DictationIM warning message WON'T STOP

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.8.3 and it is stuck in a loop of showing me the following message -
You do not have permission to use the application "DictationIM"
Okay, let's ignore the fact for the moment, that I have NOT tried to use the application Dictation IM and could care less if it never existed, I don't want it and don't need it.
If I press the "OK" button on the message it goes away for a millasecond and then pops back up. If I move the message it pops back center screen. The Macbook refuses to allow me to do anything else with that message on screen.
I have restarted the finder, and the entire computer. The message does not seem to come up on the administrators log-in but it does on my kid's log-in.
I have gone into preferences and made sure dictation was turned OFF.
I have gone to disk utilities and repaired all permisions.
Please tell me how to stop this. Can I simply throw this app out? I DO NOT WANT IT!
Thanks.

Here is a ridiculous work-a-round.
Went to an administrator account, opened parental controls for the kid's account, ALLOWED dictation.
Sign out of administrator account and back into the kid's account.
Go to preferences, open Dictation preferences. Turn Dictation ON and then back OFF. Go to the setting for key activation for this app. Turn key stroke activation OFF.
The message now only comes back when I try to open parental preferences in the kids account.
Sign out of kid's account and back into admin account.
Go back into parental preferences and disable Dictation.
Now the kid's can log back into their account and actually use the computer.
This sounds like maybe a virus???

"Cannot Open iTunes" messages won't stop!

I have iTunes open in my Wife's account. I am working in my account on the same PC (Windows 7), but I am NOT trying to use iTunes. However, the dialog box keeps popping up giving me a warning that iTunes cannot be opened.
I tried turning off the iTunes helper service but that didn't stop the warnings.
Any ideas? I searched and couldn't find anyone with this problem that had found a solution.

Then it's something specific to your PC that I don't know about.
If you're PC-savvy, you could troubleshoot using SysInternal's Process Monitor. It's not for the faint of heart and will take several hours to sort out.
There is always the workaround of going into your wife's account and closing itunes. iTunes doesn't support fast user switching on windows, and that's why you're seeing that message.

The difficulty here is finding out what is trying to start itunes on your account. Usually it is a plug-in, like an instant messenger "what's playing now" that causes it. But you have no plug-ins listed. And presumably, no ipod connected to the PC with itunes set to open when an ipod is connected.
So like I said, the only way I know of finding it is with Process Monitor.

Transfer purchases before update message won't stop!

I want to update my phone to the 4.3 iOS, however when I click "update" I get a message saying that there are purchases on my phone that are not in my library and I should transfer them before updating. I have transfered no less than five times, both by going file, transfer purchases, and by right clicking on my phone and clicking transfer purchases, but the same message keeps coming up. I notice when I click on the apps tab of my phone not all of the apps from my phone are there and I am guessing that is the problem. How do I fix this?

All of my apps are in my iTunes library (minus the ones that come with the phone - game center, maps, youtube etc.), all of my purchased songs from the iTunes app, all of my purchased ringtones, and my podcasts are all in my iTunes library on my computer, however everytime I click "update" I am STILL getting the message saying there are purchases that have not been transferred, and are you sure you want to continue? I don't understand what it could be. All apps, songs etc. were purchased under the same account on the same phone. My computer is authorized.

Update message won't stop

firefox on mac is constantly opening new tabs that tell me to update but i already did. i uninstalled and re-installed but that did not help. any thoughts?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 32.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Warning message on excess delivery

hi all
from which custumization process we can decide whether the system give a warning message or to
stop the process as and when the excess qty is being confirmed.
regards

Hi,
System will not stop you if the Confirmed Quantity is more than the Qrder Quantity.
It means: if the Order Quantity is 5PC, if you confirm the First Operation with 500PC, system will not stop you.
With a warning messag you can still proceed further and post the Confirmamation for 500PC.
With OPK4, if you do the Auto GR, then only the W/E will come in to picture.
Otherwise as said earlier it will proceed further..
The Solution would be to change the Warning Messag to Error Message for the Message No. RU117
You can do it with the Transaction: OPJB: Change the Message Type for RU117 from W to E.
This is the Only solution possible..
Hope this helps..
Regards,
Siva

S4 mini camera stopped working gives warning message "camera failed".

S4 mini keeps giving me a warning message "camera failed". I have rebooted several times and it still won't work anyway to fix this?

shilo1109
Sorry to hear about the unexpected error with your camera! Let's work on getting this resolved for you today. Have you been able to clear the cache on your camera app? You can do this by going to Menu>Settings>Applications Manager>All tab>Camera. Then, tap Force Stop, Clear Data, and reboot your phone.

Clock set wrong message and Spinning ball won't stop

When the screen comes up it shows message: clock is set before March 2001 needs to be changed. Hit ok button in that message and it doesn't do anything. So I can't fix time and the ball is spinning and won't stop. HELP

Cinephile8,
probably not. There is an underlying problem that needs to be resolved. Which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?
(In the interim, you can press Option-u then o to generate ö.)

