Why is Apple Maps making up words?

The voice of navigation (siri) apparently made up a word the other day. I was driving down a road using navigation on my phone, which was plugged into my car speakers. Siri told me to turn off on to a ramp and I did so, Then it it gave me the next direction: "In 900 feet turn right on to 'adweandi'." Adweandi is not a street anywhere that I know of, and definitely not in that area (I am pretty familiar with the area), so I looked at the screen and it said "Turn right onto Broadway". I thought maybe I missheard what it said, so I had it repeat the audio direction, and again it said "Turn right onto Adweandi". I had it list all of the steps and there was nothing in any of the directions that looked even remotely similar to 'Adweandi'. I'm not even sure what exactly it was saying, but it sounded like the words 'add' + 'we' + 'and' + 'I' strung together with no spaces. I had it repeat the word like 10 times, and it just kept saying it over and over. When I finally made the turn on to Broadway like it said on the screen, it immediately said "Continue on Broadway for 2.5 miles and the destination is on your right."
What could cause something like this? Has anyone else experienced the voice navigation making up words before? I know sometimes it can mispronounce words, but first of all Broadway sounds nothing like Adweandi, and second it said Broadway perfectly clearly after I made the turn.
I am using a 16GB iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1.

This obviously isn't a big deal, I'm just curious. This is where I was, you can see there isn't anything like adweandi here:

Why is Apple not making commercials about samsung?

Why is Apple not making commercials about samsung Galaxy huge screens? I had a 67 old customer who wanted a samsung because of large screen. I know that Steve gets it. He would have done something by now.

I think Samsung is more than capable of advertising their own phones. I don't think Apple really wants to help them with that.

Why apple discontinued iphone 5 ?
Because they brought out the iPhone 5S and 5C.

Nobody here would know, but it seems extremely unlikely.

HT5429 Why is Apple Maps "List Results" unclickable?

At first i thought this was only a problem with my phone (iPhone 4), however the Apple screenshot in their "Using Maps in iOS6" article shows the same unclickable "List Results" button.
Why would this feature be included but unclickable for everybody? I can find no information on the subject online anywhere. It also makes no sense why the fact that it is unclickable would not be mentioned anywhere on the Apple site.

Same thing but different here in Montana. I tap on my address in Contacts and am taken to someplace about 200 miles away on the map. The street there is not even the same name as my street. I tried tapping a location and dropping a pin to use for my location and using that as my Home. Apple Maps comes up with an address for the dropped pin but when I tap that address in Contacts I shown a location about 5 miles away instead of where I live. Because of these map problems I cannot use Siri to provide location based services related to my Home.
I have reported the problem but so far there has been no fix.

Why is apple maps syncing my favorites?

Whenever I add a favorite in "maps" it gets synced to my other ios devices.
So far I haven't found a way to turn that off.
Every option in iCloud is turnef off.

I don't even have a SIM card inserted into the device, so I don't see how that could impact it. All other download services are working fine, with consistently about 15-20Mbps download speeds on Comcast. It is only Apple Maps that seems to have an issue. Trying TopoMaps, e.g., the map loaded instantly on places I have never searched before (ergo, map tiles were not cached).

Why are Apple Maps so terrible? Not fit for purpose, an absolute disgrace!!!

I am pretty furious about the extremely poor quality of the Apple Maps and I really don't believe that they are fit for purpose and should not have been launched with iOS6.
Maybe they work in the US but in the UK they are terrible, London looks great, but everywhere else is a blurry mess, and even major cities such as Nottingham where I live are unrecognisable, covered in a blanket of cloud!
Come on Apple, this is not on either get it fixed or get Google Maps back.
I am seriously hoping that Google launch a Map App.
I have been a long term Apple fan, currently have an iPhone 4 (5 being delivered tomorrow) and and iPad 3... but I will reconsider future purchases if iOS is not sorted... don't even get me started on YouTube!

Why is apple maps data different on the mac to the iphone

basicly there is upto date data on my maps app o nthe mac but when i go and see the same strech of road on my ios device it is the old data. yes this sound picky but i just want to know why, and if it the iphone catche ( if that the right word) how do you clear it?

