<description>A few weeks ago, a number of people started reporting having trouble with Siri. Phrases like 'Call my wife' or 'Tell my dad' stopped working. Siri knew who those people were but proclaimed 'Uh oh, I don't have a phone number for Jane Isa Doe.&quot; and beneath, there's a message: &quot;Content Not Available.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I debugged this for over an hour and on a hunch, found a workaround that seems to work for nearly everyone who has tried it. All you have to do is delete the middle name of the person in *your* contact card where it is stored as a relationship.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm not sure why that works; it shouldn't, but it does. That's why I call it a workaround instead of a fix. I figure Apple is mucking around with Siri and perhaps caused a bug or some sort of corruption.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd be curious to know from MacOSXHints users whether they are experiencing this problem in the first place and if the workaround works for you, too. I'd also like to understand why this works and why the problem even e ...</description>

<description>It's possible to save power when using Maps to navigate in a car. It's an obvious trick once you know about it, and easy too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When you're navigating with the Maps app, you're probably used to it chewing through battery life. Even on a full charge my iPhone 5 doesn't last more than 2-3 hours when navigating.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To eke out extra life, just press the Sleep button (top of the phone), once you're on your way and are on a long stretch before the next turn/navigation point (i.e. on a freeway for 50 miles). The screen will blank, but the navigation will continue. The phone will briefly wake 10 miles from your next turn/navigation point, to tell you about it, and will wake 2 miles from it and stay awake until you get past it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To switch back to non-power-saving mode, just swipe as usual to wake the phone. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be honest this doesn't save a huge amount of battery life in my tests, but it's better than nothing. For long journeys,you really need a USB power sour ...</description>

<title>iOS: Change how Calendar events look in Notifications</title>

<description>Long frustrated with how calendar events look within the Notification Center I've discovered a way to change it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As part of iOS 7.1 Apple improved on the ability to view calendar events by adding a &lt;i&gt;list view&lt;/i&gt; button in the Daily view. I have noticed that if you toggle this to list view within the Calendar app then your calendar events within Notification Center will also show as a list.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[&lt;b&gt;crarko adds:&lt;/b&gt; Is this actually new? I don't remember having looked for this in previous versions of iOS.]

<description>Unlike with the Mac, in iOS there is no way to select text and search for it on Google in a new tab. There is, however, a workaround that brings about the same result on iOS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Select text in Safari to bring up the context menu on iOS and then tap on &lt;em&gt;Define&lt;/em&gt;. This brings up the dictionary panel for the selected text. If you've selected a word that is not in the dictionary, or multiple words or usually even if the word is in the dictionary, on the bottom right there is &lt;em&gt;Search Web&lt;/em&gt;. Tapping that opens a new tab and searches for the selected text. This is equivalent to selecting text, copying, opening new tab, pasting the text in omnibar. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Things to note:&lt;ul&gt;	&lt;li&gt;Even though the hint mentions Google, this uses the default search engine set in the Safari preferences so your preference is respected. &lt;/li&gt;	&lt;li&gt;This is not specific to Safari. Any app that allows selection of text, and brings up the contextual menu will work with this by opening Safari.   ...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

<description>As satisfying as the swipe to close feature in mobile Safari is, it becomes a bit of a chore to close more than a few tabs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To close all tabs at once, tap the new tab icon (two overlapping squares), tap &lt;i&gt;Private&lt;/i&gt;, and then &lt;i&gt;Close All&lt;/i&gt;. Repeat the first two steps and tap '+' (or the screen) to get back to an empty Safari in your preferred browsing state.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I only have an iOS 7 device to test this in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[&lt;b&gt;crarko adds:&lt;/b&gt; I tested this, and it works as described. I also only have iOS 7.]

