How do I turn off auto-correct on Macbook Pro?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I want to be able to turn off the auto-correct. It does it in every program and sometimes it puts in the wrong word. It is terribly annoying. Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Text tab > uncheck "correct spelling automatically".

    Is there a way to turn off auto-correct in my iPad? It makes unwanted changes, and distracts me from my writing. I was able to turn off auto-correct in Safari on my Macs, and that has made things much better.

    Good stuff, King Peguin. Now life is good.
    Thanks,

    How do you turn off auto complete in finder?

    A Google search turned up Stopping Autocomplete with "Go To Folder" Function and this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2601699?threadID=2601699  Knowledge Base has a few articles on "auto complete" pertaining to certain applications.  Didn't see any articles though about it for the Finder. 
    Yes you are correct.  I didn't know it was a "feature."  Thank you for pointing that out.

  • How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto ?

    How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto? I have about 8,000 old photos I would like to import but it splits them in to loads of events. Would just like to leave them in year folders.

    First try, if importing a sample folder with two images with different days, more than a week apart, will import them as only one event on your mac and  the autosplit is behaving the same for you as for me.
    May be I will have to do it folder by folder which will take for ever.
    Would it be possible for you to join some of the folders before importing?
    Or join your events in iPhoto after importing. Creating yearly events is fairly simple (tested in iPhoto 9.5.1)
    Create a smart album for each year (File > New ) with the smart rule "Date is in the range ...."
    Then select all photos in this smart album and use the command from the "events" menu "create event". This will collect all photos in a new yearly event.

  • Turn off auto-correction in 2.0?

    Is there a way to turn off auto-correction in firmware 2.0? I live in a non-English speaking country and most of my typing is in non-English. It's really annoying when my iPod tries to correct every other word that I type.

    No, not yet, maybe with the next firmware?

  • Cannot turn-off Auto Correction and leave Check Spelling On

    For some reason, when you turn off Auto correction- (keyboard settings) it also turns off check spelling.
    Hope thesre is a fix for this.

    I wish I knew the answer to that and many other questions. We are all just other iPad users like you trying to help each other sort through any problems that may arise. Frankly, I would love to be able to turn off auto correct and keep spell check on just like you. The only recourse we have right now is to offer our feedback to Apple about it and you can do that by clicking on this...
