How do you alter the spell check on an iPad?

I type my name or email and it always suggests something else. I want to add the new word so that it doesn't "correct" it again!

The system setting for spell check ... go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Check Spelling. You have to keep Auto-Correction enabled to turn Spell Check on, but you can turn spell check off and leave Auto-Correction on.
However, in your case, you want to disable Auto Correction because that is what keeps trying to correct what you are typing.
The way the system is designed to work is that if you keep rejecting the "suggested" spelling of the iPad's auto correct by pressing the X in the blue suggested word, the iPad should eventually learn your word.

How do you change the Spell Check language

I have a question, how do you change the spell check language so that it spell checks in a different language... such as French?

Here is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Yvan asking about this (translated from French):
+Hello Yvan,+
+I saw your answer SirCram's message (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7526551&#7526551) in which you showed a dialogue box called "text"+
+Sadly, I have only recently started using a Mac (and I am therefore unfamiliar with Pages) so I find no way to open said box.+
+Could you please make me a list of instructions or show me an Apple Support page that would assist this recent Mac convert in learning this simple action?+
+Thank-you in advance,+

How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

How do you alter the bookmarks bar on an iMac?

Safari bookmark bar is viewed by clicking on the book icon on the far left side of the bar, and selecting the Bookmarks Bar Collection.
Drag bookmarks and folders into the Bookmarks bar Collection or directly into the bookmarks Bar if you want them to appear there. You can edit them right on the spot by clicking on them once.
If you mean the Dock, the translucent bar that starts at the bottom of the screen (which you can put on the side of the screen), just drag items to the left side of the Dock's divider that are applications you wish to keep a shortcut to. Folders to the right side. When you minimize a window with the yellow control, it minimizes to the same side of the divider as the folders and documents you might drag to the Dock. Note, the Dock is only a shortcut. Many mistake it for a folder. It is not. If you want your application to be dragged out of a DMG you just double clicked, drag it to your Hard drive -> Applications folder. Dragging it to the Dock will only make it inaccessible when you dismount the image. And when you trash the image, the application is gone. Only if you store it in your Hard drive -> Applications folder is it safe.
If you mean the Finder window left sidebar just drag items into it between the icons already there. Your Finder menu's Preferences allows you to select default folders and devices to show there.

How can I eliminate the spell check in Firefox?

I do not want to have the spell check active when I use Firefox, how can I eliminate it?

You want to disable the spell check in forms (e.g., data entry controls like the one I'm typing in right now)? You can do this using the about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''spell''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''layout.spellcheckDefault''' and change it to 0 (''zero'') and click OK.
You're done, you can close that tab.
The change should take effect the next time you reload the form.

How do I get the Spell Check to work. There is no drop down tab for spell checking in the edit tab.

I do not have Spell Checking tab in my Edit tab. Firefox will underline a misspelled word but I can not access the spell check.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

I tried doing the following: When spell-checking is enabled, you can easily correct misspelled words. To correct the misspelled word, right-clickhold down the Ctrl key while you click on it and select one of the suggested words at the top of the menu.
Believe this is for a PC. I have a MacBook Pro laptop. What do I do.

How do i get the spell check?

how do i get spell check on my macbook pro? when i say spell check i mean do they have the correction for capitals at the beginning of a sentence.
thanks for any help

It's application dependent, usually. Which application(s) do you need need for spell check? There is not, to my knowledge, any system-wide third-party spell/grammar checking software that works independently of an application. (I could be wrong about that, though - there is something named "1Checker" in the Mac App Store).

HT201724 how do you romove the sound check normalization tag from your id3 tags?

just curious if anyone knows how to do this. I know if you just uncheck sound check in itunes it won't read the tags, but having issues with other players reading them, so I want to remove them. Anyone?

Hi,
I've written a script called UpdateTagInfo which should do the trick for you. Just select a bunch of tracks or an appropriate playlist and call the script. It will process each track, updating the tags if they've been changed externally. When complete it will tell you how many tracks were processed & how many were updated.

This is great! Thanks for posting and letting us know...

How do you alter the number of points on a polygon?

You can’t alter the number of sides of a regular polygon after the fact without a lot of manual work.
Use the Polygon tool’s dialogue to do it right first time.

How do you start the lightroom app on an ipad offline

I have a Mac with Lightroom 5.6 and a new iPad mini 3 with the current lightroom app. I have synced three test catalogues and enabled offline editing for one so I can review photos and share them on the iPad offline. However the Lightroom app wants me to log in before it starts which I cannot do offline. I have scoured the web. Am I missing something obvious here? How do I start the app offline?

One odd thing is that you say you have synced 3 catalogues. You can only sync one. Do you mean collections?
As for signing in, initially you will have to be online, either through a SIM card or on a network, because you have to point the app to your account and let it sync photos. After then, when you're offline you don't need to sign in start using the app. You're not signing out, are you?
