Since updating to 10.4.8 Safari Spell checking grayed out

Now I can not turn on Spell Checking in Safari because it is grayed out. What happened?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I found that for the spelling options to be available you must have the cursor in a text box. Then, I pressed command : to turn on spell checking. However, I had check spelling as you type checked and it unchecked it when I changed web pages. I had to reselect it.

Why is the spell checking grayed out in LR5.6?

I am using LR5.6, under the Edit menu on my Mac there is a spelling and grammar option but it is greyed out in LR? How can I spell check my Book?

Seems to be an oversight, since you can invoke spelling on most other text fields in LR (e.g. in metadata entry). You can file a bug report at the official Adobe feedback forum: Recently active topics in Photoshop Family about Photoshop Lightroom.

Spell check grayed out

For some reason spell check is grayed out in my Dreamweaver CS5. I've tried it in both design and source code view; same problem. Anyone have a suggestion?

Reboot. Could be a glitch caused by low memory.
If that doesn't help, this solution is from the DW FAQ.
"...unexplained problems
If Dreamweaver is acting erratically, or if you see a message saying "the following JavaScript error(s) occurred", it's usually a sign of a corrupt cache file. The first thing to try should always be to delete the file cache. If that doesn't work, delete your personal Configuration folder. Full instructions are in Deleting a corrupted cache file."

IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, many apps require iOS 6.0 or later. also since updating to 5.1.1 safari frequently crashes.

My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes. Help!!!!!!

5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?

Hello.
Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
Any ideas ?
Using ethernet but wireless acts same,
Cliff

I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How to bring it back to life?

My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How can I restore it back to life?

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep button and home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears (takes about 10 seconds) - ignore the red slider.

Safari page is grayed out

New iPad, worked flawlessly from the start. Now Safari page is grayed out, cannot move the displayed page, can enter web address in address bar but cannot select anyting on the page. Ideas? I have a feeling it's something simple. Thanks!!

Hi,
Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache
Restart your iPad. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe the slider to the right to power off. Then hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see the Apple logo.
Try Safari.
If you still have problems, post in the iPad forum here.
This is the Safari for Mac forum. Takes awhile to learn how to find the new discussions forums with the new format.

Safari on my iPad. I have an original iPad and since updating to the latest iOS safari forces me to restart the iPad about two to three times a day. Three problems: 1. It just blacks out. 2. The reading list does not delete after the story is read. 3. Ema

Since updating to latest iOS safari fails several times a day.
1. Just quits.
2. The items on the reading list will not delete after visited.
3. The screens goes grey when I go to email a reference.
Is the a solution other the restarting the iPad or is this something apple ought to fix?

See if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Broken in new Safari: Spell Checking and Tabs

Since upgrading to the newest Safari (2.0.2 (416.12)) I've found two things to not function as they used to:
1) Spell checking in input boxes (like the one I'm typing in now) doesn't work. Misspelled words are still recognized and underlined in red, but right clicking on them doesn't produce a list of alternative choices like it used to.
2) When you press apple-w, previous versions of safari would bring the next right-most tab into focus after closing the current window. Now Safari jumps to the last tab you were in. I find the other behavior much more intuitive and predictable. Is there any way to get it back or could this be a problem with Saft (a safari plugin)?
Thanks,
Craig

Thank you so much, Craig and Salvatore! I had been a bit annoyed at the tab function change and really missed the spelling correction change, and was beginning to figure out how to explain the spelling correction problem -- finding Craig's posting of the problems and the answers from both of you was so timely.
I'm sure Apple isn't happy about a 3rd party add-on "breaking" their product, but I so appreciate the "benefits" of this 3rd-party add-on!

HT201209 Since updating ios7 I can't do FaceTime can anyone out there give me some guidance pleeeeaaaase

Can anyone help me since updating with the latest iOS for my iPad I can't do FaceTime and also when I go to camera I can't do video recording anymore been to settings to see if ther have been any obvious changes can't find anything that would cause this any help greatly appreciated

You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

Safari spell checker

Hi all, could someone help me with something that's probably staring me straight in the face anyway?
I want to change the spell checking in Safari from English US to English UK, and for the life of me can't remember how to do it.
ta very muchley!

Hi Sinisterish!
That is a system-wide setting.
Go to System Preferences/International/Language
Drag 'British English' to the top of the list.
Job done!

Safari Spell Check Language??

The spell check in my Safari keeps changing words to their British spelling (ie recognize = recognise etc). How does one change the spell check to American English? I like having spell check/autocorrect in Safari, but not when it miscorrects my spelling...

Safari spell check - only through widgets?

Is there a way to embed spellcheck so that it will work within forum posting? There should be if there isn't - this is how Firefox spellcheck works. To illustrate - as I am typing, if I make a typo, Firefox spellcheck lets me know by underlining in red. On Safari, it lets me make typos. The only way to check spelling is through widgets? I think this is a big mistake by Apple.
Anyone?

Do you know why the option is "grayed out" in the menu?
Is yours still grayed out when your cursor is actually in a text box where you can type? Mine isn't.

Spell check greyed out

Contribute CS4 spell check is sometimes greyed out. Why is that and how can I prevent it from happening?
Thank you.

make sure you are doing it while in a mail composition window, not in message viewer. the spellchecking option is grayed out in message viewer because you can not edit received messages.
