Siri can't connect to net work

Siri keeps saying can't connect to network  or says having trouble connecting to network

It's not the network.  Siri doesn't seem to cache any requests (yet) so that means every single request for translation goes to the Siri servers.  I think the greater idea is that, if you build up a large enough question database in the front end, you can make life easier during the back end - or, actual Siri launch. 
Plus once everyone stops telling Siri "I love you" the servers will relax a bit.  Try telling Siri you're not going to plug it in unless it starts talking...then see what happens. 
Remember, Siri is still in beta and this is to be expected for a BETA release.  When it does work, it works well!  Launch day: +2

  • Siri can't connect to network - broke since yesterday

    I picked up my iPhone 4S launch day and since then, with the exception of a few hours on Oct 17, Siri has worked great.  That is until yesterday when Siri started complaining that it can't connect to the network.  It's been doing so since then, even in the middle of the night when there should be less load on the server.  I've tried Wifi and 3G, neither works.
    I've tried turning the phone off and on, do a reset of the phone (hold home and power) and turning Siri off and on, but nothing works.   Siri is basically broken.  I've read that others have gotten Siri working, but I can't. It's going on 24 hours of The Siri network being down.
    How can I get Siri working?

    My wife's 4S (iOS 5.0) experienced the Siri outage several days after receipt of the new phone and restoring from a backup image of her 3G iPhone. Siri was working fine for several days (well beyond the system-wide outage in October) before it mysteriously stopped working. For days she kept getting the pitiful "I'm sorry, I can't connect to the network at this time" response whenever Siri was tasked with anything at all. This occured on both 3G and WiFi connections. 
    I had another 4S of my own and Siri seemed to be working just fine during the same time period, from the same networks.
    We tried the - turn off Siri, reset Network configuration, turn on Siri - operations as suggested previously on numerous occasions and received no positive results.
    In this case service was not restored until a "Erase All Content and Settings" reset action was taken, followed by a restore from recent iTunes backup was completed. Everything seem to be working as expected now.
    In hindsight I didn't appreciate being told by Apple Support that Siri was "Beta" code. I didn't pay a $100 premium on the latest hardware where Siri was actively marketed as a differentiating feature of the new phone, only to hear that it was Beta code. This sort of excuse is something that is far below the quality of support that I've come to expect from Apple, and I hope for their sake that this trend does not continue.

  • I can not connect to my work e-mail using both regular e-mail set-up and mail 2003 (work has Outlook 2003).  I get the error message "no internet connection- as soon as a connection is made it will switch back".  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Why can't I connect to my work e-mail (Outlook 2003) using either the regular e-mail account set-up or Mail 2003? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
    Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:

    in which the following ports were suggested

  • Reset router, can't connect to net - need help

    Here's my situation, I spent an hour digging through previous posts trying to solve my issue with no luck.
    Had Cavtel DSL running to a Linksys wrt54g ver.2 router which was working fine.  My brother needed access to the network but we forgot the password which was set about 2 years before. 
    I hit the reset button on the back of the linksys router and promptly lost access to the internet from my computer.
    I contacted linksys help over the phone and after dealing with someone in India he told me that they would charge me to walk me through it.  I disconnected and tried cavtel... They told me to plug the cavtel modem directly to the pc.  I still couldn't access the internet at this point.
    She then had me modify my tcp/ip settings and gave me nifty numbers that allowed me to get back online.  I asked her about the router and she said, oh just plug the modem into it and it will self detect everything and emphasized that I should call linksys and they'll be GLAD to help me out...
    Needless to say, I plugged the internet into the router and once again can't get online.  I then tried to backtrack and plug the pc back directly to the modem and can't connect to the internet once more.  Contacted cavtel and their response was the classic, well we got you working directly we can't help you with router issues.
    I don't have the install cd anymore, and I haven't a clue what to do to fix this.  Top this off, there are no other wireless networks around my house so I can't access this forum from home or any online 'easy help' tools or programs.
    Anyone have any suggestions???  And yes I know the basics of accessing the modem, the 192.168.1.1 etc etc admin password. 
    Thanks for help in advance.

