Spell-check problems fixed with PRAM reset

From MacFixIt


Spell-check problems fixed with PRAM reset

The system-wide spell check in OS X has been a welcome addition to the Mac platform, and many developers have implemented it in their programs. However, in some instances this feature may suddenly stop working.

1. Reset the computer's PRAM.

For some reason, the PRAM seems to influence the functionality of the spell checker, and several people with this problem (posting in this Apple Discussion thread) have found that resetting the computer's PRAM has fixed it. To reset the PRAM, reboot the computer and immediately hold the options-command-P-R keys. Allow the computer to reset and make the boot chimes several times, then release the keys and let it boot normally.

Other potential fixes:

1. Boot into Safe Mode.

This problem may also be addressed by booting into Safe Mode (hold shift at bootup) and then running Disk Utility to repair drive permissions. Doing this will run various system maintenance scripts that may fix the problems.

2. Run third-party maintenance utilities.

The popular program "OnyX" will clear system cache files, other temporary files, and perform a variety of system maintenance tasks. These have the potential to clear nonfunctional system features, and as such, we recommend you try this before attempting other more invasive workarounds such as archiving and installing the system.

Trackpad avec 2 doigts

1. Use the Terminal to enable proper scrolling behavior.

If you have just transferred your software and data to a new MacBook or MacBook Pro and are having troubles with two-finger gestures, then entering the following command in the Terminal should re-enable it:

defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scrollBehavior 2
After entering this command, either restart the computer or log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

iCal indexation

Remise à zéro de l'indexation de ical par spotlight



Fixes:
1. Ensure spotlight is on.
Go to the "Spotlight" system preferences and ensure search results are enabled for "Events & To Do Items" (Number 7) in the list of available categories. Additionally, ensure that the calendars folder or any parent folder is not in the "Privacy" list. If users have added their home folders or library folders to the privacy list, this will prevent spotlight from indexing files within those folders, including the "Calendars" folder that's located in the user's "Library".

2. Reset Spotlight.
If Spotlight is setup properly, users might next try unchecking the "Events & To Do Items" in the "Search Results" list, and then add the "Calendar" folder (/Home Folder/Library/Calendars) to the "Privacy" list. When this is done, restart the system to ensure the Spotlight services get restarted and then reverse these settings. This should force Spotlight to reindex the calendar folder.

3. Manually reindex calendars.
In addition to resetting Spotlight, users can manually start indexing on the calendar folder. Spotlight consists of the "mds" server daemon, the "mdimport" utility for scanning metadata, and various other utilities for managing the metadata. To force indexing of the calendar folder, run the following command in the terminal:

mdimport ~/Library/Calendars
4. Delete iCal's preference file.
Faulty application behavior can be caused by corrupt preferences files. Users can try removing the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file from the /Home Folder/Library/Preferences/ folder, and then relaunch iCal.

5. Delete and reload calendars.
If the previous suggestions do not work, users can try clearing the calendar data and reloading it. To do this, first backup the calendars to a safe location (such as the desktop) using the "Backup iCal..." option in the "File" menu. Then quit iCal and remove the files and folders in the /Home Folder/Library/Calendars/ folder. Launch iCal again and from the "File" menu choose "Restore iCal...," selecting the backup created previously.
