Siri Won't Launch Apps

*****- sorry to hear that it didn't work the same on your ipad- I remember at the Apple Store- after I did the Erase all datack and restore- after that was completed- the very next thing we did was test out Siri with all of my apps- and once we verified they all launched the way they are suppose to- I then did the download dump from icloud- not sure if that would work for you- (just trying to help) good luck... Jason

Hi curious if you were able to get your ipad and Siri goning/working ? I was in the Apple store yesterday in Seattle and there were people with the same issue waiting at the genius bar for their appointment--- so made me think about your situation- thanks Jason

Siri can't find any of my apps on my ipad 3 or contacts or settings. So far the only thing Siri found was the weather.

hello dude ;

have you got a reply for you're question ? im having the same issue . if you have got an answer for it can you please contact me ? my email blackcode49@gmail.com

thanks!

I recently updated both my 4S and iPad 3 to 6.1 and restored from backup and I'm having the same issue. apps are not being recognized. my 4S doesn't see *any* apps including the default built in apps like calendar or clock, and the iPad 3 recognizes only the built in apps but can't find any of my third party apps...

Is there any update to this issue?

Thanks,

I'm having similar issue on my 4S, Siri seems to open only the Apple apps, other than the apple apps I get the message "You don't seem to have an app name 'the name of the none apple app'."

I try to open facebook, and you see the question recognized by siri and spelled correctly but when it opens the app it opens Passbook instead of facebook! it's frustrating! iphone 4s, ios 6.1.1 clean restore ...what's going on!

Apple don't seem to get their act togther anymore!😟

This happened to me today- siri was working normal at work- got in my car and Siri wouldn't lunch any apps, turned Bluetooth off and still didn't work- got home and back on wifi and Siri worked again. If I kill wifi at home Siri stops opening apps, turn wifi back on and it's fixed. Looks like a network issue. I'm on AT&T on 4s. Siri works normal on my iPad on Verizon LTE. Odd

Well resetting network setting fixed this for me- but seeing as many of you did full restores I doubt it's a universal fix

Hey Guys,

I fixed the problem on my iPhone 4S. I had upgraded to 6.1.1 from 6.1 (but I don't think it's really related to 6.1.1) the main difference was that when i unlocked and setup my device for the first time right after the restore to 6.1.1 (prior to restoring from an itunes backup), I setup icloud instead of selecting "skip this step".

I had to go through the setup wizard because I "escaped from certain shackles". Not sure how many of you here do the same.

In anycase, Try going through the setup wizard on the device prior to restoring from a backup (either itunes or icloud), and make sure to go through the icloud setup (don't skip it!).

FYI, I also tried resetting network settings and that didn't help. I was also getting battery issues which prompted me to upgrade to 6.1.1. No battery issues anymore (even though I restored from a backup)

Whats up guys,

I started with this problem today, I have an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.2....

I was about to restore to try to solve this problem but fortunately I read this post and for me the problem was solved just turning off wifi. Siri do not open my apps when I am conected to my wifi network, if I'm over 3G it works perfectly.

Same issue here, iPhone 5 6.1.2, Siri wont launch app (3rd party or original app) same issue on 3g and wifi...

If you have iFile or use iphonebrowser you can try this fix from Skander.

Thank you! Solved deleting

/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore

(Deleting the other file cause disappear of all non-standard app icons, so i restored it to my old one after the reboot)

I have the same problem with Siri not being able to launch any apps. I have iphone 5 and IOS 6.1.2. I recall that I did a sync or backup to icloud and then doing a backup to my macbook using itunes. I think that this might have created the problem.

Thank you for the solution of deleting the two cache files and restarting. This did fix the issue for me.
