Stop thunderbird from automatically populating the To: field when replying

Is there a way to stop Thunderbird from automatically populating the To: field when replying to an email?.
Also is there a way to get Thunderbird to request confirmation of addresses emails are to be sent to?

'Reply' is supposed to do exactly that. Use 'Forward' instead.
Wrt return receipts check this article.

How to I stop safari from automatically resizing the bookmark bar when I click on the search bar?

there is probably an eloquent way to ask this but I don't even know what the feature is called.
Here is what it's doing:
I'm using safari in landscape mode on my iPad.
I click on the search bar and then the bookmarks come up below.
It takes a second to automatically resize to a size that make no sense, usually cutting off bookmark titles...and the delay of it resizes drives me nuts.
Safari did not used to do this until I guess ios 8. Any ideas how to stop this annoying "feature"??

Try deleting the Cache.db...
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari ...
You may want to try the Safari Reading List as an alternative to tabs.
Click the eyeglass icon just to the left of the Bookmarks icon top left side of the Safari window.
Drag the url to the window or click Add Page

How do I stop firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a textbox?

How do I stop Firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a text box? On certain pages such as Google.com the cursor will be moved to the search text box automatically after a couple seconds from the page loading. So I'll be typing in the address bar or something and then half of what I am typing in the address bar becomes cut off and starts being entered in the Google.com text box for search. The same happens on Facebook.com and the cursor is automatically moved to the Status Update text box. I assume this is a built in "feature" of the web page, but it's damn annoying. Especially when I start typing in my status update box on Facebook before the page completely loads and then halfway through typing (once the page is done loading) my cursor is moved to the starting position of the text area and my text is cut off.
Just the be clear the actual mouse pointer isn't being moved, just the prompt for entering text.
How can this be stopped?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started since I can remember

This problem has grown worse over the last couple of years. I use Firefox on Mac and Windows. I consider this problem to be a bug. Here's why: Event Driven interfaces, e.g., OSX and Windows, are never supposed to change typing-cursor focus WHILE SOMEONE'S TYPING!!!
Firefox allows websites to change focus WHILE USERS TYPE!
Hey, sorry for the caps, but I haven't used those for awhile and that's kind of fun. But really, more and more websites steal typing-cursor focus WHILE USERS TYPE.
Efff them, but really, Eff Firefox for allowing this.
It's almost like a symptom of our hyper scattered age where our attention jumps here and there.
But really... I love Firefox, some of my best friends are Firefox, they're good people, don't get me wrong, but damn it, WHEN SOMEONE IS TYPING THE UNASSAILABLE RULE OF EVENT DRIVEN DESIGN IS NOTHING ELSE SHOULD CHANGE FOCUS WHILE SOMEONE IS TYPING!!!!
FIX THIS PLEASE.
Oh, I just ran out of capital letters. :) :) :)

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing the songs I download?

I usually end up deleting a bunch of songs, but iTunes is automatically importing/adding the songs I download which then creates a lot of missing file links. How do I stop iTunes from doing that, I just want to be able to add them manually by folders.

I'm having a similar problem.
When I download songs via my MobileMe "iDisk" webpage, it will automatically end up in iTunes and starts playing. I set up my iDisk settings to place my downloads on my desktop, which it does, just fine.
Nonetheless iTunes ALWAYS wanting to be part of it, is really annoying.
I just DON'T want iTunes to start up, just because a download finished. I add songs manually myself when I want it.
Any advise ?? Thanks

How do I stop Itunes from automatically changing the Category of a Song

The Catgory of a song changes when I play it and other times that I can't figure out. How do I stop that from happening.

No, don't check it!
That is the only setting that would let itunes change file names. Read right underneath it - itunes will create files & folders based on artist & album name.
Something else must be changing your files, then - not iTunes.
Every PC comes with WIndows Media Player. Go into that and uncheck the options to retreive internet info for albums. It's in 2 places, on the Library tab and the Privacy tab.

Can I stop iPhoto from automatically mounting the iPhone, When iPhoto open?

I use other software to grab my photos, and I use the import option to put my pictures into iPhoto. I also like to keep a lot of photos on my iPhone and whilst browsing my iPhoto library (it's always opened at startup) sometimes I want to charge the iPhone, or sync iTunes etc - it takes me away from my library I was half way through arranging and then I have to wait whilst it shows me the photos again. I can right click and unmount, but later on it comes back - I have to exit or unplug. Both of which I don't want to do. I don't want it to appear in iPhoto under devices unless I say so. It's an unwanted hassle.
Apart from that, I am happy with it!

open iPhoto (or image capture) and the preferences set action when camera is connected to do nothing (or to open your selected program) to stop iPhoto from being launched when you connect your iPhone

Stop OPCLabVIEW from automatically starting the DSCEngine

If you try to connect to a tag on the OPCLabVIEW server when the DSCEngine isn't running, it will automatically start the DSCEngine.
This is kind of annoying. Is there any way to prevent this from happenning? There should be a security setting somewhere to prevent this from hapenning.

