Language preference won't revert back on e-mails and texts

I changed my language preference to French under settings/general/language&region, to test a French app and later reverted back to English. This somehow has affected my e-mails and texts and now my e-mails and texts language (spell check) is french. I've verified the language setting and it is English . . .Apple support wants to charge me $35.00 for the priviledge of telling them they have defects in their product.
Any help here would be appreciated.

spellcheck is determined by the keyboard setting (not language).  Tap the globe key and switch to English.  Or go to settings/general/keyboard/keyboards and delete the French keyboard which was probably added when you played with the French language preference.

  • Revert back to Apple mail from Outlook 2011

    I migrated my PST file from Outlook 2010 to the Mac Outlook 2011. In doing so I have discovered that the synching does not work. Is there any way to move my Outlook 2011 back to Apple mail and still retain my folders and emails? I have data that is several years old and need to retain the information. I'm not as concerned about the calendar as I use a 3rd party calendar program. Using Outlook 2011, my contacts and notes do not sync and from what I understand there is no immediate fix. Any thought would be appreciated!

    I want to know the easiest way to transfer emails from Ms outlook 2011 to apple mail.
    I am stuck in this situation from a very long time and haven't found any solution yet.
    Do not want to opt for Imap transfer coz a have thousands of mails to transfer.
    Please provide me some smart and easy solutions.
    Thanks in advance.
    You need to have information about the process to get mbox files from olm files which can be easily accessed over apple platform.

  • User preferences reverted back to default - mail gone

    Preferences seem to have gone back to default. I have only 1 user account on my mac. All bookmarks, mail account details, appearence etc have all reverted. The only thing that I have done today that was out of the ordinary was 'organising my fonts' according to Suitcase website - ie deleting/moving unwanted system fonts from various folders. I'm sure I haven't deleted any significant system folders as all my trashed files are still in bin. Any ideas?

    OK you can stand down - problem over! Had a chat with those nice people from Customer Care - turned out I had accidentally moved my User Library folder into somewhere else. Hence the OS created a whole new Libray folder with default preference...Duh!
    Best way to find out if you have done this is run a search on one of the files within Library and it will show up in 2 places - just replace the newly created folder with the moved one.

  • I installed firefox beta 5 and flash crashed on every page so i reverted back to firefox 4 and now flash crashes on every page of firefox 4. how can i fix it?

    Ever since i installed firefox 5 beta and the new version of flash, flash crashes on every page with flash on it no matter what version of firefox i run, and flash wont let me roll back to another version. I need flash for my work which is due by the end of the day so any help yall can offer is appreciated.

    well i fixed this for a bit by reinstalling ff4 and restarting but now the firefox 4 that i re-downloaded continues to very aggressively update itself to 5 beta without asking me. it just notifies me once its done it telling me to restart and once i close firefox, boom. flash crashes every minute or so and freezes my computer. I love firefox. i have used it for years. but if no one can help with this problem or at least tell me how to stop firefox 4 from updating to firefox beta 5 im gonna go download something else because im losing money fighting with firefox to get my work done which is now taking 10 times longer to complete. i really want to keep using firefox but this is kinda ridiculous guys... I understand that betas have bugs but dont make me use it without asking me first...

  • Is it possible to revert back to Mavericks mail?

    I am either too stupid or Yosemite's mail does not work the way I'm accustomed to.  In all previous iterations you select as many individual addressee's as you wanted and place them in the address heading.  I have not found a way to do that in Yosemite.  You must choose them individually and place in the address header one at a time.  That ***.  I know about groups but that is not a good avenue as many of my emails go to random people depending on content.  If the above is not possible do have an email you reccomend that would let me send to multiple addressees in one operation.  I do not use Gmail, Yahoo, etc. . .  My email is from 3rd party provider.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Thanks for the info.
    I had not realised that way was an option (the is a similar blue + in Messages that I am more familiar with which has always been one person at a time)
    As you say no usual Modifier keys seems to work for Multiple selection.

    Have you tried deleting them, then deleting them again from your 'Deleted Messages'.

    Before I answer, it should be clarified that the people in here are not developers or Mozilla employees. The people that answer questions here are users just like you, volunteering their time.
    You can get downloads for different languages at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
    Just download and install the Arabic version version, and your current data (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) should still be there.

