Spelling & Grammar: can't delete misspelled word - 'ignore' is greyed out

I have accidentally added a misspelled word in Mail, so now it won't show up as a typo.
Help suggests to open 'Show Spelling and Grammar', type in misspelled word, then click 'ignore', but 'ignore' is greyed out.
Is there any way I can get rid of it?
Thanks

Just out of curiosity, is this an iphone question?

  • I can't delete songs on my the greyed out music on my iPhone

    I can't delete songs on my the greyed out music on my iPhone. I've tried deleting it all by going on settings > general > usage > music and deleting it there but it just stays there despite saying 'music: no data'. I've tried unticking the songs when i plug my phone into itunes but it just comes up with a grey exclamation mark and i've also tryed just syncing my muisc and that doesn't work either
    I don't want to restore my phone though because i don't want to lose my texts or notes, helppppp

    I wouldn't - uncheck Sync in Music tab of iTunes then re-sync and see if your music disappears from your phone.  

  • I can delete my Internet history but I can't delete my words searched in different web sites. Would you like to help me?

    Hi Niel,
    There may be a problem with the definition of the rule to delete the characteristic. If you go to transaction RSMRT
    and use the 'check' option to check the rule you created are there any errors for the check?
    If not when you get the error message that you mention is there any additional error messages created in sm21
    or dumps in ST22?
    If not there may be a problem with the consistency of the cube if you goto RSRV>All Elementary tests>Transaction data
    and run these tests for the cubes are there any error messages? If yes please try to use the repair function in RSRV
    to correct any errors.
    If none of the above helps you should delete the run you created, make a dummy change to the cube (e.g add a '.'
    to the description of the cube, save the change and then activate the cube, please then try and create the
    remodelling rule again.
    Best Regards,
    Des.

  • Edit OSX Spelling dictionary - can't delete words

    How do I delete an word from the OSX spelling dictionary? Some words in my dictionary do not conform to the latest “Gaelic Orthographic Conventions - 2005” (See www.sqa.org.uk). I can add correct version words, but I want to get rid of the old version.
    I have read the Mac Help article "Using advanced spell-checking options": which says “If you accidentally add a mis-spelled word to the dictionary, type the mis-spelling in the Spelling dialogue, and click Forget”
    Unfortunately this does not help. The old word is not removed. Is there a file I can edit in some other way?

    Sam makes a good point.  If there is something you don't like about the Apple dictionary, you can use others, either from the internal supply or by downloading from this site:

    and

  • I can't delete a word document by dragging into trash ca.

    I cannot delete a word document by dragging the document into the trash can. No error message pops up.

    Open a terminal window, the type the following 'sudo rm -rf ' and then drop the offending file onto the terminal window. This will place the correct full path to the file into the terminal command. Hit return, type your admin password and the file should delete.

  • When I try to delete my recent browsing history (mostly to delete the cache) the delete recent history button is greyed out so I can't click on it. How can I clear my cache?

    Under the history link there is a button "clear recent history" but it is greyed out so I can't click on it. I want to clear my cache because I hate autofill. I've already changed my settings so it won't remember anymore things, but how can I clear what's already there?

  • How can i organize my photo albumbs(not greyed out)

    So i was trying to organize some photos of mine from the computer and the internet.
    I created folders in my pc and made my ipad synced with them as albums(folder names=albums).
    Then i downloaded an image from the internet in my ipad and i wanted to move it to the correct album instead of cameral roll.
    To my surprise i couldnt move it to the albumbs i send through my pc because they were greyed out, so i made a new folder with the same name as that folder i had in my pc and transferred the image there along with all the other images from the pc album.
    So now in order to avoid having 2 albums for the same thing i removed the that folder from my pc and synced with ipad. I also deleted the downloaded image from camera roll because i didnt need it to be there and only wanted it to be in my new album.
    Then to my surprise after syncing and deleting that image all the photos in the new album have dissapeared which means the image was never transfered, it was just linked there and if the original is gone then it is removed.
    My question is.
    Is there any way to organize my photos in albums, albums that you can move images to from camera roll and arent greyd out when you are trying to add an image to them. And also to move images in those albums without having to keep a copy of them in camera roll??
    Having to update your pc folders everytime you download something from ipad is a pain.

