Turning off contact address auto-fill

Anyone know how to turn off the auto-fill for calendar entries? Entering customer appointments into iCal for contacts in my address book takes forever when it has to predict who it might be. Plus, if I select that particular contact, it won't show the address, only show "Tom's work" as the location.
Thanx!

Tom .. No, I was just using google. Not http etc.
I really think that was enough last week. We messed with some of
the network settings lately in an attempt to set up ethernet connection
to old machine. I bet that is what changed things.
Yang .. I did what you said. No Joy! Thanks anyway.
How does this work for other tiger users?
Maybe I'm wrong about it working last week?
Typing .com every time isn't the end of the world. But
it would be nice if the Imac would do it.
Later....Johnny

Turn off contacts in Screen Sharing

Quick question,
I use screen sharing quite frequently, is there a way to disable names from my address book from showing in the Connect to window?

It will delete them from your device but not from iCloud. Also, when you turn contacts off, you will get a prompt asking you if you want to keep them on your device. If you choose Keep on My iDevice, a copy will stay on your device. It will still include your mom's contacts though so you will need to go through and delete her contacts from your device afterwards. Caution: be sure NOT to delete her contacts from your device before you turn off contact syncing with iCloud. If you do, you will delete her contacts everywhere and they will be lost.

You seem to have found the right setting. From my notes:
Add the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/search/webapp/config/search.properties and then restart oc4j:
ses.qapp.similar_doc_handling=disabled
Maybe you didn't restart oc4j (using "searchctl restart")?

Unable to turn off contacts in the device icloud account

Contacts Sync and Turning Off Contacts

iPhone 5, latest iOS
iTunes and iPhone set for WiFi sync and both are logged into iCloud.
PROBLEM: Changes to iPhone contacts never seem to sync. When I attempt to turn off Contacts under iPhone, choosing to keep contacts on phone, I receive a message that it's "Turning Off Contacts ...".
This never goes away, and I have to for the Contacts app to quit.
Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

Thanks for the quick reply.
So, followed your suggestions. First thing I noticed was that after deleting data from iPhone, contacts were still on my iPhone. Not sure how to delete contacts all at once, so that's another question.
Second, I logged back in to iCloud after deleting the iCloud account as you recommended. After doing so, I turned Contacts back on ... and it started ... and asked to Merge which I did. No joy.
I did back up from MacBook Air Contacts app first, but it appears I am confused about iCloud and On My Mac.
I now show no iCloud contacts even though I've now reimported the backup contacts into my laptop's Contacts.
Unless iCloud is way way behind in syncing at the moment, I have nothing in iClould contacts now.

HT204266 there is no turn off button for auto renewal so how do I turn it off

there is no turn off button for auto renewal so how can I turn it off?

Hello there, mophx.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up information on how to downgrade iCloud Storage on your iOS device:
iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4874
Downgrade your iCloud storage plan
You can decrease the amount of storage by selecting a new plan right from your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, or PC (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 200 GB plan). The downgrade will take effect after your current monthly or annual subscription ends.
iOS
If you're using iOS 8, go to Settings > iCloud Storage > Change Storage Plan. If you're using an earlier version of iOS, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Change Storage Plan.
Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Tap Done.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Turn off contacts

My Mac Apps to not handle contacts well and I have syncing problems too. On both my iphone and ipod if I turn off contacts in the icloud settings the wheel will turn until I turn the device off - then it will still show as "ON" when I turn it back on. I am not being impatient - I cn leave them all night plugged in the power and the wheel will still be turning in the morning. Short of resetting the device - again - anybody got a tip?

I am experiencing the same problem with both Ipad and iPhone, no problem with outlook and Mac.
I tried your sugestion but still having the same problems.
Thanks in advance.

Can't delete Unwanted Email addresses, Auto-fill in saves them all !

How do I delete Unwanted Email addresses?
Auto-fill in saves them all !
When I start a new email, every email address I've
ever written to pops up (To:) This greatly increases my
chances of sending a new email to the wrong person.
.....there's got to be a way to delete just the addresses
I don't want !....but where & how ?

