Autofill on SMS is very annoying. How can I shut it off?

I have to send a lot of text to my work partner through short code/etc, but the autofill predicts the wrong words and makes me either have to go back and delete, or sends 'interpreted' gibberish.
Is there a simple way to switch this unnecessary fuction off?

Well I suppose this is another thing for apple to include in their updates.
I've had the phone 3 days and so far, 4 normal day-to-day basic phone operations I use it for have been either impededed or are impossible.
I was all for apple not opening the phones to developers. Before I got one. Hopefully they notice these elementary usability flaws and fix them on what is otherwise a pretty solid device.

  • Voice over always on - How can I shut if off?

    somehow, voiceover has decided to turn itself, and I can't shut it off....
    Disabling voice over in the universal access system preference does not shut it off.
    Deleting the user's universal access preference plist as well as voice over's preference plist does not shut it off
    Rebooting does not shut it off.
    Zapping the PRAM does not shut it off.
    How do I stop voiceover from activating itself? It's driving me nuts!
    Thanks in advance

    command f5 only works until I log in/out or reboot...
    When the computer boots up, it does not automatically log in. So, at the the login window on a fresh reboot, voice over has activated itself. Command f5 will shut it off, and when I log into either user account (there are 2 accounts on the machine) voice over is not active. However, as soon as I log out and return to the log in screen, voice over has re-activated itself.
    If I reboot from an account (when voice over is not active), then it will be active after the computer boots and while it waits at the login screen...
    Thanks!

  • After downloading Firefox 7.0.1, my tabs will randomly move to a new window. Very annoying-how can I fix it? Thanks!

    This problem only started after updating Firefox to 7.0.1--
    When I'm browsing the internet, the tab I'm on will randomly move to a new window. It's very random and very annoying. Please help me to make it stop!
    Thanks!

    Are you inadvertently using "tab tearing". If you drag a tab below the tabs bar and then release it it will create a new window moving the tab to it -- not a new feature. There is no animation or symbol attached to cursor -- at least not for me.
    I put up with it and generally see it happen as tabs will widen, or my tabs counter will reduce.

  • HT204492 When I use remote, it talks to me in a quick voice with number of button choices, then tells me the number, ect.  Very annoying.  She talks so fast as well.  How can I shut that off or make her talk slowly, or not at all.

    When I use mt Appew TV remote it talks to me, in fast voice, telling me where I am, number of choices, etc.  It is annoying and I can't find a way to just have screen on tv and then access whatever without this fast talking voice.

    Turn off Voice Over in the Accessibility section of AppleTV Settings.

  • Systemd is very annoying -- how can I disable timers for updatedb etc?

    I deleted /usr/bib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/updatedb.timer and touched the file to prevent its recreation after an update.
    But the updatedb job kept running still. BTW, I have no job in /etc/anacrontab.
    Now I delete /usr/bib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer and /usr/bib/systemd/system/updatedb.service and symbol link them to /dev/null. I do not know whether it will work or not yet.
    The design philosophy for systemd seems broken. Why would many packages create lots of services and timer files and most of them are just one command line?  the systemd timer functionality is already provided by cron perfectly. 
    If we disable some targets by removing, A package update will restore them.  So the only way is to leave empty stubs there. Isn't it cumbersome?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks.

    see https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 26044.html
    And timers are enable/disabled/stated/stopped the same way as systemd service files.
    This also does not belong is community contributions.

  • I bought a used iPod touch and now the previous owner has turned on find my phone. How can I shut it off

    so ya I bought my daughter a new iPod touch for her birthday from the pawnshop. They said it's been put through the police data base and is not stolen(protocol ?). I took it home and put it away. Her bday is now next week and I got it out to put a cool wallpaper in it and charge it up. Turns out the previous owner has now turned the find my phone app on , so I can't do anything with it now? is it possible to factory reset it? I feel like I got screwed big time:( i hope someone has an idea foe me cause i am totally illiterate when it comes to technology.

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

    Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.

    When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

    You're welcome, j. If not enough free space availabe is the issue, now is a good time to upgrade to a much larger HD, as prices have never been better. Clear, illustrated directions are available at ifixit.com, macsales.com, powerbookmedic.com, youtube and others. Macsales, amazon and newegg have a nice selection of HDs, while the latter two also have lots of user reviews.
    Given that your MBP is 4-5 years old, and the average life-span of a HD is 3-5 years . . . .
    Given that you have a 17" MBP, you can install any capacity HD currently available, just make sure it's 2.5", SATA, and 12.5mm high or less (there's at least one Seagate monster out there that's 14-15mm high). All other things being equal, a 5400RPM HD is going to use less battery power, run cooler, quieter, and with less vibration, and, of course, run a bit slower than a 7200. An SSD is also a possibility (a very expensive one), but you're not going to see anywhere near the speed bump as newer machines due to the SATA 1 (1.5Gbps) SATA/HD bus bottelneck.

  • I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

    I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

    Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
    First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
    If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
    Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
    No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

  • Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

    Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Now launch Safari and try a video.
    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.
