Can't open app using Siri whilst driving

I've got a BMW that uses Siri Eyes Free.
I can read and send texts OK but if I try to open an app I get told that Siri can't do that whilst I'm driving.
I'm not trying to do anything that would distract me from driving - I just want to listen to an audio book and so I'm trying to open Audible.
Is this a "feature" of ios?

Siri opens apps just fine.
I hit the button, tell Siri open audible.
Audible app opens.
Tell Siri play that Mitchell and Webb sound, which is in the music app under audiobooks, it opens and starts playing.
I believe the problem is with the car system.

  • I want to switch between 2 open apps using only 1 step, i.e. touch once, tap once, push once, swipe once, etc. Can I do this with a 4s running 6.1.3?

    No.  2 steps if the app is already open, double tap the home button and then tap on the app.

    Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post.  I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

  • Can not open app store in iPad 3

    why I can not open app store in iPad 3

    IF you get app update notifications, are you able to use the App Store from the Updates Tab? Try closing the App Store and reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I can't open App Store in my OSX Lion

    Hi there, hope anyone can help
    I can't open App Store in my OSX Lion. The icon somehow changed to some kind of plain paper.
    Every time I open it, it comes to the dock, bouncing, but then gone and App Store is not open.
    There is no notification window or something like that. I did not change anything, it just changes itself somehow.
    Anyone have similar experience?
    Hope someone can help me.
    Thank you so much

    You need to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to restore OS X.
    That will reinstall the App Store for you.

  • Can not open app store on macbook pro/imac after installing Mavericks

    I have just installed Mavericks on both a Macbook Pro and an iMac. I use the same Appleid on both.
    But now I can not open App Store
    I have tried clicking on the App Store symbol in the dock, starting it from the program folder in a Finder window, and starting it from the Apple menu. The result is the same: Nothing happens except that the menubar that was active before the attempt becomes inactive (dark). There is no App Store Window, and no App Store menubar.
    I have one idea why this happens. I removed the "OS X Mavericks" from the list of downloads/purchases in App Store by misstake before I installed Mavericks. If that is the problem how can I solve it?

    Ok, now it works again. I got a Notice that I could update some applications and I answered that I wanted to do that. Then, when I tried to start App Store the menubar showed up but no window. I choosed "Windows - Minimize", exited App Stored and started it again. And now it works - on both computers!

  • Free cd/dvd burner for mac os 10.7 - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said  can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?

    - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said  can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?
    is there a free app download to burn cd/dvd for os10.7?

    Depending on what type of CD/DVD you intend to burn, you may not need any 3rd party applications:
    - To burn data CDs or DVDs simply insert a blank disc, drag files to the empty FInder window that represents the disc, then click the burn button (I think t appears near the top of the finder window).
    - To burn music CDs just use iTunes
    - To create disk images from a CD or DVD use Disk Utility.  To burn .iso or .cdr images to disc use Disk Utility.
    About the only type of disc burning that you may need a 3rd party application for is to create a DVD movie (iDVD used to do this but no longer a supported app).  I haven't ever needed anything outside of the built-in capabilities of OS X when it comes to burnig CD or DVD media.  One suggestion is to make sure to remove all of the Roxio software so that it doesn't interfere with the built-in OS X capabilities.
    Hope this heps.

  • Can't open App Store from Iran

    Please help me. I can't open App Store in my country .

    You are not allowed to use the UK iTunes Store from outside of the UK. Apple may block attempts to connect from other countries. From the iTunes Store Terms of Use:
    "The Service is available to you only in the United Kingdom. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from outside this location. iTunes may use technologies to verify your compliance. "
    Again, sorry, but as long as you are in Iran, there is no iTunes Store that you can use.

  • I can't open apps that friends have downloaded when I connect my iphone to my laptop

    I can't open apps that friends have downloaded when I connect my iphone to my laptop? It just goes to a black screen then quits and goes to a home screen. Does anybody know what is going on????

    A bit confused.  Are you saying your friends are using your itunes on your laptop to buy apps and that you are then syncing them to your iphone?
    "..friends have downloaded.." - downloaded from where (or perhaps they downloaded directly from itunes store to your iphone?).  Are we talking about a jailbroken iphone?

  • Help!! Can only open apps when in safe mode.

    Help guys, my iPad can only open apps in safe mode. iOS 5.1.1 jailbroken,

    Your post indicates you have used Cydia, which is a software application for iOS that enables a user to find and install software packages on jailbroken iOS Apple devices. Since your iPad has been jailbroken, we can't help you in this forum. Best bet is to Google for answers.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues

    If you jailbreak your iPad:
    1. Your Apple warranty, if any is remaining, is canceled.
    2. We can't help you in these forums.
    3. Apple Support and the Genius Bar won't help you.
    4. You can get a virus and malware.
    5. You may "brick your iPad and have an $$$ paperweight.
    What is Jailbreaking iOS? Should I do it?

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • Can I open and use a downloaded Excel Spreadsheet?

    Can I open and use a downloaded Excel Spreadsheet?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    LibreOffice will not run Excel macros (read below) without some work, it's not a good solution, I also do not think that the free online version of MS Office (comes with OneDrive) has VBA, so no macros there either.
    Bottom line is if you want to run macros from Excel, you'll need Excel. Preferably the Windows version (the Mac version may be better than Pages, but it's a toy in comparison to the real Excel)
    Macros in Microsoft Office and LibreOffice
    With a few exceptions, Microsoft Office and LibreOffice cannot run the same macro code. Microsoft Office uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, and LibreOffice uses Basic code based on the LibreOffice API (Application Program Interface) environment. Although the programming language is the same, the objects and methods are different.
    The most recent versions of LibreOffice can run some Excel Visual Basic scripts if you enable this feature at LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - Load/Save - VBA Properties.
    If you use macros in one of the applications and want to use the same functionality in the other application, you must edit the macros. LibreOffice can load the macros that are contained within Microsoft Office files and you can then view and edit the macro code in the LibreOffice Basic IDE editor.
    You can choose to preserve or delete VBA macros
    Open a Microsoft Office document that contains VBA macro code. Change only the normal contents (text, cells, graphics), and do not edit the macros. Save the document as a Microsoft Office file type. Open the file in Microsoft Office, and the VBA macros will run as before.
    You may delete the VBA macros from the Microsoft Office file on loading or on saving.
    Choose Tools - Options - Load/Save - VBA Properties to set the VBA macro handling of LibreOffice.
