Speech Commands - Not working after 1st command

Speech commands were working properly several days ago just after doing a fresh 10.8 install, not upgrade. I have since installed many programs.
Speech Commands are turned on and my microphones are all working. The first command is heard perfectly by the system. Any further commands are not acknowledged by the system. I can reboot and I can again issue one command. The calibration under Accessibility>Settings shows it hears the commands. I can change the microphone, I have several and still only the first command is acknowledged.
I have looked over many posts concerning this and I see others are having the same problem and some have tried manually installing the newest Java directly from Oracle.
Oddly enough, dictation works perfectly, so I know my MAC can hear me ok, just something loused up with the speech getting to the accessibility>speekable items. I have tried various Key to actively listen for commands. I have modified the listening method in various options "Listen only while key is pressed" and "Listen continuously with keyword"
Does anyone have this issue and know how to solve it?

This is an update in case anyone else has a similar issue with Speech Commands.
I ran accrosss a post in Apple discussions from 2011, regaurding a very similar issue. The acutal issue had something to do with the system voice. I had changed my system voice to Sangeeta, one of the Aplle English voices with an Indian accent. It seems that only the default voices seem to work correctly with the speech commands.
I changed my system voice back to Alex, deleted the speech files (above) then rebooted my computer. Calibrated the speakable items then there was no issue with speech commands.
In my NSHO, Apple needs to fix this issue, at least properly address it. I so wanted to use Sangeeta's voice, but I would rather have Alex and a properly working speech commands.

Bash commands not working after upgrade to Lion

After upgrade, many BASH commands not working. For example, such a fundamental thing as "ls".
iMac20:bin a$ ls
Launch of "ls" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported.

Illustrator CC 2014 open and place commands not working after installing Yosemite

How can I get Illustrator Open and Place commands to work after installing Yosemite?

Hello,
I also have the same problem, after 5 minutes I can't open or place anything in illustrator. I have this problem also in photoshop cc 2014. This started after installing Yosemite.
Tried to reinstall but nothing helps.
Today after updating creative cloud application it is even worse: illustrator is not opening anything: not even a new file. So I reinstalled... and I can open again for 5 minutes. But then it crashed while saving. Now I can't open illustrator at all...so nothing left to do then reinstalling again I suppose?

Why is my BDC_CURSOR command not working to position the cursor?

Why is my BDC_CURSOR command not working to position the cursor? Here are the details regarding my issue.
I am writing a BDC to mass delete routing material assignments using transaction CA02. I am OK to navigate through the initial screen to go to the Header screen and from here I am OK to navigate to the Material Assignments screen. But once here, I cannot get the BDC_CURSOR command to take me into the list. Here are the commands I am using. Please let me know what I may try differently.
CA02 Material Assignment - Set position <-- this resets list of materials to correct position
PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCZDI'   '1010'.

Thank you for your reply.
I had used SM35 to record. However, I was not aware of the "create program" feature. I had commented out a section from my previous post which I have now added back (latest code below). But it still did not resolve the issue.
When I execute with dismode = 'N', I get back error message "No batch input data for screen SAPLCZDI 1010".
When I execute with dismode = 'E' (only show dynpros when error), it stops at the material selection screen without placing my cursor in the list. I can then MANUALLY click to set the cursor position in the list, MANUALLY click the trashcan, it then uses my BDC command to respond to the popup asking "Do you want to delete", still leaving me at the material selection screen. I can then MANUALLY click the green check (or enter), then it continues with the BDC to go back to the previous screen, and saves. But it still will not place my cursor in the material selection list (SAPLCZDI screen 1010).
Here is code used. It is the second section of code labeled "CA02 Material Assignment - Delete" that is not working.

this code functions to position the desired material to first in screen list

Crontab reboot command not working

Crontab reboot command not working
Greetings
I am new at this so excuse any ignorant mistakes I might be making.
I have a server (MM X.4.9) that I would like to restart every day in order to make sure no programmes are hanging etc. If a program is hanging is should force quit it. Using terminal I have entered the following command:
sudo nano /etc/crontab
Entered password
Than I entered using tab between each sequence:
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
This was a test run and it did not reboot.
Entering
cat /etc/crontab
I got:
# The periodic and atrun jobs have moved to launchd jobs
# See /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
# minute hour mday month wday who command
15 13 1 1 * root reboot
What have I done wrong?
Thanks

Hehe, there you are experimenting with a "reboot" cron command and you are surprised it quit so fast. You are not going to find a "graceful" solution to shutdown dialogs.
MSWord is a Java app, so it is especially important for the command to work that it doesn't get hung up on outer layers of the system. Especially stupid apps that use Java which is not well integrated. I believe Word has a 5 minute autosave, so you should be able to recover most of your document.
This reboot command should be running around 2AM, when the average webserver has minimum traffic. If you feel the need to reboot during busier times of the day, I'd suggest you look at what's causing your applications to crash.

Illustrator Short Commands Not Working

Hi Team,
My illustrator CS6 short commands have stopped working.
Any time I try to use any CMD + Key, illustrator will not react.
This has been on going for a few months, I have tried resetting preferences but nothing has changed.
If someone could please help.
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Jacob,
I have tried resetting preferences and few other options.
Anytime I press the CMD key the option at the bottom just changes from selection to direct selection, if that helps.
Should I uninstall and reinstall illustrator?
I no longer have my access key.
Thanks,
Brandon

THS,
You may try the following (you have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press CtrlAltShift/CmdOptionShift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

PCI wireless card does not work after restart - FM2-A55M-E33

Installed TP-LINK WN751ND wireless PCI card onto FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. The card works fine after cold start, but does not work after restart. Windows recognises the card, but it gets code 10, cannot start.
BIOS is updated (v.11.1), as well as drivers and Windows 7 64.
I suspect that this might be the issue: Incorrect ASPM Transitions on the GPP Interface as found in ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48671.pdf on AMD's official support site.
Does anyone know more about this issue?

Great! I've done that and now my card shows up. Thing is, when I try to get an IP address, it won't work. Here is the command output:
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change monitor mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
And then it times out and no IP is assigned. The thing is, wpa_supplicant stays alive after this time out, and I am unable to kill it (killall -9 wpa_supplicant won't kill it). At this point if I try to reboot the machine, it will stop at 'Rebooting' and won't go anywhere. If I turn off the wireless card in its switch Linux crashes. If I try to get an ip again (by running dhcpcd) the command will hang and not return to the shell anymore.
I am unable to find any useful information in the logs.
Got any more suggestions?
Thanks! (And sorry to disturb so much)

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

Font not working after loading snow leopard.

My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard. Is there any way to fix this?

I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
<http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
If you want to check it with Font Book, use File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
For the real font, go to

Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install. What to do?

Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install. Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
