Autofill from history?

When I used to type an address in the address bar I could go directly to a site by typing in "1shotprod" with no problem. Now when I type in that address, or any address, Safari uses my history as a guide. Most of the time I end up at a cox.com search site saying the site was not found. Even if the site is in my history folder. If I don't type the '.com' I get a 'page not found' page.
Why? What changed? Why do I have top add the '.com' tag every time now?

HI Bob,
Unfortunately, the only workaround is to use Private Browsing. The url's you see when you start typing a web page address are collected from your History and Bookmarks. One way to avoid that is to turn on Private Browsing from the Safari Menu Bar, Safari/Private Browsing. In private browsing, Safari won't remember the pagesyou visit, your search history, or your autofill information.
As so many Safari users are not happy about this, please provide feedback here.

"Don't load tabs until selected" ... Where is the setting so that it affects the tabs when I click "Open all in tabs" from History?

I am trying to reload all the tabs from history, it's a couple thousand. I am not concerned about system RAM I have 16GB. I know it will be slow, I'm not looking for any warnings or questions about why I have to reload that many tabs or how to work with the restore.bak sessionstore files.
The question I need an answer to is, "What setting do I need to change so that when I reload multiple tabs, it doesn't say "connecting" on all of them even though I have already selected "Don't load tabs until selected"

I think we both understand what you want. And we're both saying we are not aware of any built-in way to do this.

Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL.

Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

After hours restoring phone and resetting all my accounts and settings the Bluetooth is back on. Not sure how long this will last. In regards to AirPlay taking over, I had to drive far enough from our wifi signal to allow the Bluetooth to take back the audio. Its working for now.

I want to delete a single contact from history.

Hi!! I want to delete a single contact from history. I have read that few users have asked similar questions in the past as well and also I have found some of them answering or rather questioning why one will like to delete a single log from the history. ???
The answer is simple. For me, I may not want my friends/parents or any other know whom I was talking with. This feature is very much there in Nokia and it is very usefull as well.
So in case, any body find the solution, please reply.

In the present iOS, it's all or nothing. You can suggest Apple add the ability to edit the call history log here:

There are two ways - you can boot your old Mac in Target Mode (reboot your Mac, and as soon as you hear the startup chime hold down the T key on the keyboard until you see the yellow/orange Firewire logo on screen). You can then use a FireWire cable to connect your new mac to your old one. The old Mac hard drive will appear on your new Mac as if it is an external hard drive.
Details on Target Disk Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
If you don't have a firewire cable but you do have a home network (i.e. both computers can access the Internet at the same time), you can share the hard drive on your old Mac and then connect to it on your new Mac.
Good article on sharing your hard drive: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
Finally, if the above doesn't thrill you, you can hook an external drive to your old Mac, copy the mail folder over to it, then connect the external drive to your new Mac and copy it over. It's two steps, but if you don't have a firewire cable and aren't comfortable with sharing over a network it will work just as well - you just have to wait for the mail folder to copy twice instead of once.
If you get stuck post back!

Safari opens a new tab, randomly from history every time I am clicking on something on my opened safari page!

I have a mac book pro and my os x is 10.9.5 is updated. I use safari 7.1 ( the last updated version) , firefox and google chrome. It is a few days that I have the problem of opening an unwanted new tab from history ( just random but usually mac cleaner) automatically every time that I click on my opened page! Now I see that this also happened in firefox and chrome. I have tried, un-installing extensions, clear history, reset safari/chrome/ firefox... But the problem is not solved. I am really confused! I see many adds in every page I open too. which I did not see before this. I appreciate if anyone can help me get rid of these unwanted tabs!

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine item from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Preventing duplicate form submission when page is loaded from history

Hi
We have record insertion forms some of which insert unique
records into sql databases and some which may not. Is there a way
of stopping the user pulling the page from history (or using the
back button) and then resubmitting the data?
I have put a trigger on the databases that basically updates
existing data rather than re-inserting it if a duplicate is entered
but as some of the record submissions are not unique this isn't
always possible. I would also rather restrict the submission client
side to reduce bandwidth and database calls.
I have tried various 'no caching' techniques on the page but
none seem to work. Anyone have any bright ideas ... I am all out of
ideas bright or not!!!
TIA
Karen

Karen
I have used session variables to control this sort of thing.
Basically the
insert/update statement tests for the existance of a variable
with a
particular name. If no variable exists then this will
indicate that the
request is coming from a history file, and it will not allow
the process.
Equally as part of the insert process change the value in the
variable and
do not allow and insert if the variable holds that value.

Replace layer from history feature.

