Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal

Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal & external microphones. Any suggestions?

Does the onscreen microphone come up but it doesn't convert speech to text? Or does the onscreen microphone not appear at all?
In System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Dictation, is the microphone set to "Automatic"? You might try setting it to "Internal microphone" to see if it works.
Have you tried restarting the iMac?

  • My new imac has stopped working!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!

    I turned my imac on this evening to find that after the grey apple screen, the 'Loading Mac OSX' screen comes on and then goes off and a black screen comes up.
    On this black screen it says:
    Login Apr 22 ntpd[148]
    Can't open /var/run/ntpd.pid input/output error
    Please help me, i don't know whats wrong and what to do to fix it. I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off. When i turned it back on - still the same thing.
    I have only had my imac for about 4 days... don't want to have to take it back already... just as i have finished copying all my files.
    Thanks for any help in advance

    Hello! At this point the first thing to try is to boot from the install cd/dvd. With the disk inserted hold down the "c" key at startup. Once booted run diskutility repair disk. You'll have to navigate within the installer window. If you can't get the tray open hold down the bouse button and turn it off and back on to open the tray. Tom

  • The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • ITunes has stopped working right in the middle of updating my new iPhone 4 software...

    I just bought the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and plugged in into iTunes. It did a lot of updating and downloading. It says right now under Summary, Software Version: 5.1. And the Updating iPhone software bar has stopped moving right in the middle of the line. My iPhone has that image of the USB with the white arrow below the iTunes logo on the screen right now.
    I cannot exit iTunes or the pop-up will say that the iPhone is being updated, do not exit iTunes.
    I am really unsure of what to do here. I tried two different iPhone USB plug-ins and that didn't help.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

  • Adobe Extension Manager CC Has Stopped Working - Anyone having the same issue? Please help.

    This is part of a paid subscription but it has stopped working.
    I have re-installed but no dice, says the same thing.
    Any ideas as to what the problem is?

    I can certainly give you details relating to my problem. I downloaded jsp support for Dreamweaver. I am attempting to install the extension and Adobe Extension Manager CC instantly crashes, providing the popup message stating,
    "Adobe Extension Manager CC has stopped working.
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.
    ->Close the program"
    Pretty vague if you ask me, but quite typical for Adobe.

  • Licensing has stopped working is just the beginning...

    About a month ago I got the error "Licensing has stopped working" when I tried to launch Photoshop CS3. I followed the steps on the forum
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-stopped-windows.html
    finally uninstalled and reinstalled and my whole Creative Suite was working fine.
    Suddenly a few days ago I got the same "Licensing has stopped working" error and decided since none of the other steps helped the last time except the uninstall, that I would uninstall and reinstall AGAIN.
    Now when I try to reinstall I get the following message:
    Installation/Reinstallation Completed
    Some problems occured during installation. Please see below.
    Summary
    Successfully installed 2 components:
    Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
    Shared Components
    Errors: 6 components
    Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard
    Component install failed
    and so on for Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Version Cue CS3 Server and Shared components.
    Support will not help me because I do not have CS5.5. If you have had this happen to you please offer any advice. I was not planning to upgrade just yet.
    Other information:
    I am running CS3 Creative Suite on Windows Vista. It was purchased through the student program while I was in college. It was working perfectly fine until the licensing issue first appeared a month ago.

  • My iTunes isn't working? It keeps coming up with 'iTunes has stopped working' and closes the program?

    My iTunes closes itself everytime I open it after saying 'iTunes has stopped working'. It's really frustrating and I am rubbish with computers so not sure what to do
    can anyone help me?

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

  • "Firefox has stopped working" message everytime the browser is closed

    Everytime I close the browser, I get "Firefox has stopped working" message. I have Firefox 18 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
    I also uninstalled and re-installed firefox but the issue still remains

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
