Siri doesn't work

I just got the New iPad. I updated it to iOS 6 and I wanted to try Siri. She responded to my hi with "hello". With every next question she says "I'm sorry for that, but I can't do any requests right now. Please try again in a while". Why is it so?

It seems quite obvious now, that the Siri server(s) are overwhelmed by the vast amound of requests from all over the world with all the new iPhone 5s shipped and iOS 6 having more Siri functions.
When I just upgraded the iPhone 4S to iOS 6 on wednesday, the 19th, it worked perfectly.
But as soon as the iPhone 5 came out it was just a mess. The first days it didn't work at any time, but now it got a little better.
It's just a metter of time until Apple stabilized/extended their servers to make it work again.

  • Siri Doesn't work on wifi only 3G

    I have just noticed that siri doesn't work on my wifi as of yesterday, worked perfect before, nothing has been changed.
    Only works on 3G, I've reset my phone, reset my network, restored to factory settings, even called apple tech and they couldn't help.
    Is anyone else having the same issues.

    this may be caused by the network and it may not be strong see if somewhere else will work other wise its the network or the iphone

  • Siri doesn't work on the iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2

    Siri doesn't work on the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 when I upgraded to the iOS 6

    Correct. It is compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and the new iPad (3) only.

  • Siri doesn't work on my iPhone 5 anymore and it is on and I have done a reset.

    Siri doesn't work and I have done a restore of software and it is turned on.

    Do you have any accessibility options enabled?
    A long press of the home button should bring up Siri, a quick double click of the home button brings up the app switcher. If you have any of the accessibility options under physical and motor enabled (Settings > General > Accessibility), these may be interfering with the home button responding normally.
    And do you have a case or screen protector installed? These can interfere with the home button's operation.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • HT204389 siri doesn't work question mark

    My Siri doesn't work, it has a question mark. checked settings. and all and still doesn't work, it did before but now nothing.

    Your post says you have an iPhone 3G.  Siri requires an iPhone 4S or later, as it states in the HT4992 article you attached.
    Your post also says you are running IOS 5.1, which cannot run on an iPhone 3G.  So please correct your profile.

  • Apple maps is really bad & Siri doesn't work well in my country & i lost all my books when i upgrade

    The most expected app for ios6 was the new map app. It really blow my mind how bad it is: always giving bad locations, tiny streets, traffic doesn't work, BIG etc.
    So, When are you planning to correct all these error?
    when apple says that siri is going to be working in another countries in ios6 i was expecting location of places fixed. Didn't happened.
    So when Siri is going to be completly functional in southamerican countries?
    I lost ALL MY EBOOKS bought way before having an iphone. Because i trust apple upgrades i just have it on my iphone and now they are all lost!!!
    really i was expecting way more from apple guys... since the death of steve jobs the changes of everything werent the expected by everyone. they are just not big enough.
    i hope u work out with all these soon ... cause until now ios6 is a HUGE dissapointing.

    You're not addressing apple, and none of us know the answer to those questions.  I you have synchronized your iPhone before then you should have copies of your evokes. If those were purchases then they can be easily downloaded again in iBooks.
    Maps is not the finest thing apple has ever done, they even acknowledge that, and there's other apps that can do the work you need, such as Waze and google maps, both are free so maybe give them a try.
    Anyway, yeah. These forums are not read by apple staff members so nothing we can do.

  • Siri doesn't work on my iPhone 5

    My Siri won't work on my iPhone 5?  I hold the button down, but it does not answer

    Do you have any accessibility options enabled?
    A long press of the home button should bring up Siri, a quick double click of the home button brings up the app switcher. If you have any of the accessibility options under physical and motor enabled (Settings > General > Accessibility), these may be interfering with the home button responding normally.
    And do you have a case or screen protector installed? These can interfere with the home button's operation.

    Last week i just got my iphone 4s unlocked one, I purchased one small carieer,and at first everything is ok.Siri can work on both 3G and wifi.But now,Siri can only work on WIFI, not on3G. Someone can help me?

  • Siri doesn't work still after the apple rep I spoke to said it would be back up this morning. anyone else have this problem too? and how can I fix it?

    it has been 24 hours and  Siri still doesn't want to take any commands anyone else have this problem too? and how can I fix it? she just keeps saying there is something wrong and to try again later. I didn't buy this phone to be jipped on any features.

    Mine wasnt working either but i saw in another thread that you should try Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Ignore the warnings, all your settings have to be changed back but you dont lose any media or data, you just have to put your background back and location settings. It fixed Siri for me but dictation still doesnt work. Hopefully it works for you :-]

  • Siri doesn't work anymore

    Hello,
    since a few hours my Siri answers every question or comment with " ok i guve up... could you try it again "
    Does anyone have an idea what happened?
    Thank you very much
    Tworock66

    toggle siri on and off by going to settings>general>siri turn siri off wait 30 sec, turn back on
    if this doesnt work reset the network settings, settings>general>reset> reset network settings
    if that doesnt work reset all settings, settings>general>reset>reset all settings
    (this will not erase anything off of the phone, but it will take you back to the main start up screen that has you reset your country, lang, location services, siri, icloud, etc. wen it asks you to either restore from back up or set up as new phone choose new phone as none of your info was deleted off the phone and if u choose from a backup you could possibly loose info)
    if this doesnt work siri may just not have a good enough connnection

  • Siri doesn't work when held next to head as advertised, how do I fix this?

    I just bought the iPhone 4s.  It's said that Siri will work when held next to head. How do I get this feature to work?

    Sounds like the iPhone is locked to another wireless provider.
    Have your sister contact her wireless provider to see if they
    offer unlocking and if she qualifies.
    Have you tried to activate the iPhone to your iTunes account?
    What happened? If there is an error message, what is the exact
    wording?
