HT204389 Siri won't help me call my friends or family

When I try using siri to call my friends or family, it says that it is not permitted to do so. What should I do? I mean, it worked fine until few days ago.

Check to make sure restrictions are not on.

I bought I phone in El Salvador and siri won't make phone calls

I bought I phone in El Salvador and siri won't make phone calls

According to this forum: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2175165/all, it seems that Siri is expecting a 7-8 digit phone numbers excluding the country code and area code, so adding an extra "0" digit or two at the back of the phone number may be able to fix your problem. The phone number should still connect correctly. Try that, it works for me in Indonesia where some phone numbers are still 6 digits.

No Christmas phone calls to 'friends and family'.....

I was warned that BT would take forever to fix a fault, and their lack of response is bringing me to complete despair.
I returned home on 7 December to find my landline not working, reported the fault, got no response, reported it again, got no response, reported it again and was told there was no record that I'd reported the fault. Then I got a date for an engineer to come out -- today, 28 December -- but no one has showed up.
I've missed the Christmas phone calls I love so much - long chats with elderly friends and family who don't have mobiles and can't afford to phone me on my mobile - thanks BT for making my Christmas bleak. And now it looks like New Year's Day will be a similar experience.
What can I do? It seems strange that a company can treat its customers so badly that they must resort to a customer forum...
Please help!

Dear Forum,
I want to thank StephanieG for her help getting my phone fault dealt with in early January. She consistently gave helpful replies and, most importantly, actually got something done. I hope that she will also follow up her promise to get BT to refund the caller display low usage charge and the landline charges for December. Compensation for agonisingly slow broadband wouldn't be a bad idea either, since this was also caused by the landline fault. I'm going to write to BT to ask for this, but I've got a feeling I won't get any better response than I did to my numerous fault reports.
It would be helpful to know why BT's faults process works so badly. I've never in my entire life experienced such poor customer service - reporting the fault initially was like beating my head against a brick wall as my fault reports were ignored, discontinued or marked as 'fixed and customer is happy'. Talking to BT's customer service people on the phone was equally frustrating and got me absolutely nowhere. Why does someone have to resort to a community forum to actually get help? How can any company get away with this?

HT204389 Siri won't open my apps

So I just got the iphone 5 and I updated it with my old iphone 3gs. When I ask Siri to launch any one of my many apps, she tells me that I don't have the apps I ask for. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do about it?

You must have not read my post right. I know how to use Siri, but she won't open any of my apps when asked too.

Siri won't connect calls after update

aafter updating to 8.0.2 Siri won't connect calls. She will find the number and tell me she's placing the call but after that nothing. Any help,

Hello Grandmac23,
It may help to force close all open apps on your iPhone, then restart.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If Siri is still unable to successfully place calls, the next step would be to restore the device.

SIRI won't call "the mother of my girlfriend"

SIRI won't call "the mother of my girlfriend" and says that an error occured or calls my own "mother"!
Please, help me out. I work my self by an Apple Reseller and no one of my collegas can help me out!
*the problem is not coming from my Contacts Book or Settings because everything is perfectly configured and this error is recent !
Thanks.
Paul.

I think that I was able to do that before... Because I have defined the family relationships of my girlfriend and I can't use them with Siri.
Thanks.

HT204389 Why won't siri respond to me?

I use Siri daily during the work day and as soon as I leave work Siri won't respond. I have called apple and I can't get the help I need!!!

Reset Siri in Settings>General>Siri. Also be sure to turn your phone on and off occasionally.

Hello Sonem,
I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot issues with Siri. I recommend reviewing the full article, but the section titled "Providing Siri with user information" seems particularly useful for the issue you are experiencing:

Siri still won't make international calls

I was so excited for ios 6, thinking for sure Siri would now make international calls. But, alas, when I ask her to call a person who’s number begins with 001, she responds, “Sorry, I can’t place this call.” WNY IS THAT, I have many international calls that I regularly make...???

When you enter phone numbers into contacts make sure you enter the number with the prefix that dials international number out from your country. the phone can do that automatically for you with the + sign. If you wanted to ring me my country code is 61 my area code is 07 and my phone number is XXXXXXXX so you would enter my number in contacts as +617XXXXXX. the leading zero drops out. To ring my mobile (cell) you would enter it as +614XXXXXXX even thou my cell number is 0419XXXXXX

My iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls. Everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voice mail. What's gone wrong?

For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??

Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4.

What to do when my new iphone 5 came damaged, is missing pieces, and apple won't help me?!

