Siri never works the first time I activate her

i tend to use her almost exclusively for dictation in emails and messages. at home, on wifi, virtually every time i press the mic button it shows siri, nothing happens, then i get a beep and she disappears. i press the mic button again, and she then takes dictation just fine. this has been going on since i've had the phone (about 5 months) but i just finally posted about this since i just thought i would eventually see an article related to the issue, but i never have. anyone else have this issue?
btw, the same thing happens in 4G, but i would expect that to act a little worse anyway than home wifi.

Mine does a variance of this too, although it doesn't completely disappear for me. More to the point, it activates (beeps) when I call upon SIRI, then beeps again quickly as I start to talk. I push the mic icon to speak again and it does fine.
I suspect that the reason is that is the phone is attempting to actively connect to the network when I first call upon SIRI to do her magic, and the delay in connection (however slight) is enough to alert SIRI that she didn't hear the first part of what I said. By doing this, it is in effect telling me that she didn't get all of what I said, so it would be pointless to continue unless I push it again now that she is fully connected.
I may be wrong, but at least that's how I rationalize what my iPhone is doing.

I have a Mac Mini, and it won't accept connecting my Sony video camera. So I got a SD mem card reader to unload my movies from. It worked the first time I used it a few months ago. This time it says it doesn't recognize the format I am trying to use?

I have all thenecessary updates. I have switched over from a PC to Mac back in April and have nad nothing but problems adapting. I don't know why this worked the first time, and put my videos inti imovie, and now it doesn't recognize it at all. And the Mem card reader does work, because I just put the SD card from my regular camera into it and it downloaded those fine, it just won't take my movies!

Which sony camera? I have a Sony HDR-CX550 right now and have been able to use the SD card as well as connect the camera directly. I also had CX110 that work too. You may want to try to copy the complete top level folder from the SD card to the Hard drive, then try to "import from Camera archive" and select that folder.

Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

Hi,
I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
Thanks

Hi I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked with what shall I do? PLease help

Hello everybody
I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

My iPod touch 4th gen white's home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.

My home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time. This is very annoying. Why is it doing this?

- Try a reset. It cures many ills and nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Screen suspend + gnome only works the first time

Hi all,
Being new here , i hope i'm posting in the right place.
I've just installed arch i686 , everything is running like clockwork, nearly everything actually.
i'll try to explain the problem shortly.
i've set screensaver to start after 1minute and the screen to suspend after 2 for testing. After a boot, these settings works like a charm, moving the mouse, enter password and go on working. After that, after 1 minute idling, screensaver starts but the screen never switch off. If i open the gnome application to manage power, re-apply my settings, it will work but just the first time.
It's not a big issue, i know that i've just have to re appply settings each time i leave or switch off monitors manually but it's a bit annoying, and i'm curious , i'd really like to solve this little problem. As i'm not a linux guru at all, i don't know where to start searching, any clue will be greatly appreciated.
Thx in advance.
Jojo.
P.S.: sorry if it's a bit confused and for my english .

Thx for your answer loafer,
i'm still "googleing" to find a clue. I'm sure the answer is simple, one day, i ll find it.
I'm still looking for clues anyway.
Thx in advance.
Jojo.

Suspend command only works the first time

I'm seeing a strange issue with my machine. If I suspend the system by using either:
systemctl suspend
or
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
the system will suspend the first time, but then if I try to suspend again, it doesn't suspend completely. The screen goes black and my external hd shuts down, but the box doesn't shutdown. It stays running.
Could anyone offer some suggestions on what to check?
I checked the systemd journal and I don't see any errors that stand out as being the problem.

I've got a similar error. When trying to suspend via systemctl the machine goes down.
The screen goes blank and I can hear my harddrives spinning down but before they go completely silent, the system comes back up again.
Fully working as if I never even wanted to suspend. I'm pretty sure my drives don't like that a lot.
The first time after a boot works however, as mentioned by Gumper.
systemctl reports this:
A dependency job for suspend.target failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details.
But I can't see anything related in the journal.
This is my second suspend problem now. I already have trouble waking up from suspension on my notebook:

This new problem now is on my x64 desktop machine if that helps. Of course this happens on the same day I clean my pkg cache

In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

I have iMovie 10.0.4. I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file it worked as expected. Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer. When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer. The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress. The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining. In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing. I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over. It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries. What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

HT201320 Setting up mail only works the first time and then fails...

Hello,
I own a new iPad 4.
Setting up my own mail accounts works great for the first time (I see new mails and I can sent mails), but the second time I open the Mail-App it complains about my mail settings.
Mails are provided from my own domain. Using other mail clients I don't have issues.
Setting is based on IMAP ssl/port 993 and ssl/578. iPad runs on IOS6.1.
Do you have an idea why?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

[Solved] DVDs and CDs only work the first time I put them in

First lets get this straight before it is asked later on down the line. I am a 6 year Linux user and 2 year Arch user. I am currently using xfce4 and thunar as my file manager with thunar-volman installed. This has been a problem for the past year or so. I use my laptop most of the time (also Arch 64 and working like a dream) so I only try fixing it every so often to no avail.
I can put in a CD or a DVD and play them with VLC. Here's the catch: after I eject the CD/DVD and put in another one I can't play it or find it. The first time I put one in I even get an icon on the desktop. I don't think it's reasonable to have to reboot everytime I want to play another DVD (time wasted by constant rebooting is one of the very long list of reasons I don't use Microshaft products). I'm stumped, I can't be the only one, but my forum searches yield no treasures.

Thanks for trying, however, I posted what I use for a reason. I am using VLC, and I am a minimalist so I don't want a bunch of programs for doing the exact same thing. VLC is the only player for Linux that plays MTS files out of the box, so I'm not interested in switching or adding another.
Anyways, it's irrelevant because as I said before, thunar mounts it correctly the first time I put in a DVD or CD and displays an icon on the desktop for the disk. Therefore the problem is most likely hal related, since this began about the time we switched to hotplugging, and besides this I love hotplugging so I am also not interested in disabling that (who know what problems I'll introduce for my MAC keyboard and webcam if I do that). Yes I've read the hal and dbus wikis.
I can even get a USB CD writer to work with xfburn, however it's a relic and I think that's a sorry work around when I have internal drives that, in theory, work just fine. I wonder if it has anything to do with the drives being IDE when I used the SATA install option on the install disk (I did a fresh install last week) since my hard drives are SATA.

My AS3 buttons only work the first time

I have set up my buttons so that are each a movieclip with 'over' and 'out' states/frame labels. They exist on the main timeline. The actionscript controlling them is situated in a frame on the main timeline and the frame holding that actionscript is on the same point within the main timeline where the buttons are introduced. I am using actionscript 3.
The buttons have been set up so that they navigate to another frame on the same main timeline and on that frame is a movie. The movie dimensions are smaller than the main stage so the buttons are still accessible when each movie is played.
The problem is my buttons are only working once - by that I mean they go to the correct place when clicked the first time, but when they are clicked again they navigate elsewhere.
Totally doing my head in trying find a solution and if anyone can help and show me what I'm doing wrong that would be really really helpful. Here's the code I used for the buttons...
stop();
function mainBtnOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.gotoAndPlay("over");
function mainBtnOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.gotoAndPlay("out");
///////// INDIVIDUAL BUTTON CLICK FUNCTIONS
function mainBtn1Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("01Movie");
function mainBtn2Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("02Movie");
function mainBtn3Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("03Movie");
function mainBtn4Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("04Movie");
function mainBtn5Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("05Movie");
////////// Button 1 Listeners
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn1Down);
////////// Button 2 Listeners
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn2Down);
////////// Button 3 Listeners
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn3Down);
////////// Button 4 Listeners
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn4Down);
////////// Button 5 Listeners
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mainBtnOver);
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, mainBtnOut);
mainBtn5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mainBtn5Down);
I'm sure it's me doing something very stupid - I'm very new to AS3. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks :-)

If the frame labels you are going to have movie clips that have your presentation content, you should use gotoAndStop("frameLabel") instead of gotoAndPlay("frameLabel"). There's no need to play the main timeline when you go to and show any of these movie clips. I'm not sure if this is your issue, though... Using your code, I had no problems.
Also, you can set up your animated buttons in a way that eliminates the need to have your ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events. This isn't necessarily better, but just another method. Although I might use other ways to animate a button, I do like to reduce the code it takes to use the buttons in an interface, and only use CLICK in most cases.

HTTPService.send() only works the first time

I have the follow HTTPService defintion in my mxml page:
<mx:HTTPService
id="updateRequest"
url="{accessURL}"
useProxy="false" result="onSuccessEvent(event)"
fault="onFailEvent(event)">
<mx:request>
<username>{userName}</username>
<password>{password}</password>
<id></id>
<sname></sname>
<value></value>
<randomNum>0</randomNum>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
Here is my call:
updateRequest.request.id= myid;
updateRequest.request.sname= myname;
updateRequest.request.value = myvalue;
updateRequest.request.randomNum = Math.random();
updateRequest.send();
The first time call is successful, but second time(after 30
seconds), after send() function call, I didn't even received
HTTPService call from server side. Is this somehow cached or I need
to reinitial it? This looks strange.

I am having the same issue but have already been using the
post method. When I click my refresh button or if the timer I have
set up resets I see no request made to the server.
private function onResult(Event:ResultEvent):void {
var myNum:int = Math.round(Math.random() * 2);
var xmlResult:XML = XML(Event.result);
_xlcMyListData = new XMLListCollection(xmlResult..asset);
<mx:HTTPService id="tempXML" resultFormat="e4x"
result="onResult(event)" method="POST" url="
http://mysite.net/info_wrapper.php?customer={customer.text}&username={username.text}&a mp;password={password.text}"
useProxy="false"/>
<mx:TileList dataProvider="{_xlcMyListData}"
labelField="fleet" left="35" right="15"

AutoPlay Only Works the First Time

Our customer is getting a little annoyed by something happening with their CP4 outputs, and I'm not sure if it's "normal" or something's wrong.
The .swf/html plays fine the first time through. However, if a user re-accesses and launches the file again, it plays the first slide, and then jumps to the end. We've checked our navigation and it seems to be fine (go to next slide). We removed the status flags, thinking there was some sort of cookie being set that identified this module as already been played by the user. The problem happens whether it's being served up from a web server or played on a local machine.
I'm taking a big hit on this. And I don't know where else to look.
I have to fix this..any suggestions?
Thanks heaps.

Hi there
My guess is that you need to click Project > Table of Contents. Then click Settings... and ensure the Self Paced Learning option is cleared.
If you find the option is already cleared, you might then investigate the Flash Player version.
Cheers... Rick
