Can't disable Web Address Auto-complete in Safari nor Firefox

Hi there,
I am trying to disable the web address auto-complete in order to access my Intranet Server. I tried configuration inside Web Browser (firefox) but doesn't work. Seems to be system configuration since is the same with Safari. If I enter the address http://myserver:8080 always autocompletes to http://www.myserver.com:8080 and can't access the Intranet web server...
Thanks in advance for the help.

Mac OSX 10.6.2

Safari and Firefox, both have a configuration utility to solve this. In Firefox, writing about:config in the address bar and look for the features that contains the prefix www and the suffix .com, clear those two fields and that's it.
So, the problem was browser related, not system related.
Thanks

Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

How can i disable the address bar(nav bar) in FF portable ESR31

How can i disable the address bar(nav bar) in FF portable ESR31 so that it be run in a KIOSK mode and the users will be unable to get the addressbar or see the addressbar at all.

Yes you will need a config file however: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Enterprise_deployment]
and you will need the suggested hack mentioned in this question:[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939601 question/939601]

ITunes can't verify my address to complete a purchase. My iTunes account and the credit card account both have the correct info, What's up?

iTunes can't verify my address to complete a purchase. I went to my account (iTunes) and it has all the correct info. I re-entered everything in iTunes just to make sure and then did the same with credit card account. Still no good. Message "We couldn't verify your address. Make sure you've entered the correct blah blah blah" This account is 7 years old! what could the problem be?

Woooooow, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen... I searched my address and apparently they decided to add a "Rd" to the end of my street name... I've NEVER used that before for my address, but as soon as I typed it into my iPad, it FINALLY let me in. SOOOO silly! Just go to this USPS site and type in your addy. It will verify ALL of your entire address and make you ALL of that is typed into your Apple device, because they have become address Nazi's to make sure everything matches. http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp
Hope this helps everyone else! Thanks, Athena Carey!

Hi,
What’s your Exchange environment? Exchange 2010 co-existing with Exchange 2013? Can you share your related transport rule here for more analysis? What’s your custom email address format?
I created a custom address like Fax:Winnie@/FN=333 in my tab environment, it returned an error about “The address ‘Fax:Winnie@/FN=333’ is not a valid SMTP address”. Please update your Global Address List in Exchange server and if there is any error log,
please provide more information for further analysis.

How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
I use iCloud and everything was great for years. Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer - on the same iCloud.
Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email. I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
$ ls -lh
AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
CrashReporter
Mail
SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
$ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
$ rm AddressBook
$ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
Obviously, DrewSchatt's original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

How can I clear the stored auto-complete e-mail addresses in Thunderbird, without clearing everything?

In the auto-complete of e-mail addresses, old invalid addresses keep appearing in this list that are not in any address book (any more).
How can I delete one from the list, or perhaps all?
(Thunderbird v31, Dutch)

The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
This does not always work though.

How can i delete all the "auto complete" addresses on my iPad mail

I want to give my old iPad 1 to a relative . I'd like to leave all the apps for her but not all the "auto complete" contacts which appear when I use the Mail function. These names are not on "contacts" and seem to have been accumulated from mails I have sent/received over the years. is there a way to just delete these without doing a complete delete of everything on the iPad?

Yes, but it is very tedious. You will have to begin typing an email address in the To: field in order to bring up those suggested email addresses. Then you tap the blue "I" next to the email address. In the next window that appears, swipe down to Remove from Recents and tap that to delete the address. You would have to do this for every single email address that you have ever received an email from, that is not in your contacts app.
But what I am curious about is why wouldn't you remove your email accounts from the iPad? That will eliminate the problem altogether. You don't want to give the iPad to your relative that way, do you?

Weird address auto complete problem in 8.0.2 HP3

I just updated to 8.0.2 HP3 from HP2 last week. I do my address book sort by last name, first name. So when I type in a last name in a new email in WebAcccess, for example, one of my colleagues has the same last name as 3 other users in our Novell Address Book, I used to type,
Smith,
Then I would type the first letter of his first name after the comma and a space, now when I hit comma key, it immediately puts the last name only into the address space and starts a new address lookup. So the only way I can sort through all the "Smiths" is to type Smith and leave out the comma, then hit the arrow key up or down.
Is that functioning normally or is this a bug in HP3? In HP2, I could hit comma and continue typing first name and the auto complete would work correctly. Also, WebAccess agent and app is on SLES 11 SP1.

Any help would be appreciated, before I push hp3 to all 20,000+ users.

Mail 3.1 Address Auto Completion is Possessed!

Very strange glitch: Automatically complete addresses option is enabled, and sometimes when I try to add more than one address to the TO or CC field, entering the second name sets off a string of repeated characters that can only be stopped by deleting the entire line of addressing. For example, let's say I type in "Bill" and it auto fills the right addressee. Then I type in a second name, say "Jim" -- what comes up is "jjijimjim jim jim jim jim jim jim jim " Hitting DELETE makes "jim" appear; every key makes "jim" appear. Doesn't matter what name goes in second; it (not 'jim') is repeated.
I've tried turning off this option and restarting but it comes back as long as this is enabled. Mail works without this feature but I LIKE this feature! I can address multiple addresses from the address book function, just not using the auto complete.
Thoughts? Thanks for any suggestions.

I can only confirm that I have the same problem, both in Mail and Address book. It works in Entourage and it used to work in Tiger (at least in the last versions).
When using Address book I get the following console messages when I entered "boivie" as search string:

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Mail address auto complete???

On the 3G with OS 2.2 when you started an email address, say with the letter M, up would come the most used addresses that started with M.
Now with 3Gs and OS 3.0, when you start with M, up comes contacts I have never sent an email to at all.
Any idea what happened? is this a setting somewhere? a bug?
It certainly make emailing a LOT more difficult in the new OS
thanks for any tips....
tom

I am having a problem with auto-complete in email as well. With OS 2.2, if I typed "M", it would take a split second before names or email addresses in the "M" category would pop-up. Now, after the OS 3.0 upgrade, if I compose an email and type "M", it takes 4-5 seconds before the list of "M" contacts pops-up. This annoys the heck out of me!!! I feel like I stepped back in time.
I have three email accounts: One exchange, and two Yahoo accounts. Any suggestions welcome!!!

How do I display, copy, and paste a web address from an open Safari window please?

I'm new to Mac and Safari.
I'm used to being able to just cut and paste a web address from a page I'm on into a discussion, but I don't see an address bar to copy from.
I'm sure it is there somewhere, which toolbar or keyboard shortcut am I missing, please?
Gordon_M

Hello:
While Safari is open, go to the menu bar>view. Select "customize toolbar." You may use the default, or customize it to yoru liking.
Then when you wish to copy an address, you simply click on the favicon and go to edit>copy.

How can I use web-console and element inspector simultaneously in Firefox 20+ as I could in Firefox 19-?

Yes, new web-developer all-in-one tools are total mess.
I didn't find the answer to this question either https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955612 but downgrade to Firefox 19.
But nor in Nightly, nor in Aurora, nor in Firefox Beta, nor in Firefox 20.0 I can use simultaneously web-console (where I test some style changing javascript code) and element inspector (where I instantly observe a reaction to my code). The only option I see is to switch every three seconds between them. How can I fix this except downgrading?

You can consider to use the DOM Inspector extension instead of the built-in Inspector.
