Siri, Read New Msgs: "I'm really sorry about this, but..."

Help! Whenever I ask Siri (iPhone 5S) to read new messages it always replies with the "I'm really sorry about this but I cant take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while." message.  Network doesn't matter, happens on Wifi or LTE or 4G.  Siri on my iPad has no problem reading messages aloud. Have reset the device with no effect.  

Seems like we have another outage.  Down for me as well.  Hopefully, it won't last for days.
@Apple, you really do need to add Siri Status to the iCloud status page.  Would help a lot.

    Hi,
    I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
    I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

    Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
    Best of luck.

    please help me >>>>

    Thanks James, I just tried Siri again and it worked fine on two tests.
    Does this Problem happen often? I have had my Iphone5 for about two weeks and this is the first time I have
    had the problem. My 3gs used Siri to dial phone numbers or use the address book to dial and I never had a problem with it.
    Thanks for posting the system status page.

  • TS4079 Why does Siri say "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take any requests right now Please try again in a little while" ? Is she broke? How do I reset? Thanks

    Why does Siri say "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take any requests right now Please try again later"?
    I haven't had any trouble up to this morning. Is there a reset?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Siri: "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take requests for a little while." Huh?

    Of course she did continue: "Please try back in a little while."
    Please don't respond that it's BETA - I know it's Beta.  Sheesh!

  • I'm really sorry about this but i can't take any requests right now

    Siri continues to be spotty in respond to requests.  This has been happening on and off for more than a year with the most current OS on the iPhone 4S.  Currently the OS is 7.0.4
    I have tried rebooting the phone.  Turning off Siri and waiting for a period of time before enabling.  Nothing seems to change it's performance on the iPhone side.  It will just start working after it fails, but unpredictibly.
    Apple.com/support status currently has all services listed as 'green.'

    Yes, I've been throught the document and the settings.  The key thing to understand is that I've been using Siri since it first came out, with a lot of success, and for 10's of thousands of  miles of driving.
    That said, it's started working again tonight.  So, maybe the settings cleared and it will be happy from here on out.... we'll see.
    Thanks!

  • I have just deleted Macintosh HD. Now I have reset my computer and there is just a flashing glider with a question mark. I don't know what to do, I'm really worried about this so please May you get back to me as soon as possible?

    I have just deleted Macintosh HD. Now I have reset my computer and there is just a flashing folder with a question mark. I don't know what to do, I'm really worried about this so please May you get back to me as soon as possible?

    Why did you delete the hard drive?   If you delete the contents of the Macintosh HD you have no system to boot into.  That's what the flashing folder/? means.  What system were you using before deleting everyting.
    You're going to have to install a system on the HD before you can boot.

  • "Siri" reads new email subjects when on headset during phone call

    How do i turn this off? It happens when i'm on a call on my headset and its very troublesome.

    My sister and I are having the same problem you all are encountering. We have the new iPhone 4S 64GB and are with Rogers. We actually went to Apple store yesterday and got new phones, however we still have the problem. We don't know what to think, it would make sense that it is a hardware issue, however it seems to be a limited problem (in that there isn't a massive reporting on the issue, lots of message boards talking about it etc.). We wonder if it is carrier related, somehow... we just don't know.
    My sister restored her phone to factory settings and used it and still had the problem. We've tried restoring, resetting the network, nothing works (other than unplugging the hands-free set). It seems there was the same issue with the iPhone 4 when it came out. There are some older threads on this, but I don't know what the final resolution was to the problem. The postings on it seemed to stop, so maybe it cleared up? No idea.
    For samchr, the problem presents as the other person hearing an echo. So, if you are speaking with your wife and she hears the echo, then it is your phone, and vice versa. As my sister and I speak to each other on our new iPhones we've worked it out. Another way to check is to unplug the hands-free set and see if the problem goes away. Which ever one of you clears up the problem by unplugging the hands-free, that's the phone that is causing the issue.
    The problem is sporadic, it makes it harder to diagnose. I was out walking and had a fairly long phone conversation (12 minutes) with no issues. On the phone with my sister yesterday, it happened about 8-9 minutes into the phone call (I believe, I didn't check). Today I was speaking with my sister for just a short time, and the problem happened, but on her end this time.
    It's a real puzzle. If anyone finds out anything on this, PLEASE post the solution for us on this board!

  • When I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?

    Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back.
    Thank you so much.
    Celeste

    You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.

  • I have tried everything I've read about this but it hasn't worked. I have 5 outstanding app updates to do but when I go to the update screen it is blank. What is wrong?

    My ipad2 has 5 outstanding apps to update but my update screen is blank.  I've tried rebooting, changing dates, and all other things I've read on here but it's not working. What the heck now?

    Apparently, there is a problem with Apple’s servers. I have seen one article from another tech source that was talking about it but I have seen nothing official from Apple.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only.

  • I'm really sorry if this has already been addressed...iMovie problems

    Hello, I'm new to the forums. I have a problem, and I apologize if it has already been addressed.
    I have a Canon DC-40, which does not have firewire. I love iMovie, and would not even consider using a Windows based movie editor...:) Once I finish my mini DVD on my camcorder, I can burn it onto a DVD so that I can put it inside my iBook G4. The only problem is, if I try to import it, it will start to import than abrubptly stop importing.
    I have come to realize that I need to convert my files to .mov, but my files are in .vob. Is there some good programs out there that will help convert my DVD into a format that iMovie will accept?
    I have tried several things, converting the .vob into .wmv, (I can use windows applications on my mac) with no avail. It's frustrating, I just want to edit some movies! :P
    Any help or even a link to another topic covering this will be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

    Sorry, I just found a thread about my problem! I would delete the post but I can't figure it out yet!

  • I just got a new iPod nano, and I'm really excited about it, but I have a problem. A long time ago, I changed the email address on my account, and now all the songs from that account are gone. I don't know how to get them back. Can someone please help me?

    This is really frustrating, I've been trying to get my songs back for hours

    When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer?  Your iTunes library does not have an email address.  An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases.  Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
    If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID.  In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password).  That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
    On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS.  This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost. 
    NOTE:  If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID. 
    For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
    If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.
