Pages autocorrecting spelling even after preferences changed

I'm using Pages 5.0 (1465) on Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.
I'm writing a document with a lot of technical jargon Pages does not recognize and keeps trying to auto-correct. I have disabled spelling auto-correction in the Text pane of the Keyboard panel of the System Preferences. Never the less, Pages continues to frustrate me with unwanted auto-corrections.
I have quit and relaunched Pages. I have rebooted my computer. The settings in the System Preferences panel are still there, reflecting my choices. Still, Pages continues to auto-correct my text.
I can find no setting within Pages to change this behaviour. Am I missing something?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Uncheck "Correct spelling automatically". You do thatin the "Show Spelling and Grammar window"

  • Why do I continue to receive notifications, even after I change my preferences?

    why do I continue to receive notifications, even after I change my preferences? I had about 100 or so today. I switched all of my notification anwers to NO, as in , I don't want to receive any email from apple communities whatsoever. ??? Thanks.

    You need to double check that you aren't subscribed to the community, not just to the question you asked.  Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question.  Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community.  Probably the community  where you asked your question.  Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it. 
    Hope that works for you.

  • Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

    cor-el,
    Yes, I will....the next time it happens. In the past it has happened to AOL a number of times (which is usually my home page), as well as some Yuku message boards I visit...The History Channel A&E, Spike TV, all at various times.
    Unfortunately, this morning when it happened to one of the Yuku message board, I went directly to the tool bar, cleared my cache and cookies, without capturing a screenshot. Now , everything I've bookmarked is working properly but I will tell you it's a problem that I only experience on Firefox and not any other browsers, even when I've imported bookmarks from Firefox. It's been a fairly consistent problem for the past 6 months or so where I manually uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox (my preferred browser) and again, manually started bookmarking my sites all over again. It seems that when it happens most of the icons, graphics and photographs are missing, leaving me with only disorganized text.
    The next time that it occurs, I will take a screen shot and forward it to you.
    Thanks for you interest and help.

  • Why won't my line spacing change even after I change the # in the leading panel

    why won't my line spacing change even after I change the # in the leading pane

    Is this for text you've already typed? Did you select it first? If that's not it, for PSE 11 and 12 go to the far right of the tool options, click the four-lined square and choose Reset Tool. For PSE 10 and earlier go to the far left options bar, click the tiny triangle (or the tool icon for really old versions) and choose Reset Tool.

    When I relaunch firefox 8 the proxy server settings reset back to Manual even after I change to autodetect

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do you update apps that where purchased using different iTunes accounts?  I get a cannot connect to iTunes message and it won't accept the password even after you change it.

    Both my iPad and iPhone have the same problem.  I have purchased apps with three different accounts. I understand I will need to use the original acct to do the update but every time it asks for the password I put it in and get a message that I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have even had the password reset and it still will not connect on the upgrade.  But I can sign in with that account and purchase new apps i am loading a free one now just to make sure. So what is that about?  Please do not tell me I have to also use the original password!  We have reset them so many times that there is no way to remember the original one used at time of purchase a year and 1/2 ago.  Please help. I have also upgraded to the iCloud thinking this would solve the problem but it still exists.

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

  • Foxfire is preventing a page from reloading even after I allow it. How do I stop that?

    I'm enrolled in an online business training program called Power Sellers College. In that site, there is a private messaging system that I may use to correspond with my instructor, other instructors, other students etc. This Private Messaging System refreshes itself automatically every 60 seconds. A bar from Foxfire appears that states "Foxfire prevented this page from automatically reloading" and further down the bar there is an "Allow" button and then an "x" in the top right corner. Even though I push the "Allow" button and the bar disappears, it immediately reappears stating the same thing. I'm not sure if I'm getting my messages or not because I have corresponded with my instructor this way before and I don't recall ever seeing that pop up message from Foxfire before until lately. I only ask this because this is the second time he has missed our scheduled phone appointment. The first time he didn't call me he said he had sent messaged to all his students cancelling all his appointments but I did not get one and I figured he had just missed me. Now this is the second time I've received no message from him or any other message from him or any other instructors and I'm wondering if it's because of Foxfire preventing anything from getting through. My question is : How do I stop Foxfire from preventing that page of refreshing itself even after I allow to do so?

    Did you disable that setting in Tools or Firefox > Options?
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    That setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Cursor/page looks "busy" even after retrieving all data?

    Hello,
    I created a page with several report regions, each of which runs a query against a single remote database. The performance of retrieving the info seems fine, except I am noticing some behavior that I don't know if it's normal or not.
    After the data is returned for all the report regions, the browser's status bar and progress meter continue to indicate "transferring data from server", and the cursor is the pointer/hourglass (busy but still responsive) for about 10 seconds. The page is still responsive, but it seems like there is data being transferred (also confirmed by the network connection icon), but I have no idea what.
    Any idea as to why this is happening? Is it normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Normally this kind of error comes up when the relevant MUPs are missing in the system. Please check for the same and update the application with the required MUPs.

    Hi Roger,
    Does gMail's WebMail work with the same login & password?
    Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
    1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser

  • Yosemite: preview opens all pdf's in same window even after setting change

    After upgrading to Yosemite, Preview always opens new pdf's in prior window with sidebar including other documents. I have changed the setting "when opening new files" to "open each file in its own window" and restarted the program and the computer more than once since. No fix.
    This is extremely irritating and creates an extra step of me having to double click the new document  each time it is opened in order for it to open in its own window as the settings already dictate.
    This affects my workflow and is a real nuisance, thanks in advance for any guidance.

    It's controlled by a global setting in System Preferences -> General "Restore windows when quiting and re-opening apps.  Uncheck it.

  • In iTunes, why does music which has been ripped from a best-of CD continue to show the year of the CD release even after I change the year to the year of the song release in playlists?

    I often rip music from CDs of artists that released songs in the '60s and '70s. When I rip the music, in iTunes it shows the year of the CD release, usually something in the '90s or 2000s. I change the year in 'Get Info' to the correct year, and it changes it fine. However, after a while, it will show the old year again, the year of the CD. This is a problem because I like to arrange playlists based on song years, and this messes with that.
    Tell me: is there a way to permanently fix the reverting year problem? Also, when I spot a song that this has happened to, when I click on 'Get Info', the correct ear is still in there, and when I hit 'OK' it changes back. This is really frustrating...

    In some cases the original iTunes Store metadata seems to be given preference over personal changes. If you are seeing this then
    Go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data. If not it should reset as you play through content, or you can use my script UpdateTagInfo to force iTunes to read the current data from the tags.

  • A website calles allgameshome is set as my homepage everytime I open Firefox and it happens even after I change my homepage to another in options.

    Once I installed a game and it asked me to change my homepage to AllGamesHome.com and my default search engine to AllGames Home search,and I accepted it but now I can't change it to any other even if I do it under options of tools menu it gets changed back to AllgamesHome when I restart firefox.

    If you have the AllGamesHome toolbar, see how to uninstall it:
