Canadian spelling is different eh

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/930693]]</blockquote>
The Canadian dictionary isn't compatible with Aurora. I was wondering if there could be a localization made for Canadian spelling because we spell with u's such as colour and we get dinged in school and don't look as good in business and such when we use the American spelling of words.

Thanks! I was looking for it somewhere in system stuff.
You can also do it there by putting Canadian English at the top of the list in system prefs/international/languages. Use the Edit button to add it to the list.

Canadian Spelling

I have my region set to Canada in International System Prefs, but the OS X spell checker is underlining the Canadian spelling of words (it's telling me 'favourite' is incorrect and 'favorite' is correct). I need it to identify Canadian spelling as correct ('favorite' will cost me marks at my university, and it's very annoying to have a bunch of red in a correct passage). How do I change the default to Canadian spelling in Leopard?

OSX 10.9.5 Canadian Spelling - Not Correct.

I've set my computer to Canadian English, but the default settings seem to prefer American English for most spelling. This means in most applications spellcheck is marking my text as mis-spelled. Can we look forward to a correction in the Canadian English dictionary with the upcoming OSX update?
Thanks!

Hey Bud,
So between the two of us, I think we can get this completely solved.
I did per your note and changed my "Preferred Language" to Canadian English. I also discovered that within the Mail application there is a dictionary that we can change to be marked as "Canadian English."
In Mail:
Show Spelling and Grammar: Command and :
Then there is a drop down in the bottom of the window that you can choose the appropriate dictionary.
Solved my problems with Mail.
Thanks for all your help!!

Why can't I switch to Canadian English on Pages?

Hi guys,
I'm having a hard time getting Pages to accept Canadian spelling. I've already Clicked to "View" Then "Show Inspector" Then "More" Then selected "Canadian English" in the toolbar.
However, even with the toolbar open, the moment I click on my pages document. It reverts from "Canadian English" to "English"
I've even reset the system languages to "Canadian English"
Not sure what to do here...There isn't a save option on the toolbar.

You set your preferred default language in System Settings. Drag Canadian English to the top of the list.
The Pages language setting is only for selected text. It is not a magic wand you wave over your document. It is for varying the spell checking for different parts of the text.

How can i get my itunes from my computer to replace my music on my phone?

i have updated my computers artists so that they are all the same for each singer however on my iphone and ipod and ipad the artist name is spelled many different ways when it is not that way on my computer.
help please if possible

From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album.....?

How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album, and genre names?
I keep my itunes library folder very organized. You wont find the same artist spelled two different ways in it. But itunes automatically changes the artists, album names, and genres for whatever reason, making it so I have to edit my library all over again.

No, don't check it!
That is the only setting that would let itunes change file names. Read right underneath it - itunes will create files & folders based on artist & album name.
Something else must be changing your files, then - not iTunes.
Every PC comes with WIndows Media Player. Go into that and uncheck the options to retreive internet info for albums. It's in 2 places, on the Library tab and the Privacy tab.

DHCP issues on wireless

When I connect to my wireless router (D-Link WBR-2310 I believe) using my mac, it gets the default self-assigned address instead of DHCP-assigned address. My PC connects fine wirelessly and wired over ethernet. If the router is reset, it works fine. If I assign manual address to iBook wireless, it works fine (by "works fine" I mean that I can connect to the internet).
Had similar problem with my old Linksys router (Linksys WRT54G) where the following devices had issues connecting to the internet iPod Touch, iBook, PowerBook, and MacBook. This was under unsecured, WEP and WPA settings.It seems that the issue is resurfacing with my current router.
Currently, I am using WPA security (I don't like WEP and neither does my PC). I would rather not switch security settings to unsecured due to the close proximity of my neighbours (yes it's canadian spelling!).
Any suggestions?

