Mac: When I click on a misspelled word in the body of an email the spell checker defaults to first word in the email even if it already spelled correctly

The spell checker identifies incorrect spelled words, however when I right click or control click the word the spell checker only highlights in yellow the first word in the email and gives a dialog with the spelling and definition even though that word already correctly spelled. This is version 33.1 on my mac desktop running 10.10. Spell checking works properly if I use Safari.

Ive just signed up for the adobe photoshop pack, i use a mac, when i click download, nothing is happening.. Am I doing something wrong?? When I try and open the software I already had from trial it says its expired, or i need to use a serial number... HELP Anyone else experienced this?

If there is an option to "license this software", and it takes you to a sign-in page with username and password (not a serial number) - then just go ahead and sign in.
If it insists on a serial number you need to uninstall the trial. Then try to download again.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

Is anyone having problems syncing iPhoto to iPad 2 after iOS 7.0.3 update? when I click on photos tab, I get a circular dashed loading icon that is perpetually there. It never loads the library

When I click on photos tab, I get a circular dashed loading icon that is perpetually there. It never loads the library. i dont even see the iphoto content! thx for your help!

I am certain too that it is possibly the 7.0.3 update. Have you tried restoring from backup? I am uncertain that might work but its worth a try.
If that doesn't work I suggest that you give feedback to Apple directly. The more about this problem, the quicker it will get resolved.

Spell Check and changing multiple instances of the same word

Hi, sorry if this has been brought up before.. I can't seem to find any reference, so here's my dilemma:
My main writing language in Pages is Spanish and when it comes time for me to run the spell check, I usually have to change the same word a lot, because of missing accents and such. (I'd rather concentrate on writing and not worry about whether it has the right accent). Does Pages have any way to automatically detect when a word has been corrected, and pass the correction to any other instance of that word? I have tried using Find and Replace, but its not perfect, changing perfectly spelled words to include any corrections because the words, I think, appear similar. Is there a trick within Pages to do this? Does anyone know if the new version of Pages includes such a feature? Apple's iWork website and presentations fail to mention it...
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I got it working, thanks es5f2000. I sat and thought about it and worked it out. (Pretty simple) Heres the code:
public void findWord()
         x = iTab.getEditorList(iTab.getIndex());
         try
           int index = x.getDocument().getText(0, x.getDocument().getLength()).toLowerCase().indexOf(tFindText.getText().toLowerCase());
           int index2 = x.getDocument().getText(0, x.getDocument().getLength()).toLowerCase().indexOf(tFindText.getText().toLowerCase(), x.getCaretPosition());
           if (index >= 0)
             System.out.println("found:)" + index);
             x.requestFocus();
             x.select(index, index + tFindText.getText().length());
             if(x.getCaretPosition() > 0)
               System.out.println("found:)" + index2);
               x.requestFocus();
               x.select(index2, index2 + tFindText.getText().length());
           else
             System.out.println("Not found:(");
         catch(BadLocationException ie) {}
      }

Is App data transfered to my new Mac when I click "Transfer Purchases"?

I've been using my iPhone on a PC, it died, and I bought a Mac Pro. I am trying to sync my phone to the new Mac. I transferred all my purchases off the phone, synced contacts, notes, and photos. Now I want to enable syncing of Apps and Music.
I know the Music will be wiped, no problem. And I know the Apps will be wiped and replaced with the apps transfered to the Mac. But what about the App data?
I've searched the forum but I can't find an answer as to whether or not the App data is transferred off the iPhone when I went through the "Transfer Purchases" stuff. And I REALLY don't want to lose the app data!
For example I use an app to track my smoking habits so I can cut down on smoking and eventually quit (Down from a pack a day to half a pack in just a month!).
Any help will be appreciated.

I'll answer my own question for anyone else that needs the answer.
The answer is YES.
I backed up my iPhone first (Right click on iPhone under devices and click backup) and then checked the Sync applications box on the applications tab and synced. It worked.
I want to thank myself tremendously for all my help! I really couldn't have done it without me.

I have a MAC, when I click on a picture tile in google the selected image will not open, Why?

