OS X 10.9 - autocorrect characters disappeared with upgrade

Has anyone else noticed that the autocorrect information they had set up in 10.8 disappeared when they upgraded?  Rebuilding mine now.
Special characters window has changed too. The mini window is nice but to get to features you need one needs to click on the icon in the upper right hand corner.
Autocorrect doesn't seem to have a direct link through pages anymore.  I only found it in settings>keyboard>text.

I'm having the same problems.  Not used to writing in these types of forums since my mac has been great ("knock on wood").  Its a 2010 model and still working as it was brand new.  The upgrade to Lion made the loading time slow but didn't affect its performance.  The upgrade to Mavericks with Pages, Numbers, Keynote included was free and great.  I guess there is a trade off since now the autocorrect option in Pages isn't offered.  Yes, if you go under Edit>Spelling and Grammar it will supposedly do the trick, but it doesn't.  I still keep iWork '09 handy but my OCD wants to keep my Mac uncluttered without the need of extra apps.  If you typed a paper on Pages 5.0 and tried opening it on Pages '09 there will be an error pop up.  This is my 2 cent input.  The autocorrect was handy when typing a long paper so I guess its back to the dark ages before autocorrect haha.

  • Mail mailboxes disappeared with upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion a couple of days ago. Yesterday everything was fine, but today my Mail mailboxes have all disappeared--they're just not there. Years of carefully filed correspondence! How do I get them back? I back up with Time Machine to a Time Capsule.
    Thanks.

    When I click on "show" or "hide," the following mailboxes appear and disappear:
    Inbox
    Flagged
    Drafts
    Sent
    Junk
    Trash
    The mailboxes I created used to appear below "On my Mac," but now there's nothing below that.

  • Signature Reasons disappeared with upgrade to Acrobat XI

    Our legal department uses the Certify with Visible Signature a lot.  They have all created a number of custom Reasons, which they also use a lot.  Today we upgraded a couple of them from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat XI, and their custom reasons are gone.
    How do we get them back?
    Thanks,
    Susan

    Hi Susan,
    Here are the steps:
    On a machine with Acrobat 9 click the Start button and run regedit
    Expand the tree view on the left side of the Registry Editor dialog along the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Security\cPubSec\cReasons
    Right mouse click on cReasons key and select Export from the pop-up menu
    Select the Desktop as the Save in location and type "Reasons" in the File name field, and then click the Save button
    Close the Registry Editor
    Using Notepad open Reasons.reg located on the Desktop. NOTE: This is one place where the basic Notepad text editor works better then other more advanced text editors. This is due to other editors adding hidden codes (such as line feeds) that will prevent the file being imported.
    When the file is opened in Notepad look for the line [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Security\cPubSec\cReasons]
    Change \9.0\ to \11.0\
    Save and close the file
    Copy the file to any machine that has Acrobat XI
    Double click on the Reasons.reg file
    Click the Yes button on the confirmation dialog
    Click the OK button on the information dialog
    Launch Acrobat XI and the reasons will be there when you sign

  • Where did the "wrench" go for tools? (Win 7 + Firefox 9.01) Disappeared with upgrade

    The wrench is no longer on the taskbar. And,yes, the screen is maximized. I have bookmarks, "house/home" and arrow to list all tabs, but that's it. I tried upgrading again and still no tools wrench.

    Unless you were using a 3rd party Theme for Firefox there is no "wrench" for Tools in Firefox. The Task Bar is part of the Windows Desktop, not part of Firefox. The top toolbar in Firefox, with File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, '''Tools''', and Help is the Menu Bar. When the Menu Bar is hidden, the orange Firefox button show in it's place. You can hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily access the Menu Bar, when the Firefox button is showing.
    Options in Firefox can be accessed like this: <br />
    Tools > Options or Firefox button > Options -> Options

  • Chinese font characters disappearing in CS6

    I need to redesign an InDesign file that is in Chinese and originally created in CS5. When I open the document in CS6 some characters disappear (no pink box). When I substitute the font with another Simplified Chinese font, some of the missing characters appear but then I lose other characters. Is this a CS6 issue? Any solutions?

    Chinese fonts can vary dramatically in character count, whether simplified or traditional, but older simplified fonts are particularly small (GB vs. GBK, etc.): the ChineseMac site has a handy list showing character counts for a bunch of fonts.  And sometimes ID doesn't show a pink box, just a blank.
    Differences can be really subtle.  Several years ago I worked on a job using Adobe Fangsong, if I recall correctly.  Some stuff disappeared on a colleague's machine, and it turned out he was using a version of the font bundled with an earlier version of InDesign and hadn't installed the revised font when upgrading ID.  (The older one lacked some of the vertical punctuation symbols I'd added to the files.)
    Good luck!

