Auto complete address

I followed these instructions for autofill in the address bar:
"Filling in automatically while typing a web address
If you don't want to select a result in the autocomplete list while you are typing a web address, you can set Firefox to fill in it automatically:
1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn.
* The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
2. In the FilterSearch field, type browser.urlbar.autofill.
3. Double-click the browser.urlbar.autofill preference to set its value to true.
Type the first few letters of a web address, it will suggest one web address that matches. Type additional letters until it shows the web address you want and press EnterReturn."
It will not autocomplete the web pages I have visited before. What am I missing?
Running Mozilla 3.6.3 in Windows 7.

Populating Outlook 2013 auto-complete addresses via PowerShell

Hello,
I would like to use PowerShell to add auto-complete e-mail addressees to Microsoft Office Outlook
2013. My understanding is that since Outlook 2010 was released, the NK2 file has been retired in favor of integrating the auto-complete addresses with the PST file (see link below). With that in mind, how can I manipulate the PST file to accommodate
the auto-completion? Is there any documentation on the PST file structure that would allow me to inject this information into an existing PST? If a user has multiple PST files, how do you know which one contains the auto-complete entries — are they aggregated?

"The NK2 file has been retired in favor of integrating the auto-complete addresses with the PST file"
- I think this discription is not exactly.
In fact, Outlook 2010/2013 reads the autocomplete stream
from a message in the Associated Contents table of the Inbox of the mail account’s delivery store. (In another word, it is stored in mailbox site but is not on local). This
hidden message has a message class and subject of IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete. The autocomplete stream is stored on this message in the PR_ROAMING_BINARYSTREAM property (PidTagRoamingBinary
Canonical Property).
Go back to your quesion, the autocomplete data, whatever belongs which mail account’s delivery store, is temporarily cached in an autocomplete .dat file located in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache.

Exchange Server 2013 / Outlook 2010 Auto-Complete address problems

Hi
We run an Exchange 2013 environment where end users use Outlook 2010.
For some reason several users (at least 5 so far, maybe more that haven't noticed yet) are complaining that they are now unable to add any additional address to the Auto-Complete cache. This can be resolved manually by emptying the cache from within
Outlook then disabling and re-enabling auto-complete but obviously they then have a blank slate.
My question is - is there anything that can cause this type of problem collectively? I have seen it previously, but occurrences have always been isolated to an individual user.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You can try use NK2View tool to modify your Outlook Auto Complete Addresses.
With NK2View you can delete unwanted email addresses from your autocomplete file and add new addresses from your address book as well as edit current email address entries. And NK2View is a free download from NirSoft and you can get the software by going
to their website.
Besides, the auto-complete cache is a outlook feature, I recommend you post your issue to outlook forum.

Removing Auto Complete Address Entry

For Mail, I set Compose preference to auto complete address entry. At some point, I have entered an incorrect email address. Now, when I start to type that person's email address, I am presented with both the incorrect and correct address -- and I can never remember which is correct.
How can I remove an auto complete address entry forever?

LCR,
To remove an old address go to Mail>Window>Previous Recipients...select and "Remove From List" for the one you no longer want.
;~)

Tiger Mail to Leopard Mail - Auto Complete Addresses?

Hi there,
I've recently backed up my friend's complete Home folder from Tiger, along with all other Tiger assets required to hopefully make a smooth migration to Leopard.
NERD SCENARIO:
Apple Mail: My friend relied heavily on "Automatically complete addresses" in Apple Mail, otherwise known as Automatic Addressing, aka: auto complete TO: email addresses when typing a name. Unfortunately, when migrating to Leopard, he has now lost auto addressing after I migrated his old email (Inbox, Sent, Deleted, etc.) He's savvy, but not savvy enough to know to add his recipients to his Apple Address Book -- therefore Leopard Mail is only auto completing recent mail within this past week. I'm now trying to inform him to begin adding people to his Address Book so this doesn't happen again -- but it might be too late? He used to rely heavily on Auto Addressing to remember email addresses prior.
TRANSLATION:
1. How can I pull date or history from my backed up Mail folder from Tiger to import back into Leopard so "Auto Addressing" will remember email addresses prior?
2. Did I not backup his mail correctly? I burned an almost exact mirror of his hard drive to a DVD.
3. Has he lost his ability to auto address old email addresses? Since he didn't add them to his Address Book?
Thanks for any help!

