All of a sudden, auto-complete does not remember my preferred email addresses when I send an email.

Previously when I would create an email and start to fill in the "To" box with an email address, Thunderbird remembered my most used choice. Now, auto-complete simply puts in the alphabetical option and I have to scroll through a long list to find the email address I want. Any ideas?

what a ridiculous decision to change from "starts with" to "contains".
I have a further problem - having selected the address I want from the umpteen options pulled from my address book, I then press enter to add another line for another address.....and the first address I selected changes to a completely different address!
And also addresses from the address book which previously appeared only in black now randomly appear in red.
help please!

  • All of a sudden, auto-complete does not remember my preferred email addresses when I send an email. It takes an age to give suggestions.

    When addressing an email, Thunderbird used to provide a list of options almost instantly. Now it takes several seconds and stops accepting more than three or four characters until it has finished the first search. Then it works on the next few characters - again more seconds tick by. Most frustrating. Gets there eventually!

    Dear Mark,
    Thank you for this response but I am already using version 31.4. I am not a knowlegdeable computer boffin. All I know is that I used to start addressing an email and a list of options would pop up almost immediately and progressively narrow down as I typed. Now after a few characters it freezes whilst searching for some options, accepts a few more charatcers and then freezes again doing another search. It gets there eventually but so much slower. When a list of options does pop up, it takes a while to accept the address selected.

  • I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port.  The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your reply.  I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years.  The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import.  Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera.  However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing.  So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years.  I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

  • Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a pasword in the view password window and now it not asking me to remember and also it is not remembering the password when I go

    Anyone know why, firefox does not remember password for a site when you remove password from the view password site? I removed a password for a site that was not remembering the correct password for the "view password" window and now it does not guess the password and does not remember the password for that site. All other sites are being remembered.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After I deleted the password from the view password window.

    The saved password feature worked well, but the site I had saved the password for required that I change the password. I have found no way to update the password in Firefox. After I deleted the saved password, Firefox did not ask if I wanted the new password saved. When this happened before, I removed and re-installed Firefox, and then it worked. I hope there is another way to update a password.

  • Auto complete does not work when entering a URL

    firefox 3.10.6 on Fedora Linux fc13 x86_64. Show all history shows the history of visited web sites. "Remember History" is on. The auto complete was working. I did try unchecking view the bookmark toolbar, but not sure if that caused the loss of auto complete.

    I tried that and it doesn't work. I have Mac OX v 10.6.4 . Anyone have a clue? It's very frustrating. thanks.

  • All of a sudden my computer does not recognize any of my printers. Why?

    All of a sudden I cannot print anything because of my two (2) printers running, it says that they are not recognized.  It keeps saying that I need a printer to print or to restart my print spooler.  What is this all about?  I run a business off of this as well.

    Start by trying this utility - Print Diagnostic Utility.
    If you need any more help, please provide:
    the product number(s) of your printer(s)
    the operating system on your computer
    how your printer is connected

  • Results from a form submission does not keep the fields in order when I get the email

    I created a form and it works fine but when I get the email
    back the fields are out of the tab order or out of wack meaning
    they are not in order that I set the acceptabilities to.
    Is this something in the Action script I have to add and what
    would it look like or do I need to edit the CGI script?
    I can provide a link or script let me know.
    Thanks

    This is action script 3.0 Flash CS3
    Below is what I receive back after I test it but it is not in
    order. I guess I assumed that if the tab order is correct and the
    are layout in that order and the code in the form is in order it
    would come back the same way. Mostly I am trying to narrow down the
    problem and my guess is the cgi script or am I wrong? I have
    attached the code for the form.
    Thank You for you time

  • Does not remember password for Virgin Usage when it does for Webmail

    In Firefox 2.0.0.20 (the latest version that will work in WinMe), the username and password for Virgin WEBMAIL is prompted, but the identical information for an identical login form for Virgin Broadband USAGE is NOT prompted; and the settings for REMEMBERING the login details are ineffective FOR THIS SITE. I have tracked differences between these sites to differences in 'Page Info' in
    Firefox's Tools menu, but I cannot change the Page Info for USAGE to be the same as for WEBMAIL. I have failed to trigger login-details-prompting by 'artificially' adding them to the Stored Passwords list. Can someone help me make Firefox prompt the login details for USAGE as it does for WEBMAIL ?

    I see your reply was on August 16, but I was not alerted to it till now, through a 3rd party.
    http://mybroadbandusage.virginbroadband.com.au/#usage
    http://webmail.virginbroadband.com.au/?_task=mail
    The second one is for webmail, and the fields are prefilled - which is how I want the first one to behave.

  • I recently go my screen replaced and it has worked since then. But now all a sudden the screen does not light up. I know my phone is on because Siri is still responsive if I hold the home button, I just can't see anything. Any suggestions?

    Most likely the LCD Display connector simply came loose from its logic board connector. Take iPhone back to where it was repaired, and ask them to simply press the connector back into its place. Ask them to apply a bit of foam material or several small pieces of tape on top so the pressure of the flex connector plate holds it properly in place for the future.

    Hi,
    sounds like an program error. That is an problem which occurs if one or multiple components try to lock the same galaxy object at the same point in time. Did you configured something special on the given task? e.g deadlines?
    My proposal is to open an Customer Message so that we can have a detailed look onto the system. If this is not possible could you please provide the complete trace file and some more details about the modeled task?
    Best Regards

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,
