For crying out loud Apple turn off autocorrect.

Apple,
It's simple !!!!!!!
AUTO CORRECT..........................OFF
SPELL CHECK..............................ON
I'm sick to death of the stupid thing correcting words that are what I want, I want to proof read it and see everything it thinks is wrong underlined in red.
That's it, some of use the iPad as technical support for work and it simply can't handle the multitude of words acronyms etc,
Please give us the option to have auto correct off and spell check on.

Have you tried Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction and Check Spelling ?
Currently if you turn Auto-Correction OFF you also turn Check Speling OFF as well. There is no way to to have Check Spelling ON and Auto-Correction OFF.
That's what the complaint is about - It's not the first.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, APPLE!

Yes, I too am having the reappearing email problem on both my computers since a few days ago. It's really getting on my nerves, as I'm sure it is everyone. I don't think the problem coincided with any software updates; seems to be a server issue.
So, Apple, what ever you did a few days ago, just please undo it, OK?
Sheesh!

I think Tony is probably referring to the problems described in the threads "Read mail marked Unread again few minutes later." and "Deleated mail re-appears".
There seems to be some change to the .Mac service that spawned these errors.

For crying out loud - leave my Start Menu the way *I* want it!

I put the Start Menu folders for QuickTime and iTunes inside an "Audio" subfolder. I also delete the desktop and quick launch shortcuts for both, as things look tidier like that. But it now seems that I am not allowed to do either of those - if you start iTunes or QuickTime without the shortcut being in the correct folder on the Start Menu, they reinstall, replace the shortcuts where Apple thinks they should be, and restore the desktop and quick launch shortcuts for good measure.
Apple, this is WAY out of line. Desist forthwith - the buggy 1.2 firmware for the iPod was annoying enough, but I'm now about to uninstall iTunes 7 until this is fixed. Go and read the Windows UI guidelines...

C'mon, guys, pretend this is as important as someone cracking your DRM!
it's a user to user troubleshooting forum here. see:
What is Apple Discussions?
if you want to guarantee that someone at Apple sees your concerns, submit feedback at the iTunes application feedback form:
iTunes application feedback
in the meantime, there's some info on workarounds with the Start menu thing in krydog's post in this thread:

Should I install Logic 8 on my new iMac for crying out loud?

I'd like to - but just wanna make sure... or should I wait for updates before even playing with it?
Shall I keep Logic 7.2 on here for any reason? And what do I do about old 7.2 files opening in 8? What happens?
Thanks.

Four Gigzs will be fine, as it handle processing quite smooth some time i load stuff up and i have to wonder if i was about to load something that is how quick it is.
Logic 7 not being in the Dock at this moment is minor, if you know that it can be launch else where, just also remember in Apple Key-Note on Leapard their is a Dock 4 stuff on the Desk-top which is smart for stuff to pop-up as you would from the Dock.
You can also set the prefference on a L.7 song to open in Logic 8 on the info.
These faults can't be forever, but is Minor if you know Logic inside out, if not then it seems like a nightmare, eg i now has to use the mighty-mouse the one with the tail as my Emagic-Logic Mackie controller doesn't work any more and seems to be a bit scared of the new Logic, hopefully i know Apple will have it working sooner than later.
On a level this Version of Logic is a must have, they have done so much to it its fun!
Except for a few windows that you have to go close and see what's going on, that is a lot smaller than L.P 7 other than that things that i see and the way it looks and run is more than amazing.

Switch iPad to spell check uk english for crying out loud

Started with simple document created on iPad2 using Pages 1.6 (504) - noticed spell check default is US English (eg summarize) but I need UK English.
Went through all the settings in iOS Pages to try to switch - no luck.
Went to my iMac, Safari, iCloud, pulled down document, (incidentally noticed it had a problem with missing font despite fact that I'm using defaults throughout), opened in Pages '09 v4.1 (923) selected all, went to inspector, changed to UK English, saved.
Uploaded document to iCloud/iWork - selected 'replace' when given option.
Went back to iPad. Noticed Pages documents had not refreshed. Shut down iPad. Re-started. Selected document, opened, and magically it had reverted to US spelling. Also now has a problem with missing font Calibri - in fact I don't give a tinker's cuss which font it uses, I simply want it to spell in vernacular.
Repeat all of above. Confirmed document when opened on iMac had indeed kept UK spelling, ie problem has something to do with iPad settings.
All-in-all wasted an hour. So much for iCloud/iWork. iGiveUp.
Any ideas?

what's not clear is which keyboard is active since there's no indication.
You can make it clear by holding down the "globe" key and choosing what you want from the list. Or how about deleting the keyboard which does not say English (UK).
Spellcheck normally follows the keyboard on iOS devices and what app you are using is irrelevant.

I am no longer the Admin? For crying out loud!

My account type in System Prefs says Standard, when I want to add an application to my folder it asks for a User name and password, but the ones that worked before upgrade no longer do. Please somebody help before I wipe Leopard. The stupid messages that pop up when I download somthing and want to unzip are bad enough - what am I, twelve? - but not letting me into my own computer is really a bit of a wind up. Help help help somebody!

Go to  menu > System Preferences... > Accounts > .
Click the lock at the bottom and enter your Username and Password.
You should now be able to change your account to Admin.

What Mac OS is needed to use Fifrefox 4, for crying out loud? This is not documented anywhere! I installed it, and, upon launching, I was told I it is not supported by my computer (Power Mac G5, OS 10.4)

No need for further details.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Why does Firefox seize control of my PC "for updates" as soon as it is turned on? Leave me alone, for cryin' out loud!

All I want to do is connect with MSNBC via Mozilla. But each time I click on the Mozilla icon, up comes Firefox with "updates." How can Firefox believe that it can force its way into my home, seize my computer, and then force me to sit here while waiting for you to do its thing? Leave us alone--if we need updates, allow us to do it AT OUR CHOOSING & not when it delights you!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Too numerous to remember

You can turn off all updates for Firefox if you wish. But first, read this: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/734822?#threadId734866
If you are talking about Add-ons updates, you can also turn those off but you face the same problem with missing important security and stability updates for your add-ons.
Turning off the updates would be like not keeping your Windows XP updated. You are on XP SP3, I hope, since XP SP2 is not longer supported. Also, do you update XP every month on the 2nd Tuesday?
If you decide to update Firefox and its add-ons manually, don't forget to manually check for updates occasionally (once per week, once per month). To turn off the automatic updates, Tools > Options > Advanced > Update tab; see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel#Update_tab

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,
Sterling

When I try powering up my phone it stays on the logo screen for a few seconds then turn off, whats wrong with it?

When I try to power up my iphone 4 32g, it will stay on the apple screen for a few seconds then turn off. even when I try connecting it to my computer it turns on for a few seconds then turns off. Whats wrong with it? and what do I do about it?

Have you tried charging it with another known working USB sync cable? After letting it sit to "charge" for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting the device by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
