Define speakable command dialog box does not allow keyboard input

According to article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11447, one is supposed to easily be able to create speakable commands based on keyboard shortcuts:
Open the app that contains the shortcut you want.
Press the listening key (or speak the key, depending on your settings), and then speak the command “Define a keyboard command.”
In the “Define keyboard command” window, use the keyboard shortcut (such as Command-S), and then click OK.
Type the phrase you want to use to name the command, such as “Save document.”
Step 4 doesn't work, because the dialog box won't permit any input or even allopw the cursor to be in the field.
Any ideas on how to fix/work around this?

Apple doesn't routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • "save as" pop up box does not allow me to save the document.

    Hello ,
    "save as" pop up box does not allow me to save the document. Shows a blank screen. Any idea what would cause this? I just purchased acrobat pro dc.
    Thanks!

    Found this solution:
    The default "Save As" dialog in Acrobat DC is different than the dialog that you've had in earlier releases of Acrobat, it also allows you to save to the cloud and previous locations you've saved files to. It is possible that when Acrobat tries to connect to "the cloud", it runs into problems. You may want to try to turn this feature off to see if that brings your save as dialog back: Open up Acrobat's preferences, then go to the "General" category and deselect "Show online storage when saving files":

  • Image src dialog box does not appear

    Hello,
    For some reason when I click the insert image button in
    dreamweaver cs3, the image src dialog box does not appear any more.

    choose an image, anyone know how to fix this? Thanks,

  • Save As dialog box does not gain focus (bring to foreground) with Windows 7?

    Hello,
    I've got several users with Microsoft Windows 7 (64bit) and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (OEM) with the same problem.  When you go to Print to your PDF Printer, the Save As... dialog box does not come to the foreground and gain focus.  Most often it just sits in the taskbar blinking to get their attention.
    However the users get frustrated and often don't realize the Save As box popped up at all.  They did not have this problem with Windows XP.
    I actually can replicate the problem on my own PC.
    Any workarounds for this behaviour?
    Thanks,
    -Tim

    This appears to be a Windows 7 focus issue.
    You can back up your registry and try the fix below, it worked for me.
    Fix number 1
    1. Open Start >> Run and type “regedit” (without quotes)
    2. Navigate to the following path:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
    3. Right Click on the empty space and create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value named ‘ForegroundLockTimeout’, set or modify the value to 0. (this value will cause the application to take the focus instantly.)
    4. That’s it Done, exit registry and restart windows for changes to come into effect.

  • How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

    How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions.  I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC.  It has the option to change the dimensions.

    When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image?  Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

    Hi Noel,
    Actually, I just checked my scratch disk available space and it says ot is over 1.7 TB!!  I am only using the C drive as my scratch drive, as that is my only drive.  Anyway, I appreciate your help! Still will not function properly.  Maybe I should try reinstalling Photoshop.

  • Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; all the rest works, and in Opera it works; can you help? it seems everything else works fine

    Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; I tried in other languages too, it is the same error; it works fine with opera browser in this very same computer I am writing in; please help, if you can; it worked up to two months ago, then I don't know, too long has past from last time I used ryanair, and the rest works all fine, it seems... thanks so much for your time,

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Icloud backup dialog box will not allow me to unlock?

    I can't unlock my iPad the icloud backup dialog box will not go away

    The suggested solution is only for the symptom. There is a bug in iOS.
    My situation is much worse. My 80 year old Mother in-law bought a 4G iPad to keep in contact with her son overseas. Her retirement village has no WiFi so it it not possible to backup her iPad. The "This iPad has never been backed up" modal dialog locks up the machine. She is currently in hospital (doing well thankfully) but could have died and not been able to see her son because of this. It has caused her no end of grief over the last month.
    I've worked around the problem by using my WiFi but this is a fatal flaw that needs to be urgently addressed.

