Can't clear drop down addresses

Hi all ... i have cleared history and emptied the cache and re-set safari but when I type in a character in the address window it still drops down all the sites I've visited ... I want to clear this out ... anyone any ideas please ... Roger

There is no way to turn off URL Autocomplete. Autocomplete gets its data from the cache, History, and Bookmarks. The only way to minimize autocomplete is to periodically clear the cache and History and to go through your Bookmarks and delete old and seldom used ones, including those created when Safari was first installed.
One work-around is to add an extra blank space when you are done typing in the address. All the various alternatives will then disappear.
You can add your voice to all the others who want to turn autocomplete off by requesting a toggle in Preferences by sending a feature request via "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu.

  • Can't clear drop down in second bar of firefox browser (history) tried all the usual procedures

    On the left side in the second bar of firefox browser is a small box that when you click on the arrow drop down occurs with past history. I cannot clear this no matter what I do using all the conventional procedures any suggestions? This is a mac os x

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • I can't get drop-down menus to work, I scroll over & click, NOTHING happens. When clicking on certain thumbnail pics to change the larger view, the pic doesn't change. So annoying! I can't use FF like this. I'm newly updated, 10.0.1. Help anyone?

    This sites (http://video.pbs.org/) drop downs "Programs" and "Topics" don't work when clicked.
    This page (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/ain-t-over-until-it-s-clover-dress) when clicking on the thumbnails of the green dress, the larger view pic does NOT change.

    I'm running the new version as well. I tested the last page you mentioned, and it works fine for me. I'm not sure if i can help without more information.

  • Can't click drop-down lists in curves adjustment layer

    Odd behavior in released x64 version of CS6 for Windows: on my laptop (ASUS G73S with 1.5 gb nVidia GeForce video), when I crop an image, the drop-down menus in a curves adjustment layer become unclickable. But I can still access the RGB channels using the Alt + 3, 4 and 5 shortcuts. This behavior doesn't occur on my workstation, and if I don't crop the image, the drop-down menus work fine. I have the crop tool set to delete pixels. Also, if I apply curves directly (not with an adjustment layer), the dialog box works OK. And the other adjustment layers seem to be working, too. It's only the curves layer that's doing this.
    Any ideas what this could be? I'm wondering if I should report it as a bug.

    I've noticed that a few times on windows 8 32 bit, photoshop cs6 32 bit with 4gb of ram, a nVidia 8400 gs graphics card and open gl seems to work fine.
    I guess that's probably some kind of glitch.
    One way to get back the dropdown is to click on the Curves Display Options in the flyout menu and then just click OK in the dialog.
    Added: It doesn't seem to happen if the crop tool is set to Classic Mode.

  • In Elements 5 I can no longer drop down menu for Blending modes

    Hi
    Something has broken my Elements 5 or is it me? I load a Jpeg make a copy, click on copy layer the blending mode writing goes from greyed out to normal. If I now click on the blending mode menu to drop it down or darken it so I can use the up/down keys to change modes nothing happens. I'm using Vista all updated and Elements 5.0.2. Tried repairing it to no avail. Any Ideas? Cheers Terry

    Hi Trish, Thanks for your help. I tried what you said and it worked but if I then reload the program without pressing ctrl-alt-shift (so it now reads in the new Prefs file which it produced when it closed down) it's doesn't work again. I downloaded a trial of Elements 7 and that work OK and if I click on the Elements 5 prefs.psp Elements 7 loads and works OK as well. So I'm flommaxed as to what is happening. I reckon some update of Windows has broken it. Looks like I'll have to upgrade. Cheers Terry

  • Can't get drop down menu to drop down

    I am still learning this process and I could use some help. I
    know alot of people prefer not to use the spry menu bar in
    dreamweaver cs3, but I have already built them using it and I need
    some help. What is happening is you can see the down arrow in the
    menu and the drop down is in my dreamweaver, so I know I created
    them, but when you click on the arrow nothing drops down. The main
    part is set to menubaritemsubmenu and then the drop down section is
    set to menubarhorizontal and all are set to visible. There has to
    be something I am missing in there and I could use some help.
    Thanks,

  • Display question - can't see drop-down menus

    I'm new to itunes and I somehow have screwed up how the drop down menus display. For example, when I click on File, I can't see the menu (there is a vague outline). If I move down the menu, I can only see what my courser is on, not all of the options on the menu. It's bizarre and it's very difficult to work with. It is only on itunes, all other applications are fine.

    Normal click inside the tool icon and hold the button down for one second while not moving the cursor.

  • Can't access drop down menus

    I have CS4 and recently installed Camera Raw 5.2 but the drop down menus for the TAT and Crop tool don't function. I have tried right clicking, shift clicking, control clicking, etc. and nothing works. I tried redownloading Camera Raw 5.2 again, but no improvement. Any suggestions?
    I have an Intel iMac, 2.16 GHz, OS X 10.4.11, 3 GB RAM, lots of hard drive space.
    Thanks,

  • How can we use Drop Down Field in RTF Template

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement i.e in the RTF template we have the fields like supplier name,invoice number,invoice amount..etc.And we have a field Total that gives the sum of invoice amount.
    Our Requirement is we have to take "Total" field as a Drop down field.When we click on Total field it has to display the invoice numbers and invoice amount based on that Total.
    Could any one please provide us any solution.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Dhana

    You want to create an Interactive report - where the parameters are not part of the report, but part of the template?
    What is the expected output format PDF, HTML, RTF?
    I don't understand how total coudl be a drop down field? Why does total not directly contain the number?
    Do you want to generate a form that alllows the user to enter data fields and then recalculate the total
    based on the user input? So you want to create a form, not a report?

  • Can't get drop down menu for uploading to YouTube (Pre8)

    I will try that next time I run Pre8.
    Thanks for all you do....Dave

  • Can you make drop down menus and can you make hyperlinks to parts of a page

    I was just wondering if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb and if it is possible to make hyperlinks on the same page to another part of the page because the page is very long.

    if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb
    No. You have to make them yourself. Search this forum :
