Can't get dictation to work on my IMAC with ML

I have Mountain Lion up and working on my '09 Imac, and it shows dictation icon, etc but can't get it to show text in messages or in mail. Any ideas?

Is your Internet connection active while you're trying it?
And are you hitting the fn key twice to invoke it with the cursor blinking in the text field?

If you mean hiding or unhiding apps, the article is incorrect since iOS 6 and the accompanying iTunes Store redesign were released. You can at this time only hide and unhide apps through iTunes on your computere.

How can I get iCloud to work on my IMac?

I have an IMac, iPhone and now a MacBook. I have iCloud working on my MacBook and iPhone. How can I get it to work on my iMac 27" Both computers have Lion for the OS. Blessings...

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Just bought Ear Force Z11 - headset, can't get it to work on my iMac intel based on the Windows side

I have used Boot Camp on my iMac 21" early 2008 to partition and set-up Windows 7 so that I could use my FSX Flight simulator, I bought EarForce Z11 headset to use with my simulator and can't get it to work, has anyone else ran in to this problem? If anyone can help I would appriciate it, the computer recognizes that I plugged them in but I am only getting sound over the iMac speakers and nothing with the headset.

assuming it works on osx then
sounds like
1, the mixer in windows have muted the headset connection you can change that in the control panel
2. the driver for your audio card is not working 100% (read people say that the 32bit win7 don't have drivers from apple avaible)
with the right drivers it should work
my imac 21" have a splitter connected where I have external speakers from logitech and a skullcandy headset
connected both play and the internal imac speakers only make a sound at bootup at first
this is both in osx, was in win7 64bit and win8 64bit

HT3529 How can I get dictation for my iPad for use with email and messaging

How can I get dictation to use with messaging and email?

Apple's dictation requires Siri, which requires a 3rd or 4th generation iPad (or iPad Mini). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5457
Your post says you have a second generation iPad, so it will not have dictation.
There are third party apps available that might help you.

Can't get TouchEvent to work, what is wrong with my code?

Hello,
I am trying to get a touch event to trigger. Using my Motorola Droid 2 phone, I can get a MouseEvent to trigger, but I can't get a TouchEvent to trigger that would change text on screen.
I am using an AIR For Android Template in Flash Pro CS5.
Here is my code:
package {
     import flash.display.MovieClip;
     import flash.events.TouchEvent;
     public class Document extends MovieClip {
         public function Document() {
              stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, testing);
         public function testing(event:TouchEvent){
              debugTestbox.text = "Hello"
This results in nothing hapening.
However, when I make it a MouseEvent instead, it works.
Am I using TouchEvent wrong? If so, what is the correct way?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Nevermind, I figured something out. I imported Multitouch and MultitouchInputMode, then set Multitouch.inputMode to MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT and then replaced TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP with TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN. I'm gussing TOUCH_TAP is buggy because it didn't work even after making the previous changes. Regardless, TOUCH_BEGIN works for what I need.

Hello,
Take a look now everything should be working you just caught us in the middle of and upgrade.

Can't get my Imessage to work on my imac . I put my iphone # in and it said verifyiing then said email sent,but i never received an email now it says waiting to verify but by who.

Download the demo and activate with your serial number:

Be sure to follow the special instructions.
You will also probably need to run the un-installer first to clean up the old files.

I can't get it to work...imacs are authorized...cannot see my itunes. I followed all instructions.

Following all the instructions..but still can't see itunes

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions
Connect the drive. Then go to Macintosh HD > Applicaitons > Utilties > Disk Utility. Select the drive on the left hand pane and then click on the Erase tab. Then choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" from the drop down menu. Click "Erase". Quit Disk Utility.
I suspect the drive came in NTFS format which is now fairly standard for WindowsPCs. Although a Mac can read data on an NTFS drive it can't write data to it.
The iMac G4 1GHz 17" only has USB1.1 (12Mbps) so this drive will be very slow if you've got it connected by USB. However, if you have the iMac G4 1GHz 15", that has USB2.0 (480Mbps) so will be okay. Firewire is the fastest way to connect an external hard drive to a computer so use that option if you can.
Let us know how you get on.
cheers

