How do I stop Calendar from making up things....?

Hello.
This is the situation. I try to write posts in my Calendar (OS X 10.10), but when I enter a place, Calendar automatically changes that to what's in its mind – which is NOT what I intended.
For example: I enter the number of a conference room and initials for the one responsible:
C 105 (JAL)
But Calendar changes that to:
105 C St
Jal NM 88252
United States of America
... and adds a map in the post with a needle and coordinates.
It does not help if I make a new post, or if I try to get around it by writing "C 105 J.A.L", or just "C105" or anything similar. The program persists in changing.
I can't find any solution in the preferences either.
What to do?

Seems you are right! Thank you!
And it seems I also have to close the post without entering anything else (time, repeats etc).After that I can open it again and continue...

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

How can I stop Calendar from formatting the location of an event?

When I enter the event's location (e.g. Concert Hall, 123 Main Street) Calendar breaks it up into multiple fields and sorts them alphabetically (e.g. "123 Main Street" and"Concert Hall"). It also tags each field with "!", meaning presumably that the location was not found in a directory or contact list. I'd like to stop Calendar from doing _anything_ "smart' to the location info and just display it exactly as I enter it. Any ideas on whether this is possible? Thanks much!

The site file is a database that keeps track of all your assets (and much more), including the scriptLib file. As soon as the page is saved (when you use the site file and it's open) the link will be change to the correct path that will work on the server.
If you're not using the site file you might as well use a text editor, since most of GL functionality is gone.

How do I stop calendar from coming on automatically and overiding gmail so that I cannot access it. I can use windows explorer and this does not happen.

After disabling the addon the problem is gone.
Hope it works to you guys.

How Do I stop Calendar from Updating a Subscribed Calendar?

I have a calendar that I do not want updated. I am subscribed to it, have it stored in iCloud, and have set auto-refresh to 'No'. However it continues to update itself at least once a day. How do I stop that? And what, exactly, does the auto-refresh do?

Settings > Mail Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down to Calendars and this sets default alert times.

Either turn off default alert time or set the default alert time to when you want you want & don't add alert to the event when you create it

How do I stop calendar from emailing alerts?

For every calendar event I receive an email & an alert. How do I keep the alert, but stop the email? I have a hotmail email address.

How do I stop calendar from emailing alerts to me.

This was never an issue on ios 7, but as soon as I upgraded to ios 8 I started getting a ton of new emails alerting me to upcoming events.
I use Google calendar, and I have Google email me alerts for certain events, and I still want those. But I do not want the ones coming from Apple Looking at Google calendar. I am not sure if these new emails are coming from my phone or my Yosemite imac.
Thoughts?

i am getting getting three emails from each event. One from Google, and two from Apple devices. I suspect I am getting one email from my iPhone and one from my imac. It happened just now, and the instant my iPhone popped up an alert, I received one of the Non Google emails. About thirty seconds after that I received a second Apple email.
By Apple email, btw, I mean an email I believe was generated by an Apple device. All the emails actually come from my gmail address.

How do I stop Firefox from making suggestions when typing?

A drop down window always appears when I'm typing in a website suggesting an entry. This even happens when I'm entering a password or answering a security question. NOT GOOD!
I've looked all over the tools to stop this and can find nothing. Can you help?

You can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

How do I stop calendar from setting a second alert one day before?

I have iOS 7.0.6 with calendar synced to my gmail account with CalDAV. When I create a new event in the calendar on my iphone, I set either a single alert or none. When I check back a few seconds later, the alert I set has become the "second alert," and the first alert is set to "one day before." Google calendar correctly shows a single alert, the one I set. If I then delete the first alert, it stays deleted. But then if I edit the even in google calendar, the "one day before" alert reappears on the iPhone. (Though still not on Google calendar.)
It's driving me batty with all of these false alarms that are actually for tomorrow's activities. Is there a way to set alarms in iOS 7, or is that just a sacrifice we have to put up with to fix the iOS SSL bug? Should I set the current date in my iPhone to be one day late?

How do I stop Calendar from creating its own alerts?

This is weird. I Am not using Icloud, nor synching with any other calendar (as far as I know). But I create an event, put in one alert, and a few days later, it has three or more random alerts (even some well after the event). AND it will email me more alerts that it doesn't even show! For example; A calendar event entered last week of a visit today, set to remind me by email at 9:00 AM this morning, has now emailed me 5 times, both before and after the stated one. And the even itself now shows two reminders. What is going on? Thanks!

How do I stop Quicktime from making itself the default media view every time I upgrade that program?

Every time. And there's no obvious way to avoid it.

You may be able to disable file and MIME type, but they're grayed-out on my version of Quick Time. Also, the article http://kb.mozillazine/quicktime concerns installation. It does not mention how to change the default settings

How can I stop Firefox from making files read only?

Firefox (and not IE or Google Chrome) makes certain files (Movie Magic Screenwriter files, for example) read only. Is there a way to prevent that?

Let's attempt to fond out what you have installed that added that "noise" to Firefox.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

How can I stop Firefox from making itself the default browser every time it upgrades?

Every time there's a new version of firefox, it updates automatically, but it changes the windows file type settings so that firefox is now the default browser.
I have gone to tools > options > advanced and cleared the "Always check to see if firefox is the default browser" checkbox. It's not an issue on startup, only on upgrade.
This happens every time there's a new version of firefox.

Unfortunately the "web browser" I want to use is just a compiled script that examines the URL and then launches the proper browser to open it (because some pages are not standards compliant and work better in a certain browser). It does not appear in the default web browser list, but when I go to Tools > Folder Options > File Types, I can edit the firefox URL, URL http and URL https types and then it will work correctly until the next firefox upgrade.

How to stop mkinitcpio from making a fallback image [solved]

I have never needed to boot to my fallback kernel image so I am wondering how to stop mkinitcpio from making one.

I have never needed my car's airbags, but that doesn't mean I want to remove them.
If you are determined, you could take a look at /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset.
(edit) You could probably have figured this out for yourself. I just looked it up in the wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … figuration