  • Printer dialog box does not appear in Photoshop CS.5

    I use Photoshop CS.5.1 with a Macbook 2013 using version 10.9.5. The printer works perfectly with all other applications but in Photoshop no printer dialog box comes up and the print job does not appear in the printers queue. Anyone the same issues?

    First, try nuking (deleting them and letting the application create new ones) your Photoshop preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Dialog Box does not function when called a second time

    I have created a dialog box that only seems to work once in a larger application. The box is designed to be a MatLab code debugger. My idea was to allow a user to interactively create/debug Matlab code from LabView using ActiveX automation. Anyway, I have created a test vi that uses this dialog box twice. The first time it is called it functions as expected, but the second time nothing on the front panel (of the dialog box) responds and I cannot close the window or interrupt the vi. I am using LabVIEW 7.0 on Windows 98. Please see the attached vi's. MatlabDebugger.vi is the dialog that's causing the problem. Matlabx2.vi is the sub vi that handles the ActiveX automation. Debuggertest.vi is the test v
    i in which the dialog will not word a second time.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    The problem is caused by the nested event structures; you have an event structure inside an event structure, acting on the same controls. When the main one reacts to the cancel the other one get's stuck...so on the next call the main event structure just halts due to the stuck event structure inside it. It's not obvious why this is a fault, you may be able to spot it now that you're on the track though.

  • Instrument I/O assistant configuration dialog box does not appear

    Hello,
    In the function pallette both input and output subpallettes have instrument assistant express vi.But, when I put in the block diagram window Instr I/O assistant configuration dialog box doesnot appear.I double clicked instr assistant icon but it did not work. Labview version is 7.1.Does anyone has clue to overcome this problem?
    Phylab
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello phylab,
    The Instrument I/O Assistant (IIOA) is used for easily communicating with GPIB instruments in Labview. For Labview version 7.1, the IIOA is available on the shipping reference driver CD. It should be automatically
    installed when you're prompted to enter the driver CD, through setup.exe. Is this your first time using it or has it worked in the past? Do you also have the NI-VISA and NI-488.2 drivers? And you installed the LabVIEW cd before the driver cd, correct? The fix should be to uninstall and reinstall IIOA from the device driver CD.

  • VI Server dialog box does not show

    I have an application that has a number of pop-up windows. Some of these are the built-in "File Dialog" VIs & some of them are my own modal windows (open when called, close when done). I have about 5 of my own and several built-in ones (like Yes/No Dialog boxes).
    I want to run a Web Server or VI Server to this application and am not sure how to best handle these pop-up windows. I would guess I would need a separate Web Publishing .htm file for each window, but of course the File Dialog does not have one. And I'm not sure what is the best approach using the VI Server.
    Any suggestions? I do not want to make an executable in my case as the program needs to run locally but be accessed remotely.

    The popups you're talking about called from the File Dialog VIs are windows system dialog boxes. These will need to be opened by a program on the remote machine somehow. This can be done either by remotely executing the code or modifying the code to use a different type of popup box native to whatever environment your client is running (for instance, google chrome has a prompt box). If you're running the whole thing in HTML you might look at http://www.javascripter.net/faq/confirm.htm for info on how to write a simple javascript dialog. I'm not sure I completely grasp your application, but regardless you're going to have to manage those popups from the remote execution environment. Just make sure you understand that the File Dialog ones are coming from windows system calls.

  • Compressor 4 insert DVD dialog box does not come up after rendering

    Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong when after rendering a DVD project, the process looks like its finished rendering but the insert DVD dialog box never comes up. 
    Very frustrating, but probably something dumb...
    Thanks

    Everything looks good in the Batch Window.
    I'm guessing permissions or preferences, assuming it's not hardware.
    Run Compressor Repair to flush things out…make sure the Trash Preferences box is checked.
    Run Disk Utlity, select your boot drive and Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't do it, in Job Action, change output device to Hard Drive and se whether it will make a disk image.
    Good luck.