    Configuration for DSL connection:-
    Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
    router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.
    1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
    2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
    another 30 Seconds.
    3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
    for 30 Seconds.
    4. Release the reset button.
    ===================================================================
    Access the setup page of the router by launching an
    Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
    it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
    empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
    click on ok.
    On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP ?. Click on the Save Settings
    button.
    Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
    - Click on enable
    Click Clone & click save settings
    Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
    If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
    If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then agian check the WAN Ip address .....

    No, that is impossible on any normal phone from any of the major manufacturers.
    The only information that your phone is capable of getting from satellites is GPS data for positioning and navigation.

  • I Have 15 inch G4 that can not acquire wireless net work, I can see other wireless but failes to connect

    The air port is on and it is asking to join the network that is available, I type in the passcode and every time it comes back connection failed.
    I havr trird the same set  up on manyn other of my apple devices, ( Ipad, Iphone 4 & 4S, Mac book pro 15" & 13" they all work fine with the same passcode)
    I cant figure out why this power book is failing to connect to the wifi and or ethernet connection. I also tried to connect to a hard wire conection LAN and it still stated that it was not connected to the ethertnet.
    please help

    Since it doesn't connect via wifi or ethernet, something is not setup correctly. Don't know if Safari in OS 10.5 works the same as Safari in OS 10.4, but open Safari. When Safari doesn't connect to the internet, you should get a message that will walk you thru the setup. Do this first when connected via ethernet.

  • Can't connect to my work exchange server 2003

    I am one of the only people in my office with a Mac and my IT dept. refuses to assist me. Therefore, I am forced to try to resolve issues myself (which is not working out).
    I have successfully sent mail through the company's outgoing mail server, but I cannot connect to the incoming mail server to receive my messages.
    On a side note: I have entourage 2004 running successfully with no problems other than the program is crippled compared to outlook on windows. I want to run Apple's Mail program but can't get working, and I'm sick of running Outlook through Parallels.
    To configure Outlook and Entourage all I need to put in is the exchange server path (and login info) and it configures the rest. So how do I know what the outgoing and incoming paths are for Apple Mail? Are they the same? I right now I have both the incoming and the outgoing set up with the same exchange server paths hwmxmsg05.hotels.ad.**.com.
    Any Ideas? Another post mentioned make sure certain things are configured on the server side? What would they be as I need to relay them to someone who knows.
    Thanks!!!
    24" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    I feel your pain. I also am a lone Mac user in an entire building full of PC robots, and the IT people haven't got a clue.
    I've been trying to get Mac mail working with the Exchange server here, but it's just not happening. I've managed to get Entourage working though, which is far from ideal but significantly better than the web-based version of Outlook that I'd been having to use up till now.
    For entourage, then yes - the incoming and outgoing servers are the same. You may need to ask your recalcitrant IT people which port numbers to use, but give it a whirl anyway.
    Best of luck,

  • L7680 Can't connect via Network works fine direct connected via USB Please Help!

    Greetings All,
    I have an HP L7680 that has been having this same problem since I purchased it and the only cure that has ever worked is to completley reload Windows XP and start over which I am very tired of reloading XP to resolve a printer problem.
    This has been posted by several other people but I don't see where anyone has posted a fix.
    When I first install the printer everything usualy works fine and it runs fine for a few mionths. Then the first indicatrion of a problem is the scanner quits working. Then when I try to reinstall the software the printer does not show up.  I read and tried every solution and have spent nuerous hours with HP support to no avail.
    The printer works fine direct connected via a USB cable and it works fine with two other computers on the same network. One of the other computers has the exact same OS and is the same HP model laptop.
    I don't think the uninstall is completley removing all the files or reinstalling everything fresh when I reload. I have tried the Level 1 through 4 uninstall utility posted on HP's site and have tried all sugestions posted in this forum.
    Below is a better rundown of the problem.
    When the Scan function is called, a "Scanning" window appears, and hangs
    I have an HP Laptop with XP32 Bit software
    Once the scanning window appears it stays there forever
    Only way to clear scanning page is to terminate hpoews01.exe with Task Manager
    Scanner does not show up in Paint or Photoshop ect.
    Web Scan Does work and printer shows up using IP address.
    Scanner shows up fine on a web page
    HP support in India has been no help and now my printer is out of warranty so even less help
    Thank you,
    Dave

