I cannot access Siri using my iphone 5 earphones by pressing and holding down the center button on the earphones?

I cannot  access Siri using my iphone 5 earphones provided with my phone.  I press and hold down the center button on the earphones, but it doesn't activate Siri.

If you had checked the settings - you might have noticed that Siri isn't in the settings either. Siri is in the settings on the iPad 3, the iPad 4 and on the Mini.

    I have a US iPhone and I am in the UK, I had a problem with the battery and got it replaced in a UK Apple store but then I start having a shut down and reboot ...when I called the customer service they said we can't give the UK options since it is a US product!! And that I have to visit one of their stores to get it either repaired or replaced !!!so, is there a possibility to get it replaced in the UK?

  • HT4623 How do I close apps that are running in the background.  If you double click button you used to be able to press and hold for the "x" to come up to allow you to close, but now I can't .

    How do I close apps that are running in the background.  You used to double press the button, and then press and hold to allow the "x" to come up, so you could close them down.

    Close all apps in multi-task window
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

    Maverick version OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    Up until this morning, 16 Sept, on any word processor (Pages, Word for Mac, PlainText, Notes) I could access European alternatives to each of the vowels of the alphabet by pressing and holding the letter key.
    Now all I get is a repeat of the letter.
    The question is: how do I return to the pre Sept 16 situation?

    Thank you all for your responses.
    I am most definitely the non-technical user compared to you guys. I’m never going to be in the position of responding with confidence to anyone requesting help in this forums; you folk may therefore have this information at your finger-tips.
    One of the best features of mac os x that I discovered only purchasing the iMac in 2013 was feature that by pressing and holding down a letter key a list of alternative language options appears. This feature disappeared on Sept 16. At the same time the outcomes of pressing and holding a combination of keys (most used Shift + Down Arrow) or a single key also disappeared. The most obvious of the single key outcomes was the continuous movement of the cursor along a line when Left or Right arrow was pressed and held down.
    Initially, the replacement outcome was if I pressed and held a letter key I simply got multiple repetitions of the same letter. Not finding my problem in the support forums I posed the initial problem.
    While this solved the problems of multiple repetitions it did not solve anything else.
    I finally sought help from Apple Support Chat over a 36 hour period.
    1st senior supervisor & 1st Solution
    2nd senior supervisor confirms 2nd solution (and confirms if 2nd solution does not work there is a 3rd solution).
    These two senior supervisors were intrigued by the problem and both shared the same view of problem and the same solution.
    PROBLEM - there is no location within Mavericks OS X that enables anyone to either switch-on or switch-off the outcomes of pressing and holding a key or a combination of keys. Consequently there is no easy quick fix.
    Since neither senior supervisor had, previously, been faced with this particular problem they could only project ideas for causes, software incompatibility or a serious hardware problem, which could only be fully resolved by returning my iMac to Apple ReSeller (3rd solution). Having no desire to entrust my iMac to the slightly dubious Estonian postal service, doing this would require two return journeys (taking and collecting 10 days later) involving 4x6 hours of motorway driving plus a 4x3 hour ferry and costs in excess of €350.
    SOLUTION - 3 were suggested to be tried in sequence if the first did not work. Reinstall Mavericks using instructions found at http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13871; (ii) Erase and Install Mavericks using instructions found at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14243 and (iii) return to Reseller.
    As had no effect, I attempted (ii) which involved a lot of hassle, but has returned all the functions of the keys.
    The downside is that I still don’t know what caused the problem. The only app I downloaded to the iMac on the September 15th was a Garmin Fitness app. “Once bitten twice shy” I shall download the Garmin Fitness app to my Airbook and will keep you folks informed…….

  • Since I have upgraded to ios7 my internet banking page will not fit the screen. Before updating I enlarged the page by using the *2 button in the bottom right hand of the screen, there no longer is that option?

