Is There a Way To Turn OFF Auto-Correct?

I'm finally getting the hang of the virtual keyboard, but now it's taking me twice as long to post a text msg 'cause it keeps trying to correct me. Please help.

As the other poster mentioned, you cannot turn it off but it will learn (if you tell it).
As mentioned, if you type and know you typed the write letters but see another word trying to replace, tap the little X next to the suggested word.
When you do, here is what happens.
1. If the word is already in the dictionary, it will increase the "rating/weight" on it. So over time it will become the suggested word for those letters. If the word it was suggesting is a very common word and yours isn't, this could take some time as it will slowly adjust the weights of each.
2. If the word is NOT in the dictionary, it will add it and then it will be like number 1 above.
So remember, click the X when you see wrong words, don't just backup and try to retype, else it will never learn. Yes backing up and just fixing is sometimes easiere and after some time, is fine, once you taught it most of the common names/words you type.

  • 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?

  • How can I turn off auto-correct in my iPad?

    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.

  • Way to Turn Off Auto Backup every time iPod Touch connected to computer?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Is there a way to Turn Off Auto Backup when one connects iPod Touch to computer?
    Auto backup to have started ever since 3.0 update.
    Sometimes I am just adding one track from iTunes to my iPod.
    Don't want to go through the 15-20 min. backup process each and every time.
    1. I uncheck "Sync Applications," but the default seems to Check it each time I open iTunes.
    2. Under iTunes/Preferences - Under "Devices" - I checked "Disable Automatic Syncing."
    3. I always have Music, Movies, etc. unchecked under "Sync" as I prefer to Sync these manually.
    So I am puzzled - why - when I plug in my iPod Touch, iTunes opens and automatically starts "backing up."

    if you're familiar with the terminal, exit iTunes, open up a terminal window and type this:
    "defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true" (without the qoutes)
    and press return. That will disable the automatic backup, and you will NOT have a new backup if the device craps. Please remeber that.
    To turn backup back on: exit iTunes, open up a terminal window and type this:
    "defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool false" (without the qoutes)
    and press return.
    Now the backup is turned back on.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • CS6 Multicam Edit - Is there a way to turn off some camera angles when the system gets strained?

    I'm doing a multicam edit in cs6 and the 5 camera angles I have are straining my system.  I have two main angles and three kind of back up go pro angles that I don't need most of the time.  But I don't want to get rid of them either.  Is there a way to turn off monitoring some of the angles at times so that video will playback smoother?  Then when I need the other angles, switch them back on when I want?  The video is so choppy with all 5 angles monitoring at once that multicam editing is basically impossible.  I'm editing on what's supposed to be a very fast system at work but it's not fast enough...Thanks!

    I'm not aware of any way to do this. You might want to invest in a battery case if this is a problem for you; our users here all have them.
    Please submit your feature request to Apple at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback; I agree it's a good idea.

  • In iOS 7 is there a way to turn off that new camera burst mode?

    I like the old camera ability to keep your finger on the shutter and release to take a photo. It helps avoid camera blur with certain close shots you are trying to frame, and was one of my favorite "hints on using your camera" for the iPhone.
    But with iOS 7 this has turned into burst mode, which is driving me crazy.
    Is there a way of turning off burst mode for the shutter button and having it work like it did before?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Thanks, Doug.  I'm a little disappointed to discover so few of us who miss what I consider one of the iPhone camera's cleverest refinements.  Being able to hold one's finger on the shutter and release to take the photo is something I did by habit, and now sorely miss.
    Most troubling to me is that the change represents a shift to favoring an entirely new way of taking photographs — a style I'd conservatively call, "by the seat of your pants".  That's never the way I've taken photographs. 
    Like Nadnerb19, I'm hoping Apple reconsiders its priorities, and gives us the option to make a choice between machine gun style photography and the steadier, more 'focused' approach afforded by previous versions of iOS.
