How do I stop search bar from remembering searches?

You can disable saving form data if you do not want to save search terms entered in the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
Note that the search bars on the about:home and about:newtab pages use autocomplete=off and thus do not save this data.

How to stop address bar from remembering my previous entries?

for example, if I just enter "d" into my address bar, the address "dailymotion.com" will show up unless I type another letter afterwards that is not "a", such as "e". I used to visit dailymotion.com, but I just cleared all my history. dailymotion.com doesn't show up when I enter it in my "search history", yet this suggestion keeps showing up. How do I get it to stop?

Do you have that site bookmarked, and did you set the location bar to suggest bookmarks as well as history? Does that line have a star at the end of it?

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud. I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more. My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches. This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4. How do I fix this?
Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all. I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file. Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
Problem #3: When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information. How do I stop this? Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
Problem #4: When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page. Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns. Is there a way to format the output? I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
Problem #5: Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work. (I have had this computer since May 2011). No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory. To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually. Is there a fix to this?
Problem #6: Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate. How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
Problem #7: Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

'''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
# Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
# Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
# Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
# Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
# Click on the Save button.
Hopefully, problem solved!

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

How do you stop 1.4 from importing??

I recently installed LR2.3 on a machine with LR1.4. I thought it would install over but it appears to have installed a completely seperate copy.
The problem: when I put a card in my reader, the Windows dialog box pops up for 'what do you want to do with this?'.
If I select the LR2.3 icon, it pulls up LR1.4 instead!! The icon definitely says 2.3.
How do I stop 1.4 from importing and letting 2.3 do it?
Right now I have to:
Insert card
Wait for 1.4 to come up
shut down 1.4
Bring up 2.3
Import
thoughts?

I haven't had LR 1.4 installed over a year so I don't quite remember how it worked, but if it uses ADPProxy then you might find relief with the steps shown in this post:

- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)

- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

Once or twice a week a box will pop up about updating plugins, then a completely different Firefox browser than I use pops up, there are no bookmarks in this browser, I close it, open my regular Firefox browser and all my bookmarks are gone.

What does the update window look like? This is the official plugin update site:

How do I stop my iPad from blanking out returning to main screen?

How do I stop my iPad from going out and retiring to the main screen?

I just posted this same thing in another thread. Try the first tip and then try the reset. If that doesn't work, then close all apps - the last tip. If none of these work for you, a restore of your device may be in order. Hopefully one of these will work.
Try downloading another app - any free app will do. That seems to reset something and it may work for you. If not, try all of the steps below.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Thanks for trying those steps out!
Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!

How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?

I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
Thanks.
-JD.

Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question
