The iPad 2 has the same exact hardware as the iPhone 4S. So why doesn't it get Siri with the new update?

Well i'm just generally curious and a bit upset that ipad 2 will not be getting Siri after updating to iOS 6. I though it was because the new ipad was faster and ipad wasn't capable enough but later i found out that iPhone 4S will get the new Siri when it has the same chip A5 plus the ipad 2 's cpu is 1GHz whil the iphone 4S 's is 800MHz. I'm honestly not complaining. Apple never said at the time i bought my ipad 2 that it would get Siri, but i am curious...someone please answer.

Actually, it is not the same hardware. The A5 chips are different. The iPad 2's doesn't include a noise canceling function that the newer iPhones and the New iPad do.

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • One song on my iPhone only plays the background music on the build-in iPhone speakers. The song has been on my phone for a while and it used to play just fine. With the headphones on it plays normally.

    Please help! (I'm actually doing this for a friend but still)
    All you need to know:
    - iPhone 4 16GB
    - iOS 6.0.3 (I think, not the latest iOS but the one before that)
    - Song which started to act strange: niggas in Paris
    - All songs work fine on headphones (including above)
    - The song has been on the iPhone for a couple of months and used to play without any trouble
    - When you play it on the iPhone's speakers you either only hear the background music, no sound at all (for a few seconds) or a weird old FM-radio noise
    - Plays fine on iTunes
    All help is appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I have this issue too.  Same specs, newest OS.  Happening on "O.N.E." by Yeasayer, but doesn't play the vocals through the speaker or headphone jack, unlike your issue.  I just get all but the vocal track no matter what.  Plays fine in iTunes.  If you never get that distortion through the speaker any other time, maybe you can delete the song. 
    In my case, I can't delete the song through the phone since I use iTunes Match, but if you actually sync the songs/download them, that would be my first suggestion (swipe across, hit "delete.").  Maybe that would work?  Then resyncing or redownloading. 
    If not, maybe resetting or restoring may be the fix. 

  • Why iPhoto 9.4 get crash with the latest OSX 10.8.2 ?can you help

    can't understand why this happen as soon as i updeate my iphoto to 9.4 the program screen start to run from one desktop to other !!!! can't even rename the faces and the program start to do the same ... is this problem due to the prgrams of to other reson?

    It's the application that is damaged......not your library at this point.  You need to un-install and re-install iPhoto.  If you downloaded iPhoto from the app's store, then do the following:
    NOTE - you need to know your Apple ID and your password for this to work
    - Go to the applications folder, and drag iPhoto to the trash
    - launch the app's store, and in the top menu, go to "Purchases".  Here you will be able to re-download iPhoto.  All you need to do, is enter in the Apple ID and password you used to originally download it, and it will not charge you

    What generation MacBook Air? You might start here:

    Apple will fix it. No pricing without making an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. Usually an Authorized Apple Repair Store can do it with a faster turn around time and less expensive pricing.

  • Why doesn't my artwork go with the songs when I transfer them?

    If I make a playlist from songs on my PC and these all have artwork then transfere said playlist to my phone the artwork doesn't follow.
    Is there any good reason for this?
    Thanks
    Edward.

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Why did my iPad2 get Siri on the first update of ios6. But my friends iPad2's did not get siri?

    Does anyone know why my ipad2 got siri? I heard they weren't supposed to.

    iPad 2 cannot have siir. If you are usre its an iPad 2 then its either jailbroken or its a differnet App that can wpork like Siri.
    If nopt you likely have an iPad 3. They are identical in terms of looks so its easy to get confused.
    But yes the iPad 2 cannot support Siri in any way.

  • My iPad has recently been kicking me out of my apps quite frequently.  Is there a problem with the iPad 1 that doesn't support the apps?

    I have an iPad 1 & have been playing games on it for about a year and a half...recently I am having trouble with getting kicked out of various apps & it happens quite frequently.  Is this something that could be related to the iPad1 since we are now up to an iPad 3?  Are the apps having troubles because of the generation, or is it the app itself.....I just want it fixed & don't have any reason nor inclination to upgrade to a 3 right now.  Anyone experiencing something similar?  What do I do?

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

  • My ipad is frozen with an error window stating that the ipad has not been backed up to iCloud for 2 weeks...cannot get system to unlock?

    My iPad is frozen with an info window stating that the iPad has not been backed up to iCloud in 2 weeks (which is wrong).  The info window has an OK button, but clicking on it does nothing...cannot power off the iPad either...and the voice prompt has been useless...just keeps wnating to search the web.

    Thanx for the solution !!! I got the same message today and was so upset!! But ur post helped and made me smile .

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.
