After installing i0s 7 siri doesn't talk

Installed i0S7 on iphone 5.  When I hold down the home key and talk to Siri, (I put it on the male voice) it doesn't respond anymore.  It just opens and shows a list of "some things you can ask me." SO I've even tried to ask Siri some of the things I can ask, and it no longer responds.
Is there a setting somewhere to actually activate the VOICE for Siri? It worked fine before the new install.
Thanks

Well, I'm so hoping eventually this will be resolved.  I've gone through troubleshooting Siri here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079.
I'd like to list a few settings that I have and some things I checked to see if there isn't some little thing that is not quite right.  Kind of frustrating because Siri worked fine BEFORE I installed OS7.  And my son and son-in-law both have updated and their Siri works.  So none of us can figure out why mine doesn't.
Under settings > Privacy > Microphone > Applications that have requested access to the microphone will appear here.  I have none that have accessed the microphone.
I can make calls.  People hear me; I can hear them.  My music plays. 
Does Siri use a DIFFERENT speaker???
Under Privacy > Locations Services, Siri has a gray arrow: A gray location servicds icon will appear next to an item that has used your location within the last 24 hours.  Apparently Siri is using my location because there IS a gray arrow, but Siri still doesn't respond.
The line, wave sound, whatever that is called when you talk to Siri is "flat." When family talks to Siri, and when I used to talk to Siri, the line was wavy when I spoke.  My Siri has flatlined! It just shows me things I CAN ask Siri.  Even if I choose to ask those specific questions, Siri does not respond.
Under Settings > Privacy > location services are on, and under that is Contacts, calendars, reminders, photos, bluetooth sharing, microphone.  Says in "location services" settings, turn on BOTH "location servies," and "reminders."  Mine does not show "reminders." However, under Settings > Notification Services > I DO have "reminders" turned ON.
THen I found this: Verify that both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera are not blocked.  How do I verify this?? Nothing has changed since the OS7 install.  My camera works, front and back.
Other than that, I cannot think of anything else to do in order to get Siri working AGAIN.
I hope that with the added information I gave you, MAYBE, just MAYBE you may find something that is amiss.  I miss my Siri! Wah!
And if the mic was no good, then I couldn't speak into the phone and have someone else hear me, right? Or does Siri have her own mic???
Just to reiterate, in order to keep this in mind: Siri was working before the OS7 install.  I changed nothing.  Just installed the new OS update. 
Could there be some conflict with my iphone 5 and OS7??? It's not a new iphone 5s or whatever they are; it's just iphone 5.
Also, I RESTORED my phone too thinking that would spark something.  Didn't.
Thanks for ANY possible suggestions to continue the SEARCH for Siri on my iphone.

    I have tried resetting my Mac's PRAM but the problem still remains.
    Even USB memory sticks are unmounted efter a few seconds.
    Anybody else with this major problem?

    I have the same problem, although mine has not been solved by ESET update, finder settings, PRAM & SMC resets or anything else.
    Don't get it, my external hard drive still works on both my housemates computers - one macbook pro (with snow leopard) and one dell, just not on mine with mountain lion.
    Any ideas for me guys?

  • After installing Lion, macbook doesn't read cd

    My macbook doesn't read bland cds/cd with media on it. It doesn't show up in itunes or finder. Everything was fine when I had snow leopard. After installing Lion, my macbook has stopped reading cds.

    they dont show up on the desktop but if you go to burn a cd in itunes with the cd recongized there? there is a setting under finder prefrences that allows you to turn off hard drives and cds and such to not be visable on your desktop, but it would be if you opened up the finder or itunes, also the first time you put in a blank cd it will ask you what the default program you want to use it with is, and if you click dont ask again it wont, but it will still be avaibale....is it not working all together or ust not showing up on your desktop

  • After install acrobat DC doesn't launch

    I'm trying to install the free trial version of Acrobat DC on my up-to-date Win Vista OS PC. After download and install, when I get to the "Launch Acrobat" interface box and press either the "launch" or "close" button nothing happens, except the interface goes away. Nothing regarding Acrobat DC shows in the "Programs & Features" control panel interface. Only Reader, Flashplayer, & an old version of Photoshop Elements is on this machine. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hey leep58216131,
    I am sorry, but Adobe Acrobat DC is not a supported version on Windows Vista OS which is why you are facing this problem.
    You might need to upgrade to a newer OS that is fully compatible with this Acrobat version.
    To know more on system requirements, you can refer this Kb doc link mentioned here:
    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC
    Hope that helps.

    4. Remove the battery, unplug the computer from the power.
    5. Hold down: Fn+B or WinKey+B (On some new Acer Laptop's Fn+Esc and on some new Fujitsu Siemens Laptop's Fn+F)and while holding plug the computer in to power (do not plug the battery) and pres the power button.
    6. Now you should hear the flopy drive working, hold the keys for a while and then let go.
    7. Leve the computer for at least 10 min. and if the computer does not restart it self turn the power down.
    8. Plug the battery and the power sorce and if everything went OK the computer shold start normaly.

    Mavric doesn't support my 5 years old Big Screen Display, OR? Tried to connect my Mac Book Pro after installing Mavric, The Screen didn't work as before. I could only see the Desktop but not the movies for example.
    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • My iPod Touch 4g is stuck in Apple Mode after attempting to install the Siri GUI. What can I do to restore?

    I have an 8GB, 4g iPod Touch. It has the lastest iOS on it (iOS 5). Yesterday I used Cydia to jailbreak it. I had no idea what I was doing but I followed step-by-step instuctions and it worked! Needless to say, I've messed up several times (while rebooting) and I am now a Pro!! Lol. Anyway, today, I was installing the Siri GUI software onto the iPod. It was a long and drawn out process and I'm assuming that I did it wrong. It was stuck in the black screen with the little (loading) loop. It sat there for about 30 minutes. Sometimes the loop would spin, sometimes it would just be there. Finally, I pushed the Home and Power buttons at the same time and I got the Apple Logo. And this is where I am stuck now.
    I have tried a number of things, such as:
    * Holding down the power button and hoping that the "slide to power off" screen would come up. No response.
    * Holding down the Power AND Home buttons at the same time thinking the "connect to iTunes screen" would come up. The screen just goes black and then the Apple Logo comes back up.
    * I've tried connecting to iTunes but it doesn't recognize my device. My laptop doesn't even "ding" when I plug it in. I've tried changing the USB port that I have the cord plugged into. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I've restarted my computer. I've went through the Apple Support troubleshooter and dealt with the "third party conflicts".
    I'm not sure what else to do here. I realize that I probably should not be downloading, jailbreaking and attempting to 'mod' my iPod- I don't even know what DFU mode, GUI or most of the other hi-tech words mean. I am just pretty good at following directions, lol.
    Can someone please help??
    I'm using a Windows 7 OS on my laptop, not MAC.

    I suggest try getting it back to your stock iOS and forget about jailbreaking.

    You can also try using system restore to roll back to before the software update to see if that resolves the issue.
