How do I disable auto complete in the Mail program?

I have to type e-mail in more than one language on my iPod Touch, and Mail's auto complete feature is causing me a lot of trouble. It's making ridiculous word suggestions and typing these words if I don't touch a teeny-tiny X in the auto complete tag. The X is so small that often as not my finger ends up confirming the suggestion, rather than deleting it.
For example, if I have to type the German word "kann" (which I very often have to, because it means "can"), the Mail program types in the name of the Indian language "Kannada", which I NEVER need.
One solution would be to switch the language settings before typing e-mails, but that takes too much time, and the iPod Touch doesn't have support for some of the languages I have to type.
How can I just disable that auto complete feature? I don't see it in the manual.

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction -> OFF.
But this is a global setting, not just for the Mail app.

How do I disable Autocomplete COMPLETELY without messing with other settings such as with the location bar? I still like to see websites there that I've been to, without typing it in every time, but just hate the autocomplete part.

Case: When I go to Tools - Options - Privacy then Location Bar options, there should be another option to where we can disable auto-complete from the Location Bar without messing with other settings. Example #1: I click "Nothing" and then I gotta type in the website I wanna go to every single time. Example #2: I click "History & Bookmarks" and then it auto-completes. Is there any other option just to disable Auto-Complete all together??

The windows of the Windows bar are already a form of tabs, so I don't need them in Firefox. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23?

RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
The Windows bar already functions as a tab bar. Those tabs are called "windows." So, I find Firefox tab windows superfluous. How can I disable them completely from Firefox 23? I don't need what is essentially TWO windows bars covering up the entire width of my widescreen monitor's image! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen and, if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position to the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK like the Firefox tab windows bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a superfluous SECOND WINDOWS BAR.
Here are my reasons for why I'd rather use Mozilla's Firefox, than Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Google's Chrome. I love and admire Firefox for Mozilla's intent on good security, for Firefox's Personas add-on, and for Firefox's free use of the Ad-Block add-on which, as you know, has the distinct virtue of reducing screen clutter--the last of which is my motive for wanting to get rid of the SUPERFLUOUS Firefox tabs "windows" bar. I am dreadfully sick of companies forcing miscellaneous bars (mostly representing marketing campaigns trying to sell me something) into my browser (and down my throat) every time I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I am deliberately referring to your Firefox tabs bar as a "Firefox tabs 'windows' bar," because TABS are WINDOWS!)

Let me clarify even more. The Firefox add-on you mention does not remove "tabs" windows. It only HIDES the "tabs" bar when there is only one "tab" in that window. It DOES NOT end "tabs." It does not turn "tabs" off.
I know this, because, even with the add-on you recommend, the "tabs" bar often re-appears when I open a link, which--for some unknown reason--Firefox defaults to opening in a second "tab" within the same window, rather than putting it in a new Windows bar window. This, of course, disregards what I want to happen.
I want to use my Windows bar to control my windows. I do not want my Firefox browser controlling my windows--which it calls "tabs." Can you tell me how to shut off "tabs?"

How do I add Auto Complete and how in the world do I get searches to open in a new page.

I just downloaded FireFox and need help with two things.
One how do I get auto complete in FireFox. The download has removed this feature in my Google toolbar.???
and two how do I get the searches set to open in a new window. I do not like tab browsing.
I went to tools and checked the box to open new windows in a new tab, but i don't see this happening. Maybe I am just assuming that this is the right setting to select.
I just want my searches to open in a new window, not in the same window or tab.
I have Firefox, Google, Bing and Norton search bars. I need all 4 in my business.
Before the download I was at least able to get Google, Bing and Norton to open in new windows but now they are not. Nothing from any of the search bars will open in a new window

Did you install the Google Toolbar for Firefox? It has its' own autofill setup, separate from the rudimentary "form fill" that Firefox has. It also has its' own Searchbar, with its' own settings..
If you are talking about having searches from the Firefox Search Bar open in a new Tab. ''There is no setting for opening a search in a new window.'' <br />
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
Filter = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click that preference to toggle it to '''''true''''', then restart Firefox

Disabling auto-complete on corp address book

Is there a way to disable auto-complete on corp address book on a per user basis?

LDAP attribute for a per-user option:
sunUCExtendedUserPrefs: corpDirAutoCompleteEnabled=true/false
Per-user preference (option), if present overrides the system-wide setting.So it does. Unfortunately there is no way for the end-user to change this setting via the default Convergence interface.
I've logged an RFE to have an option added however I still don't understand what the use-case is:
RFE #6948297 - "Provide client-side option to enable/disable corporate address autocomplete"

How to turn off auto-complete in Keynote (tables) ?

