IPad spell check doesn't auto-correct for iPad

Whenever I type "ipad" on my iPad, it doesn't auto-correct to "iPad", it just leaves "ipad". When I tap it, it pops up "iPad | pad", so it thinks when I'm typing "ipad" that I could equally mean "iPad" or "pad"... considering the "i" is two characters away from "p" on the keyboard, it seems pretty obvious I more likely mean "iPad"!
Any way to fix this? Or does Apple need to program their iPads to recognize iPad?!

Nobody cares about iPad spell-correct I guess; it's still less intelligent and not as easy to use as Android's.

After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

Spell Checker doesn't seem to work in 4.0

When you enter information into a box like this one, the spell checker doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if it was missing, not being put in, or if I need to add it somehow. If its not their, please put it back in again. I myself really need it.

did you get my earlier message? Here's what I wrote;
I also meant to add the way the instructor for the course showed how to
write the code
for example; home_btn.addEventListener(Mouse...................) as so
on You mention no period after the btn unless a width or something how
could I change the code to be proper.
and also one for {
content_pg.gotoAndStop(2);
same period example. should there be a space and no period after home_btn?
thanks again for your assistance.

Lens corrections : auto-correction for rectangular subjects

I have used lens corrections manual "vertical"+"horizontal"+"rotate" sliders
to render rectangular paintings shot off-axis (transform trapezoids into rectangles).
Very cool - but time consuming !
My request is an auto-correction for rectangular subjects :
set rectangular mode, click pointer on each corner (4), hit enter and "voila" :
"vertical"+"horizontal"+"rotate" sliders auto-adjust !
(I think there's only one solution to the problem)
Do I have any support ?

Just for "fun",
take an off-center picture of a rectangular poster
and monitor how long it takes to get a good enough
rectangular view in LR3 (cropped).
Can be played with friends... !

IChat 'spell checker' doesn't work.

Hello,
Recently upgraded to Tiger .. and the spell checker doesn't work when selected as 'Check spelling as you type'. It works manual -when I click on 'Check Spelling' ... but not whle I type.
The spell checker works fine in Mail and Pages,etc. Just not iChat.
I did reinstall iChat and didn't solve problem.
Any thoughts?

Just to add more info - when selected as 'Check spelling as you type' ... when I type a misspelled word, it will underline the word in red. BUT - when I right-click the word - NO word suggestions are in the popup menu.
If I click 'Check Spelling' ... and then right-click the word ... it works perfectly ... with word suggestions in the popup menu AND other options (ignore spelling, learn spelling ... etc)
Thanks.

Is there a way to turn off the iPad spell check feature when writing emails?

Yes - but you will turn it off everywhere. Settings>General>Keyboard>Check Spelling>Off.

I get the "s" instead of "a" when texting. Why doesn't auto correct catch this

I get the "s" instead of "a" when texting. Why doesn't auto correct catch this?

Because there's no error in a single letter. Learn how to type.

IPad 2 will not sync w/Bento for iPad

IPad 2 will not syne w/Bento for iPad on MacBook Pro. I've deleted & re-downloaded app. Still will not sync.
iPhone does sync w/Bento. All devices on same wifi.

Not a lot of information to go with Mark. What type of computer, operating system, prior iTunes devices, etc??? Is the iPad brand new, did it sync before or is this your first sync?
But a couple of things you could check:
1. Is this your first iDevice? If no, do you have a iPhone, iPod, previous iPad? If yes, are you using the syncing cable from one of those devices? If yes, it can screw up the deal. Make sure you are using the cable that came with the iPad.
2. Turn off any firewalls that might be running in background.
Let me know on these things first. We'll work through it and get you up and running. It will be something simple in the end most likely.

Since IOS 5 iPad video app doesn't display correct art for shared videos.