I just did the same thing, transferring all my data from Tiger to a new Leopard MacBook Pro, and now I can't access ANY of my addresses from my old address book, even tho I can see all the data sitting in Library... How the heck do I get the hundreds of addresses into my new address book? And, why won't my new Mail pick up all the Auto-Complete addresses from the old program if I transferred everything over?

How can I delete an auto complete address in Mail that is not in Previouse Recipients?

Hello. I have an e-mail address that comes up in auto complete in my e-mail when sending. It is NOT in previous recipients and
I am unable to delete it. Hope someone can help me with it. Thanks

Have found the answer on Apple discussion and was able to delete it in my Address Book.

How can i delete all the "auto complete" addresses on my iPad mail

I want to give my old iPad 1 to a relative . I'd like to leave all the apps for her but not all the "auto complete" contacts which appear when I use the Mail function. These names are not on "contacts" and seem to have been accumulated from mails I have sent/received over the years. is there a way to just delete these without doing a complete delete of everything on the iPad?

Yes, but it is very tedious. You will have to begin typing an email address in the To: field in order to bring up those suggested email addresses. Then you tap the blue "I" next to the email address. In the next window that appears, swipe down to Remove from Recents and tap that to delete the address. You would have to do this for every single email address that you have ever received an email from, that is not in your contacts app.
But what I am curious about is why wouldn't you remove your email accounts from the iPad? That will eliminate the problem altogether. You don't want to give the iPad to your relative that way, do you?

Mail won't auto complete address completely

Hello. This may be hard to explain properly but here goes! In Mac Mail, when I type an address in the TO line, it auto completes the address and it is highlighted in blue, but I have to click in the text portion of the message in order for it to become one address in the TO line. I'm quite sure in Mavericks, that once I had begun to type the address, it would auto complete completely and I could go on to the Subject line. Hope someone can assist in this. Thanks.

Thanks Eric, that is a solution of sorts but I would find it better if it would be done without having to click in the subject area or
hitting return as you suggest. Thanks for your input.

Auto complete address bar URL alphabetical

When I start to type in the address bar the drop down auto complete shows many choices but the first two are sites I rarely visit and they are not in alphabetical order.
The site I'm usually typing is first alphabetically and usually I have dozens of different pages I visit on that site. Obviously not a reall problem just a curious inconvenience.

Hi ScoobTheNoob,
I am bad a rhyming, but Safe Mode essentially only disables add ons. I would disable them one by one to find the culprit.

How to stop Calendar from auto-completing addresses?

When I want to add both the name and location of a place for a Calendar event's location (say, the name and address of a restaurant), Calendar and/or its integration with Maps will auto-complete the address. But when it does, it removes the name, and only fills the address.
Almost every time I then try to manually enter the name, it still changes it to address-only when I save it.
Example:
What I want it to look like:
Restaurant Name
123 Address Rd
City, ST 00000
But what it auto-fills:
123 Address Rd
City, ST 00000
United States
How do I get it to stop auto-changing it, and to accept my changes the way I want them?

agreed!
tho, i seem to be able to go back & "edit" it to put the restaurant name back in - but when i do, it looses the map connection (argh).

How do I delete auto-complete addresses in iPhoto?

Help! I've found a related discussion for deleting obsolete addresses in Apple mail and on the iPad (brilliant, by the way!), but neither solution seems applicable in iPhoto. Several old or incorrect addresses are offered when I address photos to share. Apple store personnel were not familiar with the problem and said simply that iPhoto 'wasn't designed to do that, it's all together different'. Very frustrating. Any ideas?

