Dictation not working. Please help.
Just bought an iMac. Updated to mountain lion yesterday. Wanted to try Dictation, but doesn't seem to work. Have tried rebooting, changing language preferences, region preferences etc etc. but still not working. Three blue dots appeared and then disappeared. Please help.
I think that the best thread that resolves this issue for most involves many options/suggestions. I tried the above and it didn't work for me, but changing or adding DNS numbers under 'Network' in sys. preferences seems to have worked for me. What a frustrating experience though! I have a few glitches and I think I'll eventually do a clean install and hope that this resolves the issue. I've already spend money on doubleing my RAM, which seems to have helped (but not for this issue) the beachball issue, and bought an 8GB thumb drive to create an install disk to do a clean install. Now I just fear that I'm going to lose many files/folders, even though I use time machine to back up, I'm not convinced that it's best to reinstall from this as I think it may recopy all the 3 year garbage I have and result in the same issues. Ugh. I sort of regret 'upgrading' to Mountain Lion now, but there are a lot of cool features. Hopefully more updates are coming soon that will resolve some of the multitude of issues that people are talking about here. Here's the thread that resolved my issue, the first reply on page one that has the green 'this solved my issue' flag....https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4137078?start=0&tstart=0

After I updated my new Ipad with IOS 6, now Map& Dictation icon are not working. please help me
Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.
I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone. -
I installed windows 7 on my macbook pro. all is working but lan adaptor and sound od laptop is not working. please help me or send the link where i can download the these drivers.I have lost my resource cd .
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.
Read the Bootcamp Install Guide for your version of OSx. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Bootcamp questions should be asked in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp -

while updating 4.0 version to 5 version system shows sim card is not valid. My iphone is not working .Please help me
I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply -

The built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out.
the built-in mic in g50 122ca laptop model is not working. please help me out. OS: Windows Vista (32-bit)
here is a sample code .
so far you procedure looks good but
i bet you have to specify the name of report , instead of 'filename'.
see this
Plist_id := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
IF NOT ID_NULL(Plist_id) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(Plist_id);
END IF;
Plist_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('P_name');
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Receive_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Receive_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Hearing_time', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Hearing_time,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Issue_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Issue_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
ADD_PARAMETER( Plist_id, 'P_Workshop_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(Workshop_date,'mm/dd/yyyy'));
-- RUN_PRODCT(REPORTS,'..\Reports\Pro_License',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, Plist_id, NULL);
-- here Pro_License is the name of report.
did you tried to see if the parameter passed using a message ?
try
message('parameter name'); pause; write this before "run_report". -
