Can I turn off recent emails/contacts in iOS 6?

I believe recent contacts/emails is a new feature of iOS 6. It is the feature that helps you auto-complete email addresses etc. I understand that in an enterprise environment this can be switched off.
Can I switch off or block the recent contacts outside of an enterprise environment?
I do not want my wife who shares my icloud account, but not any email or contacts, to have my work colleagues email addresses popping up everytime she attempts to address an email. This seems like it is a privacy setting that has been missed out?

I've turned on BOLD TEXT and turned on REDUCE MOTION but for me it feels like more than just the zooms in and out... I'm getting sick just reading emails and texts or just glancing at the lock screen. It's intant nausea. The only thing I can think of is that it's something to do with refresh rate or frequency of the screen.
I thought I'd just get used to it but it has not subsided. I only hope I don't have to resort to backgrading to iOS 6 or worse, moving to a different brand of phone.

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • How can I turn off base64 email encoding in iPlanet Process Manager?

    Email sent out from a workflow running in the Process
    Manager seems to be base64 encoded. How can I turn
    off the encoding?

    No worries. Typically you can rename a machine by just changing the name System Preferences -> Sharing. But there is also a command line option to adjust the name, and if you don't use the command line option, the server freaks out and will alert you about the change forever. ie - for servers, you need to use the command I describe below.
    The command is called changeip and can be run from command line in Terminal.app. It is for manually chaning the ip address and or name of a machine. It basically has 4 parameters: old ip address, new ip address, old machine name, new machine name.
    Basically the command looks like this:
    sudo changeip OLDIPADDRESS NEWIPADDRESS OLDNAME NEWNAME
    If any value is being kept the same, just repeat the identical information as both the old and new value.
    Example 1: Changing the IP address and host name. This would update the machine's ip address to be 192.168.1.2 and its name would be update to my_new_name.
    sudo changeip 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 my_old_name my_new_name
    Example 2: Keeping the IP address the same but updating the name. This would update the machine's name to my_new_name but would keep the same ip address.
    sudo changeip 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 my_old_name my_new_name
    Most likely you're just wanting to update the name, in which case you should follow the second example. If you run this, be sure to reboot the machine afterwards and test to make sure that any enabled services are running properly.

  • Can i turn off the option that enables iOS 8 to connect to my apple tv without using wifi?

    I am a schoolteacher and our school uses Apple-tv to project lesson contents. We have separated the students wifi network from the teachers wifi network, so our students won't be able to use the apple-tv's and disrupt our lessons.
    Since the introduction of ios8, the separated wifinetwork doesn't do the trick anymore. Students can now use every Appltv in their vicinity to project whatever image they want. This is a problem.
    Can we turn off the option that enables IOS8 to connect to apple-tv without using the wifi network?
    Thanks in advance.
    Marco

    Unless buffering a rental/prior purchase to watch it should not consume significant bandwidth when connected.
    Power wise it uses 6W at most.
    You can't power off from the remote but you can set it to sleep -
    Press and hold Select for five seconds (or go to Settings > Sleep Now on Apple TV (2nd generation), or Settings > Standby on Apple TV (1st generation)

  • Can't Turn Off Push Email

    I am using Exchange for my email but I can't stop the push email. I would rather have it fetch email every 15 minutes to save battery life. When I go into settings, I have the following set:
    Under Fetch New Data - Every 15 Minutes
    Push is turned Off
    Under Advanced and then under my email account I have it set to Fetch.
    I don't see any other place that I need to change but when ever I get an email on my desktop computer I get it immediately on my iPhone as well. I tried to set it to manual and that works.
    Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Sure Apple and Yahoo allow this, but it is up to the user to know the difference when creating the account. This is called garbage in = garbage out, which happens to everyone on occasion.
    When creating a Yahoo account with the Yahoo account preset on the iPhone, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. Turning Push access off for recieved messages doesn't change or switch the account to a POP account. It is still an IMAP account with Push access turned off.
    You want to access the account as a POP account. If so, delete your Yahoo account on the iPhone and when re-creating the account select "Other" instead. After the data entry on the first screen, select POP as the account type followed by entering the required settings for accessing the account as a POP account.

  • Can't turn off MobileMe email alerts

    iPhone 4, iOS 5, iCloud.
    I have several email accounts on my iPhone and for some reason, it gives me an alert sound every time I get an email on my me.com account. The others don't alert me - I don't want alerts on any of them.
    I turned Mail off in Notifications center and can't seem to find a notification setting for individual accounts. To be clear, I only get a tri-tone alert sound when .me mail comes in. Nothing in notification center.
    It gets really annoying because I'll get Apple marketing emails at 2-5am, waking me from my peaceful slumber!
    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Rey

    Settings > Sounds > New Mail > None.
    This is a global setting for all accounts.  There is no individual account alert tone setting.  Your other accounts are giving you alert tones, but they aren't push mail accounts so that you don't receive the mail until you manually fetch it.  Also, you can set your MobileMe accout NOT to push mail so that you don't get anything in the middle of the night.
    FYI, Apple will be terminating MobileMe in June, 2012.  You need to migrate to iCloud real soon if you don't want to lose that account and other services (i.e. Find My Phone)

  • Can't turn off new email notifications. (iphone5)

    Randomly, I started getting pinged with every incoming email even though I have sounds for new email set to off.  Silent vs. non-silent doesn't make a difference. (iphone5)

    Check Settings > Notifications > Mail > [each and every email account you have] > New Mail Sound

  • I can't turn off the email alerts on my iphone 5.  Any ideas?

    Under settngs - sounds it says new mail - none- but it still pings when a new email cmes through.  Any ideas would be welcome - thanks.

    Hi dominican60,
    If you are still receiving audible pings when receiving mail, you may want to check the current settings in Notification Center. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How can I turn off the "zoom" effect in IOS 7?

    Hi gang,
    So I just downloaded IOS7 and have disabled the weird parallax effect. Now the next thing to disable is that horrible zoom -- you know, like when you go back to the "Home" screen from an application and everything "flies" into place. Can someone help me make it go away?

  • Can't turn off iPad passcode lock in iOS 7

    I searched these forums looking for the answer to this question. Some said that there is an option called turn passcode off under general, passcode lock. I don't have that in my menu. I have two options, Autolock and passcode lock. I have set autolock to never. When I go to passcode lock, and turn it off it simply asks for a new pass code. There is no option anywhere to turn it off. Is this no longer possible?

    You should go into settings, general,, passcode lock. Enter your current passcode then you'll see the option to turn it off.

    How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

  • Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

    I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate.
    How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
    In response to the original problem:
    I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
    tell application "Contacts"
              set thePeople to selection
              repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                        set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                        if theDate is not missing value then
                                  set the year of theDate to 1604
                                  set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                        end if
              end repeat
    end tell
    copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.
