Why is Siri acting all creepy?

Does Siri learn names/voices on her own? I used my mother's iPad for the first time recently and Siri not only knew I was not the normal user, but correctly identified my voice and called me by my name. How on earth is this possible without some form of programming? I would say that she learned it from listening to phone calls, but it was on an iPad. This is creepy. Please someone, tell me how she knows who I am.

I appreciate how patriotic Siri is, but I need it to work.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • Why is siri setting all reminders for july 4th

    Siri is understanding and putting down everything I say.  But when it goes to set the reminder, no matter if I specify the month and day, or say tommorow, it sets it as July 4th. Ive done a shut down, and hard reboot, nothing is working.  Any help?

  • TS3581 why does siri use the INTERNAL speaker of my iphone 5 and ipad 3 while connected to my car stereo, instead of my car's speakers like all other audio functions? Isn't that the whole point of Siri? I can't hear her at all. useless.

    this is so frustrating.  I can't hear the responses over the road noise so instead, I must look at the screen and read her responses (Safety first, right).   Why just siri? all the other functions output audio through my car's speakers, but someone decided to make siri even MORE difficult to use??? Please apple, if this is a glitch, can you add it to the list and get siri working and fix this safety issue before someone dies?

    I think apple doesn't support using siri while driving.
    Cause it can distract you from driving.

  • Why did Apple not put Siri on all the iPads ?

    I'm dump founded that Apple didn't include all the iPads for OS6 update. And not put Siri on all the iPads Why?
    Can anyone tell me why....We all plaids the same prices for the iPads just different models...

    I think it's down to the resources on the iPads. The new iPad is the only one that can push Siri with enough umph to make it work. I would have said the iPad 2 should be able to run it as we'll but obviously Apple don't think so.
    I've got the new one so have been giving it a go and it's definatly got potential. My mother in law is blind so I'm hoping we can get her one soon.
    Anyway hope that helps.

  • Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5?

    Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5? I've tried the disable and reboot but continue to get the network error.

    Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
    It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or  for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
    But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
    Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

    If you're not running iOS 8 as you describe you are not, and Siri keeps coming on, this could be a hardware failure of the Home Button.
    Try these steps:
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Why is Siri on my iPhone 4s working very slow?

    Why is Siri working very slow?

    Mine's takes a minute to show the text and another five minutes to respond!!! it's aggravating!  Even the whole talk to text feature wouldn't work. The little dots would show up for 2 mins and go away with now results. I think I made a mistake in purchasing this phone. Ever since I bought it, it's been nothing but headaches. It's slow at times, the camera takes blurry photos most of the time, the intergrated gps ***** and to top it all off it's best asset siri stopped working properly! Anymore and I'm heading back to android!

  • Why no Siri on the new ipad

    Why is Siri not included on the new IPad?

    Because.
    There really is no answer to these questions. Apple decided not to throw it in the bundle. They might want it to be iPhone only. No one in here can/will answer that, since we're all users without access to this sort of information.

  • Why has Siri disappeared from my iPad's general settings?

       why has Siri disappeared from my general settings.  I had been using it frequently and now now it won't come up when I press the home button and I can't locate it in my general settings.

    If Siri is in restrictions and didn't show up remove all restrictions then do a reset. Press and hold both the Home and Power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo shows up. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds until your iPad starts on it's own.
    Any chance you moved to a country where Siri is banned ?

    how long to charge the iPhone battery when it is new?
    Some say it is 6 or more hours
    thanks for the help
    As I said, you won't hurt a lithium-ion battery by not fully charging it prior to use.  These batteries don't have a "memory" like older nickel cadmium batteries do so it doesn't compromise it's ability to fully charge by using it with only a partial charge.  You also can't overcharge it; your charger will go into "trickle" charge mode once it reaches about 95% charge and remain that way.  If you want to wait to use it, charge it overnight.  If you don't, just charge it for a couple of hours, the fully charge it once you don't need to use it for a while.
