Using siri w/ a bluetooth car and itunes .. ??

Issues with siri while listening to music ... please read
I have a minicooper that has bluetooth. When I use siri, it activates the bluetooth and I speak through the car.
But, when I listen to itunes, I use a mp3 cable to attach.
When I try and use siri WHILE listening to music, the blue tooth does NOT go on, and because the cable is in, I can't hear her ...
Anyone else experiencing anything like this???

You need a Bluetooth dongle or built in Bluetooth. I couldn't get it to connect through a USB cable.
Call T-Mobile and subscribe to their additional $20/month internet plan.
Wait a couple of days for T-Mobile to turn on the internet on your phone.
Download and install the "Motorola 3G CID1" modem script so Mac OS-X will recognize the phone as a modem.
Make the phone discoverable to other Bluetooth devices.
Setup the Bluetooth device with Bluetooth Setup Assistant.
Setup a new modem in Network preferences.
Show the new modem, and under the PPP tab set it to dial telephone number: "internet2.voicestream.com"
Under Bluetooth Modem select modem: "Motorola 3G CID1"
I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Write back if you have problems and maybe I'll remember more. You can call T-Mobile and ask for their Mac technical person. I shut off T-Mobile's internet service because it wasn't worth the extra $20/month to me. It's faster than a dialup modem when used as a modem to allow a computer to access the internet. The W490 phone used by itself to access the internet is unbelievably, mind numbingly slooow. (pulling hair) I'll probably have T-Mobile turn the internet back on when I go visit my mom, who doesn't have any internet connection at all. I'll shut it off as soon as I get back though. It'll make a nice way to get e-mail without driving down to a cafe with wireless. If you travel a lot this might be an affordable way to get your e-mail. It's much more affordable than a dedicated 3G modem, but it's also much slower.

HT204389 can i use siri with my bluetooth?

Can I use Siri with my bluetooth, such as telling it to answer an incoming call or to dial someone? what about asking Siri to find the nearest gas station type of question?

Then I must be doing something wrong! I have a plantronics bt; when i have a call coming in, i hear 'do you want to answer or ignore?' I answer by just speaking and it does not hear me. I have tried it in my car and in my home, as well as when i am walking the dog.
any suggestions??

Wanted to use Icloud to back up pictures and Itunes - it is running os 10.6.4. I have an original IPAD, nothing syncs without connecting. Do I need to purchase operating system updates? Wasn't sure what 10.6 Leopard is?

Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6, is not iCloud compatible. You need to upgrade to Lion, Mac OS X 10.7, via a download from the app store...$29 (US), provided you had at least 10.6.6. You can upgrade to 10.6.8 for free as part of the software updated function, then go to the app store and purchase the Lion download.
When you do that, before installing Lion, make a copy of the Lion Installer from the Applications folder where it downloads to some other location, such as your Documents folder, so you have a backup copy.
For Lion you must have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7, or Xenon processor, 2 GB memory though 4 GB is better and 7 GB free space on the hard drive.
As part of 10.7.2 you end up with the iCloud connection.

Did you reset your iPad like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

Bluetooth speaker and iTunes

Hi,
I have a Bose Bluetooth speaker on my Mac Mini which I run a 24/7 radio station. I noticed that when I turn off the speaker, iTunes stops playing music. While this would be nornal for anyone else, is there a way for iTunes NOT to go off when I turn the speaker OFF.
Thanks,
Dan Uff

I have same issue once I loaded Yosemite. The worst part is that The Apple store sells the Bose Mini..... I love my Bose Mini and I fear I will never be able to use it again.
Apple Product Manager should be fired for this travesty. The quality control around this product launch is suspect....Blue Tooth is one of the major tools most people are using these days....get with the program Apple!!!!!

I need help changing the account number my daughter uses for payment for her apps and itunes, etc. can anyone talk me through this.

hi ,
im just a mom, not very computer savy.....however, I need to change the payment method my daughter uses to purchase things on her ipad due to the fact that the current one is expiring. ie: for such things like songs and games, etc.
I would appreciate any help as how to do so.
THanks

On a computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option (if you are not logged into the account that your daughter is using then Store > Sign menu option to log out of the currently logged in account ; that will then change to a Store > Sign In option so that you can log into her account) and log into the account (enter the account's password and click View Account on the popup)
And on the account's details page there should be a payment link.
If you are doing it on your iPad then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (if not logged into her account then log out of your account via the popup that you get and then log in with her account) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into the account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

How do I use 1 Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes Purchases?