I have encountered this same router and issue visiting my future in-laws for the holidays. DHCP with manual address appears to work, but I also still encounter occasional drops. The router is setup for WPA2 security, and support a mix of Mac and Win clients. I haven't put a lot of time into trying to fix it, but here is what I know so far:
1) Sometimes it does just work with DHCP
2) DHCP with manual address works, but will still drop occasionally for brief periods
3) Sometimes, just turning the airport off then on again will resolve the issue and pull an address
4) Just waiting about 30-60 seconds also seems to work -- usually
5) Plugging into the wire works great!
I haven't sat by the router and worked on this, but it seems that occasionally the router just drops the signal, and with it the DHCP assignments. Something about the DHCP implementation is very slow, and it just take a while to get around to assigning an address to my machine. I haven't looked into firmware updates since it's not my box and I don't want to mess it up further and then leave, but that's certainly something to check into.
We also have an 12" PB that cannot even connect to the wireless with the "Error joining wireless network" message. Haven't been able to figure that one out at all.
They may just be getting an Airport or Linksys as a late x-mas gift here... (as my connection drops again while I type this! Airport off, airport on, wait 30 sec, and we're back)
Cheers, and good luck!

Find on Map in the US sometime is dropping the city name

I have started using the places feature on iPhoto 09 recently and I have noticed something strange in the "find on map" function.
For example, when I type Stanford University, and click "find ... on map", I get Stanford University, Stanford, Santa Clara, California. I could understand that it is located in the state of California, in Santa Clara county and in the city of Stanford. When I type UC Irvine, nothing shows up on the map. When I tried to find "Joy Luck Place" in Cupertino on the map, two results pop up. I click the first one, it says "Joy Luck Place, Santa Clara, California, United States" It is true that the City of Cupertino is located in the Santa Clara county. But the address as written is usually be read as Santa Clara city in Santa Clara county. So it is wrong to drop the city name Cupertino from the address.
Why is iPhoto dropping city name occasionally? Why is the address format in consistent? Also I notice in some cases, I get multiple results that are spelled slightly different for the same location on the map. Any reason behind this behavior?

Google map and iPhoto map give different results. Google map is more accurate and more complete. If iPhoto fetches the address data from Google map, then it is dropping the city name from the data feed. Apparently, iPhoto is broken and Google map is working fine.
I bet you will see the same behavior if you type the addresses mentioned in my last posting. Seeing for yourself is better than reading the descriptions.

CS2 merge linked

Hi
Does anyone out there no how to merge linked layers in CS2 (windows)?

Hi,
Best solution I found is to unlink contacts and then do merge on Mac using Contacts. To do so select few same contacts and select "Merge cards" in "Card" menu at the top. Now you can sync contacts from Mac to iCloud and back to iPhone. Now all needed contacts merged without links anywhere.
For me the trick was that contact which is auto synced from FB on iPhone should be the first selected while merging. In other case next FB sync will add new contact near merged one, if name or lastname is spelled slightly differently. Probably it's only my problem, because in Russia we have different ways how to transliterate names into English so contacts synced from different systems like FB, Google or iCloud may be spelled differently.
Hope it'll help!

Adding plural to keywords

I am starting to make a hierical keyword sets for my need & wondering where do I add plurals?
Nature
tree
trees
Animals
horse
horses
or
Nature
tree
trees
Animals
horse
horses
Another thing I am thinking is to have multiple keyword catalog for each category, how can this work, when I import any catalog it gets merged with present keyword catalog.

From the Controlled Vocabulary web site (http://www.controlledvocabulary.com)
When Writing Keywords
Keep in mind that in most larger online systems, the captions are fully searchable as well, so it may be only necessary to create keywords for those words in the caption that also need plurals, variants and synonyms.
Use plural spelling only, unless the spelling is different than just adding an "s." For example, just using "cats" is sufficient, but if you use "babies" also include "baby."
Use gerunds not verbs. For example, use "running", not "run"
Do not capitalize unless it's the name of a place or a proper noun (most search functions/search engines are NOT case sensitive, but this makes for easier reading).
List alternative spellings for international audience (color / colour, gray / grey, etc.)
In order to copy and paste into the keyword field in Photoshop CS, use a comma and then a space between each term. For example: xxxx, xxx xxxx, xxxxx, term, word phrase, two word phrase, etc. You can can also separate terms using a semi-colon or even a hard carriage return.

