How do I check my spelling, it doesn't seem to do anything

The spell check does not light up for me to click on it..and I can't also click on the spell check to work before sending emails.

When you first open a new Write message the 'Spelling' option on Composition Toolbar will be greyed out. This is normal.
When you start to compose some text, the 'Spelling' option becomes black and is operational.
However, you may need to set up some options.
'''Is a dictionary enabled?'''
'Tools' > 'Addons' OR 'Menu icon' > 'Addons'
click on the last icon on left side - hover over tooltip says 'Dictionaries'
You might need to enable a dictionary.
'''Set options on how spellcheck is to work:'''
Tools > Options > Composition > Spelling tab
OR
Menu icon > Options >Options > Composition > Spelling tab
Select the options:
* Check spelling before sending
* Enable spell check as you type
* Select Language,
there is also a 'download more dictionaries' link if required.
Click on OK
'''Additional Info that may be useful.'''
'''Installing Dictionary:'''
After using the 'download more dictionaries' in Options.
Or this link:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/language-tools/
After downloading the dictionary to your computer.
In Thunderbird:
* Tools > Addons
* Clickon gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
* locate the dictionary xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'
'''Enabling all toolbars:'''

When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.

How to reflect db changes - Verify Database doesn't seem to work

I have changed a database (MS SQL Server) column from varchar 255 to varchar 1000, but the designer doesn't pick up the change.
I read that db changes can be picked up by using 'Verify Database' feature. It doesn't seem to work for us though. Is there any configuration to turn on for the feature to work properly or any work-around to refresh the database changes?
We are making the database connection using JDBC (JNDI) option since the report is being used in a Java web application.
Any comments or insights will be very much appreciated!

Hi Wallie,
Thank you very much for your reply! Here are the answers to your questions.
Are you able to create a new report off the modified database?
==> Yes.
Do new reports see the changes made to the database?
==> No.
Are the reports connecting directly to the database table, or is it a stored procedure, business view, universe being used?
==> Through a business view.
By the way, after trying so many things, I was able to figure out the reason. Since the report is using a view, not directly the table, the view itself had to be recompiled to reflect the table changes so that the view could pass the changes to the report. It was a very good thing to know. Your last question could have been a very helpful insight for this issue! Thank you so much again!

Disk Utility-Permissions Repair doesn't seem to repair anything

I have recently installed Leopard, and so far I haven't had any serious issues. However, I used the 'Repair Permissions' function in Disk Utility today, and it doesn't seem to have repaired anything.
As a rule, I run 'Repair Permissions' two times in a row, just in case it missed anything the first time around. When I ran it a second time, everything that it had supposedly fixed on the first run was showing up the second time.
Is there any reason that permissions repair wouldn't be making the necessary changes? If so, how can I fix it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

IMac doesn't seem to save anything

Hi all,
I recently had my iMac sent off for a new HD install. Once I got it back, I restored as much as I could from my back up. But, now no passwords / details get saved across the Mac.
i.e My signature won't save in Mail - if I create one and then close mail down, when I open it back up it's gone. And when I save usernames and passwords in applications such as Espresso app or Sequel Pro, again when I close them and go back to them, they're all gone and I have to reenter them again.
The weird thing is, all the user info is stored in my Keychain, it just isn't syncing it to the app or saving it and heavens knows what's going on with mail and why my signature won't save.
I have tried repairing permissions and that didn't seem to fix anything, so any help from anyone would be brilliant,
Thank you!

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How to capture Runtime.exec() output? doesn't seem to work?

This is the first time I've used Runtime.exec();
Here's the code:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            process = rt.exec(jobCommand);
            BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
            String line=null;
            while((line=input.readLine()) != null) {
                 System.out.println("OUTPUT: " + line);
            int exitVal = process.waitFor();
        } catch(Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
        }//end catchas you can see, this is just copied and pasted out of the standard example for this method.
When it gets to the line:
while((line=input.readLine()) != null)
it doesn't read anything. However, when i run the SAME exact command from the windows CMD prompt i get a ton of output.
what am i doing wrong here?
thanks.

I see "Enrollment Settings" under device groups but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is that normal?

Hello, first time poster.
I'm new to most things apple aside from basic use of ipads and iphones. I was put in charge of the ipads for my school district and after some research and effort, I've gotten a mac server (on mavericks) up and running.
I have setup an MDM, gotten the token, gotten the VPP, etc...
Everything is working as it seems to be working. But...
In Device groups, under settings for a device group I see "Enrollment Settings" with things like "prompt user to enroll device" and "Supervise (IOS only)". So I added a device to a new group, reset the device in question and nothing. The settings appeared to do nothing. Is that normal or am I missing something?

Which version of Server.app? 3.1.2?
Verifty local DNS services. Invalid DNS causes other OS X Server components to have issues. You'll need DNS on your local network somewhere, whether that's served by OS X Server, or another DNS server doesn't matter.
Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll require an administrative password for the sudo, might generate a one-time message about the use of sudo, and will then display some configuration information and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are network or DNS issues. If you're not in .local or .arpa, that'll usually give you a good view of your local network configuration.
The device has to be enrolled with Profile Manager server. How you do that depends on how you want to manage your devices. There are various overviews of how this stuff works too, if you're getting started: here is one video.

