Siri works great except to call one contact

Hello,
I am using Siri in Spanish, it works great in all applications except when I try to call my wife. I set the relationship and it detects when I say "Call my wife", but as soon as it starts looking for the contact it just says back : "I am sorry something is wrong, Can you try again?". The same happens if I try to call by her name instead of "wife", siri finds the contact but can't dial saying there is an error. Siri can call any other contact just fine except my wife. I don't think it's a problem detecting my wife because I can send iMessages and emails to her using Siri, just not phone calls. Now, if I swith to the English version of Siri, everything works fine and can call by wife or her name.
I tried resetting, rebootig, turning off-on Siri but nothing works... Does anyone have this problem?
Not sure if Siri is doing me a favor, but sometimes I do need to call my wife hahaha
Thanks!

HAHAHA Ok, remove your wife as a contact from your phone. Then re-add her, but dont establish the relationship that she's your wife. If her name is Maria, stick with saying "call Maria" It is a known Siri glitch with multiple languages.

Hello all, I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings Gene

Hello all,
I bought an iPhone 5 in the US and brought it back to Brasil. Now I'm trying to use Siri, but once I press the "home" button "voice control" appears and it only works for me to call my contacts. The manual guide tells me to go to Settings>General>Siri. At the General menu "Siri" doesn't appear. What should I do to set Siri up if it doesn't appear at settings>general?
Thank you,
Melanie.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Siri is set to On.

Very strange, try to turn off/on your iPhone. Or make a reset (home+power button)...
If it continues try to restore it.

Custom flv player works great except for Scrubber (F*)

Everything works great except when I click the loadbar,
instead of operating my scrubber script it just stops. Can anyone
see a problem with this code? Must be a typo somewhere but I can't
find it! Scrubber code at bottom.
//-------NETCONNTCTION SETUP--------------
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
//-------NETSTREAM SETUP--------------
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Start") {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoUpdate;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
delete progressBar.onEnterFrame;
ns.onMetaData = function(info) {
ns.duration = info.duration;
//-------ATTACHING NETSTREAM--------------
video.attachVideo(ns);
//-------PLAYING EXTERNAL FLV--------------
ns.play("curse.flv");
//-------REWIND BUTTON--------------
rewind.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
//-------PLAY PAUSE TOGGLE--------------
playPause.onRollOver = function() {
if(this._currentframe == 1) {
this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
else {
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
playPause.onRollOut = function() {
if(this._currentframe == 10) {
this.gotoAndStop("pause");
else {
this.gotoAndStop("play");
playPause.onRelease = function() {
if(this._currentframe == 10) {
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
ns.pause(true);
else {
this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
ns.pause(false);
//-------LOADBAR--------------
loadbar.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._xscale = (ns.bytesLoaded/ns.bytesTotal)*100;
if(this._xscale == 100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//-------VIDEO UPDATE--------------
function videoUpdate() {
progressBar._xscale = (ns.time/ns.duration)*100;
//-------VIDEO SCRUBBER--------------
loadbar.onPress = function() {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoScrub;
loadbar.onRelease = loadbar.onReleaseOutside = function() {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoUpdate;
function videoScrub() {
var dist:Number = (_root._xmouse-loadbar._x)/loadbar._width;
ns.seek(Math.floor(ns.duration*dist));
progressBar._xscale = (ns.time/ns.duration)*100;
}

Check the enclosed .AppleDouble folder and files. If that doesn't help, stop netatalk, delete the volumes CNID databases and restart.
Cheers!

My apple tv works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. have sound but no video.

My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

I just watched my first movie using Apple TV and Netflix. Apple TV works great except for then I try to switch back over to tv mode I get the cable channel info on the bottom of the screen but no sound or picture. What did I I do wrong?

I just watched my first movie using Apple TV and Netflix. Apple TV works great except for then I try to switch back over to tv mode I get the cable channel info on the bottom of the screen but no sound or picture. What did I I do wrong?

It was easy to set up, easy to use, got done watching the movie. Transferred from HDMI to TV and as my question above notes. I am on TV, my cable information (show/channel/etc) show OM the banner on the bottom of the screen, I can view the channell guide, but, my screen is white, no picture no sound? Other than that I got nothin

I just got an Airport Express and it works great except for XBox lag.

