Your post with a screen shot and some issue was all you've provided.

Here's a tip: Writing an effective Apple Support Commun… - Apple Community

Nobody here going to read your history, I could have saved yours and my time if you've mentioned you've already did the restart.

FYI, This is a user to user technical forum, not Apple employees. We volunteer our free time to help other fellow users. I don't see why I should continue with you with your attitude.

Maybe you should also reread the Terms of Use.

short answer: yes, I tried that.


explanation of short answer: I asked for help...level9 tech offered the most basic of advice, which implies level9 didn’t read through my customer history, which would have elucidated how I am a rampant Siri/iOS/Mac issue-identifier and I express my frustrations with apple’s products misfiring by calling in to alert levels1-999 of these unresolved bugs. I am continually surprised at how well apple’s customer service team triages the issues I find with apple’s products and then either fixes the issue or escalates my concerns to the appropriate engineering team. Unfortunately, however, much to my chagrin, engineers like those who have reached level9, persist at having poor customer service skills.


Ckuan: I appreciate your attempt to reply to my fun way of identifying a problem and asking for a fix with your sense of humor. Unfortunately, part of comedy is knowing the material you are working with...reread my previous “reply” and notice that I never said I have a 9 year old because, well, I do not. My 9 year old self was whom I was referencing...

Just as you are there to explain software and engineering processes and solutions to people who are not actively in a position to solve problems with apple’s tech, I see an opp for me to continue educating you about the nuances of reading comprehension and how to make people giggle with hilarity in times of conflict, as appropriate comedic timing dissolves much tension.


To repeat: yes, before I tried asking the levels1-999 how to fix my issue herein and before I called iPhone cs support, I did try a few Nintendo-cure fixes. Airplane mode, power off/on, research similar known issues on intergalacticWeb...so, no I did not ask my past self to help me because that is probably impossible, for at least 9 reasons I can think of, and because until Tim Cook and Wozniaki unite to build a flux capacitor that doesn’t shred the space-time continuum...I thought asking the pros would be the best course of action...


next solution?
