HT1414 My vocal texting and Siri does not work...why?

ANy thoughts on why my Siri on my iPhone 5 does not work?

A reset will not cause any data loss.
A restore from backup should not result in any data loss.
A restore as new will put the device in a "fresh out of the box" state.
If you are using the device as designed (i.e. syncing contacts and calendars to a supported app on the computer or a cloud service) then there is no risk.
Pictures are designed to be moved to a computer regularly.  Any that the user desires to have on the device should be synced via iTunes.
All media on the device should exist in iTunes on the computer.
Frankly, it would be really unintelligent to rely on any device, especially one as easily lost/stolen as a phone as sole storage of content.

  • After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out

    After upgrading to ios8 my 4s text dictation microphone does not work and is "greyed" out.  There is no function at all.

    Ok I fixed the issue, turns out a couple of weeks ago, I downloaded a program that was suppose to help shrink some of your stuff to use less data, it was called Onavo.  It was suppose to show you how much data you use to help keep you within your limits.  If you have downloaded this, go through your settings and delete it and it will fix the problem.  At least it did for me.  I can now send photo's to non Iphone users via text no problem.

  • The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work

    The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work anymore is there any possible fixes for this

    I had the same problem (iPhone 5), but the fix was simple.
    Turn off your Bluetooth.  Yeah, I know this sounds crazy.  Here's why.
    When you use Siri with the "Raise to Speak" feature activated (Settings/General/Siri), this enables the proximity sensor that lets the iPhone know it is near your ear, activates Siri, and turns off the display.
    However, if you are using a bluetooth headset (like I do), then this sensor is turned off automatically, because you will be speaking thru your bluetooth and not the iPhone to activate Siri and make calls.
    To prove this, do the following test.
    Make sure "Siri" is on, and "Raise to Speak" is on (Settings/General/Siri).
    Turn off your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
    (TEST) Hold your phone in front of you, and with a natural motion, bring the phone to your ear (as if you are answering a call).  Siri will automatically activate, assuming you want to ask it/her a question (very cool feature). And the screen will turn offautomatically.
    If you have never used the "Raise to Speak" feature, this feature automatically activates Siri when you raise the phone to your ear (really a cool and helpful feature). It may take a little practice to get used to this.  I struggled at first, but soon got the hang of using a natural motion to bring the phone to my ear.  Starting with the phone in front of you, the phone should be "almost" parallel to the ground when it gets to your ear.  It may take several practice tries to get it, but you will get it, and you will be hooked on this neat little feature.
    Ok, with this done, this proves your proximity sensor is funtioning properly.
    Now, turn on your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
    And repeat the same (TEST) above.
    This time, Siri should not activate, and the screen should not go off.  Why? This is because your voice communications with callers (and Siri), are now going thru your Bluetooth, and not the phone handset.  Because of this, their is no need for the proximity sensor, so it is automatically turned off (when Bluetooth is on).
    I can only speak for me and my situation, and what worked for me.  However, their may be other issues regarding the proximity sensor separate of this that I am not aware of.
    I hope this helps you.
    Man I love the "Raise to Speak" feature, you will too.
    God Bless You All.

  • Installed ios 6 on new iPad and siri will not work.

    Good morning, I installed ios6 on the new iPad and siri will not work. Each time I try to use siri she says "uh oh, I'm having a problem. Please try again. I have tried turning siri off and back on again. Resetting the iPad, resetting the network, turning Airplane Mode off and on again. All to know avail. My iphone 5 works great and so does my wife's iphone 4s with ios6. I have called Apple support but there only suggestion was that the servers were busy. If that was the case my other devices would not work either. Plus the servers wouldn't be busy for four days. Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I was looking forward to using siri on the new iPad and other folks don't seem to be having a problem.
    Thanks, and have a great day.

    Then you need to change your device details as this still says iPad2.
    It's very possible Apple's servers have been busy for 4 days as not everyone downloaded iOS 6 on the day it was announced. I downloaded it last Friday, myself, as an example.
    There are a millions and millions of people using Apple iDevices.
    Just because everything went fine with the iOS 6 updates of your iPhone 4 and 5 doesn't mean something couldn't have gone wrong with an update to your iPad3
    If the iOS update missed something during the download, I am not sure how to go about re-downloading iOS 6 to fix the issue you are having.

  • I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

    Question:-
    I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
    Answer:-
    For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
    Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here  and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
    (I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
    NOTES:-
    The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
    This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
    The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
    MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
    @mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
    The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

    Question:-
    So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name.  It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message.  What do I do next ?
    Answer:-
    Open iChat
    Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
    Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
    If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
    Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat  (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
    If you have a Blue Globe name  (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
    Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
    Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
    Then change the password in iChat as details above.
    Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
    Open iChat if not launched.
    Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
    Click the Add ( + )  Button at the bottom of the list.
    Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
    Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
    Add in the password.  (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
    Click Done.
    The Buddy List should open (New Window)
    The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
    You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
    You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

    I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom.  We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it.  Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

    Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
    Just a guess.
