Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion.

MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion. I tried installing the latest update but since it will not restart the update will not work.

Everything works except it will not shut down or restart so I can't update it.
I run the Adobe master creative suite collection, Microsoft office and countless other software products without a hitch.
After I click on update software then download the apple update for lion it says I have to restart the computer to finnish the install.

Hi John, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Please go to "My Settings"and give us more information about your Mac. It's on this page at upper right ➦
On your  menu choose "About this Mac" and fill in : Version, Model, Processor and Memory. Also, your "available" hard drive space which will will be at the bottom of your Finder window (xx GB available).
Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to Users/(yourname)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

Many things not working after installing Snow Leopard!

Just installed Snow Leopard (10.6.3) on my 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac and now I've got problems. All the dates I've added to iCal are gone. Almost all my address book contacts are gone. I can't access my Airport Express network. And my Epson Workforce 40 printer won't print. Hopefully that's all.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix any of these problems I would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks,
wendy

Thanks for responding.
I didn't have time machine before I upgraded so I don't have a TM backup. I think I have a bootable backup, but I'm not sure how to use it. Also, I realize I should be able to retrieve my address book and iCal, but how will this help with my printing problems and airport connectivity? Sorry to be so green, but I've never had a problem like this with an upgrade before.

Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

Mac Pro not Detecting Bootable USB Drive to Install Snow Leopard 10.6

Hi
I have to Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon. I have been running Leopard on them. I wish to install snow leopard, so i took out my USB HDD where I have made a Bootable Partition with snow leopard. I have used this in the past on all my machines to install snow leopard. Now when I try to install Snow Leopard from this on my mac pro, it does not detect in the "Option Boot" start up menu, it only shows my leopard disk. If I got to start up disk in system preference, then it shows my Snow Leopard disk, but when i select that as start up, it still boots to my Leopard..
Since I am doing a fresh Install , I have another HDD installed, formatted for snow leopard. When I launch snow leopard installer from Leopard and select install in the new drive, it does some installation , but when restarting it goes to my leopard again.
This is the case on both the Mac Pro;s, but not on my laptops, I tried on my air and my macbook pro, and my friends mac book pro, it instantly boots up to the usb drive with snow leopard.
So is there anything im missing ? Or is there something wrong with my Mac Pro's?
I dont have the snow leopard DVD, else I would have tried that too..
Please advice asap!!
Thanks
Sa1

Hey
Thanks for the reply!
I have two USB HDD, with the copy from snow leopard dvd, and both are formatted in GUID, they work fine on my laptops and even the old mac mini, just not working on two identical Mac Pros.. Its very strange, as it keeps booting to leopard, and if I remove leopard Disk, and just put the new one and connect the USB dive, its shows a folder with a "?" mark sign!
And the USB just works fine after its booted to leopard, it even starts installing snow leopard to the disk i assign, but it does not complete the installation as it boots to main leopard drive..
I have tried to reset PRAM on both machine, I have changed usb slot..
I dont know what to do!

Iphoto not working properly after installing snow leopard...

the two main problems are...
1) when editing in full frame, if I zoom in on the photo and try to move around with a two finger scroll, there is a big delay between me moving to where I want to be and the photo actually getting there.
2) when editing with "adjust," there is a delay when changing anything (such as highlights and shadows).
everything was perfect and happened in real time prior to installing snow leopard. when I called apple, I was told it was probably because iphoto is not 64-bit yet (would have been nice to have known that this would be an issue prior to the install). he said that if everything on my computer was added after snow leopard, I would probably be fine.
can anybody give me some advice on what to do here? I wouldn't mind going back to leopard if I can do that without losing everything, but am very open to ideas if anyone here has anything on this.
side note...safari seems to be having issues as well. takes a long time to load pages and sometimes won't be able to open them without closing out and reopening it a time or two. wasn't a problem before either.
thank you,
sean

I am having a similar(?) but perhaps distinct problem. My wife and I have separate user accounts on our MacBook. We were sharing the same photo library under Leopard with no problems whatsoever. Now, after installing SL, there is a strange situation. If I am in my account, and I import images from a camera into iPhoto, I am able to view and edit with no problems. However, when my wife launches iPhoto, she can see the event and the thumbnails in the event, but when she tries to edit the picture or even preview in iPhoto (clicking the space bar), the picture becomes a blank dark screen. If you hit add face while on the blank screen, the program can pick out the faces, but the picture is still blank.
If I try to import photos into the library when she is using her user account, the reverse applies to me. That is, I can only preview and edit pictures added under my account, and not hers.
I never had this problem with Leopard or with iPhoto '09 under Leopard. Any ideas what might be going on? I would think to go the genius bar, but I am not sure what they woudl be able to do about it. Thanks in advance.

