IChat 'spell checker' doesn't work.

Hello,
Recently upgraded to Tiger .. and the spell checker doesn't work when selected as 'Check spelling as you type'. It works manual -when I click on 'Check Spelling' ... but not whle I type.
The spell checker works fine in Mail and Pages,etc. Just not iChat.
I did reinstall iChat and didn't solve problem.
Any thoughts?

Just to add more info - when selected as 'Check spelling as you type' ... when I type a misspelled word, it will underline the word in red. BUT - when I right-click the word - NO word suggestions are in the popup menu.
If I click 'Check Spelling' ... and then right-click the word ... it works perfectly ... with word suggestions in the popup menu AND other options (ignore spelling, learn spelling ... etc)
Thanks.

After downloading Firefox, my e-mail spell check doesn't work

for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/

Universal Spell Checker doesn't work.

For some reason my universal spell checker wont work. I am using TextEdit, where it worked fine until recently. Is anyone else having this problem? And yes, I checked ON the appropriate function in the menu. I am on a MacBook Pro with the latest OS (10.5.4).

After reading your post I tried TextEdit and spell check wasn't working for me either, I opened preferences and check spelling was selected, I then selected Check grammar with spelling as well, and it worked, I then de-selected Check grammar and Spell check worked normally.

Eudora Spell Check Doesn't Work in SL 10.6.1

Eudora's spell checking function stopped working after installing SL 10.6.1. It worked OK in 10.6. All the Eudora files seem to be in place. The spell check works when using a backup copy of Eudora that was made before converting from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6; but it does not work after moving that copy of Eudora to the HD with 10.6.1. Any ideas to get spell check working again? Am I seeing the beginning of the end of Eudora?
Thanks! -- GKernTucson

You can find ispell-de in the AUR.
Edit: There's an option to choose the language at the bottom of the spellchecking-dialog in Kile [Tools->Spelling->Language]
Ah, ok, I'll ask my yoghurt. ;-)
Just because I'm curious: Is it correct that aspell is ispell's successor? So if there ever will be a KDE 4 version of Kile it will probably use aspell, right? Just trying to see the connections here...
I mean after all there's a reason behind the fact that ispell-de isn't part of the repository whereas aspell-de is.

Spell checking doesn't work at all

I can't get any of the spelling related features to work for Pages 2. It won't spell-check the document, nor will it underline words with Check Spelling As you Type.
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Which is your login language? That should be what decides what spelling dictionary is used. If you login language doesn't have any spelling dictionary, the default language is probably "none".
Check in the Inspector > Text > More. If the Language is set to "None" that is your problem. The solution is to select a language of course.

After iOS8, spell check doesn't work for last word in sentence

Hello,
After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8, i've noticed that the spell checker and the keybord shortcuts arent working for the last word in sentence.
For instance, I used to have a shortcut, so whenever I texted LOL and hit the send button, it would send "HAHAHAHA" into the message.
Now, if i just type LOL and hit send, it will send LOL iinto conversation.
Has anyone managed to fix it out?
Thanks.

Confirm this is selected:
In the new Write window
Options > Spell check as you type
''re Yes, I have dictionaries installed.''
This implies you have more than one dictionary.
Can you check to see if any addon /extension is causing a conflict.
There is no point starting up in safe mode as this will disable the dictionaries. So instead:
Tools > Add-ons
The 'Add-ons Manager will open in a new tab
select 'Extensions'
Disable all add-on extensions except for one dictionary.
Check to see if that dictionary is an up to date version.
then select 'Dictionaries'
This is where the default dictionary is located.
In my case it is 'United States English Spellchecker'
make sure this is disabled.
The idea being to ensure that only one dictionary is enabled and that it is up to date. Then check to see if the spell check works.
If you have other dictionaries, go through the process of enabling one dictionary, checking it is up to date and then testing the spell check.
Please confirm which dictionaries you have installed.
for example, I have British English Dictionary 1.19.1 and it is located under Tools > Addons > 'Extensions' and it is enabled.
I also have under:
Tools > Addons > 'Dictionaries'
'United States English Spellchecker' 7.0.1 but this is disabled.
Tell us what you have and report back on the testing.

Spell check doesn't work on shared documents

We have four computers (Mac) running CS6 (multiple licenses) and sharing documents via a server. Beginning with CS3, we were not able to spell check a document multiple times. Now, with CS6, three computers cannot spell check ANY shared documents. One computer (the one that created the original document) can spell check anything multiple times. When the other computers try to spell check something the dialogue box opens and you hit "start" but nothing happens, as though there are no spelling errors (which there certainly are). All other computers are able to spell check documents originally created on that computer. Copying documents from the server to the computer's hard drive still does not allow them to be spell checked.
Thoughts?

Is this a statement or do you want some help? If you want help you have to tell us what you see and why you say it doens't work. No one but you sees your screen!

Pages IWORK'08 spell check doesn't work--here's the fix

Pages stopped spell checking. Some suggested deleting com.apple.iwork.pages.plist off the HD in case Pages was corrupted so it could rebuild the spell check feature but that was not necessary in my case. Here is the painless fix.
-Open a pages document
-Go to Edit and SELECT ALL
-Then go to INSPECTOR text (blue T) MORE and be sure language is set to English, then close out of Inspector
-Go to EDIT, SPELLING and set “check spelling as you type” or "Check spelling"
Just remember that PAGES needs to know what you want to do so you have to SELECT ALL for it to check everything on the document.

