Gaim spelling doesn't work

Is there a way to get the spell check feature in gaim working with the arch package? It doesn't highlight any of my misspelled words. I have the gtkspell package installed. Other than that I can't think of anything to check. I'm using fully updated fluxbox, gaim, and arch packages. Thanks.

Other than that I'm enjoying waiting in line at walmart for 3 straight hours just so I can purchase a TV dinner.

Spelling doesn't work for abbreviations.

When writing for example "Sept." the word is marked as a spelling mistake and in the suggestion you see just the same word with the dot because the spelling machine apparently doesn't register the dot.

Simply click Add to dictionary in the drop down window and you will not get the msg. anmore.

Help, My iPad Doesn't Work On iOs7

I have neever been so unhappy with an upgrade as I am with iOs7. What a mess they made of everything. Why dod theyt have to re-invent the wheel? My Youtube doesn't work and surfing the internet went to a crawl. Can someone give me some advice on how to get the old software back?

Hi David
To be honest I am not sure what I updated from in my OS X All I do is agree to install when the automatic update says there is an update available for my Mac. I'm curious when we pay thousands of dollars to Apple for the best computer why we have to keep shelling out the clams to keep it running. What does the new update do that we have to pay for? I appreciate you telling me about it and I guess I need to know whaat it does. I'll try and find some reading on it.
FIREFOX - I'm trying to decide what to run for a browser now. The reason I switched to Firefox is because it was said to be faster than Safari. I noticed also that when I view Youtube videos with Safari, we are bombarded with friggin commercials to no end.
CHROME - I have been contemplating discarding my Google account because it seems Google wants to force us to go through them to access all my other accounts, and now they are getting to the point that when I try to open an account like Netflix or Facebook or other accounts, they try to force me to sign in with my Google account and they don't give me any other options. I am very upset as are many others with this communist turn Google has done. I don't want to change my email, but I may have no choice. I went into my Google account settings and chose to disconnect my other accounts from Google, but they still Hi-Jack my other accounts even when I choose not to connect them.
Now this morning I noticed my Spell Check isn't working. I have it set to check spelling automatically in Language and Text.
I have been trying to figure out how to check my version of Adobe Flash. Where can I find it to check it? It's not in my Applications folder like it's supposed to be. You're a little over my head with installing a control panel to install updates. I'll try going to Adobe.com/flashplayer andd try to update.
I have power cycled my modem several times with no change. I am using Centurylink for my internet which is the worst I have ever seen for reliability. There aren't a lot of choices where I live. Every time I have trouble ith them and make the dreaded phone call to 611, they say there are no problems and want me to go through a barage of their stupid tests that never work because the problem is on their end. I think they over sell the service and at peak usage times the bandwidth is sucked dry.

Spellchecking doesn't work in hotmail

I've recently changed my browser to firefox from internet explorer and now the spellchecker doesn't work in hotmail. It says the browser is checking the spelling automatically but it's not. I found a forum thread that told me to right click make sure there's a tick next to check spelling, but check spelling doesn't come up when I right click, neither does languages. I also went to about:config and there is already a 1 next to layout.spellcheckdefault.
I've pasted the thread I used below

How can you turn off the spell checker in Firefox? (The menu option doesn't work.)

There was a solution to this I came across a long time ago, but I don't remember what it was. I want to turn off my spell checker in Firefox. The usual instructions given for doing this are to go into Options->Advanced and de-select "Check my spelling as I type". This doesn't work. Period. And this is a bug that has been around for a long time in Firefox.
What's a way to disable this? I don't like seeing a bunch of red lines under correctly spelled words that just happen to not be in Firefox's default dictionary, and I don't want to have to add things to my dictionary either.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

SOLVED - English thesaurus doesn't work in OpenOffice Writer 3.2.1

I'm using OpenOffice Writer v.3.2.1 in current Arch Linux. To enable spell and grammar checking and for a thesaurus, it appears one has to install the appropriate extension(s). I did that by going to Tools -> Extension Manager, selecting Add, navigating to /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install, picking the dictionary "dict-en.oxt" (file dated 6/1/10) and clicking Open. That installed the "English spelling and hyphenation dictionaries and thesaurus 2010.03.16". Spell-checking and hyphenation do indeed work and are supported through the Hunspell SpellChecker and Libhyphen Hyphenator, resp.
However, with this extension, the thesaurus doesn't work. In Tools>Language, the entry "Thesaurus" is greyed out and CTRL+F7 doesn't work. In Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids, under "Available language modules" no thesaurus or grammar modules are listed. When I press the "Edit" button in that dialog box, the categories Grammar and Thesaurus are there but no specific modules are listed for them. No separate English thesaurus appears to be available at http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionary .
How can I get a decent thesaurus to work from within OOo Writer?
EDIT: To be able to use the thesaurus requires installation of libmythes. Thanks to Robert Tucker for pointing out the fix.

Yes, the dkms versions work fine with the new kernel

IChat 'spell checker' doesn't work.

Hello,
Recently upgraded to Tiger .. and the spell checker doesn't work when selected as 'Check spelling as you type'. It works manual -when I click on 'Check Spelling' ... but not whle I type.
The spell checker works fine in Mail and Pages,etc. Just not iChat.
I did reinstall iChat and didn't solve problem.
Any thoughts?

