  It is like I am on an old version of wordpress as I dont get the spell checker etc to show up when I am writing pages / posts. Can someone tell me what am i doign wrong?

  BTW I am using Safai as my browser on my MAC.

  On another site which I access via firefox on my Dell, the functionalites do show up. Is this a mac problem?

  Safari has known issues. The visual rich text editor has a built-in spellchecker and so does Firefox. The stanadrd editor has a look up feature. Please check this thread as this issue came up earlier today https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=7903&replies=13#post-53204

  It’s Safari. The browser has issues with the TinyMCE editor. Best bet would be either switch to firefox or switch to the other editor. You can switch editors at Dashboard -> Users -> Your profile -> The check box near the top of the page and click on save options.

  Hope this helps,
