In your second DE below, you should type NDSolve, not NDSOlve. Also, 
your "primes" that indicate derivatives are "back quotes" use the 
regular single quote (apostrophe):

NDSolve[{y'[x] == g[x], g'[x] == g[x] + y[x], g[1] == 1,
   y[1] == 1}, {y, g}, {x, 1, 2}]

As for the first one, I can't say, since you did not post any initial 
conditions.

Cheers,

Kevin
