Restoring one system-wide dictionary (issue with spell checking)

Hello all,
For some reason, spell checking is behaving badly: it won't spell check German correctly anymore, even though it is set on “Multilingual”. English is alright, so I suspect my German dictionary got corrupt.
My questions are:
1- Will installing the 10.5.7 update resolve the issue?
2- Where can I find the system-wide dictionaries used for spell-checking by OS X?
3- Where can I download these dictionaries?
I hope a clean install is not required just to get one dictionary/spellcheck file back…
Thanks very much all!

it won't spell check German correctly anymore, even though it is set on “Multilingual”.
How about when you set it to Deutsch?
2- Where can I find the system-wide dictionaries used for spell-checking by OS X?
3- Where can I download these dictionaries?
You can't find them or download them.
I hope a clean install is not required just to get one dictionary/spellcheck file back…
Maybe. You could also install CocoAspell and add a German dictionary from its selection.

  • Issue with spell-check and hyphenated words

    Ok, this one's got me stumped. If I type in confidnce-blder as a word, Pages only sees the second word as mispelled; it ignores the first word.
    Any one seen this and have a solution?

    Ok, it turns out it does not find it during the "check spelling while I type" but it does find it if I force a spell-check.

    It's not Pages which learn the document, it's the spell checker.
    I wish I could help the OP. Pages on his machine isn't working as it should. Ignore option should take of the red line.
    So, my machine is odd too.
    When I click ignore, the spell checker no longer halt on the word but it continue to underline it.
    As the OP didn't gave a sample we don't know what is the exact problem.
    If he want to leave a misspelling in the doc, 'learn' is not a good soluce.
    If he want to add a word to the list of allowed words, 'learn' is the soluce.

    I have no issue creating images from restore disk sets (that shipped with machines) or retail masters of various OS's. This issue seems to be related to the particular drives I am trying to create images from.
    The drives that give me this error are hardwarily OK and the software works great. I can boot from these drives and have no issues with the machines imaged from them after the fact. I just want to Netboot off of these so I don't have to lug a million drives around...
    Any clue?

    i know that was the case in Leopard and Snow Leopard but i just mounted a leopard image to create a new netrestore on my lion server.  i was not able to boot any of my images created on Leopard or SL when running Lion Server.  I assume i need to recreate the images on Lion.  Right now my Lion server is using a leopard image as the source to create a netrestore i can push on the Lion server.

  • System-wide Transparent Proxy With URL Patterns

    Internet censorship -where I live- has almost turned web unusable so  I decided to setup a transparent proxy using Tor for my home network.
    Since Tor is so slow -here- proxying all traffic through Tor would slow my connection to a crawl.  Therefore I need a mechanism to selectively proxy the traffic.
    I know a bit of 'iptables' and it looks to me like the solution to my problem.  However there's a trick.  As most of the websites I need to access through Tor (like Google+, Facebook and such) use several IP addresses for their entry points, it's almost impossible for me to add 'iptables' rules for all of those IP addresses.  I need a mechanism to proxy the traffic based on URL patterns.  For example I need to be able to proxy access to '*.facebook.com' through Tor.
    So the question boils down to:  how can I setup a system-wide transparent proxy using URL patterns?
    Any idea/hint is much appreciated.  TIA,
    Bahman

  • Any one else have this issue with their Mophie?

    I am just wondering if anyone has this issue with their Mophie and can offer any tips.
    I recieved a Mophie from a friend for my iPhone 4. It has a crack on it that if you put a piece tape on it, part of the case can come out. It works, but you have to hold it basically still in order for it to work.
    At this point, it seems like I'm better off giving this Mophie a first class ticket to the trash but I just wanted to see if anyone else out there in the world has had a similar issue and can offer some tips but I'm sure it's beyond repair at this point.