No, the Mail program doesn't have a fatal flaw (though it does have plenty of small irritating features) - there is something wrong with your installation or configuration.
1) run disk utility and perform a disk repair (not repair permissions). Since you have Mt Lion it would be most convenient to reboot into recovery mode (command r on startup) and run disk utilty there. Disk Utility cannot repair the startup volume which is why you should restart in recovery mode. This will ensure your problem isn't a had directory.
2) create a new user account and configure Mail for at least one email account (assuming you have more). Make sure it is one that locks up. If the problem doesn't exists on the new account your problem exists in the account you use. If so, do you use any mail plugins?
3) If the problem exists in the new account start Console and look for errors involving Mail. Do you see any hints there? Don't post all the error messages but feel free to post any that mention Mail specifically.

Why did apple stop makeing ios for iphone 3g?

i've been wondering why you all have stoped making ios for iphone 3's inpurticular because i can't get any up dateed stuff on my iphone?

Because the hardware can't support it. The iPhone 3G is very old, it had to be dropped at some point. All later models are still supported as of now.

Why is Apple ID making my life a living ****?

I didn't know whether to put this under iCloud or iTunes, but the basic problem I'm having is with Apple ID. It's constantly telling me that my password is invalid, and I have to reset it every day, or several times per day.
It was fine when I just had my iMac to deal with, but then I added an iPod Touch, which I think is when the problem started.
I hate being harassed with Apple ID constantly asking for my password in the first place. I thought the idea was "set and forget"... as it should be.
Well, sometimes my signin worked on the iMac, but not on my iPod. Then my iMac wouldn't accept my password.
Now, it's even worse, since I've added an IPad and MacBook Air to my collection.
Isn't the general idea that I can use one Apple ID/password combo for all of them???
I can't live with changing my password once or twice a day and having to remember it when I move from one device to another.
I'm still using the same old email address... [email protected] for all of them, so that's not an issue.
Even getting into Apple Discussions, I had to move from my iMac, which wouldn't accept the password I set yesterday to my MacBook, which does!!!
What is this insanity all about???

I find that this usually means that there is an issue at the point on the timeline where the process freezes. If you have Activity Monitor running you can tell when DVDSP freezes (CPU usage % for DVDSP will drop significantly). If you then look at the Video TS output file using Finder, you can preview the movie. You will see that it has created VOB files for the entire project, but look at the last one that has a 1 at the end of it (ie VTS011.VOB). Slide through the preview (within Finder) to the end and see where it got to. Then look carefully at that point in DVDSP. Usually there is a misplaced chapter or some such confusing the issue. Tweak it and all should be well.

Why did apple stop making the 40gb photo ipod?

????

The cost differential between the different sized hard drives decreased and, to simplify the product line, the 40GB iPod Photo was discontinued.

Why does iOs 7.0.3 (11B511) not allow invitees on new calendar events anymore? This was a key function I used for my business, I really don't like most of the "upgrades" Apple keeps making

I can't add invitees to my calendar events on my iPhone 4s, so frustrating to take that away when it's such a useful tool, why does Apple keep making these so-called "upgrades" that only make things less efficient or productive.
I wish Steve was still around!

So, it can be done, only after you set your calendar event then go back in to edit it. Seems like a brilliant idea to create an extra step now, was obviously too difficult to leave well enough alone & create more work to achieve the same task as that was far to easy before.
Great work Apple, I thought upgrades & updates were supposed to be better & benefit the user, guess not so much anymore

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

Why does Maverick's Apple Maps Require WiFi for Location?

I'm connected via ethernet to my cable router. Why do I need WiFi enabled on my iMac for Apple Maps to work?
This makes no sense at all and it seems that the OS perfers to use the 54Mbps WiFi connection over my direct 1Gb cable connection. Surely this is a bug that needs to be fixed or a requirement that makes zero rational sense. The WiFi is just as connected to the exact same router as my ethernet is, if only wirelessly.
In addition, whenever WiFi is enabled, it drops the connection to my router randomly and usually during some point overnight.

Best thing to do, is send feedback to > Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