  • Won't save photos from e-mail or texts?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I purchased in March.  Last month while trying to save a photo from a text, I went into the camera roll and in its place was a gray box with "JPG" in the middle where the photo should have been.  Also, when I first clicked on the Photos app there was a very quick "Sorry, we're experiencing technical difficulties" screen that was so fast that I can't really remember if that's what it said exactly.
    I called Apple tech support twice and they had me Reset All Settings, set up the phone as new on iTunes, restore it, then sync with the last backup I had had.  This worked just fine until last night it happened again.  I redid all of those steps but it will not work.
    If I take a picture or save it from safari/google images it works just fine and shows up.  However, it still will not let me save an image from a MMS text or from an e-mail.
    Anybody else experience this or know what to do to be able to do this again?
    (I was able to successfully do it that whole month in between when I called Apple in April until last night.  I saved one from a text just last week)

  • Why do system preferences revert back to default every time computer is restarted

    Cannot keep changes to System preferences.  All revert back to default every time computer is restarted.
    Also, all extensions, e.g. adblock, reinstall every time computer is restarted.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • System preferences won't save changes

    When making changes in my system preferences, say changing the screensaver, the change does not save. When I go back into the preferences, they have reverted back to the previous setting. It's also doing the same thing with Safari. When I delete all website info in the preferences, it reverts back to the previous. I just upgraded to 10.7.1, but it was doing it before with 10.6 as well. Any idea what's causing this?

    Possible conflicting or corrupted files, usually preference files. Step one is create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if changes persist.

  • System Preference lock always reverts to Unlocked

    For some reason, when I shut down/restart, the Time Machine System Preference lock always reverts back to the unlocked position.
    I periodically go and check it and it's always the same thing.

    I, too, am having such issues.
    Running Leopard, MBP 2.33.
    Since updating to Leopard, I cannot seem to lock my padlock... EVER!
    e.g., I "get info" for some folder, and unlock the small padlock at the bottom right to modify the preferences. After entering admin password and unlocking the lock, I cannot "re-lock" the padlock.
    Moreover, my System Preferences folder is ALWAYS UNLOCKED! I cannot change it.
    In fact, if I switch to a "standard" user account, they are still unlocked!
    Funny enought, I happen to be listening to music at the same time, and it continued to play while in the standard account.
    Seriously wacky stuff going on with permissions.
    Any help? Anyone?

  • How do I revert back to the old operating system?  The new upgrade that came out totally disabled my WiFi and the default backgrounds changed to white instead of bla k.

    An upgrade was sent to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone on 3/27/15 and it ruined my phone.  I no longer have the ability to Wi-Fi.  When I swipe the phone on there is a clicking sound and the scree goes directly to my keypad.  I want the phone to go to my home screen like it did before.  My apps that had a black background now have a white background which is impossible to see outdoors.  I want the black background back for settings, clock, and calculator.  Samsung tech support says this stuff is default with the new upgrade.  How do I revert back to the version I had before without having to put the phone back to factory settings and lose all my pictures, memos and other files I have accumulated over the last year that I have had the phone.  I am desparate.  Please help me.  Send an e-mail to (removed)

    You cannot revert back without voiding warranty and we cannot discuss the methods to do so.

  • Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers

    Printer Queue Settings Mysteriously Reverting Back to Default Settings on 2008 R2 print servers
    We have 4 Windows Server 2008 R2 print servers, all of which has the same printer queues installed on them that are utilized by a 3rd party printing program that does a round-robin load balancing scheme.  
    All printers are a combination of HP and Xerox all running some variation of the HP UPD and the Xerox UPD.  Some use the PCL 5 and some use the PCL 6 version determined by age of printer and need.  
    There are typically two printer queues for each physical printer.  
    Example:
    LOCATION_ROOM
    LOCATION_ROOM_TRAY2
    The regular queue is ok being left with default setting,
    The _TRAY2 queues are set to print to "labels" or "pre-printed" paper type or a specific tray.
    From time to time, these _TRAY2 queues will revert back to a factory default state and lose the setting to print to a specific paper type or tray.  Sometimes it happens to the _TRAY2 queue on all 4 servers, sometimes just 1 server, etc.  No rhyme
    or reason.
    Disabled Bi-directional options on both the HP and Xerox UPDs per another article on the internet that said bi-directional could cause the printer to send back settings to the driver and cause this issue.  Even with this option off, we continue to see
    printer _TRAY2 queue settings revert back to factory default and lose their specific paper and tray settings.  We have ruled out the possibility that users or other technicians are the ones making these changes so we suspect it is some interaction between
    the servers, printer drivers and printers themselves causing the issue.  
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd start by using one of the print drivers included in Windows for a few of the printers and confirm it's the universal driver that is causing the issue.
    HP installs some other processes and services on the machine which communicate with the HP devices. 
    PML and something else.  You might want to shut those down and see if these processes are the ones modifying the settings.
    Run process monitor to truly identify which processes is causing the modifications.
