HT204389 Siri sounds like beta Siri after installing a fresh Copy of iOS 7.0.2
I have a 32GB iPhone 5s on AT&T I recently installed a fresh copy of iOS 7.0.2 and now Siri does not sound like the new Siri she has the robotic voice again. I have went to Settings>General>Accessibility>Voice Over(Which is off)>Languages & Dialects>Default Dialect(Set to U.S. English) and turned enhanced voice on. I watched it download the enhanced voice. Still the same thing. I have powered off the phone and powered it back on. Siri still sounds like the siri of old. I have performed a hard reboot. Siri still sounds the same. When I first got the phone she sounded as advertised. Is there anything else I should try?
Hey hmj9007,
Great question. After restoring or updating a device, the system initially uses a more compact voice while the natural-sounding voice is downloading:

Can I change how Siri sounds?
Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. Your device will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice when you first connect to power and a Wi-Fi network.
Change the gender at Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. The voice genders that are available vary by country and region.
Change the language at Settings > General > Siri > Language.
If you change either of these, the new enhanced-quality voice will download when you connect your device to power and a Wi-Fi network.
Thanks,
Matt M.

“iBoostUp.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “iBoostUp.app” and download it again from the App Store.
Because of the above error, i am not able to use iboostup application. I have even tried to reinstall from app store, but the issue still continues.
Need help.Perhaps the damaged file is an auxiliary file outside the app bundle and stored elsewhere on your Mac. Try deleting the app and all it files with an app for that purpose. Afree one is AppCleaner;

After installing the latest version of IOS my iPhone 4s rapidly runs out of power, it also suddently (fully charged) shuts down and restarts without me asking for it. I tried to reinstall the latest version of IOS but it doesnt help. Any advice?
Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

Just re-installed a fresh copy of CS6 Photoshop on my Yosemite Mac Book Pro and somehow the Adobe Application Manager does not work and therefore cannot verify my copy. What should I do?
I get a message saying that Adobe Application Manager may be damaged and that I should install a new version of AAM. But after downloading a fresh copy of AAM and doing the install, the program (AAM) still will not install. It is like an infinite loop!
Please, someone help!
Thanks!HI gener7!
I'm sorry but I am not on Creative Cloud. I'm still on CS6 and it was the Adobe Application Manager that wasn't working and I could not install the update to this application. My AAM version is: 8.0.0160
The link you provided was the update that I wanted to install but it does not work. A window shows up during that install that says:
We've encountered the following issues.
Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
and then the link to the Adobe Support Advisor which leads to a "Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued" page.
Thanks! -
How do I install a fresh copy of WinXP SP on Protege 2000
I have this P2000 since a month, which has a running version of Windows XP Professional. As it had encountered problems and frequent crashes and delayed reboot and gotten to become slow to a point where booting it up to see the windows desktop seems like an achievement.
I took the necessary back up, and now am planning to install a fresh copy. I burned a Bootable CD containing to set up files and tried booting the P2000 with an USB-CD/DVDROM. I even changed the bios setting to boot from the CD-ROM, and yet it fails to boot. It says some error.
My HDD is MK2003GAH 1.8 inch.
The CD-RW/DVD Drive is H.L Data Storage Model No. GCC-4241N TYPE GYGO REV. SO FW:OP34
Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 4.0.10
Copyright(C
PXE-E61: Media test failure, Check Cable
PXE-MOF: Existing Intel PXE ROM.
and proceeds to load windows XP for more than 25 minutes and restarts again.
Yes, I read through a couple of threads on how one could use a PCMCIA and all. But I am clueless. Please Help.
Thank you.
Samirthe problem is :
1 : the bios of your portege only recognizes a few CDrom devices
2 : the installation procedure of Windows XP doesn't know how to cope with the external CDrom devices
the only way is to go back to a DOS environment ( fat32 ) and load the proper drivers for your USB-CDrom from a floppy-disk and than start the DOS-installation of XP ( winnt.exe )
In these threads you will find all the information you need :

i need to install a fresh copy of OS X onto my macbook pro 13. i did erase the old partition "macintosh hd" & now when i am trying to create a new partition, it shows "partition failed..couldnt unmount disk"...pls help !!
First of all, I have to ask, why to you "need" to install a fresh copy of OSX?
This may mean that your hard drive is failing, so hopefully you have a backup.
I'm assuming you were in your recovery partition when you did this.
I would, from the recovery partition, repair your hard drive and permissions.
When to Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility - For Dummies
And then try to create the partition again.
If that doesn't work, you have a few options:
Try a third party utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool which may be able to repair your hard drive:
DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
Try internet recovery, perhaps erase the entire hard drive and reinstall ML.
If nothing else works, then I'd replace the HD and start over. -
Hi, how I format the drive and install a fresh copy of Lion?
Hi, I have a Lion installed on a Mackbook Pro 2011, I had Leopard, then Snow Leopard and then Lion, but with so many instalations without formating the system is not working well, I am using an iMac at work with a clean install and is much more stable.
How can I format the hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion???Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.
As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic. -

Siri sounds more robotic on my iphone for the iOS 7 update..... Help????
Hello smartbud,
The following article provides steps for changing the way Siri sounds.
Can I change how Siri sounds?
New female and male voices will be available initially in U.S. English, French, and German. You can change the gender by going to Settings > General > Siri > Voice Gender. Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. iOS will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice when you first connect to power and a Wi-Fi network.

