How can I turn off auto saving mail contacts

When I begin to type an email, if I have sent one to someone with a similar address it comes up, despite the address not being one of my contacts. How do I stop this? For example, if I replied to a Craig's ad, and then go to send an email that starts with the same letter all those come up. I don't want them saved which is why they aren't in contacts.

Well if you wiped your devices - they will go away but that is a pretty drastic measure to take in order to remove those addresses. I don't know if they will come back if you restore from a backup - but obviously if you restore as new they will be gone. If you do restore - try the backup first - you can always restore as new later if it doesn't work.
Frankly - I just keep reading that the remembered addresses eventually go away - but like you - I have seen no evidence of that happening on my iPad - after 16 months of using it.
But - IMO - and it's only my opinion - wiping the devices is only a very short term fix because the mail app will start remembering addresses again. That's is just the way the mail app works - and you be right back where you started.

How can I turn off auto-correct in my iPad?

Is there a way to turn off auto-correct in my iPad? It makes unwanted changes, and distracts me from my writing. I was able to turn off auto-correct in Safari on my Macs, and that has made things much better.

Good stuff, King Peguin. Now life is good.

How can I turn off auto arrange?

I uploaded some photos to my computer from two different cameras and arranged them all so they would be in the correct order together. When I tried to then upload them to Facebook, I clicked "select photos" which brought up the photos for me to choose but they were arranged out of the order I had put them in. I clicked the view menu and saw that "Auto Arrange" was checked, so I unchecked it but it did not arrange the photos back to the way I had them. How can I make it to where they will show up in the order I put them in when I bring them up in Firefox to upload to a website?

"None" does not show up in my "arrange by." There are several sorting options available but no way to turn them off, nor to keep the icons from slamming to the right side of the screen. There must be some way to turn this auto arranging off. I don't want all my desktop icons on the right, and I don't necessarily want one of the few apple sorting options.
Does any one have a soltion? Please!

How can I turn off the New Mail alert on my iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch (version 6.1.3). The other day I was waiting for an important e-mail, so I turned on the New Mail alert. It worked fine. Now I want to turn it off, but I can't. I went into Settings and then to Sounds and changed the selection from the sound I'd selected ("Bell") to None. It says "None" but every time I get a new e-mail, it still makes the bell sound.
I also tried going into Notifications and then to New Mail Sound and setting it to "None" but that didn't change anything
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Try removing the mail totally from your notifications center.
I have everything turned off and the banner set to none.

How can I turn off auto-hide menu bar in Terminal app?

This is soooo anoying. Open terminal app in fullscreen mode, open a few tabs, now when you move your mouse to the top to click on a new tab, the menu bar shows itself and covers the tabs.
I want to turn off this feature to auto-hide the menu bar. I would much rather have it move all the tabs down a bit when the menu bar apprears.
Any ideas to help fix the issue?

Can't turn that off. It's a feature of full screen mode. If you place your mouse at the bottom of the tab you want to select, the Terminal Menu bar doesn't pop up for me.

How can I turn off auto Bcc to myself on iPhone 4s?

Every time I send an e-mail or reply to an e-mail using my corporate Exchange account on my iPhone 4s, it automatically sends a Bcc to my same Exchange account. This does not happen when I send from my PC desktop. Before you state the obvious, I have gone to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar and turned off the "Always Bcc Myself" option, but the issue still persists.
I also have a Yahoo account setup and GMail using the GMail app.

How can i turn off auto-update?

This auto update feature is driving me crazy. i recently downloaded songs from my cds onto my computer. I then put these songs onto my ipod shuffle and they all played fine. i do not want to keep all these songs on my computer, so i deleted them. but when i plugged my ipod back into my computer, it automatically deleted those songs b/c they were no longer on my computer. does anyone know how to turn this feature off (in itunes 5)? thanks!

Natty,
You don't have to use the
b Autofill
feature with your
i shuffle.
See its FAQ :
Autofill actually requires some action. You can manually click on Autofill each time you insert iPod shuffle, or you can use the "Keep this iPod in the source list" option to click Autofill any time and then connect iPod shuffle.
This lets you manually select what songs you want to add to the
i shuffle
, but that does
b not
allow you to add songs that aren't on your computer.
The
i shuffle
is the one member of the iPod family that doesn't give you the option to
i Manually manage songs and playlists.
For some more information, have a look at:

How can I turn off auto effects to my clips when adding them to my timeline?

Hi,
I'm using Premiere Elements 10. When I began my first project and added a clip to my timeline a dialogue box asked if I would like to automatically apply an effect (I can't remember which effect but it makes my clips semi-transparant). I accidently selected "yes" and now everytime I add a clip to my timeline, Premiere Elements 10 automatically applies this effect. I cannot find any option to turn this setting off.
Please help!
I have started brand new projects and this setting is still in effect.

Welcome to the forum.
Steve's instructions will Delete any added Effect. Note, however, that there ARE several Fixed Effects, that are part of your Clip: Opacity, Rotation, Motion>Scale and Motion>Position, and Volume, for any Clip with Audio. Those cannot be removed, as they are Fixed.
Good luck,
Hunt