    I had a similar problem with my OfficeJet L7680 and here's how I fixed it.  
    18APR10 - from Dan
         I lost my L7680 network link (using CAT5 from printer to router) and could not print to it over the network.  However, I could print from a PC with a USB cable directly to the printer, but there are currently three PCs connected wireless to the network.  I think I have a viable solution for anyone with the same problem and is not related to the operating system of the PCs.
         Originally, I went to the HP site and downloaded the program for the L7680, Critical Update to Enhance Reliability of Network and USB Connectivity and Improve System Responsive....  This worked wonders until my modem and/or router went down.  I could see ink levels from my PC, scan, print, and so on.  Then I somehow lost my network connection again.  When I checked the network settings on the L7680 printer panel (Setup, 5 - Network, 1 - View Network Settings, 2 - Display Wired Settings), I noticed a different IP address than the original 192.168.1.100.  Once I figured out how to reset the printer to that one, it connected and worked as it should. 
        Here's how to reset it:  1.  Power down all devices (wired and wireless) to the router (I even disconnected the printer power cord and CAT5 cable at the printer); 2. Power down the modem and router - wait a minute or so before powering back up;  3.  Power up the modem and give it a minute or so to go through system checks, which will normally acquire a new IP address from your ISP;  4. Power up the router and let it go through its system checks; 5.  Connect the CAT5 cable from the printer to the router and power it up before you power up and connect any other computers.  This should assign the printer the first IP address from the router, which should be 192.168.1.100.  Once the printer goes through its start-up checks, you can check its assigned IP address from its panel.  6.  Power up any other PCs or devices to the router.  They should be assigned successive IP address numbers from the router.  You can check these using a browser in the PC after typing in 192.168.1.1, logging in to the router, and checking the appropriate place in the router driver/software displayed in the browser.  I was not able to reassign IP addresses in my router's driver/software to individual devices, but this method did the trick.  I did not try to change the IP address of the printer from its panel to match what had been inadvertently reassigned to it.  That might be another option to synchronize the printer and router with the same IP address.  If the printer loses its connection again, you'll have to synchronize what the printer has with what the router shows.  This worked for me.

  • Can I connect on my work PC to download a podcast only?

    My iPod shares my personal music library on my home PC. I have iTunes on my work PC but I don't want to have all my music files stored there. There is, however, a podcast that I would like to download on my work PC so I can listen to it on my commute home from work. Is there someway to plug my iPod into my work PC so I can transfer the podcast onto it?

    Do you have an iPod touch with version 2.2 installed? If you do, you can download podcasts directly from the iPod itself. To do this, go to Music>More>Podcasts>the podcast that you want to download>Get More Episodes. If you don't have iPod version 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 then you're out of luck. You can, however, upgrade your iPod touch's software to 2.2 for $10 if you have version 1.x.

    I am having the same problem. Everything was fine from the time I got my phone several months ago till last week when all of a sudden my iphone will not connect to my ATT Uverse wifi service at home. The laptop is fine and the other iphones in the house connect with no problem. ATT said the problem is not on their end because the laptop and other phones are connecting to the wifi and this makes sense to me. They are sending me a new gateway anyway to see if that helps. I appreciate that effort. At the Apple store the genius bar rep told me that since my phone is connecting to the wifi elsewhere, other than at home, (though I need to check this out), the problem can't be with the phone. I'm reading online that lots of iphone users are having this same issue at the moment with not connecting to the home wifi. The rep said iphone users are always having issues and most problems are user related rather than equipment related. When I said I'd been having some equipment problems of late (hard drive and logic board replaced in an 18 month old laptop) he told me how many hard drives he's had replaced as well as other repairs. I must say, I didn't really feel heard. All the settings were reset, however, and I was hopeful with a few tips he gave me that the situation would be better at home but it is not. It's very frustrating. In certain parts of the house the phone can connect to the 3G network and in other spots it cannot. I can't get any service (or extremely slow 3G service) from the places in the house where I normally use the phone with no problem. My empathy for what you're experiencing....

