Mac 10.10 (Yosemite), 365 2011for Mac, Disabling Spelling and Grammar for GCSE examinations in UK

I have a network of 20 new iMacs and manage them through a Mac OS 10.10 Server. I have  created a number of groups on the server and would like
to allocate restricted permissions for each group. One group - the GCSE and Controlled Assessment group, requires access only to Word and Excel but in addition, the disabling of spelling and grammar facilities (in all its forms) across all relevant software
- for public examination purposes. I would like to do this centrally, on the server but cannot see how to disable spelling etc. without also disabling other functions. I am happy to disable the facility on each machine (which will of course, affect other users).
Any help would be gratefully received.

    I lost spelling and grammar check on my word after upgrading to yosemite

    Also search/ask in the forums run by the people who make that app.  Word does not use any Apple spelling or grammar stuff.

  • Mac Pro setup and expansions for Pro Audio applications? Help please...!

    Hello everyone.
    I want to buy an 8 core mac pro mainly for professional audio applications (Logic, plugins etc) and I have a few questions about upgrading and expansion.
    1. Since Logic is a 32 bit application and can only address up to 4GB of RAM, does it worth upgrading to 16GB or should I spend the money upgrading the processors?
    2. I've noticed that the Mac Pro has three (excluding the graphics card slot) full length PCI Express slots. Can I install a PCIe card with the shorter connectors? (like this UAD-2 DSP card: http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2quadomni/index.html)
    3. Can the Mac Pro handle hard disk drives with capacity grater than 1TB and HDDs with speeds grater than 7200 rpm internally? If yes, why Apple doesn't have these options within the Apple Store?
    I know that my questions may be a bit silly but since this is a big investment I would like to get everything right.
    Any help and advice would be very much appreciated...

    Windows 32-bit I have some bookmarked articles, but each app/process has its own 2GB address space and uses page and swap a lot more than Mac.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
    Free memory doesn't sit idle or go to waste, even Vista/7 will cache 3-4GB to improve system performance. And it isn't released until or unless freed, not fixed or locked and someone else requests more. Mac OS and Mac Pro especially need more memory, and it does show benefits.
    A lot depends on how well written software is to take full and proper advantage. And that is ongoing.
    Snow Leopard takes a step further into 64-bit, the first time that 64-bit drivers have been attempted. Big review of Snow Leo:

  • HT4481 i have purchased a APP from the app store in itunes, it s air nav pro and was downloaded on the the ipad. now i tried to log in in the mac app store and searched for the app but it does not recognize my purchaes ! any ideas? i dont want to buy it a

    does anyone know what to do ?

    The apps in the iTunes App Store are for iOS devices, iPhones, iPads, etc. The apps in the Mac App Store are for Macs. Apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs. Apps for Macs do not run on iOS devices. Your purchases in the iTunes App Store will never show up in the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store. They are two different versions of apps for two different operating systems. If a developer has developed a version for both platforms they must be purchased separately.

  • Can I disable drag and drop for bookmarks?

    If not, it would be nice to have that ability in a future release, even if just added to about:config. Sometimes when I click on a folder in the bookmarks menu, Firefox thinks I want to move it when I don't. Thankfully I can hit escape to cancel the operation. However, there are times when I don't catch it and the folder ends up moved to the bottom of the list (or worse, into another folder).

    Note that it should be possible to use "Organize > Undo" in the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) to undo such accidental changes, provided that you haven't closed Firefox.

  • How do I use my Mac's mic and speaker when answering a phone call?

    Whenever I receive a phone call on my iPhone and answer it on my Mac, the speaker and mic on the iPhone are used for the call rather than the Mac. On an older Mac I was using, when I answered a call from my iPhone, it used the Mac's speaker and mic for the call. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this on the new Mac? When I make calls from the Mac, it uses the speaker and mic, but it doesn't when I answer them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • My Mid-2011 Macbook Air becomes extremely hot when installing apps from the Mac App Store and when deleting apps

    My Mid-2011 Macbook Air 13-inch (OSX 10.8.1 Mountain Lion) becomes hot to the touch when trying to delete large documents, watching videos after waking it from sleep-mode and when installing applications from the Mac App Store. This has also been happening with OSX Lion before I upgraded it to Mountain Lion.

