Safari pre-fills form fields like email addresses, how do I get it to stop?

On certain Safari form fields my computer fills in the rest of a word I recently typed if I type the first letter, but I want to either get it to stop doing that or also learn how to clear that history every once and a while - how do I do that?

Open Safari's Preferences and click on the AutoFill icon. Make sure all three options are unchecked. If they were checked, unchecking them should fix your problem. Let us know what happens.
To clear a form while keeping AutoFill activated, click on the Edit button beside the appropriate AutoFill option, find the entry for that web site, and delete it. Editing the Address Book option will open your Address Book to your card for editing.

  • I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions.  If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again.  They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why.  They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account.  It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there?  That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

  • Safari keeps opening new taps with random website how do it get it to stop?

    Safari keeps opening new taps with random website how do it get it to stop?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    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 the Internet criminal behind VSearch 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.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How can I pass a variable to a form to pre-fill form fields on load?

    Hi all,
    I am developing a Windows Form Applicaiton in C# to register new users and walk them through a signup process.The application does a lot of other things as well. This part of it collects their personal information and saves the data to the database. Part of the process requires the user to complete a pdf form (W-4 tax form). I would like to pre-populate as many form fields as possible for them when the pdf launches, and not have them enter anything to get their data to prefill the form fields.
    My issue is I can't figure out how to get the pdf to know who is loading the form so I can do the SQL select and populate the form fields. I need to do a select * from Table where UniqueID="xxxxx" but how can I get the form to know on load what "xxxxx" is so it grabs the users personal info from the database?
    I have searched high and low and found nothing on how to do this without doing some hoakey hack outside of the application or pdf doc.
    I am creating/editing the form in LiveCycle Designer 8 and am loading the form for use by the user in acrobat 9.
    Any help,ideas, or nudging in the right direction would be much appreciated!

    I found this solution:
    REPORT YRT_TEST4.
    data: r_range type range of matnr.
    perform test changing r_range.
    *& Form test
    form test changing p_r_range like r_range.
    endform. " test

  • I redeemed my $25 itunes gift card on a new account with no email address how do I get the credit on my regular itunes account?

    I got a $25 itunes gift card and tried to redeem it on my regular itunes apple ID account and I had a message saying the code was invalid so I made a new account and redeemed it on that account but it doesnt have a valid email address and I cant even remember what it was how do I get the credit from wherever it is onto my regular itunes apple ID account?

    Qauzzy,  The credit was applied to the account you used at the time you redeemed the card.  There is no way to transfer the credit to another account.
    You might as well just spend the $25 on the new account, and then stop using it and go back to your regular account..
    For future reference, do not start a new account just because you have a problem with the code.  Rather, follow the suggestions in this document: iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes

  • AppStore question for add 3 secret questions not working! After i fill all fields, rescue email and click Done i get message that Service has timed out. I can't buy or install any software. "It's just NOT works!" Why?

    I'll tryed many times. I searched this form (for 3 secret questions) in iTunes and on apple.com. There are only one question form that already filled long time ago. What i gonna do and why this happends?

    I have the same problem... I thought this only happened with MICROSOFT???
    Have rebooted and attempted to download a New app... But can't get past the New "Security Questions"... Even though I've done everything Correct, and answered all prompts Correctly, Always get the ..."Service has Timed Out" response.
    MAYBE Apple will address these MANY Problems with iOs6... As soon as they Realize we Can't BUY any apps ????
    Unfortunately for me, I'm relatively New to the Apple world, and had Very Few apps already downloaded Before I Upgraded? To iOs6... Therefore my iPad2 is about as much use to me right now as a BOAT ANCHOR....
    Does ANYBODY at Apple hear me ????????

  • I have lost my email configure with my yahoo email address how do I get it back

    My email was set up so that I could click the email icon and receive all my yahoo emails, I now get an error message that the pop server is not responding, so I can no longer receive or send emails from the Mac but have to go via safari and then onto my Yahoo account. What has happened and how can I fix it?

