Something remembers my mail login name (in yahoo mail and other applications) so that as soon as the first letter is typed in the "name box" the rest of my login name is displayed. How can I stop it remembering this name?

I presume I have an autofill turned on somewhere as in a number of boxes I just type in the first letter and the remainder of stuff I have typed in the past is displayed. In some instances I do not want this information to be available to others. Please can someone tell me where this info is stored so I can delete some of it.

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it.  But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod.  If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    I have verified my new email address as my Apple ID but my IOS devices keep asking me to sign in to my previous email/Apple ID but have no access to it.  How can I stop or change this?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • When I click on a link to a file, (for instance a Filesonic link) I used to get asked if I wanted to run or download the file. Now it just goes straight to download. How can I stop it doing this? Thank you.

  • I put an app onto my phone via my comp when there wasn't space on my phone originally to download it directly. Now however, everytime I visit the app store on my phone it tries to download the same app that's already there. How can I stop it doing this?

    My phone didn't have space on it when I originally tried downloading a large app (Infinity Blade), so I downloaded the app on my computer to save time and removed apps from my phone to make space for it.
    I then connected my phone to my computer and transferred the app across onto my phone and it works fine.
    However, everytime I visit the App Store on my phone it starts downloading this same app until it tells me there isn't enough space for it at which point the app goes back to its normal already downloaded self and I can carry on playing the same game.
    How can I stop it from trying to re-download everytime I visit the app store?

    If it's still trying to download the app to your phone, then it thinks the app is not on the device.
    A reset or restart would be a good starting point to clear up the attempts to redownload the app.

  • I have added a work colleague to my family's members on iCloud so we can share the calendar for work appointments. However whe heakes purchases on iTunes I now get charged. How can I stop this happening?

    ive added my work coleague to my iCloud account so we can share the calendar on our I-phones for work appointments. when he makes a purchase on iTunes i now get charged though so how do I stop this from happening? also can I just share only work appointments or do i have to share the whole calendar with him? Can I select what he sees?

    Hi Frantic503,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.

    Have a great day,

  • HT204053 kids are getting the parents imessages via their ipod touches - we don't want our kids getting our messages.. how can we stop this?

    All devices are using updated software and here's the issue:
    Mom & Dad each have an ipod 3gs. Two teen kids each have an ipod touch 4.  All 4 devices use the same Apple ID, share free and purchased apps.  The kids are receiving Mom and Dad's text messages & messages between our texting contacts. 
    Question: 1. How can we avoid the kids receiving messages displayed on our phones to their touches (we are aware of iMessage on/off but we know the kids are able to turn this feature on and off on their touches without the need for a password.
    Question: 2. If we set up separate Apple ID's for each Ipod device, can we all still share current purchased Apps & continue to share purchased Apps? Apple allows up to 5 devices share Apps.
    Help is appreciated before we choose to not upgrade the older 3gs phones to the latest iphone and get Samsungs.
    Thank you.

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • How can I stop sounds in this scenario

    Hello, I need help.
    I need to load in an external .swf file into my new movie and
    stop the sound/music that is playing from the external swf file. I
    need the sound/music to stop immediately on frame one. I don't have
    the fla to the external swf file as it is years old. Can someone
    help me with this? I know there is "stopallsounds();" but I don't
    think I'm using it right because it won't stop the sound when I
    play the new exported swf.
    So to recap - I've loaded in a .swf on frame one (into a
    blank movie clip) - and on another layer tried to add the
    "stopallsounds();" action - music still plays - HELP!

    Load the swf in movie clip holder and give it instance name
    "someNameHere",
    than use the sound object to define the instance name as
    Sound Object's target
    and use the regular volume control to mute it. By setting it
    that way you control
    the movie clip volume (holder mc) and anything within.
    s = new Sound(someNameHere);
    s.setVolume(0);
    to play it back ON
    s = new Sound(someNameHere);
    s.setVolume(100);

  • As soon as my mail arrives in the inbox it is promptly sent to trash. Every email. How can I stop it doing this? iPad 3

    Email arrives in my inbox and then after I've read it or even unread gets tossed into the Trash! Why does it do this? It's such a pain! How do I stop it from happening please? Only had iPad for couple of months. Grateful for any help

    My phone is the 4.  Not the 4s. And I went there but it's nowhere the option to delete from server.
    I only see: ask before deleting and it's on. 

  • Some telephone numbers only stay visible for a second or two, refreshing the screen brings them back but again for a second ie too short to note down. How can I stop this (use Vista Basic on laptop)?

    When searching for numbers on a business website quite often, though not always, the telephone number only appears very briefly. Copying the web address on to Internet Explorer the number stays visible. Only happens on telephone numbers not for any other info eg email address.
    Have no idea why this happens as it appears to be random though it must relate to how a website is viewed. Wouldn't where to start to fix this!

  • Thunderbird keeps adding extra unwanted characters into messages - how can I stop or prevent this.

    Thunderbird keeps putting extra unwanted characters into emails, eg here’s the articleÂ. These extra characters roughly coincide with punctuation marks.
    First raised this a couple of weeks back but so far no-one has come back.

    You're getting these in messages while you're composing? This issue usually comes up with ''incoming'' mail and is also often seen in browsers. They can be connected with users who use non-standard fonts such as wingdings in their email.
    None of the things you say you have tried are likely to affect it. Gnospen is thinking of the '''View|Character Encoding''' setting; mine is set to Unicode and I don't understand why anyone would choose one of the regional variants when Unicode is available.
    You could look at '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]'''|Display|Formatting→Advanced and check if you have selected mainstream fonts for your email contents.

  • I have an outstanding event notification that will not allow me to accept, decline or maybe. Neither can I delete the event, despite it taking place over 6 months ago. Sent numerous reports to Apple. How can I get rid of this?

    I have an outstanding notification on my calendar on iCloud. Despite the event taking place over six months ago, it is still showing as an outstanding event. I have tried to 'decline, maybe or accept' the event invitation and each time it tells me the calendar is not repsponding and send to Apple, which I do and yet I still cannot get rid of it. Any other event invitations that I accept etc will disappear, except this one. Help!
