When using bluetooth, siri says she can't make a call.

  • Siri says she can't read my email from the iphone5s lock screen when I'm using the standard headphones, but I could do that on 4s. How can I get my 5s to do that?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

  • Siri says she can't create reminders for me

    siri responds to my reminder asks me to confirm and then when she trys to create the reminder she says she can't create the reminder

    As far as troubleshooting goes, this is the only article that's avaliable on siri http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
    Remember, Siri is still in beta testing and will only improve over time. I would try to turn siri off and then back on, and then turn your device off and then back on. See if that helps

  • Why does Siri say she can't take any request and I have to reset my phone so she can work ?

    Happens quite often Siri says I am very sorry about this but icant take any request right now please try again and she loads for a 3 minute and the says this I have to reset the phone settings to get it to work but it is getting annoying
    I tries turning Siri on and off and also resetting wifi renewing lease etc.

    Thanks James, I just tried Siri again and it worked fine on two tests.
    Does this Problem happen often? I have had my Iphone5 for about two weeks and this is the first time I have
    had the problem. My 3gs used Siri to dial phone numbers or use the address book to dial and I never had a problem with it.
    Thanks for posting the system status page.

  • Forget "No Service" - phone says I can only make emergency calls

    I think i've had it with this Iphone. I'm on my 2nd refurbished phone since February 2010 (since they wouldn't replace my 1st phone after it kept showing No Service) and I'm sick and tired of all these problems. At first I was having a problem with No Service coming on my phone even though i'm in an area with tons of cell towers so I replaced my SIM card and got a refurbished "new" phone to see if that solved the problem. Then I still had that problem but then I was getting on my screen what looked like a cord connecting to ITunes saying that I can only make SOS/Emergency calls. What I had to do was shut the phone off and turn it back on - which itself isn't THAT big of a deal but more of an annoyance b/c I had no idea how long it had been out. I just got a second refurbished phone yesterday and this morning I'm having the same problem. When I took the second phone to the Apple store they said there was a problem with the antenna connecting or something and that there was something like over 300 network resets. What the f**k is wrong with these phones? Is it that IOS 4.01? Can I downgrade to the previous version? Does it have to do with my email? How can I stop these problems? My friends who live in my neighborhood who have the same phone do not have these No Service problems. I'm ready to call the head of Apple and have a few choice words with him!!

    If you qualify to have it unlocked by AT&T (you completed your contract and don't owe them anything) then you can use it with limited functionality on any compatible GSM carrier. There are no pre-paid options for using it with AT&T. There are known compatibility problems with T-Mobile in the US. Some people have had limited luck using it on StraightTalk.
    Follow the directions you get from AT&T assuming you qualify to have it unlocked. You will need a SIM, though I don't know that it will have to be an AT&T SIM. The unlock is done by restoring the phone using iTunes.
    If you just want to use it as an iPod Touch (no cellular service) you can do that, but you will need an AT&T SIM to re-activate the phone. It does not have to be tied to active service, it just has to be present.

  • Why can't I hear Siri when I use microphone earphones? She can hear Wme, and I can hear her when I use regular earphones? I thought it was the earphones, do I tried my

    CAnt hear Siri when using microphone headphones. She can hear me when using them; i tried another pair, and same thing. I can hear her when using regular headphones, though. Anybody have a suggestion?

    is I learn still around -? That was VERY HANDY!

  • TS4079 Siri says, Sorry, I can't make that call.   What's up with that?

    Siri finds the contact, says it's calling, then comes back saying it can't make this call.  This has only happened since iOS7

    Didn't know I was in an ipad chat....I was referring to my iphone 5 ever since I installed iOS 7.  Also, it's chosen not to text certain people.
    I've looked around the net and found a lot of people with the same problem, but haven't found any solutions yet.
    Thanks for your help.

  • In Denmark but can only make emergency calls

    I'm in denmark wanting to make just a couple calls so I didn't get an international plan. But my phone says I can only make emergency calls. Phone is a new Samsung s6 Active. Help!

    Hi there! @wormturner thanks for posting your concerns. I’m sorry to hear you are unable to make calls while in Denmark. I’ll be happy to help! It is possible that you don’t not have international roaming active on the account. I highly recommend adding an international plan to your line, as this can save you a great deal versus pay per use rates, which are 1.50 per minute in Denmark.
    If you’d like more information on the plans we have please visit us at http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/international/roaming.html
    Of course we’ll be happy to check your account to verify the availability of international roaming for pay per use on your line as well.
     please private message me by clicking here and provide your name and number.
    We will reach out to you within two business days.
    Thanks!

  • IOS 8 - using Siri but she can't find contacts that I clearly have in my address book. Why? I can find them manually.

    IOS 8 - using Siri but she can't find contacts that I clearly have in my address book. Why? I can find them manually.

    I have this issue also.  I ask Siri to call a contact, it repeats and spells the contact exactly as it is in my contacts, then says it cannot find it.  This happens for multiple contacts...

  • Siri sounds bad when using Bluetooth

    Siri sounds bad when using Bluetooth, but the phone calls sound great.

    Can a few of you help me with a test? I have a Jawbone 2 & a Jawbone Icon. Both exhibit a strange behavior with my iPhone 4. If either of these headsets are on, paired & connected AND a call is answered or initiated, things are fine.
    When it all goes downhill is in this scenario:
    My headset is OFF. I receive or make a call and mid-call, I decide to turn on the headset (which I keep off to save battery). The Jawbone connects and automatically switches the iPhone from PHONE to JAWBONE. This is all normal right? Okay here's the problem. The call quality has static, sounds muffled and the caller tells me I sound like I'm in a tin can. If I then switch back to the phone (through the iPhone page of Sources) and then back again, to the Jawbone, most times--quality is back to normal. Obviously this is not something we all want to be doing. Can anyone do this test with their headset .. any brand and even some of you with Icons? It would be good to know if the culprit is the Bluetooth Headset or the iPhone. Remember, it's important that you make a call with your Bluetooth headset in the OFF position and then turn it on mid-call to use it.

  • I can receive an iMessage from my daughters iPad although when i reply it says she is unavailable on iMessage. If I initiate the message it will go to her email rather than her iMessage?? Can anyone assist?

    I can receive an iMessage from my daughters iPad although when i reply it says she is unavailable on iMessage. If I initiate the message it will go to her email rather than her iMessage?? Can anyone assist?

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

  • HT4623 When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!

    When i try to update my ipod using iTunes, it say it can't be done b/c it cant contact my ipod software server!!!

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
