Yes, first time I've noticed this, but I can confirm. There is a good lag
of ten to fifteen seconds when you select the, purchased, link. It works, but
you have to wait for that lag.

Hi Paul.
You can check a box in iTunes. This box is under the Info Radiobutton, and
allows you to sync contacts from the Mac. You will get a prompt saying that
iCloud already does this, but you can override it, and click on the Apply
button.
Hope this is enough help.

just my error, which Dane quite rightly pointed out.

Hello everybody
I have a quick and, to some, obvious question. When one is using Siri, does one
hold down the Home button as one does when using the dial applet by voice?
Also, can anybody give me a few example commands to get started with it?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Lynne,
You hold down the home button until you here the tone and then you can let
go. Speak your commands and you will hear a second tone when you stop speaking.
Commands like,

Where am I?

Hi Lynne.
I use Siri quite a lot and can help.
Yes, you do hold the home button down as if you were using the standard voice
control.
As to commands you can say:
Text message to: contact, e.g text message to Lewis Crack.
Call: contact, e.g call Lewis Crack.
Email to: contact.

Hello, Lynn,
To use siri, hold down the home button until you hear the two beeps, and then
you can let go.
Speak normally, and when you are done, siri will detect it. You then will hear
short beeps until siri answers your question, or lets you know that it can't
find the answer, or whatever

Hello Lewis
I fixed the problem by creating a new Location and then re-ordering the
services so that when we switch locations, it does what we want it to do.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi there,
I do not personally own an iPhone 4s, but one of my family members does
so I have had the opportunity to use Siri on various occasions. You
could ask Siri: What time is it? Do I need a jacket today? How's my day
looking? Wake me up tomorrow at 6:30 AM.
Just talk to it normally. No
Hi Lynne,
One more test phrase, since this is for Gordon and may put a smile on his face:
have him hold down the home button and after the two beeps, try saying:

Lynne,
You first need to turn Siri on within the settings. Voice dialling is turned
on by default.
Once turned on, you then hold down the home button to wake Siri.
You can ask Siri questions such as:

Wake me up tomorrow at 7am
What is the weather going
Hi, I have found once you've held down the button and got the two beeps to let
you know it's activated, you don't have to keep your hand on the button. Also
please note that if you use siri with voice over off you want get things read
