Why doesn't siri include my name in answers

if I ask siri what my name is,,,,,it repeats my name correctly.  However siri never includes my name in replies.

If I say, "good morning Siri"....the response on the phone screen is "good morning to you too Lou".  But the response she gives in audio is "good morning to you too".  (Lou is my name).
And it would likely say the same thing if anyone else talked to Siri on your device.

  • Why doesn't siri know how to change the time of a reminder? When asked, "Do you want to confirm or cancel your reminder?" Reply, "Can I change the time to a half hour later?" Siri doesn't know how to respond.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • Why doesn't siri work away from home

    why doesn't siri work way from home

    It does for me. But it requires an Internet connection, so if you don't have mobile data turned on or your account isn't provisioned for it or you are out of range of a cell tower Siri can't talk to the servers.

  • Why doesn't Cloud include audiobooks?

    I can use Cloud to transfer/download music, iBooks, videos and apps... but not audiobooks... I don't understand why it isn't included? I'm stretched between three computers and I don't always purchase the audiobook from the same one, but I can't upload it to my phone/iPod except through one computer. If Cloud is supposed to fix that issue, why doesn't it include audiobooks?

    Perhaps because the copyright owners won't allow it. Really, though, no one on this board can answer that question with certainly because we are all just users like yourself.

  • Why doesn't Apple include all iTunes extras with bundle purchases?

    I have noticed this before but now I am wondering: Why doesn't Apple include all iTunes extras with bundle purchases?
    I am currently looking at the Buddy Comedy Pack.  On this page they say that the following movies have iTunes Extras:
    21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, and Step Brothers. 
    As you scroll down the page it says that if you purchase this bundle, you also receive:
    iTunes Extras for: 21 Jump Street, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys
    A) Why not include 22 Jump Street's extras with this bundle?
    B) The Other Guy's does not have an iTunes extra unless bought through this bundle! (What the heck?!)
    Thanks for your help!

    did you change your name in contacts? that's where siri gets your name from.

  • Why won't Siri say my name?

    My name is actually "Dave".  Not "David", but "Dave".  For some reason (although I think I may know why), Siri refuses to call me "Dave".  It will call me "Master".  It will call me "David".  But it will not call me "Dave".  Seriously?

    Do what a friend did. Change your info to "MASTER"

  • Why won't Siri say my name correctly?

    I've tried it all, yet Siri WON'T say my name right!  My last name is "Eliasen," pronounced Eh-LEE-uh-sen.  She keeps saying, "Eh-LIE-uh-sen."  Why can't she figure out this simple phonetic spelling???  I've even tried putting the phonetic spelling "Elíasen," which would also work. 
    She DID, however, take the correct phonetic spelling for my first name.  It's Jalyssa, pronounced "Juh-Lisa."  Yet when I tell her, "I want to go home," and she replies, "here are directions to Jalyssa Eliasen home address," she says my first name incorrectly again.  What the heck?
    Anyone got magic answers?

    Siri is a BETA.
    Not sure if anyone has any answers for this - not yet anyway.

  • Skype Unlimited - why doesn't it include group vid...

    I have had Skype World Unlimited for many years now and I don't understand why it doesn't include Group Video Calling.  I already pay more than the Skype Premium subscription on my current subscription, I find it odd that I need to get a Skype Premium subscription on top of my Skype World Unlimited subscription.
    Is Group Video Calling likely to be added to Skype World Unlimited at any point?
    Also, I notice my subscription no longer exists in the list of Skype subscriptions under the Prices menu.

    Oh yes, iMovie can export to all the different QuickTime formats. For compatibility, you may want to try exporting to Sorenson. That's been included in QuickTime for quite some time and should run on most installations that people already have.

  • Why doesn't iTunes use track names on burned cd's instead of querying Gracenote?

    I run a recording studio and burn cd's of original music for clients. Sometimes when those clients open their cd in itunes, titles and artist names with no connection whatsoever to their music are displayed. Why does itunes not just use the titles burned with the cd instead of automatically querying Gracenote and arbitrarily assigning incorrect titles and artists to the disc? I have even imported such a disc into itunes, changed the titles and artist name, created a new playlist with those songs, and burned a disc from that corrected playlist, only to have it come up wrong again when the new disc is opened in itunes. This needs to be fixed. Some of those clients use the burned discs as booking demos, and having another artist's name and song titles come up causes confusion and embarassment.

    ed2345,
    No need for you to be an a-hole.
    Fair enough, although you are better off getting that feedback from me than from one of your clients who puts 2 and 2 together. 
    I clearly stated that quite often these were unfinished projects, often with working titles that may or may not be the final title.
    What you "clearly stated" is that your clients are having "confusion and embarassment."  Is that not sufficient for you to get those discs into the database?
    ....if the names haven't changed will Gracenote accept a submission of the same titles but different running times from the same artist and delete the old one?
    If the running times are different, it will look like a different CD to Gracenote.  If the CD is not the final version, you should append its title with "Demo" or "Work in Progress" or a similar indication that will distinguish it from the final "real" version.
    You may have a misimpression about Gracenote.  Yes, they are authoritative about commercial CDs, but they have also opened their DB for submissions to any hobbyist with iTunes and a burner.  They have tons of such things in their database.  There is absolutely no need for you to avoid putting your stuff in there.  In fact, since iTunes cannot read CD Text, there is currently no way other than Gracenote to solve the iTunes problem which brought you to this Forum.

  • Why doesn't siri recognize apps that it used to?

    Siri is getting dumber and dumber. It no longer opens Music and says that it appears I do not have an app named music. It used to open Waze as well. Same story. Same with calculator and clock. It does open phone, mail, and iTunes Store. Why is Siri getting dumber? I reset network settings, but that didn't help.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
    Release the Buttons..
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Why won't Siri say my name? She just writes it.

    When I tell Siri what to call me, it appears in text form in her answer, but she does not say it all the time. She speaks everything except the name I told her to call me, eventhough it's showing up on her written answer. She says it from time to time, but I want to get her to say it everytime she speaks to me or anwers a question. Ideas?

  • Why doesn't siri talk her answers out

    My friend here at work has the Android phone and he speaks into it to ask a question. His android comes back reading the answer out.  Now I go and ask the very same question and siri says "let me take a look on the web" then displays the same answers on the screen as my friends phone reads it out.  He is saying siri is garbage and that is why it won't work. 
    is this true?

    Hey funkyphil1974,
    Thanks for the question. Siri will read back dictated information when you use earphones or a headset:
    When you use earphones or a headset, Siri reads back text messages and email messages that you've dictated before you send them, and it reads back the subjects of reminders before you create them. This is especially helpful when you're driving and can't see the screen.

  • Pages Templates - Why doesn't Apple include CD covers and CD labels?

    Considering how music oriented Apple is, I'm surprised that Apple hasn't thought of including templates for CD covers and CD labels. This would be exceedingly useful to have!

    iTunes itself can print a CD insert with song titles and time. Labels on CDs, in the long run, aren't a good idea. In a slot loading drive they are a disaster waiting to happen and even with a tray loading drive they can cause trouble; over time the glue dries out and the label can begin to peel. If you really want CDs and DVDs labeled, look to LightScribe or printable discs and a printer capable of printing on them. As for CD covers (and other kinds of labels) Avery has a free program that is pretty impressive. Of course, you can always go to the Avery web site and find a Word template which will open right up in Pages and you can have at it.
