Siri says "I'm not permitted to do that for you." When I ask her to call someone

When I ask Siri to call someone she says "I'm not permitted to do that for you." Hard reboot doesn't help and I can't locate any settings that might affect this. Any ideas?

If you have update to the NEW iOS6 and the FaceTime feature is switched "OFF" Siri will NOT make external calls and will say " I'm not permitted to do that" So all you have to do is switch the FaceTime feature "ON" and leave it like that for you to be able to give a voice command to it perform the task of making calls.
GoTo: Settings > General > Restrictions > Flip FaceTime to “ON/OFF

  • TS4079 i am not permitted to do that for you

    When trying to use Siri to voice dial a contact by name. Siri returns with this error "I am not permitted to do that for you"

    I had the exact same problem. After exhaustive experimentation I found a solution.
    Settings > General > Restrictions > Flip FaceTime on (it was off)
    When I flipped FaceTime back to off, it went back to not permitting calls. So I have to conclude that this was the issue. I guess Siri requires FaceTime now. 
    I hope this helps. 

  • Siri says "sorry I can't make a FaceTime call for you now" when I ask her to FaceTime someone. Why?

    Please help!

    3 things to try:
    1. Try switch Siri OFF then after a minute switch back on.
    2. Try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    3. Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • When I try to use siri to book an appointment the last step when she says "do you want me to shedule that for you" I say yes and then she says "Sorry I can't do that, very frustrating. Do I have to turn on another setting or something?

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

    Follow this instruction exactly to the last line.  It worked on mine.

     check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music (or media) folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. if permissions settings check out, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so 
     now try consolidating again.

  • TS4079 Siri used to ask me to say or do something upon activation, she now only speaks after I ask her to do something, how can I get her back?

    I've never had Siri ask me anything when I pressed the home button, only when I asked her to do something. Check your settings in Preferences>General>Siri>Voice Feedback. Make sure it's set to always. That may fix your issue.

  • Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!

    It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
    All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
    The photo app is saying restoring.
    What should i do?

  • Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

    I have Photoshop CS, purchased many years ago for a LOT of money.  Other day went to use it, got msg. "computer configuration changed, need to re-activate.  Tried that for days, didn't work.  Cannot call ANYONE to find out problem.  Am not very computer literate, so don't understand what that means.  LOVE the CS program and know how to use it, so don't want to have to learn something new.  Don't know what to do.  Went to all the big name stores and no one can tell me anything, like what happened to CS or what is replacing it that is the same as CS.  CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

    Yep. That's the one. Make sure to use the supplied key on the download page, not your old one.
    Good luck.

  • Siri says phone number not available for contact

    When I try to have Siri call my wife I am prompted that there is no phone number available for her.  How do I fix this problem?

    Hello,
    I believe I have found a way to fix the problem with Siri not finding a phone number for "Wife", "Mother", "Son", etc.  I went into MY contact information and deleted all related names and then saved my contact card with all the deletions made.  Then, I asked Sire to call, say, "Wife", which there is no way for Sire to know who my wife is without the information being on MY contact.  So, Sire ask, "Who is your wife?", you tell Sire and then Siri asks if you would like that to be noted and you reply "Yes!".
    After you make this first correction you ask Siri to call say, "Wife" again and Siri says, "Calling......" (wife's name).  I have not had any problems with Siri not being able to call a contact that was not related to me, so if this is a problem that some of you may be having I'm not sure how to fix that just yet.  I know of no way to fix a problem that has not occurred yet on my phone!
    Good luck to all and I hope that this has been helpful to a handful of iPhone users?

  • Hi transfered my i tunes liberary via a hard drive to my new laptop. It wont let me play anything I've bought from i tunes saying computer is not registered. i have registered it and when i go through the register process it says it is registered?

    Help. transfered my itunes liberary via a hard drive to a new lap top. wasnt easy, cant play any thing I bought on the old computer says this one not registered? The box that comes up has my VERY old email on it, I change this to my current one put in password and it says computer is registered. This then just goes around in circles! Any ideas?

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.
