My I-Phone 4S SIRI uses the wrong name when talking to me

When I talk to SIRI and ask a question the voice refers to me as Bernice, which is my wife's name and she also has a 4S

In settings, Calendar, Contacts and Email, on my iPhone, I made sure to select my Contact Card in my address book...multiple times. But Siri continued to address me by "Suzanne," my wife's name! Looking further, inside my contact card info, I noticed that the "Nickname" field had my wife's name listed. This could be due to my setting up my new phone with an iCloud backup "Restore"  from our family Apple ID. I deleted her name from that field, and VIOLA, that did the trick. Hope this helps others!

    Have you tried just exiting the setup and try trying later?

  • How do I get Siri to use the right name when I use it to send emails?

    I reset my user name in iCloud, and made sure that I changed the "My Info" to the right name. Everytime I send an email using Siri, the wrong name shows up as the sender.
    I even deleted the wrong name from all of my contacts. Does it take a few minutes for the proper name to progate through the system?

    the "rests" bit reminded of some post I'd recently seen with a similar issue. i couldn't find that one, but this one suggests that the interface itself may not be compatible with the current versions of OS X.

  • Capture window always uses the wrong name-

    Hello everyone, I'm having this problem… when I go to capture HDV footage the Capture Window always remembers the name of the LAST clip I captured, when I change it and do all my capturing I find out that all my clips (and with HDV that can be a lot) have still retained the wrong name (in the browser and on my scratch disk). I tried trashing preferences and it works for the first time and goes back to this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    Also I am using someone else's computer which is a G4 (not my macbook listed below).

  • What do i do if the phone locks me out due to using the wrong password

    what do i do if the phone locks me out due to using the wrong password?

    Do you mean the lock screen? If you have forgotten the password you have to restore the device and delete everything. Before you say "that's dumb, apple!" be happy it's not possible to hack because if someone stealsyourphone at least they can't hack it.

  • TS4079 Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new numb

    Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new number.Help
    I`ve tried restarting, rebooting, nothing works.
    The interesting thing is that SIRI can call to previous mobile numbers (without the new digit) obviously not connecting , and, can call to any other numbers as an office or home number. So the problem is the new digit in the mobile number

    Ecuador has added an extra digit to mobile phone numbers but apple wont accept 10 digit phone numbers so we cant use facetime or apple IM or verify our new phone numbers. ( and Siri won't work either!) I have contacted apple support online but can't request a call back as the apple system says our new phone numbers are invalid. I am going to phone them tomorrow and you should complain too at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.  . The more people that bring this to their attention the faster it will get fixed

  • Why can only siri use the english canadian voice

    I find the English - Canadian voice on my iPhone the most comfortable one to listen to, however, it is only available on Siri. It is not available at all on OS X Mavericks which you would think would have a larger selection of voices. Why? Surely it would mean less memory for the phone/mac to use the same voice for all?
    Why does the dictation on the iPhonehave to take place over the cloud? It is rather tedious having to rely on 3g to work we;l in order to use sms as a visually impaired person. Surely there must be a way for it to be non cloud based? If it means sacrificing a gig or two for it I would rather after all that is why i went for the iphone with the largest memory.
    Couple of other questions which I would love an answer to  are
    1. Why Command + Left Arrow shortcut not work under BVoiceOver?
    2. Is there a shortcut key for read the document from the point where the cursor is to then end of the page?
    I have tried asking these of the accessibility team at Apple, however, after 4 months of silence I have come to the conclusion that Apple do not actually intend to provide support through that method.
    Cheers,
    niteblind

    I thought about this too, But after reading other people's post about Siri for the IPhone 4, Siri is still in Betaphase (supposely) and it is only availiable in the IPhone 4S. I heard that once the IPhone 4S has been released after a few months, Apple might update the software to have Siri be included with it. People says that the IPhone 4 is powerful enough to support siri on the hardware, but I guess apple wants people reactions towards siri first before releasing it with other software to other IPhone users.

  • I used the wrong password for my belkin wifi. Now that I know the correct password I can not get pass the unable to connect or join message. I have turned off all the options such as wifi and join and also put my touch to sleep.. but nothing seems to work

    I used the wrong password to join my new belkin wifi. Now that I have the correct password, I can not get the to the join screen with the space to type in the password. I continue to get the unable to join message.  I have put the touch to sleep and I have turned on and off the wifi and join options on the Network screen page.  Does anyone know how to get pass this block of the wrong password to a new page that will allow me to type in the correct password.  I see there is a option that asks if I want to reset the network settings.. is that what I should do? and what does it erase when I do that?  Thanks for any input anyone has.

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • I am using the wrong language to access a secure website. How can I change it to English?

    I am trying to access my university account from a computer in Germany and while I can access some features, such as e-mail, it is not allowing me access to my secure faculty account. The message I am getting is that I am using the wrong language, i.e. German, to access my account. How can I change the language to English, since the computer automatically uses German.

    Put the link of the website into Google translate at [http://translate.google.com/#de|en|], then click the translate button. You will then get a link on the right hand side of the page which will take you to a translated version of the page.

  • I used the wrong email account when setting up ios8 iCloud drive, how can I change it on my iphone5?

    See the iCloud account FAQ:Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions for info on managing the account towards the bottom of the FAQ.

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.
