Caps Dictation Commands Not Working Anymore

I used to be able to say "all caps" and have dictation capitalize the following word or say "caps on" and have dictation capitalize the first letter of each word. Recently it started just typing out all caps or caps on. This leads me to believe it's recognizing my words correctly but not recognizing them as commands. Anyone else having this issue or have thoughts on a solution?
Thanks,
Dave

Well, yes and no...
Yes, they are separate in that dictation lives on some devices w/o Siri. But not the other way around. I.e. On my iPhone 4S, there's a single switch in Settings>Siri which is on or off.
If you turn Siri off, the dictation mic icon in the keyboard is gone. Dictation is turned off as a system-wide option. You can still use a speech-to-text app such as Dragon to dictate.
I believe that it was revealed that Nuance was involved in the speech recognition engine that runs both Siri and the iOS dictation.
But I'm with you: I used the free Dragon dictation app for almost two years on my iPhone 4. And while like you, I like it, it's no where near as convenient as having dictation in any place the keyboard appears.
I spent a lot of time with the highest level of Apple support last time, when turning Siri off & on fixed the problem with the caps (and spaces) commands in dictation. Not this time. And I did lose some of the training.

Are dictation commands not working?

Are commands within dictation not working fully? Is there a list of valid commands you can use to work in dictation? I can't figure out how to delete text and it will not let me start a new paragraph or a new line in a word document.
I am running ML, dictation is enabled and running.

You can create a new line by saying new line. Speak punctuation and it will by entered. You can also say all caps and all caps off to turn caps on/off. You can't delete text as you are dictating it.
There are a few others too, like if you say smiley face it will type :-). I don't know if there is an official list, but if you search online you may be able to find one.

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark.
If that didn't help, check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari.
If Extensions aren't the issue, reset Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Shift-Command-R does not work anymore

Hello all,
I've noticed that the shortcut shift-command-r does not work anymore on my macbook pro. I used it for the calendar to refresh all calendars, and its also handy to open the reader in safari 5.
When I open the keyboard viewer from the language and text menu I can see it when I press shift, then command but when I press "R" nothing changes, only shift+command stay highlighted. Other letters do work, so its a bit strange.
Anyone know a solution for this?
Thank you in advance

Nope thats not the problem, the listening key is Esc. It is as if the keyboard does not register it when the R is pressed in combination with the shift and the command together. As I said, the keyboard viewer shows every keystroke except the shift-command-r combi.

Shift + Command + 3 not working anymore

Hi there!
Strangely as of yesterday I can't get the screenshot shortcut ( Shift + Command + 3 ) working anymore (it did work quite well for the last years).
Does anyone have an idea how that could be? Or how I could troubleshoot this?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Delete this file: com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
See if that helps...

Plus sign not working anymore for distribution group

Without our Outlook client it was possible to make a New E-mail, enter a part of the distribution group, pressing control-k to force lookup the group and it was resolved. With the plus sign you can expand the requested ditribution group. Now this is not
working anymore. Does anyone know that there is maybe an option why this do not work anymore?
Within the image you can see that this worked. This is not working anymore.

Hi,
What does "Now this is not working anymore" mean? Does it mean you didn't get the Expand List warning or it didn't expand the distribution group when clicking plus sign?
Does this issue happen to all users and all distribution groups?
If you mean you didn't the Expand List warning, we can try this to get it back:
Open your Registry Editor and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Outlook\Options\General (where xx is the version of your Office.)
Look for and open the PONT_STRING value, you'll see a list of numbers in the Value box. Remove number
13 from the list and test again.
If you mean that clicking the plus sign didn't expand the group, we may try to open Outlook in safe mode and test again. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook /safe and press Enter.
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

Standard shortcut for "flow" does not work anymore

Hi there :-)
The standard shortcut for setting the flow of a brush or stamp does not work anymore. When using shift + 0-9 nothing happens. It works correctly for the opacity when I use 0-9.
When I turn on the airbrush-mode it's not switching the commands entirely... Flow is still not settable with 0-9 but opacity cannot be set either by shift + 0-9.
I can access the opacity by hitting "enter" and then use the tab to switch to the flow but that's not what I wanna do.
Can anyone help my to find out what happened to These commands? The Shift-keys work fine btw... I'm using them for other commands (in and outside of PS) .
If anyone knows how to change these standard hotkeys let me know as well.
Thnx, Michelle

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

I had somebody work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, 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.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

My Polygonal Lasso Tool does not work anymore

I have Adobe CS4 for macs. Just today, everytime I enclose an area with my polygonal lasso tool, it stopped closing the area and instead gives me the message "No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selected edges will not be visible." I must have accidentally pressed something by mistake that makes the lasso tool not work anymore but I don't knoow what. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Or do I need to reset photoshop? Any ways to reset it? I tried holding option,command shift but it still did not reset my photoshop to its original settings.I also rebooted my computer several times with no success. Thank you for any help you guys can give.

When you try to reset the preferences you need to keep holding down the Shift+Cmd+Option keys even after starting photoshop until you get a dialog similar to below:
(resetting the cs4 preferences should have set the feather to 0 px)

T530 - Caps Lock Indicator Not Working

Sporting Windows XP (32-bit) on my T530 and as of recently, Caps Lock indicator has stopped working. Mute, Volume, Screen Brightness indicators are working as per usual, only CL indicator is not working anymore. Tried upgrading Lenovo Hotkey Features, rebooted but still no go. Also, I can't remember where do I find settings for Caps Lock indicator? IIRC, it should be somewhere in Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/OSD, but it disappeared. I can only enable/disable OSD, adjust fade-out time and background/foreground color(s). Options for Caps Lock indicator are missing. Anyone experiencing similar problems?
T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro
L430: i3-2370M, 4 GB DDR3-1600, HD 3000, 320GB 7200RPM, 6-cell, HD 1366 x 768, Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

I had the same problem. The newest hotkeys integration package is gevu60ew.exe and it has problems on XP. Here is how I fixed it:
Download gevu60ew.exe from the Lenovo website.
Install gevu60ew.exe, don't reboot.
Run the installation again from C:\Drivers\Hotkey\setup.exe.
Choose the uninstall option and uninstall everything you see.
Reboot.
Go to your program files directory and delete the folder "%ProgramFiles%/Lenovo/HOTKEY".
Download and install gevu43ww.exe, don't install the patch.
I found the file gevu43ww.exe here (but if you've used System Update it's probably already saved on your computer, do a search for it):
www.filefobia.com/goto/download/29321/10
Reboot.
Should be fixed, no promises but it worked for me.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Muse not working anymore

Hello, Alex here
since the last update Adobe Muse is not working anymore for me. The sites open normally but then the Master Pages don't load properly and it freezes all the time.
Does it ring a bell for someone?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Alex

Hi Alex,
Could you please let me know,
1. What is the size of your .muse file?
2 Try to duplicate the .muse file, open it, and try to reduce child pages, and see if you get some improvement.
3. Do you have asset on Network drive, if yes, add these asset to local drive and then use them, see if that helps.
4. Are you using Mac/Windows?
Please let me know these details, and I will try to investigate.

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
Graziee

Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

On my Dell XPS L401X laptop, there is a key to lock/unlock the touchpad. It used to work fine on Windows and on new fresh install ArchLinux, but now it does not work anymore. If I remember correctly, I did not change, configure any shortcut so far.
Any hint to fix this problem?
Many thanks!