  • Does Firefox have some kind of firewall??? Recently I can't print or connect to my work computer remotely. Two things I was always to do in the past.

    Recently I can't connect to my work computer remotely and I can't print things even when I am using my desktop which is directly connected to the printer. If I go to Internet Explorer or AOL I have no problems but since I mainly use Firefox this has become a major problem.

    I encounter similar problem. My TC detects my OKI printer which is connected to the TC via USB but I can't print unless I connect my printer to the TC via Ethernet. Would anyone know how to solve it. Thanks.

  • Can't connect or see me home network, can see/connect to others.

    I have a fun one. I can't see or connect to my home network on 3 seperate iphone 3g's.(not 3gS.) I have a laptop, desktop and xbox that connect fine. It was working 4 days ago on this same router with the same settings. my SSID is being broadcast. I have the same security settings I had before, nothing has changed. WEP, channel 11, 802.1 g and b enabled. I can see my nieghbors wireless networks, but not mine at all. I can even connect to one of my neighbors unsecured network if the wind blows right and I get enough bars. I have reset the network settings on one iphone, restarted it, hard reset, complete restore, tried to "find other" networks. Nothing. (My network is on channel 11 because ALL of my neighbors are currently on channel 6 and it causes all my computers to drop due to interference. Worked fine for days on channel 11.)
    It's a brand new belkin router. And it was working fine for over a week. And the laptop, desktop, and xbox are still working fine. but none of the iphones in my house (3) can even see the net work on the screen. (And yes, the SSID is being broadcast.)
    Has anyone ever seen this issue?

    ok. I have a Belkin Wireless N Router. For some reason the settings appear to have become corrupted. I still have no clue why it was able to work with the computers and xbox, but not the iphones. I now have it working.
    The solution:
    Reset your router back to factory. Then rebuild your network settings, do not "restore" from a file. (Don't know why but it didn't work.) I made sure to connect to the network with the phone after each change and saved the settings on the router each time.
    Part of the problem may be with alternate channel settings, after I changed to channel 11 again, (to avoid the competition issue with my neighbors on channel 6) the iphone did lose view of the wireless until I rebooted the router. Make sure your router is connected with a hardline while you make the changes.
    All is working now, 3 iphones, 2 computers and an xbox in a pair tree!

  • Skype can't connect - most likely router problem, ...

