Automated answering systems don't recognize my input

Just placed my first call call to a company with an automated phone system, using my new Incredible 2.   As usual, the answering system asked me to select among the menu items, and key in a number.  I keyed in the number as usual.  The automated system was unable to detect my input.  
I'm surprised the phone's default settings don't include this function.  What do I need to do?  Help!

Hello LynnBR!
I know how important it is to be able to successfully navigate through an automated answering system, especially when you're trying to get to a specific department or person!  I am happy to assist.
There's a quick step you can take to ensure the automated system recognizes your entries from your DROID Incredible 2.  From the main screen, touch Menu > Settings > Sound > Audible touch tones > and select "Long".
I trust I have answered your question, and have addressed your concern.

  • Error with the Apple automated answering system?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but:
    I have recently ordered my first Mac, a 2012 MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM (CTO). To see which process it is in, I have just called Apple and it's automated answering machine told me that I have ordered a 13" MacBook PRO. I know for sure that I have gave it the correct order number and zip code, for I have called twice, but it keeps telling me I have ordered a PRO when I have paid for an AIR. I have checked my order verification email and it says I have ordered an AIR, but the machine says my order consists of a PRO. Anybody else have this issue? And if you did, was the machine wrong or did you recieve the wrong item?
    Thanks!

    Ok, just to clariy, the system was incorrect in giving me the information. Due to the lack of replies, I am assuming that is a very rare issue that is encountered.

  • My imac wont recognize my input in the system preferences

    so, im on an older imac (the one with the big round base, a chrome arm holding up a flat screen) and im trying to hook my guitar into the line-in jack next to the headphone jack. i go to "system preferences" and click the "sound" tab, then click the "input" tab. it only gives me the option for the built-in mircophone, i dosent even recognize that i have a line in plugged in. the wire is in perfect condition, so there is no chance that the wire is faulty. i have tryed it with the 1/4 end of the cable plugged into my guitar, and with out, and ive tryed starting my computer with it already plugged in, and i tryed it while the computer was already running. ive recording many songs on my X-girlfrinds MacBook Pro with no isses...same guitar. same wire, and it worked great.
    how can i get the "system preferences to recognize that my guitar is plugged in?!?!?
    thank you!!!!
    PS this computer was a hand-me-down from my dad, i have no clue what version of garageband i have (not that i think that would matter in this situation) and i do not know what was the last operating system update that this computer recieved

    I believe that icloud requires OS 10.7, your post indicates that you have 10.6.8.

  • Camera images from Automation measurement system and from Labview are different

    Hello,
    I'm currently using a Basler camera to capture some images every time. So usually, from the Automation measurement system, I changed the camera attributes values (shutter, brightness, gain, white balance). Then, I go to the Labview VIs and input the exact same values which I got from Automation measurement system. Even though all the setting values are the same, the image I can see from the automation measurement system is completely different from what is captured from the Labview VI. I don't understand this. Could you give me any advice to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Could you upload a screen capture of the difference? It's hard to say without more info on what the camera is doing.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

  • HT4528 My iphone shows a different email addess that i don't recognize which is preventing me from downloading apps.  why did my email address change on my phone and how can i reset it?

    My iphone 4s is showing an email address that i don't recognize and am unable to download apps.  how do i change it back to my email?

    Your iCloud account is tied to your Apple ID account - if you go into System Preferences>iCloud>Account Details, you'll see the associated email address. If you need to change your iCloud prefs, change your Apple ID - http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

  • Activation fails using automated phone system

    I've used a MAK to activate several Windows Server2012 R2 machines using the automated phone system. On one machine, I enter the confirmation ID and get the "Thanks, you're all done" message, but when I check using slmgr, it still shows Unlicensed.
    I've tried using slmgr /atp <confirmation ID>, and get "Error: Product activation failed." I believe I am entering the correct confirmation ID, because if I change it I get an error message that the confirmation ID is invalid.
    Any ideas on where to look at why product activation is failing would be appreciated!

    Hi bmoranb,
    Would you please let us know current situation of this issue? Any update?
    I agree with Tim. MAKs by design have a limited number of activations. I suggest that you should contact the
    Microsoft Activation Call Center.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
    Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A

    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

  • Solaris 8 don't recognize a SCSI CDROM for installation

    My Intel system has a IDE hard disk and a SCSI Adaptec 1542CP. I'm trying to install Solaris 8 using a Matsushita SCSI CDROM ( scsi id=5 ). The hardware it's fine because I'm booting DOS 6.22 and Unixware 7.11 using the same system.
    Solaris diskette recognizes my SCSI controller but don't recognizes my CDROM. Please could you help me ?
    Sorry, English it's not my first language !!

