Is there a way I can change it to the correct spelling or are they just warning me that it is wrong and I have to figure out the correct spelling on my own?

What gives/ How can i get it back?
Would trashing a pref file help? If so, which one?
I've just managed to turn on the 'Correct Spelling Automatically' option in Safari (and other Apple apps) by right clicking in a text field and choosing 'Spelling and Grammar -> Correct Spelling Automatically' But one thing that I find myself doing a lot, and would like to correct is problems like typing e.g. PAtrick has a MAc -- holding that shift key just too long. Anybody know if there's auto-correction for this? I know there is in Pages and Word (under prefs) but can't seem to find it for Safari, Mail, TextEdit etc.

My boss is VERY used to the feature in Entourage where it forces her to check spelling before the email sends, right after clicking "Send."
YES... I know Outlook now underlines misspelled words in red. But thats not enough...she wants that feature back, and I can't find it.
Just started using Pages for Word Processing, so far I am more impressed with it than I thought and have started using it more than NeoOffice but one gripe is the spellchecker. I can't find any way to change the dictionary from 'American English' to well.. 'English English'!
I've changed every possible OS setting I can find to UK English but it still claiming that words like 'colour' is spelled wrong!?
Anyone know how to switch this over?
How do I shut off the voice alert to grammar and spelling errors?

How does one change the default spelling dictionary for Safari on Windows? For the Mac, it changes in response to the default locale, but on Windows, it just sets to American English and you cannot change it anywhere I can see. All my locale information in Windows is set to UK English.In fact on some websites, like this one, the spelling checker seems to be disabled! I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, BTW, running Safari 5.1.7?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI cannot disable the Correct Spelling Automatically feature. Rather, I can, but once I close and reopen the application it will be reenabled. I first noticed the issue when I upgraded from Trillian 1.2.20 to 1.2.40, but I just tested this in TextEdit and the issue exists there as well.

new to apple, used to Thunderbird (window version) that detect your language and check the spelling automatically. I write emails everyday in 3 languages and so far what i do is: in a new email, right clic to open a menu, then clic spelling and grammar / clic show spelling and grammar / choose your language / close the menu. Mac is great, there MUST be a plug in or a faster way.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis doesn't have to do with OS X as much as it does my ISP (Comcast 15Mbps/3Mbps Down/Up). Comcast states you get speeds "Up to" those advertised which basically means you will never get those speeds but once in a blue moon it could happen.
I've been watching my Router activity for a few minutes (see Top graph of the attached image) and I never get near either of those advertised speeds as expected. I am downloading Xcode DMG from Apple and a few torrents are running with no bandwidth restrictions.
My question is currently I'm getting about 50% of my advertised bandwidth, if I reduced down to the 1.5 Mbps Comcast package would I probably still only get 50% of that bandwidth? I think I already know the answer but was curious what you guys thought.

And can they be fixed?
My tibook has been having kernel panics (Both with the polite message telling you to shut down your screen, and the one where a bunch of code rolls down the screen and it freezes). Also the computer sometimes just plain freezes sometimes and it also just shutsdown randomly. What could be the problem? i tried both sticks independently and it still happens, unless both the ram sticks are bad.How would i go about checking if my ram was within specs?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I have this weird occurrence when I open a Finder window and view files on one of my Mac Pro's internal harddrives.
A bunch of the Files and Folders have a Date Created of Dec 31, 1903 8:00PM.
The Date Modified is correct.
It's not every file/folder either. Mostly contained in one directory I have with client files in it.
I have:
- Reset PRAM
- Reset SMC
- Verified Permissions, Disks
- Deleted Finder's plist
So far, still happening.
Anyone have a clue as to what to check next?
I'm trying to figure out when this happened.....only noticed it today.
Could it have anything to do with sharing files from an XP machine.
I recently tried to transfer about 13,000 mp3s to my friends HDD and after about 1 hour the transfer stopped because one file was corrupt. This ruined the whole process.. Can anyone suggest a program that I can run on all the files on that HDD and verify if they are good files?

Is there a way to check my hard disk for bad sectors? I dropped my MacBook off a 2nd floor balcony onto grass and I don't want to get a nasty surprise sometime in the future when it tries to write to a bad sector.
Please don't say fsck because there's nothing wrong with the file system because I dropped it when it was off.