    Albums that you sync from your computer can't be deleted or amended directly on your iPad - you can only add photos to them, or remove photos, by adding/removing them on the folder on your computer and resyncing.
    And when you create an album in the Photos app on your iPad and 'copy' a photo into it you are only creating a pointer to the photo, you're not creating a separate copy of the photo - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore remove it from any albums that you've 'copied' it into.
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you could use instead - you can copy photos to that app from your computer, and to/from the Photos app, and you can delete photos (including those copied from a computer) directly in it. So you could use an app such as that for your albums.

  • IPhone from UK can't be replaced in India :( wifi greyed out

    My friend gifted me a iPhone 4s last year from UK, after using it from a year the wifi suddenly greyed out/ ocassionally gets connected to wifi but most of the time its out, Now i am in India and have no plans to visit UK, is there anything that i can do as store here says that it would not be replaced in India and i have to visit UK for repair or replacement. Please help

    Apple is "answerable", but as has been said, Apple will provide no service, paid or warranty, for an iPhone outside of its country of sale. With just about every country requiring a different model/configuration of iPhone, Apple has apparently decided that it is not feasible for every service center to be able to provide every model, hence the restrictions. Most smartphone manufacturers have the same policy.
    This is Apple's policy and there's nothing further any of us, your fellow users, can tell you.
    Regards.

  • Can't Re-Download??? Greyed Out Cloud?

    I was trying to upgrade the quality of an album by...
    1. Delete album off local machine (but not the cloud)
    2. Re-download the album (preseumbly in the higher quality).
    The problem is that although I still see the album in iTunes (and I see a small cloud) it won't download. No error, just a greyed out cloud.
    Any idea what I am missing? Machine is authorized.

    That might of been it. Looks like it must of kicked back on.
    Funny, never had that problem with my Hard Drive.

  • Spelling - how can I eliminate a word I accepted

    The spelling checker is very helpful in all the applications.
    But how do I eliminate a word I hastily agreed to learn even though it was misspelled?
    Is there a list of these words somewhere so I can eliminate one or two words?

    Hi Judy,
    The Mac OS custom dictionary is stored in user/Library/Spelling. There's a file for each language you have used (en is the English one). These are used in most of the apps that have the option to check spelling as you type (Safari, Mail, etc.). Note that MS Office apps use their own set of custom dictionaries, and you can edit those pretty easily - easier that the Mac OS dictionary at any rate.
    It's a text file, so you can open it with TextEdit (via Open With...Other), but if you do it will appear that all the words are run together, because they are written to the file with an invisible separator.
    So, you need a different text editor.
    Download iText. Here's the download link (which I'm posting because it took me a while to find it on the developer's page):
    http://homepage.mac.com/lightway/itext316e_macx.dmg.zip
    Launch the app, and select Edit menu > Preferences and check the box to Show Invisibles. Then, select File > Open, change the Enable pop-up menu to All Documents, and open the "en" file in user/Library/Spelling. You can directly edit that list (just be sure to leave one separator between each entry) and save the file.
    Hope this helps...

  • When I check spelling, after correcting the first misspelled word the rest of the missspelled words in the message are no longer marked as misspelled..

    If, say, five words originally show as misspelled, after I correct the first one the other 4 no longer show as misspelled.

    Hello.  I too have a Mail spelling issue since Mavericks.  My mail has never made any automatic corrections - only suggestions - and I am not sure how to get that going.  Anyhow, these days when the speller doesn't recognise a word and I go in and add an accent to that word (alt+e+e), it infuriatingly sends the message immediately without continuing the spellceheck.  Any ideas gratefully received.

  • Can I delete my icloud back ups with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5

    Hey guys.  I was wondering if I can delete my iCloud backup  with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5?  I can not up date my phone because it says I do not have enough storage available.  Yes, I have purchased more storage space on iCloud. 
    Thank you!

    Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
    iCloud uses its storage only for
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).

  • How can you delete an app if it turned out it was the wrong one ?

    Hi,
    I bought an app and it is useless. Is there any way that I can get rid of it and get my money back?

    You may not be able to get your money back... But to Delete an App...
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle.
    You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner.
    Tap it to delete an app.
    When done press the Home button.

  • How can I delet iCloud's I'd with out pasward. Because I have parched 2nd mobile .i don't know how was that person which already used and added iCloud id

    How can delete iCloud's I'd without pasward

    By the Way, if your device's Find iPhone is turned off, then you can delete that ID because all the security measures are based on the Find iPhone.
    But you still need to contact with that owner
