Siri asks for contact choice but doesn't accept any answer

When I dictate an email I begin by saying "send email to" and I say the name.
If there is more than one contact meeting the criteria SIri will display multiple names and say for example, "you have 2 contacts named xxxxxx, which one should I use?" And then she beeps for a response.
I say one of the names.
But Siri does not accept any answer and keeps re-asking and re-beeping for a response.
I have to manually touch a selection for the process to continue.
If this is a bug, how do I report it?

Thelgord, iPauer,
first of all, thank you for you're answers. But nothing you've mentioned worked for me.
I've changed "My Info" to someone else and back again. I have no linked contacts, no duplicates, no middle initials or something else. I just have contacts in the contact app, saved at/in iCloud.
I've determined, of which I dont't know if it'll help me on at the moment, that it works when I'm deactivating iCloud contacts (Settings->iCloud->Contacts). I choose "delete" when iPhone asks what I would like to do with previously synced iCloud Contacts and all contacts are gone. I then create a new contact for my wife/brother/etc. and a new contact for myself (put it into 'My Info' in Settings) with all relations in it. Now Siri works as I expected.
For me, it seems to be somehow related to iCloud sync of contacts, that Siri is not working properly.

Thunderbird suddenly started asking for my password, but does not accept it. (Web mail works fine with the same password)

Thunderbird starting asking for my password. I know the password, just have not been asked for years.
After typing in password keep getting message
'Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.intergate.com responded: dmanns logon failed '
however, I went to Webmail.intergate.com; was redirected to http://email.1dial.com/webmail/Login.aspx.
Can get email from webmail just fine (same password), just not via Thunderbird.
Have already run two anti-virus scans. Have deleted the saved passwords and re-entered them as the program asked for them and renamed key.db & signons.sqlite (Read this in a forum on the web) and they rebuilt themselves. Still can not get email via Thunderbird.

Did you contact your email provider? They may have server issues.

Mail asking for my password but won't accept it?

Hi I am having problems with my mail on my MacBook. It is asking for enter password for account, I put my assword in then it comes saying"the MobileMe imap server "mail.mac.com" rejected it"? Any ideas as this has never happened before?!?
Many thanks

Hi..
Launch the Mail app.
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then click the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Select your MMe account on the left then type in your password.
If that didn't help, open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Password on the left.
Use the search field top right corner of that window to locate your MMe keychain.
Then right or control click the keychain, then click Delete.
Go back to the Account Information tab in Mail > Preferences > Accounts.
Type in the password. Click Yes when prompted to save that data to a new keychain.

Why is it that when i trash files from my system drive it asks for my permission but doesn't show up in the trash bin?

Hey guys, need help.
I've been trying to figure out why everytime i delete files from my system drive, it doesnt show up in my trash bin.
Has anyone encountered the same issue?
Would appreciate any help guys.
Thanks.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

It keeps asking for my password but won't accept the usual password.

When I try to access my account I get the following error message: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted." However, when I look up the account information the username and password I see are the same ones I have been using. How can I clear this up? I tried setting up a new account but it didn't work. Thanks!

If you changed your password in gmail webmail account, then you will need to remove and re-enter the saved password in Thunderbird.
re: Error message 'Username and password not accepted'
I have known a similar issue occur after an update.
I've also experienced a server request to loggon to webmail account cuase this, in which case logon to webmail and everything works ok afterwards.
That error message could mean the username and password are incorrect or it may not be correct for the chosen settings - meaning the settings are wrong.
Note: Username = full email address.
So try this:
if the password was remembered, remove it.
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Security' > 'Passwords' tab
click on 'Saved passwords'
click on 'show passwords'
If Thunderbird password manager was instructed to remember passwords, they will show up in the list. There will be be two, one called mailbox and the other smtp. highlight both and click on 'Remove' then click on 'Close' then click on OK to save changes to Options.
Close Thunderbird and wait a few moments for background processes to finalise.
Restart Thunderbird.
On startup it should prompt for a password.
enter the password,
make sure you select the checkbox for Password Manager to remember the password
click on OK.

My calendar is asking for Google password but not accepting it

It just happened now, out of the blue. My email accounts work well but my calendars keep popping up asking me for my Google password but they don't accept it.
I use Thunderbird version 31.2.0, Lightning 3.3.1 and Provider for Google Calendar 0.32 (the latest version doesn't work at all)

I have the same problem.
Last month i did the fix (desinstalled provider and lightening and relinked agenda to google calendar and disabled the autoupdate)
Since then everything worked and i did not touch anything. Nevertheless all of a sudden, agenda started to ask for my password but don't accept it and then says that an error has occured while preparing the agenda which won't be available.
[Exception... "[xpconnect wrapped nsIURI]" nsresult: "0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)" location: "JS frame :: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///C:/Users/C%C3%A9cile/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/k9ktyvla.default/extensions/%7Ba62ef8ec-5fdc-40c2-873c-223b8a6925cc%7D/js/calGoogleCalendar.js ::

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?

It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.

You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

You may want to wait for others to see this thread who might offer some other suggestions, but you could consider resetting the password. These instructions work for Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8.x).

After use, I shut the screen down and now a red light is flashing where the sleep indicator is, when I open the computer up it asks for a password, but my computer doesn't have a lock on it?

Regarding your new Guest Account.
If it is the Guest User created by Find My Mac, it is advisable that you leave it be in order to maintain the functionality of the Find My Mac system. It is not a typical guest account. A person can't use the account to log into the system. It only permits the user (presumably a thief) to use a crippled version of Safari, in which the thief will reveal his/her location, hopefully to an end result wherein you may be able to recover the stolen computer.
The very nature of this unique guest account is to increase the security of the system, not to degrade it as a typical guest account might do.
