Auto Fill when not wanted

Trying to fill out an application and when I enter info it auto fills on the like field afterwards. Example: My home address is not the same as my work address. When I try to change the work address it changes my home address. I don't want that to happen.

Actually, there's NOTHING you can do about it with Reader.
As was stated, when a form is created with Acrobat or LiveCycle, fields can be "repeating" like initials in a contract, where needed. That way, once the end user enters the initials once, the rest of the fields (which all have the same name) will populate with the same info.
Whoever authored that form did this with the "Address" field. Since both work address and home address have the same name, Adobe Reader is designed to populate them with the same info. Reader cannot undo this setting.

Turn off auto-fill when searching apps?

We bought my 10 year old a Touch for Christmas. Is there a way to disable the auto-fill when searching for an app? I started to type in "Security Software" and as soon as I got the "SE" entered, it started offering up things like "Free Sex Jokes" or "Sex Positions". Needless to say, not exactly what I would like my 10 year old to see, much less have access to. Anyone have a solution? Does this mean someone else has used this iPod before and it saved their search history (it was purchased as a brand new iPod from Toys R Us). Thanks!

It appears that the App store is just displaying itms that start with the characters entered so far and that is different than auto-fill. It is like Google instant search. To avoid the "nasty" words you mention, placing age restrictions on the App Store and other items might solve your problem. To set restrictions go to Setting>Genera>Restriction and set the restrictions you want. You apply a passcode to prevent unauthorized changing of the restrictions. It is covered n Chapter 19 of the Users Guide.

Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

Auto fill is not working

ok, second question (still no free sex for a correct answer, sorry)
My i-book G4, which I bought used, does not seem to have an auto fill capability. I have looked in System Preferences but do not see anything regarding autofill. Any ideas?
Signed 'tired of typing my email addy' in Vermont

I also have "Other Forms" checked in Safari, so that shouldn't keep it from working.
I may be wrong about this, but I think autofill may work better on some sites than on others. It seems that with my mailing address, I have to fill it out manually sometimes, and other times it will autofill. Also, if you delete cookies, you have to fill in manually. At least in the OS I am running, which is not the one you would be running.
Good luck!

Auto Fill does not work

I have a new iMac with Lion OSX. In Safari, I checked the box for auto fill to populate my demographic info in websites from Address Book. It does not work. Any suggestions?

I am still using Snow Leopard on my iMac. I've done all that with the address book and Safari autofill preferences. I've had it that way for years, but in recent times, it seems to be completely useless, as every time I try to autofill a web form, all I get is this error dialog:
"AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill"
Luckily, I use 1Password3 and don't have to rely on the random usability of the Safari autofill feature, but it would be good to know just what happened to make it so useless.

How prevent iCal ALARM reminders popping up when not wanted?

Sometimes I don't want to see my alarm box popping up to remind me of things.
Suddenly, & frequently, the pesky iCal Alarm box pops up in the middle of the screen with another preset alarm reminder, insisting on my immediate attention. Like when I'm watching a video on my mac.
Then I've got to get up and move it out of the way, but as soon as I touch it, the video which I've set to full screen shrinks to small & I've got to click it to big again. This is just one of the inconveniences.
Please, how can I set the iCal alarm to give it a rest for a while and save those reminders for later
I've made lots of iCal alarms to remind me of things throughout the day. so these interruptions are a constant problem.
Q#2: Why doesn't my ALARM BOX show active the Yellow Button so I could relegate it to the side Dock? Or even the Green Button, so I could enlarge it when I want to see all my open reminders without scrolling?
Instead, My ical ALARM BOX only has the Red button, which closes it out and loses all those reminders therein until it's their time again.
Oh, dear, I don't think anybody can solve this problem.
Or
can
you?

Auto-fill will not stop filling in my sign in info

When I go into my Comcast e-mail account, the username and password are now always already filled in and I want to stop it from happening. I've already tried looking at Firefox and Comcast forums to find answers to my question. I do not check the "remember me" box at the sign in window. I've already cleared my history and selected the "Everything" option, making sure that ALL boxes are checked. I've gone into "Tools>Options>Privacy>Firefox will:Use custom settings for history" and UNchecked the box labeled "Remember search and form history". I've even tried updating Firefox and when that didn't work I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled it. For some reason, I still go to the Comcast sign in and my username and password are automatically filled out. Can someone please help me fix this issue? What am I not doing correctly?

I did both of the things suggested and it has fixed the problem. Thank you both very much! :D

Sony A7 memory recall when not wanted?

Hello community member! It's my first post here 'm having a rather odd issue with my A7 purchased not so long ago. The memory recall screen will appear from time to time for no apparent reason, even I have my mode dial on S or A. Some time it even happens when I simply holding the camera without touching any button, however it seems the issue most often triggered by pressing C2 button which I assigned to magnifying focus. this is rather annoying as I would be in middle of a shot then all in a sudden memory recall happens and changed to a completely different setting. Many times I spend time to adjust back to the setting I wanted, only to have another unintended memory recall and have to start over - a recipe to miss the shot.... I have updated to latest firmware v2.0, and have tried to factory reset a few times, issue remains. Any suggestion? At this point I don't even care about the memory function, if there is a way to disable the memory I'd be happy... kind regards and thanks in advance.

Hi OddDodo,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
Good day and thank you for the comment. There is no way to disable Memory Recall but you can restore the settings back to default if you wish to. MENU → (Setup) → [Setting Reset] → Initialize. After initializing, the settings in the Memory Recall should be removed. Also PlayMemories Camera apps will also be uninstalled but you can download them again.
For further assistance, We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accept as Solution".
Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

How do I stop iPhoto opening when not wanted?

I don't use iPad - I prefer Lightroom. So when my iMac was updated to Yosemite iPhoto started opening every time I plug a compact flash card into the iMac. This is annoying to say the least as each time I have to close it making sure it doesn't start importing images into the wrong place.
How do I "turn off" this feature? No is no help in the iPhoto "help" and online Apple isn't any better.

Changing this in iPhoto alone may not suffice. Then change the setting in Image Capture as well.
Insert your Compact Card reader with the card inserted.
Then launch Image Capture.
Under "Devices" select your card reader. Then click the disclosure triangle in the lower left corner to reveal the ""Connecting this ... opens" and set this to Light Room or "No Application".
You will have to do this for each photo device (camera, iPhone, iPad, ...) you own.

Classic always loads at startup (reboot), when not wanted

I used an old version of Quark XPress last week (because Quark 6 is such a beast in OSX, but that's another story), so of course launching prompted the simultaneous loading of the Classic flavor of OS9. I completed the work I was doing at that time (actually I gave up reviving a newly-corrupted Quark file, but that's another story) and now a week later after multiple reboots each time I am getting Classic loaded at the same time. When I go into Classic under System Preferences, the box labeled "Start Classic when you log in" is NOT checked.
How can I get rid of this added parasite to my bootup routine, when it is not needed?

go to system preferences, click accounts and then click the login items tab. What applications are in the list, if one of them says something about classic click it and the click the minus button at the bottom of the window.

MacBOOK Air 11-inch Goes in Sleep/Idle Mode when Not Wanting it To

Hi,
I have set my energy saving preferences when connected to the power-adapter to NEVER SLEEP on my MACBOOK AIR 11inch, however; after 20minutes no matter what program is up and running at the time (i.e. be it a moive, blank screen, etc.) it will go in to idel mode/screen saver mode. Trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with this. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Go to System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver > Screen Saver tab > Move the Start screen saver slider to the right. Never.