John Paul,
the browser interface for an OPC server is just available when the OPC server is started. This means you can just connect or browse to an OPC item when the server is started. In case of LabVIEW (DSC) the DSC Engine is the OPC server, so the Engine has to be running. This is, as I know of, with all the OPC servers the same. Before you browse to an item it will start the OPC .exe and connect to it.
If you want to prevent some users to start the DSC Engine through the OPC interface you can specify special security for this COM/DCOM (OPC) interface. Start>Run>dcomcnfg will bring up the DCOM configuration. Choose 'LabVIEW Datalogging ans supervisory contol Module OPC Server's Properties and go to the Security Tab. There you can specify which users are
allowed to launch the OPC server.
Note: If you deny the launch permission for one user, he will not be able to browse to the items.
Hope this helps

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Populating the screen field when the cursor moves to that field

hi every one,
I want to populate the screen field(MODULE POOL) When the cursor moves to that field.
So can any one help me out with this.
EXAMPLE..
I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' (Total Price). When the fields like 'S10_PIECES' (Number of Pieces) will be entered. I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' without pressing any button on the screen nor when enter is hit. When the field 'S10_PIECES'' will be entered with some value and the cursor moves to 'S10_TOT_PRICE' . The Total Price field should be populated. Please help me out with this.
THANKS & REGARDS.
Mahanta.
POINTS WILL BE REWARDED.

Sorry but look at this SAP documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/54/0608162d0711d295520000e8353423/frameset.htm">User Actions on Screens</a>
Extract :
<i>User Actions on Screens
There are various ways in which users can interact with screens.
Filling Input Fields
Users can enter values in any input field on the screen, or change the value using the mouse, in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes. The contents are placed in the corresponding screen field. Filling an input field does not normally trigger the PAI event. Exceptions to this are Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with Function Codes and input fields with Drop Down Boxes.</i>
So, i fear that you cannot "take hand" when user fill a numerical field to perform calculations and update the screen.

How do I stop apps from automatically opening the files that were open the last time the app ran?

I open Text Edit and 5 pages that were open last time appear. I don’t want them. I open Photoshop, and all the photos I had open last time open. And when I shut down, I have to deselect the Reopen windows... or the computer starts back up with all the stuff I was using at the end of the day. I can’t find anything in System Prefs that gives me the right to control my own computer...

Look at System Preferences > General > uncheck "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" under the Number of Recent items label.

How can I stop apps from automatically opening the most recent file?

Why do apps running under OSX insist on loading the last-opened file whenever you start them up?
I've seen this now with Preview and QuickTime so far and it's really annoying. If I double click a file to preview or play it, why would I want the last files I'd viewed to also reopen without my asking for it?
Really annoying...

To switch off the "Restore windows ..." generally is the "brute force method".
With some apps, this behavior is really a benefit (e.g. Terminal, Texteditors, ...).
So you might decide to selectively switch off this behavior for each app, that should not restore:
see link:
http://www.macworld.com/article/161330/2011/07/four_lion_terminal_hacks.html
e.g. for Preview:
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
I guess this will soon be available as an option in each apps GUI-preferences.

How do I stop Aperture from automatically imputing SCSI card data when I put a SCSI card in?

I use the SCSI card every day to move movie files from my camera to an external harddrive. When I put a SCSI card in the slot, Aperture automatically opens and starts downloading. How can I stop this? I want to just copy the SCSI card to my external hard drive. This was asked in a priveious Apple forum but never answered.

I meant SD card I guess, not SDSC card
Frank, thanks I will try that.

Is there anyway to stop PS Touch automatically resizing the file/image when saving to Gallery

I bought the Note primarily for the PS touch feature as a way of editting my photos on the move and not being tied to my PC at home. Now i load up my images from the MicroSD card and edit away but when i save them i only have the option of saving to Gallery and not the memory card (not a major problem itself). However they are automatically reduced in both file size but also image size, which is fine for small prints but i like having the option of printing larger so would prefer to keep the large file size if possible.
On a similar note is it possible to save direct back to the memory card overwritting the original or is it always going to go to the gallery?

The only thing you can to it to set the import size to the max value within the PS Touch Settings-> Image Import
When your image is even larger than the MAX value, PS Touch downscales the image.
Hope that answers your question.

Pre populating the database field when a user logs into web forms

Hi,
When my users log into the web forms application I want the database name field to be pre populated, how do I do this, I presume it can be defined in the config files ?
Thanks in anticipation.
SDG.

Hi,
I think u are refering to the username, password, database field (connect string)
here. If this is the case then you can use LOGON(username, password||'@'||connectstring) procedure and hardcode the connect string.
Best Regards

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.