    Can you see them from the OBP with a probe-scsi-all etc....
    Are they actually Sun qualified disks, have they got Sun firmware on them, what are the model numbers.
    Have a search on sunsolve for the ST number if it's a Seagate etc etc and try and find some firmware to burn to them from another system.
    Failing that connect to another system and run format and low level format time. The RAID cont might of burnt somekind of special headers to them, god knows....
    What kind of RAID cont was it? What type of system are you using, and what system were they in?

  • Alert sounds I don't recognize

    I'm getting alert sounds in the background I don't recognize. None of the apps in  my dock bounce up and down for attention. I can't associate it with any particular action. Usually it's a double click sound (like a tick tock or flipflop). The one that sounds like a camera shutter is creepy. They are not my Mail or  Calendar alerts.
    How do I trace the source?
    Thanks
    MacBook Pro
    OS 10.9.5

    Log out or restart the computer without launching any applications. If you still hear the sounds, then it's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

  • Using SCXI Chassis 1001, system will not recognize 1162, 1163 or 1102 modules.

    I'm using an SCXI system with a 1001 chassis, labview 6.0 and MIO-16E card.  However, the system will only recognize my 1102B and two of my four 1124 modules.  It will not recognize the other 1124 modules or the 1164, 1163 and 1102 modules, and I don't know why.

    Hey Justin, thank you for responding to my message.  As it turns out, the working modules can be detected in any of the 12 slots of the 1001 chassis.  However, the 1164, 1163, and 1102 modules will not work in any of the slots.  I've tried switching out components and using a different chassis, adapter, pc, and DAQ device, systematically changing out one component at a time, but I still get the same results.  I've also tried updating the driver to the latest version available.  The only conclusion that makes sense is that the 1102 modules are bad.  I'm going to try ordering a new 1102 and see if it will work.  If not, then I know it's not the cards and maybe I can return the new module.
    But what still bothers me is that I was able to get a new 1124 module to work by placing it next to a 1102B module that is connected to the DAQ device .  The new 1124 module will not work if it is directly connected to the DAQ device itself.  What's even stranger is that my older 1124 modules WILL work if directly connected to the DAQ device.  I was wondering if NI has modified the 1124 in such a way that thier new ones can only operate in conjunction with other modules.
    Thank you,
    Nick

  • Early 2011 Mac Book Pro (MBP) problem with sporadic AMD GPU automated switching system

    I have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro (MBP) - specs are listed below. I have read online about other 2011s having an automatic shutdown problem & sporadic failure re the graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M GPU automated switching system (among other problems with this "innovation" by Apple). I am having this problem: Shuts down by itself. Restarts - in the middle of the restart shuts down again. Fans are operating just fine. The problem has occurred if a video is playing, if I try to edit a video. It has occurred while using Skype (if the other party puts on their video camera), Firefox & Safari & Google Chrome. It has occurred even if I was working in Word if I was connected to the internet. I am working in a developing country and I have done a PRAM SMC Disk Utility Repair disk had a diagnostic run which showed no problems, etc.There is no temporary fix. Apple now hear this: This is going to morph into a logic board problem and you still haven't done anything about it??? This is an APPLE defect and I am very disappointed in Apple not acknowledging this defect and fixing the problem or issuing notification of a recall. I am outside of Apple Care and I have never had a mac give trouble until the 5 year mark. A 2GB RAM white iMac I gave my Mom is still operating perfectly! I am in the middle of a  climate change mitigation project and a I cannot finish my work due to this problem and I cannot afford to pay for another MBP $2400 doorstop. What is going on here? Steve dies so there is no one to put the fear of God in anyone at Apple anymore and now no one cares  about customer service? Where is the product recall? I have been a loyal Apple customer since 1983. Yes, 1983. DO SOMETHING NOW APPLE & NOTIFY US OF IT - We all registered our computers on YOUR website so you know who we are. Has anyone filed a class action yet?

    I had a 13" mid-2012 that had three logic boards fail in less than a year of purchase. My symptoms were it would freeze while using it or after it was put to sleep. When it froze while being used, it would flash pixels in groups in different colors and would become unresponsive to everything but forcing it to shut down. If it froze while sleeping, it wouldn't wake up and it would get extremely hot to the touch. Apple covered the repairs every time but they sent me receipts and each time, it was a $480 logic board plus labor so it would cost about $530 overall. It sounds to me it's your hard drive because I also experienced two hard drive failures. First time was from an accidental drop. I would get a loading bar on startup and once it finished, it would shut down. I couldn't boot into recovery mode at or do anything. But before that would happen, I would get an error in disk utility after performing a disk repair saying it couldn't repair the disk and to back up as much data as I could. Luckily I have the Time Capsule so my data was always safe.
