How do i disable auto-click in the bookmarks bar?

I recently went to FedEx to track a package and I save the link in the bookmarks bar. When I show all bookmarks the display for the bookmarks bar shows a column between the name and the url. The title of the column is "Auto-Click".
How did this happen and, more importantly, how do I get rid of the Auto-Click column?
This is on an iMac (intel) running OS X Lion. The Safari version is 6.0.3.
Bill aka VMS Mangler

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Auto-Correction -> OFF.
But this is a global setting, not just for the Mail app.

My trackpad is clicking on it's own. How do I fix this?

When operating my Mac Air, the trackpad will click on it's own, highlighting text and "right" clicking without me performing those commands. It will also select and drag objects around the screen. I've unchecked all of the point and click functions as well as the scroll and zoom options, but my problem remains.
Please help!

Go step by step and test.
1. Restart
2. Shut down the computer.
    Clean the trackpad with moist not wet microfiber cloth.
    System Preferences > Point & Click
    Try turning off three finger dragging and then turning it on after testing.
3. Is there any Bluetooth device nearby with failing batteries? If so, replace the batteries.
   4. Reset PRAM:   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
5. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
6. Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Click the spotlight -the magnifying glass icon- in the menu bar. Enter Disk utility in the box.
     Select Disk Utility from the drop down. When the Disk utility window opens up,
     select Macintosh HD, then First Aid.
     Click Repair Disk Permissions button.
     Ignore the time remaining estimate.
     Last 1 minute may take longer.
If this does not solve the problem, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store
to have it checked out.
Best.

How to script an auto clicking program in AppleScript with multiple mouse locations

I have no experience in scripting but I want to make an auto clicking program where it click in 3 different locations on the screen in a sequence. Is this possible with to do with apple scripts? I am using a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012) OSX Yosemite.

This is a python script wrapped in an Applescript.
See the 3 mouseclick(x, y); commands near the end that clicks 3 positions on the menu bar.
do shell script "
python <<-END
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
        theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
        CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
time.sleep(2);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent); # Save current mouse position
mouseclick(5, 10);
time.sleep(2);
mouseclick(200, 10);
time.sleep(2);
mouseclick(300, 10);
time.sleep(2);
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y)); # Restore mouse position

Auto click search bar in safari

on my old mac i could open a tab in safari and have it auto click in the search bar so you can just start typing instead of having to click it first. i just bought a new bacbook pro and it dosnt do it and iv looked through ever setting i can think of i cant remember how i did it on my old macbook

its hard to explain i actually work with apple and no one could figure it out. on my old mac and the mac in the store when you "Command/ T" to open a new tab and then "Command/V" to paste it, pastes into the search bar / you can also just start typing and it will start typing in the search bar. on my new Macbook pro when i open a new tab nothing is selected so i have to click the search bar before i can start typing its not a huge issue its just annoying when doing work and youre used to it always doing it

Where is the bookmark 'auto-click' column?

Can anyone tell me how to make the auto-click column appear in the bookmark window of Safari?
Thanks.

Yes, the column is "Auto-Click" not Auto-Tab". I bet you only see it available for folders on your Bookmarks Bar with a check-box appearing only besides the folders on the Bookmarks Bar.
Note that without Auto-Click enabled, you can automatically open all tabs by Command-Clicking on a folder on the Bookmarks Bar. With Auto-Click enabled, the operation is reversed and Command-Clicking will give you a drop-down list of the folder's contents.

RSS, Bookmarks Bar and Auto-Click

As we all know, if you have a folder in your bookmarks bar with auto-click enabled, and that folder has feed:// type bookmarks in it, Safari will automatically aggregate the feeds in that folder into one tab when you click the folder in your bookmarks bar.
Also, if you do not have auto-click enabled and you click the folder in your bookmarks bar and choose "Open in Tabs" - all of the feed:// bookmarks open in their own tab.
What I am trying to figure out is how to get the Auto-Click to open all of the feed:// bookmarks in their own tabs - I do not want to slog through a long rss page of 500 unread articles, and yes I know about the source links on the safari rss pages.
Does not seem to be an option anywhere in Safari, maybe a hack/script/shareware add-on I could use to do this?

I thought it should have just been there, I just wasn't sure; it had been so long since I set auto-click up. I told him to delete the plist, but it didn't make a difference. Regardless, thanks for the insight, and for responding so promtly. At this point it sounds more like operator error, rather than Safari's problem (which is surprising considering he's been a mac addict since they were on the market, and programs on one every day).
Thanks again!

This isn't and JavaScript forum and I'm not sure I understand the question. I think you want to validate the URL's of a given website to make sure they are valid.

After 10.9.3 update MacBook Air 11" trackpad secondary click won't respond at all?

Hello!
I updated to 10.9.3 earlier this week on my MacBook Air 11" and things were running smoothly but then this morning I was cleaning up my bookmark folders and tried to use the secondary click on my trackpad (right-click, which is set to the bottom of the trackpad) it would not respond. I closed out of what I was doing and I tried to close applications on the dock using the secondary click method as I have in the past and it just does not respond.
I made sure I had it selected in system preferences as the method to use on the track pad after check it out in different applications. Unselected it reselected it. No change.
This macbook had been restarted a couple of times since the update too.
I don't get how it will work and then not work. So lame.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

The full release of 10.9.3 is available from App Store now. You can re download the full version from your Purchase tab in App Store. After download there will be Install OSX Maverics in Applications folder. Before installing OSX on top of the one on your system, copy the a install aoSX Mavericks to your external drive or any location. You can copy it to Applications folder for reinstall after that if you want.
The new download will be 10.9.3. Before doing so, please try to boot into safe boot, by holding shift key and power on. Try your secondary mouse click to see if it work. If it is the same, then it will be driver corruption, try reinstall will help.

You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

* Where have they acknowledged anything?
** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

What MacBook? How did you try to 'play' CDs? What happens? Does it happen with a specific CD, some CDs, or all CDs? Does it happen with data CDs, or audio CDs, or both? Does it happen with commercially-pressed CD, or CD-R, or both?

Safari 5.1.4 Lion auto-click no longer works for me

I have a bookmarks folder on a MacBook Pro that is set to auto-click, it launches in tabs several sites that I look at every morning.
I upgraded to 5.1.4 Lion last night, and this morning, the auto-click didn't work.
It works with Safari 5.0.5 on the same machine.
It works with Safari 5.1.3 on the same machine.
It works with Safari 5.1.4 Snow Leopard on my iMac.

Hi Steve,
Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...
Open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
Now go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac for changes to take effect then try Safari.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

i used this code but it crashed app

On what line did it "crashed app" and what was the exception? The line within this function, not in main.m. If you haven't figured this out yet: view the debugger output, try single stepping, and/or add NSLog messages in the function.
