How do i reset the suggestions on my toolbar?

Hi
I have a Macbook. We have the standard safari nothing has been upgraded for the past while. This computer is also a couple years old and I want to be able to type in my toolbar where you type in the address to get to a new site without having to deal with the suggestions. Is their a way i can delete all of the suggestions all at one time or if i even could block them forever. When i type in "f" where i type in  for an address "facebook.com" comes up as a suggestion and it does this for almost every letter. I want to be able to type in "f" and just have the letter f show up. If you could respond and help me as soon as possible that would be just great.
Thank you very much,
Brett

Hi Brett
those are from history and bookmarks - if you remove both, the suggestions should stop.
If you're selling the mac, consider creating a new admin user account, then deleting the old one... or some people prefer to reinstall the OS, which it sounds as if your buyer would prefer.
If you do stick with the current account, you can remove all history & cookies etc via Safari menu-Reset Safari. Bookmarks can be dealt with by trashing Home/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist with Safari quit; a new default set will be created when it next starts up.

  • How can I reset the screen colors/resolution on an old white macbook?

    My screen shows neon colors and a zigzag shapes.  How can I reset the color resolution?  This laptop was supposedly fixed but when returned all my data had been "lost".  The certified mac tech said he reinstalled the OS but lost all my desktop files and HD and couldn't recover.  ODDLY, when I started the machine and started fresh, my old hard drive was still there!  Although he'd wiped out my current desktop files- gone.  But, the  screen colors went wonky all of the sudden and I don't know how to resert or correct the resolution.  Can any one share a suggestion?

    With that kind of issue after returning from a repair where a tech was inside the computer, it should be returned to the same place for an evaluation of the problem, a diagnosis, and perhaps they need to check their work to see if something came loose while they had it apart.
    The System Preferences> Displays has a panel to select settings.
    You may have to try & see about a reset of System Management Controller http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Or, if reset of NVRAM  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 may help. Not sure if these would do anything if there is hardware damage.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I reset the clock on a G4 that has a spinning wait cursor?

    How do I reset the clock on a G4 that has a spinning wait cursor? Not sure of the OS, other than 10 something. This computer was initially set up to boot in either system 9 or 10, with 10 being the default. I just need it to run enough to get some old graphics files off if it. With the spinning cursor, I can't go into preferences to reset the clock. Suggestions?

    If the machine can boot to either OS 9 or OS X, and each of those is installed on a separate volume (partition), then restart or boot the machine and immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. After a few moments (maybe up to a minute), Startup Manager will open - a bright blue screen with some icons on it. Click the icon representing the OS 9 install, then click the straight arrow on the right.
    The machine should then boot into OS 9, and you may then be able to grab the files you need.
    Note - if OS 9 and OS X are on the same volume, this won't work.

  • How do I reset the e-printer's web embedded server network password?

    I have an HP Photosmart 7520 e-all in one. I use Windows 7.  I could tried to set a password in the EWS network tab. I could not change the user name so it remains "admin". I set the passwork and it seemed ok. But when I tried to log on again, it would not let me in. How do I reset the network password?

    I recommend that you run "Restore Network Defaults" from the front panel and then run the wireless setup wizard again.  This will wipe out all your network settings.

  • Can't Open File Explorer -- How can I reset the Quick Access Toolbar from outside of File Explorer?

    First of all, this is not a virus. This is my a bug within windows explorer itself.
    So, I added the properties button to the QAT, and it displayed it as an expandable menu, like this: ";" but with small arrows like this: ">". didn't want this, I wanted to click on it and immediately display the properties of the file
    to me. So, I hovered over it, right-clicked on "Properties" in this menu and added it to the QAT. Of course, this crashes File Explorer. Now whenever I try and open it, it crashes, so I have to assume that the corrupted button has been saved.
    So, my question is: How do I reset the QAT from OUTSIDE of file explorer? Regedit magic? Any ideas?
    Thanks for stopping by,
    Trolleyman.
    Edit: Just so you know, I can navigate through my systems files using the 7-zip file manager. Phew.

    Thanks from me  too, Niki. This first happened with Windows 8.0 File Manager a week ago,, and despite much research I couldn't  discover the cause so eventually I resorted to restoring  the system drive from backup (luckily I make daily backups, 
    so didn't lose   much  work).
    Without  knowing the cause  a  few days later I again tried to alter  the Quick Access  Toolbar  and the problem reappeared.  Should  I again resort to restoring the entire system drive, the thought horrified me. But
    luckily while doing a bit more research prior to resorting to the same drastic recovery, I cane  across this post  of yours and it worked!
    It doesn't  seem  to be  happening with Office 2007's   or  Wordpad's  Quick Access Toolbar,  so presumably it's a File Explorer bug  (a.k.a. Windows Explorer in Windows 7, of course). Have Microsoft recorded this as
    a  bug -- if not,  why not  -- and when  are they coming up with a fix?

  • ICloud accidentally set-up with erroneous email acct. How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop...

    Hi Apple friends! Here's my frustrating situation. When I got the new computer (2012 Macbook Pro), I tried to set up iCloud but accidentally input an erroneous email acct. I cannot access iClod because the email was accidentally input as "[email protected]", not "[email protected]". How do I reset the email originally used to start the Apple ID? I'm stuck in a loop, and not only cannot use iCloud, but I keep getting messages popping up to register my iCloud with a non-existent email...
    Help?
    Sincerely,

    Have you tried to go into System Preferences > iCloud and entering the correct information there? You will first have to "sign out" of the wrong account and then log in with the correct information.
    If that does not work you should direct follow up to the iCloud for Mac forum.

    Hello Joe
    You will find your answer on this page. In summary you have to deauthorize each of the 2 Macs on the Mac thenself. If it's no longer possible, then you have to deauthorize all five Macs and then reauthorize each 3 remaining

    If when you go to icloud.com and sign in with your current iCloud ID you see all your iCloud data there, you can safely sign out of the iCloud account on your Mac and choose Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the current ID.  This only deletes the data from your Mac, not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in after a brief delay as it redownloads.  If you have automatically imported your photo stream photos to your iPhoto library you won't lose them either (if you haven't, save them to your library first).
    Again, only do this if when you go to icloud.com with your current ID you see your iCloud data there.

  • How do I reset the included calendar on iphone 4s.

    How do I reset the included calendar on iphone 4s.  It currently shows the date as Jan 1, 2513BE, and since it is an "included app" do not know how to delete it and reinstall.

    You can't delete it. If you really don't want to see it, stick it in a folder and then stick the folder on a distant home screen.
    But you might find it easier to just set the clock (date and time) on your iPhone.
