Speech Recognition just won't load in WIN 8.1?

Am new to WIN 8.1 - can't get Speech Recognition to load/run... Will not run either from Control Panel, Charms (search for Speech Recognition, click Windows speech recognition or from icon in Task Bar nor from START screen.. BUT.. will run/load when
rebooted (but often won't work/recognise speech correctly (What was that appears??)) as it then automatically appears on bootup; even though it would not run/load in previous session before the reboot.. !!
Am running HP spectre i5, 4 meg 128GB... This failure is very frustrating - lots of other reports of this occurring but can't find any solutions specific to WIN 8.1.. PLEASE HELP - use dictation lot as typing is abysmal!!

Hi.. yep, have seen the video thank you.. the problem is NOT knowing how to use it.. (Have been in computers and using speech recognition, mainly Nuance DS Professional for
ages..)
The problem I have is in LOADING the application… sometimes it will load on the click of the mouse (or touch of the screen on this HP SPECTRE) – be it loaded from the task
bar icon that I set up, from the Windows Speech Recognition command vis the CHARMS or even from the START tiles.. other times it will not!! Must frustrating (will have to buy a new Nuance DNS professional as windows 8.1 is not a platform for DNS Version
10 that I have used for ages – needs !! or maybe go back to WIN&7??)
Couple of things I have noticed that may help others is that the programme may not load if one clicks the icon too quickly.. I find that hovering the mouse over the icon and
waiting until “Windows speech recognition” appears, THEN clicking the icon works at times.. after the small win Speech Recognition mode (grey) icon is closed by pressing the red “close” button then it is hard to get the programme to load again.. then one must
go to Task manager and stop the Speech Recognition programme by clicking on the end task button..
So.. it’s the initial loading and running of the programme that concerns me.. perhaps the bods at MS could look at how memory is allocated to this programme and why when
closing the Speech Recognition programme from the “grey” speech recognition mode button it is subsequently “hard” to reload it again and the programme seemingly seems to still run in Task Manager after this close button has been pressed…?? (But,
I won’t hold my breath)…
Cheers

IPad just won't load ios6...

My iPad just won't load ios6. There's always a fault message popping up. What's wrong?

Hi,
also happens to me, with Windows 7-64b, latest itunes installed and iPad updated to current iOS version (i achieved to sync once in 15 days after desabling antivirus NIS 2011, but never more achieved...)
It is supposed that today's upgrade on iTunes version was addressing this kind of problem, but not at all.
It is funny, but my ipod nano it is synced perfectly, not any problem. but ipad starts connecting, let's iTunes stuck for 4-5 minutes and later nothing into iTunes, no device.
I have tried all solutions, including full uninstall of itunes and all the stuff related up to 9 times in the last days, but nothing to do.
Do I need to pay for Apple care for a problem that have caused themselves? Are they going to do something to address this upsetting problem with the sync? Maybe it will be a solution to restore completely my ipad?
Let's see if some on can find a workaround...

Yahoo/Flickr just WON'T LOAD on my iMac. Help!

Hey folks,
I'm the very proud owner of a new iMac. But I'm just getting my bookmarks sorted etc using Firefox - my Yahoo mail just won't load up. In fact, the site keeps crashing and half loading. And when I did get through to the mail, the main panel was missing so I couldn't see any messages.
I have re-started, tried using Safari... nothing. I am really baffled and getting a little angry about this!
Every other website is loading perfectly. So as Flickr is connected, maybe it's a problem on their side, but I'm not sure.
Anybody have any tips?

And, I used my housemate's PC - it worked fine on there.

I tunes just won't load

i downloaded itunes about two hours ago. and it wont load the software. it gives the sighns of loading but nothing ever happens. i have restarted the computer four times now but it still just will not load. what do i do?

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app (via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, if that tab is working), and if that doesn't fix it then have you tried contacting the developer (there should be a link to the developer's site on the app's description page in the store) ? If re-downloading and contacting the developer doesn't get you anywhere then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

The file just won't load into array...Please Help!

hi i need some help in loading a binary file into an array so that i can edit the data that was saved from previous run..
i could save the file but after that when i try to load it back to memory...i can't...ie. all the information keyed in were lost...please help
this is the Code for the loading process...
     public static void loadAircraft (ArrayList aircraft) {
          try {
               FileInputStream filein = new FileInputStream(".\\Data\\Aircraft.bin");
               ObjectInputStream objectin = new ObjectInputStream(filein);
               Aircraft craft = (Aircraft) objectin.readObject();
               aircraft.add(craft);
               objectin.close();
               filein.close();
          catch (Exception e) {}
     }the above code won't load anything into memory...is there a way for overcoming this?
inside the Aircraft class there are four different data of which they contain two differen data types.
one of which is String and the other three are in int.
Awaiting for reply...thanks

yes...its some objects of an array that i am trying to load back...

