Siri will not tell me the time, and another issues

I tried to ask siri a number of questions since I received my iphone 5 on Saturday
"what time is it"
"call <contact name>"
"what music is playing"
all have given me similar variations on "i'm having trouble can you please try again"
I switched from my iphone 4 and I was able to do these very basic tasks.
Does apple have any feedback on when they are going to fix this issue with Siri not able to respond to basic tasks?

i'm in america and its not working for american english. I think they are having trouble routing united states english but not the other english variations.

I'm installing 10.7 and it will not finish. The time goes into negative minutes.

I'm installing 10.7 and it will not finish. The time goes into negative minutes. It is on a 2 year old 13.3 Macbook Pro. Had hopes of wiping the hard drive durring the install. Any ideas?

Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

Siri can't tell me the time.

When I ask Siri "What time is it", it replies, "Sorry [me], I don't know the time in 105 - 201 5 Ave W."
I don't understand why it can't simply look at the clock on the phone and tell me the time. As if this isn't frustrating enough, I can't even get a simple "Where is the nearest Starbucks" to work.... as it says Location in Canada are not supported.
If Siri simply uses apps on the device, why can't it use the "Maps" app, where I can type "Starbucks" and get the nearest one to me in a very short amount of time. This is very frustrating.
Is there anything that can be done to [at minimum] get Siri to tell me the time?

I have found this too, & yes, it is frustrating..
however, if you turn location services off for Siri, it can tell you the time & date, no problem.
I'm sure this is a bug & will be sorted as I have seen other mentions of it.
Also, this is still in 'Beta', i.e. not quite finished yet.
Apple have said that location based queries will come to places outside of the U.S. in time...

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

My ipad will not come on, the timer in the middle of the screen is running but does not come on.

My ipad2 will not start. The timer is spinning in the middle of the screen but nothing happens. What should I do?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

A 305- S6825 will not start with the battery and charger. There's no light, no noise on fan or HDD

PC will not start with the battery and charger. There's no light, no noise on fan, hard drive and CD writer. The hard drive, fan and charger are new.

Now it does nothing and no light. I hope it can help me I need torespect and love very much this notebook.
Thanks in advance

Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections. If it still won't start, remove the battery and start with just the AC power. Next try without the AC power and just the battery.

My iMac will not boot past the logo and spinning gear

My iMac will not boot past the logo and spinning gear (After a Rogue Amoeba update). I can't access the recovery disk I made on a flash drive. (Am I doing it correctly? - Hold down option while switching on? It just stays on the logo). What (if anything) can I do please?

If you installed Lion onto your machine, it should have created a Recovery HD (hidden from view, but visible in Disk Utility with its Debug menu enabled, under Show all Partitions).
That article states:
Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.
Would I see the recovery menu (by holding down option on power up)
Yes.
if there was no recovery disc connected do you think?
Shouldn't matter, since your int HD is always connected.

Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Budget error is not coming at the time of goods issue

Dear all,
I am using warehouse funds center concept. While creating Purchase requisition and Purchase order i am getting budget exceeded error. but while goods issue i am not getting any budget exceeded error even budget is not available for the respected fund center and commitment item.
Please let me know how to get the budget exceeded error at the time of goods issue.
Thanks in advance.

It seems as per your business requirement the budgets are checked up to inventory level only.
That is to elobarate,
Suppose you have a fund center X for which the budget is let's say 100,000/- LC.
The system is configured to check the procurements VIA PR>PO>MIGO-->MIRO only.
As you have checked budgets at above stages it is not necessary to check at Goods issue to consumption as this will create unnecessary process spokes.
check for the Inventory GL account and consumptions for any "Dummy" or "Not Budget related commitments are assigned" or in teh derivation strategies.
If the business needs you to check the budgets, you need to have the Fund centers for consumption of funds and as well as budget amounts for the same combinations.
The cycle of Procure to Receive ends at MIGO and the Material what you got is against Inventory which is a balance sheet Items which usually not related to budgets.
When you want to check budgets on consumption, as far as my opinion is concerned at the PO time it self use Account assignemnt "K". But I feel it is only suggested when you don't have a requirement of Inventory keeping.

When I try to open Firefox, it says it is running in the Task manager, but will not open until the memory has reached about 100,000k. Also, it keeps NOT responding all the time, and freezes up.

I have done everything on the support page. I am running Windows Vista, and I am running Firefox 4.01. I have even tried running in safe mode. I have updated my plugins, and then disabled plugins and extensions.

Hello Pohaku66, any luck if you [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding#w_remove-the-profile-lock-file remove the profile lock file] ?
thank you

My apple mouse is not working. I can get it to connect but it will not move the pointer. Left and right click is working, scrolling, just cannot move the pointer. Also, I have replaced the batteries (numerous times) but the green power light turns off after a few minutes. Any suggestions?

How about clean up LED hole of mouse?
