Ohhh no. Please help me turn off inbox searching?

I just "upgraded" to Yosemite and I'm dumbfounded by the new form of searching that includes searching your inbox! Including a search of my inbox when I'm looking for a file not only drastically slows down the computer's speed, but it's also a complete waste of time. I would never use Finder to look for something related to an email I was sent (I'd use email, duh).
Please tell me that there's a way to turn this off so that Finder is only searching for files, not scanning my inbox. I have thousands of emails that have been exchanged back and forth over the years related to some of the files I've created, and would never want those turning up every time I do a basic file search!

*bows to you*
Thank you so much. My computer that was functional and fast pre-Yosemite was moving at a snail's paste just to do a simple file search!

  • Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my  General settings  why is this ?

    Can a one please help me turn off auto play for Facebook the option is no longer in my  General settings  why is this ?

    And yet the link you posted only tells you how to do it on the Facebook App for Android. Nothing about the Facebook page is mentioned at all, or how to do it on an iPhone.
    With that said, and assuming you have the most up to date version of the Facebook App, you can now turn the auto play feature Off within the Facebook App itself.  Tap on the "More" icon on the bottom right, then scroll down to Settings->Videos and Photos->Auto Play. If Smart auto-Play is on turn it off. Then you can set the check mark on "Never Play Videos Automatically" which is the same as Off.

  • Please help - computer turns off randomly

    I purchased my computer in the US in september - right before I moved to London. Mid november it died. The computer would turn on and chime, but the screen was dead. I took it to a 3rd party repair (which apple phone tech support insisted was just as good as the apple store) and they replaced the logic board. It all seemed fine until I took it home and used ichat video with my family - the computer turned off. It didn't shut down, just seemed to pause and go dead. I could reboot it and it had no recollection of incorrect shutdown with the exception of firefox. (I dont know if this is important, but every time it does this and i reboot, the sound resets to mute) I started to notice that the computer does this any time I use video functions for an extended period of time (or at least 20 minutes). I have brought it to the apple store twice, where they have repaired it twice. I have gone through at least one more logic board, a heat sink, something to do with the power adapter, as well as the battery. They cannot find anything wrong - 3 repairs later its still shutting down so I went to apple again. Unwilling to give up my computer YET again, they recommended I archive and install. I have now done that - now my computer is crawling - still crashing - and some programs decide to open up occasionally or start and stop without a crash notice. I tried to run disk utility and it froze. On top of this all, they recommended I download xslimmer to convert old power pc programs to the current intel format I'm running on my new macbook - this seems to have complicated things more. I asked them to replace the computer during my last genius bar visit, i was told that because my computer was purchased in the states they cannot replace it, and I will not be heading back to the states soon enough to have it replaced there. So anyone with any insight, please help! I bought a new computer so i wouldn't have to deal with these problems and its turning out to be more of a headache than my old powerbook g4.

    I also forgot to mention that every 45-60 seconds there are two faint tick sounds coming from inside the computer.

  • Please help, computer turns off on its own!

    New generation aluminum iMac turns off when it wants. It has happened 3 times now when I am using the computer it will just shut off.
    I do not turn the computer off, as I never have with macs, but always put it to sleep when I am not using it.
    After it turns off, I am able to turn it right back on using the power button and all seems to be normal.
    Any ideas for me!? Please!

    I'm glad someone else is having this problem. Mine has shut down 3 times as well. Each time I'm doing something different - so I doubt it's related to programs that are running, etc . . .
    Today I called AppleCare - they had me reset the SMC and PRAM as well as a couple other software things.
    It hasn't happened again - yet - but it has only happened about once every 2-3 days.
    I'll keep following for other good ideas!

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • Please let us turn off shake to undo "feature"

    Dear Apple,
    Please let us have the ability to turn off shake to undo feature on the iPhone. It is a cute feature that never gets implemented when I intend Rather, it is more of a hindrance to have to tap to get past the "Nothing to Undo" or "Undo Typing?" dialog.
    Apparently, I am to shaky to type, but have enough motor control to play games and use other motion-controlled apps just fine.
    Again, please let us turn off Shake to Undo on the iPhone.
    Thanks

    this is a VERY annoying part of my phone (outside of the dropped calls). it happens to me about 10 times per day. i am typing a sms, and go to put my phone down, and the 'nothing to undo' comes up!!! very annoying and i dont know why there isnt a disable for this in the setting.
    this is elememtary and they should fix it. and for those it doesnt happen to...
    feel grateful that you have more grace than me and the tons of other people online complaining about this.

