I have turned off Siri's access when my phone is locked, but it isn't working!!

I have followed the instructions for turning off Siri when the phone is locked, but it isn't working. I even rebooted...and you can still get Siri to engage! Any ideas??

I'm having the same problem after I moved my iPhoto Library over to an external harddrive (and then tried to access it on separate occasions from different machines). I also found that my iPhoto had "locked" these directories somehow, and I checked the "Get Info" details: sure enough, one of the things that should have said "Read and Write", didn't.
But when I tried to change those permissions (including the "Apply to enclosed items"), it gave me this error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
Seems that I can't give more permissions because I don't have enough permissions to do that! Do I have to move the owners to "System" from my own account "b" or what?
(My poor "photos to be iphoto'd" directory is filling up quickly while waiting for iPhoto to be fixed.) Thanks!

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

How do I turn off the Icloud erase when the phone is turned on?

My husband is a ship captain and He thought he lost his phone, I went through all the procedures of changing his account numbers etc on email
only thing he has on his phone is facebook and email . He didn't have the find my phone app on when he lost it so I deactived it on our cell provider
and from I cloud I set up the find my phone to erase it when its turned on.
Well yes he found it, so I have set back up with the cell service but how do I turn off the find my phone from erasing it when he turns it back on?
And what is it going to erase??
Will he still be able to use it as a phone at least?
thanks for your help!

Too bad. It completely erases the phone so it will be like it was when it came out of the box. He will need to go through the initial setup screens on the phone again to reactivate it before he can use it, and it will require entering his iCloud password to do so.

How can I turn off "Find My IPhone" when the phone won't turn off but the screen doesn't work?

My IPhone has water damage so the screen has stopped working, even though the phone is still on. I need to restore the phone to send it back to the company, however when I try to restore it on the computer, it prompts that I need to turn of "Find My IPhone" in order to restore the phone. How can I do this on the computer with out use of the IPhone??

You can't.

When I turn on DND on my phone it only prevents sounds when my phone is locked but when I am actually using my phone sounds come thru

When I am at work I have DND on, but if i want to quickly check messages the sounds come through when I am on the phone. I lowered the volume all the way but I was wondering if there is a way that sounds wont come through at all if youre phone is unlocked?

I need to free up storage on my iPhone 4s to do an update. I have turned off my photo stream, but when I go into Usage Settings, it says that photo stream is using 3.7gb of space. How do I get rid of this?

iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage). iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll. But that's pretty much it.
Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source). Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good. The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
So, your questions..
1) You don't/can't
2) No, because of 1.
3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless. not so on a device.
4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud. You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)" I have turned off my Time Machine in terminal.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?
Yours Bengt W

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

If it scare y ou then take the machien back and ask the Apple Store to do this for you. What has probably filled your computer is large libraries such as music, photos and movies. Apple explains how to move those libraries to an external HD. Please read:

I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTunes when I try to update my iTunes Match. I have turned off iTunes Match, then reinstalled it, but that does not seem to work. I also get another Error Code (4010) sometimes. Can someone offer advice?

I keep getting Error Code 4002 in iTuens when try to update my iTunes Match. I have turned off Match, then reconnected, but the code keeps coming. So does Error Code 4010 at times. Can someone help?

iTunes store, App Store, iTunes Match and various other services have been down for the past several hours. Apple's System Status page at http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ now shows them back up but they are STILL NOT up for me or many other users. The error codes 4000 series refer to connection errors, I've gotten several from 4001-4010 all day. We're kind of at the mercy of Apple at this point. It would be nice if they would give us some notification about their problems since we are paying for their service.

I have a shuffle. When I plug it into Itunes, it tells me that it has not been ejected properly, and it will not recognize the Ipod. I have turned off the computer, and tried this with another shuffle with the exact same results. Any ideas?

I have been working on an iMovie project. I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on to continue working and entire section of about 80 photos was gone. The music attached to these photos remains. Can I retrieve this work?

I am at Snow Leopard and have only played a bit in IMOVIE - so can't speak for Mavericks - but -
In general as I work a lot in Photoshop - when you are happy with something save it and continue on - If you have Time Machine Running and you want to try things next that may or may not work - force a time machine backup - that way the version you are happy with will be available for 24 hours (and wish this was a setting one could extend)
If you turn off your mac - or end a program without consciously saving something you may lose what you worked on.
If IMOVIE did not ask if you want to recover what you were doing your update may be gone - but try posting new question - asking about automatic backups in IMOVIE and how they work.

I just purchased the IPad 2 and now when I purchase apps from the App store it says waiting and then dissapears. I have checked for updates and all apps are undated as well as my ios 5. I have turned off the power and reset the system and still nothing.

The free apps and the ones I try to purchase will not download. I have updated all my app and the ios 5 have the most recent updates. I have turned off the system and reset the system and it will still not download the apps. When I purchase an app it ask for password. I put the password in and it say waiting and then the app dissapears. At this point I don't know what to do?

1. Sign out of old ID
2. Reboot
3. Sign in with new ID
