    I’m so glad I found my own iOS and Mac tutor and guru. After just 3 days he has answered so many questions and opened doors for me. Thanks Gary.

    A great reminder, thanks Gary! One problem I have is when I say "Hey Siri!" to my Mac, my iPhone responds 🤣 - so I have to remember to use the keyboard shortcut!

    Siri has been patiently waiting for me for a very long time indeed. I've been on the fence but maybe it's time to reconsider a little.

    Siri says "Finder hasn't added support for that with Siri" when I ask her to "open file x" or "open folder a". How do fix that? I"m using the latest OSx Monterey.

      That's right. Siri can't do that anymore.

    I know someone who considers using a voice assistant “being lazy”
    Well, actually it’s two people
    And I’m wondering if Siri would be able to bring up photos taken on a specific date or at a specific place
    Oh, and I remember when I was young, I couldn’t pronounce “Recognition”, i would instead say “recognisation”

    Question... Does anyone know the Font used on the First Mac? the Famous '' Hello '' that was written across the first Mac unveiled by Steve Jobs?

    thank you for this info. now that i upgrade to Big Sur I plan to use Siri more often. i was unable to customize a keyboard shortcut. any chance you can assist or explain?

    • @macmost
      @macmost  Před 3 lety

      What issue were you having trying to customize the shortcut? Try to use one of the defaults if you can to avoid conflicts with other keyboard shortcuts.

      @@macmost System Preferences>Siri & hold/command space is my Spotlight shortcut. When I chose customize from dropdown menu, took me to new screen and says, "type keys now". Anything I typed did not appear in that window. So I went back to keyboard shortcut and chose one of the 3 options. So the customize feature was not working for me.

      Nothing you can do. Siri can't do that in Monterey.

      What are you asking Siri when that happens? Note that this video is from 2020 and things have changed as there have been two major updates to macOS since then.

      Why do you want to shut down at all? Don't shut down, just sleep. And Siri "Sleep" works. See czcams.com/video/FsrTpEuXEtc/video.html

    I’m sorry. Siri is flawed and I don’t want to invest time in a learning curve to get it right, personally. Not cool (for me).
