Anyone else still having issues with Siri?

I don't understand why Siri won't work as seamless for me as instructed or as reported by other users. I simply want to send text messages using Siri and it never seems to work. I usually say something like, "Tell_____, I am on my way. 98% of the time it thinks I am saying, call so & so. It rarely ever works the 1st time. The only way I can get it to work is if I say Send Message, than once Siri goes thru what she has to say, I have to answer to who, than confirm I want to send. This whole process takes like 45 seconds instead of taking 15. Everyone makes this seem so easy to use but I can't get it to work as advertised. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have any tips?

If I hear Siri say "sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network" one more time it's going on Craigslist, and I'm going back to Android. Siri seems to be best for the Apple Marketing Dept. In my business we go from Beta to Pilot, to GR. How does Apple give it to the masses and call it Beta. Are they so self confident that they can take the hit?
I often ask it to call xxxx, and it just times out. The other issue is that when it does work, if it works, the lag time from command to execution makes it not functional. If one of the goals is to make it safer for me while I travel, Apple has made it worse since I ultimately have to pick up the phone and dial manually. I did get a surprise answer the other day when I asked Siri a math question from my 11yr old's math homework.
1 out of 50 times it works. So far I have to give Apple a 10+ for Marketing, and a 1 for execution.
Don't even get me started on ICloud set up and support help.

Anyone else still having issues with Voice Control?

Mine was activated out of nowhere and of course there is no easy option to turn it off. Its in the international setting...what is that even for?? Its preventing me from organizing my apps, can anyone shed some light on this?
I've reset, double checked settings, and even restored. No change.

Anyone else still having issues getting showanytime to work on macbook?

I've downloaded wideVineMediaOptomizer several time and it's not working. I'm running new Macbook Pro with newest OSX. I tried the suggestion here, http://ansonalex.com/videos/showtime-anytime-not-working-on-mac-computer-fix-vid eo/ -but it didn't work.
If someone has gotten it to work, what did you do?

I don't believe it has been updated for 10.9 yet. Check at the Google Developers site.
Cheers

Greetings Blueleoapple,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with Safari. You may want to consider resetting your device, which is different from restarting. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

VZW Messaging app continues to crash even after update, and several re-installs. Anyone else still having this problem, and know any fixes?

My messaging app crashes 5+ times each day, or causes my phone to lag until I restart it. Is anyone else still having these problems, even after the update?

the vz messaging app is garbage.Thats probably why no tech support people have replied to your question yet. I had similar issues & decided to disable it. May i suggest you download 'textra' or even hangouts?

I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

HT2693 Having issues with siri thru my nolan ncom bluetooth kit 2.1

I am having issues with siri thru my nolan ncom bluetooth kit 2.1. It allow me to connect to siri, but siri never responds. I hear the 2 beeps, i say what I need siri to do , but the light around the microphone continues to spin and siri usually times out. Help!

I don't think there is anything exotic about the 3G's bluetooth system so that the BMW shouldn't see the contact list. It saw the contact list in my first generation phone, so I'm still puzzled why it doesn't see the contacts in the 3G. I have a query in with BMW to find out why it wouldn't see the list when the first generation phone worked fine. Perhaps there is some setting in the iDrive I'm missing. It's my wife's car so I don't see it often enough to spend the time to dig deeper.

Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
That's great.
However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
Here's a video that shows what's going on:
mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
Issue #1
Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
Issue #2
This is the second project you'll see in the video.
After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
Here are my specs:
Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
OSX 10.9.4
Firmware: 2.20f18
What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
I've reported this issue to adobe.

