URL bar autofill - how to turn off

When I start to type a URL in the URL box in Safari a drop down list appears of visited sites. How do I edit or delete this list. I tried to reset safari and also turn off auto fill but these methods don't work.
Any Ideas.
Cheers
Steven

Hello Memoire,
First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
* There are a lot of Urls that come along during the Installation of Safari, the automatic build in Urls. They keep showing every time you type any address into the address bar, an this can be very annoying. To get rid of these Auto Urls go into the Bookmark storage, thats the little open book on your left side. Open it, now search for ALL these Urls you don't need, like movies, shopping, music etc ... etc ...
After you finish, go to the Safari Menu Bar an clear the History, also go to: User/Your_Name/Library/Safari/History.plist trash this file. A new one will be regenerated as soon you visit the web.
Use a 3th party application like OnyX to clear History, recent visit Servers, caches etc ... etc ... this is FREE ware, you can download it here:
OnyX
Let me know if so ...
Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

How to turn off Flex Time

Hi I am just wondering how to turn off flex time as it gets in the way.

There's a little button on the left by the word "Audio Region"
If the EVIL FLEX TIME is on, that little icon next to "Audio Region" will be twisted like a bow-tie indicating that the EVIL FLEX TIME has been activated.
To move audio you have to select the top bar of the clip in this lower audio region (you can see the name of the track or the time code of the track). You can drag-highlight-delete audio from under the "0" line, but not move it. You can also clumsily-and-not-at-all-precisely move audio in the upper tracks (as opposed to the Audio Region window) by dragging them. That won't engage EVIL FLEX TIME at all.
Hope that helps.
:S
I know... it all stinks and now it looks like the latest Garageband update messes it all up even more!
OY!

You do not want your EDGE signal?
Manage Connections > Mobile Network > turn off your mobile data.
Now, try only using WiFi and data, such as using the browser. Does that work?

How to turn off automatic correction on text message?

How to turn off automatic correction on text message?

At this time I don't think there is a way to turn it off. the software will learn new words and shortcuts you use when typing as you go. To do this type in the word/phrase and then hit the x when the suggested word pops up or tap on the word to keep what you have. Then hit the space bar and type away, it should have added that word to its dictionary and if you type it again it shouldn't offer up a new word instead.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just disable it -
Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
