Can't type the word "couldn't"

I recently started using pages 09 and turned on the autocorrect feature, which most of the time accurately changes mispelling to correct words. Unfortunately, as a type the word 'couldn't', when I get to "couldn" and then type the apostrophe ('), the program deletes the 'n', so what should be "couldn'" turns into "could'". If I leave a space, then go back and correct it (the way to prevent the autocorrect from working) the spell check doesn't have problem with couldn't, but the problem is that it won't let me type it. Is this a glitch in the autocorrect feature, or is there something I am missing? Thanks.

As far as I know, "Unlearn Spelling" which is available under 10.4.11 (in every applications), is unavailable under Leopard (in every applications).
Right-click or control-click on a bad word, and you will get the unlearn option. Example:
Type "helllo". Go to the spelling dialogue and add the word to the dictionary.
Close the spelling dialogue.
Right-click or control click on the word "helllo" in a document, and you should see the unlearn option.

2.1: Can't type the word "MacBU"

Since upgrading to 2.1, I can't type the word "MacBU" without deleting at least one letter. Every time I try, in any keyboard context, it ends up as "MacBI". No, I'm not just a poor touch-typist (pun not intended): even by sliding my finger from one of the surrounding letters, it skips over the U (and O for that matter, but I can still type "MacBO").
Other words I can't type: MazBU, MaxBU, MavBU, MamB, but MabBU, ManBU, and Ma?BU work fine where ? is any letter not mentioned above.
Anyone know what's up with this? Is it some sort of dig at Microsoft? Not funny if so.

The general issue has come up before. There are certain letter combinations which seem to be a problem. A bug, I guess.
With this one I found that I could type macBU fine in the To field of an email but I had precisely the issue reported by the OP when I tried to type it in the body of the email. The U comes out as an I and has to be corrected.

How do I do , if I can not type the word on my iPad ?

I can not type my iPad , when I type , it takes long by one word. So how do I do ?

On your iPad you have Inboxes above and Accounts below. Open the mailbox from the Accounts section and you'll see the trash folder. Touch Edit and then the message you want to move. Once you've touched it you'll see the option to move it and touch Move and then you'll see the options of where you can place it, like in a folder, or Inbox, etc.

IPhone keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes"

When I try to type the word "fixes", the iPhone (3G, with iPhone OS 2.2) keyboard won't let me type the word "fixes". If I hold down my finger for the last letter, and move it left and right, I can see that it is refusing to allow "S" to be typed. It switches between "A" and "D".
I have seen other examples of this in the past, where the keyboard simply refuses to type some letters, but never on a common English word before.
Has anyone found a way around this, other than accepting the wrong letter, backspacing, and re-typing?
Cheers,
Will.

All this time, I thought it was me...I couldn't for the life of me type my daughter's name, Caitlin, into the phone. I would always get C-A-I-R-L-I-N. Again, thought it was just me not being able to hit that key right, though I don't really have a problem with anything else. Then this weekend, I finally tried to force the phone to type it right by trying to slide my finger to the "T", and it was completely skipped over. I went back and forth from "R" to "Y" several times. Nope, the "T" refused to be typed. Now that I know it's a confirmed bug, I feel a little bit better about my iPhone typing skills.

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account?

I have converted a pdf to word. How can I access the Word file from my online account? When it says 'download the converted file' I choose a location on my PC and click, but nothing happens. It seems that it can only save the converted file to my online account. I went to my online account but I see no way to look for the file

Hey Fabrizio,
You might need to sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf" using your Adobe ID credentials to convert your PDF file to Word.
Do you get the 'download' prompt?
Also, you can find the converted files by clicking at the 'Files' tab.
Please try the same using a different browser and check.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,

How can I sort the words in a document into an alphabetical list?

Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
Paste into TextEdit
Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
Click Replace All.
Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
Sort desending order
Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.

Hello!
Did you boot to the Internet Recovery Partition?
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [alt] + [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you see a spinning globe with the text “starting Internet Recovery” You might have to connect to your Wi-Fi network before you can continue here.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Internet Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Choose Disk Utility and click [continue]

You likely didn't erase the ENTIRE drive of the later OS X operating system before installing Snow Leopard. You just targeted the Macintosh HD partition.
Try again, this time make sure to select the name and size of your boot drive at the top to catch the hidden EFI partition that's responsible for the splash screen at boot time (no screen = white)
It will take two reboots to reset the EFI again, so once Snow is installed and reboots, reboot again.

Can you change the wording of a text that someone sent you ?

my sister sent someone a text , they in turn showed me on their phone with her name/number at the top of the feed to prove she said something to this person about this certain subject . She is denying everything in this text and said he altered it to show me what he wanted me to see . Can you change the wording on a text sent from someone in their feed with their name/number at the top of the feed? Does this make sense ? What I do know is , you can copy and paste and change the wording when sending that text to someone else , but he showed me his own phone with these incriminating texts.

No you can't

If you have a copy of it backed up, restore that. If not, back up your computer, upgrade it to Mavericks, and then get the current iPhoto version. If you don't have it backed up and don't want to upgrade, go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

Presumably a Premiere Elements question. For future reference note that Premiere Elements has its own forum and you should post further PRE questions there. But the answer to your question is in the PRE FAQ entry - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=30.
