Siri dosn't work at all

Siri isn't working at all.  Anything I ask it says "sorry, I can't take any requests right now please try me again in a little While".  I use this to set up meetings @ work.  Any Fixes Please help.  I already tried disabling Seri turning phone off, turning it back & enabling... nothing, same thing.  Please Help!

Hey chicpl123,
Thanks for the question. In my experience, the steps outlined in the "Unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage with phone number and Apple ID after waiting 24 hours (iPhone only)" section of the following article usually resolves this issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
Follow these steps if your phone number and Apple ID do not activate after waiting 24 hours.
1. Back up your iPhone in iTunes.
2. Disconnect the iPhone from iTunes.
3. Turn FaceTime and iMessage off:
          - Settings > FaceTime
          - Settings > Messages
4. Navigate to Settings > General > Reset and select "Erase all content and settings".
5. In the iOS setup assistant, select "Set Up as New iPhone".
6. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage. Go to:
          - Settings > FaceTime and tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime"
          - Settings > Messages and tap "Use your Apple ID with iMessage"
7. Verify that FaceTime and iMessage activate successfully. It may take up to 24 hours to complete activation. When activation is successful, a check mark will be visible next to your phone number and email address in Settings > FaceTime and Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
8. Disable automatic syncing in iTunes.
          - For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK.
          - For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK.
9. Connect the iPhone and restore from the backup. Do not perform a full restore.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • IOS 6: can't get Siri geofences to work at all (parents, home)

    I’ve read many online examples of people setting up a geofence reminder for then they reach a location identified as “mom” or “dad” or “parent”. I know you have to set up a known location (like a parent or your own "home"/"work") but it still won't work for me on my iPhone 5 (my first Siri device).
    I have told Siri who my “mother” and “father” are, and that seems to have been understood successfully. (I see that info in my Contacts, and when I tell Siri the info again, it tells me it already knows that ___ is my mother.)
    Here’s what happens every time:
    1. I ask it to remind me of something when I reach my mom’s.
    2. It understands this just fine: it asks if I want her work or home address (odd, but OK). I tap or say "home." So far so good.
    3. Then it asks me WHEN I want to be reminded! Suddenly the geofence idea is abandoned and it thinks I’m doing a timed reminder.
    If I refuse to give a day+time, I can instead say “when I reach my mom’s,” which Siri seems to understand: it asks yet again for me to choose my mom’s home vs. work. I choose “home” and Siri goes back to asking me the useless “when” question again. Endless loop. No reminder set.
    But then today it's even worse: now it either goes straight to the "when question" without any attempt to understand to the location, OR it knows this is a geofence reminder, but simply says my parents’ address isn’t set. But it IS set—and Siri has properly mapped it for me in the past! When I try to re-teach Siri “My mother is _____” it says that it already knows that. So it HAS all the needed info, yet it tells me it does not.
    For comparison, I AM able to get Siri to set a Geofence successfully for my own home. I can look in Reminders and see that my request has worked. (But the reminder never comes: I get home and it never gets triggered. But that's a whole separate bug.)
    I've reported this to Apple via Feedback, but if anyone has a workaround to make Siri do ANYTHING with Geofences, I'd find it very useful! Thanks.

  • Siri dosn't work at the internal microphone

    It looks like other's have the same problem, but it's hard to find any working solution..

    Thx a lot, not it works again.

  • Some albums dosn't work

    Some albums dosn't work ( like all the blur deluxe editions CD2). Why??  

    OK I did a look up on that release which is the one below, and first off what is your listening location?
    The Great Escape [Special Edtion]
    spotify:album:7BiMMjtvTX0OiB8Yi7CFB1
    And all tracks are shown to me as available, and these are the listening regions that release is available to stream in.
    <territories>AD AR AT AU BE BG BO BR CA CH CL CO CR CY CZ DE DK DO EC EE ES FI FR GB GR GT HK HN HR HU IE IS IT LI LT LU LV MC MT MX MY NI NL NO NZ PA PE PH PL PT PY RO SE SG SI SK SV TR TW US UY</territories>
    If your listening location is listed above and you still have greyed out tracks. Might try and log out of the Spotify Desktop app and then do a full system shutdown, start the system back up and then log back into the Spotify desktop app, and see what you get with that release. I have had the desktop app hang up on something where only a full system shutdown cleared whatrever was messing up with it. Migh try it and see if this purges whatever is going on. If this does not work, you might have the Spotify desktop app cache corrupted, and doing an uninstall and a clean reinstall with all associated Spotify folders removed during the unintsall process might have to be done to fix the issue.
     

