and 3 basic phones.  just dont know what those termination fees would be.

    Assuming the 3 line are smartphones the ETF would be $600 total. Basic phones would be $300.  An sorry you were lied to by at&t. That's price is not taking into account the cost of the phones.
    30 GB $130
    5 Line $15 each=$75
    total $205
    However you also have to pay for the phones. Assuming the cheapest iPhone 6 and assuming you chose the 24 month payment plan that's another $135 a month. So $340 total. And you'll have to pay the sales tax on those phones upfront or on your first bill. What the sales tax on $3250 in your area?

  • What is the key command for locating a bar and beat

    I record myself and clients who want to continually locate and start playing at different bars and beats very quickly so I can punch them in to record.  In Digital Performer I use the period key to type in the bar and beat and in Pro Tools I use the equal sign.  Maybe I'm asking the wrong key commands question but I can't find the locate bar and beat command in Logic 9.  I know it's probably the most simple thing, but I can't waste any more time looking for such a basic operation.  Seems like it should be easier to find the command.

  • What Is The Terminal Command For PRAM & SMC Reset?

    Hi Folks - Cant get my Macbook Pro to shut down (instead it does a re-start) thus the key combination for these re-sets doesnt seem to function (no chimes). I saw in another thread a terminal command entry "sudo nvram boot-args=”-p -r” but I also saw it mentioned that entering that casued the following to pop-up "Note that resetting the PRAM will wipe out the contents of the boot-args environment variable, which means the command would need to be reissued each startup." Whats with "reissued each startup"? Also would like a an SMC re-set command. THANKS in advance!

    I dont know of a terminal command but here is how to reset the SMC:
    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery (to remove the battery - click here: MacBook or MacBook Pro).
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • What is the sql command for SELECT with OR condition

    Hi
    What is the correct sql command for doing select with or condition??
    SELECT * from TempData
    WHERE port = '123'
    OR serialnumber = '555'
    So if there is a port = 123 or if there is a serialnumber = 555, I will get a successful select.
    Thanks for helping a newbie!!

    So if there is a port = 123 or if there is a

    Thanks for helping a newbie!!Make sure you bracket your OR conditions
    eg
    SELECT * from TempData
    WHERE column = 'VALUE'
    and port = '123'
    OR serialnumber = '555'
    is read as
    SELECT * from TempData
    WHERE (column = 'VALUE'
    and port = '123' )
    OR serialnumber = '555'
    which is not the same as
    SELECT * from TempData

    and ( port = '123'
    OR serialnumber = '555' )

  • Bought a mac mini and it's the wrong machine for my needs

    HI all
    I bought the solid state drive mini mac - stupidly didn't realise that it had such low storage -
    then I made my biggest mistake - I left it in the box for 2 months over xmas as I wanted plenty of time to make the transition from my old mac pro
    Now I realise that the machine is no use - I'm a photographer with lots of large files and it's simply got hardly any storage - but mac won't replace for me with a different drive -
    i understand that they have a retuurns deadline but sometimes it makes sense to bend the rules! All of my computers (since 1990) have been macs and I've  spent a fortune with them over the years - I'm not even asking for a refund, just a replacement -
    very disappointed -
    any ideas anyone??

    All you can do is call the Apple Store number and plead your case with them.  Regardless of the fact it has never been out of the box, if they bend the return policy for someone after two months or more, then where do they draw they line?  They cannot re-sell that device as new (illegal to do so), so they take a loss on it if they accept it back now.  That is why the return policy is short, and in my experience, strict.
    You should be able to get a good price for it yourself though, since you have the receipt so can justify the claim it is new, unused in the box to any buyer.  Or give something like craig's list a try and suggest a swap of some kind?
    Or how about using it, and just get a nice huge external storage, even a home RAID?  The most you can possible get in a mini is 2x1TB, which for many uses these days, is still "small".  For example, get a lightening 4GB G-technology box from the Apple store for $600.00, or one of the Promise lightening RAID boxes (although those are more expensive).
