Stop auto-capitalization after i.e. or e.g.

anyone have an idea how to stop auto-capitalization after typing "i.e." or "e.g."?
I would like to retain the auto-capitalization for starting sentences.
Thanks!

I don't see that behavior on my Mac.
Really? So in Pages > Preferences > Autocorrection, you have the box for Fix Capitalization checked, and when you type something like " i.e. the" you do not wind up with" i.e. The" as soon as you hit the space key?

How to auto capitalize after a period in text field

Is there a way to make a text field auto capitalize after a period if the user has forgotten. I am currently using LiveCycle Designer ES4

Try putting the following in the exit event of your text field:
this.rawValue=this.rawValue.replace(/(^\w{1}|\.\s*\w{1})/gi, function(a){return a.toUpperCase();});

How do I stop auto-capitalization?

I have seen threads where people are complaining about auto-capitalization in certain applications. For me, it does it system-wide, all applications.
I have gone to Edit > Spelling and Grammar and unchecked all options. It doesn't matter what I do, it ALWAYS auto-capitalizes the first word after a Return. Doesn't matter if I am in Pages, Evernote, TextEdit, whatever.
I also went to System Preferences>Keyboard>Text and unchecked "Correct spelling automatically. Didn't fix the problem.
Anyone have a fix for this issue?
Gary

Thank pmiles. I found that TextExpander was the culprit. I've had it installed for about a year but it just started doing this recently. Anyway, I found the preference option that had been turned on. Fixed it and it's all good now. Thanks again.

How do I turn off auto capitalization

I have a disability in my left hand so i am not as quick on the key strokes. This delay causes the letter to switch to a capital. How do I turn this off?

If you mean the auto capitalization from a long key press, that is not customizeable... it is there.
Otherwise, there is this:
Check main Settings (swipe down from the top bezel)
Tap on Language and Input
Tap on Prediction and Correction
Tap on AutoCapitalize. That will turn off the auto-capitalization after a period.

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

Module 'asus-nb-wmi' stopped being auto-loaded after kernel update

Well, the module 'asus-nb-wmi' which takes care of some FN keys and keyboard backlight stopped being auto-loaded after the latest kernel udpate (3.9.3), so I had to add it to /etc/modules-load.d/ to get it working. This has happened before, between kernel updates and I had to re-install arch to fix it, but now I found that manually adding the module is a nice solution, but I want it to be loaded automatically or at least know why does this happen. Kernel modules, such as this one, should be loaded automatically right?
Best regards.

I think there is a valid question here; Same thing happened to me.
Upon a default install of arch, the module was auto-loaded without the user touching any configuration files
at some point during kernel updates, the module is no longer auto-loaded
the user then has to find out what is happening and go add the module to the appropriate config file to force load on boot.
So the larger question is; without config files being taken into consideration, how does the kernel decide what modules to load? f
I know it has something to do with the hardware that it detects, but am unaware if this is something within the RC or systemctl booting system, or if this is part of the kernel.
I'm going to dig around some more on the internet, as i'm sure the answer is out there somewhere.. but if someone that is on this forum happens to read and know the answer, it would be nice to know
thanks

How do I enable "auto-capitalization" on Pages 5.2?

I'm still used to Microsoft Word which would capitalize for me, at the beginnings of sentences, proper nouns, etc. Pages must have have it, right?

The auto-capitalization feature still does not exist in Pages as of v5.2. It does exist in Pages ’09 v4.3, a prior release, that if you had it installed, the Pages v5 install would have moved it to /Applications/iWork ’09 folder.
The freeware Devon Technologies WordServices Service suite of tools has a feature that for all selected text, it will perform the auto-capitalization feature for you. This does work in Pages v5.2. Its either Pages ’09, the shift key after full stop punctuation, or the WordServices tool. For now.

How do I stop auto-sync?

