Siri problems since upgrading to iOS 7

What is with Siri? Since upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, there are long periods during the day and evening where reponse is either deadingly slow, or where I get an error message back saying they cannot take requests now.
This never ever happened with iOS 6.
And I'm on a high-speed network.
Is it just me, or are there Siri problems in iOS 7, or is Apple just inundated with a lot of new Siri requests since the new iPhones were released and can't cope with the load?
It's become unreliable to use for dictation on the iPhone.
Thanks,
doug

Add me to the list, Doug.
Since updating to iOS 7, Siri takes way too long (easily 15 seconds+) before providing a response if it hasn't aborted with "cannot take requests". ****, even having it set a timer and resume my audiobook, both not requiring the internet, takes time.
Lastly, on a purely personal note, the new Siri voice drives me nuts. Its pitch is too fast making it sound mousy, hurried, amd un-natural.

Battery problems since upgrading to IOS 5.1.1

My battery which was workinng fine until the upgrade, discharges at an alarming rate since upgrading to IOS 5.1.1. I have to have a cord almost everywhere I go just to keep it with battery liife. I can lose at least 40% andd hour, I have a co-worker with the same problem. I have an Iphone 4 and she has an Iphone 4S. Please help me fix this ASAP.

I would like to downgrade also. Having to charge 3 times a day is just dumb. I purchased my 3G wifi iPad for a small fortune just 3 or 4 months ago and the older OS worked fine, charge once every other day. I guess I learned my lesson about being an early adopter with Apple products - upgraded to IOS 5 - bummer - got the "fix" - still a bummer.
I want to downgrade the os on my IPad .... Apple? Hello? Are you listening?

Iphone 4 icalender alert settings problems since upgrading to IOS 7.1.1

I have an iphone 4 and since updating to ios 7.1.1 my icalender alert settings automatically change from what i selected.ie I set my event alert as 1 day and second alert as 2 hours but it automatically gets reversed most of the time.

I'm having the same issue on my iphone 4S since upgrading to IOS 7.1.
At first I thought is was a carrier problem and I even changed my Sim card for a new one, but it didn't solve the problem.
Then I put my sim card in another phone and it worked just fine, so I tried:
Reset network settings,
Reset all settings,
Restore my phone with the previous backup,
Restore my phone as new
And any of these worked for me. After almost losing hope I turned off my 3g connection and the signal came back, even when I was using wi-fi. Also the battery life is a million times better.
So I called apple support and they told me that it seams to be a hardware malfunction and because my guarantee is expired I have to pay to get it changed for a new one.
I think they don't know what they are doing and don't know how to fix it so it's easier to blame the hardware and charge us for they mistakes.
I'm still waiting for some update to solve my problem because before the update 7.1 I had a perfect functional phone.

Ipad3 problems since upgrading to ios8n

Is anyone else experiencing these problems since upgrading to iOS 8?
- Need to touch screen several times for a nornal one touch action (note: Screen size/position changes a bit after each successive try.)
- keyboard response slow at times and at times freezes
- screen content/image has expanded slightly but enought to put some perimeter icons and controls outside/off the screen.
Are there fixes?
ios7 worked beautifully!!! Why won't Apple allow their currently loyal ( but frustrated) clients to revert back to ios7?

Hi Go to settings Restore back, to Factory, settings After Restore use same Apple ID & password, then you will get all your apps & data, back. This will get rid of any bugs. I do this every 2 months, or so on iPhone & iPad. Cheers Brian

HT201077 Since upgrading to IOS 7'photos taken on my iPhone are not transferring to the cloud. Sometimes a few will up load but then nothing for weeks. Anyone else had this problem

Since upgrading to IOS 7 the photographs I take on my iPhone 4S do not transfer to the cloud. Sometimes one or two of them transfer but then none for weeks. I have deleted photos from the cloud in case it is full but to no affect. I use my iPhone in conjunction with an iPad so this is driving me mad. Anyone else have this problem?

No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.