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Still having issues with my podcast feed in iTunes

I am still having issues with my podcast feed. The podcast is not updating in iTunes yet I can see some of the new episodes through an alternative RSS.
My podcast feed is
http://feeds.feedburner.com/SosChurchStockholm.
Not sure what I am doign wrong.
Thankful for any help in this regard.
Thanks

I'm afraid I can't give you an easy answer. The Store has not updated since the episode of 10th November, but the later episodes appear when subscribing and there doesn't appear to be any problem with the feed.
The Store does appear to go through sticky patches sometimes and take a long time to update some podcasts; it will probably catech up eventually and I'm afraid that there isn't really much you can do about it. You could try emailing Support ad podcasts 'at' apple.com, but I suspect you will get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know).

Anyone else still having "up to date" issues?

I am still having issues trying to redeem my free upgrade to lion on an iMac purchased 10th June. I still get "serial number not found" or "ineligible serial number"
I have called apple 3 times and they have basically said they dont know what the problem is and aren't doing anything about it.... they keep saying "were investigating" but methinks not! I know there were issues of this nature on launch day but even Apple admit they have been resolved.
I'm very dissapointed with their customer services' can't do attitude. It may be easier to just pay the £21 in the app store but it's the principle of the matter.
Does anyone still have issues like this? what should I do next?...... wait? call apple again? or just throw all my gear that bears an Apple logo on ebay and be done with it?

you don't need to import that way ...
the option that you chose was actually for "folders into a project" ...
you can't grab just the images from there (folders only), choose the import -> images -> option instead ...

Anyone else still having iOS 8.1 Bluetooth Connection issues.

Hi there just wanted to see if anyone is still having the Vehicle "Hands Free" Connection issues via Bluetooth on the iPhone 6? I drive a 2009 Acura TL and I am still having the connection issue. Oddly enough before the 8.1 update I was running 8.0.2 and it worked fine. Now when I get in my car and the phone connects it cripples the entire system. It won't allow me to change to the USB mode for my connected iPod and when I try to place a call via the "Hands Free" system it beeps as if it is activating and then does nothing.
I have tried everything that I can think of with no results. I was hoping there was someone out there with the same car or similar having the same problem that might have found a fix. Chime in and let me know.

I am having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity but not with a car. I use a Planatronics Legend. Everytime that a call comes in, my Legend announces the call then immediately disconnects from my iPhone. All of this started after upgrading to ios 8.1.
Apple should not advertise fixes to problems without truly confirming the repairs.

HT4628 Still having issues with Lion os X and wi-fi

I am still havign issues with Lion os X and wi-fi. I have 3 domputers in my house including the new macbook pro that has lion os x installed. The wifi drops out all the time (every 2 minutes). I have followed all the instructions on how to fix this but I am still having issues. The other two computers work fine, one of the is Lion os X that has been updated but I managed to play with the setting and fix this one. This computer worked fine on Snow leapard and then a soon as I installed Lion the wifi started having issues.
When will apple make an update that is going to fix this problem. You want to buy a new computer that works, I took it into apple and they told me that it is my router, but I know it is the software as there are 100's of blogs and threads about this exact issue occuring only when their computer was updated to Lion.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue other then un-installing Lion and buying Snow Leapard?

Does this problem happen with just your airport base station? Do you have a 3rd party wireless router? Can you duplicate the problem using any wifi access point? Did your computer come with 10.7 preinstalled? Did you purchase the applecare with your computer?

Siri is not responding on my newly purchase iPhone 4s. It had been working prior till tonight. Is anyone else experiencing a problem with Siri?

Siri is not responding on my newly purchased iPhone 4s. Up until this evening, it had been working. Is anyone else experiencing a problem using Siri now?

I have been having problems with her too. I had to have my phone reset at the genius bar, and now Siri is totally unresponsive most of the time and unable to answer basic questions at best. She won't even dial a number that's programmed into my contacts. Just sits there quietly, her brain spinning around and around. Or she'll tell me she doesn't know who that party is. Would I like her to do a web search? For my husband? Sure, Siri. I used to love her, but now with my restage, she's basically worthless.
Incidentally, the reset was two weeks ago. She's only been her old, helpful, sarcastic self like three times since then.