    Lately I can't connect to Skype at home. I've tried a lot of different solutions but none of them work.
    The problem started a few months ago when I just couldn't sign into Skype (can't connect). At that time I had no change in any network settings on my computer nor my router. Interestingly enough, I could connect to Skype on Ubuntu (I have dualboot). Though even Ubuntu eventually failed to connect back then (just can't sign in) - still no changes in my network. I couldn't be bothered at the time with the problem so I just didn't use Skype.
    However after some time (some weeks or a month or two), when I tried to connect to Skype again, it worked (on Win 7 as well as Ubuntu). Again, no changes to my network have been done in the mean time (Skype might of been updated, but I doubt it was on both platforms at the same time).
    So Skype worked for a while until about a month ago, when the problem reoccurred. This time I said I'm going to get to the bottom of this so here is the situation:
    I can connect to Skype at work no problem (on my desktop as well as my Android phone)
    I can't connect to Skype at home (just won't sign in) on my desktop nor my phone
    I have tried:
    Reinstalling Skype with cleaning everything that Skype might have left behind
    Installing an (a bit) older version 6.9 (because even the latest 6.11 didn't work). Though these two attempts I've come to see are in vain once I figured out that I can't connect to Skype on my phone as well.
    Resetted my router a couple of times.
    Reset my router settings to default.
    Opened/forwarded Skype ports to my (local) IP. I even enabled DMZ to redirected all traffic to my desktop computer (although I'm not 100% sure that that worked as I imagine it should work).
    Tried some proxy settings in Skype (Connection options) I found on your forum.
    None of the above worked in any way...
    My router is a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND with (I think the latest) firmware version 3.13.13 Build 130428 Rel.58290n (hardware is v1).
    TLDR:
    I can't sign in to Skype at home. It works when I'm at work. I can connect to Skype on my phone if I'm at work (over WiFi) or if I'm on 3G, but not if I'm on my home WiFi. That said, no software firewall can be the problem here, but my router. However I have no more ideas as to what else I can try. This forum is my last hope for finding a solution.
    Please help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I do not know the makeup of Skype's internal security policies when it comes to this as they are not too open about this. Most companies are not. These are the only reasons I believe a block would occur based off any company's security policy.
    1. A proactive measure - A blacklist of IPs is constantly obtained/updated to include anonymizer services that might harm the network.
    2. An active/counteractive measure -
    I. Someone uses an anonymizer to SPAM people on the Skype network:
    a. Users complain using the abuse option. Users get the IP Auto-banned.
    b. The company (Skype) receives the complaints or notices a trend and Manual/Auto bans the IP.
    II. Too many people (connections) sign on with the same IP (due to an exit relay/proxy). Due to this being very suspicious, (maybe even DDos-like behavior) the IP is Auto-banned.
    I tend to lean more towards the counteractive measure since I don't believe many proactive measures are needed to limit abuse. There is always at least one rotten apple that engages in illegal activity using anonymizers, proxies, etc. that ruin it for everybody. In reality I believe it is a combination/balance of the two. Not to be prejudice against anonymizers, just blacklists to protect the network from known attacks. For whatever reason once the threshold is met, the IP is banned.  If I had to guess how long it would be in intervals of 30 days (30, 60, 90, 120, etc.). The whole Internet is not going to banned so the security policies in effect can't be too strict. It's goal is probably just to limit the majority of bad behavior that causes problems for their customers.
    Skype is not the only service that reacts this way. Even ISPs will receive notices and in turn will send notices to their customer that since illegal activity (RIAA notices, etc.) is occurring due to a Tor exit relay or some other anonymizer, the ISP will terminate services with that customer if they don't cease (due to breach of contract).
    I don't know whether you can limit an exit relay so it can't be used to access Skype. It may be a lost cause. If I made the choice to run a similar service it would be with a whitelist of people I knew who wouldn't use it to perform illegal activity, just remain anonymous when online.
    You shouldn't have any issues running a non exit relay since in doing so your IP is not being broadcast all over the Internet like a calling card which an exit relay does. Changing your modem's MAC address is something you need to call your ISP for. However changing your router's MAC address generally does not require that. All that is required is a reboot of the modem, router, and possibly computer if you run into issues. You will probably continue to run into the same problem as long as you attempt to run an exit relay.
    Be aware that for every IP that get's banned on your ISP is another IP a person could get issued for 24 hours to a week + after it gets released. Some people then visit this community and complain how they can't connect when it worked not too long ago and how Skype "sucks". So sometimes things like this create a ripple effect for other customers.

    Does anyone have more suggestions?

    Couple of suggestions.
    First, many companies have a gateway on their networks that block non approved devices.  I work in such a place.  You might check with an IT guy , and see if they have a block in place.
    Second, the message you are getting means that you have not negotiated the security settings.  So either the password is wrong ( case sensitive), or, in some cases, they want a network key as opposed to your normal password.
    Again, if you can find one, talk to an IT guy and see if he has some suggestions.