That is not sufficient if you have not also corrected your Text Styles to the appropriate language.
Text is styled with a language, usually the default, just as it is with a font or color.
Unless you update all your styles and use them, every time you reintroduce new text or use those like Free Form you will have text with either the wrong language or no language.

InDesign CC - spell check doesn't work

In InDesign CC when I launch spell check it appears at the top of my screen overlapping the menu bar. If I keep hitting command-I it will find and highlight suspect words, but does not give me any option to change them. Also, the spell check menu will remain at the top of the screen until I quit out of the program. Any suggestions how I can fix this? Thanks!

Spell Check in Story CS6 doesn't works

Hi,
I became a member of the creative cloud in December. I have started to use Adobe Story CS6 and the spell check doesn't work. Even if I type in gibberish, nothing gets underlined. I am using a computer with German Windows 7 64-bit but I am writing in English. I have installed the English versions of the software and I signed in to Story as "English".
Any suggestions?
Regards,
pdm208

That's not really "spellchecking". That's more of an in-document "spell-check feature". As opposed to a document-wide "spell-check function"
Unfortunately, Adobe has failed to impliment a document wide spell check function in a document creation application (embarrasing). It's now 2014. I hope we don't have to wait more "years" for someone to get their act together on this.
While importing scripts, documents and etc. from other software, there are always translation and importing issues. It's very unreasonable to make a user painstakingly go through an entire document to replace a "DOT" with an " ' "... and no! find and replace does seem to pick up on the DOT.
If Adobe wants to make people pay a monthly service for their software with the ability to "push" updates at will... then they should at least update the word proccessng software with a functional spell check.
I love the suite and have used it for years but, it really gives an "air of incompitence" when the most basic of features (the libraries have already been written 100x's over) are lacking in a word processing application.

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.

How can you turn off the spell checker in Firefox? (The menu option doesn't work.)

There was a solution to this I came across a long time ago, but I don't remember what it was. I want to turn off my spell checker in Firefox. The usual instructions given for doing this are to go into Options->Advanced and de-select "Check my spelling as I type". This doesn't work. Period. And this is a bug that has been around for a long time in Firefox.
What's a way to disable this? I don't like seeing a bunch of red lines under correctly spelled words that just happen to not be in Firefox's default dictionary, and I don't want to have to add things to my dictionary either.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Spell Checker doesn't seem to work in 4.0

When you enter information into a box like this one, the spell checker doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if it was missing, not being put in, or if I need to add it somehow. If its not their, please put it back in again. I myself really need it.

did you get my earlier message? Here's what I wrote;
I also meant to add the way the instructor for the course showed how to
write the code
for example; home_btn.addEventListener(Mouse...................) as so
on You mention no period after the btn unless a width or something how
could I change the code to be proper.
and also one for {
content_pg.gotoAndStop(2);
same period example. should there be a space and no period after home_btn?
thanks again for your assistance.

Help, My iPad Doesn't Work On iOs7

I have neever been so unhappy with an upgrade as I am with iOs7. What a mess they made of everything. Why dod theyt have to re-invent the wheel? My Youtube doesn't work and surfing the internet went to a crawl. Can someone give me some advice on how to get the old software back?

Hi David
To be honest I am not sure what I updated from in my OS X All I do is agree to install when the automatic update says there is an update available for my Mac. I'm curious when we pay thousands of dollars to Apple for the best computer why we have to keep shelling out the clams to keep it running. What does the new update do that we have to pay for? I appreciate you telling me about it and I guess I need to know whaat it does. I'll try and find some reading on it.
FIREFOX - I'm trying to decide what to run for a browser now. The reason I switched to Firefox is because it was said to be faster than Safari. I noticed also that when I view Youtube videos with Safari, we are bombarded with friggin commercials to no end.
CHROME - I have been contemplating discarding my Google account because it seems Google wants to force us to go through them to access all my other accounts, and now they are getting to the point that when I try to open an account like Netflix or Facebook or other accounts, they try to force me to sign in with my Google account and they don't give me any other options. I am very upset as are many others with this communist turn Google has done. I don't want to change my email, but I may have no choice. I went into my Google account settings and chose to disconnect my other accounts from Google, but they still Hi-Jack my other accounts even when I choose not to connect them.
Now this morning I noticed my Spell Check isn't working. I have it set to check spelling automatically in Language and Text.
I have been trying to figure out how to check my version of Adobe Flash. Where can I find it to check it? It's not in my Applications folder like it's supposed to be. You're a little over my head with installing a control panel to install updates. I'll try going to Adobe.com/flashplayer andd try to update.
I have power cycled my modem several times with no change. I am using Centurylink for my internet which is the worst I have ever seen for reliability. There aren't a lot of choices where I live. Every time I have trouble ith them and make the dreaded phone call to 611, they say there are no problems and want me to go through a barage of their stupid tests that never work because the problem is on their end. I think they over sell the service and at peak usage times the bandwidth is sucked dry.