       There is something really very very wrong in the land of Cellular Companies!!!!!!!   Verizon Wireless is not going to recover from this.   August 28th  was my time to be able to upgrade my phone.  I upgraded to a Samsung Notebook II.  Well I have it, its very pretty. BUT I CANNOT USE IT BECAUSE VERIZON WIRELESS IS SAYING  "THEY ARE HAVING A PROBLEM INTERNALLY WITH EVERYONE WHO UPGRADED THEIR PHONES THAT ENTERED INTO THE EDGE PROGRAM.  SOMEHOW THE PHONES CANNOT BE ACTIVATED FOR USE. THEY CAN GIVE ME NO TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE RESOLVED."  I will still in the meantime be billed for the phone as if I was using it. I WAS OFFERED NOTHING FOR THIS POOR PLANNING AND EQUIPMENT/PLANNING FAILURE ON THE PART OF VERIZON. I WAS NOT OFFERED ANY DISCOUNT, PRICE LOWERING, GIFT CARD, SKIP A PAYMENT.  NOTHING!!!!!!!!    I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO THIS COMPANY FOR YEARS AND THIS IS HOW I AM BEING TREATED. 
    I am so disgusted by this.  Is there anyone else out there that is having this problem?   That is probably why I read on somone's blog that they are only letting new customers do the Edge program now.  It is a huge mess. 
    Right now what I want to do is return the phone and opt out of my contract early (it ends in December) with no dings against me.

  • How to troubleshoot issues that Spell Check is not working in Outlook 2013

    When composing a new message in Outlook 2013, we may notice that Spell Checker does not recognize misspelled words. When we enter a completely garbage word in Outlook, it won’t be marked as misspelled with a red wave underline. When encountering such issue,
    we may follow the troubleshooting guide below to correct it.
    1. Make sure you are not typing in the signature area.
    Outlook doesn't perform a spell check in the signature area, so if this is the case, spell check won’t work. To confirm if you are typing in the signature area, right click in the area you are typing, if you see a menu listed all you signatures instead of
    the normal context menu, then you are not typing in the email body.
    If you want spell check work in signature area, use Quick Parts instead of Signature. For more information, see
    Quick Parts.
    2. Check the Set Proofing Language option.
    In Outlook, click New Email to open a new message, click
    REVIEW tab > Language > Set Proofing Language, a dialog titled
    Language will open.
    Please first make sure English (United States) is shown above the double line. If not,
    you must enable the language for it to be available to check spelling.
    Second, make sure “Do not check spelling or grammar” check box is not selected.
    Note: If this method fixes the problem, repeat steps 1 through 3 to reopen to the
    Language dialog box, and then click Set As Default.
    3. Enable Check spelling as you type.
    To enable the option in Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail, click Spelling and Autocorrect button. In the Editor Options dialog, select the check box labelled “Check spelling as you type”.
    4. Make sure that you are not using a standalone version of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook.
    The “Check spelling as you type” feature doesn’t work when using a standalone installation of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook. However, the manual spell check always works. In this scenario, we can set Outlook to
    always check spelling before sending. To do this, go to File > Options > Mail, select the check box before “Always check spelling before sending” in the Compose message section.
    5. A registry key exists overriding the spell checker
    To remove the registry key, please follow these:
    Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you
    back up the registry before you modify it.
    a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command.
    b. In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
    c. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override
    d. Delete or rename the subkey.
    e. Exit Registry Editor. Restart Outlook.
    6. Recreate the NormalEmail.dotm and Normal.dotm template
    If the two templates above are corrupt, this issue may also happen. To fix it, please browse to:
    drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
    Rename the two templates, then restart Outlook to see the result.
    7. Problematic add-in
    Add-ins may cause various issues in Outlook, so if you have tried all the suggestions and still no luck, try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if a problematic add-in is the culprit. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run
    command, then type outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem disappeared in safe mode, then go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.

    Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons.<br />
    If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.<br />
    <br />
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
    You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.<br />

  • Learning a new word with spell check

    When I click on learn the machine beeps at me and won't learn. It is not greyed out. I have checked the dictionary location and both user and main are in the right place. I have got rid of the preferences file and restarted appleworks? Anyone got any ideas? is it possible for the user dictionnary to be full?

