IOS5 dictation. how do I get to it? It's not on my keyboard.

I installed iOS 5 last night and I am not seeing the little microphone when I am typing a text message. I would like to use the dictation feature. Anyone else having this problem? If so, did you fix this?

As a consolation prize, you could always download either Vlingo or Dragon Dictation, both of which are free and work in a similar way to Siri, if you're only interesetd in the dictation feature.
They send your voice to a server which carries out the speech-to-text and send the text back.
Dragon lets you then paste it into an e-mail or sms, whereas Vlingo does it automatically.

  • I have an ipad 2. For many apps it requires iOS5. How do I get this?

    I have an Ipad2. For many apps it requires IOS5. How do I get this?

    You need to plug it into iTunes and update to iOS 6 - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    After that update, you can do future ones over wifi directly on the iPad2
    Note you cannot get iOS 5 specificially as it is not the latest - iTunes will only allow updating to the latest version available for your specific device.

    No, because iPads do not run Mac OS X. They run iOS.

  • How do i get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?

    How do I get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?  A week ago this happened, I searched for help, I was told to reboot and the message would go away.  It worked...for awhile.  The message is back, but now I cannot even reboot/reset the ipad.  The message blocks me and prevents me from using the "slide to power off".

    I'm not totally sure why the screen locks up like that, but it seems to happen to a number of users. I see that question being asked several time a day.
    My advice would be to backup regularly with iCloud so that the message does not appear. If you are already doing so, I can only assume that it is some low memory bug that is causing it, and that is merely a guess.

  • Upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. How do I get my music back?

    Using my MacBook Pro, I just upgraded my iPod Touch to iOS5 and it erased all the content on my iPod. Now how do I get the content back onto the iPod?

    Thanks for your help, but I found an easier way: Since I have about 3000 songs, a few videos and a few audiobooks, it would have taken me forever to move each item one by one. So instead, I just dragged the content categories from the iTunes library into the iPod content catgories and it worked like a charm. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

  • IPad 1 - Deleted app, tried to reinstall, but later version is only available which does not work on iOS5.  How do I get the original back?

    Deleted App on my iPad 1.  Tried to reinstall - but app has been updated and only works on iOS6 now. 
    Have gone to app store and looked under "purchased", again only the updated app is available which doesn't work on my device. 
    How do I get back the original version which worked on the earlier version of iOS?
    I do not have a copy of the app in iCloud.
    Thanks

    The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.

  • How do I get a basic shape tool (not live shape) in Photoshop CC 2014?

    I seldom use shape tools, but today I needed a rectangle. I clicked on the rectangle tool expecting what I'd used before. Instead I got a live shape, which I'm sure is useful when I have time to learn how to use it. Today I don't. For now I simply need the old basic shape tool to draw a rectangle in my canvas. How can I get to it?

    Yes when you left click, don't drag and the current tool is one of the shape tools other then the line shape tool. You get one of the ridiculous shape dialog.  So don't just click always also drag out the shape.
    When I open PS CC I create a new file, select the rectangle tool, and left click-drag to get a box of whatever size I drag.
    When I open PS CC 2014 I create a new file, select the rectangle tool, and left click-drag. A few days ago that was creating a box of random size, anywhere from 32000 pixels to a side up to 100000 pixels per side and  placing it with the upper left corner in the middle of the screen. Today when I do it, it still creates a rectangle (105264 x 86400) but what shows on screen is coincident with and constrained by the size of the canvas. I thought perhaps since I had many things open, I was encountering peculiarities due to memory issues. However I closed most things, and the behavior did not change.
    I'm wondering if there is a setting that I have different between the two versions?

  • How can I get the third battery out of the wireless keyboard to change it?

    I got a message to change the batteries in my keyboard, but only two batteries will come out.  Is there a way to get the third one out?

    turn your keyboard over-there should be a diagram telling you how many batteries
    it takes (2 or 3). If you do have a 3 battery keyboard, perhaps a little wiggling or tapping may help, or a little wd-40, maybe a chopstick?

  • I have apps that say they are open in the app updates, how do I get them to close and not run in the updates?

    I have apps that say they are open in the apps updates, how do I get them to close in the app updates?

    This is normal under iOS 7. The App Store app shows all apps you have updated and are displayed in an "updated" list. The apps will drop off of the list in a few weeks or so. If they show as being updated, then they have in fact been updated. They will remain in the "updated" list until they are dropped off after a time.

  • HT1711 how can I get album tracks that do not properly download?

    I lost two tracks during download. How can I get them without rebuying?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How do I get the address bar to not have faded out parts?

    I just let firefox update itself, and now my address bar is all faded except for the domain name. This is annoying, as it's harder to read the rest of the URL. How do I get it back to normal?

    You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • HT4111 how do i get auto caps to work on a bluetooth keyboard?

    How do I get auto caps to work?

    Unless that feature is available on the keyboard itself, then you probably can't. You either have to press the shift key when an uppercase letter is desired or hit caps lock.
