Where is a full list of text substitutions/auto-correct?

I use TextEdit a lot, and I love the Snow Leopard automatic text substitution feature, but I'm struggling to find where I can edit the list of what it corrects.
When I type "teh", I love that it corrects it to "the". That's great.
But I often use the abbreviation "ppl" for "people" when making notes, and under Snow Leopard, TextEdit keeps automatically correcting it to "pp.", which is not what I want.
When I go to System Prefs > Language & Text > Text, I see a short list of substitutions, including "teh", "(c)", and "1/2", but I don't see anything like "ppl" or any of the other words it auto-corrects. Am I missing another list somewhere? Is there a way to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, but the problem with adding your own customized sub is that it always doesn't work. At least in Mail. I tried to substitute a semicolon with an apostrophe. I accidentally hit the semicolon instead of the apostrophe all the time. (Instead of "can't" I type "can;t"). In a new Mail message with the customized sub enabled, hitting the semicolon key locks Mail up with the spinning beach ball. I have to force quit it every time. The canned subs work fine & not sure if another customized sub would work. This was one I was hoping to use. Guess not!

Where does NI hide the full list of bug fixes? and why is it hidden from users?

So I get an enticing email begging me to try the august 2009 release of LabVIEW. Ok. I'm twitching with anticipation. I'd like to know if several specific bugs are fixed in a new release of a specific module, however. Otherwise I'd prefer to install it some other time when I'm not busy writing dlls to compensate for the bugs that I hope are now fixed. I've been clicking in circles on the NI website trying to find complete information regarding changes and as is entirely far too typical of NI, I only have access to an anemic, watered down version of what should be proper documentation.
"LabVIEW Readme—Use this file to learn
important last-minute information about LabVIEW, including installation
and upgrade issues, compatibility issues, a partial list of bugs fixed
in the current version of LabVIEW... bla bla bla"
Where is the full list of bug fixes? I don't care if it isn't spellchecked or if it's sloppy; I just want the information. The readme you provide for the specific module I'm interested in is ridiculously small. I know darned well you must have changed more than what is listed. So what secret vault do I have to burgle to find the full list of bug fixes? Am I just missing an obvious hyperlink?

They are locked-up in the Ivory Tower.
I have been a LabVIEW Champion for about four years and even after signing NDA's I still can't see the full list.
Seruously, the full list includes probably millions of bugs that NI finds internally before you and I ever see it.
The best way to handle your situation is to track the CAR's for your bugs. You can call NI support with the CAR number and they can tell you if the bug was fixed and in which version you will find the fix.
If it has not been fixed you can contact you rlocal NI rep and ask them to look into it for you. They may be able to tell you in which release the fix is scheduled and bump up the priority of the fix if you make a good arguement.
Just trying to help,

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

when I'm looking at my recent text messages on my phone, and I'm on the screen where I see a list of people I have texted. I click on a name to open up the conversation, however it is blank and doesn't show the conversation even though we've been texting back and forth the day before. So my question is how can I see the conversation?

Try the following procedure:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments?

Where can I find a full list of the Logic Pro X Software Instruments (the ones you can play with a MIDI keyboard)? From what I've read so far, there are a number of new software instruments in the LPX additional content (as well as loops, etc, but I'm looking for the software instruments). I cannot seem to find this information in the product pages or documentation, though.
With older versions, I was able to find a list of all of the software instruments that came with the software, and all of the software instruments that came with the Jam Packs. Is that list available from Apple, or does anyone have one from somewhere else?

Hi Guys,
I exported my folders from a clean LPX install, does this give you what you want?
First one is the Patch instruments:

If you 6 menu buttons are pointing to Tracks then select the Track and in the property inpector you can set the Menu Remote Control options. Set Menu to the button on the menu you want to jump to.
You can set this option individually for chapters in a Track also so,

QT - full list of error codes, where?

Anyone know where I can find a full list of QT error codes?
I've only been able to find a page to a list of QT Streaming server codes and that is not what I'm after.

