• 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

  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.

• 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?

• Siri does not start under macOS Sierra

  I've recently updated to macOS Sierra (public version) and everything seems fine, except for allowing to Siri. I tried to enable the system preferences as well as execution of the Siri application in the application. I even tried to 'facilitation' by selecting in the menu bar.

  In any case it does not start. Upon activation in system preferences, I get "There was an error in the preferences of Siri." and it takes back me to the main view of system preferences.

  Y at - he of the log files that I should be reviewed to determine the cause of this problem?

  Thank you

• 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?

• 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

• Siri launches applications under macOS Sierra

  I just updated my mac to macOS Sierra. When I activated and opened Siri, however, it does not seem to recognize every command that I gave him. Currently, it is impossible to find one of the applications that are on my computer. When I say something like "Safari open" or "Open Messages", she said something in the sense of: 'I wasn't able to find an application called 'Safari' on your computer. You can try to search for the App Store. »

  What should I do to fix this?

  Hello...

  Try to speak a little more slowly and clearly. You have to practice a little but I got it working. Make sure that there is no background noise such as a TV or stereo.

  'Open Safari' works for me ok.

• Siri is disabled by the Parental control on macOS Sierra admin account

  I just installed macOS Sierra today on my 13 "Mac Book Pro (early 2011). I have only one user account that is an administrator account. Siri is not enabled on my machine. When I go to the Siri system preferences screen, it says that "Siri is disabled by Parental control. Hmmm, when I check the Parental control screen, it says "you logged in using an administrator account." You can only apply parental controls to accounts that are not administrator accounts. »

  What happens here?

  Same problem here. Updated for Sierra of El Capitan on MacBookPro 15 "(mid - 2014).

  Even if I toggle the checkbox on the Parental control > others > disable Siri & dictation I can't activate Siri, the checkox is always gray and the alert says "Siri is disabled by Parental control.

  Siri is enabled if I login as a burst, but I need it on my Admin account of course. Very annoying.

  

• macOS Sierra upgrade questions

  Problems of bad battery life updated since El Capitan with macOS Sierra. "100% charged drains battery fast on Sierra for 2-3 hours only. Before the mac update OS Sierra, he could stay for 8-9 hours,". If we installed macOS Sierra and noticed that the battery life is empty very quickly on MacBook Air/Pro, iMac etc, please help me to solve the problem of this problems.

  Hey there,

  Nothing but hurt. It is a common problem in the Sierra. One of the reasons, you must take off the coast about obtaining the latest software. It can be a bit much. If I remember correctly, they do not have the issues of EL CAP battery until le.3 ou.4 updated. (this is the solution that allowed the 8-9) I would recommend just downgrading to El Cap, as I can't imagine that the loss in the life of the battery is useful for siri.   Just my 2 cents.

• update problems since macOS Sierra to iMovie

  Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me out here because I'm starting to get really frustrated.

  I have a MacBook Pro and yesterday I upgraded to macOS Sierra and I regret it now because when I wanted to work with iMovie today he is more worked how it used to. I make youTube videos for a living and I'm already a day behind my schedule download because of this problem. Basically what is happening, it's only when I imported my video files to my SD card into iMovie files seemed normal, however when I put them in a project and began to play them I noticed that the color was distant, it almost looks like there is a misty overlay. At first I thought that maybe my DSLR camera has broken out and checked the files on the SD card (played files to QuickTime) but they seem quite normal and how they should look, iMovie for a reason any turns them... I have no idea how to solve this problem, because I'm not even sure what really is the problem. Can someone help me please?

  Hi, Anny,

  I don't know what is happening with the change of color in your timeline.   Whenever there is an upgrade of the operating system there always is the possibility of conflicts with specific applications until the bugs have been worked.  So, it is possible that your question is related to your recent update to OS Sierra - hard to say.  I'm not aware of anyone who still displays with your problem.

  Given that the problem appears only in your timeline, maybe media are complex and your computer is hard to deal with in the time line or keep in touch with your editing.

  You can see if the problem is linked project by creating a new project with the same or different media.   Is it possible to have a color filter activated inadvertently?  You can also try to reopen iMovie while maintaining the option and command keys and selecting Remove preferences.  Sometimes, it allows to launch iMovie in a different account, as your guest account, in which case there is a conflict with your current user account.  If none of the works above, you can try to create a new library on your boot drive or disk formatted Apple iMovie and see if your projects are working properly.   Another possibility is to restore your old operating system from Time Machine.

  In any case, I think that once the film is shared out he will play with his normal colors.  Try sharing file on your desktop to confirm that.   If he plays well, at least you'll be able to keep your schedule download then you want to solve your problem.

  Best,

  Rich

• Adobe CC and macOS, Sierra compatibility issues

  As always, I'm afraid that my work flow is interrupted by an upgrade of the OS.

• What is Dreamweaver CS6 work under MacOS Sierra?

  For the people of Adobe, read this: 10 years ago, I bought Macromedia Studio which included Dreamweaver. After that, I upgraded to the CS6

  Now, I am in terms of photography.

  I love Dreamweaver and I use it a few times a month. I'm not a professional. In any case I use it enough to pay €24,-/ month for a subscription of the CC of Adobe.

  El Capitan CS6 Dreamweaver OSX works pretty well. Image-icons are missing in the file browser.

  But very soon MacOS Sierra is coming (in about 1 week?) And now, I've read there is a compatibility issue with Dreamweaver CS6.

  macOS Sierra 10.12: compatible Apps | MacRumors Forums

  I would like to know if there are users of DW CS6 who has already experienced this problem...

  Maybe it will be fixed with the final version of the Sierra. But maybe not. And it will mean the end of me to be able to use Dreamweaver. :-(

  I bought CS6 4 years. I think it is absurd that it becomes unusable so early.

  CS6 released in 2012 is now 8 versions behind the current CC 2015.3.  And it is not certified to run on the operating systems Windows 7 or OS x 10.7.  If it works on El Capitan, great!  You can continue to use it for another 3-4 years.  Just do not upgrade to Sierra until you're ready to raise a creative level Cloud.