I am also looking for a way purge the email addy autofill of old contacts that no longer exist. Many a family and friends have since changed their E-mail addy's, I have deleted their old addy's from contacts, yet the iPhone autofill still manages to hang on to those in some stored cache that is NOT accessible to purge or delete! This is something I've struggled with regarding the iPhone since my first iPhone months after it originally released years ago, have since owned a few other iPhones as they progressed, currently an iPhone 4, on os 4.01, same issue persists. Have restored my phones, started from new during some restores, etc, those old defunct E-mail addy's still autofill!
I sync with my iMac yet do not even have my mail client set up on the iMac, never have since we bought the iMAc, web based E-mail only, so this issue has nothing to do with mail client on the computer it syncs to.
It would be nice if someone from Apple would reply with acknowledgment that they are indeed aware of this and hopefully it is on their to-do list.
Regards,
Paul

Yahoo mail address auto-fill lists everyone ever included in every e-mail I've ever sent/received

At least that's what it seems like....
FF (29.0.1)
Re Yahoo mail: When entering a recipient for an e-mail the auto-fill drop down shows possible matches well in excess of my contacts. It includes anyone that I have ever sent/rec'd and all the addresses that were also cc'd in those e-mails.
From what I have read on Yahoo boards the suggestions are generated from the browser's stored data (ie. it's a browser problem not a Yahoo Mail problem). I have FF options set to delete all history (browse/download/cache/forms/search/cookies/logins/pwds/offlinedata) each time FF closes.
I am able to delete unwanted suggestions one at a time but as a practical approach that is beyond ridiculous.
Does FF keep a master list of part addresses? If so, how do I delete all except my current contacts?
THANKS!

Firefox doesn't store email addresses except as form data; data that you typed previously into Firefox.
See if clearing form history solves that problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-firefox-automatically-fills-in-forms?esab=a&s=clear+form+data&r=5&as=s#w_clearing-form-history Clearing form history]

HT4901 How to turn off Contacts in iCloud on a PC?

I have a need to stop Contacts from comunicating with iCloud from my PC with windows 7 how can I do this without turning off any other app in iCloud

You can't just stop contacts syncing on your PC. You would have to turn off iCloud syncing with your PC for mail, calendars and tasks too.

Clearing email addresses/ auto fill in mail

When I'm composing an email on my ipad2, I may press the "D" button. Then, in a drop down menu, all email addresses that ive sent emails to show up that start with the letter D(similar to how google try's to predict what your going to search for). Is there a way to clear out the email addressees or stop them from trying to auto fill? My account that my ipad2 uses is a gmail account. I've tried to go through the gmail settings but nothing found so far....any help would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't. It will eventually push of the line unless Apple change things in the interim.

[SOLVED] How can I turn off the annoying auto indent tabs in VIM?

I'm coding in Python and VIM is auto-tabbing each new line. It's a real buzz kill.
When I hit enter at the left margine, even when there is nothing on the line above the cursor, it shoots out a tab and three spaces. I've switched to nano but feel lost without VIM. I've never seen this behavior before. I've turned off all of the auto indentation options I can think of.
***** begin .vimrc *****
set noautoindent
set nosmartindent
set noindentexpr
set nocindent
***** end .vimrc *****
Thanks!
[UPDATE]
I wish I could delete this post. ... anyway... the solution was:
set indentexpr=''

Unfortunately, I have to do a ":set indexexpr='' " each time I start VIM. I've got it in the .vimrc but it seems to be ignored.
I'm used to Ubuntu and this feels really weird. It's like profiles aren't processed.
I would appreciate it if somoeone would point me in the correct direction.

Address auto fill

I've just done a clean re-install of Snow Leopard. I replaced the user-->Library-->Mail folder with the one from my previous system. My email addresses won't auto fill though. Which file or folders do I need from my old system to get this to happen?
Thanks.
Dennis

Thanks James,
I replaced the users-->Library-->Applications Support-->Address Book folder with the one from my previous system and that did the trick.
