Dictation won't work mountain lion

I have a macbook with mountain lion. I can't get dictation to work in imessenger. Any ideas?

Dictation has now started working of sorts. I suspect I wasn't waiting long enough for it to return from Apple's servers. But it's still making chop suey out of what I dictate. I've alwyas had that issue with Dictation.

I recently bought a WD My Book Live to backup using Time Machine, now that I've upgraded to and my old NAS won't support Mountain Lion. The WD drive appears in the Finder, it doesn't appear as an option when setting up the backup disc in Time Machine.

" now that I've upgraded to and my old NAS won't support Mountain Lion. "
Do you have a few words missing in the original question ?.
When i upgraded from LION to MOUNTAIN LION it made NO difference at all to my MyBook Live !!!
reading the original post again and again, do you in fact have two My Book Live units, an old one and a new one ?

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion. Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

I have applications which won't work now lion 10.7 is installed do I have to re-install them all?

I have just installed li0n 10.7 on my computer and some other applications now won't work. Do I need to re-install these ?

Depends on what they are.
If they are old, PowerPC based programs, they won't work under Lion. If they are Universal applications, then reinstalling might work. However, you should check with the developer to see if there are any updates.

Does logic pro 8 work mountain lion?

I've updated my Mac Xeon with Mountain Lion and now my Logic Pro 8 is giving me a midi conflict error. How can I fix this or does Logic Pro 8 even work Mountain LIon? Can anyone help me?

I know.. I have both read and taken part in that thread but again....
The majority of peopole who run Logic 9.1.8 and Lion or now Mountain Lion do not have those issues... and because they do not, they don't post in such threads.. so you get a distorted view of the true numbers of people with problems.
Those that do have issues, will naturally post up in such threads... but that doesn't mean they are the majority of users... They are just the 'loudest' and quite rightly so.
I will also say that for me personally, 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.5/9.1.6 was and still is the most stable platform for Logic of all of the various combinations available... but apart from an annoying issue with the "airplay' dialog box that keeps popping up in 9.1.8 with ML... and the GUI lag affecting a few plugins.. I don't have any major issues with Logic and ML... so I can happily live and work with that setup...
Finally, it's also worth noting that with my own client base.. initially with Lion and then Mountain Lion the number of clients who had problems was much higher.. Probably closer to 20-25% had issues.. but most of those issues were resolved by updates to incompatible drivers/3rd party plugins and so on...
Once those kind of issues were resolved... as I said earlier, the number of my clients who still have major issues running uner Lion or ML with Logic Pro 9 has dropped to less than 5%... and to me, that respresents a minority of all users... like it or not.

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

So my 8core 2007 'FutureProof' Mac Pro won't run Mountain Lion - any work arounds?

Can it really be true that it's the end of the OS upgrading line for my 2007 MacPro?
Surely someone out there knows a way to get around this? After holding out for Mountain Lion
while switching from MobileMe to iCould in the 'knowledge' that it wasn't necessary to get Lion first, I thought I
could survive a few weeks!... Just to be disappointed!?! Please say it isn't so!...

If you google you will find a step by guide. It's not the easiest process in the world but seems doable. Good luck

Voice dictation,Dragon Express and Mountain Lion

Are there any other users out there who want decent voice dictation software that doesn't depend upon being online all the time and speaking to the clouds?
Not everyone can be online all the time: moreover there's an old saying that 'walls have ears' - well there's a new saying that 'clouds have ears' . The new dictation facility that comes with Mountain Lion is quite a promising catch-up application, but it only works if you are online to the clouds. But the cheap price of the ML upgrade comes at a hidden cost. I recently bought Dragon Express for £39 from the App Store to use for voice dictation and have found out that it does not work under Mountain Lion.
I used to use IBM Via Voice for the Mac but that did not survive the change from System 9 to System X. Will Nuance get fed up with Apple's policy towards 3rd party developers and will they let their Dragon voice software for the Mac go the same way?