I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Apple. I preordered my iPhone 5 as soon as it was available, but did not receive it in the mail until yesterday. I excitedly met the UPS man and ran inside to open my new phone. Upon opening the package, I found that my iPhone is damaged (with dings on the front/side - and it is a white/silver iPhone, not black), the SIM card is missing, AND the earbud/mic/remote is missing!! I spent who knows how long on the phone with Apple customer service, only for them to tell me that my best option is to go to an Apple store and they'll switch it out for me. I was told that they will hold an iPhone identical to mine so that it is ready to go when I get there. I called both of the Apple stores "near" me (both an hour away) and neither would hold a phone for me - so I called later in the day when I was actually able to make it to a store, and they were out of stock. I was told that I should make an appointment with a Genius - but then I would have to come back later to get a phone. Like I said, this is not a short drive for me. I was then told that I could go online after 10 p.m. and reserve a phone, without paying, and pick it up in the store. It seems that is not the case. I have to either open a new account or see if my AT&T account is eligible for an upgrade - which it isn't, because I used that when I originally ordered the phone. So now I'm stuck with a damaged phone with missing pieces that I can't use, and I can't seem to get anybody to easily help me get a new one. I'm about to just call and ask for a full refund and go buy the Galaxy S3 that my parents love so much. They asked me what was so great about the iPhone 5... and I really don't know what to say.
Now what do I do? I'm tired of dealing with people over the phone who won't help me. And the Apple Retail stores aren't being very helpful themselves. Ugh!!!

Nice try! Take a hike.

When loading the program, the loading, circular icon will not stop. It seems like it is trying to load and can't. Since Adobe tech support won't help with version 13, I need your help.

I just bought this and was trying to load it for the first time and the circular icon just keeps flashing like it is trying to load and can't. Most elements come up but I am wondering why it is still flashing like it is trying to load.
At times, the drop down menus will not stay up. When I click on them, they flash and then disappear.
This is not a blank message.

Not the help you're looking for -- sorry -- but I'm fighting a battle with Adobe tech support, too. They won't help me with an issue involving using the program, but their site seems to indicate that tech support is available for download, install, & setup. Check page: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/what-contact-options.html and try calling them again. Good luck!

Siri Won't Launch Apps

I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi ***- Finally got Siri working the way it was suppose to on my ipad3.... After doing a few things suggested by the Apple Store (just verbal help without an appointment setup) I actually setup an appointment today and took my ipad into the store- basically- it required erasing everything on the ipad- and instead of doing a backup using my computer- I had everything re-populate on the ipad from "icloud" while in the store- so far everything still seems to work ok- however I have no plugged the ipad into my MacBook Pro yet- - but everything I needed on my ipad was already stored on the cloud anyway- so once I plug into my MacBook Pro and see if Siri still works correctly- we will know if something on the MacBook caused the problem-
Hope this info helps you guys- so to recap without so many words-
After spending an hour with the Apple folks- they finally did an erase on my ipad-without it being connected to my computer-
Once the ipad erased and restarted- we tested Siri and it worked fine- then I typed in my Apple ID stuff- and over an hour or so- everything that was stored on icloud gradually downloaded onto my ipad-
I'm now home- and setting up everything else- and occasionally testing Siri during the process- tomorrow I'll plug in the ipad to my MacBook Pro and see what happens after that-

The headphone jack malfunction Creative won't help me w

I have a Zen Micro 6GB with a headphone jack on life support. I've tried contacting Creative for the location of a repair depot, but since it's paid for and the warranty's finished they've quit responding. I guess I'm on my own now, and it may not be a "Creative" solution that replaces the Zen. Supposing every company abandoned their customer after the warranty ran out. Wouldn't YOU try another brand Their website offered NO "creative" solutions, or direction to where you could get an otherwise good product once they had your money and had a replacement model to sell you. Well, I'm now looking at home repair, because unless I cough up for a long distance call to someone who may or may not have a repair solution for me, this puppy goes into the drawer with the other dead battery-operated devices, the electronic graveyard. Bye, Creative.

Jonz,?I also am a newbie and I joined to look for people with your Zen Micro headset problem, so I could pass on the help I got. When you read below, you will know why Creative won't help you--Too much to admit!!!. The below web site provides guidance on how to probably fix the problem you have. I just fixed my daughters after finding this fix. When you open up your Zen, you won't believe how cheap the soldering is on both the Headset and the USB connection points. It appears to be generic the 6GB Micro. So, its not IF your Headset won't work, its just WHEN. These are not electrical connections, but rather connections that keep both Headset and USB pieces from moving on the circuit bd. There are 8 total. On my daughter's Zen, one of the four on the Headset module was just sort of laying on top of its mounting point, letting the Headset connector move a lot on the board, as if no solder was installed at all. The other 7 looked they were just glued down--waiting to come loose. Two things not mentioned in the fix.
. When you take the metal casing out of the plastic cover, you may encounter two small cotter pins (not mentioned in the article). Instead of finding where they came from, I just reassembled the unit without them. No problem. 2. One of the Heaadset solder points (for me the one that was completely loose) is mid-on-the-board in between the?Headset and USB?connectors.
The soldering iron adaptor I had would not?reach the point without melting all the Headset plastic and?possibly frying the Headset connection beyond repair. Had to buy a Radio Shack circuit board soldering iron?for about $8 with a narrow shaft and?long tapered point to reach the point. Fix went perfectly. Good luck.