Batch Monitor shows no progress - qmaster doesn't seem to process anything

I've been using this iMac since my company bought it a year ago and haven't had trouble with compressor until earlier this week when it just stopped working - no error message no crash - its just doesn't process jobs. I haven't updated anything or added any weird software of which I'm aware. Unfortunately I don't have a time machine back up to return to. We have the extended apple care and I haven't reformatted and reinstalled everything yet, I'm desperately trying to avoid that as I've already had to do it once in the past few months and it put me back at least a week of productivity as it took several days to get everything reinstalled. The same is true for taking it to the local apple specialist - took them a week last time I dropped a computer off there.
Whether its a file that I'm opening in compressor or a project I'm exporting from final cut I can wait for 20 hours and no progress is made I've done a great deal of searching on these as well as other online forums and taken lots of advice given to other people with similar problems and nothing seems to work here's what i've tried in a rough order:
Checking for Updates
Resetting back ground processes
Deleting preferences (for compresser et al)
turning sharing on/turning sharing off
starting qmaster using terminal
restarting qmaster using terminal
checking qmaster's settings using terminal and setting 'rendering' and processing to 'on'
Reinstalling compressor,qmaster,qadministrator and batch monitor using Pacifist
When Reinstalling I never click the box to share processing on a network
I've tried starting jobs with it disconnected from my office LAN
I've tried Everything on the compressor troubleshooting basics page including deleting all files associate with compressor, qmaster, qadmin and even motion and reinstalling them.
after each reinstall I always update compressor as it wont even start in snow leopard without updating
I've checked in activity monitor - qmaster is running just fine, it appears.
If anyone has any more suggestions as to things that could be done, please offer them.

try these initial things:
• check the QMASTER logs in /var/logs (or simply use the /applications/utilities/CONSOLE.app). IF its failing or stalled there WILL be a reason for it.
• look for QMASTER crashes logs...... you maybe not be able to red the dump but there will be a common thing in there somewhere...
• stalled?: maybe sitting in the ACTIVE QUEUE with PROCESSING, but doing nothing.. maybe one of the services has failed. I se an EMAIL address up in the compressor to tell if anything broke. works great!
• stalled?: maybe your set up the cluster maybe expecting MANAGED SERVICEs and you cluster is not SETup for that.lots of these things.
anyway, have a look in the console logs and post your stuff. Happy to help you with it.
I have found the latest qmaster and compressor with FCS3 is very good.
LAstly, I have had the ODD thing that utilises PERIAN plugins etc t sit and do nothing. PErian ends up dumping.. anyway all this can be worked around.

So what do you have, a 100 Mbps Ethernet hand-off with a 20 Mbps bandwidth cap?
If so, you want to shape for your logical bandwidth cap and then priorize, as desired, in a child policy.
BTW, you normally don't use LLQ for other than very time critical traffic, e.g. VoIP bearer, and Cisco recommends you don't allocate more than a third of your bandwidth to LLQ.
I would suggest you just shape for your 20 Mbps and try FQ for all traffic.
e.g.
policy-map Sample
class class-default
shape average 20000000
fair-queue
NB: I'm unsure whether FQ will apply to the shaped traffic, if not:
policy-map SampleParent
class class-default
shape average 20000000
service-policy SampleChild
policy-map SampleChild
class class-default
fair-queue
NB: SampleChild is where/how you would provide a custom policy for your shaped traffic.
PS:
BTW, you apply the policy with the shaper to the interface.

Hello AdriftinSitka, please try to download and install firefox, do the next steps:
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)

Re: Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite in response to Juan Huerta
All new drives need to be partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled before they can be used.
OK, is that an option I'll be prompted to by the OS or do I have to "tell" that to...Disk Utilities (?)
If cloning is your purpose then use Disk Utility's Restore option. It will clone the drives and their Recovery HD partitions automatically.
I didn't know that Disk Utility had an option for cloning a bootable drive...is it better than CCC? (I have used neither one) I really would like to save $40 and avoid downloading additional software/applications...please if you don't mind...what option would that be once I click on "Disk Utility"? If you know of a good link or reliable article on the topic that will work for me too.
Test a clone be trying to boot the computer from it.
Any bootable drive in any bay can be used to boot the computer. Use Startup Drive preferences to set the desired boot volume.
Erase the target and try again.
But if the computer fails to start because I didn't create a good copy, how do I go back? Keyboard shortcuts? I keep reading that a wired keyboard must be used...and that's scary. If that's true, could I hook up any of my Windows based keyboards via USB?
Erase the drive and install OS X. You cannot use any software installed by the prior owner that was purchased via the App Store including OS X. You must start from scratch. (this actually is 5B rather than item 6.)
Well, he created an Admin account for me and I have been handling updates and everything with the new password he created for me.