Can I get an iPhone 5C replacement outside my country?

Guys, I'm from the U.S. but I'm currently stranded in Canada due to other complications. My iPhone 5C suddenly died on me and we've pretty much determined that the LCD is dead and that I need to go to the Apple Store to get it replaced.
1. Will it cost me? I don't have warranty and I just feel really cheated that this would happen in my dire time of need, when my cellphone is one of my very few life lines at the moment. My phone is not jailbroken and it just randomly went black and died on me.
2. Whether it will cost me or not, can I get a replacement even though I'm from a different country? Or can I not because the U.S. and Canadian 5Cs are different?

I just feel cheated by life I guess? I've never had a glaring random happening like this. I've dropped it in water ONCE, and I owned up to it and paid a hefty fine to replace it. But being stranded and my phone being one of my few forms of communication..for it to suddenly go out like this? I just feel really cheated by life and my phone. I know it sounds odd but argh...
But thanks anyway guys. Guess I gotta wait.

How to organise this?

Hi,
I've been migrating from PC with 80 gb of music. All music is in folders. I have added this to itunes (not imported), and... what a mess. Lots of the same artist spelled in different ways gives more artists, and lots of double albums.
I don't have enough space on my macbook to put this music, and I need to use a lot of times to clean up names and such.
But how should I do this. I guess I have to clean up and then export to a new disk or??

Go to iTunes prefs>Advanced>General and show iTunes the path to your external HD. At the same time select "Copy files ... to library". This will now tell iTunes to copy any added tunes (including imported tunes) to your external HD. Once you have done this, any editing of id3 tags will be done to the tunes on the external HD.
To clarify - you "add" already ripped tunes and you "import" AIFF (audio tracks) that you are ripping to mp3/4, Lossless etc.
There are 2 files in HD>User>Music>iTunes named "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music ....xml" - do not move these file from their current location. Even though you are using an external HD for the tunes those 2 files MUST be in the location noted. These 2 files are what iTunes and other programs use to see where iTunes has put various information.
If you have additional external HD's connected you should be able to just drop the files into the main iTunes window and they will be copied to your external HD.

Access to selective members

Hi,I wanted to know if you could grant selective access to members on the outline to different user groups. For ex., if US and Canadian users have different products and US users should not be able to view Canadian products and viceversa, is that possible by implementing just one outline?Thanks for your help.

Security Filters will solve this problem for you. You can assign them through App Manager or through a batch script.By assigning No_access, users will not be able to see the data in the cube. As posted earlier, if you want to block the users from even seeing the outline meta data, you will need v7.Regards,

Suits Season 2 Episode 4 (season pass)

I have a season pass for Suits Season 2 from the Canadian iTunes store. Episode 4 aired on July 12th and is now available in the US iTunes store, why not the Canadian one?

Different iTunes stores are bound by different licenses with the TV studios, I suggest you are patient and wait until this particular episode is released in your location.

Purchasing apps in a different country using Canadian account

Hi there...
My wife is currently in another country for a few weeks. I was thinking of gifting her some $$$ so that she can buy some ipad apps, etc. Does anyone know that if she switches to the Canadian itunes in a foreign country, will she be able to download whatever app she desires while logging into her Canadian account from a foreign IP? Is this within the ToS of Apple?
We could create a second account in the foreign country, and send her a physical gift card from Apple's local store. However, we want to avoid doing that as the account would be temporary and would never be used again.
Thanks!

The default store should not change becuase you are in a different country. appleID's are tied to the country where they were created, and can only download from there.
She should have no problmes downloading apps from the Canadian store if that is the store the account was created in.
IP location used to be a factor, but not any more as far as I know.
