Turn off suggestions in calendar

I tried to create an event called "Walk today" and the automated suggestions won't let me use the word today. It lets me say "this am" without suggesting anything, so apparently it's smart enough to think "today" is unnecessary, but not smart enough to also disallow "this am".
I erroneously posted this complaint against mail, not calendar. I long ago turned off text replacement in mail, I hope there's some way to do the same in calendar, but I can't find it. If you know where it is, I would really appreciate your telling me. Next step is to offer apple my feedback.
Thanks.

  • How turn off suggestions in Calendar?

    When I enter a new event in Calendar, the app enters an array of suggested addresses.  How can I turn that 'feature' OFF?

  • Turn off suggestions in mail?

    Why does the "suggestions" function in mail force-override what I want to type? I wanted to write "walk today" as an event title and mail removes the word today. Why can't I have "today" in an event title? My only other option is to make it an all-day event, which isn't what I want, either. I looked through the systems preferences for any way to turn off suggestions in general or specifically in mail, but I can't find it. Is it in an "advanced" popup somewhere?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks Eric, but sadly--it wasn't. Everything else is, but not text replacement.
    But you know what I only now realized--my original complaint was with Calendar, not Mail. I cannot explain why I submitted this question against Mail, except maybe because they seem to get lumped together. I don't see anything in the Calendar menu about substitutions.
    I don't suppose there's any way to delete this post, but I'll go submit this question against Calendar. Thanks for your help, Eric, you showed me something I hadn't noticed, but sorry to waste your time.

  • Turn off suggestions

    How do you turn off suggestions when entering new events in the Calendar? I try to enter dates for ball games and it enters duplicate events when I'm trying to create a "new" game with a different location and time. I don't like that it's trying to predict what I'm going to enter. Is there a way to turn this feature off? It's rather aggravating when I have to enter the same event 3 times. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!

  • How do I turn off suggested videos using the YouTube widget?

    How do I turn off suggested videos using the YouTube widget?

    That's not currently an option in the Muse youtube widget.
    We'll add support for that option in a future release of Muse.

  • Turn off location in calendar ios8

    Location field in calendar won't turn off in iOS 8. This is an older iPad but don't know which one.
    I tried Settings  then Privacy then Location Services then Calendar. My setting is Never.
    But I still get the map stuff (I use the location field for various notes about the event). When I enter a note, the pin appears and I cannot save my text entry.

    I was very annoyed by the huge lists that the Calendar expected me to select from when typing into the Location field for a new event. After doing the following, the list was limited to locations that I had typed in previously elsewhere in the calendar, and if I wanted to type in a new location or short note it was easy to do.
    Settings > General > Spotlight Search  - Deselect Spotlight suggestions; deselect Bing search results
    If you have Location Services set to On, which I didn't, it might perhaps be necessary to go to Settings > Privacy > location Services > System services > and turn of Spotlight Suggestions. I do not know what else either of these changes will affect, but the first one resolved the issue I was having with entering locations into a calendar event.

  • HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

    Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8.  I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts.  There seems no way to turn this off.  I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment.  There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8.  Any ideas?

    Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars.  Thanks!
    Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
    For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
    This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months.  So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

  • Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search, Unable to turn off Suggestions and history in Safari search

    Not matter what I try, including turning off "Search Engine Suggestions and Preload Top Hits", when I start to type in the Safari/Google search bar, it pulls up "Top Hits and Bookmarks and History"
    Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

    There is no way to turn off all suggestions when you type, unless you're using Private Browsing mode.
    The "Search Engine Suggestions" only disables sending what you type to the selected search engine (Google, Bing, etc.).  It does not prevent Safari from providing suggestions based on your browsing history and your bookmarks stored locally on disk.
    To enable Private Browsing mode, tap the address view, then tap "Private" button on top of the keyboard.  After enabling Private Browsing, no more suggestions will be listed from history or bookmarks, and if "Search Engine Suggestions" are off, then nothing should be listed.

  • How to turn off suggested sites when using - Inbox

    I don't want the suggested sites. Displaying them causes problems when rand children use computer.

  • Any way to turn off "Suggested" Album Ratings?

