Leopard- Mail, window telling me the spell checker can't be found

Leopard- In Mail, I'm getting a window telling me the spell checker can't be found, and stopping me from answering emails or typing anything. The spell checker seeems to work in Notebook.
Any suggestions??
Looking forward to your bailing me out.
The best, Marc

Yes, if you know where it is now. Aperture cannot help you find them, only where it last saw them, but if you tell it where they are, it can reconnect them.

Why doesn't Thunderbird underline misspelled words so that the spell checker can suggest alternatives?

I can't activate spell checker because there are no misspelled words underlined, when I know that there are.

To enable underlining of incorrectly spelt words as you type:
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Spelling' tab
or
'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Spelling' tab
select : 'Enable spell check as you type'
click on OK
However, you do not have to have this enabled in order to use Spellcheck.
Click on 'Spelling' in the toolbar, it will open a small window offering potential spelling corrections for mispelt words.

I have an i4 and have I tunes my main library on my home computer. So when I downloaded the I-tunes at my office and hooked up my phone to the computer its telling me the pairing record can not be found?? Whats the solution to this??

I have an i4 and my home computer is where I created my I-tunes and now I have downloaded it at another computer but when I hook up my I-phone to my other computer it tells me that I-tunes could not connect to the I-phone because the pairing record is missing. Does anyone know what I need to do?

I might be able to experiment with this a little.
Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?

What do i need to do to cancel the spell check before the mail is sent

What do I need to do to cancel the spell check before mail is sent

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, just confirming that you realize you can always access your AOL email account by going directly to www.aol.com from the Safari browser (or Firefox, Chrome, etc.) until you get the Apple Mail problem fixed.
If you cannot connect directly through a browser, it's quite possible that AOL is doing maintenance or having a temporary problem. It happens with surprising frequency to most online hosts. I usually check downrightnow.com, but AOL is not one of the services for which they collect trouble reports.
Reconnecting your Apple Mail to your AOL account:
In the Apple Mail menubar, click on the Mailbox, Get New Mail, and highlight the AOL account.
You should see the 'spinning wheel' next to the account name for a moment while your AOL mail is retrieved.
That should successfully reconnect you.
Occasionally my ISP seems to corrupt a few packets and I'll get a message that all my external email account password are rejected, and asks me to re-enter them. Instead of re-entering passwords, I click 'cancel', and use this same procedure to re-connect.
NOTE: I'm on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, and Mail 4.5 (1084) but I believe the process to reconnect did not change since OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Mail sends pre-maturely BEFORE spell check completes!

Recently upgraded to 10.8.5 on an iMac and am experiencing premature SENDING when using the "check spelling when I hit Send" option in my mail account. I am using a gmail account.
If I move the curser into the body of the email to manually correct something, WHILE spellcheck is running, the email just FLIES out and gets sent prematurely! I do not hit "send," because the spell check is NOT FINISHED conducting its check. It sends prematurely.
This is a bizarre development. Since i have used the Mail program on this same imac for years,
Started seeing this regularly with the OS upgrade to 10.8.5.
I was told elsewhere to look for a ".plist" file in my Library. I have located NUMEROUS .plist files but I am not sure what to do with them.
Needless to say, far too many of my emails are being sent without proper editing! Problem is embarrassing!
Please HELP!

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ Accounts
Select one of your IMAP accounts in the list on the left, then open the Mailbox Behaviors tab, Uncheck the box marked
Store draft messages on the server
Do the same in your other IMAP accounts. Save the changes when prompted.

In gmail the spell checker underlines the ends of words that are spelled correctly. Annoying at best.

running firefox 16.0.1 on pc with windows 7. This seems to have started with new version upgrade. In gmail the spell checker highlights last parts of words that are spelled correctly.

You probably see this bug (fixed in Firefox 21):
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812638 bug 812638] - (font_size_bloat) TB is inserting/adding loads of redundant/incorrect/random <font size="x"> tags in the middle of corrected words (partially erased with backspace or DEL, then retyped) with certain valid font size attributes in HTML message source; causes spelling issues
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790475 bug 790475] - Spell checking broken (fixed in Firefox 19)

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,+

Would like to verify Time Machine backup but when I enter TM and then open iPhoto, it only provides me a gray window telling me the size of the file. How do I make sure all iPhoto pictures have been backed up on Time Machine?

Yes, that's for network backups only.
What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea). See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

Why wont the spell check function work in a fillable form? Please help deadline looming.

Spell check wont work. Have read through various internet help solutions but no luck so far.
I have windows 7 64 bit.
The forms are on a CD-Rom (from about 10 years ago) but I have up to Adobe date software on my PC.
Edit-Preferences-Spelling shows I have English United Kingdom selected and the check box, check spelling whilst typing is ticked.
When I press F7 and start it finds nothing even though I have made deliberate mistakes to check if it's working.
Any help would really be appreciated.

It's possible the author of the file disabled the spell-checking option for this field.

I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?

I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?

Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

Look at the Spelling settings in the Edit menu of the app that is doing the correcting.

Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

Inspector > Text > More > Language
Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

I can't change the spell check to UK English

On a Mac with an existing CS6 InDesign document, I have tried everything to change the spell check to use a UK language, e.g., I want "programme", not "program".
1. Before I open the document, I have selected InDesign/Preferences/Dictionary and changed to English: UK language.
2. Once the document is opened:
- I have changed all the paragraph styles (Advanced Character Formats) to English: UK language;
- I have no Character Styles so nothing to change there;
- I have gone to Edit/Spelling/User Dictionary and changed language to English: UK.
When I open Edit/Spelling/Check Spelling, the language is set to English: UK. But when I start to spell check, it doesn't pick up any of the words that I know need changing for UK English (i.e., programme, not program)!
Help! What else can I do?

The Australian dictionary is just the British Dictionary renamed, it doesn't recognise any Aussie words that aren't included in the British version.
Don't know why Apple even bothered except to pat us on the head and pretend they cared.
Languages btw are applied like any other style like bold or color or font. You select the text you want to be something and apply the Language.
