How can I disable spellcheck in "Spotlight Comments" window?

How can I disable the daft spellchecking in the “Spotlight Comments” section of OS 10.8.3’s “Get Info” windows? I don’t have that problem in my older Mac, which has OS 10.5.8.

I don't really see it as a march backwards, but then I'm not a great speller or typist so I'm happy to have it check my comments.
Is there some specific reason you call the service "daft"? I assume you know you can always add words to the spelling dictionary. I have done that for a few made up "words" I use as tags. That way, I know if I have accidentally misspelled them & there is no mystery about why a Spotlight search doesn't include them.
Would that work for you?

  • How can I disable the "create custom shape" window?

    When I'm using the custom shape tool in CS6, it will often bring up a new window labeled "create custom shape". It's really disruptive and I'd like to know how I can disable it to prevent it from poping up.

    OK I can now get the dialog window to pop up with a single click in a document with my mouse or intuos tablet.   I had never seen that popup. Under normal conditions with the mouse I use and my old Intuos 2 now replaced with an Intuos 5 with default sensitivity setting I never saw that popup.  Now that I know it exists and how to get it I can pop it up.  Try changing your Wacom feel perhaps your getting extra single clicks.

  • When i search for mp3 files spotlight shows id3 tags instead of filenames as it used to do !!! I DONT want that .. how can i disable it !!!!!???????

    when i search for mp3 files spotlight shows id3 tags instead of filenames as it used to do !!! I DONT want that .. how can i disable it !!!!!???????

    Sorry, my handful of mp3's had the file name as the id3 tag name.
    So, I am seeing the same thing as you.
    Oddly, a while back I was trying to help someone out in Mountain Lion that wanted to see the id3 tags in the Finder.
    It's all a bit silly. They should have added columns instead or changing it to tag song name.
    They are transitioning to having everything reflect the content and not the file system, so this may not be reversible.
    The best I think you can do is provide feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC?

    How can I disable making live shape rectangle in the first place but normal one instead in Illustrator CC? When I create rectangle I can't transform it by dragging and it's only the problem with rectangle, not with circle, star etc. I try show/hide edges/bounding box reset preferences and reinstall whole illustrator CC and it's the same. I can only make this right by expand this rectangle, which is shape as is turn out to rectangle by clicking object>shape>expand rectangle. But this is so frustrating. Help!:) oh, and I use OSX. My friend has the same specs and it's works. I mean she can use live shape corner transformations and changing size by draging:(

    I’ve created my own plugin (available for free for personal and commercial use) which imitates behavior of the ‘old’ Rectangle Tool. It doesn’t replace the Live Rectangle – it works completely independent!
    My Plain Rectangle Tool correctly snaps to grids/objects/points and correctly aligns to grid/points on resize. Of course it supports the SHIFT and ALT/OPTION keys, Snap to Grid and Smart Guides options. In other words it works almost 100% the same as the Rectangle Tool we know from CC (17.1), CS6 and earlier.
    The installation package (zxp) adds ‘Plain Rectangle Tool’ icon into the Ai panel (of curse you can assign your custom keyboard shortcut to it as well)
    Note: The Plain Rectangle can be easily converted into the Live one using Object > Shape > Convert to Rectangle
    Grab your copy at http://63mutants.com/subc/products/PlainRectangleTool_m01/PlainRectangleTool_m01.php Feel free to share with your friends. It’s completely free.
    I’ve also created a separate discussion https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1587587 for the Plain Rectangle Tool. If you have any comments or request please post it there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • How can I disable the low ink warning messages.

    How can I disable the low ink warning messages.  The Photosmart Plus B210 printer is connected wirelessly to my Mac over a home network..

    Open up a terminal (use spotlight to search for 'terminal')
    Find the process ID of the HP Device monitor by doing 
    ps -eo pid,command | grep "HP Device Monitor"
    The process id will be the number that is printed. Sometimes you may see two results, the correct result to use should print "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
    Then using the number you got from the first step, run the following command.
    sudo kill -9 <pid>; sudo rm -rf "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"
    You will be prompted for your admin password.
    Below is an example of when I ran it:
    John-MacBook-Pro:~ john$ ps -eo pid,command | grep "HP Device Monitor"
    90509   /Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor
    90513 grep "HP Device Monitor"
    John-MacBook-Pro:~ john$ sudo kill -9 90509; sudo rm -rf "/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor"

  • [SOLVED]How can I disable ehci_hcd kernel module?

    How can I disable ehci_hcd kernel module loading?
    I have up to date archlinux.
    I tried add 'modprobe -r ehci_hcd' to '/etc/rc.local' but this broke net-profiles - ppp connection at bootup(I have USB modem (which of course work with uhci_hcd module) connected).
    I also tried with '/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf' and 'blacklist ehci_hcd' but ehci_hcd still loading at bootup.

    2) and blacklist module ehci_hcd in /etc/rc.conf.

  • How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

    We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

  • The windows of the Windows bar are already a form of tabs, so I don't need them in Firefox. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23?

    RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
    The Windows bar already functions as a tab bar. Those tabs are called "windows." So, I find Firefox tab windows superfluous. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23? I don't need what is essentially TWO windows bars covering up the entire width of my widescreen monitor's image! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen and, if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position to the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK like the Firefox tab windows bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a superfluous SECOND WINDOWS BAR.
    Here are my reasons for why I'd rather use Mozilla's Firefox, than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Google's Chrome. I love and admire Firefox for Mozilla's intent on good security, for Firefox's Personas add-on, and for Firefox's free use of the Ad-Block add-on which, as you know, has the distinct virtue of reducing screen clutter--the last of which is my motive for wanting to get rid of the SUPERFLUOUS Firefox tabs "windows" bar. I am dreadfully sick of companies forcing miscellaneous bars (mostly representing marketing campaigns trying to sell me something) into my browser (and down my throat) every time I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I am deliberately referring to your Firefox tabs bar as a "Firefox tabs 'windows' bar," because TABS are WINDOWS!)

    Let me clarify even more. The Firefox add-on you mention does not remove "tabs" windows. It only HIDES the "tabs" bar when there is only one "tab" in that window. It DOES NOT end "tabs." It does not turn "tabs" off.
    I know this, because, even with the add-on you recommend, the "tabs" bar often re-appears when I open a link, which--for some unknown reason--Firefox defaults to opening in a second "tab" within the same window, rather than putting it in a new Windows bar window. This, of course, disregards what I want to happen.
    I want to use my Windows bar to control my windows. I do not want my Firefox browser controlling my windows--which it calls "tabs." Can you tell me how to shut off "tabs?"