Just to add more info - when selected as 'Check spelling as you type' ... when I type a misspelled word, it will underline the word in red. BUT - when I right-click the word - NO word suggestions are in the popup menu.
If I click 'Check Spelling' ... and then right-click the word ... it works perfectly ... with word suggestions in the popup menu AND other options (ignore spelling, learn spelling ... etc)
Thanks.

After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

Get Album Art doesn't work

I've been confused by this since v.7 came out but it hasn't really bugged me till now.. but the Get Album Artwork function simply doesn't work for me. It doesn't do a **** thing. I click it and it seems like iTunes doesn't even do anything, and album artwork certainly does not appear in my library. Yes, I'm logged in to my iTS account.
Am I doing something wrong here? I haven't really been able to find someone else who has this problem.

GM Axis,
I can understand your frustration, and since most of my music was purchased from the iTunes Store, and tend to be only 1 genre, I sat down with my wife's computer and her iTunes Library.
Once I got the tags for album and artist straightened out, we were able to find 100 out of 104 albums via the iTunes Store. However, the key was correcting spelling, and album names. For example: My son imported a bunch of Elvis CDs after hearing him in Lilo and Stitch. He spelled Presley as Prezley. Correcting the tags with Get Info takes a while. You can select all the songs from a specific album and Get info on that all at once, and change multiple items at once.
The others include B-side singles never released in the US we imported from tape, and an album by a group that was never on CD, and the regional label is out of business.

AirPort Disk doesn't work with LaCie Mini Hub & Hard Drive

I got my new La Cie Mini Hub and Hard Drive yesterday, backed up the PB and did a reinstall...no problems.
This morning, I hooked my LC into my AEBS went through the setup in AP Utility which saw the drive with no problems. But the AP Drive Utility doesn't see the drive. My AP firmware has been updated, and the software too. I even went through the setup in this posting:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4230118&#4230118
Any ideas that I may have missed?

I am dealing with the same issue, jeppeo. I have a 320 GB Seagate external HD (with both USB and Firewire). The Airport Disk Utility does not recognize the drive. It does, however, recognize my Kingston 1GB USB stick. Thus, I know the system works, it just doesn't seem to be working with the Seagate. It may be that the Seagate, and the LaCie you are using, are simply incompatible with the AEBSN. If that is the case, the only option might be to purchase a drive that is known to be compatible with the AEBSN, or any other drive and simply try plugging it in. I am considering buying a Western Digital drive (as many of their models seem to be compatible) and then testing it out. If it doesn't work, I will return it.
Edit: Fixed spelling

I've never seen Apple say that unlocking voids the hardware warranty.
Nor have I seen Apple say that unlocking violates the software agreement, since unlocking in the USA is very likely to be exempt from doing so.
I'm trying to locate a link to Apple's statement, but it should be crystal clear to any well educated person that the following came from an Apple statement.
This article is dated 9/25/07.
http://www.infoworld.com/article/07/09/25/iPhone-hacks-void-warranty_1.html
+Less than a week after CEO Steve Jobs said that Apple would fight hacks that unlocked the iPhone, *the company said _any modification, unlocks included_, voids the phone's warranty.* Saying it had found that many of the unlocking programs "cause irreparable damage to the iPhone's software," Apple spelled out the policy. *"Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty,"* the company said in a statement. "The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing software is not covered under the iPhone's warranty."+

Mini-DVI to S-Video Adapter doesn't work

Hi, I am using the Mini-DVI to S-Video adapter from apple to connect my macbook to the TV. But the only thing I get is a grey flickering picture on my TV. When I click on the monitor-button I can see that my macbook detects only a monitor (but not a TV) in addition to the macbook-LCD-display. I tried all different resolutions, but needless to say it doesn't work.
Can the adapter be broken, or is there a problem with the macbook?
Macbook white 2 GHz Intel Core Duo 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

my macbook detects only a monitor (but not a TV) in addition to the macbook-LCD-display
If you connect the Mini-DVI to S-Video adapter, the monitor button on the menubar should show resolutions for Color LCD in one section and NTSC/PAL in the other.
A grey flickering picture is indicative of picking the wrong standard-PAL vs. NTSC.

DVI to Video adapter doesn´t work! HELP!

I bought a dvi to video adapter (RCA or SVideo) and I already tried on two diferent TVs and none of them worked? What should I do? Does it have a setup to do?

We really need some more details to be able to help with your situation.
Is the adapter an Apple one, or some other brand?
What model TVs do you have? Please be as specific with the model numbers as possible.
When you say it doesn't work, what exactly happens?
And finally: what kind of Mac do you have? You posted in the Mac Mini forum, but your signature says MacBook.
If it is a Mac Mini, did you set it up initially using a regular monitor first?

I have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro that has lion installed when I recieved it, according to the support pages AHT is supposed to work over the internet if it wasn't installed, Mine wasn't and it doesn't work. Where can I download it from?

I Have a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 macbook pro, I recieved it with OSx 7.2 lion installed, I need to us AHT (apple hardware test) according to the support page that I copy here
Additional Information
Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4 or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and should be included with your computer.
For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.
This doesn't work as the additional information statement says it should above. Could someone at apple give me an idea of where to get it or what the "REAL" solution is, since it doesn't work on an internet version which was confirmed today at the Genius Bar in the Apple store.
Please help me

Thanks, while it worked on yours it doesn't work on mine, any other ideas?
Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
And how long did you hold it down?
I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?
