How do I get messages on my macbook to autocapitalize the first word in a sentence?

I want it to work like the iphone does during texting.  The only thing I've found is an autocorrect for spelling for nothing for capitalizing.  Is this something that Messages will even do?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
I was hooked up doing something else yesterday and when I got free the Apple Site was showing me the "we'll be Back" Picture.
I do think that an update is the cause.
At the Launch of Mavericks the file structure that Messages as a Sandboxed app uses was changes.
In Mountain Lion and Messages 7 the Archive of all Saved chats and the iMessages Chat.db were held in ~/Library/Messages
In Mavericks it is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive for the Saved chats
The Chat.db file is still in ~/Library/Messages but it seems to be been recreated afresh for that update.
As iMessages can be picked up about 2 days or so after they are Sent you may find you have managed to get some older ones to "sync" to the Mac.

    How do i get messages on my macbook pro. It doesnt come up on the app store

    I must not have been clear. I didn't originally connect it with a USB. I only did that to check to see if it would print at all. It did. I originally set it up as a wireless printer. And my laptop won't connect to it to print.

  • Apple Mail - how to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize

    How to get the first word in a sentence to auto-capitalize
    Anwar

    something to look forward to then, because we get used not to use our shift button any more, since iPhone and iPad do it for us. entourage and other ms stuff do it. pages does it too now (put it on in the auto-correct in preferences). bizarre however some loose the capitalization when you copy the text. pages to stickies or mail does not. that's good !

    To connect your iPod to wifi just:
         1. Open settings,
         2. Tap Wi-Fi,
         3. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch is on,
         4. Tap the network you would like to connect to,
         5. If  the network has a password then type it in and press join.
    For hidden networks(networks that don't broadcast their SSID(name))
         1. Follow 1-3 above,
         2. Tap other,
         3. Type in SSID(name) of the network,
         4. Select the security of the network,
         5. If there is a password type it in,

    You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
    Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
    Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
    There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

    * Where have they acknowledged anything?
    ** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

  • How do I remove a space before the first word in a sentence using find and replace or GREP?

    Right, so I am laying out a document in inDesign from a word document and it has a space before every first word in a sentence. It is really annoying and I need a quick way to get rid of them. I wasn't too sure how to do it with find/change but I am sure there is a way in GREP if someone can help me. I have included an image so that people can see exactly what I mean.

    The ^ location works for all paragraphs.
    But a note to the OP, there is a sample script called FindChangeByList that removes leading and trailing spaces as well as extra spaces after punctuation, all in one go. But if you want to continue to use a GREP find/change to remove leading space, I'd modify Joel's suggestion to ^\s+ to get those cases where the user typed multiple spaces as well.
    And don't forget there are actually legitimate places for leading tabs, which both the script and this GREP will find and remove, so be careful.

  • How can I get an exported iBook to open on the first page?

    After exporting the latest version of my iBook, when I open it in IBook reader on the iPad, it opens in some random spot in the middle of the book. I've tried doing a final save while on the Intro Media page before exporting but it still opens the first time somewhere in the middle. Any suggestions?

    >What I do <clip>duplicate Version 4 and then rename it as Version 5
    Those are certainly clones. Don't do that.

  • How do I get my contract free iPhone unlocked from the first network it was connected to?

    My husband bought me an iPhone 5 from Carphonewarehouse Wharehouse which was contract free. I then signed up for a sim only contract from EE but was miss sold a service which they do not provide so I have now cancelled that contract. When trying to buy another sim from another provider, the phone is locked to the EE network for which they say I have to contact Apple directly to have the phone unlocked? I have been back and forth on this one and it seems now that my wonderful Xmas present is rendered useless....because it seems that it cannot be unlocked! Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
    Apple can you help because I have no idea where to turn to now?

    Apple has a extensive list of every iPhone that was made and each phone has its own number. On each number is a code that locks the phone to the service provider. The only way that Apple can change the code to your phone is if it is authorized by the service provider. So you will have to go back to EE and ask them to unlock your phone, and this will probably have an accompanying fee for unlocking as most providers do.
    The strange thing is that you bought your iPhone unlocked and it managed to become locked during this process. You should have just been able to put a sim card in from one company and then just put another in from a different without any issues.
    When dealing with EE make sure to raise that point if they try to charge you with an unlocking fee.
    Unfortunately Apple is not in a position that can help you, they will probably tell you to call your service provider.

  • How does one get to use their apple id for the first time?

    I registered for an Apple ID, which was successsful, but i can't seem to use it, because everytime i try to use it on iTunes it says I have never used this account before, and directs me to the review option which i select but it does the same thing all over again and I can't upgrade to the latest version, because System Preference is failing to open when I try to open the **** thing

    Hi RegoAntony,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of what you are describing. If you are trying to use your Apple ID for the first time in the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:

  • Stupid question but how do I get my mac web page to extend the first page?

    sorry about the ignorance... i'm sure it will be simple. but I want to have a long page rather than many seperate ones on my opening web page, and I don't seem to be able to extend one.... it just goes to the end of the first page and stops. and I want to be able to just navigate down for a 'longer page' if you see what I mean. is there a trick?

    Hi,
    The length of the page adjusts itself to the length of the main textbox on that page. Thus while you write the page the length will adjust itself.
    However it's not recommended to make such a long page due to loading times especially if there is a big amount of graphics.
    Regards,
    Cédric

    Your previous version of Pages should still be in your Applications/iWork folder. It actually works.

  • How do I get my new mac to auto cap the the first letter in a sentence?

    can some tell me how to get my new mac to auto capitalise the first letter of each sentence?

    Quick answer, Pages 5.0 no longer does this. Frustrating! If you have Pages 4.3, it can do it.
    Also, check out the More Like This column on the right. Some people have the same question and you might find some good tips there.

    Your not weird, your a audiophile.

    Good sound costs money. And with a 5.1 system your usually doing surround sound decoding for BlueRay movies etc. for home theater purposes.
    The PC 5.1 surround sound systems require a audio card in a PC tower and mainly used for playing 3D games so that won't work for any Mac at all. So don't buy a PC 5.1 surround sound system for your Mac.
    Harmon Kardon has the GoPlay, it's a portable stereo with awesome sound (not as good as their theater systems) and you can hook up a analog male/male stereo mini cable to it from the Mac.
    $200 and it has a iPod dock and also takes like 8 batteries so it's portable.

    There is also the Bose Wave clock/radio, you will need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable for that.

    The GoPlay has much better sound than the Bose, I think the Bose are overpriced.
