Bad birthday with siri in macOS Sierra

• Two questions with Siri on macOS Sierra (voice quality and call sheet)

  I am having several problems with Siri on macOS Sierra...

  (1) the voice is of poor quality. I know that when you upgrade first, you get low quality voice until he had the opportunity to download the high quality voices, but I waited a week and even re-installed Mac OS several times, and I always get low quality voice. Even if I change voice in system preferences. I have macOS Sierra installed on my Macbook w/retina, and the voice quality is infinitely superior. Apple sugarcoat it on older Mac? I don't know that my 4-core i7 is well able to use the voice of the highest quality.

  (2) when I ask him to show my business address, or ask who my brother or finance is, she is confused, as if he can't read my card contact properly. The exact same contact card works fine on iOS 10. I tried turning off the Contacts in iCloud parameters and reactivated so he would be re - download, but it continues to provide partial information of the card. For example, for addresses, they go up like OTHER and display only the city and State, even though I have a full home address listed. I disconnected and connected as my fiancee, and his works fine.

  Thank you

  Dave

  Just a quick update - after deleting my contacts, reassignment to a new contact using "Make my contact" (which seems buggy btw - seems not stick) reinstall macOS Sierra twice, disabling iCloud, tilting and contacted him and Siri, etc. etc., it turns out that he was using a contact to my account (?) card, even if I didn't 'Calendar' selected in my Google account. I removed Google in my list of Internet accounts in Preferences system (along with a few others), and now it's using the new map that I created in iCloud. It's weird that it would give priority to my Google account on my iCloud account so much, especially since I have not yet activated contacts?

  Still need to understand why the high quality voices will not download.

• Siri on MacOS Sierra calls me by name different Contact form

  This problem, for me, therefore, with my installation of Siri in MacOS Sierra. He is referring to me, not by my details, but by the coordinates of my wife, which is the entry is the Contacts application above me.

  I was not able to get Siri to recognize my contact card as the official user, in spite that enforcement Contacts shows my entry as being "my card". Change the default contact, even to another person, makes no difference to what see Siri.

  Any idea what's going on?

  ICloud log and check.

   > SysPreferences > iCloud

  reactivate the icloud and check

  This may be a clue what the problem

• How to scan a document multi-page with preview in macOS Sierra with Scanner and printer Dell network?

  Hello, I know that macOS Sierra had a big problem with PDF / scanning due to an update to the pdf engine. Here we have Dell printers / scanners Dell C3765dnf Color MFP. We usually scan with Preview app (import of the device). But with macOS Sierra, the scanner scans all pages but the first page is available after the scanning process. Maybe can someone help?

  Have you tried scanning with Capture of Image?

• Siri on MacOS Sierra

• Printer "filter failed" for macOS Sierra?

  Hi all

  I have upgraded my iMac and MacBook Pro with the new macOS Sierra and did not have a lot of problems until recently. As my exams are approaching, I print on my printer, Canon E560 comments. However, recently, some pages may not be printed and printing stops. He said "stopped -"filter"failed", and I can't find a way to solve this problem. I did this experiment several times, and in early printing, it is said immediately that the filter is not on my computer, but continues to print up to a page where it stops. Some pictures on the already printed pages are distorted. Is this related to the Sierra macOS? This is true for my two computers. I replaced the cartridges of ink, but in vain. I've also sent cannon on it, but they take a lot of time to answer me.

  I have another printer on the floor in my house, which is of my fathers. So, I tried printing with it, but words have white lines through it, for some pages. This shows that it may be a problem with the document or the software, macOS Sierra 10.12.

  For two printers, it seems that the content of the pages is pushed down as well.

  Thank you very much

  Ethan

  Have you looked for a new driver for your printer? Canon are responsible for updating the drivers for their products to ensure that they are compatible with the new operating system

• How do we install siri on a mac mini with macOS Sierra?

  I have a 2011 mac mini with macOS Sierra installed environment. I know that the mini doesn't have a microphone installed. How do I set up my mini so I use siri? I noticed that when I installed Sierra on my MBP mid-2012, it asked if I wanted to install siri as part of the installation. I selected Yes. It happened when I installed it on my mini, I'm guessing that because there is no microphone on the mini. Thanks in advance.

  You are right. You are prompted to configure Siri during installation only if the computer has a microphone.

  Later, after you add a microphone go to System Preferences > Siri and turn on Siri

• Is Siri macos sierra - final list of control system that siri understands?

  I've seen excerpts of suggest some system settings that Siri can control, for example "switch off bluetooth", what is optimal, but "turn off the bluetooth mouse" would be more useful batteries changing as the former makes my imac (with mouse and wireless keyboard) totally unusable and unrecoverable without turning off or dig this long-lost old Dell USB keyboard TAPI at the bottom of the Cabinet.

  FWIW if you try siri "switch off the bluetooth mouse" just does not take into account the part of the mouse and disables it all!

  Then, I browsed the net to get a list of orders for the system or settings that siri understands and found the same things, 4 or 5, re-stuck again and again.

  I tried to ask Siri what settings it could change and says "Bluetooth is already lit" doh?

  Beats me why and maybe there isn't and I found it simply not, apple have not documented it better - all I could find was this macOS Sierra: ask Siri

  So has anyone seen a better resource for whats possible?

• Problems with mail after switching to macOS Sierra

  Hey all

  After having recently upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am unable to read my mail.

  I get the following error every time I check on "Get Mail".

  There may be a problem with the mail server or the network. Check the account settings "*" or try again.

  The server returned the error: Mail could not connect to the server 'pop1.tribcsp.com' using SSL on the default ports. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.

