How do I disable 'suggestions' in OS X?

I can't stand the new functionality in 'Calendar' where it attempts (miserably) at suggesting what my calendar event title or address should be. If you type in and hit enter, rather than it accepting what I typed it, it puts in the stupid annoying 'suggestion'. I desperately want this functionality disabled. Help!
Here is an example, where I've already entered the time as '11:00' to '12:00' and yet it wants to change it from 12:00 to 1:00.... WHY!?!?!?! grrrrrrr

How can I disable awesomebar search/keyword suggestions on FF 3.6?

I am on FF 3.6. I'm trying to find a way to disable the AwesomeBar search/keyword suggestions. I have gone through tools -> options -> privacy -> location bar. I have tried setting the location bar set to show only history, bookmarks, or even none, but it still shows keyword search suggestions. How can I disable this?
I have also tried from about:config, setting maxrichresults to 0. Again, that is not what I'm looking for. I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions.

I'm pretty sure the poster doesn't want to disable the keyword search functionality. What they want is for keyword searches to work, but just not be displayed (or at least not displayed as the automatic first option) on the list of location bar suggestions when typing a new URL.
In their words, "I want it to show history and bookmarks, but I do not want keyword search suggestions."
That was how keyword search bookmarks worked in FF3.5, if I recall, and I too would like that behavior back. I haven't found any way to train the awesomebar to not show me keyword search bookmarks.

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
The operation system is Windows XP.
They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash. You are left with no video signal to the monitor. Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
We have tried:
Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
There seems to be two ways to work round this issue. One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows. The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC? Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
Thanks in advance
Daniel.

Hi.
I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
Thanks.

How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
Thanks,
Ally

Thanks Carolyn,
I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
Cheers,
Ally

Note that you can also hide the tab bar completely with code in the userChrome.css file.
Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.

How do I disable Windows 8.1 Auto-lock

New Computer, Windows 8.1, 64-bit. How do I disable the Windows 8.1 Auto-Lock? I searched Forums, and the most popular answer was to go to User Accounts and Reset Security Policies. I went to Control Panel/User Accounts and there is NO
option to 'Reset Security Policies'. Now what? :(

Hi,
Did you have any custom GPOs for specific users/groups?
If you didn't modify your GPO,you cannot see this option(Reset Security Policies).
For this issue,I suggest you check your power plans setting first.
Also,please check Screen Saver's time and the following setting.

Audio autoplays when I finish a phone call. How do I disable that?

Audio autoplays when I finish a phone call. How do I disable that?

Hello BobWeaver,
It sounds like we need to troubleshoot the software on your device as that is not expected behavior.
I would perform steps 1, 3 and 5 from the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Cheers,
Sterling

How do I disable quicklookd

Dear all,
Could anyone please suggest a reason for the following behavior:
1. Open a text file on the Desktop up in bbedit
2. make a change
3. save
4. quicklookd begins consuming 3-4 GB of ram and 100% CPU.
Apparently, it is trying to create a preview for me of this text file, and whatever that entails requires 3 GB of ram. This is really bad for a variety of reasons.
How can I disable quicklookd completely? Should i remove all of the quick look plugins? or is there a less drastic way to do this?
Thanks!

How i can disable MONITORING temp tables

In the Oracle 10 g database stats are gathering using
Gtaher_stats_job
current setting is statictics _level =Typical
i need to disable the monotoring for temp tables
i try this command it will not change
ALTER TABLE "RDC"."INV_TEMP"
NOMONITORING
How i can disable this , i read some artikel this feature is disabled in oracle 10g
how i can disable
tks
rda

Justin Note
I would suggest that this is probably a bad idea, though. If there are no statistics on an object,
you're basically asking the CBO to work blind. Why not gather statistics after loading a fresh set of data
into the table?
I am running stats once a week , so i cannnot gather fresh set of dataNicolas
setting stats to a given value and lock them (to be not set to 0 by any gather stat process) may help as well.
Justin
Nicolas.
I cannot understand this >>to be not set to 0 by any gather stat processOk my process as follows
through sqlldr i load a data to temp table , i have a after insert trigger
once the data insert into temp table it check for some condition and
fire this trigger and insert into Permanent Table,
After the process finished the temp table truncated.
this whole process running every day .
I already mention stats are collected once a week , no point i keep the stats
for this temp table and suppose if i keep , it will give wong execution plan
and insert into this temp tabel will be slow -- am i right in this step
This is the reason i dont want stats at all in temp table
Thanks Justin & Nicolas
Best rds
