How to turn off spelling check in iCal

hi, i am new to mac (yeah, i finally made The Transition) and i have the latest Mac OS X Version 10.6.3. would anyone please advise me on how to turn the spelling check off in iCal. i can't seem to find any right answer. thanks a lot.

A post from April 2010 and a similar question from 2009, both unanswered. Does this mean iCal spell checking can't be disabled?
I find it outrageously annoying, worse than ordinary annoying, because the calendar is full of ten-dollar words like surnames that will always note as wrong. It's like having a surname highlighting feature. I can't even turn it off in a single event because the next time I launch iCal it's back on again by default. For that matter, why is the active toggle there at all if you can only turn it off for the duration of a session? I suppose I've adapted by turning it off manually every time a red squiggly appears, but I haven't stopped thinking about it.
Is spell check impossible to turn off permanently?

How to turn off spell checking

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how I can turn off spellchecking in MAC OS X Tiger. Occasionally I write emails in German using my English MAC OS X and am bothered by red underlining. How can turn off this feature?
Thank you very much

Control-click in the text view where you're typing and choose Spelling > Spelling.... In the panel that appears, you can change the Dictionary from English to German if you like, or perhaps "Multilingual". That way both English and German dictionaries will be checked to see if the spelling is correct.
Hope this helps....

Keyboard input in other languages - How to turn off spell checker?

I have been trying to send text messages on the iPhone in my native language and it kept replacing all the words with english words. I have tried to turn off the spell checking, but no luck. I have asked the Apple Store employees, no luck there either. How can I type my messages in languages other than english? I don't need a spell checker in my language, I just want an option to turn off the english one.

Input is essentially English only for this version of the iPhone.

Turning off spelling check

Is it possible to completely turn off the spelling check feature of Mac OS X, globally for all applications? This is because I often type in various languages, and because I just don't like those red lines appearing all the time. Each time I enter a new application, I have to turn it off!
Since this is a feature of Mac OS X, all those apps are using, is isn't it possible to just turn it off allover?

Just wanted to say I second Dedekind's primary
request: a global option to switch off spell check
for all apps would be great. For now, some
applications do have this option, but some don't and
it is a problem for any user that often writes in
more than one language (that is, most of the world,
because non-americans often have English words mixed
up with local languages)
Me too, (or me three or whatever). In some applications--my current example being OmniOutliner Pro--you seem to have to turn off the spellcheck every time you open a new document. I have solved the problem in OO, I think, by adding it into the global template, but it keeps popping up in other applications that don't have their own separate spellcheck. Surely there's a way to do this???

How do I turn off Firefox checking for updates (I am fed up with Firefox continually asking to update when I don't want to due to previous bad experiences)

I would like to turn off firefox checking for updates
I don't want to update due to previous bad experiences with updates (version 4 and version 5)
I am frustrated by being reminded on a daily basis to update when I don't want to

Use
*'''Firefox button -> Options -> |Advanced | -> |Update|''' and uncheck the update option, or opt to ask first.
* see [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_update-tab]]_update-tab
* and to downgrade
**[[installing a previous version of Firefox]]
** and the download itself [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
Also note that currently
* firefox 3.6 is still supported, and has had recent security updates
* plans are to continue supporting it despite any comment on the download page
**(not sure how long for but see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2011-09-07#Questions.2C_Comments.2C_FYI ) confirming continuing support for Firefox 3.6
* Firefox 3.6 has updated with security fixes, so is I think now 3.6.22 ; but it is NOT currently trying to upgrade its users to the current firefox release (Firefox 6)

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.

Turn off spell check in specific documents?

Hi,
Is there a way to turn off spell check permanently for a single document? I want it to be turned on always for all other documents, but not this one in particular. Thanks!

Tyler,
Language is a Text Style property and can be set to "None" in the Text Inspector, More pane. If you select all the text in this particular document, and set the Language to None, it appears that your spelling will not be checked. You may want to define a style with this property if you need to apply it to imported text.

Turn off Spell Checking permanently

I would like to turn off spell checking permanently. The red underlines disturbs me extremely much.
In Mail my setting for this seems to be accepted, but for other applications (eg Stickies and Text Editor), it turns back to default as soon as I restart the app. This is very annoying, and also very unlogical.
Is there a solution?

Wise-***.
As you probably know there are a lot of words that no dictionary understand. Especially if you mix swedish and english in the same documents, and also mix a lot of programming language.
Eg, some words that are underlined in my Stickies now:
Textwrangler, annoying, default, Omnifocus, Omnifocus-inställningar (which means Omnifocus-preferences), hibernatemode, Flash, and so on...
All my life I've never had any problems with spelling and I don't think I need the computer to tell me when I'm wrong, when I know I'm not (I'm not that good with english grammar though, as you may notice).
Bottom line: If I want to turn off a preference on my computer, I want it to be turned off.
There is a solution from 2008, I was hoping that Apple had fixed this...