OK, thanks Kirk, good to know.
I've written Apple Developer Technical support who replied that they do not have such a list available. I wonder why as I find it quite odd that a company (especially Apple) will have their software communicate in obscure error codes that you have no chance to decipher unless you go to a third party website.
I know Apple used to have such an error code list on-line so I guess it must be a change in policy for some reason. It just doesn't make sense.
If anyone from Apple reads this, here is a suggestion. Make all your error codes in the error message pop-up windows clickable and let the links lead to a help page (on-line or local) that explains the problem in layman's terms. 2nd best would be to just include the option of looking up the code manually in the help files associated with the software.

Where can I view a full list of games to buy for the iPod Touch?

When I go to the iPod Touch section of this web site and click on "Games and Apps", it only shows 16 games. I assume there are more than 16 games available for the iPod Touch, so where do I go to view a full list of games and buy the ones I want?
Also, do all of the games for the iPhone also work for the iPod Touch?

Hello GAMESHARQ,
so where do I go to view a full list of games and buy the ones I want?
Through the iTunes Store, which can be accessed via iTunes. Just click on the App button at the top of the Store window to access the Apps section. From there, you can choose the Games category to narrow it down.
Also, do all of the games for the iPhone also work for the iPod Touch?
Depends on the game. You will have to check out the Requirements section of each Game or App to determine if its compatible with an iPod Touch and iPhone.

Keyboard Shortcuts: where can I find a full list?

I'm a brand-new PC-to-Mac convert. Loving OS X Leopard, but I'd like to print out a full list of keyboard shortcuts. I can't seem to find it anywhere online or on the system. Can someone direct me to a full list of shortcuts? Apple.com seems to have lists for various applications (iMovie, etc) but not for the operating system itself... Thanks,
Senor_Droolcup

@Bob:
Nice link. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to the overview Bob has pointed to, I'm sure you have already noticed that every menu also displays the shortcuts for its options.

Full list of MS SQL 2000 features that are supported in compatibilty 80 mode but not available in 2008 R2 compatibility 100

Hello Everyone,
Could you possibly suggest where I can find a full list MS SQL 2000 features that are supported in 2008 R2 compatibilty 80 mode but not available in compatibility 100?
Thanks
SSIS question

Hi Tom,
What you are saying makes sense, if the compatibility level is 90 then the old ANSI joins are expected to be rectified.
I wrote a script to check - it's an easy exercise, all you need is to loop through the catalog views and for each SP or scalar function run this command:
set fmtonly on exec <object> set fmtonly on and in the catch block handle the error related to compatibility.
For checkign the views similar thing set noexec on <select top 1 * from view> set noexec off.
This works very fast as none of the code is actually executed.
Caveat thought triggers and table functions. I could not find the way how to check them. so will have to extract the DDLs and just check the text for old ansi joins. Not very reliable, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
Any chance you know how to compile a trigger or table function without running.
For table functions when I tried set noexec on they still asked for parameters, something I was trying to avoid.
Thanks

Text substitution does not work

I cannot make the text substitution feature to work. Specifically, the only substitution that is being done, is the one for "On my way!" which was there by default. Anything else I add is simply ignored. This happens in all applications (TextEdit, Mail, etc). Yes, I have made sure that all the right boxes have been ticked, etc. Any help will be appreciated. I run 10.9.4.

If it works in new user accounts, then most likely the hidden .GlobalPreferences.plist file (a hidden one residing in /username/Library/Preferences/) is corrupted. That's where text substitutions are stroed. The simplest thing to do is delete the borked user account, saving its data in a disk image, recreate the account, using the same username/password combination, logging into it, mounting the saved data disk image, and replace the items in the new account with the saved ones.

There doesn't seem to be 'symbol and text substitution' on yosemite, i.e. cannot shorten 1/2 or 1/4 as in pages 09

Has anyone found 'symbol and text substitution' on Pages 5 please? On Pages 09 you could change the style of fractions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 2/3 etc. Thanks

Text Substitution has moved out of the applications and into System Preferences > Keyboard Text. Fractions that are not present can be constructed from the special characters panel (Edit ▸ Special Characters…). Search on the word fraction.
If you want to roll your own, then choose the gear selector in the upper left corner of the special characters toolbar, and customize list… . Choose Digits - All. Once Digits - All appears in your left category panel, select it, and then scroll down to the fraction components. These are the small numbers before and after the forward slash. Double-click to place in the With category of the Keyboard Text window.