I need to get my Mac to stop auto-syncing my Address Book (so that you don't see those arrows spinning up on my menu bar). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Raymond

Ok, ever since I plugged my new iPad into my MacBook, my MacBook kept popping up messages about merging my Yahoo contacts with Address Book. I resisted these constant pop up messages for over a week and then I finally gave in and said "Fine, do it!" So then I checked Address Book on the MacBook and it's duplicated most of my contacts many times over. Around 10 times each. I figured it was an error so I went and deleted all of the copies. I noticed this arrow thing spinning on my menu bar later on that day (syncing MobileMe) and so I canceled the sync. After that I checked Address Book and all those contacts were copied all over again. Now it's been about two weeks and each of those contacts has 94 copies each(!!!). I don't have MobileMe so when I go into my System Prefs I can't edit it to stop doing this syncing process since it's asking me for my member name and password. So frustrating!
I hope that made some sense to you.
Thanks,
Raymond

How to turn on auto capitalization on my mac?

Hey guys,
I want to know how to turn on auto capitalization on my mac. Because this helps me to type faster in pages, keynote, etc.
Could y'all help me out?

because Apple has most of its products, phones tablets and software that start with small letters despite being proper nouns, in Apple's world it's normal to use small letters for proper nouns and start sentences with small letters.
you will have to get used to the shift button and get a bit slow on your typing. after some time you'll get used to it.
this does sound frustrating but i agree with other users that the fact that you are using an expensive Mac does not relegate you to inferior word processors. go ahead and install office for Mac and enjoy!

Frustrating auto capitalization quirk

I have noticed the most annoying quirk over the last few weeks on my Mac mini. When I start typing, the first letter of every line is automatically capitalized. I do not use Pages, nor do I have this feature turned on in Word.
It is especially frustrating when using Coda, Sublime Text and Terminal. After typing the first two characters, I'm forced to backspace and start over, since I don't want capital letters in code editors. Terminal continually says that my password is incorrect, and I'm guessing it's due to this auto capitalization.
I would be really grateful if anyone can offer a suggestion to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your response. I'll remove my log in items and re-enable them one at a time and try to find the culprit.
Sorry, I accidentally clicked the 'this helped me' on my own message.

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

ITunes stops responding immediately after opening

My iTunes stops responding immediately after opening and even force-quit doesn't do.
Baically it freezes between pressing it and opening the window. In my large library, I can see that it loads it and then nothing more. The menu appears and then the wheel. Force quitting doesn't shut the program, no matter how I do it. It leaves the arrow and the only way is to restart the computer and start again.
I tried using another account, and it does the same. I tried with a new library. I tried with new prefs folder both on the user and on the Mac HD. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I even tried reinstalling the whole OS X - but nothing. The only thing is that after zapping PRAM it might work once or twice, but no more.
This is with iTunes 7.0.2, QuickTime 7.1.3 and OS 10.4.8
I don't know what else to do.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. It started recently - maybe about two weeks ago - and occasionally when I launch iTunes it just freezes. I can't force quit it completely - it still shows in the Dock as though it's running, though it's not present in Activity Monitor.
Curiously, I've also had a couple of kernel panics when clicking iTunes buttons in the past week. I don't recall any system update that might have affected either iTunes or QuickTime, so I'm stumped... The only way to get iTunes back is to log out or restart.

My IPhone stopped working right after I did the most current update, yesterday. The screen has a picture of the usb cord, pointing towards the ITunes logo. I cannot use the phone at all. I have tried turning it off and on.ITunes won't recognize device

Hi there,
Can someone please help. My IPhoneS stopped working right after I did the latest update which was yesterday. Now, the phone does not work at all. When turned on, the screen shows a picture of USB cable pointing to the ITunes logo. I have tried just about everything, and cannot get it working. It's like it is frozon. My ITunes does not recognize my device. Cannot dial out either. I desperately need to get it working. Can someone please help me.
Thanking you in advance for your help. :-)

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.