Hello,
I like to watch my movies located on my mac computer over my network to my iPad. Ever since I installed IOS 5 on my iPad when browsing shared movies on iPad the artwork doesn't match the movie making it difficult to pick the correct movie. When I select a movie, then the correct movie artwork shows up before selecting play. when clicking back(Shared) button the artwork flips back to the incorrect artwork in the move list. I've tried rebooting my mac, rebooting my iPad. I even restored my iPad with no success. This problem didn't start until I installed IOS 5 on my iPad. Apple can you please fix this!!!!

It doesn't work.. I have already tried many ways to close the app. This is the step by step guide I have to follow every time I want to close the video app:
1. When everything doesn't react - press the lock screen button.
2. press it again (or the home button) and slide the screen to unlock.
3. Now the Application doesn't have any picture. Just a black screen, but sound is still running, and it still doesn't react when I am doing anything. Now this was the tricky part to experience, because now I simply press the home button one time and after 12-15 seconds, the application hides and I am back to home screen. (sound still playing.)
4. Open the task bar and close the app. (Sound is still playing)
5. Press lock screen button. (sound stop playing).
6. Unlock the screen and open the video app again to start over.

Is there a way for the basic ENGLISH spell check dictionary to auto update? Its really annoying to have to update the spellcheck dictionary everytime FF updates

Every time FF updates, it forces me to download and install the spell check dictionary for English. It makes me just choose to use another browser since more often than not its opening facebook and I like spell check when I use fb. Is there any solution?

What Firefox locale do you use?
Is that the en-US version or another locale like the French locale?
You shouldn't lose installed dictionaries and other installed extensions when you update Firefox unless you would reset Firefox or a new profile got created for other reasons like problem with the profiles.ini file.
Are there otherwise problems with updating that you notice?
Note that in case you do not need all four French dictionaries then you can remove others and only keep the ones you need.
You can find the dictionary files in the dictionaries folder of the extension in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder or possibly in the Firefox program folder if you use a French Firefox locale (don't know if that locale includes a dictionary).

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

After iOS8, spell check doesn't work for last word in sentence

Hello,
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8, i've noticed that the spell checker and the keybord shortcuts arent working for the last word in sentence.
For instance, I used to have a shortcut, so whenever I texted LOL and hit the send button, it would send "HAHAHAHA" into the message.
Now, if i just type LOL and hit send, it will send LOL iinto conversation.
Has anyone managed to fix it out?
Thanks.

Confirm this is selected:
In the new Write window
Options > Spell check as you type
''re Yes, I have dictionaries installed.''
This implies you have more than one dictionary.
Can you check to see if any addon /extension is causing a conflict.
There is no point starting up in safe mode as this will disable the dictionaries. So instead:
Tools > Add-ons
The 'Add-ons Manager will open in a new tab
select 'Extensions'
Disable all add-on extensions except for one dictionary.
Check to see if that dictionary is an up to date version.
then select 'Dictionaries'
This is where the default dictionary is located.
In my case it is 'United States English Spellchecker'
make sure this is disabled.
The idea being to ensure that only one dictionary is enabled and that it is up to date. Then check to see if the spell check works.
If you have other dictionaries, go through the process of enabling one dictionary, checking it is up to date and then testing the spell check.
Please confirm which dictionaries you have installed.
for example, I have British English Dictionary 1.19.1 and it is located under Tools > Addons > 'Extensions' and it is enabled.
I also have under:
Tools > Addons > 'Dictionaries'
'United States English Spellchecker' 7.0.1 but this is disabled.
Tell us what you have and report back on the testing.

I can't turn off auto correct on iPad

When I type an emai, the auto correct above the keyboard keeps suggesting words. I have gone into Settings-General and turned off Auto-Correction (and everything else too). But when I type an email or go into Safari on my iPad, it keeps suggesting words that makes no sense and makes it very inefficient for me. Does anyone know why even after turning auto correction off, it still is enabled?
Thanks

Since I updated my iPad to iOS 5 - spell check works erratically and sporadically as well so I have issues with the way this whole thing works.
Have you tried resetting the Keyboard Dictionary? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary. It is a totally different setting that really shouldn't impact auto correct all - its merely a suggestion borne out of the "Throw enough crap against the wall and hope that something will stick" mentality.
If nothing else works, another standard procedure would be to restore your iPad. If you can restore from a backup that predates this issue, that should work for you.

