Siri says she cannot answer questions right now?

When I try to use Siri AT ALL she says: "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while." and if you ask her "why?" she says: " There's something wrong and I can't answer your questions right now. Please try again in a little while."
I JUST GOT THIS PHONE TWO DAYS AGO and its already giving me trouble! Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it!? The whole point of the 4s is to have Siri and she's refusing to answer my questions! It started last night and still wasn't working this morning so I did "try again in a little while"
Help!

Since--
"Siri uses the processing power of the dual-core A5 chip in iPhone 4S, and it uses 3G and Wi-Fi networks to communicate rapidly with Apple’s data centers." (http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri-faq.html)
- I would imagine that if millions of people try to use Siri at the same time as it happened at launch of imatch-- "Due to overwhelming demand, iTunes Match is not accepting new subscriptions at this time. Please check back in an hour."(http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apple_launches_itunes_match.php)
- we might expect some kind of overload due to overwhelming demand of Siri as well?
Nonetheless, i had same issue this morning, 8AM eastern time, but fixed it righaway by resetting my phone with Sleep/Wake button and the Home button.

Yes... a search of the forums would have prevented asking that question.

Siri says she can't read my email from the iphone5s lock screen when I'm using the standard headphones, but I could do that on 4s. How can I get my 5s to do that?

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

Exchange 2013 in Mac Environment - iPhones recieves email, Mac Outlook does not, OWA Error: Your request cannot be completed right now. Please try again later.

We are having some problems in Exchange when customers send us emails with large attachments. It doesn't happen all the time which is weird.
The emails show up fine on iPhones although it is very slow to show the whole email and attachment.
In OWA it gives an error - Error: Your request cannot be completed right now. Please try again later.
The emails never make it to our computer email program, Mac Outlook 2011

Hi,
What’s your Exchange 2013 version?
According to your description, I understand that the message which is sent from external customers with large attachments can’t be opened in OWA and Outlook for Mac for Exchange users. Is it rights?
If that is the case, please confirm if the issue only happens with the large attachment messages. Please confirm if the message with no attachment sent from the same customer can be received and shown correctly in OWA.
Please recycle the application pools in IIS Manager to have a try. If it doesn’t work, please change the OWA to use Conversation view then check whether the issue persists.

Siri is saying it is experiecing problems right now, only with me?

I am trying right now but she says she is with problems and ask me to come back later

Siri has been very tempermental the past month. Don't forget it's a beta service, so Apple is probably continually treaking it.

TS4079 All I get from Siri is "Sorry, I cannot take requests right now. Please try again later." I've done all the resetting of the phone and Siri. What's wrong?

Any answers about Siri not working that doesn't have to do with resetting?

Whenever Siri says that to me I have one of the following situations,
- there is an Internet connection but it is heavily congested and therefore poor
- I am trying to use Siri at a popular time and it Siri or the network is simply overloaded. If this is the case, trying again in about 10 seconds normally works okay.
I hope that this is of some help.

Why does Siri say she can't take any request and I have to reset my phone so she can work ?

Happens quite often Siri says I am very sorry about this but icant take any request right now please try again and she loads for a 3 minute and the says this I have to reset the phone settings to get it to work but it is getting annoying
I tries turning Siri on and off and also resetting wifi renewing lease etc.

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.

Siri can't take any request right now

I have an Iphone 4s and upgraded to 7.0.4. When i request Siri, she still answer me
"I am really sorry about this, but i can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
Its been 4 hours, and still the same message. This is my firts time using it.
Any Suggestions ?

Do you have a good Internet connection? Siri requires the Internet to work fully.
EDIT: Also, it depends on where you are located. Siri does not work everywhere. See this support document and see if Siri works where you are located. http://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/

Siri can't take any requests right now

Both my dad and I have an iPhone 4S and both Siri and the keyboard dictation are not working for either of us. Siri says I'm really sorry but I can't take any requests right now. Is anyone else experiencing this?

You are not alone! mine has 5.1.1 still Siri is not working well.

Siri says she can't create reminders for me

siri responds to my reminder asks me to confirm and then when she trys to create the reminder she says she can't create the reminder

As far as troubleshooting goes, this is the only article that's avaliable on siri http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
Remember, Siri is still in beta testing and will only improve over time. I would try to turn siri off and then back on, and then turn your device off and then back on. See if that helps

HT4623 My iphone iphone will not activate, message given is "Iphone activation cannot be completed right now, please try again later"

My iphone will not complete the activation after i upgraded the software, Keeps saying activation cannot be completed because server cannot be reached, please try again later. Help!!

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

When using bluetooth, siri says she can't make a call.

Hello there, Baxter530.
The following Knowledge Base article provides pretty extensive steps to troubleshoot Bluetooth on your iPhone:

Why does Siri say she's busy?

Any one else have trouble getting SIri to respond to a request?

She found a new friend she likes better than you?

Why won't iOS7 verify the update? It's downloaded, but it won't verify the update. All it says is it can't right now.

So it look like five hours to download and now I'm at the end, or so I thought, and it says it can't verify the update. This is extremely irritating. What can I do to get my bloody update and go to bed? Thanks.

What iOS in on your iPod?
Have you tried syncing it to your iPod?

Siri says she cannot answer questions right now?
