Update silenced Siri. Now what?

The latest "upgrade" of the iPhone OS has silenced the Siri on my phone. From the looks of things (web wise) I'm not alone in this.
Siri was one of the main reasons I bought and used an iPhone for the past several years.
It doesn't look like this is going to be resolved any time soon. Any suggestions? (Other than "buy a Droid")

Nope. Did all that but still no Siri audio.
However, I should have read the article first because it basically says Apple's intentionally ramped up this "update" beyond the capacity for original 4s phones to handle.
Apparently they're not interested in serving the interests of existing customers. I'm frustrated and a little disgusted. But there is a silver lining in every cow pie.
Perhaps a $20 Motorola flip phone and a calendar that you write on is my answer.
Apple has become too involved in $$$ and not involved enough in remembering where their roots are. My phone shouldn't be old enough to 'have' to upgrade to a new handset @ $400+ a pop. I call BS.

  • HT4623 Trying to update my ipad 2 - went to Settings, General but I don't have a Software Update option.  Now what?

    Trying to update my ipad2 - went to Settings, General but I don't have a Software Download option.  Now what?

    Very old versions of the iOS prior to iOS 5 did not have the option to update over the air by using the Settings app. If your iOS is lower than 5.0 you need to update your iPad while connected to the computer you normally sync with.
    First thing to do is start iTunes on your computer and use the menu to check for updates. Your iTunes must be version 11.1 so it you have and earlier version of iTunes on your computer update iTunes to 11.1.
    Then start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your iPad in iTunes and select General or Summary in the right side panel. Do a backup of your iPad next.
    Once the backup is complete click on Check for updates.

  • Have Siri, now what can it do?

    Where can I find out how to optimize the use of Siri? I've just downloaded OS6 onto my iPad3.  Have had it write and send a simple email and schedule an appointment. Both after much trial and error. It's got to be easier than this

    Have you asked Siri "what can it do?"

  • Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up.  I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen.  What's wrong and how do I fix it?  Help!

    Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up.  I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen.  Tried it 10 times with the same result.  What's wrong and how do I fix it?  Help!

        Oh no Mr.Ected!
    I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

  • I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?

    I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. I did the update but it doesn't seem to be registering on my macbook pro. Now I can't open any of my documents as I keep getting this message. Now what???

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

  • Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I use a macbook pro..My iPhone 4s refuses to be recognised by itunes even after I downloaded to updated itunes...what now?

    I use a macbook pro..My iPhone 4s refuses to be recognised by itunes even after I downloaded the updated itunes...what now?

    Hi Oneness1,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    These troubleshooting steps can help if your iPhone 4S is not recognized by your MacBook Pro:
    Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
    Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
    If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
    If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
    Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
    From:
    iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection

    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