<title>N-Up Printing from iOS using Printopia</title>

<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/&quot;&gt;Printopia&lt;/a&gt; is a great tool for exposing non-Air Print printers on a local network so that you can print to them from any iOS device. But even better is that it can expose &lt;emany&lt;/em&gt; PDF Workflow to do your bidding. In my case, I wanted to do n-up printing (n pages per sheet).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To do this, open up Automator and create a Print Plugin. For the workflow, you only need to add a single &lt;i&gt;Run Shell Script&lt;/i&gt; action with the following line:&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;lp -d &amp;lt;printer&amp;gt; -o number-up=2 -o media=Letter &quot;&amp;amp;#36;*&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;The details of the command will vary depending on your needs. In my case, I wanted 2-up printing to go do my default printer, so I could exclude the &lt;tt&gt;-d&lt;/tt&gt; option.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To see a list of available print queues, type &lt;tt&gt;lpstat -a&lt;/tt&gt; in terminal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once you save your Print Plugin, go to the Printopia in System Preferences and add your new plugin as an available destination for printing. ...</description>

<description>As you probably know the brandnew iOS devices like the iPad Air enable you to download the iWork and iLife apps for free. What I didn’t know is that once you downloaded them to your new device, they will also be available for free on your older devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my case I bought an iPad Air and also got the apps for free on my older iPhone 5. It makes kinda sense, since the download is tied to your Apple ID, but I still didn’t think about that until I noticed them downloading on my iPhone. In my case Automatic Downlods were enabled. So if you have this unchecked you just need to download the apps manually. The will show the Cloud icon instead of a price.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No great hint, but maybe someone else didn’t think about that, too.&lt;br /&gt;

<title>Get iOS 7 to remember passwords even for sites that don't want it to</title>

<description>iOS 7 uses iCloud to store your passwords for websites you log into. But sometimes, by default, Safari won't prompt you to save passwords for certain sites—sites that explicitly request that web browsers not save such data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they're your passwords, and Apple clearly thinks you deserve a vote on whether your iOS device saves them. Head over to the Settings app, tap on Safari, and then tap on Passwords &amp;amp; Autofill. Enable the Always Allow setting, and Safari will now be willing to save every single password you enter, even on sites that attempt to disallow that option. &lt;br /&gt;

<description>When you turn your iOS 7 device to landscape (horizontal) mode in the Music app, you get a lovely grid of album cover art from the music in your library. You can tap on one to see that album in details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But you may not realize just how interactive that grid is. You can swipe across it to drag other album covers into view. But even better, you can pinch and zoom to change how many album covers fit onto the screen at a time.&lt;br /&gt;

<description>Siri can returna random number, letter, or word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reading Lex's hint about rolling the dice and flipping a coin, I decided to see whether Siri can generate random numbers.  It can have Wolfram do it.  You can speak &amp;quot;random number&amp;quot; (which it interprets as &amp;quot;random integer&amp;quot;), &amp;quot;random integer&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;random real&amp;quot;.  You can also specify ranges, such as &amp;quot;random number between ten and 100&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;random real between 20 and 30&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Random word&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;random letter&amp;quot; also work.&lt;br /&gt;

<description>Over at &lt;a href=&quot;http://finerthings.in/ios/siri-can-flip-coins-roll-dice/&quot;&gt;Finer Things&lt;/a&gt;, David Chartier points out that Siri can help you play games of chance. Unfortunately, however, the virtual assistant can't necessarily help you &lt;em&gt;win&lt;/em&gt; at said games. Still, you can use Siri when you need to flip a coin or roll a pair of dice.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Say &quot;Flip a coin,&quot; and Siri will either announce that it's heads or tails. Ask Siri to &quot;roll the dice,&quot; and you'll get a pair of numbers between one and six. You can't ask Siri to roll a single die. Or rather, you can, but you'll still get two numbers back.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hardcore role playing game enthusiasts will need a separate app or actual dice hardware to roll dice with more than six sides; Siri's apparently not into D&amp;D.

