I am missing Speakable Items in the Speech commands window

Hi there,
I just realized that I can't command any speakable actions, I have NO commands in place in the speech commands window, and my -/user/library/speech/speakable items folder is empty.
I am administrator and single user of my Mac
I have no idea why it is empty, i suppose it has been like this from the day I have installed OSX, years ago now.
I have tried to install OSX from scratch on a separate partition, and of course, with this new system, the commands are in the proper place and the speech commands works.
However, when I re-import my profile with the SetUp assistant from the original partition, all the commands are lost, since the Speakable items folder is under my personnal home directory, it has just been copied, and left empty by the assistant with all my profile.
Can anyone help me and tell me which items i should copy from/to where to have the speech commands working ????

Same here.
I copied the Speakable Items folder from my old computer, but it still won't work.
I hope you get an answer!
ANSWER! - I had the same problem. Open up your Speech and turn off speakable. Than go to commands select address book click on configure if there is any Name that has (NUL) uncheck it. than go and turn on speakable again. Your commands should be there!
It worked for me! Good Luck!

  • When i double click on and item in the firefox downloads window the item dosn't open, left clicking on the item still dose not give me the choice to "open". how to fix this problem thanks

    When i double click on an item in the firefox dowloads window the item dos'nt open.Left clicking on the item dose not give me the choice to "open" the item.
    the downloaded item is a pdf file of 59 kb, and was downloaded using adobe acrobat version 5

    I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
    I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
    And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
    All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
    Command N
    I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

  • Tiger 10.4.6.!! The speech feedback window simply wont come up!

    Hey,
    All of the computer geniuses please help!
    I have an ibook G4 that runs on OS X TIger 10.4.6. with 1.5 DDR SDRAM and 60 GB of harddisk.
    I am quite new to the whole apple os and recently, I found something called speech on my system preferances.
    The first time I tried it, it was great and i even played chess on it,
    but when i restarted the computer and tried to use it again, the speed feedback window simply didnt come up.
    I tried the toggling the buttons on and off. I even tried after trashing the "com.apple.speech.recognition.feedback.prefs.plist" but that made no difference.
    Please tell me what to do!

    I suspect this is yet another manifestation of the Address Book problem!
    Please try the following:
    0) Open Address Book.
    1) Go through each entry shown as a "company" and ensure that there actually is a company name (make up a dummy one if necessary).
    2) Quit Address Book.
    3) Restart.
    4) Try the Speech Commands again.
    Please let us know how you get on…

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • Open a command window and send some keystroke to the opened command window

    Hi All,
    I am trying to open command prompt and send some key stroke to that command prompt. Here I am using Robot to send keystroke. But the problem is, the keystrokes are not sent to the prompt. I guess I need to activate progamitically the command prompt to accept the keystrokes . Please find the code below ( as I did).
    try
    String command = "cmd.exe /c start";
    Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
    Robot robot = new Robot();
    Thread.sleep(5000);
    String lol = "indranil";
    for(int i=0;i<lol.length();i++)
    robot.keyPress(lol.charAt(i));
    int g = lol.length() - 1;
    robot.keyRelease(lol.charAt(g));
    catch (Exception e) {}
    I guess I am doing some mistake here while sending the keystroke/openning the command prompt. Can anyone please help me how can I open a command window and send some keystroke to the opened command window. I am in fix.
    Thanks,
    Indranil

    The first thing to do is read the API and examples for the Robot class.

    Is there a way to leave Speakable Items on and have it go to sleep?

    Hi Chacham,
    This is a bug that arose in Leopard, persisited through Snow Leopard and Lion, and still persists in Mountain Lion.  After you start your computer with Speakable Items active, it will obey your Sreensaver and Energy Saver preferences only until you give your first spoken command.  After that first spoken command, your computer will no longer obey the Screensaver and Energy Saver preferences you have set.  I discussed this with Apple Technical Support back when I was using Snow Leopard and they had no solution.  In fact they reproduced the problem on their own machines.
    Hey Apple software engineers, why can we not talk to our Macs without clobbering our Sreensaver and Energy Saver preferences?  This has gone on far too long.
    Ted.

  • Option missing on Items on the Dock Icons

    I find that on the applications that i have positioned on the Dock that i can no longer right click and see the windows that the program has open.
    For instance for Excel, if i had three spreadsheets open then i could right-click and then select which one i wanted to go too.
    I also used to be able to right click or control click on a icon and select force quit, or quit, that is no londer available.
    The Mail program no londer goes to the dock so that i can open it again to see the mail, i have to go to the applications folder and open it again.
    it used to minimize to the dock.

