Why can't I make an audio message in messages?

I Downloaded os 8.1 a few days ago and used the new audio message function advertised in the new tips app. Now it just auto dictates instead. does anyone know why? I have a 4s. As I said, it worked earlier. I am trying to message I phone users.

Hello Amgettingreallyfedupofthissite,
The Dictate icon appears to the left of the spacebar on the keyboard. The Tap to Talk icon will appear to the right of the text entry field.
Dictate text. Tap in the onscreen keyboard, then speak. Tap Done when you finish.

Tap to Talk. Touch and hold to record an audio message, then swipe up to send it. To delete it, swipe left.

  • HT204053 Why can't I make a purchase on my iPad

    Why can't I make a purchase on my iPad

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?, we won't know what is/isn't ha
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • Why can't I make an in-app purchase?

    I try to make an in-app purchase and I get a message saying could not complete purchase and that I should go to the support site.  I have a grist card and I still can't make an in-app purchase.  Why can't I make an in app purchase?

    I think it is telling you to contact itunes support, which is exactly what you should do

  • Why Can't I make FaceTime cellular calls on my Mac anymore?

    For some reason I can no longer make FaceTime audio calls on my Mac.  I receive the following error on my Mac : "IPhone Calls Not Available.  Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account." 
    Of course my iPhone does use the same iCloud and FaceTime account as I have set up on the Mac.  I've tried logging out and logging back in.  Unchecking and rechecking all of the contact boxes.  Nothing.
    Please advise

    Disregard,
    I had to turn off FaceTime on my iPhone, then turn it back on and change the caller ID from my e-mail address to my phone number.  This brought up an option on the computer asking if I wanted to use the phone number with FaceTime.  That solved the problem.
    Crazy.

    HI Ana ...
    I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
    That's a different issue...
    First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
    Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

  • Why can't I make a disk Image??

    getting Leopard tomorrow. system working great. plan to do an "upgrade installation". backed up all my files (106GB) to an external HDD. so I think I'm ready....
    question is - why can't I make a disk image of my "Macintish HD"?
    it starts to create the image but Disk Utility comes back and says "Unable to create disk0s2.dmg. Resource busy."
    I thought it might be a good idea to do a "complete system backup" just incase something goes wrong with the "upgrade installation".
    Since it didn't let me, I just dragged-n-dropped the Users folder to the external HDD, so I got my files backed up.
    curious why I can't make a disk image of my WHOLE HDD. can someone enlighten me....
    thanks, chris

  • Why can't I enable an audio track for recording? (It won't let me)

    I want to record VO but PP won't let me...
    On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in System Preferences:
    • Sound Input is set to C-Media USB Headphone Set (an Alesis usb mic...works fine for VO in Final Cut Pro 7)
    • Output is set to Headphone port
    In Premiere Pro CC Audio Hardware Preferences:
    • ASIO Hardware is set to "System Default Input/Output"
    • I have also tried "C-Media USB Headphone Set but this, too, doesn't work
    • With "System Default I/O" selected, Output Mapping is set to "Adobe Desktop Audio" (only choice), and shows:
         • "Built-in Output: Headphones 1
         • "Built-in Output: Headphones 2
         • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Left
         • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Right
    all four of these have a couple of square icons to the right.
    In order to record VO, I first need to "enable track for recording" in the Audio Track Mixer. There are no in or out points set in my timeline and the tracks are not locked or solo'd or anything. So why can't I select the audio track I want to use to record VO? I click it but there is no response. I just want to know why this software is not doing what it's designed to do.

    Why can't I make a playlist from the vdownload app since installing iso7

    So where do you do when apps just seem to stop working, particularly when you paid for an app.  I have now had then happen twice and there seems to be very little customer care from Apple when this occurs.  Just a note to let customers know that an app will no longer work or who to contact would be great. Thanks, Kevin

  • Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?

    Why Can't I make a New Graphic Style in Illustrator CC?
    Nothing works. I've tried several options to make a Graphic Style. Even tried to copy another and change it.
    Kindly Regards
    Christina Saugmann

    Hi
    It was a simple fillcolor with opacity. It is as if it doesnt respond. I can clic the symbol for a new layer, but nothing happens. I've dragged the style from appearance-box, to symbol for new style - Nothing. I've dragged the box directly to Graphic Styles - again - nothing. I've tried with my CS4 that worked. But not in CC.
