How do I get maps to give me directions?

I can get directions on maps but when I hit start I don't get the voice or dynamic direction so I have to scroll the top green instruction bar to get the next turn. Sometimes if I go in and out it starts working as a normal sat nav and is pretty good.
I select the normal to and from option, select car then my preferred route and start, but then it enters this manual mode.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or not doing and how to fix it? If I ask for directions from Siri it works fine, except it regularly misinterprets my dodgy accent and sets the wrong destination. My point being I obviously works so I must be doing something wrong!

Ipad has no weather app.  I changed it in the "clock" settings, but that didn't affect Siri.
Changed Siri's language to English (Australia), English (UK), and Chinese (Mandarin), all still in F.
Change international region format to Australia and that changed it to C.
Apple's got to make a better way to do that.  Then again, why doesn't the ipad have a weather app?

  • How can I get Apple to give me an activation key for QT Pro that works?

    Stopping at the Genius Bar last night, they suggested I upgrade my QT Viewer to Pro so I could move some of my digital video over to my iPone. I followed the purchase/download instructions and after putting in the activation code, I was NOT redirected to the page to activate the Pro version. I did the usual of retyping ny name, the key and even installed QT Viewer again, all to no avail.
    I caled Apple support this morning and was told to call QT support and have them make my key recognizable. The only problem is the number she gave me for QT support says there is no QT phone support, only web information on frequently asked questions and this forum. I sort of feel like I am going in a circle.
    So if anyone has the magical answer on how I can get Apple to give me an activation key that actually works without being able to speak or email a human support person, I would very much appreciate it.
    Thank you.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Kirk,
    Thanks again for your suggestions. No, I don't get an
    error message. In fact nothing happens. My name and
    key are typed in and from what I understand, once you
    do that with a real key it directs you to the
    registration page. When I get done entering the
    information the window just sits there without any
    button or option to continue.
    QT Pro is already in the QT (non-pro) you installed and the key (which is a hash of your name in part) allows the Pro features to work.
    No redirect, internet, nothing like that. As such many people have activated and think they haven't. Just look at the menu items and see if the "Pro" logo is shown next to a few (which are greyed out and not available without Pro). If not you are done.

    Downgrading is not supported.
    Here are some basic troubloeshooting tips:
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
      - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
    If you want to contact Apple directly, call 1-800-MYAPPLE (1-800-692-7753), or go to getsupport.apple.com. 
    Don't waste your time asking for a downgrade of the iOS.  That's not an option.

  • I had to reset my ipad through itunes, how do I get Icloud to give all my info back?

    I have been having a hard time with my ipad, went to the apple store and they "fixed" it. The other night I had to do a hard reset through itunes, how do I get my info, pics etc off of icloud??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • How do I get Maps application to work in NZ on my ...

    hey
    I bought a nokia 5800 xpress music from singapore early this year and now im back in nz and I am having problems gettin the maps to work. I havent downloaded any maps software or anything and just not sure how to get it working? (yes i kno i kno, i bad with technology and probably dont deserve a 5800)
    what can I do to get it to work in nz. currently i can go on to maps and it can just show me my position and thats pretty much it.
     Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi,
    Nokia Map Loader is PC software that you can use to download and install maps for different countries from the internet to your device or a compatible memory card. You can also use it to download voice files for turn-by-turn navigation.
    To use Nokia Map Loader, download it from www.nokia.com/maps, and install it to a compatible PC.
    You must use Nokia Maps before using Nokia Map Loader. Nokia Map Loader uses the Maps history information to check the version of map data to be downloaded.
    To download maps or voice guidance files with Nokia Map Loader, connect your device to the PC with a compatible USB data cable.
    Open Nokia Map Loader in your PC. Nokia Map Loader checks the version of map data to be downloaded.
    Select the maps or voice guidance files you want to install to your device.
    try this and hope it works..

    I believe you need Siri which is not available on iPhone 4.

  • How do I get Siri to give directions using Waze?

    I use GPS while driving and would like to use voice control. I have tried using Apple Maps but have found it to be missing features and I have to go through a long process every time I want to go to the same destination. Waze, I start it and it asks if I want to go home or to work depending on where I am. However, to do this I have to look at the screen and press buttons. Is there a way to start and use Waze using Siri. Thanks

    Tell Siri to open Waze. She will reply that there is no app named "ways". You have to scroll up to where your dictation is and manually edit "ways" to "waze". Siri uses this to learn your accent, etc. Once you get Siri to open Waze via voice you have to access your Waze voice commands via either the 3 finger or hand hover method. Then you tell your device to "drive to home, work, etc"
    ---After trying a couple methods after posting this I figured out that if you simply tell Siri to "LAUNCH GAS" the Waze app opens right up---

  • How do I get Siri to give weather for New York, NY

    New iPhone. Asked Siri for weather. Got weather for New York, TX. Asked for weather in New York, got the same thing. Asked for weather in Brooklyn. Where I actually am. Got weather for Brooklyn, OH. Why did Apple drop Google's excellent maps and choose Yahoo's terrible weather? Or is this just Siri feeding the wrong map info to Yahoo? In any case, how do I fix it?

    I've seen this issue on other community threads, and know it has been reported to Apple.  I believe it's their problem.  Presumably when you run the weather app, you see the weather for your correct city.
    I've seen another instance of this same issue - Carrolton TX reports weather for Carrolton, IN.
    The New York issue is one I've seen many times.

  • TS1702 how can I get anyone to give us answer on the iphone apps casino game we purchased few days ago which once the token was finished we were not able to reset and play just for fun and not for gambling. we need help and not to be charged additional

    few days ago I have purchased Iphone casino games from itunes apps store. One of the game was made by the company called "ARISTOCRAT" dragan game. Usually we will get basic tokens to play the game, and if we ran out of the tokens all we need to do is going into "manu" and "setting" selete "dream" and reset that we should be able to continue play the game with same amount of the basic tokens. The one game would not let us to go back to the game. There were msg came out said" game center requires an active connection to the internet"? I didn't feel comfortable because we purchased the game for $1.99 to play for fun and not to gamble. We do have credit card on your file. We don't want to be charged alot of money for something not in our well. I need help to answer the question on the following:
    1.  Are we able to ever play this game again without going to internet? We don't even know which site to go to, because when we press the ok button nothing else came out to direct us to any area.
    2. We only purchased the few days ago order ID: MGT74GN6V7 on 10/03/12. all the other games we purchased we were able to continue to play by doing the same setting.
    Thank you for your help and looking forward to hear from you!

  • How do I get Maps to work on my iMac?

    The first time I used Maps on my iMac, no map showed up. In fact it has yet to show up. Do I need to download something else? Are there settings I need to change...very very frustrated. 

    Restart your iMac and then try Maps.

  • How do I get map info? All I get is a blank grid.

    When starting the maps app the only thing that shows up is a grid.In all three (3) views there is not a thing that shows up except for the pin that marks the current posistion.

    I have never used that, so I haven't been through the steps. Here's the original:
    eMac Consulting | Joe Streno | Downgrade iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7.
    According to my check on it just now the author is outlining a newer procedure involving the use of Pacifist 3.0.10.
    I would not have expected App Zapper to be able to uninstall software that had been installed before App Zapper was installed.
