How do I turn on autofill/autocomplete in Pages 5.0?

I find the autofill/autocomplete feature in the tables very useful for when I'm filling out my forms for work. But ever since I updated to Pages 5.0 I can't seem to get the autofill to work in my tables any more. I don't want to simply copy and paste as the data is different from row to row, sometimes it is dates, other times it is text. It used to save me a lot of time when I'd be updating the information and now I have to type every single one by hand.
I searched around and the only option was from Pages '08 > Preferences > General > Tables > Check-box for "Show auto-completion list" but all I can see under Preferences is General and Rulers. No options for selecting tables or autocomplete.
If anyone can help that would be great!
Thanks

Hi Peter
Where in the System Preferences > Keyboard > Text does it give the option for auto-complete?
All I can see is this:
This is fine for when writing normally, but the issue I'm having is not being able to autocomplete in table cells when using Pages 5.0

How can I turn off the autocomplete/autofill function in Mail?

How can I turn off the autocomplete / autofill function in Mail (Mail 7.2)? I know how to remove email addresses from the 'Previous recipient' list, but I simply want to deactivate the autocomplete function for email addresses entirely.
You used to be able to do this via Mail - Preferences - Composing, but I upgraded to Mavericks today, and the option to deactivate the autocomplete funtion for email addresses is no longer there.
Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Tine

This is rather surprising.
What you are describing is a feature called "word completion", provided by the Cocoa text engine, and hence used by apps which rely on it, including iWork, TextEdit, and others. When you are typing, or the insertion point is in a suitable position, pressing ⎋, or ⌥⎋, or F5 brings up the word completion list. Of course, it only works if there are suitable words in the list. For instance, if you type "Schad", intending to write "Schadenfreude", you can press ⎋ as much as you wish and nothing will come up. But type "Zeit" and then ⎋, and you'll get "Zeitgeist" sure enough.
What is surprising is that you describe it as if you had just came across it, whereas it has been available for years (although I believe that originally it was activated only by ⌥⎋). iWork (including Keynote) is a little different, because, in addition to ⎋, ⌥⎋, and F5, word completion is also activated by ⌘⎋.
I don't know how to turn off this feature, if indeed it can be turned off.
Usually Escape would make me exit the text box
Is there any chance you mis-remember? The Keynote shortcut for exiting text editing and selecting the text box is ⌘↩ (command-return).

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
but got a 404 error...
I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....

You should still disable this setting:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
What is the value of the accessibility.blockautorefresh pref on the about:config page?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
If you have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How do I turn off text box in pages?

how do I turn off text box in pages?

Thank you Peter and Jerry.
Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me. Does anyone know how to do this?
Best, Angela

How do I turn on autofill on my iTunes

On my destop, I have the autofill option. But on my new laptop, the autofill doesn't appear. How do you turn it on?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are two primary places where password information may be stored: your browser, and your Keychain.
If you do not want to erase everything, you can remove Autofill information for selected websites from Safari, Preferences, Autofill.
If you want to remove everything:
Safari, Reset Safari, and selecting everything.
Note that this 'erases' the data, but it could still be recovered by a determined thief.
(If you're not using Safari, you need to do a similar procedure in any internet browser you use.)
Next, open the Keychain Access app, Preferences, General, Reset My Default Keychain:
Note that your current default keychain is 'moved aside', not erased.
For better security, it should be moved to the trash, and use Secure Empty trash.
Again, keychain info is now erased, but that does not 100% guarantee that no one could ever retrieve the information.
If you're truly worried about "security" of your personal data?
Remove your existing hard drive and destroy it. Install a brand new hard drive, install OS X from scratch without ever copying or restoring and existing information from backup or the old drive, then reinstall apps. It would be a 'fresh install' with no possibility of retrieving any previously saved information.

How do I turn off autofill ios 8 safari?

i Don't want ios 8 safari to autofill from my bookmarks in the address bar. I've turned off autofill in the setting and it still does it.

If you are referring to the autofill feature in Safari then from the Safari menu: Safari>Preferences>Autofill.

How do i turn off cc? settings page shows it is off, but it shows up on abc, usa, and other playbacks. buttons for cc in each app do nothing

How do I turn off cc? I'm not hearing-impaired and did not turn it on. Settings page shows it is not turned on, but when watching ABC, USA etc., its there and the buttons within each app to remove it do nothing.

Yes, the captions themselves. Last evening I pulled up an ABC program from the ABC app (not ABC.com), and captions were on. I went to settings page and again turned on then off the captioning option. When I went back to my program, captions were still on but the cc button actually brought up dialog to turn them off. Some possible difference between iPad interpretation of cc data and that of the app for the broadcaster? Was never able to get rid of it Sunday on a USA replay.

How can I turn off the autocomplete (the one summoned by Esc key)?

Dear All, please help!
Somehow Escape button started bringing me an autocomplete list in Keynote which is monstrously inconvenient.
I am NOT using tables, I am working with a mere text box. Usually Escape would make me exit the text box, now it offers to insert all the words the Dictionary knows.
It doesn't work this way for Pages, but in the TextEdit it's all the same.
Thank you!
Vasily.

How do you turn on Autofill on the new itunes? Because it's not located at the bottom of the screen.

I was trying to auto fill some music to my sisters Iphone4 and when I went to click the Auto Fill button that normally on the bottom of the page. Nothing was there how do I enable this so that I can add some music to her phone in the future. Thank

You are very welcome. I agree, there are some very un-Apple like changes to the user interface in iOS 7.
The iOS 7 manual may help.