When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    What needed to be done the day that you set up the new Mac was go into the Mac App Store (MAS), sign into your iTunes/MAS Apple ID, go to the Purchases pane and Accept the iLife apps that would have been there in a special section. That would have sent you Mac's unique identifier code to Apple's servers and verified that this Mac was eligible for the bundled iLife suite and then registered these apps into your MAS account.
    You might try going to  ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist, delete the adption plist, restart the Mac and then go to the Purchaes pane and see if you can Accept the apps into your account.

  • I have made the switch to MAC from PC and I use Sony cameras/video recorders. I used the Sony PMB program to store all photos and videos. Now I need to transfer my photos and videos over to my MAC and I do not know how to do this as PMB is not supported

    I need to transfer all my photos and videos from my old PC stored in the SONY PMB program to my new fabulous MAC desktop. I do not know how I can do this. Plus for future photos/videos, how can I upload them from Sony products ?

    Do you know where the actual photo files are located on your laptop? If so, you can transfer them to the Mac over a LAN or by saving them to an external HDD, thumb drive or burning them to a disk. Then you can import the photos to the iPhoto app that came on your new Mac.
    It would be the same process for the videos, however, it would depend what type of video files they are, as to which Mac app might allow you to view them.
    BTW, since your Mac is new you need to Accept the iLife apps; iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie into your Mac App Store/iTunes account. Open the MAS, sign into you account, go to the Purchased pane and accept the apps.

  • I recently purchased U2 Any DVD Ripper on Mac App Store and can not get it to work!  Help!!

    I can not find any documentation on how to use this software.  I can not figure out how to get it to copy a DVD to Mp4 format on my media hard drive, allowing me to watch the video on my apple tv.  Please help or direct me to get a refund for this $14.99 purchase. 

    Did you reset your PRAM?
    command-option- p-r
    Hold down all four keys as the mac starts up and wait for the chimes to ring twice. Then let the machine start up as usual.
    If it works be sure to check your date and time settings (the system will tell you)
    You can also start up from your system disk holding down the c key as it starts-- go past the language screen and open disk utilities from the menu bar run disk repair and then repair permissions. Set your startup disk to your new drive.
    Hopefully that will take care of the problem.

    I have been using the Mac App Store from day one and have never seen this area of which you speak. There are a number of apps where the developer has created both a Mac version and an iOS version, but I haven't a clue how you would do a search of the Mac App Store to find them.

  • Mac App Store acting strangely for about a month now

    I have snow leopard and when I go into the Mac App store, and click on "Categories", I then cannot click on headings such as "Productivity" or "Games". But I can click on the items under those headings. When I say "cannot click" I mean that when I click on the heading, it blinks as though I did click on it, but then it goes nowhere, just stays at that main category screen. It does it for every catergory heading. Everything else working fine with my system. I have 10.6.8, imac 21.5. I also have a macbook air that I have upgraded to mountain lion and it works fine on that machine. Not sure what is going on, such an odd problem to have. Sure does slow me down from buying on the mac app store, that's for sure, hmmm, maybe this is a good thing LOL. Seriously though, any help would be appreciated.

    It's not just you and your kit, it is behaving that way for me as well in Mountain Lion. So I surmise it is doing that for everyone.

  • Satellite P - How to disable hibernation and standby?

    I have set power configuration to say Never for both Hibernation and Standby - both occur.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I would be happy with Standby but do NOT want Hibernation!

    Hi p g allison,
    Did you set these settings for current power profile?
    For example if you disable standby and hibernation for High Performance power profile but you are using or switch to Balanced the settings dont work.
    So check if they are disabled in all power profiles!!!

  • Disable autocorrect and spelling/grammar check features with Computer GPO

    We have two classrooms that need to have all the autocorrect and spelling and grammar check disabled.  I know there is a way to do it by a user GPO, but is it possible to do it by computer (with a registry change, etc)?  We can't do it by user
    because outside of the class the students will need these autocorrect options for typing papers and such.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I'm sorry that it's been a while since I posted on this topic, but I am just now having to revisit this issue.  I tried just pushing out the registry entries though a GPO, but I have been told it is not working.  I tried creating a Startup script
    option, as in this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2007/08/14/deploying-custom-registry-changes-through-group-policy.aspx
    But it will not run.  The script itself works, as I have tested it manually.  I will include the body of the registry settings below.  Any suggestions are appreciated.