  What does this error message mean and how can I solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Hi Michael,

  I see your message that you get an error in the mail indicating that there is a problem with the mail server or the network.  To help get this problem resolved, I suggest that you follow the steps below:
  

  If mail refers to a problem with the mail server, or the network

  Mail will say that it is impossible to connect due to a problem with the mail server or the network. For example, the message may refer to a connection that has expired, or too many simultaneous connections:

  

  If you are connected to the Internet, but the connection has expired, your email provider might be affected by a discontinuance of service. Contact them or see their status Web page to ensure that their e-mail service is online. Examples of status pages:

  • iCloud mail status
  • Gmail status
  • Status of Yahoo mail
  • Status of the AOL mail
  • Status of Outlook e-mail

  If the message indicates the number of simultaneous connections, too many of your devices is check your e-mail account at the same time. Quit Mail on one or more of your other devices.

  If you are still unable to send or receive e-mails

  1. Make sure that you have installed latest version of the Mac software updates, especially if the problem occurred immediately after the installation of a previous update.
  2. In OS X El Capitan or later version, you can see a status icon and the short error message in the upper right of the Mail window, under the search box. The message may indicate 'Network offline' or 'Connection failed', for example. Click the message to see more details on the issue.
     
  3. Check your connection to the Mail connection doctor. It might be able to say more on the issue.

  If you cannot send or receive e-mail on your Mac.

  Take care.

• Troubleshooting with macOS Sierra

  Hello community!

  I recently installed macOS Sierra on my MacBook Pro retina (Retina, 13-inch, mid-2014 with 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and SSD 256). My MacBook is having hanged very often (after every 30 minutes) especially when I use Safari [version 10.0 (12602.1.50.0.10)] with several tabs. Please help me to provide appropriate advice.

  Restart in safe mode

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  then open safari while holding the SHIFT key,

  restart normally.

• MacBook Pro (15 inch, end 2013) with MacOS Sierra 10.12: kernel_task maxing out CPU with external display

  I have a maxed out end 2013 the MacBook Pro Core i7 to 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M 2048 MB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

  Also, I have a DELL P2415Q Display 24 inches (3840 x 2160) using Thunderbolt, are involved through the headphone jack and use a USB for lightning to recharge my iPhone.

  I upgraded to macOS Sierra the day he is released and had no problems until this morning. I unplugged my external screen and speakers and used my laptop for about 15 minutes, the battery, and then returned to my office and plugged my Thunderbolt, rear speakers display in and my CPU shot at 100% and never came back down. My Mac is essentially useless because kernel_task is eating all my CPU and to prevent another asks to enter the CPU.

  I have since audited equipment - everything was fine, reset the NVRAM and I tried to erase IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext .plist files but I couldn't on my Mac (trying to follow this guide, started in Safe Mode and everything then went to try and find the file and my Mac just does not have it). When my external screen is plugged if I'm doing anything CPU intensive (videophone, opening of Chrome, etc.) then my kernel_task gets mad again, and the only way to move is to unplug my screen. Connect my iPhone to charge the tips also my kernel_task as well. I followed my internal temperatures, and nothing was out of the ordinary, to cold currently at about 140 °.

  At this point, it seems that any time that puts something on the charging system and increase the temperature internal internal components of my Mac kernel_task maxes my CPU, which brings my Mac to its knees.

  Any ideas how to fix? Is this just a major bug in 10.12?

  I did disk first aid and tonight, tried to do a reinstall in Recovery Mode. I went into Recovery Mode, but nothing after that I said to reinstall Sierra (in fact he said that he would check if I was eligible, then I hit Continue, and nothing's happened over an hour when I left).  I also downloaded from the App Store, reinstalled Sierra and have exactly the same problems. But I'll try fortunately once again in a day or two after your specific guidelines, and it would be nice if it worked.  (I had all of your problems. Mine were the window of the mail attachment issues (opens and closes quickly or opens but not completely, so I can not upwards), network goes offline after I wake the computer from sleep, sleep sometimes takes three tests since the first time I try to sleep, he wakes up immediately.  But I'll give it a try and thanks to you and khati for the info.

• Using the function of scan macOS Sierra HP Officejet 7300 series network printer does not work; He had no problem with El Capitan...

  Printer HP Officejet 7300 network series that allows to work flawlessly with El Capitan does not work after the upgrade to Sierra.

  With macOS Sierra, when used as a network print service printer works fine however scan does not work. Programs like the Image Capture, HP Easy Scan etc does not see the printer. However, if the printer is directly connected to the Macbook Pro using the usb cable, a new printer is added to the list of printers (it shows print and scan functions while the printer network in the list shows only printing function) and the scanner works well with Image Capture, etc. If the usb cable is removed disconnects this printer in the list and there is no way to turn it on. I have the latest update for the printer installed from the App store. It looks like a driver issue, but I wonder if there is a work around for this problem...

  Open Preview.app. Under file in the menu bar, you see import of 'name of your scanner?

• InDesign CS5 will work with MacOS Sierra?

  Has anyone tried to see if InDesign CS5 will work with MacOS Sierra? I have creative cloud and CS5 on my machine, but due to some of the things that I have to work that only work with CS5 to CS6 I have to keep my old software. I hesitate to upgrade to Sierra until I know if InDesign CS5 will work or not.

  If anyone has tested this, I would be recognizing the return flow, thank you.

  It really depends what you do with it, and a large part of the framework has changes in the operating system for how the application is designed to run in. Your workflow can cause problems when the application works for others or you might be able to use it, but keep in mind has more no support for CS5 Adobe or Apple, so do not expect to solve any problems that you can discover.