    Are you using the app 'Mail'? Assuming nothing's been changed on your computer it may be just a temporary glitch and right itself. If it persists, sometimes deleting the account in Mail and creating it again can fix things.

  • HT201342 I have a sympatico email address how do I get my emails

    I do not know how to get my sympatico emails to come to my phone and ipad

    Normally, I would go to simpatico ( or any other providers website ) and look for instructions to set up mail account on iphone. You can also Google instructions, but they may be outdated. You can also contact Simpatico support for correct instructions.
    I did Google it myself and that link seems to be relatively new, but since I do not have Simpatico - I can't check it for you.

  • If I use the function to align adjacent fields, or the function to match size, duplicate fields are created. How can I get this to stop?

    I have a form that consists of columns and rows of fillable fields. When I use the edit function to make the height of the fields the same, or make the widths of the different columns of fields the same, or align the fields vertically or horizontally, duplicate fields are created. If these fields have a box around them, all of the duplicate fields' boxes are shown. The field names have the same base name, but have a suffix that is sequentially numbered. If I delete the "lower" numbered suffix names (with the same base name), the resulting field does not appear on the form.
    What is going on with the alignment or size process. I do use the CTRL-Click function to select the group of fields I am trying to size or align. If using the selection of multiple fields should be done differently, how can it be done?

    No. That's not what's happening. The duplicate fields are ONLY created after I employ the alignment or sizing functions. Weird.
    I was hoping that this was the result of some kind of setting in Acrobat, or that the duplicate fields would disappear when saving the form, but that's not what happened.
    Thanks for your input, however.

  • Pre-Filled forms

    I upgraded my computer and the old pre-filled form cookies are still coming up when I check out on an online web site. Does anyone know how to update this information? Thanks!

    You didn't say but we'll assume you are using Safari. Safari>Preferences>Autofill. Make all your adjustments there.

    That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later.  If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

    You can't access iCloud from your iPhone unless you're on iOS 5 or later.  Otherwise, refer to this article:

  • Filling of form fields changing depending on how PDF is opened, why?

    First of all, here is the error message that I am trying to deal with:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    Software & PDF details:
    Adobe Reader 8. V8.1.1
    PDF Producer:     Toolkit http://activepdf.com
    PDF Version:       1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
    The PDF is set to with:
    Filling of form fields: Allowed
    After investigation I have found that:
    If I open the file by double clicking, I am able to fill in the fields and save without any problems.
    If the file is opened as a result of a software process trigger (which is what I actually want to achieve), the "Filling of form fields" is changed to "Not Allowed". This then results in the error message described above.
    Also, I have another PDF with exactly the same settings as above (PDF version and Producer etc), which successfully generates as a result of the software process trigger. This file that works does not change the "Filling of Form Fields" value.
    So, my question is, why would a particular PDF change the "filling of form fields" value depending on how it is opened?

    Ok, that is a useful result, telling us a lot.
    Some background you need. Reader 8 CANNOT SAVE FILLED IN FILES normally. To be able to save them they must be specially prepared. This is called "Reader enabling". (In your original message, "rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader") To prepare a file Acrobat can be used, or a server product which has had many names but is currently LiveCycle Reader Extensions. If this is not done, the form cannot be saved, whatever its origin.
    Now, a file may not be changed/damaged in even the slightest way after this preparation. This will produce the message seen.
    So, your test seems to show
    - the original file is OK, undamaged
    - by the time the file is delivered from the database to the user it has been damaged/changed.
    So, you now have a path to pursue through the software.
    (To clarify: this only applies if you used Windows Explorer to save the file, NOT any save function in Reader; if you saved in Reader please repeat the test with Windows Explorer).

  • How do I make a submit button that sends the form to an email address?

    I can see how to link to an email which then opens up an email someone could attach the form to. But I do not see how to make a button that automatically sends the form to an email address. Can someone provide assistance? Thanks!

    I have the same question. You'd thing this would be a no brainer requirement for a form.
