iMessage auto correct

I am having the same problem! Although I have not seen autocorrect work once for me.

I'm also having the same problem. Has anyone managed to figure this one out?

Go to Edit> Spelling and Grammar, make sure that "Check Spelling While Typing," "Check Grammar with Spelling," and "Correct Spelling Automatically." This solves the problem for me!

Also go to Edit> Substitutions, and select "Text Replacement." for example I added that "i" be changed to "I."

Hope this helps!

Also go to Edit> Substitutions, and select "Text Replacement." for example I added that "i" be changed to "I."

Should read...

Also go to Edit> Substitutions, and select "Text Replacement." This changes anything you set under system preferences in the language and text section. For example I added that "i" be changed to "I."

Sorry but i must be dense. Whenever i hit "edit" it just allows me to select/delete messages. can someone tell me how to get to the edit referred to above? i cant get autocorrect and spell check to work in imessage or mail

thankss

Hi,

They are referring to the Edit Menu > then the Spelling choices.

Of course this only works (Dark text) when a Chat window is "Front"

In Messages this is the main Message window with an Active Chat.