<description>iOS 6 introduced Do Not Disturb, but &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.lexfriedman.com/post/2856721101/disturb-ios-7-finally-great&quot;&gt;some of us&lt;/a&gt; were annoyed by its implementation: Though the feature silenced iOS notification sounds while your iPhone or iPad were sleeping, those noises still blasted out when the device was in use. If that's not what you want to have happen, iOS 7 has the solution.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Armed with this hint, Do Not Disturb will empower you to use your iOS device in a room with sleeping people, or in a meeting where you're supposed to be paying attention, without fear that a bleep or bloop will bother those around you. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Head over to the Settings app, and tap on Do Not Disturb. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and set Silence to Always, instead of Only While iPhone Is Locked. From now on, Do Not Disturb works regardless of whether your iPhone is awake and in use, whenever the mode is enabled.

<description>iOS 7's new design seemed to cause some spacing issues in Messages, especially on the iPhone. Where you formerly could see the full names of the people you texted, iOS 7 shows only a first name, or perhaps a first name and last initial. When you know as many Dans as I do—even as many Dan M.'s as I do—that just won't do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's a fix, though the setting isn't where you might expect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Settings app, tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars. and then scroll way down to the Contacts section. Under that header, tap on Short Name. For my purposes, I turned off both Short Name and Prefer Nicknames. Now, Messages shows the full names of the contacts I'm sending messages to, shortening the button labels at the top as necessary to make everything fit.&lt;br /&gt;

<description>In iOS 7, Siri can toggle a lot of settings: Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, and more. And the virtual assistant also gives quick access to more granular settings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tell Siri something like, &amp;quot;Change the brightness,&amp;quot; and the brightness slider will appear onscreen, ready for you to adjust. Of course, you could always simply drag up Control Center instead, but who doesn't like a virtual minion to do their brightness-adjusting bidding?&lt;br /&gt;

<description>One powerful new feature in the Settings app lets you see how much data your apps are using over your iPhone's cellular connection. You can even block specific apps from accessing data over your cellular connection if you prefer, limiting them to Wi-Fi-based data access only. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To find the options, launch Settings, and tap on Cellular.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scroll down past all the Personal Hotspot, Call Time, Cellular Data Usage, and other options, and you'll get to a Use Cellular Data For section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list is sorted alphabetically, unfortunately, and not by cellular data consumption. But you can see how much data each app has used over your iPhone's cellular connection, and use the green slider to disable certain apps from using cellular data at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can tap on System Services to see how much cellular data is used by system components that you can't prevent from using the cellular connection, like DNS services, Time &amp;amp; Location, Siri, mapping, networking, and such. &lt;br /&gt;

<description>In iOS 6, you could tap the Edit button in Messages to delete or forward one or more messages from a text/iMessage conversation. There's no Edit button in iOS 7's version of Messages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's the work around: Tap and hold on any speech bubble in your conversation. A popover menu appears. Tap on the More button, and now you're in editing mode. You can check as many messages as you'd like with the round checkboxes (checkcircles?) that appear, and then tap either the trash can icon at the bottom left, or the forward button  at the bottom right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's also a Delete All button at the upper left to wipe out the entire conversation history from this editing mode.&lt;br /&gt;

<description>The Messages app in iOS 7 doesn't introduce much in the way of new functionality from iOS 6—though it does sport a dramatically different look. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While iOS 7 shows timestamps in between conversation breaks, you might sometimes want to do know precisely what time a given message arrived. There's an easy way to find out:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply swipe across a conversation in Messages from right to left. As you drag, you'll reveal per-message timestamps. They slide away as you release your swiping finger.&lt;br /&gt;

<description>As a follow up to &lt;a href=&quot;http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20130904095303102&quot;&gt;a recent hint&lt;a&gt;, the panorama feature can also be used to take portrait pictures.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For example, when you want to take a tower or a river from a bridge, take your phone landscape in Panorama mode. Although the UI stays in portrait, you can take your picture by moving the device up or down, instead of sideways.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The nice thing is that the picture will still have the proper orientation.

<description>The Maps app in iOS 6 and later offers turn-by-turn directions using Siri's voice. But most iPhone and iPad device owners don't know how to adjust the volume of that voice. It's not where you'd expect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fire up the Settings up, and scroll down until you find Maps. There, you'll see controls for disabling the app's voice, or making its volume Low, Medium, or Loud. &lt;br /&gt;
