Turning off spell checking in one document

Any way to stop spell checking one document only? It seems like it's either on or off for all documents, and I can't have it off for select documents.

Hi,
In iCal, Control-Click some text in an event note you are editing. From the contextual menu select Spelling and Grammar and de-select all items in the submenu.
Best wishes

Turn off spell check in specific documents?

Hi,
Is there a way to turn off spell check permanently for a single document? I want it to be turned on always for all other documents, but not this one in particular. Thanks!

Tyler,
Language is a Text Style property and can be set to "None" in the Text Inspector, More pane. If you select all the text in this particular document, and set the Language to None, it appears that your spelling will not be checked. You may want to define a style with this property if you need to apply it to imported text.

Turn off Spell Checking permanently

I would like to turn off spell checking permanently. The red underlines disturbs me extremely much.
In Mail my setting for this seems to be accepted, but for other applications (eg Stickies and Text Editor), it turns back to default as soon as I restart the app. This is very annoying, and also very unlogical.
Is there a solution?

Wise-***.
As you probably know there are a lot of words that no dictionary understand. Especially if you mix swedish and english in the same documents, and also mix a lot of programming language.
Eg, some words that are underlined in my Stickies now:
Textwrangler, annoying, default, Omnifocus, Omnifocus-inställningar (which means Omnifocus-preferences), hibernatemode, Flash, and so on...
All my life I've never had any problems with spelling and I don't think I need the computer to tell me when I'm wrong, when I know I'm not (I'm not that good with english grammar though, as you may notice).
Bottom line: If I want to turn off a preference on my computer, I want it to be turned off.
There is a solution from 2008, I was hoping that Apple had fixed this...

I have been trying to send text messages on the iPhone in my native language and it kept replacing all the words with english words. I have tried to turn off the spell checking, but no luck. I have asked the Apple Store employees, no luck there either. How can I type my messages in languages other than english? I don't need a spell checker in my language, I just want an option to turn off the english one.

Input is essentially English only for this version of the iPhone.

How to turn off spell checking

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how I can turn off spellchecking in MAC OS X Tiger. Occasionally I write emails in German using my English MAC OS X and am bothered by red underlining. How can turn off this feature?
Thank you very much

Control-click in the text view where you're typing and choose Spelling > Spelling.... In the panel that appears, you can change the Dictionary from English to German if you like, or perhaps "Multilingual". That way both English and German dictionaries will be checked to see if the spelling is correct.
Hope this helps....

Turning off spelling check

Is it possible to completely turn off the spelling check feature of Mac OS X, globally for all applications? This is because I often type in various languages, and because I just don't like those red lines appearing all the time. Each time I enter a new application, I have to turn it off!
Since this is a feature of Mac OS X, all those apps are using, is isn't it possible to just turn it off allover?

Just wanted to say I second Dedekind's primary
request: a global option to switch off spell check
for all apps would be great. For now, some
applications do have this option, but some don't and
it is a problem for any user that often writes in
more than one language (that is, most of the world,
because non-americans often have English words mixed
up with local languages)
Me too, (or me three or whatever). In some applications--my current example being OmniOutliner Pro--you seem to have to turn off the spellcheck every time you open a new document. I have solved the problem in OO, I think, by adding it into the global template, but it keeps popping up in other applications that don't have their own separate spellcheck. Surely there's a way to do this???

How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

Help I want to turn on spell check!

I have the new bold and I can't find where to turn on spell check !

From the User's Manual
Change options for checking spelling
You can change the type and length of words that the spelling checker includes when checking spelling.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options ICON.
2. Click Spell Check.
3. Change one or more options.
4. Press the Menu key.
5. Click Save.
BTW, the Options Icon looks like a wrench.
Other than this I don't know what to tell you. Maybe take your unit back to the store and see if they can help. Good Luck.

Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?

I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.

Hi,
Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this computer.

How do I turn off photo stream on one computer without deleting the photos out of the rest of the devices?

Go to control panel, search for 'iCloud", double-click iCloud to open the iCloud control panel for Windows, then uncheck photo stream. If you want to keep any photo stream photos on your PC, be sure to copy them to a separate folder (outside of the photo stream folder) before unchecking photo stream.

How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?

How can I turn off iCloud without losing my documents?
When I try to sign out Icloud I get the warning (( If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in Icloud will be removed from this Mac))
I don,t want to remove my document on my computer, what should I do?

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.
