How do I turn off Contact Shortcuts in IOS 8?

When I double tap the home button, I see a list of recent calls I have made as well as contacts in my favorite list. I dislike this feature and want to turn it off. I often use my phone where others can see and for privacy reason I do not want this list appearing. How do I turn this off?

The following will turn it off:
Set Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts - Show in App Switcher to Off

How do I turn off email alerts in iOS 7?

How do I turn off email alerts in iOS 7? I've been to Notifications, Mail/Contacts/Calendars & Sounds. Turned everything off but the kitchen sink...powered down and back up...persistent email sound goes off everytime mail arrives (junk or good). Thanks. Started happening after upgrading my wife's iPhone 5. I had no problems with upgrade on my own iPhone 5 (imagine that LOL).

further clarified, yes I move Mail App to DO NOT INCLUDE and the mail icon now appears in that list. Mail is set to Vibrate Only...thanks for trying

Did you ever figure out which output worked the best? I have the same original footage; trying to determine the best output settings to make a dvd for tv.
thanks!

how do you turn off genius for apps ios 6 pleasssss help my appstore keeps on crashing

What you are saying is true but it will not always work. The aap store is dead. Wen I go to the fret urged page I see a white screen. I should be able to scroll down to the bottom and select View Apple ID but can't. This is on my wife's iPad and she thought after she upgraded to iOS 6.0 when it prompted her to turn on Genius that's what caused the trouble and she wanted to turn off Genius. NO CAN DO in App Store.
To turn off Genius I had to go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID xxxxx then click view Apple ID then I can turn Genius off and on.
But the did not fix the problem with the App Store which is still dead.

How do I turn off a shortcut that says "Open in Internet Explorer" and default back to FF

I use FF as my default browser. A few shortcuts work better in IE so I select the option to "Open in Internet Explorer" and this works fine. Now I would like to undo one of these shortcuts and have it open in FF per the original. I tried to delete the shortcut but any new FF shortcut to that website automatically opens in IE.
How do I cancel that original transfer to IE so it will again open in FF?

Hi roblsmith, <br>
i am sorry for the previous post which was not well stated. Change the application in the Target field. It is on the left of the URL that you wish to open. You should have something like: <br>
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” http://url_you_want <br>
Hope that helped!

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
In response to the original problem:
I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
tell application "Contacts"
          set thePeople to selection
          repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                    set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                    if theDate is not missing value then
                              set the year of theDate to 1604
                              set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

In Safari 5.0.6 how do I turn off the auto save to contact list of addresses I send mail to?t

How do I turn off the auto saving to my contact list of every e-mail address I send a note to?

It might help knowing that Apple uses the term "Versions" instead of AutoSave. I have not yet found how to turn it off, but in the meantime, here's how to delete "Previous Versions":
Do one of the following:
If you have unsaved changes in a document, choose File > Revert To, and then click Previous Save.
Hold the pointer to the right of the document title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Browse All Versions from the pop-up menu.
Click a gray tick mark along the timeline on the right to display various versions of your document.
Do one of the following:
To restore your document to the state of a particular version, display that version, and then click Restore.
To delete the displayed older version, hold the pointer to the right of its title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Delete This Version. To delete all older versions, press the Option key while holding the pointer to the right of the older version’s title, click the arrow, and then choose Delete Old Versions.
To create a new untitled document that duplicates a particular version, display the version, press the Option key, and then click “Restore a Copy.”
To leave your document in its current state, click Done.

If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?

How can I turn off a specific keyboard shortcut?

We use a 3rd party vendor's platform to create/maintain content on our school website. When writing stories, I often use standard editing shortcuts (such as command-B for bold, command-I for italic, etc.). But when I hit command-B in the new FF 4.0 release, the bookmarks window opens - so I now need to use the pulldown menu to make this standard command. And it just slows me down.
Any idea how I can turn off this feature?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
No.
Please read my post, i'm asking how to turn off the specific shortcut in my original post, not assign actions to the mouse buttons (i know how to do that). I'm aware i can simply turn off the scroll wheel function altogether from the mouse preferences but i don't want to lose that function.
I want to know how to turn off the SHIFT + SCROLL WHEEL CLICK shortcut that switches the screen to the widget screen.

How can I turn off sharing contacts?

My fiance and I have 1 iTunes account. I updated both of our phones, ipad and Mac with the new update. Now we are sharing contacts, we don't mind sharing everything else, but we want our contacts to be separate. Everytime I turn off the contacts, it deletes the entire contact list including my own. If I delete his contacts from my phone, they are also deleting on his phone as well. Is there a way around this?
Alicia

Alicia,
Go into the settings>icloud on the iPhone and select to turn off contacts it will ask you if you want to keep or delete the contacts select keep then you can edit the contacts on the iPhone.