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Cannot access/change APN with iPhone 4.1 (Celluar Data Networking Missing)

    I updated my iPhone 3GS from 4.0 to 4.1 last night and this morning I notice when trying to retrieve mail I receive the error "You are not subscribed to a cellular data service" and I cannot access mail, the web or use any data related applications.
    I do have the data plan and yesterday it was working fine. I confirmed with AT&T I do have the data plan.
    I thought maybe my APN was deleted so I wanted to confirm it. But now when I access Settings->General->Network there is no "Cellular Data Networking" option and in fact it has been replaced with "Set Up Internet Tethering". I cannot access my APN settings.
    I reset the network settings, rebooted and ejected/inserted the SIM card however this field/option does not return.
    Questions:
    1) With iOS 4.1, was the APN field moved?
    2) Is there a reason it would disappear?
    I confirmed I do have 4.1 and AT&T says my data plan is correct, active and did not change overnight. I simply want to confirm my APN says wap.cingular but the field is missing!
    I am frustrated since all I can receive are calls and text messages but cannot retrieve mail or surf the internet.
    My apologies if this is a known issue however I appreciate your direction.

    Hi,
    I'd like to suggest the following:
    1. Perform a 'hard reboot' by pressing (and holding) the sleep/lock and home buttons simultaneously until your iphone reboots then check your settings after.
    2. If that didn't work then try re-syncing with itunes (make sure you've got the latest version) and see if it pushes a 'carrier update' to your handset.
    3. If the above procedures fail then you may have to redo the update process by performing a restore via itunes.
    I actually do not have the option to edit the APN settings on my iPhone but this is because my carrier (Orange UK) restricts it by locking down the carrier settings file that gets pushed to all Orange UK iphones via iTunes.

  • Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook

    Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook. What should I do?

    I'm having the same problem as well.  I use keychain access often to remind me of my passwords and was happy (initially) to see one for "iphone backup".  When I entered it I got the same error message: 
    "The password you entered to unlock your iPhone backup file was incorrect. Please try again."
    Really frustrating.
    I searched many ways online, finally I tried "iPhone Backup Unlocker" to help me unlock encrypted backup password efficiently!

  • Cannot Turn On iPhone Cellular Calls - FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

    Cannot Turn On iPhone Cellular Calls - FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
    I *AM* signed into Facetime and iCloud using the same Apple ID.  Why am I receiving this error all of a sudden?  I make calls using my Mac and need this feature.  I have tried disabling and re-enabling both over a dozen times.  TRUST ME, it is NOT user error -- it is Apple releasing features before they are fully ready error!

    Hi rickwebby,
    If you are having audio issues with your iPhone after updating to iOS 6.1.3, you may want to update to the recently released iOS 6.1.4 and see if the issue persists:

  • I need a new phone and ipod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod only and not have to buy the internet data plan?

    I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?

    You cannot do this.  iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.

  • I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back-up app.

    I have lost my Safari app and all the bookmarks that go with it. I have tried to download my back-up on external drive but cannot access it. Tried a start with C key held down but still no access to the back up app.
    Have used Superduper app. to back up and checked back-up occasionally to see if all files present  and appeared OK.
    I had previously started machine using original CD #1 to try and replace Eudora which was acting up. Did not knowingly touch Safari.
    Running iMAC System 10.4.11
    How can I successfully download from the Maxtor back-up?
    Ivan

    Further info.
    I checked the content of my other back-up and found the bookmark Bookmarks.plist in the library under Safari
    Dumped the existing copy in the computer and drag-dropped the back up. All bookmarks restored.
    Solved the Stickies problem by using Spotlight  to find file "stickiesdatabase" and did a drag- drop to replace file. All data restored.
    Re Ical data loss. Used Spotlight to find iCal document in  Library - Preferences where I found com.apple.iCal.plist in folder.
    Got ready to make change but did not immediately remove file. When I returned to Preferences folder to grab above document,
    the readable descriptors had been changed to code consisting of some upper case letters and/or single symbols!
    So now I cannot tell which is the symbol  iCal.plist
    Thanks for leading me so far, but how do I find that plist for my calendar?
