You dictate after you open a blank page in any text editor. The text goes on the page.
You can use Text Edit for example (in your applications folder).
With the blank page open, go to the Edit menu and select Start Dictation. When you are finished, you save the file as you would any other document. You can retrieve it, edit it or anything else you want, because it is a file like any other you create with that text editor.

    If you "Save" a photo it goes to your Camera Roll in the Photos App.
    If you merely "Copy" a photo it doesn't go anywhere until you "Paste" it somewhere as, for example, into a email or document.
    Well if you want to get technical about it ...

  • My iPhone 4S shows I have over 6 GB of memory used for mail yet the mailboxes are more or less empty.  Where is the memory going and how can I reduce it?

    I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
    But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

  • Where does downloaded software go and how can I access it and install it?

    Often when I try to download and install software, a dialoge box comes up telling me that my only option is to save the software upon downloading. After it completes the download, I have absolutely no idea where the software has gone or how to access it so I can install it!
    First, I'd like to know where my downloaded software goes so I can install the things I need to install. Second, is there a way that I can change the settings for downloads so that things don't go to a mysterious location, unbeknownst to me? If I'm downloading something, that means I want to install it 99.9% of the time right then and there!
    Thank you,
    Andrea

    Open the Downloads window - {Ctrl + J} - and right-click the file that was downloaded, select '''Open Containing Folder'''. Your downloaded file is there.

  • Where is the DDE Palette and how can I change the icons in the user vi-libraries?

    I am using a german version of LV6.02. I can't find the DDE vi's in the function palette, even though the dde.llb exists alongside the other communication vi-libraries (HiQ, ActiveX). I tried copying dde.llb into user.lib, but the icon doesn't appear (yes, I did restart LV).
    The second part of my question: is it possible to edit the icon (symbol) and the name of a user vi-library? The menu EDIT>EDIT FUNCTION AND CONTROL PALETTES does not appear in the LV version I am using.

    In order to edit a palette in LabVIEW 6, click on the options button that is on the top row of either the Functions or Tools palette. You can use this to either edit the icon, name or add the DDE functions. I suspect that the DDE functions were removed from the palette because DDE is pretty much obsolete technology. Microsoft wants everyone to use ActiveX instead.

    New to apple. When I copy text, where does it go and how can I retrieve it?

    You retrieve it by pasting it somewhere.  It works just like copy/paste on a computer.

    You must have a valid form of payment for the app store in the country you are using. Most app stores are separate legal entities to comply with local laws. It is possible to have an account without a credit card, however; see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • HT3743 I got an error no 1015 ! what does it mean ? and How Can I solve this issue?

    I got an error no 1015 ! what does it mean ? and How Can I solve this issue?

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • HT4796 Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.