Why won't it load the terms and conditions agree page on my iPad, it just won't load when it tries to take me to the page when you attempt to buy an app. Please help

Please help wid this problem

I'm having the same exact issue!
It's happening on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S! I tried restarting the iPad 2 and I logged out and back into iTunes on both but it's still causing the issue.
You know Phil Schiller, I'd love to buy the new iPhoto today too... but iOS 5.1 won't let me....
I sent the iTunes Support people an email so hopefully they'll have some answers. Though it could just be iTunes itself is getting slammed... I personally updated 3 devices today... that times the millions of people who also did the same is probably causing some issues. We'll see.

Tiger 4.6 just won't load...

Am running 10.3.9 on a Lacie ext. drive and am trying to upgrade it to 4.6 Tiger. The install disk boots, but after picking Language, it immediately grays over the screen and pops up a window saying "You need to reboot...." and just continues this at every reboot. Same thing happens if I try to use the disks' "Disk Utility" - it opens, but as soon as I pick the ext. HD, up pops the same "reboot..." message. Sometimes I don't even get to the Language screen before the reboot message comes up. Repaired permissions - nothing changed. Am thinking about starting up on 10.3.9 and reformatting the 10 GB int HD and try loading 10.4 on it. All apps work fine on 10.3.9 - no problems with any of them.

The HD is a firewire drive and I updated the firmware. Tried the installation again - same result - reoccuring "reboot" message. Next thing I tried was disconnecting the HD and trying an install on the internal drive - same result. In all of my readings here about various other installation problems, I recalled a mention about SCSI cards (I have one) - I disconnected the cable, but left the card in place and installation went normal. I shut down and reconnected the cable and I got the same "reboot" message on start-up, so there must be something in the SCSI chain it doesn't like. No real problem, it's time to upgrade the SCSI hardware anyway. 10.3.9 had no problems with the SCSI stuff.

Certain apps just won't load!

Hello
I have been having troubles trying to load the App Store and a few other applications for about 2-3 days but I didn't pay much attention to it. Today I connected my external HD and my system just would not detect it. Initially I thought that maybe something went wrong with the HD but when I tried loading more apps (as a test), they failed to open. (includes Dictionary, Messages, and even Terminal)
I have tried rebooting the system, tried command+O on those apps, yet nothing seems to work.
A few days ago, I used CleanMyMac to remove cache and make space on my drive. Perhaps an important file got deleted? I am not very knowledgeable about softwares or operating systems and how they run, etc. Please help!
System specs:
Macbook Pro, Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB 1087 MHz DDR3
OS X Version 10.9.5

That's your problem. It's considered malware around here. It does more harm than good. Remove it according to the developer's directions: How to Uninstall CleanMyMac Classic ... - MacPaw
To verify that you've removed all of the files download and run Find Any File to search for any files with "the application's' name" and the "developer's name" in the file name. For example for CleanMyMac you'd do two searches:
1 - Name contains "cleanmymac"
2 - Name contains "macpaw"
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop for deletion.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
If you still have problems you'll have to reinstall the system by booting into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstalling from there.

Firefox won't load at all, there is no "end processes" to end, it just won't load, no errors, just nothing.

I used internet "exploder" several days in a row and now cannot load firefox. I have tried end processes and there is no firefox open, there are no errors, nothing supposedly wrong. I can't get it to laod. What do I do. I hate exploder.

You can try to move the entire Firefox folder to a different location to make Firefox create a new file structure for the profile folder.
* Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
* "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
* Use %APPDATA% in the File name field
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"<br />
To see the file extensions of all files uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types"

It just won't load no matter what i've done, but the internet works on other browsers

I checked forums and tried all the things i saw, it still will not load, and i don't want to reinstall and lose all my bookmarks

Did you check your security software (firewall)?<br />
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />

ICloud 2.0 Control Panel won't load on Win 7 32-bit

I installed iCloud 2.0. The install seems to work but the following issues occur:
iCloud control panel won't open
iCloud icon in notifications area won't open iCloud
Outlook 2010 won't open, instead it hangs in the splash screen with "Processing..."
iCloud is running according to Task Manager
I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times with the same result.

Here's what worked for me after looking around this discussion board:
Uninstall iCloud
Reboot
Make sure that if you're using a web proxy (many corporate accounts require these) that you don't use a proxy script file (.pac file)
For 32-bit Windows 7:
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
On a 32-bit version of Windows 7, open the "Program Files" folder.
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Open the "Apple Application Support" folder.
Find the APSDaemon.exe file and set it Run As Administrator
Reinstall iCloud 2.0.
Note: APSDaemon.exe causes iTunes to hang on quit. I had it renamed to disable it but it's required by iCloud.

see. It shows a grey screen where the video should be playing in
the first link, and the second link I can see the start of the
video, with a white circle loading and that's it.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled flash player but I still get the
same thing, does anyone here know what's wrong? I get this result
in both IE and Firefox.
