Spell Checking for Apple Products

Is it possible to spell check/auto complete against more than one language. (email, iMessage, SMS...)
Thanks!

You can change the input language of the Keyboard under Settings->General->Keyboard->Keyboards->Add Keyboard
When more than one keyboard is available a Globe key will appear next to the space-bar to change between available languages. Spell check and auto complete will change to that specific language as well.
So corrections will be given in the currently selected language.

Spell check for microsoft word and excel not working?

Hi all,
I seem to have a problem of spell check for micrsoft word / excel not working. It all stemed with me deleting microsoft office from my computer, after thinking it was playing havoc on my system, (making it slower and sending a strange attachment with some emails) but after one week I relaised i needed it, i tried loading it again, but now the spell check doesnt seem to work?
also if any one can tell me, regarding my strange attachment. i was told today that "ATT00034" is sent because it contains font information that is not supported to the people i send it to? im not sure?
thanks to all

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

Spell check for Turkish

I try to use pages for my reports or notes.
Pages does not perform spell check in Turkish, same as the mail, I can't think of anybody in todays life and does not use mail. When will Turkish users have language support in our own language? I don't mean sceens, they are in Turkish but when I write someting in Mail, its all red underlined.
Thanks to those interested.

You can add spell check for other languages:

Spell check for any application

Having only just my iphone I can't believe there is no spell check for the mail functionality. Aside from that why is spell check unavailable for yahoo and gmail through the web browser? Any ideas please...

Move the associated plist files for those applications out of /Library/Preferences/ within your home folder to the Desktop. E.g., com.apple.textedit.plist for TextEdit, quit and relaunch TextEdit, and re-enable spell as you type. If that fixes things, delete the moved file, and do the same with any other apps where it appears to be broken.

Is macware a trusted software company for apple products?

Is MacWare a trusted company for Apple Products, or do I even need a clean up software for my MacBook Pro with Mavericks?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Don't install such modifications unless they're absolutely necessary. Remove them when they are no longer needed. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all system modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of difficulties with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac," "TuneUpMyMac," and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
As a rule, you should avoid software that changes the way other software works. Plugins for Photoshop and similar programs are an obvious exception to this rule. Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Only install software that is useful to you, not (as you imagine) to the computer. For example, a word processor is useful for writing. A video editor is useful for making movies. A game is useful for fun. But a "cache cleaner" isn't useful for anything. Cleaning caches is not an end in itself.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform.
A well-designed computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

How can I enable spell checking for a text box that is just one line, e.g. subject in e-mail?

In a prior version of Firefox I found a website somewhere that told me what to do to enable spell checking for text boxes that are just one line. I got used to being able to send an e-mail with a Subject Line that didn't have a misspelling. Now it doesn't work. Please tell me how I can enable that again. I am on a Mac using Firefox 6.0.2. Thanks!

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Spell_checking
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault
You can set the pref layout.spellcheckDefault to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-David Bartholomew

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

How do I obtain spell check for Photoshop Elements 12

I use spell check with my Photoshop CS but I don't see a spell check for my Elements 12. Is there a plug in I can get for a spell check?

In photoshop cs2 record the spell check action:
1. Create a new document and type a word you know is misspelled
2. Go to Window>Actions
3. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Set button
4. At the bottom of the actions palette press the Create New Action button
5. Press Record, go to Edit>Check Spelling, press Done on the spell check dialog and click on the Stop Recording button at the bottom of the actions palette
6. Save your action set to somewhere like your desktop using the Save Actions from the actions palette fly-out menu.
In the photoshop elements 12 editor in the Expert mode
1. Go to window>Actions and load the spell check action from the fly-out menu on the actions panel
2. Click on the name of the action (not the name of the action set) and press Play to play the action.
The check spelling action should work in pse 12 just as check spelling does in photoshop cs2

Spell checker for KWrite doesn't work [SOLVED]

How do I enable spell checking for the KDE editors, i.e. KWrite, Kate, etc? I've installed aspell via pacman, it's in /usr/bin which is in my PATH. In KWrite's Settings>Configure Editor>Plugins, there is an option "KTextEditor KDataTool Plugin: Enable data tools like thesaurus and spell check (if installed)" which I've checked. In another distro, that's how I enabled spell checking with aspell, i.e. by checking this box for the spell check plugin. But in Arch this doesn't seem to be sufficient. When I try to spell check a document in KWrite, I get this error:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH."
What else do I need to do?
Robert
EDIT: Sorry, searching this forum for "spellcheck" hadn't yielded any solution but after I posted this I also searched for "spell AND check" and found the solution: I had neglected to pick Aspell as the client for spell checking in Control Center>KDE Components>Spell Checker.

Spell check for kids using flash

I am creating a spell check for kids using flash.
The flash starts with a silhouettes of a word say B A N A N A and below it shows a jumbled up letters. The kids drags and drops each letter on top of the dark silhouettes. If it matches scores points.
Any help in creating AS3 script will be apreciated. I did create one using mc and target mc and works fine when the mc is draged on to target mc. Only problem arises when there are duplicate letters.
Thanks in advance

What I described will work as you describe wanting. If every A movieclip has a property (name this property anything you want, like "myLetterValue") with a value of "A" and every A-target movieclip also has a property with a value of "A", then you can use those properties to determine when any object with an "A" is planted on any target with an "A"
So when you drop a letter on a target you compare the property of each to see if they are equal... if(targetMC.myLetterValue == letterMC.myLetterValue){ // correct match }