I am having intermittent lag packets with online games Xbox Live in particular. The Xbox is even on the ethernet port. Yes I have the Xbox set to a static outside the DHCP range and in the DMZ/Host port. So far I have also turned NAT-PMP off to see if that would help and changed channels on wireless to manual.Any other ideas?

If you are getting 20 Mbps measured at the Ethernert port of the Express, it should work great. Suspect a defective Express here.
Take it to an Apple Store....if you have one near you....or contact Apple Support directly at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

Imac - dvi to hdmi. It works great, but I have one problem with blue flicker on my imac

Yesterday I bought a dvi to hdmi connector from Apple store, and successfully connected my iMac (10.6.8) to an LG 50" monitor.
It works great with one problem. My imac flickers blue every 2 secs when TV is on but set to other inputs.
We use the TV for other things (TiVo, DVD) as they are HDMI1, HDMI2 and the iMac is HDMI3.
I tried several things, and each worked with Audio and Video. I currently have it setup as seperate screens instead of duplicating the screens, but each worked fine. And each had the same problem below.
The problem comes if I am on the iMac and then turn on the TV to watch something. As soon as I do, my iMac display starts flickering blue every 2-3 seconds as it is obviously talking to the LG TV. As soon as I set the TV to HDMI3 everything works. If I turn the TV off, everything works.
I don't want to have to connect the cable every time I want I want to project to the TV (although I guess I can live w/ that). Is there a way to have this setup correctly?
thanks for any help in advance.

As an update, after 2 weeks of tinkering with this setup, the iMac is usually able to settle down after about 20 seconds of flittering. And, if it does happen where the iMac stays blue screen, I can switch the TV to show the HDMI input from the computer, which works, and if I want, switch it back.
So, all in all, it works very well. I just needed some more patience.

Everything works great except Youtube favorites

My Apple TV works well except for getting to my Youtube favorites and subscriptions. I can log in to Youtube and I can navigate around in Youtube (to see 'Most popular' and 'Most viewed', etc.) but I cannot get my favorites or my subscriptions to come up. The message it displays is:
"No content found. Trouble communicating with Youtube, Try again later sucker"
I have searched the forums and found references to this same issue in the past but have never noted a resolution. Has anybody figured this out?
Thanks. Rob

works for me very good no problem, all i had to do is go to accounts and log off and remove my youtube account and added again, after that favorites works fine, now i can add to my youtube favorites right from apple tv, hope this will help you

My wife and I both upgraded our cell phones will att from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6. since then everything has worked great except for making phone calls to other cell phones. the phone acts like it connects and the call timer starts but there is no sou

unable make phone call with brand new iPhone 6

Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then try again.

Mountain Lion's Privacy Works Great - Carbon Copy Cloner Wants Contact List Access

Mountain Lion Woke Me Up - Carbon Copy Cloner Wants to access my Contact list
I got a message when I launched Carbon Copy Cloner that it wanted to access my contacts list
BYE BYE CCC - UNINSTALLED IT
i have lots of apps, and this one was the only one that broke my trust. How many more will there be.

Wow, fast answers!
William Kucharski has it right, though: It's asking in order to pre-fill registration fields. This is related to 3rd party application "sandboxing" in 10.8. You can see which apps are using your contacts in Sys Prefs > Security & Privacy > Privacy
If it makes you feel uncomfortable (and it will come up again and again from here on in in OS X), the thing to do is say "No" in the dialogue and continue using CCC and other apps.

When I am messaging someone else with an iPhone, iMessage is not working, it is working with others, just not one contact, my iMessage is switched on and so is the other persons?

How can I fix this?

I have checked everything. The contacts have not changed... nothing on my phone has changed. all of a sudden, on or about 12/17... none of us have been abel to send/receive iMessages.
again, 4 iphones, 200mi apart.. phone 1 can't send to 2/3/4, phone 2 can't send to 1/3/4, phone 3 can't send to 1/2/4, and phone 4 can't send to 1/2/3
i've even tried to iMessage a friend on the ATT network and nadda... and they can't iMessage anyone either...
Again, NOTHING has changed on anyone's phone since 12/16 (when they all worked fine).

My Ipod works great except it recently stopped playing music.

Every other button works fine and is as it was - except the songs won't actually play. Any ideas? Thank you!

Make sure your iPod is configured to sync these books from under its Book's configuration tab in iTunes. To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This should bring you to the Summary tab. Locate the Books tab along the top and click on it. Under this tab configure your iPod to sync your books however you like.