Have a new 2GB shuffle. How can I get this to work on my iMac G4

Alas I am in the category of OS X 10.4.11 and I only have a 800Mhz processor and reading the minimum requirements for 10.5 of 867Mhz, it would seem that I cannot upgrade. It this correct?
Do you know where I can get the latest iTunes that my OS supports.
Would the latest shuffle work on this version of iTunes.
Currently only have iTunes 4.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You should be able to go to Apple> Support> Australia and click on iTunes
in the right side, to open the iTunes download; that is way too new of a
version for your computer configuration as-it-is.... iTunes 10.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/
If you choose an older version (I have iTunes 8.2.1 in one Mac OS X 10.4.11
and iTunes 9.2 in another; plus iTunes 10.1 in a Mac OS X 10.5.8) than 10,
it probably won't support the new iPod Shuffle.
• iTunes for G3: (works in G4s)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL857
• iTunes 9.2.1 download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
+The documentation accompanying the iPod would tell the minimum system+
+configuration needed for the product to work; so: OS X 10.5.8 & iTunes 10.1.+
You may be able to get OS X 10.5 to work, providing the computer could be tricked
into working with the Leopard 10.5 retail DVD install disc; there were a few ways of
doing so, as published online. A search could yield more, some very similar...
Here is one of those links to some information on the topic...
• Unsupported Leopard Installation:
http://www.lowendmac.com/osx/leopard/unsupported.html
You may be able to contact Apple Australia via the phone number, indicated
in the main online store's left-side header; to phone Sales support and ask
for a product specialist for Leopard OS X 10.5, as you need to get a full install
DVD to be able to upgrade the Mac. Of course, they are not expected to be in
any position to help you with an Unsupported Installation of this product.
• Apple (AU) Sales: 133-622 (they may refer you to an AppleCare specialist)
If for whatever reason the methods suggested in other sites do not work, you
may be stuck with a perfectly good Mac OS X 10.5 Install DVD; but that may
not be a problem since late PPC-based Macs and several older Intel-based
Macs could use a full install DVD.
Other than what has been suggested or discussed online, I have no experience
with this so far; although I did gift-away an iMac G4 17" 800MHz computer, that
would be a prime candidate for some unsupported upgrade; I may not help do it.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I get CS3 to open on new iMac with 10.6.4?

Just bought a new iMac and am trying to get everything moved over to it. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks & Contribute from CS3. When I try to open any of them (newly installed from the Adobe downloads) I get this error message:
file://localhost/Users/jeanetteg2/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202010-07-11%20at%206.39.27%20PM.p ngLicensing for this product has stopped working.
You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the
problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or
contacting your IT administratoror Adobe customer support for help.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still the same....
Tried out Dreamweaver CS5 and don't like the changes they've made - doesn't work near as well for me as my old CS3!

Did you look at the system requirements for CS3?
I am not sure about CS3, but I owned CS2. When I wanted to upgrade to CS4 (I usually skip a version because of the cost), my PowerPC was pretty much obsolete. CS4 requires an Intel-based computer. So I bit the dust and bought a new MacPro (intel-based). Consequently CS2 no longer works on my new Mac, and CS4 does not work on my wife's older Mac (her's is not intel-based). I think it's all a conspiracy to make us buy new computers and software .
good luck,
matt

How can I get rid of error 9705 on iMac with Firefox update, using Musicnotes site

I have been downloading successfully from musicnotes.com on this computer until the Firefox update. Help from that site took me through a whole process to be able to print out my purchase, which ended in the error message 9705. AppleCare says it is a Firefox problem. How can I fix this? (Time Machine was not running.)

I have this problem also and I've tried all the same things you have. None work. Only thing that works is disabling Java in Firefox preferences, which is a pain in the ass because most websites don't work properly when Java is disabled.
I don't know how to delete Java plugins or delete Java altogether and re-install. Is this possible? or wise?

Getting Cuda To work on An iMac with the GT 120 (256mb) And windows 7

Ok so this sounds like alot of incompatability, but i have My imac, not the new one, the last model. And i installed windows 7 x64. And other then The bootcamp driver its self not working, everything seems to be happy. I got my video card driver from Ms Update. Now i want to start using a few apps using CUDA, time to install. But when i try to install cuda, i get the message saying that no supported hardware is detected. any ideas?

Doesn't CUDA require a discreet graphic card just for that purpose?