  • How do you turn off bookmark search results in Safari on iOS 7?

    My children use my ipad to surf the web I have some rather mature medical centric bookmarks that they should not have access to.  I am a bookmark junkie as well so no matter what they search for the field populates with these :( I have to use a different browser for the time being because of this. 
    Smart Search Field is off, no cookies allowed, spotlight search is inactive, & history cleared.  Even switched the search providers within safari to no avail.  It seems baked into Safari utilizing Smart Search in iOS 7.  Unfortunately Safari would be unusable to my whole family if this is the case, but Safari is by far the best browser...right?
    Turning search suggestions off altogether would be ideal
    Please help.

    Check Settings > Safari > Smart Search Field and Settings >Safari > Do Not Track.

  • Cannot turn off predicted searches

    I cannot turn off predicted searches in FF and every time i fire up FF it goes to the search preferences page and i have to save my setting before i can get to the home page, this happens EVERY time. I have done all the cookie stuff, cleared them enabled them, disabled them and re-enabled them, tried every setting i can think of but it always does the same thing and i have to go through the save settings procedure
    Thank god for Chrome

    It could be that Google search is your homepage. You can try to change/delete the unwanted homepages in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''General''', beside '''Home Page:''' and add a new one. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20General%20panel?as=u Options > General.] If the homepage was added by an extension and is being reset to Google search, you may have to find the add-on in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-on''', '''Extensions''' (on the left) and either change the settings or '''Disable''' / '''Remove''' the extension.
    If Firefox is stuck in a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Session-Restore?s=restore+session&r=0&e=sph&as=s session restore] , you can try to delete the session: type '''about:sessionrestore''' in the location (address) bar, hit enter, click '''Start New Session''' , restart Firefox again and check.
    The predictive search in Google is a Google feature and you may have to go into the Google Search options to turn it off.
    It would also be helpful if you could post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot:] '''Add images:''' > '''Browse...''' below '''Post a Reply''' on this page.

  • It's so weird I can't turn off safe search for Google in new version of Firefox?

    I was able to turn off the Google safe search in old version but in new version I can’t. I tried IE and I can turn off safe search. I don’t know what is wrong and it’s so weird. When I go to the page of safe search setting it shows and says (Turn on safesearch to filter sexually explicit content from your search results.) but the safe search is on already. Please somebody say something I am driving out of my mind. And the stupid thing is that I have to use IE for searching and use Firefox for other stuffs.

    The problem is not Firefox - it's Google. They have changed the safesearch options.
    The way round it is to add the word 'nude' or similar to your keywords. Then you'll get taken to an 'are you sure' type option before finally showing you your results.

  • Help with turning off in-camera selected aspect ratios - Please!

    I shoot a Olympus e-P2. It allows me to change the aspect ratio of the file i.e. 4:3, 16:9 etc. I like to use this feature as 'masks' when I shoot to help with composition. When I open the RAW file in bridge or Camera Raw, this pre-selected aspect is automatically cropped from the file. I want to see the entire file, not the cropped version. The Oly software gives me this option, but I can't figure out how to turn off this 'feature' in Bridge or Camera Raw. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your adobe product is only doing what the camera data told it to. However, in the raw converter you can try activating the crop tool then right click the image and choose to remove the crop. That may work (or not).

  • Help me turn off the spell checker

    The iApps are usually so intuitive but for some reason I simply can't find a way to turn off the extremely annoying spell checker in Keynote. Not only do I strenuously object to being second-guessed on my spelling by a piece of software, I also get very angry when it tries to foist US English spellings on me when I'm not an American and my system is set up for international English. What's next, an animated paperclip??
    Can someone please help me switch it off (Keynote 06)...?

    Thanks Kyn, don't know how I missed that...
    The remaining issue is the choice of spelling dictionary - I still can't work out how a user with international or UK English settings is being prompted to use US spellings in place of correct English spellings.

  • Help me turn off camera sounds on my Nokia N70

    I tried turning off the warning tones but it didn't work, i tried placing the phone in silent mode and it didn't work, No matter what happens the camera sounds are still on, PLEASE someone help me turn these sounds off???

    Hi hakamr
    This might not be possible on your N70. It depends on the region and operator. In some cases it is a requirement that the camera sounds are always there, even if you set the phone to Silent. It's all about privacy.
    In some regions and operators, the sounds are connected to the profile (ie no sound when in Silent profile).
    Does this help?