  • Replacing fonts, characters disappear

    I have a problem with the fonts.
    At my company we are changing postscript fonts (Adobe FontFolio 8) to OpenType (Adobe FontFolio 11), and replacing fonts from indesign, characters disappear (for example, replacing the Helvetica Neue by Helvetica Neue LT Std) and some text boxes are empty. Do you know why it can be?

    Yes, I have cheked it. Some text frames are empty. But only if I click "Change all", with "Change" and "Change/Find" it does well.
    I have found the text frames are empty only in documents complicated, with many charts and tables.

  • Has anyone found the solution to email disappearing with Apple Mail?

    Hello,
    I have seen quite a number of postings about email disappearing with Apple's Mail client, regardless of what account they are using (yahoo, gmail, aol, etc.). What I have noticed is that email vanishes right in front of my eyes from the folders I have created to keep my email in order. Sometimes I move a message or several and I see them in the folder for a day or two, and then a few days later they are simply gone. This happens from the sent folder too. It is random. No, they are not in the trash, or junk, or anywhere else. Doing a full search turns nothing. They are really, really gone.
    Sometimes, I go to a folder and I see how in a second one or several messages disappear from the list and that is it. Never to be found again. Not even if I visit the web-based account I can retrieve them. They are gone.
    The worst part is when they disappear from my sent folder immediately after they leave the outbox, so I am not sure if it sent or not, and I have to retype the whole thing again just to make sure.
    This is extremely annoying, and I have seen I am not the only one to which this happens. Has anyone found a fix for this bug? Should I simply keep all my email in my inbox? Or should I just give up on Apple Mail and use Thunderbird?
    I have an old powerbook G4 with 10.4 and Mail 2. Not like it makes much difference, I've seen people complaining about the same issue in later versions of OS and Mail.
    Thanks for any help
    Annie

  • I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't

    I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages.  If I type it won't continue in Hebrew.  I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1.  I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

    Just clarifying:
    Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
    Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
    If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
    If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
    As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

    btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

  • How do you set the left hand margin when writing emails. Some characters disappear off of the left side of the page because the margin is so close to the edge

    When writing emails the left hand margin is so close to the edge of the page that some characters disappear from view on the left hand of the page. How can I set the left hand margin to not be so close to the left edge of the page?

    Oy. You beat your head for hours and finally concede to asking for help, only to solve it two minutes later. Here's the answer.
    In the inspector, on the Layout tab, there's a checkbox that reads, "Show Thumbnail Track".
    UNCHECK that box and the gutter goes away.

  • How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

    How can I get  my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ?  all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files.  One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB.  Now I can only find the 1.8MB one.  Did this option disappear with Lion?

    Before I downloaded Lion every time I would upload a pic from iphoto there would be two files.  One that was 1.8MB and another that was 50KB.  Now I can only find the 1.8MB one.  Did this option disappear with Lion?  I really need this option!

    Sorry but this is not clear.
    When you would "import" what?
    two files would show up in "images".
    Do you mean in the All Images search in the Finder?
    IF so:
    1.Never interact with photos that are in iPhoto via the All Images Search. This does not understand the iPhoto Library and it's very, very easy to damage the library this way.
    2. What you were seeing was the original file you imported and the thumbnail created by iPhoto for viewing on the iPhoto Window. That thumbnail is not designed for user access.
    What are you trying to do ultimately?

  • Lightroom 5 disappears with CC Install

    It would appear that my licensed copy of Lightroom 5, which I downloaded online, has disappeared with the install of CC.  In my dock I have a question mark on the Lightroom icon.  And installing from CC asks for a license number.  Is there a way to retrieve my license?

    CC products are licensed when you are logged into CC and not when you’re not so if you are installing the CC version of LR then you need to be logged into CC when you are doing it.  I am talking about being logged into the CC Desktop app running locally on your computer, not just logged into the creative.adobe.com site when you download it.
    If you mean that you already had LR 5 on your computer prior to installing CC, then keep in mind that the LR 5-CC is different than the LR 5 non-CC but only in that they are licensed differently, so the program, itself, must be uninstalled and a new version installed when you switch from non-CC LR to CC-LR.
    When I got the PS+LR CC bundle a few months back, my LR 5-CC wouldn’t even show up in the CC listing prior to my uninstalling the non-CC LR and then explicitly logging out and back into the CC-Desktop app to get it to rescan what local software I had and compare it to what I was licensed to use through CC.
    After I uninstalled the LR 5 on-CC, and logged out and into CC-Desktop, LR CC showed up in my CC Desktop as a valid app to install, and when I did that, the serial number as filled in automatically, because I was logged into CC at the time I did the install.
    It’s not clear to me what LR your shortcut was to and where you’re installing the new one from.  I am on Windows, so the Mac versions may work a little different, and Adobe may have changed how CC works a little so it may allow the LR-CC version to install over the top of the LR non-CC version without uninstalling the non-CC version.
    A question:  are you seeing LR-CC show up in your list of available or installed apps in the CC-Desktop app running locally on your computer or not?