Hey Guys and Gals,
I would like to use 1 Apple ID instead of 2. I know that Apple ID's cannot be merged.
My original solution was to change my Apple ID, which is a Yahoo address to an iCloud address. However, you cannot do this since it is an Apple domain. So what I have done is put all I could on the Yahoo one. The only thing is I still need iCloud to do Notes.
Why does Apple appear to use 1 username to setup your whole Mac or iOS device, but then you are required to have always two to get all functionality. Of course there is nothing saying you need to, but I don't see a way around this.

This came up when I tried to enable Notes. This may be the solution to my problem. icloud / me won't work when you change from @yahoo to one of those domains. Specifically it tells you no to use a Apple owned domain so I don't know.

I want to backup my ipad without using my desktop and itunes?

Hi,
I want to backup everything on my ipad, including apps, notes, calendar, contacts, books, magazines, safari bookmarks, safari bookmark folders, music, playlists, photos, etc....BUT i do not want to use a desktop or a laptop and itunes. That is archaic, and I refuse to be a dinosaur anymore!
I want a one button press operation, straight from my ipad screen to the cloud over my wifi. So i can back this thing up once a month and forget about it.
What is the one-button press solution for this?
If you have an answer, don't be shy...send me an email after posting it here...

I refuse to be a dinosaur anymore!
Dinosaur, shrew, or cave man - doesn't matter. You want to back up your iPad, right now you sync it. Don't like it? Live dangerously or learn how to use eBay.

Buzz / Hiss sound when using apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse w/heaphones

When I use the apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard and mouse with my 1.42Ghz G4 Mac mini, there is a constant buzzing or hissing noise. When I turn the keyboard and mouse off, it stops. I've updated the firmware on my mac mini, but I couldn't update the firmware on my keyboard and mouse:

(thanks, apple)
Is there a way to fix this noise? Would updating the firmware solve this? Has anyone else experienced it? It's driving me crazy!
Thanks!

would you have another computer available that has 10.3 on it? it would probably help. pmu reset may also help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574. good luck. [ : ) ]

After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri?

After backing up my phone to the new iphone 4S, voice control comes on every time I try to use siri? I have to newest itunes so what should I do? I completley can not use Siri

Some advice from various locations on the web (use google). Each works for some users, not all. Give these a try.
Try to deauthorize the computer then authorize it.
select song or app. that's not authorized, itunes will ask for your password, enter password, click ok, and ok again. Done.
I had the same problem when I switched from my laptop to a macbook. What I figured out was that I had purchased applications under two different email addresses. You can click on one of the applications that is not syncing and go to "File" then "Get Info" to find out what email address you used to purchase those applications. Hopefully this helps.
Sometimes a reboot of either the computer or the iPhone or both fixes this, if you’ve authorized already.

IPhone 5 and iTunes

I just bought a iPhone 5 and it's not working with my iTunes. I'm using a MacBook and my iTunes is 10.6.3 and my computer is 10.5.8. How do I upgrade and make my iPhone work?

If you want to sync it, yes. The other option is to use a combination of these instructions and iTunes Match to put content on the device straight from the iTunes Store, but iTunes Match costs more than the DVD.

I can not move my apps around like I use to. Even when connected to ITunes.

Since using the new IOS 7.02 and ITunes I can not move one app from one home page to another. Even when hooked up to the PC.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then I've also seen suggested going into Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-trying

IPhone 4s sound muffled after using Siri?

Hello everyone. I am new to the Apple discussions page, but need some help. My iPhone 4s' is having a really weird problem. I use Siri, then lock the device and the lock sound is muffled and distorted. I tried restoring it multiple times, and that didn't work. I looked for this problem, and no one seems to know what I'm talking about. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated, and also my iPhone warranty is good until February, 2013. Thanks everybody, and have a great day.

I have just used siri on my 4s for the first time after downloading ios7 and I'm now experiencing the same issue! As I was speaking siri began to sound muffled so I stopped using it and played some music and my music (which was playing well prior to using siri) sounded muffled too. Did you ever resolve this issue?
