How do I Turn off Autocorrect?

I updated Skype to 6.22.0.107 and I was VERY upset when I found out that it had autocorrect!I have already tried going to my PC settings and turning "correct misspelled words" to "off".
How can I stop the autocorrect? Please help! it's very annoying!

This is horrible still. After all this time I would've expected this to be fixed by now . Skype should allow setting the autocorrection independent from the OS!!! I often Skype with people in different languages than my OS / default language. This causes Skype to completely screw up those messages because it's trying to correct them, not recognising I'm typing in a different language. I NEED to keep autocorrect enabled for the OS, but disabled for Skype.
This is non-negotiable.

How do I turn off autocorrect in Mail?

In Mail, I would like to turn off autocorrect, which makes me say many ridiculous things! How do I do that? I've looked and looked and can't figure it out. Thanks!

Hello there Centime,
It sounds like you are wanting to turn off the spelling correction feature in the Mail application. You should be able to do that with these steps from the following article:
OS X Yosemite: Check spelling and grammar
For a specific app: In the app, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Correct Spelling Automatically (it’s off when a checkmark isn’t shown).
For all apps: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, click Text, then deselect the “Correct spelling automatically” checkbox.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

How do I turn off autocorrect in numbers?

When I type 'est' autocorrect keep turning it into 'set' after I press the spacebar. I tried going to "language and text" in "system preferences" to turn autocorrect off, however Numbers keeps autocorrecting.
How can I stop Numbers from changing my texts?
Thanks.

Hi,
In Numbers 3.0.1 you can turn off auto-correction by choosing Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Correct Spelling Automatically (a checkmark is removed). In this case, automatic correction stops working only in Numbers.app but works in other apps.
>> Check spelling and grammar in documents
You can also turn off automatic text replacement by choosing Edit > Substitutions > Text Replacement (a checkmark is removed).
>> Replace or substitute text in documents

How can I turn off autocorrect in Word 2013?

I've read many messages related to this question, with various suggestions, but none of them work. I find no tools/menu
link by which I can find autocorrect options. Left or right-clicking on "proofing" yields no means by which to access autocorrect for purposes of turning it off. Please help.

How do you turn off autocorrect in Mail?

Mail in 10.7 autocorrects everything. When I type Macintosh HD, it changes it to Macintosh HAD. I change it back to what I want, it insists on correcting me. There's no way to turn it off--all the options in system preferences and Mail preferences that claim to control this option don't work. If I were the responsible manager at Apple, I would fire whoever came up with that misfeature immediately if not sooner.

Harry,

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

How do I turn off computer monitor when watching DVD movie on TV monitor?

I think this is really a Leopard question because it involves setting up 2 monitors in System Preferences within OSX. 1) I have a wide screen TV connected to my iMac (Intel White Late 2006) through the Mini-DVI port and a separate audio cable. This connection works fine. 2) The purpose of the TV screen is only to watch DVDs using the DVD player and iDVD in my iMac. 3) In System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement, both my computer monitor and the TV screen appear as separate monitors. I have the setting to mirror each other. With this setting, the DVD movie plays on both the iMac computer screen and on the TV screen. 4) FINALLY, MY QUESTION: When watching a DVD on the TV screen, I would like to turn off the monitor in my iMac so that the screen is dark (in sleep mode to save power, etc.); I want only the TV screen to display the movie. How do I turn off only the iMac screen? Thank you. Dale

That's impossible. It can only be done on a laptop but not on an iMac.

I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
And for screen recording specifically, there's
QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
but got a 404 error...
I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
JM

You should still disable this setting:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
What is the value of the accessibility.blockautorefresh pref on the about:config page?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
If you have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hi,
Open the Messages app.
Go to the Preferences item in the app's Menu.
Select the account pane in the Preferences.
Each active account should have a tick in the Enable this Account box.
This can be unticked.
This will stop accounts logging in but will not stop the app Launching in certain circumstances.
First of all check the app is Quit before shutting down the computer.
The fact the app is open even if all windows are hidden can cause the app to restart when you Start up the computer.
Messages is a Multiple window app and using the red button on the top left of a window only closes that window and does not Quit the app.
Also check the System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > Login Items tab.
This will list items that are set to Start up when the computer does.
I have a couple of External Drive on other computers, some Anti Virus software and the common iTunes Helper plus an old version of TextExpander that will work if I launch the Preference Pane this way.