    I find that the current implementation of Album Ratings is pretty useless (iTunes 8.0.2). I'm OK with iTunes suggesting an Album Rating based on the ratings of songs on it, but not if it treats the suggested rating as an actual rating in Smart Playlists. I don't consider an album to be great simply because one song on it is great but iTunes does, and with over 1400 albums and 16,000 songs in my library, I don't have time to rate every single one.
    I would like to use the feature to rate albums and create a playlist of my favorites to sync to my Touch, but I don't want, for example, the Power Rangers Soundtrack on my iPod simply because I rated the They Might Be Giants song on it a 5. That goes against the concept of ratings. Does anyone know of any hidden preferences that I can set via Terminal or any scripts that will turn off the suggested album rating feature?
    Thanks!

    I've yet to find one, and wish there was one just like you! I was also hoping there would be a way to rate an album as 0 stars to erase the "suggestion", but setting an album to 0 stars brings it back to the suggestion.
    I've sent feedback about this but won't hold my breath.
    I like the suggestion too but wish it would only pay attention to ratings I make implecitely or at least wait until three or more tracks are rated before making a suggestion in the mean time, of course that wouldn't work for everything. Oh well...

  • Turning off iCal subscribed calendars on iPhone

    I have a number of calendars that I subscribe to in iCal on my computer. These are calendars I choose to leave turned off in iCal - and simply turn them on if I need to know the details - for example appointments being made by staff etc.
    I note since Snow Leopard and/or 3.1 on my iPhone that these calendars are being pushed to my iPhone. I am having difficulty working out how to turn them off on the iPhone. It makes it near impossible to view my own calendars easily.
    Is there a way of choosing which calendars you want 'pushed' to your iPhone? Or can you turn certain calendars on or off? I know I can select one calendar at a time on the phone - but that's not sufficient.
    Thanks.

    I have a similar problem.
    One of my calendars that's subscribed to on iCal continually wants a user name and password. I type then in correctly, but it doesn't work ultimately. So i just want it off. I cannot, however, figure out how to.

  • Turn off invitations in calendar

    Every time I create or move an appointment in calendar it sends me an invite. How do I turn this off? I have deleted and re-synced it with gmail.  I have turned of invitations in both gmail and settings.

    Here is what finally worked for me in ios8 (8.1.2)
    Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations > Notification Sound > Set *both the alert tone and vibration* to None (they are separate settings.)  The view from the Invitations form is a little misleading - the Notification sound will say "None" even if there is a vibration setting other than None.
    Not sure when this changed but it was making me a LITTLE CRAZY.

  • Turning off alarm for calendar entries

    When I enter a calendar event on my new Palm Centro, it puts in an alarm to ring 5 minutes prior to the event by default.  I have gone into every preference tab I can find but cannot find a way to turn this off without doing it for each event.  Is it possible to reset this?
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    You can uncheck having an alarm or even change the alarm presets by pressing the menu button in calendar, then go to options, then preferences.

  • How do you turn off birthdays in notification center?

    When I synced Facebook and my contacts, every single one of my friends birthdays were synced with my calendar. I turned off the birthday calendar in the app but they continue to spam my notification center EVERY DAY. Does anyone know how to stop this? If not could we request an update that let's us?

    unfortunatly, you can't.
    In iOS 6 (or in iOS 5 for matter of fact), birthdays are pulled DIRECTLY from your contacts app and then displayed in notification center, and not through the calendar app. So doing anything from Calendar app won't do anything.
    The only solution, sadly, at this point, is to disable contact integration with Facebook if you have issues. Currently, there is no proper fix for this, and I'm afraid we won't be seeing any fix for while....

  • What will happen to my mac if I turn off icloud

    I thought I could sync my mini and laptop using icloud only to find my laptop was too old after setting up my icloud account.  Now, I find if I turn if off it says documents, contents, etc will be deleted from my mac mini.  Is that true?  How do I turn if off and keep my stuff.  I don't have iphone or ipad and don't need icloud.
    thanks

    What is the exact wording of the message?
    Why not just leave it on on the one Mac? That way you can access some items by going to icloud.com and signing in.
    This:

    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud.