When I do a Google search for a product or person on the right side of the page is a little bit of specific information and if available a a little square with a prompt for more images. Clicking on that prompt brings you to a full page of related pictures. On all my computers when you click on a specific picture tile it becomes large then you can close the picture and go back to the tile page. On the computer I'm having trouble with when I click on a specific tile on the tile page nothing happens, the screen stays on the tile page.
This is not a computer problem because when I follow the same procedure in Safari everything works just like it is supposed to, so this has to be a problem with the Firefox setting on this particular computer. This is a fairly new issue, with in the last few months.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi fullertondigital,
Thank you for your question. I understand that websites, such as the google image search, are not displaying the same way in another browser. In order to make sure that this is not caused by an add on please see if it happens in [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
It could also be that you need to select the option to open the image in a new page. The new image search has the block bock appear when you select one of the images. Make sure that javascript is enabled for this animation to work correctly on the page.

My new ipod touch is recognized under devices but wont sync anything or show any of the ipod info when i click on it, my new ipod touch is recognized under devices but wont sync anything or show any of the ipod info when i click on it

My new ipod touch is recognized under devices when i plug it into my computer but when i click on it, all that shows up is the word ipod in the middle of the screen. it wont let me sync anything on it either.

It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

Thunderbird locks up when using spell check to replace a word

When composing an email, somtimes when spell check is offering me the correct spelling, it locks up. By locks up I mean that the
spellcheck window stays up. It won't allow me to select anything on that window, or the window the email I was writing in, or the
main Thunderbird window, but clicking on minumize. But won't let me do anything else in Thunderbird. I have to go and kill the
thunderbird process loosing everything I had done to that point. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 3.2.0-77-generic (#114-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 10 17:25:28 UTC 2015) on an old Dell 530 MT Workstation, 2 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1700MHz, and 1 gig memory.

When you install a MXI-3 card in the PC and the PXI chassis, there is a MXI Initialization disk that you get which installs the MXI-3 Optimization program on your PC, which must run on bootup of the PC.
Also, your PXI chassis must be powered on FIRST before your PC is powered up.
Have you done both of these tasks first?

Is it possible for pages spell check to not flag words that are found on wikipedia?

I'm using Pages 5.2.2 in OSX 10.9.5 and type lots of medical and science words into pages. These words are not found in the default dictionary and are thus flagged as misspelled words (red underline). They are found on wikipedia and I have enabled wikipedia in the dictionary app. For instance, the word "epiglottitis" is flagged. When I right click on it and select "Look up 'epiglottitis'", the dictionary popup opens and the word is found.
Is there a way to adjust the spell check settings so that it does not flag words that it can find on Wikipedia? If this could be done in iOS as well, it would be fantastic. Thanks!

Thanks! I also discovered that I can add dictionaries for the spellchecker in "Library > Spelling" and then go to "System Preferences > Keyboard > Text > Spelling > Set up..." and select them there, so that may be a faster way to add words to the spellchecker.

Mail Spell Check started underlining all words as incorrect

Hi Folks.
This is my first post/question. I have searched for the answer on these forums and elsewhere but can't locate any suggestions. Forgive me if I have overlooked anything useful already posted.
My question relates to Spell Check in Mail.
For some reason, my spell check has started underlining all words with red squiggles with the exception of a few common words (eg 'the' 'and')
I'm not the best speller - but I'm not getting 98% of my word wrong. But Mail spell check thinks I am.
Does anyone know why this has started to happen and how it can be fixed?
Thanks

Thanks Tom. That solved the problem.
How strange that the dictionary switched to Spanish overnight.
Thanks again.
Mark

I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo- "Alert. Couldn't contact Spell Checker." It slows everything down and I get the beach ball

Alert! Couldn’t contact Spell Checker. I keep getting this message when I try to type a mail in yahoo. I get the beach ball and it slows down everything.This has been happening since yesterday. Please help if anyone else has had similar problems or has ideas to fix this. Thanks.

Chris,
I am having Spell Check probs too - it underlines, but that's all. I Googled and tried 5 different places for an answer - even 'jumped the pond'....but got no answers.
i started a thread, "Spell Checker on the fritz!!", and got one good and reasonable answer...
only it didn't work. It involved a .plist file, and once you toss one and do a re-start, it's supposed to re-build itself. But, no, SpCk still 'on the fritz'. I'm going to do one more re-start, but otherwise....
May the first one on either thread that gets an answer that works - PLEASE let us all know.
Keep your fingers crossed and hold your mouth right - lol. Nikki B.

Can you tell me how to download it in MAC OS

This is a user-to-user forum, and although Adobe staff make occasional appearances here, there is no guarantee that you will get any "officila" Adobe feedback.
If you have difficulties to install the online installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, then download the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then run it after closing all browser windows.
