Does anyone know of a good speech recognition program for Mountain Lion?
I purchased a speech recognition program in 2008, MacSpeech Dictate. I only used it for a short period of time, but problems with my hands have started up again. MacSpeech Dictate does not work on OS X 10.8. I wondered if there are any speech recognition programs available for this operating system? i found "Dragon Express" in the App store, but it was rated low, and apparently crashes with 10.8. I cannot beieve that Apple would forget about those with disabilities. I have activated the speech commands window and have experimented with it, but it seems limited for browsing the web. I wondered if there was a way to create my own commands using the Speech Command application in Mountian Lion? Any ideas anyone? Have I missed something with Speech Commands on 10.8?
The built in dictation is pretty good. The only real downside is that the conversion is done server-side so you have to dictate, then wait a bit, and then dictate, and then wait a bit.
The gold standard is dragon dictate. I think it's a few hundred bucks but it's fantastic software. I belive the Nuance engine underneath it is used by the Mountain Lion dictation feature, though.

Has anyone heard what OS will be needed to upgrade to the comming new OS? I am still running OS X v10.7.5 Lion on my MacBook Pro.
You need Snow Leopard or later as far as we are aware.
OS X Mavericks
You will find all the public information about OS X Mavericks here: Apple Releases Developer Preview of OS X Mavericks with 200+ New Features.
We are all users, too, so we don't know anything more about Mavericks than you.
For more information on the features of Mavericks see: Apple - OS X Mavericks.
Mavericks is expected to be released sometime this Fall. -
I can not hear music in iTunes when I select a song for play in the "Store", but I can when I select them from my Library? I can hear music offered in "iTunes Preview", just not in the actual store. Contacted Apple Support and was advised to uninstall/re-install iTunes, but found you can't do that because it is integral to OSX? I previously downloaded Audirvana software after reading about it in Stereophile Mag. I could hear Store songs with the original version of Audirvana, and later updated it. After the update, no audio in the Store. I've had no luck with email exchanges to date with Audirvana, or with Apple Support. Any suggestions appreciated...
Try opening Audirvana and in the "Audirvana Plus" menu uncheck "iTunes Integrated Mode".

I can't switch apps/programs on my iPhone 4. Whatever app I'm in is the only app I can use unless I restart my iPhone. Then I can choose a new app/program to use but then it's stuck on that app/program until I reboot my iPhone. Syncing it with iTunes doesn't seem to fix the problem and I regularly close apps/programs so I never have many multi-tasking.
This problem sometimes goes away for a brief period of time (an hour or two) but it's pretty much been this way for the past 48 hours.
I have a 32 GB iphone 4 that has the following on it: 4.9 GB Audio, 8.2 GB Photos, 6.2 GB Apps, 0.58 GB Other, 9.3 GB Free.
I am using iOS v 4.3.5
Does anyone know of a good fix?You mentioned rebooting, have you tried a cold reboot? That is is holding the home and lock buttons down for about 15 seconds?
Ignore the slider asking to turn off, just keep holding. Once it goes off continue to hold for about 10ish more seconds and it will eventually turn back on.

Does anyone know of a good A3 photo scanner compatable with OS 10.8 mountain lion? I need it to scan watercolour artwork. I was interested in Microtek scanmaker 9800XL and also Epson Expression 10000 but neither are compatible. Thanks :-)

How full is the hard drive that you are trying to save to? Not that it should matter, but have you tried scanning another document?
Is the scanner plugged directly into the Mac? Try it that way.
Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard, monitor, mouse and scanner and see if the problem goes away.

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.
Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC and right now there is no Airport utility for setting up the new Apple Extreme so you have to do it on your iPad or iPhone. Does anyone know how to set up port forwarding for HTTP to get to DVR security cameras? There is nothing in the list that indicates HTTP port forwarding.
Thanks for your reply Tesserax as I did figure this out on my own. It took a bit because all of the options are not clear what they are for like the previous Airport Extreme and Apple does not support or guarantee that port forwarding will work for you application nor did any of the Apple support persons I spoke too have any knowledge for this feature. You also have to fill in the public if you are viewing through someone else's Wi-Fi or on your cell phone carrier network. This new Airport Extreme is a bit different since you cannot use the Airport utility on a PC like the older model and if anyone else is reading this they should be aware that if you do not have an Apple computer, iPhone or iPad and I'm not sure if some of the other network enabled devices like iPod Touch that you must use that can do it, there is no Airport utility for the PC and you would be wasting your money or have to take it back and get another brand wireless router to use if you do not own any of the above mentioned Apple products.

I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?
It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.