    If the application is hung-up, the "Quit" option when you right click on any item in the Dock will autmoatically say "Force Quit". If the Mac thinks the application is running normally you can hold down the "option" key and then right click on the item in the Dock to reveal the "Force Quit" option.
    I'm assuming you've mentioned MS Outlook 2011 for the Mac. I can reveal all windows and select one to switch to through the "Show All Windows" option.

  • The speech feedback window won't open

    I tried turning the speakable items off then on in system preferences and restarting, and also deleting the plist file, neither worked. Thanks for any help.

    Hello!
    Did you trash this .plist file? com.apple.speechrecognition.plist ??
    It's here: Home/Library/Preferences. Reboot. If that doesn't help, trash this one also: com.apple.universalaccess.plist. Reboot. If that doesn't fix the problem you can trash your com.apple.systempreferences.plist but you will have to reset system preferences system wide. Just do one at a time first before you do the latter.
    Also, when you post here could you please indicate exactly which Mac OS you are running? If you aren't sure where to locate this information, click the Apple logo top left in your Desktop, then click About This Mac. A pane will open and tell you which version... thanks!

  • Supressing the Java command window ???

    Hi,
    How do I get rid of the command window from where I start my Java Application ?
    Even if there is a way what will happen to all the System.out.println() calls in my applicatio ?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can just not start the Java application from a command window or batch file. The easiest way to do this is to create an executable JAR file which a person (on Windows) can just double-click. Do a search on "executable JAR".

  • Again...Suppressing the Java Command Window

    Hi,
    My invoking my java application with "javaw", I'm able to suppress the command window.
    None of the System.out.println() is now seen. Thanks for that.
    But there is another problem that I see.
    In my application, I run some batchfiles using the Runtime.exec
    with the "cmd" parameter. This is making a separate command window
    pop up from no where.
    This pop up is happening for every call I make ? Can this be avoided at all ???
    Or should I live with it ??
    Many Thanks

    You may have to live with that cause cmd runs with its own window. I haven't used this very much but for the little I have done, I can't ever seem to get it to hide, unless you decide to use START to run the activity and then call EXIT in the batch file so it closes as soon as it is done.

  • Adding more statements to the sql commands window

    Hi, I'm using oracle database express edition10g and I just started using oracle.
    And I'm having a problem adding more then one statement inside the sql commands gui window.
    I write:
    CREATE TABLE "testTable" (
         "field1" VARCHAR2(2),
         "field2" NUMBER(2,0),
         "field3" NUMBER(2,0),
         CONSTRAINT "Test_PK" PRIMARY KEY("field1")
    Oracle reports: table created
    I write
    DROP TABLE testTable;
    CREATE TABLE "testTable" (
         "field1" VARCHAR2(2),
         "field2" NUMBER(2,0),
         "field3" NUMBER(2,0),
         CONSTRAINT "Test_PK" PRIMARY KEY("field1")
    Oracle reports: ORA-00911: invalid character
    I remove the ; char
    ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
    I look in the help files and it sais that ; / and nothing is allowed to end a operation.
    I gues ; is a valid char so it's reporting something else?
    I tried pasting my code inside wordpad and even retyping it. Mayby I have a hidden char? =>same error.
    When I run drop and create seperatly it works.
    When I run both sql statements inside sql+ it works
    What m I doing wrong?

    To run multiple SQL in one shot, you need to save them as SQL batch file,
    Save your statements as recreate.sql
    DROP TABLE testTable;
    CREATE TABLE "testTable" (
    "field1" VARCHAR2(2),
    "field2" NUMBER(2,0),
    "field3" NUMBER(2,0),
    CONSTRAINT "Test_PK" PRIMARY KEY("field1")
    );Then call it from SQLPlus,
    @recreate.sql

  • Missing menu items in the 'File' menu? Missing 'Place..' option?

    Hello there!
    I use photoshop everyday to edit pictures and thumbnails for Youtube and videos, but recently I've noticed that the 'Place' option from the File Menu has gone missing? I've checked to see if I might have accidentally hidden the visibility of 'Place' within the File Menu, but it doesn't even appear in the Hidden Menu settings? I have no idea how this happened, but I think it may be a plugin issue, because I cannot find one trace of it within the Photoshop application! Any help would be fantastic!
    Thank you!

    Have a read of this: Photoshop CC 14.2 update – Linked Smart Objects
    Glad I could help.

  • Missing Admin Items on the C F Administrator

    I am running 6.1 updater 1. Went to set concurrent users and

    before upgrading to 6.1 updater 1. I also can't find a resources
    tab to make changes to allow cfregistry on a certain path.
    It is like this is a control panel for a sub-admin system for
