HT204389 how can I get Siri to speak - only getting text answers

SIRI voice used to work but now I only get text. 

Three weeks later and no reply. So in case someone else finds my posting and has the same problem, here's what appears to fix the problem:
1. On the iPhone 4S, tap Settings.
2. Tap iCloud.
3. Tap on Calendars to turn synching OFF.
4. You'll get a warning. Proceed anyway.
5. Now the iPhone's Calendar will be blank.
6. Under Settings-iCloud, tap on Calendars to turn synching back ON.
7. Voila! Now no more duplicates! Hurray!
If anyone else checks here, I hope this works for you as it appears to have worked for me.

    How can I stop Siri from speaking certain words as I text??? It is so annoying and unnecessary!

    Actually, I did notice the thread age. However, this phenomenon only appeared with mu phone in the last week.
    You and I both would hope that it was corrected long ago, but that is evidently not the case.
    I added information that will be useful for anyone else encountering my recent situation, now or perhaps in some distant future.
    If you are aggravated by notices re: threads over two years old, perhaps you should disengage from the thread in lieu of making
    snarky remarks to those of us still getting useful information from them.

  • HT204088 How can I get the answers of Security questions?

    Hello,
    How can I get the answers of the security questions?

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
    Or you could see if the second half of Kappy's reply in this thread helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/20357006#20357006

  • Help filling out PDF - How can I get text to fit in text boxes?

    I need to fill out an application that is in the PDF format.
    When I filled it out, there were a few text boxes where the text did not wrap around.
    In other words, some of the text doesn't show.
    There is not enough space for what I typed.
    When I printed it out, the text was still blocked out.
    How can I get the text to fit in the box?

    Thank you so much for your help, try67!
    Was hoping for a solution on my end, but judging by your MVP status, you seem to now what you're doing! :-)

  • How can I get an answer to a specific question about PSE 12?

    I go to HELP, FORUMS, etc...I get no response or HELP directs me to  a page about  some other software. SO my question is: how do I create a transparent background?

    Thank you, that was a tremendous help. There must be some way of typing in a topic and one gets presented the proper page in the HELP section, but I keep being redirected to  pages for other software or pages that have no correlation to the topic I have asked about. May I ask, do you have any insight as to how I can navigate my way through?

    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • How can I get no answers and no help!

    Hi All,
    I am so angry frustrated and fed up with BT its not real and after a month of useless customer service people in every country in the world I have decided to get ofcom involved as BT just dont care at all.
    I have been a customer for BT for about 7 years and always paid my bills ontime and have many time in the past recommended BT (Not anymore) alot not only to friend but also to businesses.
    After a messy split with my partner i had to move from my property so on the 6th of January i called BT's moving team and got the process moving to move all my services (phone, broadband & bt vision) the guy was really helpful and said that the old phone and services would be disconnected on the 17th Jan and broadband the same day, he then went on to say that an engineer would have to come to my property on the 21st to check that the bt vision would work correctly as there was low bandwith where i lived but thought it would be ok.
    So i thought great all done but on the 17th nothing happened at the new property i call CS and the lady did try to help and after talking to the old line user said a mistake had happed with a cancellation and they would sort it all out by the 19th so dont worry. 19th comes nothing so another call to CS they could not work it out so put me through to a guy in the UK who could not have been more unhelpful if he tried. He said that the engineer had reported a problem but i would have to wait. At this point i thought i would complain as i had not had any comms from BT at all i had to do all the calling even though they say on the website if the date are moved they will contact you.
    i tried the only complaint messaging service this time. The guy tried to be helpful but then informed me that my order was cancelled? Why i asked he said he did not know but would have to call me back. Well he did call back the next day and still had no idea what had happened and i have now not heard a thing from him since last thursday.
    On Monday i logged into my account and now it shows i wont get any connections until the 7th of feb so i called and said its a joke and whats going on. The guy said what do you expect you only placed the order yesterday? I asked what? and then looked at the only account and true enough the order date had changed to the 23rd and they could not see the previous order even though the order number had not changed. Its a disgrace as i think you will find the moving team dont work sundays so i know someone has changed that so it did not look so bad. The person said he would escalate the connection (I bet he did not as naff all has happened). He said he would get his manager who i have to say i dont think was i just think he passed me to his mate to try and get me off the line. He said they would get it sorted and come back to me with 24hrs and guess what Nothing.
    So if you are a good customer and pay ontime this is what BT really thinks of you and will help you if things go wrong. I have got a complaint reference now and will be keeping a diary of events in order to contact Ofcom when it is all sorted and to post on onther forum the outcome and how i was dealt with.

    Well the useless system has done yet another update and useful as usual it now says my connection date for BT Vision is 26th Jan (2 days ago) but the phone and broadband will be 7th of Feb so that will be a full month since i placed the order and still nothing from anyone at BT.
    Nothing about the original engineer visit or anything so this is going to roll on and on and the so called escalation, well they may as well said what can we say to you to get you off the line as i bet there is no such thing as escalition at all as so far all its done is push these so called dates further and further away.
    Oh and here is a another nugget of so called customer service for you is you ask about compensation for all the calls, hassle and stress they say you cant have a thing as it says it in the terms & conditions. Oh well in that case why call you team customer services if you cant really stand the customers and cant admit when you make a massive mistake causing untold hardship to the customer that you would like to make up for it in someway.

  • How can you get text sent from a phone on your account to your email?

    I need to know i can see what is being sent in text by a phone on my account or the number that is being texted but i dont know how

    The title of your post isn't the same as the post, so I'm a bit confused.  If you want to see the numbers being texted by phones on your account, log into your on-line MyVerizon account (assuming you are the Account Owner and logged in as such) and click the blue Usage Details.  Select the appropriate line at the top of the page (if applicable) and then under the table showing text usage, click the blue View Messaging Details.  However, texts sent/received via iMessage won't show up since they don't go through Verizon's system.
    If you want texts sent to your e-mail, you should be able to forward them.  If it's another phone on your account that you're wanting those texts sent to your e-mail, there may be an app for that, but I'm not sure.  With Androids, you can get apps that back up text messages and then forward them to your e-mail; I don't know if there's a similar iPhone app or not.
