Can't turn off auto correct

Im having trouble with turning my auto correct off.
I just updated to yosemite, and i can't turn off the auto correct.
I've gone into settings > keyboard > Text > and un ticked the auto correct box, but it will not stop auto correcting.
Ive had this problem with my previous version of OS X as well.
anyone got any suggestions? i do a lot of typing with abbreviations, and its changing things all the time.

Since I updated my iPad to iOS 5 - spell check works erratically and sporadically as well so I have issues with the way this whole thing works.
Have you tried resetting the Keyboard Dictionary? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary. It is a totally different setting that really shouldn't impact auto correct all - its merely a suggestion borne out of the "Throw enough crap against the wall and hope that something will stick" mentality.
If nothing else works, another standard procedure would be to restore your iPad. If you can restore from a backup that predates this issue, that should work for you.

I can't turn off auto correct on iPad

When I type an emai, the auto correct above the keyboard keeps suggesting words. I have gone into Settings-General and turned off Auto-Correction (and everything else too). But when I type an email or go into Safari on my iPad, it keeps suggesting words that makes no sense and makes it very inefficient for me. Does anyone know why even after turning auto correction off, it still is enabled?
Thanks

How can I turn off auto-correct in my iPad?

Is there a way to turn off auto-correct in my iPad? It makes unwanted changes, and distracts me from my writing. I was able to turn off auto-correct in Safari on my Macs, and that has made things much better.

Good stuff, King Peguin. Now life is good.
Thanks,

How can I turn off auto-capitalization for Mail in Mountain Lion?

How can I keep mail.app from capitalizing the first letter of sentences? I have turned off auto-correct both at the system level and in Mail, and yet I cannot seem to keep Mail from capitalizing the first letter?

Thanks - this helped me track it down - some Textexpander setting apparently got switched when I updated.

Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
Hope thesre is a fix for this.

I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...

Turn off auto-correction in 2.0?

Is there a way to turn off auto-correction in firmware 2.0? I live in a non-English speaking country and most of my typing is in non-English. It's really annoying when my iPod tries to correct every other word that I type.

No, not yet, maybe with the next firmware?

How can I turn off auto arrange?

I uploaded some photos to my computer from two different cameras and arranged them all so they would be in the correct order together. When I tried to then upload them to Facebook, I clicked "select photos" which brought up the photos for me to choose but they were arranged out of the order I had put them in. I clicked the view menu and saw that "Auto Arrange" was checked, so I unchecked it but it did not arrange the photos back to the way I had them. How can I make it to where they will show up in the order I put them in when I bring them up in Firefox to upload to a website?

"None" does not show up in my "arrange by." There are several sorting options available but no way to turn them off, nor to keep the icons from slamming to the right side of the screen. There must be some way to turn this auto arranging off. I don't want all my desktop icons on the right, and I don't necessarily want one of the few apple sorting options.
Does any one have a soltion? Please!

You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard

How can I turn off auto-hide menu bar in Terminal app?

This is soooo anoying. Open terminal app in fullscreen mode, open a few tabs, now when you move your mouse to the top to click on a new tab, the menu bar shows itself and covers the tabs.
I want to turn off this feature to auto-hide the menu bar. I would much rather have it move all the tabs down a bit when the menu bar apprears.
Any ideas to help fix the issue?

Can't turn that off. It's a feature of full screen mode. If you place your mouse at the bottom of the tab you want to select, the Terminal Menu bar doesn't pop up for me.
