Desperate for Siri

I have updated my ipad 2 to ios 6. Siri is not working and the option to enable it is not in the restrictions section or anywhere in settings. What do i do?

Siri is not available for the iPad 2.
Siri is available only on the iPhone 4s, newest iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone.

  • IPhone 6 External Mic not working for Siri/Dictation

    I am finding that the external mic on my iPhone 6 works for phone calls and voice memos, but does not work for Siri/Dictation.  When I plug in the earbuds, they work for everything (including Siri/Dictation).
    Was chatting to Apple support who had me reset all settings.  I thought that worked, but realized that after a reset, Siri is off and I was talking to "Voice control" (which works).  When I turned Siri back on, it does not work.
    I have two questions for the community to see if you can help:
    1- I have been assuming this must be a software problem since the mic does work for non-Siri access.  But is that true?  Is there a hardware component that Siri depends on which could be faulty here?
    2- If it is software, what action should I try to address it?  I have done a reset all settings already and that did not help.

    Hi, everyone.  I talked to Apple Genius at Apple Store last week, she said it should be a software issue and I needed to reset my iphone 6 plus as a new device and I can not use the backup restore from my iCloud, it was because the microphone bug or glitch can be in the backup also. Ok, followed her advice, erased all contents and set my iphone as a new device , the microphone worked for an hour, but went bad again.  I used "voice memo" app from Apple to test the microphone. It is the best tool since it doesn't involve any provider's network and it doesn't need another person's phone to listen and test.  If you can hear your voice recording clearly, then the mic works.  I tested it 3-4 times a day for a few days now, half of the time the mic doesn't work.  So, set as a new device isn't working. The issue is intermittent and it comes and goes as it likes, so very annoying. I carry my Apple EarPods with me in these past few days ust in case I need to make important phone calls.  Will need to go back to Apple Genius this weekend for sure.  Will give update after the weekend.

  • Is there a way to make the bluetooth source I pick for Siri persistent?

    I have my iPhone paired with the factory Bluetooth hands-free audio in a car. I like using it for phone calls, but not for Siri.
    When I start Siri, I can choose my audio source, but the iPhone forgets the selection after that session, and defaults back to trying to use the car's speaker and mic the next time I use Siri.
    Is there a way to make this audio source selection persistent?
    Thanks,
    Heath

  • Is there a way to "name" my apps for siri? iOS6

    With the new iOS 6 upgrade, I was able to get siri to launch some apps, but not all.  My guess is that I simply do not know what to call the app when requesting that siri open it.  So, is there a way to "nickname" apps for siri? 
    When I open my settings app, I have a list of apps that are installed, but the list does not inclue all of my apps.  All of the apps that would not launch were not found in this list.  The apps that launch successfully were on this list and I called them by the name that was displayed in the list.  Is the config that produces this "list" what siri uses to launch apps?  If not, how do I find the "names" of the apps not on this list so I know what to ask siri for? 
    The capability to nickname apps would be awesome, imo!!!
    Thanks.

    Sure, use the folders function. Simply move an Icon on top of a similar themed Icon and create a folder. Then rename the folder as required.

  • Unable to restore from Time Machine after an erase and reinstall - MacbookPro cannot access my old Time Machine backup volume. Desperate for help please?

    My MacbookPro would not move past the Apple logo and spinning wheel for a number of hours.  After trying the numerous suggestions to solve the issue I eventually opted to erase and reinstall feeling confident my Time Machine backups would come to the rescue.  After a successful erase and reinstall I tried to restore all my data from my TIme Capsule using Command-R during start up and by using the Migration Assistant.  Neither worked and I have received messages to the effect that the backup volumes on my Time Capsule cannot be access because I have entered a wrong password or because the backup volume is damaged.
    When I open my Time Capsule in Finder and click on my sparsebundle I get an eror message saying that the disk image could not be opened and that the resource is temporarily unavailable.
    Desperate for some help and comfort that many years of personal data have not been lost.
    Thank you.

  • Why can't I edit all of address information for Siri to use?

    I have been playing around a lot with Siri lately.  Unfortunately she doesn't seem to want to play with me.  I have been trying to find a way for Siri to remind to complete a task after I leave from a location other than my home or work address.  At first I realized that I did not have other addresses other than my home and work address stored under my contact information in my address book.  After I tried to tell Siri to remind me to complete a task after I left my gym for example, Siri told me that this information was not entered and that I should edit my information which I tried doing.  The problem is that I was not able to change the name of the address information in my address book from "other" to "gym".  Is there anyway to get around this? 
    I have also noticed that when I ask Siri to remind to complete a task after I leave a location (e.g. "work") she reminds me to complete the task when I arrive at the location.  There must be a way for Siri to distinguish between me arriving at a location and me leaving that location.
    My final gripe is that Apple does not have anywhere for me to submit feedback on Siri or its Maps services.  I do not understand how Apple expects to improve these two critical areas of their user experiences without allowing people to provide suggestions for improvement.

    So I read through some feedback posted on here and was able to answer my first question.  The second issue remains a problem however.

  • HT4946 My sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, Itunes,and ringer tones... the only sound that works is the buzzer. I was told at Verizin to try and update my I tune app off my Home computer and that might make the sound , will this help or is the sp

    Sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, ringer tones, movies or music. I was told by verizon that the speaker maybe out, but that i might want to try and reload or update my itunes by plgging into my home computer... will this help and if so how do I do this?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • HT4623 I upgraded my iphone4S yesterday and Siri response with "having trouble understanding".  Is there an upgrade for Siri?

  • How do I get features to show up in general settings like iCloud and FaceTime? I also can't turn on location services for Siri. I have the new iPad and have updated to the new operating system. Please Help Me.

    How do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

    Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image  Adobe Premier Elements 13  need help!  .jpg and mpeg images,  but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago.  I am desperate for assistance!

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • Java install won't accept Ok ?? Desperate for help??

    Java install won't accept <Ok>?? Desperate for help??
    I've decided that I'm going to develop my Rails applications in Linux and keep hitting a BRICK WALL every time I try to install NetBeans or Java. I download all of the packages and come to a text screen that says "Package Configuration" and then "Configuring sun-java5-bin" and then it asks you to read the agreement and there's an <Ok> at the bottom. I can't get through this and everytime it fails my 'package manager' goes bonkers and I have to reload the Ubuntu Gutys Gibbon operating system AGAIN!!!
    I push ENTER and type in "yes" and "Ok" and there is no response.
    I've loaded this operating system FIVE TIMES NOW and the bottleneck is very frustrating as I can't program in a graphics environment without Java.
    I joined this forum just to ask this question and would be grateful for a reply at [email protected]

  • How to add indian english for siri?

    how to add indian english for siri... siri no use for indian user...

    You cannot, it is something only Apple can do.
    The phone merely listens to the commands, digitizes into some proprietary format and sends it to Apple's servers, who do the heavy lifting of interpreting what you want. So you can't hack the language into the phone.

  • Questions for siri

    Asking Siri to call person with 2 contact numbers. Siri lists options but doesn't recognise me askin it to call 'mobile'. But can ask for specific dial such as: call John mobile. Anyone having this problem? Or am I doing something wrong?

    "For Siri to work, your device must be connected to the Internet using cellular data or Wi-Fi."
    From here:

    You are NOT using Siri to do those things without a data connection.