After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

Try the following:
1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

Mac Pro 8 Core will not wake up from sleep after install of 10.6

I am so bummed that my computer will not sleep after installing the 10.6 OS. Every time I put the machine to sleep, that works, but when I tap a key to wake the machine, it restarts. I tried resetting the SMC by unplugging everything and restarting but that did not work. I have 8GB of RAM and the machine is set up for photography (Huey color calibrator (using USB), Wacom Intuos 4 Graphics Tablet (using USB)... Could it be all of these device drivers? Help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Firefox will not open in Vista SP2 after installing software for a Brother MFC printer.

I have 7 computer network. All the machines are running Vista SP2. I recently purchased a Brother MFC 9325cw, and installed the printer/scanner drivers as well as a program called scansoft paperport on each of the machines individually.
I left out the some of the bulkier aspects of the driver package, namely the brother control center because it seems to eat up a lot ram at start up.
Since I have installed the printer driver on my computers, several of them will not open firefox.
I have tried re-installing firefox on one machine so far to no avail.
Next I will try to re-install the brother software. Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My itunes will not recognize my ipod shuffle after installing Mcafee

My itunes will not recognize my Ipod shuffle, I have tried almost everything Itunes has suggested including uninstalling and installing Itunes. I am at a loss, the computer recognizes the ipod and assigns a drive to it. When I click on the drive there are flies in it. I have disabled the firewall, checked all firewall settings as suggested in previous forums. I have tried deleting the temp files but that keeps getting hung up on a file that says it is in use. I can stll use my ipod because it charges but I can not update songs etc.
I contacted Mcafee but all they did was turn the firewall off (I could have done that myself).
If there is any help I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Nadine

The first thing I did in the morning was contact McAfee they turned the firewall off it didnt work so they said it wasnt their problem. I attempted several other things using ITunes help but none of the solutions worked. I would say it is something in my computer but the drive shows up in my files so the computer is reading the USB port. I tried changing the drive but that didnt help.
I cannot find a universal "OFF switch" in McAfee But I have turned the firewall off several times after many different attempts.
I do not find an area where I can tell Itunes where the Ipod is in Windows Explorer, that would be helpful at least it could try to locate it then. You would think this feature would be available since Itunes would like us to purchase music through them to load on our equipment. Since my computer does not recognize my Ipod there is no need for me to purchase music.
Do I sound frusturated - I AM But I appreciate your trying to help.

Firefox 4.01 will not open in windows 7 after installing. Reports Profile missing

I have asked this before. I installed 4.01 on windows 7. Everytime I attempt to open it the system reports a missing profile and will not open. Have we identified what is happening?

# Please run "''firefox.exe -ProfileManager''" and try creating a new profile.

IMac will not start up - blue screen after months of Leopard use

I have an iMac G5 that will not start up. It hangs at the blue screen, but does not have the issue with the ApplicationEnhancer.bundle file. It will start up in safe mode.
This iMac will not start from a bootable external drive (the external drive can be used as a start up disk successfully with my iBook G4). The iMac's internal drive can be used as a start up disk for the iBook (via the target mode) and does not appear to have any problems. Does this seem like it is a hardware issue with the iMac? The iMac also hangs at the blue screen if I attempt to start up with the Leopard install disk after using the startup disk preference pane in safe start mode.
I have repaired permissions, verified the disk, etc., using the disk utility. I have cleared caches, preferences, and so on, using Mac HelpMate.

It may be that some of your login items might be incompatible with the mac. Also, try booting up from the install disk and repair your disk.