Fan sounds like a hairdryer after screen has been replaced...eh?
Can someone who's 'up' on imacs give me a steer here.
At the beginning of the week, with only a 14 days to go on my 3 year Applecare warranty, I noticed a grey streaky 'misting' on the screen when it was turned off. It was really quite bad. Called Applecare, who got their servicing company to collect it, screen replaced with no problems. Got it back today, new screen, looks great.
So far so good. Except that the fan is now whirling around and making an incredible noise after about 10 minutes of the machine being turned on. I'd say it's around 5 times as loud (or hyperactive) as it was before I sent it off for a new screen. One of the things I turned to the imac for was it's quietness, so this is worse for me than a misty screen, to be honest. Sounds like a hairdryer.
Put it this way: I often listen to music late at night, very low, but now the fan would drown out the sound of the music. Called Applecare, who are going to get it collected again, but from what I've read in these forums this evening (& I'm no expert) it could be a software related problem (temperature controls and all that...) I'm not sure that the guy I was talking to at Applecare today quite understood what I was trying to explain, and said it was definitely a hardware problem. I want to call Applecare back on Monday before the mac's collected again to just make sure it has to be carted off again, with a bit of back up info from anybody who might help here.
thanks
chrisReset your SMC to see if that makes a difference:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer. -
No onboard sound- MSI k7n420 Pro after installing ATiI 9700 pro
I'm not sure if this has been answered previously.
I just installed an ATI 9700 pro on my MSI K7N420 Pro. Video card works great, but sound is absent after installing vid card.
In device manager shows yellow marks on nforce audio codec interface and nforce midi Uart. The former says: NtKern.vxd device loader for this device could not load the device driver. THe latter says: This device is either not present,, not working properly, or does not have all drivers installed.
I tried reinstalling the drivers using the windows files present in system, but nothing changed.
I'm not sure what to do next.
Any help would be appreciated.
System hardware:
MSI K7n420 MB with onboard sound & video, ver 1.05
ATI 9700 Pro video card
512 MB ram pc2100
40 GB western HD
win98Hi,
Win98 - SE? Although this board (K7N420) works fine with Win 98 it can have driver issues (although, it's that long since I installed it - I can't remember what they were!). An upgrade to XP (Pro if possible) should be at the top of your Xmas list - then issues such as the one you're having should be a thing of the past
The card will work with DirectX 8 but as far as I know the 9700 is fully DirectX 9 compatible - so you should really install it as it enables more features.
You can find your BIOS version on the initial boot screen!
Have you any IRQ conflicts? - Check device manager.
Is PNP OS enabled in your BIOS? if so disable it and see what happens. Also Enable APIC! (BIOS)

Need to install a fresh copy of firefox
after I uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security webpages stopped loading. I'm getting Unable to connect message. This issue affected 3 out of 4 browsers that I use. All browsers work in safe mode, but Safari is the only one that works in normal mode. IE Chrome, and Firefox will not work. I thought I need to make a fresh install of the browser to work. First I've tried to reset Firefox to to default settings - this didn't solve issue. Then I've cleaned all attributes via ccleaner: http://screencast.com/t/pOpgoO8c4Olf , then uninstalled FF, then downloaded and installed fresh copy. This didn't solve the issue either. So question: how do I install a truly fresh copy of the browser?

Installing a fresh copy of OS X Mavericks from USB on iMac 12,1 with broken SuperDrive.
Hi,
I want to get a fresh copy of OS X Mavericks on my iMac 12,1 (mid-2011 - i5 2,5GHz, 8GB RAM, AMD Radeon 6750M with 512MB) with broken SuperDrive. I made a pendrive with DiskMaker X, but I can't boot it anymore on iMac. My flash drive isn' corrupt - it performs well on MacBook Pro. What can I do to install it on iMac?
Greetings,
Jakub Borys
Post scriptum - Sorry for my poor English.Oh, man, I wish I had something useful to offer. It sounds bad. Really bad.
Do you have a friend -- or possibly a Mac ot work -- from which you could make a new USB Mavericks installer? I only say that because I've read of a few problems here and there with boot drives made with DiskMaker X. What I'd recommend, if it's at all possible, is to download the latest Mavericks DMG file, reformat the USB drive with a fresh GUID partition and then burn the disk image onto it with the Mavericks built in createinstallmedia method. Here's a link to an article which describes how to do it: http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html. This is, in fact, the very article which got me onto the right path.
You'd think that a bootable Mavericks installer would be a bootable Mavericks installer no matter how it was made. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case.