Audio error message on playback and P Pro CS6 won't stop playback. Have to force quit.

Hello: I'm getting an audio error message on playback and P Pro CS6 won't stop playback. Have to force quit.
Earlier in the project, I would crash when moving audio up/down tracks or up/down time line.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

That screenshot will help us figure out what's going wrong, but I won't have any news until at least July 8 because our offices are shut down next week. In the meantime, two suggestions:
Download CC and see if this crash occurs in the new version.
Google cpp-99 premiere pro audio prefetch. I got several hits, but not dig into them to see if any had a solution or workaround.

How do I stop the cartridge low warning message from appearing.

Ticking the Box "In Future dont show me this" isn't making the messages stop.
How do I overcome this please?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks for that old_geekster.
Unfortunately, it turns out that the techo that installed the machine only gave me the drivers, as he claims that the HP programs were too extravagantly large! So, I don't have a HP program file and therefore no toolbox!
Guess I'll just have to put up with clearing the excessive number of warning messages until I empty the cartridges. . . .
Thanks for trying to help.

I already reset network settings like someone suggested, but still cannot get my exchange acct to work.

I'm having the same problem but with high speed access.
Anyone know the answer?

Mail - Won't stop recovering messages!

A couple days ago, I was trying to email some .zip files (they were photos that I put in a .zip) to my friend. However, they were too big so it didn't send. So I ended up just not emailing them at all and quit out of Mail.
Now, whenever I open Mail, there's a new folder called "ON MY MAC" and under it is "Recovered Messages." The messages under the "Recovered Messages" folder is all the emails that I tried to send to my friend a few days ago. I tried deleting these messages from the folder, but they keep coming back! Mail keeps recovering these messages, but I don't need them anymore. I just want to delete them. How do I stop it from automatically recovering these unnecessary messages?
Also, the spinning circle next to my inboxes won't stop spinning. Which I think slows down Mail entirely... I tried going to Window > Activity and tried to stop the activity, but then it would just start up again. So now I usually just get frustrated with Mail lagging all the time and just quit out of it.

Mail won't download "undeliverable" warning messages

Hi
My employer runs an Exchange server and Mail normally interacts with it ok.
If I send a message which (for whatever reason) doesn't get through, then the Exchange system sends me a message warning me that my original message is undeliverable. And there's the problem: Mail doesn't see these warning messages. The only indication I have is that the unread message count for the account goes up by one but then drops back to zero when I try to see the unread message. I have to go to another mail client to delete these warning messages. Looking at the text of the warning messages, they look just like any other email. I have no filters etc which would stop them from getting through.
Any suggestions please?
Bob
PS: This might be related to this similar problem posted here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=999846&tstart=15

Hi Bob.
If the Exchange server does this in a non-standard way, that could be the cause of the problem, but I don’t really know the details nor how to solve it. Take a look at the following thread:
False unread message count using Exchange
The other thread you mention in your post appears to be a rules issue. I haven’t replied there because the OP has already stated what the problem probably is, but appears to have done nothing to address it yet...

How to stop HTTP Security warning message in transactional iview

When I am trying to access ECC through transactional iview then I am getting HTTP security warning message i.e. This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?
I think it is because portal is accessable using HTTPS protocol and when we access ECC then it uses HTTP Protocol.
Pl help to resolve.

Hi AshuGrover_in,
First, welcome on SDN!
> I think it is because portal is accessable using HTTPS protocol and when we access ECC then it uses HTTP Protocol.
> Pl help to resolve.
This might very well be the root cause of the issue, and if it is, you know the resolution - make all systems accessible via https.
Anyhow, to examine the exact cause creating this message you could use tools like HttpWatch or something similar and record the client accesses to the server. If you originally have a GET to a https address, the first http request caused by the original request will throw this message.
Theoretically, on client side, you can switch off this message: Search for "switch off http https warning" on google and you will get all possible instructions for the different clients. Anyhow, a clean landscape design with complete https connections is the aim you should have.
Hope it helps

Stop BDC at warning message T-Code CO11N

Hi Team,
I have a requirement of capturing time event for production orders from WebDynpro ABAP through BDC for T-Code CO11N i am able to do this, but in standard t-code CO11N when we try to change the yield quantity we are getting a popup at the time when we hit save which asks for warning error details like yes/no
if we hit yes then it navigates to detailed warning message screen and asks for save confirm once again by to continue. due to cost changes.
but when i record through BDC i am not getting the warning message popup instead of that it's appearing as normal warning message at below of the screen.
When i try to run the BDC in N screen mode the transaction is getting saved with warning.
now my requirement is how the standard screen behaves if warning is there then it should ask for the confirmation.
please help to full fill this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivasan R.

Hi Srinivas
Normally if a message of type warning is thrown no pop up comes. But sometime the screen is coded in such a way that after giving warning it will show you a pop up message. You will have to code it in your BDC if pop up will come or not
