Siri is not working on the "New iPad" (iPad 3)

How did u?

After my stop at the Genius Bar, the only way to get it working right was to completely wipe the phone. After we did that, Siri started working. The guy there thought that there was something corrupt in my backup file that was preventing Siri from working, so I just had to reload everything manually.

My restrictions was on instead of off. Turned it off and she popped right up.

Thank you! Siri was restricted even though my iPad3 was upgraded to iOS 6.

I had a very similar problem - iPad 3, upgraded to iOS 6, but no Siri. When I say "no Siri" I mean no option to set up or enable Siri under Settings - > General or otherwise. Siri was not installed with iOS 6, even though the upgrade appeared to complete without incident. I have seen postings by a few other users who have had the same problem.

I went through a complete set of troubleshooting steps with an Apple tech on the phone, including doing a complete reset of all iPad settings. Still, no Siri. In the end, I had to completely restore my iPad to the factory defaults to get Siri on the device by connecting the iPad to my computer and selecting "Restore" under the Version heading. When the factory wipe and restore completed, I had to set my iPad up from scratch under a completely new profile, not from my old backup.

The Apple tech's only explanation was that it must have been a failure of the updgrade to iOS 6. Now I am going to have to re-install, organize and set up all of my apps again.

Saw your issue trail on Siri not being present on iPad3, despite iOS6.01. I have same issue: did you get it solved. I am 100% sure I have iPad3....thanks

I had restrictions turned on,turn it off.

I Didn't get passbook either , but I did get clock and maps .

Same issue, no Siri even in restrictions section of the new iPad running latest iOS. I have both the iPad 2 and the this new iPad (3). Really don't want to wipe out everything.

When I initially set up my iPad, I mistakenly selected the option to set up without Siri. How do I recover Siri or re-install Siri on my iPad.