Undo auto-correction for typing particular words into Pages

This is starting to drive me nuts - whenever I type the word "march" Pages automatically capitalizes it to "March". Is there any way to stop it from capitalizing this word without turning off auto capitalizing?
I realise it may sound trivial but I am using this word a fair bit and it just takes up time having to constantly go back and correct it, then I have to be careful not to change the sentence or it auto-corrects back again.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

(K_Gal: This primarily addresses RHPC's issue, but does include some comments regarding yours)
B
RHPC:
Yours is a different issue than that described in the initial post in this thread.
Pages has several auto-correction features, all set in the auto-correction pane of Pages Preferences. The two indicated by the arrows are the significant ones in this thread as started and in your hijack of this thread.
Fix capitalization (blue arrow) applies a format (CAPITAL or UPPER) to the initial letters of 'sentences' and words identified as 'proper nouns' (such as "March") in the spelling dictionary. It performs no action on 'words' that have been typed with initial capitals.
In the examples above, the first two lines were typed with 'Fix capitalization' unchecked. The second pair of lines were typed using exactly the same keystrokes as the first, but with 'Fix capitalization' checked. Note that both occurrences of 'will' are the same in each set.
"Automatically use spell checker suggestions" (red arrow) does precisely what it says: If a 'word' is not found in the spelling dictionary, the spell checker will make a 'best guess' and suggest that as a possible replacement. If the 'Automatically use…" box is checked, then Pages will immediately accept the first suggestion, replacing the 'questionable word' with the spell checkers first ('best') suggestion.
There are at least two solutions to this issue:
Uncheck the box and don't use auto-correction. (works for either of these issues)
Teach the spellchecker the correct spelling of the Polish name. (does not work in the case of march/March, which is part of the base dictionary)
To do this:
Go Pages (menu) > Preferences... Auto-Correction
Uncheck the "Automatically use…" box.
Close Preferences
Open a new Pages word processing document.
Type the Polish name.
Ensure that the spelling and capitalization is correct.
Right click on the name and choose Learn Spelling.
Go Pages > Preferences… Auto-Correction
Recheck the "Automatically use…" box
Close Preferences.
Done.
Pages (and other applications using the system's spell checker dictionary) will now recognize the spelling of this name and will not 'correct' it.
(K_Gal: Unfortunately, when I tried this on "march" the contextual menu did not include the Learn Spelling option , probably because the dictionary already 'knew' how to spell "March". I'd suggest using the Provide Pages Feedback item in the Pages message to report this to apple, and request a feature enhancement to the Fix capitalization feature.)
Regards,
Barry

Pages IWORK'08 spell check doesn't work--here's the fix

Pages stopped spell checking. Some suggested deleting com.apple.iwork.pages.plist off the HD in case Pages was corrupted so it could rebuild the spell check feature but that was not necessary in my case. Here is the painless fix.
-Open a pages document
-Go to Edit and SELECT ALL
-Then go to INSPECTOR text (blue T) MORE and be sure language is set to English, then close out of Inspector
-Go to EDIT, SPELLING and set “check spelling as you type” or "Check spelling"
Just remember that PAGES needs to know what you want to do so you have to SELECT ALL for it to check everything on the document.

That is not sufficient if you have not also corrected your Text Styles to the appropriate language.
Text is styled with a language, usually the default, just as it is with a font or color.
Unless you update all your styles and use them, every time you reintroduce new text or use those like Free Form you will have text with either the wrong language or no language.

Spell checking doesn't work at all

I can't get any of the spelling related features to work for Pages 2. It won't spell-check the document, nor will it underline words with Check Spelling As you Type.
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Which is your login language? That should be what decides what spelling dictionary is used. If you login language doesn't have any spelling dictionary, the default language is probably "none".
Check in the Inspector > Text > More. If the Language is set to "None" that is your problem. The solution is to select a language of course.