    I have got rid of the preferences file
    AppleWorks 6 keeps a set of Preferences and Cache files for each User, not just a single preferences file. See *my post in this thread* for details on deleting the prefs.
    is it possible for the user dictionary to be full?
    The AppleWorks 6 User Dictionary will hold only about 6000 words, so filling it is certainly a possibility. I had thought the Learn button would be greyed when that occurred, though.
    You can get a check on how many words there are in your User Dictionary pretty easily:
    With a document open, go Edit > Writing Tools > Edit User Dictionary.
    In the dialogue, click the disclosure triangle beside Text File, then click Export.
    Choose a location for the file, then click Save.
    Open a new WP file.
    Go File > Insert...
    Locate the User Dictionary Text Export file you just saved (it will be greyed).
    Use the File Format popup menu to change to either Text or All Available.
    Select and Open the file.
    Go Edit > Writing tools > Word Count to get a count of how many entries there are in your User Dictionary.
    Further steps: You might try creating a new User Dictionary.
    Go Edit Z. Writing Tools > Select Dictionaries...
    Click User Dictionary, then New.
    Give the new dictionary a name ('User Dictionary 2' is fine), then Save.
    If the new dictionary is not automatically selected as the Currently Selected Dictionary, Click Choose, and select it.
    Close the dialogue.
    Test the new dictionary's learning ability.
    If all is well, you can fill the new dictionary with the contents of the old one.
    The fastest way to do this is to Import the Text file you exported earlier (for the word count).
    A slower way, but one that will show you any arising problems, is to spell check the AW document you used for the word count. The spell check should question every word on that list, giving you a chance to spot and drop words that you don't expect to use, or that are misspellings that were learned in error.

  • Login Issues with license check

    Hi All,
    We have had some issues with starting the database after a virus attack on our network. We have now sorted this out with the help of an Oracle DBA. We can now start the database as well as the central instance fine.
    But, when our users are trying to login, they are getting the error "Logon not possible (error in license check). I have also tried with the SAP* and DDIC users in 000 client. But no luck.
    O/S:    Windows 2000 Server
    DB:     Oracle 9i
    SAP:   4.7 EE
    Can someone help me plz?
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Regarding the error "Logon not possible (error in license check),
    Few suggestions:
    1. Please copy and paste the output from the following commands:
       -> saplicense -version
       -> saplicense -install trace=2    (this generate dev_slic file)
       -> saplicense -get
       -> saplicense -show
    2. DB connect problem... Sometimes this error can occur when there are
    connection problems to the central instance. During logon system checks
    if a valid license is installed by reading the entries in table MLICHECK.
    SAP* will bypass the MLICHECK check.  So, sometimes this error can occur when there are connection problems to the central instance (message server). This could be a temporary problem. Please try to restart your SAP servers if this helps.
    3. See SAP note 359944, 193800
    4. Copy and paste the output of command "R3trans -dx"
    5. Check the file /etc/services for missing entries, example like
       sapms<SID> 3600/tcp
       sapdp00    3200/tcp
       sapdp99    3299/tcp
       sapgw00    3300/tcp
       sapgw99    3399/tcp
    6.  use the message-server-test tool 'lgtst' as per SAP note
    64015 to see whether you can connect to the server.
    7. can you ping the message server ? check parameter rdisp/mshost, IP
    address on host table ?
    cheers,
    Vincent

  • Ideapad A2107 problem with spell checker

    I got yesterday a brand new Ideapad A2107 and the first thing I went through was a Lenovo firmware update. After the update, everything in the tablet was in Chinese (I'm in the USA). I managed to change the language back to English but something is wrong because the spell checker within Android is still apparently working in Chinese (for example, as I type this, most of the words are underlined with a red line but a few words like "the", or "this" are not underlined). I have many times gone through System Settings-> Language (set to English) and System Setting-> Spelling Correction (checked)->Android Correction (only choice) and the problem persists. My OS is Android 4.0.3.
    This is a quite annoying problem so any solution would be very appreciated.

    There has to be a fix for this somewhere???
