SIRI Not like it was advertised
Seems like this program is the same as any other voice command software that I have ever seen. Is anyone else having trouble with it. I have to keep repeating myself and it does not seem to be able to do anything that it is supposed to. Nothing like it is portrayed to be on the videos Apple put out before the launch. The people seem to be able to casualy converse with the program. I dont find any of this to be reality. Pretty lame so far, waste of time. Im just saying.
Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I've just done the BT speedtest with results below:
Bt speedtest result:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 4.23 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 12 Mbps-0 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 4.54 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 4.28Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 10 Mbps
Yes it's 4.5 mega bits per second we've been getting on average and we originally had about 8mbps (mega bits per second)
Our desktop connection (which I use for these speed tests) is wired.
We're using the Home Hub 3.
we're quoted 21mbps but we've never had that and didn't expect that.

Infinity speed not like it was - halved
Hi, when I had Infinity installed, probably over 6 months ago now, I was delighted with speeds of 8mb or above. Not a lot, but it was enough to stream movies on our TV, so ideal for us. (It's not true cable to our house, but it's cable half way (or something))
However, since then I began to notice BBC iPlayer began to buffer more and more often, until it was virtually useless and then we were unable to stream movies at all; unable to get past the first few minutes without it buffering and continuing to buffer. This was nothing like the service we'd had originally and we'd paid for streaming rental movies but had been unable to watch them.
Our speed check went down to 4.5mb on average. I expected it to go back up again at some point but it never has and now I feel something should be done. From an average 8mb down to an average 4.5mb really isn't great. I may as well not have Inifinity at all.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.
Pip.

I made an in-app. purchase using an advertisment banner but did not receive what was advertised, I would not have made the purchase otherwise and did not receive what was advertised. My question is, am I entitled to a refund..and if so how do I go about it? I DO wish to purchase according to the banner displayed but feel I should be refunded so I can purchase again so I get the advertised items. My purchase cost $51.99 so I am more than annoyed that I did not get what was advertised and will not purchase again if my money has been wasted with no recourse.
Contact iTunes Support. http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/. Under these circumstances, you will probably get a refund. Report that app as well, and/or write a negative review in the App Store if you feel like it.

I had the Siri app before it was added to all iphones and when Apple added it mine quit working. I deleted mine from my phone but do not see how to get it back. any suggestions?

It does seem rather odd that an app that was acquired thru itunes would quit working once it was incorporated into the device for all users. oh well it was probably free or $.99 when I downloaded it.
I would think that they were just testing it to see how many people would use it. But you might want to write a polite letter to Apple requesting a credit for the purchase price of the no longer supported app. That seems to be the least they could for one of their 'alpha testers'. -
With everything i want to delete the iMac wants my password, before it was not like that, i'm getting crazy of it.. Even with pics he's asking for my password..
How can i solve the problem and delete stuff without filling in my password every time..
Already thnx for your support and help..Normally, that's caused because of a permissions problem. Have a look at this site > http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html#Anchor-Files-46919

There is a new app with an ugly orange T named Tips on my phone now. How do I get it off my phone. It is an Apple App not a purchased app and looks like a Tennessee advertisement.
It is part of iOS 8, and cannot be removed. You can move the app to another page, or hide it in a folder. You can turn off the notifications for the App in the notifications center control pane.

I need to go very very near to my wireless modem to find my network and if i go a little far i can not connect but before it was not like that?!what is the problem?!
Hey Babakgh,
I understand that you've experienced recent issues with your Wi-Fi network where you can only connect to it if you're close to the router. I would start off troubleshooting your Wi-Fi network by following the steps in here:

Was installing new ios 7 and it asked for acct and password. it did not like and said it would email a new password. no email received. can not figure the Apple support screens to find a phone number to call. help.
No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

Both my wife and I have iPhone 5 and we use Siri a lot. Ever since we upgraded to IOS 7 we found that frequently we get a reply from Siri something like "This is embarrassing but I cannot handle a request right now". Prior to IOS 7 this did not happen.
tonefox is probably right. Server overload. I also notice that when siri does respond correctly, it is slower. My wife has a 4s and same story, and she has not upgraded to IOS 7.
So it's not just you (if that makes you feel any better). -
iphone 4s with ios 8.1.1, imessage gets slower than ever, sometimes even deliver after 10 min, was not like this with the previous ios, how can I improve imessage sending time?
Hi there skmonirul,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
From what I gather, iMessages are taking longer than expected to send on your iPhone 4s. If you aren’t seeing issues with other apps, try restarting your iPhone as shown here:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If the issue persists, try restoring your iPhone as shown in the article below.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
So long,

I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help! I leave the unchecked songs in there b/c there will come a point in time where I want to listen to these songs but right now I don't.
yes, 10.3.1, iTunes already restarted, menu settings already like that and still it will play all unchecked songs (including the checked songs of course). Why even have check and unchecked if the program is going to play all of them anyway?!
thanks for responding though... -
I want to go back to Version 4.3, I do not like the new version of Pages. this has messed up my whole day!
You should have the old Pages 4.3 in the application folder > iWork.
If you have saved the document (I hope you didn't) you can Export to Pages 09 in the File menu. Hopefully you didn't loose to much. -

I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
many times and cannot connect to my local DB.
How do I connect to my Local DB?
Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated.
Some of the things I have tried:
From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR
net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

SQL Server did not respond to the client request because the server is probably not started.

Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.It sounds like there are a couple things going on here. First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance. Once you find this, make sure the service is started.
If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error. If you get an error, post the error message your hitting. If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect. If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
name in the connection dialog. Ex: "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name. However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format. Ex: COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
is the instance name you set during install).
You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install. Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.
