Q: Lost the ability to spell check on all applications

I recently updated my system to Mavericks 10.9.4, since then I have lost the ability for spell checking in all applications. Check spelling while I type is not working and I am unable to check spelling manually through the app menus. Skype, Facebook, Notepad.. you name it, spelling correction functionality is no bueno. Has anyone ever heard of this? I have tried changing languages, booting in safe mode... the only thing I did notice was that the box to check "correct spelling automatically" won't stay checked, but clearly something else is wrong.

    "MacKeeper" is a scam. Do not use it to back up.

    Tried this, there were some errors that it identified but the issue persists. Will need to make backups of everything and proceed with Linc's latest suggestions.

    I just set up an external drive and will get my machine backed up. Need to work today and will go through that process tonight. Once that is complete I will run through the steps posted earlier.

     

    Why is MacKeeper a scam? Am I that naieve to think that it was helping?

    Why is MacKeeper a scam?

    It's a scam because that's what its developers chose to make it. Search this site for the thousands of discussions of the subject.
