Siri on macOS allow

Right after the installation of Sierra, when I was asked to activate Siri, I have an error message saying there was a problem emabling Siri. I get the same error everytime I try and turn on siri, even from system preferences.

I started using the safe and he lets me activate Siri, but then he says there was no microphone detected. So I started normally new and Siri was always enabled it recognized my microphone, but when actually activate Siri, the black box where should be Siri, I he said even "which can help you with" and there is a logo of a microphone on the box, but I can't get Siri to turn on indeed. I've tried to zap the pRAM as well and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    This may be a clue what the problem

  • Siri is not working and thousands of lost e-mails

    I "upgraded" to the Sierra of Mavericks and now 1) Siri does not (active Siri and also internal MIC); (2) I've lost tens of thousands of emails.

    Do you have Time Machine backup of your data before moving on to the Sierra?

    Are your POP or IMAP account? If the IMAP, simply remove the account and then add the account back. However, for messages "on my computer", you will need restore from Time Machine.

  • Siri free eyes cannot open iHeartRadio

    I just got a new 2016 HR - V, and there siri eyes-free. When I hold the button while in the Park to say 'Open iHeartRadio' she tells me something since she can't because I'm driving. I have configured to start iHeartRadio playing while it is open, but I can't tell siri 'Play iHeartRadio' because she doesn't know how to do this.  I tell him to "Open" instead, but I can't use siri-hands-free. Ideas or workarounds?

    I might try later button or use the feature "Hey Siri", but "Hey Siri" has its own weird flaws when I use it in the context of waze. All of a sudden I get repeating playback of sounds (like an echo to a sound effect in waze) again and again.  Ideally, I would like to be able to say 'read some station on iHeartRadio' and then 'open Waze '.

    It's a pity that you can not mirror waze while driving because the hondalink app takes over all the 1 app... iHeartAuto and I think you have basically to have hondalink running in the foreground app (not allowing not not run waze and iheartauto).

    So it turns out, "Hey siri" there will allow you to bypass the "siri eyes free' no question apps opening. Since I also have the phone mounted wind to the right of the steering wheel, the button also works.

    It is a bizarre restriction if you ask me. The button to trigger the free eyes siri should work as well as the use of siri in normally with maybe a few optimizations to reduce extra if possible user interaction.

  • Disable voice command in iOS 10

    I'm not able to turn off the voice command. It's really annoying that when I hold the long home button, it activates the voice control. I tried to activate Siri, but the application does not appear in my settings. Maybe because I don't want to use Siri. How can I solve the problem of voice control?

    Voice command cannot technically be disabled.

    This workaround will allow to Siri that replaces voice command, allow a password locking and then disable the lock screen Siri. This allows to keep the Home running the voice command or button Siri if the screen is locked, preventing calls from Pocket.

    • Open the settings app.
    • Click on Siri (below its option n greater than touch id and password)
    • Turn Siri ON. This may seem counterproductive, but you will need to turn on Siri first in order to substitute the voice control
    • Return to the settings menu and select 'password '.
    • Tap "turn passcode on" and create a password if you have not already.
    • Tap on the "Voice Dial" option to disable the voice dialing.
    • Tap on the option "Siri" turns off Siri to the lock screen.
    • Set 'Password required' to 'Immediately'. This will force your phone to require a password as soon as you turn the screen off, preventing calls from Pocket.
    • Lock your phone. Now that your settings are correct, you will not be able to start the voice command or Siri when long-pressing the Home button while the phone is locked in your pocket.

    Hope this works for you...

    downside: you have now turned on siri. as soon as you turn it off, voice dialing is to a previous state...:

  • 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?

  • Sierra of MacOS - Siri cannot make voice calls.

    Hi guys,.

    Siri is supposed to be able to make phone calls via the iPhone, the Mac, in the Sierra de MacOS?

    Cause I can make phone calls (not the Facetime calls) fine if I use the Facetime on Mac app and click on the phone number, I want to call, or if I take a certain number of Contacts. But if I try to open Siri and make a voice command to "call X", he always tries to do through Facetime. Which means he's trying to make a Facetime call instead of a voice call normal.

    Is this a bug or missing feature? Is there a fix or a workaround for it? I wish I could use Siri on my Mac, just as I do on the iPhone.

    I observed the same behavior, so I think it's a missing feature.

    And page (below) which deals with Siri on Mac shows a command "FaceTime", but not a "Call" command  (As I say, I used the "Call" command and observed the same behavior you did.)

  • 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

  • I downloaded macossierra yesterday. Siri is asking me to allow location in settings and privacy, but I can't tick enable locations.  It is grayed out. help is needed

    I downloaded yesterday sierra of mac os.  However, I asked Siri what the weather conditions were in my position. She said that to go into the settings under Security and confidentiality and allow my place.  I did, but I'm not able to check the enable places.  It is grayed out.  Does anyone else have this problem.

    Hello dogsandcats,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that you are not able to activate location Services within the parameters of security and privacy on your Mac. I know how it is important for you to be able to turn on location Services. When you go to System Preferences, then Security & Privacy, make sure you click on the padlock at the bottom left and type your admin password. Then you should be able to turn on location Services.

    On location in OS X and Safari Services

    Activation of location Services

    Follow these steps to turn on location services in Mountain Lion OS X or later

    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    2. Click the Privacy & Security icon in the System Preferences window.
    3. Click the Privacy tab.
    4. If the icon of padlock in the lower left corner is locked (), click on it and enter an admin name and password to unlock ().
    5. Select location Services.
    6. Check the box "enable location services".

    Best regards.

  • 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
