Why wont Siri read out my messages and only gives business and traffic ?

If it wasn't bad enough that SIRI can only give you traffic and business locations in the US "I can only look for businesses, maps, and traffic in the United States, and when your're using U.S. English. Sorry about that." but it wont even read out my text messages. All it says is "Message from xxx" then goes silent then asks if I would like to respond. When I look at the message its full words as we dont like to use slang or TLA's
Anyone got any ideas and when will it work fully in the UK?

I'd call it a feature. I don't want Siri reading my messages when I'm in a meeting, and some of the messages could be embarrassing. The iPhone gives you a choice; turn on text message previews if you want Siri to read your messages aloud without unlocking the phone, or turn off if you don't. Compelete control.

  • Why wont my Tv Show Download? it only says "download error. tap to retry" and tapping doesnt work it just keeps on saying the same thing.

    Why wont my Tv Show Download? it only says "download error. tap to retry" and tapping doesnt work it just keeps on saying the same thing.

    It appears in the download section of my itunes.
    I downloaded a season of Iron Man Anime and all of the episodes except episode 1 was downloaded. I looked at the error and it says "error = -50" and when I try to resume downloading, it continues to tell me that there is a download error and it wont resume.
    It also says to check my network connection, but I'm connected. So....I'm not sure what to do...this kind of ticks me off.

  • Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    what does this mean ?
    Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
    so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
    That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
    "Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

  • When I use Sync My Itunes I always get the message that Itunes is busy and to try again later.  I'm trying to sync my Touch so I don't get the index is full message.  Help.

    I'm trying to use "Sync My Itunes" to use my Ipod Touch in my 2011 Ford Escape.  I keep getting an index is full and all songs may not play message.  When I use the "Sync My Itunes" I always get the message that Itunes is busy and to try again later.  How do I get this to work?  I can't reset my Ipod without losing all my 4,000+ tunes.  Help!

    The "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" solution did not work for me, but this did:
    In your iTunes library, make sure the "iCloud Download" column is showing (looks like a little cloud icon). Check for any songs that have a light gray cloud icon. Do whatever you need to do to make this icon disappear for that song (get iTunes to make sure it's downloaded onto your machine, or delete the song). Run Sync My iTunes again and it should finish.
    Notes:
    - Plugging in your iPhone/iPod might cause these songs to get copied back into your library, and you'll have to do this again. 
    - I didn't start having this problem until I bought Match
    How I discovered this:
    I noticed that it stopped every time at song #1242 in my library, so I ran "Sync My iTunes (Debug)" to see which song it stopped on. Then I went back to my library, found the song, and noticed it had the light gray cloud icon. It also had a local copy of the song already. I think iTunes gets confused sometimes and forgets that it downloaded a song from your cloud library, then tries to download it again even though it's already on your computer. Then it realizes the file's already there, and doesn't download it. However, it leaves it in your library flagged as an incomplete download. Sync My iTunes triggers iTunes to attempt download, which then makes it look like iTunes is busy. My theory at least...

  • Why does my iPhoto red eye reduction tool only give me blue or black blobs in the eyeballs that look completely unacceptable?

    Why does my iPhoto red eye reduction tool only give me blue or black blobs in the eyeballs that look completely unacceptable? Automatic mode makes blue blobs that cover iris and even eyelid! Manual mode gives black dots, not at all hte shape of a oerson's iris as seen in a picture.

    And again the answer is simply
    THere is no fix - that is the way it works - you can post as many times as you want but it will not change the fact that that is the way that iPhoto works
    No fix
    No work around
    It is what it is - nothing more - nothing less

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

    Go into the Control Panel for progams and try to repair the iTunes installation, or remove it and then reinstall.

  • 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.

  • How can I make Siri read my text messages to me?

    I saw the instructional video and it showed a woman receiving a text message via Siri, and she picked it up and answered it via Siri. I know how to send that way, but can't get Siri to read my text messges to me. Can someone tell me how that works? Thanks,
    Sandy

    Johnathan,
    Can Siri record a voice memo?
    Do you know if it can read older text messages by just asking?
    Thanks