TS4268 Since upgrading to iOS 7.0, my friend can no longer text me. I get all other people's texts with no problem. I can text her, she can't text me. It bounces back to her phone as "message undeliverable". Does anyone know what to do about that?

Can't play manually added videos since upgrading to IOS 8

Since upgrading to IOS 8, my iPhone 5 won't play any videos that I copy to the device manually through iTunes.
These are videos that I've played on the iPhone before, so I know they are compatible and of the correct format.
Basically what is happening is that I can copy them across and they show as being on the device, yet when I eject the iPhone and open the Videos app, the video player immediately presents the message 'Cannot play video make sure you are connected to a wi-fi network'
When I reconnect the iPhone to iTunes, the videos still show as being on the device, but they all have a small exclamation mark next to them.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour?
EDIT: I have just discovered that if I add the videos to my iTunes library first, then sync them to the iPhone, they play normally. However, I do not want to have to keep adding any video I want to play into iTunes first, I'd rather just copy them straight off my external HDD as I used too before.

I have this problem too, but even adding first the video to iTunes isn't working. The videos I'm trying to add to my iPad are in my iTunes library and were in my iPad before the iOS8 upgrade (and played normally), but since the upgrade, none of them work. When transferred to the iPad in the video app show no content, and viewing the iPad content from iTunes just shows the video title in gray with the exclamation mark.
Waiting for help too.

Since upgrading to iOS 5 I can no longer add/edit email accounts

Hello All,
I am completly stumped here, Since Upgrading to iOS 5 on my ipad 2 I can no longer access the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" tab in settings, meaning I can't add my other mail accounts or change settings, and I'm needing to sort this now.
Basically Going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars results in crash to home, I've rebooted, hard reset and returned to factory settings, non of it seems to remedy it, does anyone know of this bug? or does anyone know a work around etc?, I've had a look around altho there are many Mail issues non seem to directly relate to my issue.
Kind Regards
Fish.

I recommend taking it into the store. Sounds to me like you have downloaded an app that has allowed itself to become the "primary" when sending and recieving images.... Apple is seriously dropping the ball!! Just the other day, I downloaded an app called v-downloader... Its an app that allows you to download videos through a 3rd party browser. Well what it did, was automatically place restrictions on my phone... I couldnt send pics, and it removed access to safari, facetime, messages, etc... so maybe try removing any recent app purchases. Also, I would reccomend that you restore your phone. it will redo the update off your computer and come through with less glitches
But I agree, iOS6 has been nothing but problems... I plan on removing the update when I get home

TS3999 Since upgrading to IOS 7, my calendar no longer syncs with Outlook Express 2010 on my PC. I believe we have iCloud 3.0 on our PC. I have tried all of the recommended remedies but the calendar from my iPad and iPhone has totally disappeared from Out

Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading their iPhone and iPad to iOS 7?

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

Hi, since upgrading to IOS 8.0.2 my iphone 5 no longer connects with the entertainment system in my car? Any ideas?

So yesterday vibration suddenly started working again, after nearly two weeks with the problem above. I have no idea why, I didn't change any settings and the only app that was updated yesterday was Facebook messenger...

Since upgrading to iOS 6, none of the sounds are working. I checked to make sure the volume is turned up and that sound is on. But nothing, except the phone ring works when I get a call n

Since upgrading to iOS 6, sound is not working on my iPhone 4S. The phone ring works but nothing else, including Siri.

My wife's phone had similar symptoms, at least with the text notification alert not working. I have narrowed it down to happening after we use the new navigation feature in the Maps. When we power the phone off and back on, the alert sound seems to return. I haven't tried just "killing" the Maps app after we use it...perhaps that would work as well.

Having trouble downloading contacts to phonebook on sync system in my car since upgrading to IOS 6.0

Since upgrading to IOS 6.0 I'm having problem downloading my contacts from my iphone to the phonebook on my Ford Sync system. I can make and receive calls but the phonebook is empty even though the system tells me it has downloaded phonebook.

A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
How to move your data to a new Identity
BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.
