Is Siri in iOS 6 compatible with old BMW bluetooth?

I just bought the iphone 5 and I have a 2003 BMW 540 with bluetooth. It seems that when I activate Siri, using the home button on the phone, while the phone is connected to the bluetooth Siri hears me through the bluetooth mic, but Siri's answers do not come over the car speakers. In essence, it is useless since I cannot hear the answers (the phone speaker is deactivated since it connected to the BMW bluetooth) and I do not want to take my eyes off the road to read the answers on the phone's screen. I can only think it is a bug in iOS 6 since Siri only hears me through the bluetooth mic and not from the phone's mic.
Thanks in avance for your help.

That's right, it's a bug. Anytime iOS6 doesn't work the way we think it should, it's obviously a bug in iOS.
First off, your BMW is very old, so the Bluetooth profiles it uses might be out of date. Have you checked with your dealer for an update?
One thing you could try: On my Lincoln, my iPhone 4S connects using two profiles, one for the phone, and the other for streaming music and Siri. The Phone connects automatically, but the music stream does not. Try changing your stereo "input source" to Bluetooth Streaming or equivalent. When I did this with my 2012 Lincoln, all the Siri commands and responses went through the car speakers.

Is pages 11 for iOS compatible with pages 09 on my Mac?

Is pages 11 for iOS compatible with pages 09 on my Mac?

There is no such thing as Pages 11 although the new versions on both the Mac & iOS could be referred to as '13.
Pages '09 cannot open files from the new versions. If you have ugraded to Mavericks you should see an update for Pages in the Mac App Store. Post back if you need help doing that.

Is mountain lion compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc?

I have heard that Mountain Lion is not compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc. Is that true?

Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011!
I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files. How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011? Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.

You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem. I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary." Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

Do not compatible with old verzion. OSX 5,6,7 ?

apple as I do in the future. I have it every three years to buy all new equipment? imac iphone ipad ibook = € 5,000. just because the numbers is not backward compatible

Numbers 3 is not compatible with OS X v10.8 or earlier. The iOS version requires iOS 7.
IF you NEED to use Numbers 3 on both platforms, you will need to install OS X, v10.9 on the Macs and iOS v7 on the iOS devices.
Your iBook will need to be replaced, or restricted to tasks not requiring Numbers 3, as OS X v10.8 and later requires Macs using intel processors (iBooks have Motorola/IBM G4 or G3 processors).
If your iMac is an intel based model, there will be a cost to move from OS X v10.7 or earlier, but no cost to move from OS X v10.8 to v10.9. The computer itself will probably not require being replaced at this time. If it is a PPC/G4 or G5 model, it is in the same category as the iBook.
iOS platform answers may be similar.
But you may decide you do not NEED to change from Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) to Numbers 3 or from the first version of Numbers for iOS to the current version. "Just because the numbers is not backwards compatible" could be a strong factor in your decision regarding the NEED to adopt it. It could well be the strongest consideration.
Before you make the decision, consider your needs, AND read the conversations in this and other forums, starting with these two threads:
What has been lost in Numbers 3.0 upgrade
What has been gained in Numbers 3.0 upgrade
Plus these:
Apple's current plans for reinstating Numbers features

Problem making modified WCF web service operation compatible with old client

Hi,
I am trying to make a modified version of a a WCF web service work with old clients. The method signature looks like:
[OperationContract]
itemList GetItemList(getItemList param);
I am adding elements to the "getItemList" class which should be optional. The class is generated from XSD schema with xsd.exe (this means we are using schema-first design). The new element is:
<element name="itemOwner" type="string" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0">      </element>
and the new generated code in the getItemList class becomes:
private string itemOwnerField;
public string itemOwner
get {return this.itemOwnerField;}
set {this.itemOwnerField = value; }
When I look at the new WSDL it has:
<xs:element name="itemOwnerField" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
Now I was expecting the old client to still be able to call the new client, since the new field is nillable. The client has a service reference to the old version of the web service so it uses a C# stub. When the old client tries to invoke the new service,
I get error:
The formatter threw an exception while trying to deserialize the message: There was an error while trying to deserialize parameter http://tempuri.org/:param. The InnerException message was 'Error in line 1 position 754. 'Element' 'itemIDField' from namespace
'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/ServerBaseAPI' is not expected. Expecting element 'itemOwnerField'.'. Please see InnerException for more details.
My interpretation is that the server side of the new service cannot deserialize the incoming message since it expects it to contain itemOwnerField. Why it that, when it is nillable according to the WSDL? What can I do to solve or work around the problem?

