Address book: how do you turn off auto-fill?

Address book fills in with past info from existing cards in almost every field. This is surely the most unhelpful feature for a data base that typically has unique information in every field in every card. I cannot fathom how to turn it off. Help would be much appreciated.

Sandy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I know that this is of little consolation to you, but the Tiger version of Address Book no longer has that annoying interface.
I know of no way to turn it off in Panther.
;~)

    How do you turn off auto complete in finder?

    A Google search turned up Stopping Autocomplete with "Go To Folder" Function and this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2601699?threadID=2601699  Knowledge Base has a few articles on "auto complete" pertaining to certain applications.  Didn't see any articles though about it for the Finder. 
    Yes you are correct.  I didn't know it was a "feature."  Thank you for pointing that out. 

  • How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting  the ipod  to PC?

    My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

    A couple of ways...
    Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
    Or...
    Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
    Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.

  • How do you turn off auto-reply/notify in iCal?

    I'm sure there's a simple answer to this because I've searched high and low and I just can't disable the auto-notify/auto-reply feature in iCal when I delete a meeting notice someone else invited me to.
    What's the process for turning off this great feature (tongue in cheek)? I'm stumped.
    JimN

    A great solution here:

    Install and it works a treat. You can either disable the auto-reply altogether, or have ical ask you first.
    Hope that helps!

  • How do you turn off auto predict on wordpad?

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
    more path shortcuts:

  • How do you turn off the auto grid?

    How do you turn off the auto grid? I read in a forum that the solution is "View- show- turn off grid". But the weird thing is I had to have that website open to even get the alternative up under "View". If I didn´t, there were other alternatives there. Why?
    The second problem is, when I finally got the "Turn off auto grid" alternative up, it will not be unchecked…. I´m working on a mac.
    Thank you in advance!

  • How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto ?

    How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto? I have about 8,000 old photos I would like to import but it splits them in to loads of events. Would just like to leave them in year folders.

    First try, if importing a sample folder with two images with different days, more than a week apart, will import them as only one event on your mac and  the autosplit is behaving the same for you as for me.
    May be I will have to do it folder by folder which will take for ever.
    Would it be possible for you to join some of the folders before importing?
    Or join your events in iPhoto after importing. Creating yearly events is fairly simple (tested in iPhoto 9.5.1)
    Create a smart album for each year (File > New ) with the smart rule "Date is in the range ...."
    Then select all photos in this smart album and use the command from the "events" menu "create event". This will collect all photos in a new yearly event.
