How do I auto-correct "i" to a capital "I" in Mail

When typing in a Mail message, I want to auto-correct "i" to a capitalised "I". Auto-correct won't allow this as it keeps telling me "The original text must contain at least two characters"
Anyone have any ideas of a way around this?
Thanks
Stewart

Thanks Arthur, you are very helpful.
I was hoping that there was a way in the system to do it. It just seems crazy that something so simple can't be achieved with the sophistication that we call Apple.
Does Apple ever look in here ?

How to edit auto correct in mail

After some use Mail auto correct dictionaty gets occassinally confused with custom words. I would like to know how do I locate and edit the custom dictionary.

Same problem here too. Maybe it happened with last update, did not seem to happen before. Also, all my online mail boxes have this going on...
message -> move to -> archive -> online name (all mail)
with these exceptions. My msn and yahoo accounts do not show at all and my 'on my mac' shows twice, once at the top and once at the bottom. I think all 3 of these are pop3 accounts, if that makes a difference....
Another weird thing is my msn account does not not show in the dropdown of 'move to' or 'copy to'

How to turn auto-correction the opposit way?

The auto-correction Works the way that I as a user has to recject the suggestion from the system, if not, the suggestion will be put into mytext. This is really anoying and completeley unlogical to me. It should be the way that I should actively chose the suggestion, if not, my own text should be prefered. Is there a way to turn this upside down the way that the system's suggestion only reamin as a suggestion until I actively chose it? In case not, why not?

to do that you need to go back to Pages 4

IOS 5.0.1 how to close auto-correct

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 (update).
Can the auto-correct function be closed, and spell check still be accessed at will?
The Apple auto-correct function is quite absurd and very unfriendly to me when sending text messages and making notes.
It makes the most stupid and irrelevant corrections to properly structured and written sentences.
My time writing text is greatly extended due to this most unhelpful and very inefficient program.
Any help would be most welcome, thank you.

Curious Pig,
Thank you kindly for a very helpful and most welcome answer.
Auto-Correct will no longer be a trouble to me.

Auto correct to automatically change "email" to "e-mail"

Brand new to this group. I have looked at archived material and have not found whether Pages will allow me to do such things as add a hyphen to the word email as I type. Also to automatically capitalize words.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result is maddening.
HELP!!!
Running OSX 10.9.1

I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out. The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
Thanks, King

It's just, I want to change my spelling checker from english to french, that when I type some words in wrong order or miss some, I can know that.

How can I import auto correct form old version

How can I import all my auto correct list from Pages into the new version 5, they have all been deleted

The Auto Correct function is now the System Auto Correct in System preferences.
You will need to re-create your list unfortunately.
Give Apple feedback on the issue, either in the Pages Feedback or the App Store.

How do I add an entry to the auto correct spell check dictionary?

How do I add an entry to the auto-correct dictionary for spell check?

The suggestion from Encrypted11 is for adding a keyboard shortcut, if that is what you want to do. If you want to add a custom word to the keyboard dictionary ....
The iPad Dictionary
The iPad has a dictionary built in. As you type, it compares what you've typed against the words in that dictionary. If it finds a partial match, it displays a suggestion just beneath what you have typed.
If you accept the suggestion by tapping the Space or full stop, great.
If you allow the 'mistake' to stand, the second time you type the same word and reject the correction, iPad adds the new word to its custom, dynamic dictionary. From now on, it will accept the new word and will even suggest it the next time you type something like it.
That is copied from here.

How do I turn off the Auto Correct in Spell Checker

I turned this on thinking I would like it but now it is driving me nuts because I can't turn it off. When I go back into Edit/Spelling & Grammar, all of my options are grayed out. I can see where it auto correction is checked to turn it on but it is grayed out so I can't turn it off.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which application are you referring to? Mail? If it's Mail, go to Preferences, click on composing, and choose "never" under Check Spelling. If it's a different application, please let us know which one it is; in most cases, you should have options in that app's preferences.
This is in Apple Mail.
Actually the command comes under the "Edit/Spelling and Grammar" menu and as I mentioned, all the options, one of which is auto correct, are grayed out and therefore not accessible to me.
