I just recently got the new iPod Touch 5 gen, but it doesnt have Siri. When I hold down the home button it goes to voice control. How do I get Siri or turn it on?

Siri is off by default. To turn on go to Settings>General>Safari.

For the crackling try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
