Stop spell correction when entering an email address

I've just recently migtared to Yosemite from Snow Leopard and there's a lot of stuff I don't like mostly related to the way things look on my monitor.  I'm playing around with System Preferences, etc. to try and get back to the more pleasing appearance that I had under Snow Leopard so I may be posing questions about that later. 
But right now I don't know how to stop the automatic spell correction when I'm typing an email address into a field that is obviously for that purpose.  You'd think Mac OS would be smart enough to recognize that fact and suspend spell correction in that case.     Is there anything that can be done short of turning off spell correction altogether?  It's a handy feature and I'd hate to lose it.

Control-click that field, choose Spelling and Grammar, and uncheck Correct Spelling Automatically.

  • Why can't I use a backslash on my Iphone when entering my email address

    Why can't I use a backslash on my Iphone when entering my email address

    Best thing to do is go to your email, hit reply on any email and find the backslash on your keyboard.  Select the Backslash and then cut/copy it into your mail settings or wherever you want to use it.

  • In Thunderbird, I cannot send email. I am asked to enter an email address in Mail and Newsgroup Account settings but when I click on this option, nothing opens.

    I can connect to Thunderbird and receive email. However, I cannot send emails. When I press send (either from replying to an email or entering an email address manually) I get the following error message:
    Sending of message failed.
    No sender specified. Please fill in your email address in the Mail & Newsgroup Account settings.
    When I click on the menu option within the email message Tools/Mail & Newsgroup, the message minimises and the programme returns me to my inbox. There is no Mail & Newsgroup setting on the mail programme.

    Sorry, I don't use Thunderbird and this is the Firefox support forum.

  • Error when starting Firefox 3.6. "Javascript Application error. Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username." Any suggestions on what to look for to resolve this?

    When starting Mozilla Firefox 3.6, I get an error window which opens up additionally overtop my browser windows stating:
    "Javascript Application"
    followed with :
    "Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username."
    Obviously it is happening with one of my email addresses/usernames & password combinations of which I know the username for (which I choose not to post here) and I'm not sure where to begin looking for a resolution to this problem.

    I was able to resolve this by disabling (under Tools - Add-ons) Yahoo! Mail Notifier
    Hope this helps some of you also!

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

    I can't answer why you are not able to connect to WiFi but I can tell you to try the basic things, turn WiFi off and on again, restart your iPad, reset network settings, reboot your router, forget your WiFi network and try again .....
    The issue with the email is probably a password issue. Make sure that your password is entered in the incoming mail server setting and in the outgoing mail server setting as well. The outgoing server setting can be accessed by tapping on the SMTP under the Outgoing Mail Server Setting and then tapping the smtp.comcast.net in the next window under the Primary Server Setting.
    The outgoing mail server setting will be in the first window when you tap on the Comcast account in the Mail settings.
    Look here for a few different web sites for help with the WiFi.

  • I am trying to set up sync on my desktop, so I can sync my ipad. When I enter my email address, it says unknown error. I've tried several email addresses.

    When trying to set up a sync account, the first thing I have to do is enter my email address. When I begin typing that, I get an "invalid email address" just below it. I understand this is because I haven't finished typing it. Once I finish typing the full address it, the error message changes to "unknown error". I have tried several different email addresses and each time I get the same message. I want to sync my ipad to the desktop.

  • Entered incorrect email address when setting up Apple ID, therefore cannot get verification email. Also 'redeemed' $50 iTunes card before mistake was realised.

    Entered incorrect email address when setting up Apple ID, also 'redeemed' $50 iTunes card before mistake was realised. Naturally, the email address cannot be validated, so cannot proceed further. Please help.

    You can't merge IDs, but if you want to change the ID:
    For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the new ID.
    For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    For iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your new ID and choose Merge to upload your data.

    You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get your questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • JAVA SCRIPT application: Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.

    Every time I start up Firefox, I get the following:
    JavaScript Application
    "mfernandez1957" Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.
    What do I do?
    Another issue is hang ups, I mean every few seconds it hangs up and I get (Not Responding), which is frustrating when you're entering data or whatever and in the middle it freezes so then you have to go back and retype stuff that never got entered. It even hangs right out the gate, I get (Not Responding), I mean, before Firefox is even fully loaded, it hangs, it even hangs (though considerably less frequently) with all my plug ins currently disabled. So that's another issue.
    If y'all can help, I would be grateful.

    That is controlled by the web browser you are using. It is called Auto Fill in most of them. I don't use Safari so I'm not sure how that works in that browser.
