Siri cant figure out who my dad is

I just got an Iphone 5s for my first time. I was so proud of myself, I hit siri up and told her to "call dad"
Her response was: "who is your father?"
The problem with this is that my dad is in my phone as "dad," and when I told her dad, she just kept asking me the question. This also happened when I tried to call my mom. It works fine when I say people's names, but for some reason it wont accept the fact that dad is my dad.
Does anyone know why this is the case? I'm wondering if maybe it has something to do with hoe my contacts were formatted on my old phone, but info would be great.

Because words like 'dad' and 'mom' are interpreted as relationships. It has to process relationships before moving on to names. Put their actual names in then tell Siri who your father and mother are.

Did you enable Siri in settings?
Settings > General > Siri > ON
If Siri is off, all you get when pressing the home button for 1 second is the old Voice Control.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

Hope this helps,

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore, can anyone help with this?

My ipod touch is disabled, i installed the latest version of itunes, but cant figure out how to restore the ipod, can anyone help?

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

My ipod is disabled for 21,998,546 minutes I cant figure out how to unlock it?

My ipod is disabled for 21,998,546 minutes we cant figure out how to unlock it?/ Please HELP!!

Option #1 - Wait for 21,998,546 minutes. Heck. By now it's probably only 21,998,500 minutes!
Option #2 - Place the iPad in Recovery Mode.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

My mac is version 10.5.8 and I cant figure out how to up date it.

My friends mac is a version 10.5.8 and i cant figure out how to up date it. The last update says it was february of 2011...

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

My lock button is broken and i cant figure out how to turn my phone on with my computer, any tips?

my lock button is jammed and i read somewhere that you can turn your phone on through itunes. i have tried plugging it up to a charger and doing everything you can imagine to get the button unjammed. i cant figure out how to use itunes to get it to turn on, any advice or know of another way?

maybe your power button is pushed down and won't allow it to turn on.
usually when you touch any button on an iphone, it will turn on. wether it's the home or power button.
you should take your phone into the apple store.

All user pictures are located in /Library/User Pictures/. Figuring out which is which, is left as an exercise. More than likely, a flower or nature thingy. They'll all open in Preview.

My macbook keeps asking me to use an administrator and their password to continue but nobody seems to know who is the administrator for this computer...does anyone know how to avoid this this or figure out who the administrator is?

Lynne130,
to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.

Cant Figure Out How To Transfer Songs From iPod back to PC????

I recently got a different computer which I have installed iTunes on and it recognizes my iPod right away but I cant figure out how to get the songs and files from the iPod onto this computer, I'm assuming since its a different computer... so right now it seems like I'm unable to change songs around on my iPod and if I cleared the iPod I'd no longer have any of my songs since they were also on my old computer which is long gone. Your Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

There are a few third party utilities which allow you to back up your ipod and mirror it with your itunes. I use podutil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php you can dl it for free and put up with annoying nag screens or part with £10. I have used a couple of time to rebuild my itunes play list etc (and video) and it works a treat. However it does not backup your notes/contacts/calendar...