Has anybody found a way to turn off (disable) auto-complete for cells in a table in Keynote ?
Occasionally I would prefer to work without the blinky yittery typing experience it creates.
It's not a live or death thing, but having an option to turn auto-complete off would make working with Keynote more pleasant.

Stefan,
For reasons unknown to me and beyond my ability to guess, KN lacks control of that feature. You could build your table in either Pages or Numbers, where autocompletion can but disabled in the General Preference Pane, and paste it into KN.

How do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

how do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

I guess i don't remember that in photoshop elements 3, so could you explain a little more about what your asking?
What operating system are you using?
Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

I use firefox 3.6.6 on mac os 10.5.8. I want to disable auto complete for my gmail. How?

when i type something into the "subject" bar of my gmail, it auto-completes the form. this is a privacy issue for me. how do i disable this?

It is possible that there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data.
Rename or delete formhistory.sqlite (plus formhistory.sqlite-journal and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt and formhistory.dat, if they exist) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the file that stores the "Saved Form" data.
This will remove all saved form data, so you may want to rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to recover some saved data.

How to disable auto-complete in tables?

Neither in the Preferences, nor the "Edit"-menu, or even the "Table"-tab in the "Inspector" can I find a way to disable the auto-completion in tables [that automatically inserts the content from other table cells when I start typing].
The auto-completion is driving me nuts: I want to write the new cell content, and "tab" to the next cell, but I can't, because the auto-completion leaves something else than what I wrote in the cell when I tab out of it.
So how do I get rid of this mis-feature?

Hi,
Recently I needed to use this feature, and after some research I found the answer.
Just sharing the solution.
I am aware that the auto-complete is a browser setting. But is there a way to let APEX not save the items entered before? Write a javascript?
Because I have implemented Google suggest for a text field. Every time the suggestions pop up, the auto-complete items will also appear at the same time, which is very annoying.Put on your Page Item > Element > HTML Form Element Attributes : autocomplete="off"

Disabling auto-complete in a single column or cell

Dear All, I find the auto-complete feature in Numbers to be both time-saving but also dangerously stupid. Why should the default option be that when only one auto-complete entry is available, continuing to type your entry and pressing the return key automatically selects that entry? I would like to be able to turn off the auto-complete for a single column, but not for the rest, in which it works very well. So far I have not found any way to do this. It seems logical enough; we ought to be able to control which columns offer the auto-complete function and which don't.

It would be fine if a modifier key was able to disable the feature 'locally'.
Perhaps Control-Return would work
Control-Return is not a modifier key, it is an entry.
I was thinking to the ability to press a modifier key when entering the first character in the cell. Pressing this key would tell to the entry parser: don't use the auto-completion.
For my own use, I apply a drastic formula: the auto-completion feature is disabled.
You are satisfied with the delete feature.
I may understand that but the OP is not.
So I try to imagine a possible enhancement.
What I describe may help.
For me it changes nothing.
For you, it let you use the delete key.
For the OP it would give him a neat answer.

How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer) at startup?

I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items. The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup. I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup. Any insight would be appreciated.

Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
Uncheck it.

How do I stop auto-complete of URl's?

When I type a URL I get at autcomplete of suggested URL's I have typed in the past and a drop down list of URL's I have typed in the past. How to I turn this off or at least clear it? I have already tried clearing my history and auto complete and I am still getting that.

The only way I know how to clear it is not a good way. It would be *Reset Safari* which to me would be overkill. He would be better off not leaving any evidence to have to clear. Tell your friend to go to Safari in the menu bar. Now click *Private Browsing*. That will allow him to surf to his hearts content and nothing is saved to the autofill or other incriminating places:->
This is what it says when you get ready to activate it.
+When private browsing is turned on, webpages are not added to the history, items are automatically removed from the Downloads window, information isn't saved for AutoFill (including names and passwords), and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search box. Until you close the window, you can still click the Back and Forward buttons to return to webpages you have opened.+

How do I disable auto select for the path selection tool?

For the move tool you can choose to disable auto selection, auto select a group, or auto select a layer. By default though the path selection tool autoselects a layer. How can I disable autoselection?

I can’t seem to reproduce what you describe.
Please elaborate, possibly with the help of some screenshots.
