Why does siri sound different all of a sudden?

So I'm currently using a Verizon iPhone 5s and got it about 2 weeks ago. When I first used siri she had more of a fluent human like voice but now she sounds robotic, like how when the iPhone 4s came out with siri she sounded robotic.

There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

Why Does Siri Sound fast/robotic?

I notice that with iOS7 that Siri sounds different on TV ad's and videos online, but after I updated mind does sound different but robotic, works fine and only after I bought a used iPhone 4s from a work friend and setup for my Mom to use as an iPOD her Siri voice sounds so much BETTER... like non-robotic and more natural voice, both are different from iOS6 but my phone is different not natural, I seen many posting about this problem but no real fix.
I have Apple Care and before I call or visit a store I thought ill post this?
Thanks

Hey appleab,
Great question. I believe the following article addresses your concerns:
iOS: Understanding Siri and VoiceOver voices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5025
Your iOS device initially uses a compact voice for both Siri and VoiceOver. After you have configured a Wi-Fi network and have the device connected to a power source, iOS will automatically download and install a more natural-sounding voice.
Siri
1. Go to Settings > General > Siri > Language.
2. Select the Language and Voice Gender* you want to use.
Note: If you change the language or gender for Siri, the new enhanced-quality voice will need to download.
Thanks,

Why does my memory stick all of a sudden trigger the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"?

I bought a LaCie memory stick a couple of months ago. It worked fine. Now all of a sudden I get the message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". What has happened? Is all my data lost? Can I retrieve it? I tried to fix it with Disk Utility (which at least correctly recognises the stick), and even though I can click on my memory stick I can't do anything to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

According to an ASC member who claims to work for HP, this issue can be resolved by repairing the permissions of the startup volume in Disk Utility. I can't confirm, but it has apparently worked in at least one case.

Why does siri sound robotic?

Just updated my iPad iOS to 6.0.1 and now Siri's voice sounds robotic like someone's shoved something down its throat. Tried changing to different languages and they all have the same robotic tint to them. Any one have any idea what's going on? I have the most recent iPad ( iPad 3 I think)

Why Does Siri Sound Funny?

Something funny has happened recently...
Basically two (negative) changes have happened to Siri. It doesn't affect the functionalitiy but nevertheless, they're still bad.
1. Siri has started sounding robotic - currently I am using the british male. Before it sounded fine, but know it sounds scary and robotic.
2. Sometimes when I ask Siri a question, about 1/10 times, the voice goes all slurred and slow - it sounds like Siri has had a stroke.
Has anyone else had any problems like this?
Just to clarify, I am not talking about Siri taking a while to respond.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi all..... finally.. problem solved.
I too had this problem with Siri'S voice sounding "woolly"
I went to the apple store and they too were at a loss.
So I went home and worked it out for myself.
In short, when the phone puts a Load on the processor such as a download or backup, it causes the voice to loose clarity. Once the downloading or backing up is complete dear Siri is back to it's clear old self. I do hope this helps.
Happy and healthy new year to you all.

Why does recording sound different when bounced to iTunes?

What I hear in GarageBand - a nicely mixed finished song with great fidelity - sounds tinny and flat once bounced to iTunes. How do I get what I'm hearing in GarageBand to be what I hear in iTunes?

Good point, Christoph
OfViceandMen, are you using iTunes '11?
The playback settings are distributed:
In Preferences > Playback are "Sound Enhancer" and "Sound Check",
In the "Window" menu is the "Equalizer".
Happy Easter to you all!

Why does camera sound different on ios7, why does camera sound different on ios7

when screenshotting, camera sounds funny like its delayed!! hate that!

You could always try the fix I have been reading for lagging in the keyboard. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. That will have no affect on your data, but you will have to re-enter wifi password data.

Why has the sound gone all of a sudden after installing the new iOS 5.0.1?

I have had the iPhone 4s since the time it was released in the uk, u had no problems with it, it's network coverage was pretty good, the loudness of the speakers was good ad the battery would last me an entire day, now after installing the new ios 5.0.1, my sous has gone, I can't hear the music playing, I can't here te clicks and the tap sounds when touching the phone, the only time it makes sound is when I make a call and I can put it on loud speaker, other than that there's no sound coming from te loud speaker, oh yeah Siri seems to be working fine. Do aby of you people know what's wrong and if any of you lot are going through the same problem or any other problems since tbe update to ios5.0.1, apple you need to get this sorted as the speaker is important to some of us if not all and it would be great if you could sort this out and any other problems caused by this update and to allow the phone to work and operate the way it should, thanks!

Hi Guys, I FIXED IT!!!!
I have post eariler on this forum and as you know I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

Why does dvd studio Pro all of a sudden want my serial number?

Using DVDSP 4.2.1. This has been stable on my Mac Pro for many years now. The file importer got confused somehow and even Activity Monitor had trouble force quitting.
I repaired permissions and rebooted and all seemed fine. Now about every 3 or 4 times I start DVDSP it'a asking for me to put in my identifying info, including the SN.. I've got the SN, but I don't feel all warm and fuzzy about this. Does anyone know what has happened and how I can be sure things are not going to lock me out when I need to keep going on a project?

I have had this problem occur rather often. Not sure which OS you are running. A couple of things, after entering the number, close it out and open the older version of Motion (the one from the Studio and install discs, not the new one if you purchased through app store.)
Then either launch DVD Studio Pro via going into the App Folder and open a project that way OR close out DVD SP and click a DVD SP project to open it. Yeah, it sounds weird. On one of my computers following one of those seems to have cut down the asking for a serial number a lot, while on another computer the second version seems to work. I have not tracked down where the problem came from yet, but I had the same thing - stable for years. And I do not recall even doing any updates because once I have computers working, I leave them alone unless needed. I am guessing I probably loaded a driver or something.....

Why does my scroll pad all of a sudden not work in FF? It works perfectly fine in IE, MSWord, and windoes explorer, etc...

The scroll pad on my laptop no longer works with FF. Yet it works with every other concievable program i could use it for.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 weeks ago

Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.

The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
