Can not Uncheck "Disable use of Dictation" when setting up Parental Controls

I am running ML 10.8.2 on a MBAir.
I logged in as the local administrator account and tried to set up the parental controls for the local student accounts. I unchecked the "Disable use of Dictation" but kept coming back as checked.
Any idea? Thanks much!

Unlock to allow changes to be made by clicking on the padlock icon.
type your password to unlock.
After you make your changes such as unchecking or checking boxes, click the lock again to lock it.
Restart the computer and see if it reverted back again.

System Preference freezes when setting up Parental Controls

Hi,
I am the Admin user of my MacBook Pro InteL C2D. I'm using Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11. I had set up a 'Standard' Account on my laptop for my flatmate to use. But when I click on the Parental Controls of this standard account, the whole preference pane freezes. And it stays that way until I force quit it. What could be the problem?
I literally gone through every forum regarding this problem and almost everyone of them says to delete the preference file(s). So, I deleted the preference.plist and preference.account.plist file from Preferences folder in Library. No use.
So, I ultimately backed up my data and went for a complete 'Erase and Install'. Sure the computer is a lot faster now, but the above problem still persists!!
Help please.
Cheers.

Hi nite41, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, when that completes...
Trash this file...
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
Reboot.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Any diff?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Hi there tamarafromdarien,
You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
“This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
Click the Account Information tab.
Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
If you're attaching a large file
Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

My problem is after updating to Yosemite does my mail client any longer. I can not even open the mail, and when I "forced closes" mail and try to open it again to go in the entered settings running the colored wheels around and allows me only to forcing close again? does anyone have a solution to the above problem?

You mean the default OS X mail app? Try reinstalling OS X Yosemite if that's the case.
If you are referring to 3rd party mail applications, that's a compatibility issue. Some apps don't work in the new operating system. You have to wait until the developer updates the app, or you have to revert back to Mavericks to continue using it.

"Open In Excel" button inside the Xlviewer.aspx page return Error and I can not open excel using local office

Inside the xlviewer.aspx page when I click on "Open In Excel" at first I receive this Error:
Some files contain viruses that can be harmful to your computer. it is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy sourceDo you want to open this file?
Then, When I click on Yes, the second error message(below) shows and I can not open Excel using my local Excel Application.
This action couldn't be performed because office doesn't recognize the command it was given.
I should notice that the application is published under the HTTPS protocol.
It is just working with IE 9.0. Neither Chrome nor IE after 9.0.

Sure. I posted here since I suspect that the lastest upgrade may have a bearing on it.
What do I need to move it over to Number and Lion?

You are supposed to be able to set up an account without a credit card. See HT2534 - Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card.
If you've already created the Apple ID that you want to use and are now being asked for a credit card try the method given here. If you use this I'd be interested to know how you get on because I haven't yet had the time to try it myself.

Does your external hard drive have it's own power supply? It should.
Is your external hard drive formatted with the NTFS file system? It won't work.
It needs to be formatted either with Mac OS Extended or FAT32.
(There are drivers available to add NTFS support to OS X but their quality is unknown, especially the "free" ones.)

The borders of the window cannot be draged larger. As a result, I can not uncheck or check some box's on several of the preferences pages. The Apple people at the store did not help. I have lownloaded the latest version of iTunes and this is still an issue. HELP.

Is there really nobody else with this problem? Really?

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