Intriguing, someone left it on "works fine" on http://roaringapps.com/app:402 for both Lion and Mountain Lion on version 7.2.3, yet when you look at the versions 7, 8, and 9 of Logic Express under the Versions section of the website, nobody was able to get it to work. Given that is the case, I edited the status to "some problems." I'll ask your post get redirected to the Logic Express forum to get the facts.

Bonjour sleep proxy not working; Mountain Lion (10.8.1, 10.8.2) not waking up for remote management, itunes library

Since updating to 10.8.1 (I'm currently on 10.8.2), my Mac Mini no longer wakes for network access.
That is, when I attempt to connect remotely to the computer (i.e., mac mini is at home, I am at work), the computer never wakes up.
I have an Airport Extreme 2011, I believe; I updated it to the latest firmware a week or two ago. (Now that I think about it, maybe it was after this firmware update that the Bonjour sleep prox stopped working?)
Ideas?
My system:
Mac Mini (2011) with 8gb RAM
[added 2nd hard drive -- SSD]
Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Connected via ethernet cable to an Airport Exreme (2011)

Since upgrading to 10.8.2 I have had this issue.
I have 'Wake for Network Access' enabled but I am unable to wake my Mac Pro from my AppleTV2 using Home Sharing.
If I reset the PRAM, WOL works the first time the Mac goes to sleep but after that it wont work.
The Mac Pro still periodically wakes up (as in the fans and HDDs spin up, no GUI) to keep the network address alive but nothing can actually wake it, (except once on the first sleep after PRAM reset).
This was not an issue prior to 10.8.2.
I have also noticed since upgrading to 10.8.2 that after waking the Mac, it takes approximately 10-15 seconds for the network to re-connect. This is via a wired ethernet connection.
This also was not an issue prior to 10.8.2.
I really hope this is fixed with 10.8.3.

Facetime won't work after Lion install... No mic from isight

After installing Lion on my 2010 mac mini, Facetime won't recognize my firewire isight mic. Video comes in from the isight, but it doesn't find it as an audio input choice. System preferences recognizes it and hears your voice, but not Facetime. You can Facetime with someone but they won't hear you. Skype still works fine on Lion using the same isight (audio &video).... tried resetting PRAM but still nothing... C'mon Apple.. Lion and Facetime need a fix here!! I've read others are experiencing same issue!!

In Lion, neither the previous version of FaceTime Version 1.1 (258) from OS X 10.7.1 nor the current Version 1.1.1 (262) from OS X 10.7.2 can use external iSight's Firewire mic.
The firewire iSight camera works with Lion's FaceTime, but the iSight's Firewire mic is not available for selection in FaceTime > Video. One alternative is to use another video chat app such as iChat or Skype. Both iChat and Skype can use external iSight's mic in Lion (and earlier Mac OS versions.)

Safari and iChat won't work after lion upgrade

I just completed an upgrade to lion on my 2010 Mac mini and after reboot, safari won't open a web page..it just gets stuck with the blue loading bar about 1 inch from the left and iChat won't connect either. I've repaired permissions and rebooted several times, checked for 3rd party add-ons and still they won't work. Help! I need Internet again. I'm posting this on my iPad 2 because I can't get safari to load a page or download another browser like chrome or firefox:(

OK... i had a quick look around and it seems many peoples various issues were solved by just restarting their macs a few times... i downloaded the java update from the apple support site and then restarted twice and everything now working perfectly.

"open in finder" doesn't work (mountain lion)

I had a strange problem pop up recently in Mac OS X Mountain Lion where operations to reveal a file in the Finder would not work. I noticed it first in Chrome where I would try and open a downloaded file and could not get to it. Then I tried to reveal a download in Safari and got the same thing (confirming it was not a bug in Chrome).
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

For those of you who have the problem, I discovered that you need atleast one Web Widget in your Widgets folder.
I copy one over from our MBP, and the functionality returned.