  • 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

  • HT204389 Since I updated my iPhone, with the last version , Siri it's not working at all.

    Since I updated my iPhone, with the last version , Siri it's not working at all.

    Have you changed location (e.g., in a different country)?
    See this article about countries that support Siri: http://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/
    Also, from the HT4992 article you attached: "* Siri is currently in Beta. Siri requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply."

  • Does anyone else's Siri not work at all?

    This is absolutley frustrating it took 3 hours to even activate my service and now the best feature the iPhone 4s has to offer does not work. Siri doesnt take any command I say or understand anything I say and I've spoken clearly and used different people to speak. I've used the same exact questions they use in the demos and siri just says "uh oh theres a problem can u try again?, or sorry I didnt get that...this is very frustrating... anybody else have this problem?? any help would be appreciated

    My Siri is not working either it just keeps on saying UH OH there's a problem please try again. I thought about taking the phone into the AT&T store but this is really an Apple issue. Not sure what they can do for me at AT&T but I can't get through on the phone with Apple. And the online support is trying to get me to pay to get service. I just got the phone today. Doesn't it come with some kind of techincal support?

  • My 4s has a blank homescreen, that is, no icons, and Siri won't work. How can I fix it?

    I have a 4s and recently updated to the newest ios. Also, today I changed my homescreen photo and lock photo, and gave a game access to my photos. Tongith when I was playing a game, my phone became very sluggish and knocked me out of the game. It wouldn't let me back in, so I powered off the phone. When I turned it back on, the homescreen had no icons. It only showed my background photo, AT&T signal, Wifi signal, time and battery power. It lets me pull up the notification list and control center, but that is all. Siri doesn't work, either. I can answer calls but when I hang up, it doesn't dim the end button or go back to the homescreen, it just gets stuck with the caller's identity and the end button. I have turned it off and on several times, plugged it in even though it has over 50% of battery remaining, I have reset it by tapping the power button 5 times, and I have reset it by holding the power button with the home button. It hasn't fixed the problem. What else can I do? And, what could have caused this? I was just playing a game.

    This is my exact issue too,
    I can temporarily restore this function by going to
    Settings
    General
    Siri, and turning Siri off then on again. 
    But after some hours, or by the next day it happens again.  Hope this helps.

  • The keyboard and track pad on my macbook are not working at all!!

    I have a macbook , The problem is that the keyboard and the trackpad isn't working at all but the laptop is runnig fine and i can use external USB keyboard
    Any help .... :@

    Hey Stu,
    Same here. First I was under iOS 8.0.0, brand new 6 plus. Reminders had the same problem: I can't add any task and can't add a new page, can't change the name of the blank page I have in front of me, my reminders are not synced with the computer.
    The only thing I can do is clic on the alarm icon (half-hidden) and when I do it's also blank and I can't add anything, Siri can't either.
    I tried updating to iOS 8.0.2, I tried turning on off the phone, turing on/off the sync with iCloud, restarting the app... Nothing worked.
    I added a screen shot of both the only screens I can see (in french, but "Nouvelle liste" means "New list" and "Programmé" means "Scheduled" so you should recognise the screens).

  • HT4285 my ipone 4s is only 2 months old and now the camera is not working at all , may i get a replacement new handset ??

    Dear Sir,

Had iphone3 and 4 for past few years and never had problem with camera, this one its the 1st one, and i feel very inconvenient with the such a good phone but couldn't use the camera at all.

  • Siri no longer works, since I lost my sound IPAD

    Siri no longer works on my iPad.  I don't use it often, so I am not worried, but I lost it when I reset my iPad after reading in these forums how to get the sound back.  The sound worked just fine, then it didn't.  I have tried all the usual fixes,Anne I guess I will have to take into a apple store just thought I'd try one last time in case someone has foundation new solution. 
    HELP ME PLEASE

    Did you make sure it is still turned on? Settings>General>Siri>On>Voice Feedback>Always. Do you still have sounds in apps and notifications? In the Music app?