Could you elaborate on this 'solution' you mention? There's only one place that iPhoto gets email addresses, and it's from Address Book or by you entering it manually, after which it's in Mail's list of Previous Addresses. So deleting an address from there is the only way to get rid of it.

Location of Auto-Complete Data ?

My auto-complete data is missing in Snow Leopard.
Good thing I have a complete backup of my old Leopard machine.
Does anyone know where I can find the auto-complete address data for Mail?

I hope this is the thread I need. I have repeatedly emptied my "Previous Recipients" in Mail/Window/Previous Recipients. Nevertheless Mail "autocompletes" entries in the "To" line of Mail with spurious information (i.e. a mismatch between Name and email address). The Name is autocomplete entered, accompanied by an email address from another person. My Address Book looks okay (although it has been acting a little squirelly since I upgraded to 10.6; have to shut it down and restart Mail on frequent occasions). I assume that there must be another data file between Address Book and Mail that is offering up these spurious autocomplete entries but that is just a guess. Any suggestions?

Auto typing address

All,
When I add an address, Mail will auto type it after I've typed a few characters. (probably from a cache?) How do I delete an address that comes up that's wrong. I don't want to see it in the auto type feature.

This post IS answered. The spelling was wrong in the last post but the method is correct.
How-to remove or edit the "Automatically complete addresses" list.
1. Start 'Mail'
2. pull down the 'Window' menu choice and select "Previous recipients"
3. in the window that opens you will be able to "Remove From List" any unwanted 'auto complete' addresses.

Copying Mail's Auto-Complete File

Hi All
I have just recently bought a new 27inch iMac and i was wondering if there is any way that you can copy the auto-complete address from my old MacBook Pro to my new iMac.
Does Mail store all the address in a file?
Thanks

How long have you had the new iMac? Have you generated much new data since booting the iMac the first time?
You have several options:
a. Connect the two Macs with an ethernet cable and then startup Migration Assistant.
b. Connect your new Mac to your Time Machine backup disk and startup Migration Assistant.
If you use the Time Machine backup method much will depend on whether you resumed backups with the new iMac to the same backup disk. If you didn't then you're OK. But if you did, then migrating your user account over with Migration Assistant will only migrate the same brand new iMac user account you just setup. Hopefully your old Mac is still around in this event.

"Automatically Complete Address" won't find Companies

I'm helping a friend who's using OS X Mail (1.3.11 (v622/624)) under OS X 10.3.9. She had a hard drive malfunction a few weeks ago and had to rebuild her address book. She claims that before the incident, mail would auto-complete addresses by both name and company. I can't get it to auto-complete by company any more. Is there a trick or is this not possible (i.e. she is mistaken about past functionality)?
For example, if I have a contact in Address Book with first/last of John Doe and Company ABC Co., I can get Mail to auto-complete if I type "Jo..." or "Do.." but if I type "AB.." I get nothing. I have tried with and without the "This is a company" flag checked.
Any advice?

Hi,
I have tried what you have been trying, and only get it to work from the Address Fields "Work' or "Home". This is in Mail 1.3.11, same as you. If I get an e-mail from a Company and click the add button for Address Book, it puts it in the "Work" Field... being a new entry. However, if the e-mail address has the name of the company/person in front of it to look like this: ABC<[email protected]> you should be able to get it either way. Since you are looking for "e-mail addresses", it seems the Compose window only scans the [email protected] type of entries... with the "@". Mine also, if I put a letter in the address box, it puts in the first one it sees (or the last one I used), but if I wait a second all with that letter come up, then it is just to pick the one you want. I have a company name starting with D, if I put D in the address line, all that show is e-mail addresses starting with D, not the company.
The magic is the little @ symbol.
Enjoy