Here's a little thing I've been missing - the ability to replace a layer, with the active history step easily.
As an example lets say you have an adjustment layer, which you recently modified. You compare it with the original snapshot, the one created when you open the file, and you say 'hang on what I did this session looks like complete rubbish, I want to replace it with the layer from the snapshot quickly'. A control click and the option to choose "Replace Layer From History" would be a quick way to do this. This would of course work with any layer.
I'm of course aware that there is a workaround where you can create a new document from any snapshot, and then drag to replace and delete the old layer - but this one click method would be much appreciated.
Thanks, appreciating your love and support.

Thanks Chris…
• I guess mode conversions would require an automatic or warned conversion for pixel layers.
• No mode conversion can be done retaining adjustment layers so I'm not sure how that would be a problem, because there would be no current layers in the file that relate to the history state.
Maybe if you convert the mode the whole operation just becomes impossible/ grayed out?
• Layer oganization - hmm I guess thats one which I hadn't considered. I assume history states must have 'identifiers' attached to each layer, othewise the history brush wouldn't work. So relacing an entire layer with history, similar to paste with history, shouldnt be that difficult unless I'm missing something.

B2B. Exclude superfluous transactions from history

Hi,
My transactions:
Transaction.
We need to show only some of customer transactions.
I try to disable their by authorization object CRM_ORD_PR. Ok. it's work.
I get message: Authorization missing to show this document.
But I see extra transactions in the history!
so, my question is:
How to exclude superfluous transactions from history ?

The RFC CRM_ISA_GEN_DOCUMENT_SEL handles all the search requests. Depending upon the search object, this RFC dispatches the requests to the right BAdI implementation.
For Orders you can customize the results in CL_IM_CRM_ISA_GDS_ORDER

Shuffle Is Autofilling From Non-Existent Playlist...

I have reset, restored, rebooted etcetera...
When I choose the Playlist that I want it to Autofill from, it fills from a long-gone playlist from months ago.
What's up with this... ?

These problems have happened since the 'upgrades' on iTunes and iPod - what a mess...
I deleted all of my existing playlists and then named a new playlist the same 'name' as my iPod. Put tunes in that playlist from my library, and then told iPod to autofill from that new playlist. It worked... this time anyway.

How do I clear all my surveys from history?

I do a Helluva lot of survey work online filling out surveys, surfing web ads and the like every single day. They really clutter up History but the only way I can think of to get them off History is by right clicking each one separately and then deleting it! I tried right clicking one and holding down CTRL key so I could multi select and clear the lot of them at once but this will not work! Deleting all History even for 1-4 hours at a time is not an option because I use History to find old websites I have been to or need. Ideally, I'd like to set History so it auto deletes surveys as I finish them and close out of them or simply have History ignore surveys and web ad surf sites completely. Is any of this possible or must I delete this crap one at a time which will take eons to do? Thanks- Jack/keimanzero Scion of Anime in Campbelltown/Palmyra PA USA
PS- Firefox is always causing Adobe products crashes as well as causing its own crashes, causing my Windows 7 OS to crash and causing my Taskbar and my Start Bar to vanish w/o warning. I also cannot get rid of these darn Allow bars that read Firefox denied access to automatic page advancement although the word is something beginning with a 'D' and I forgot it. Why can't we email this stuff to Firefox or Mozilla directly? What do they have to hide eh?

Hi Jack,
You can use the Library to erase certain pages of History. It's all conveniently organization by date and time.
*To access the Library click the clipboard icon and go to Show All Bookmarks -> then click History on the left side pane. Alternatively you can also get here by pressing Ctrl + Shift + B

It's not Firefox that causes Flash to crash. Adobe Flash is just a piece of crap and has frequent problems. You can folllow my advice below to disable Protected Mode in Flash. Mozilla is working on an alternative called Shumway to replace Flash. Shumway is on the Nightly build however it isn't ready nor is it enabled by default. It's pretty buggy.
Allow bars that read Firefox denied access to automatic page advancement although the word is something beginning with a 'D' and I forgot it
Can you remember the exact word it said?
Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode

Safari on iPad Air 2 flashes random pages from history

iPad Air 2 64GB WiFi running 8.1.3
When I open Safari, a random page from my history (usually from days or weeks ago) flashes on the screen for 1/2 second and then shows the current webpage.
I've cleared History and Website Data in Settings>Safari. Still does it. Safari even flashes pages that should have been cleared In that process!
I then restored the iPad as a new device through iTunes. Still does it.
I've had the iPad since November. It never did this until January. Hopefully the next iOS update will take care of it. Very annoying.

Forgot to mention- this happens upon launching Safrari from either a "quit" state or "background" state.