Hi gaor.mawell,
The nillable attribute is a special attribute in the XML Schema instance namespace that provides an interoperable way to explicitly represent a null value. The receiving end can interpret these as
null, zero, and null, respectively. There is no guarantee that a third-party deserializer can make the correct interpretation, which is why this pattern is not recommended. The
DataContractSerializer class always selects the correct interpretation for missing values. So have you tried to use the DataMember's
IsRequired property? this
DataMember's
IsRequired property tells the serialization engine whether the value of itemOwnerField must be presented in the underlying XML.
For more information, please try to refer to the this artcle:

Burning CD's compatible with old Windows 98

I have discovered an issue when burning html files to CD. When inserted in a Windows 98 machine, the html files are readable, but formatted incorrectly. Have tried burning from both my iMac and Macbook both running 10.5.5 with same results. If the same files are attached to an email and then read on the Windows computer, the html format is correct, so it must have something to do with the CD burning process. I need the compatibility with old computers as many recipients are using old hardware. Any suggestions?

okay, folks with the 2380s on 64-bit versions of Windows (it can hit both XP and Vista) generally get relief from the 2380s by reinstalling the 64-bit versions of the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for importing and burning.
here's a link through to the GEAR drivers:
GEAR drivers
note that there are two different versions of the 64-bit GEAR drivers. be sure to get the one that matches your hardware.

Is the new IOS compatible with my App?

I updated to the latest IOS available to my iphone4 this morning. Ever since my Simpsons Tapped Out app will not work, it freezes then my phone restarts. All my other apps work and I have tried restarting my phone and deleting apps to get more space in my memory. I then tried re-downloading the app which did not work. The game is still on the App Store and it's description says that it should be compatible. Does this mean there is an issue with my phone? Or possibly my origin account?

There are many reports of problems with the game and iOS 7.1 in the EA forums, mostly from people with the iPhone 4. So an update to the app would appear to be required.
Regards.

New AirPort Extreme backwards compatible with old Mac?

I have an old airport express from around 2004 and I made the mistake of upgrading directly from snow leopard to mountain lion. Subsequently I have been living with having to re enter my long WEP key every time I turn on my computer because of an incompatibility issue between the airport and my 2010 iMac. I want to get an AirPort Extreme to end this issue as well as increase the distance my computer and other wifi devices can be away from the base station.
The problem is that my parents have what i believe to be a 2006 intel iMac. I know the utility software for a new airport won't run on their old iMac. That's fine because I can run it on mine.
My question is, would my parent's old iMac have issues connecting to a network running on a new AirPort Extreme?
Thanks!

No, there would be no issues as WiFi is a standard.

Is 10.7 compatible with old photoshop

10.7 seems to have disabled my old version of photshop. What can I do?

Only if your version of Photoshop is NOT a PPC-only version. It must be an Intel-only or Universal Binary version to work with Lion. Also, see:

Why is Apple lying about Siri not being compatible with the iPhone 4?

Why is Apple saying that Siri needs the A5 chip when theres videos all over the web of Siri working fine on the A4 chip!!!

Apple never explicitly stated that Siri requires the A5. Anyone stating otherwise is lying. If someone can disprove me, please do.
What Apple has explicitly stated is that Siri is in beta and is a feature of the iPhone 4S.
Lots of people have hacked or jailbroken phones and gotten lots of things working on them. That doesn't prove anything.

Are new MyBooks still compatible with old G5s?

Hi,
I've just filled up my MyBook and I want to add another one so I can continue to regualary back up my data, but I'm worried MyBooks have moved on while I'm still using my 1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 (OS 10.5.8).
If I buy a shiny new MyBook and daisychain (?) it to my existing MyBook, will it work?
Sorry to be a ditz. I used to have a boyfriend who did this stuff for me. Should have listened and learned while I had the chance. My bad.
