    I need more Siri! (Alexa styled voice control needed)

    Okay, misleading title. I despise Siri for many things. (This is mostly because of my mother and father believing that Siri can answer any question that could ever be posed.) My parents' constant dependance on Siri has soured my opinion. That said, I use Siri, and I really like HomeKit. My...

    Verizon 6s Plus Preorders Status Thread

    A long day of hitting refresh. I called Verizon and got a UPS tracking number. The label was created 9/24 (I called Verizon and tracked the number on 9/23?). Still just a label, not shipping information. I can tell it's Next Day Air Saver, so here's hoping it leaves toward me tonight.

    Shared iTunes Account, move to Family Sharing?

    I'm not sure where the best place to post this question is. For years, my wife, myself, and our children have shared a single iTunes account. This works well for us. My wife and I know the password, and our children do not. We each have our own iCloud account, and share the iTunes and App...

    Siri, Phone Favorites, Change, Setting, or Bug?

    Since Siri was released into the world, I've been able to add a contact with several phone numbers to my Favorites list in the Phone app. I could always say "Call My Wife", "Call My Mom" and it would dial the number in my Favorites unless I specified otherwise. "Call My Wife at Work". I've...

    Looking for a day travel bag.

    It's not that I can't. My backpack is an Incase "Premium" backpack. It is large, and has great compartmentalization for my gear during working hours. I'm looking for something much smaller to carry a few entertainment items with me. Thinking about the Small or X-Small version of this...

    Looking for a day travel bag.

    I'm trying to find a good messenger bag that is on the smaller, but thicker front. Honestly, I'd say a purse, but I'm a guy, and that would be weird. I'm trying to fit: iPad Mini w/Retina in a Speck folio Beats on-ear headphones Small battery (Jackery Bar) and a few cables. My backpack...

    iTunes Match uploading a previously matched song?

    Okay, I had an issue with 1 matched album not showing album art on my iPhone and Apple TV. (Correct art shows on iPad, weird?) I re-downloaded the album from the cloud, drug the files to a folder on my desktop, and deleted the album files and from iCloud. I re-added the album. Now, a file...

    Need an App for Traveling Employees

    My difficulty is more allowing easy reporting of work done (can be simply a note) and expenses back to our home office, in a timely fashion. If need be, our server supports shared calendars for finding who /where. Edit: I should add that it's not a need for GPS detail. We simply need to know...

    Need an App for Traveling Employees

    We are in need. We have several traveling salesmen, installers, servicemen, etc. We need something that can help us centrally view who is where. Allow them to report expenses, and possible job details. (What was repaired, serial numbers, etc.) Help! I can't find anything even close.

    What do you want to see in iOS 6?

    Sync iCloud now playing. Scenario. I'm in my car listening to music over bluetooth. When I stop the car the music stops. Now, I come into my office, fire up iTunes, and pick up where I left off. Same playlist. Same shuffle order, etc. Listening to music in my office, pause music, go to...

    Need some advice on which device...

    I recently gave up my iPhone 4S 32GB. It was a great device. I decided to switch to Android because I became bored with iOS. I've seen several articles about this lately, it's the same interface from 5 years ago. Very little has changed, as far as interface. I picked up the HTC One X...

    Element Case Vapor Pro give away!

    This is one of the best looking cases I have seen. I gotta have one! This way, when the kids ask, "Daddy, can I play a game on your phone?" I know that I can get it back in one piece.
