Whenever I log on to a website (Ex: gmail, facebook) a drop down menu of the past usernames shows up. How do I delete them and or get rid of that feature?
For example, every time I log onto facebook, a huge dropdown menu shows up under the area where I enter my username. In this dropdown menu, all of the usernames that have been used before on my computer show up. The same thing happens with gmail, yahoo mail, and any other website that requires usernames.
How do I make the names go away? Getting rid of the dropdown list OR clearing the history of names would be fine.
Take a look in the System folder. Usually there is only a Library folder, but when installations have cleanup, there may be another folder in the System folder that is accessed at the restart. If that is the case, you might want to move that folder to your desktop and see what a normal restart does.

On the internet when using Firefox, the drop down menu on recently visited sites (where you type in web addresses), does not work. How can I get it drop down and show websites that I recently visited, so I can click on them there instead of retyping them every time?
Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I have already used the erase history option but that does not erase locations just the history from search options ect...
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

How to add my drop down menu to my website
I have been following a dreamweaver video to create a drop down menu with pure css which has turned out great. My problem is when you follow a video I followed the instructions and started a new html and then attached the css styles to the new html called "dropdownmenu". But as I don't know how to put it in my index page. I understand that css is the rules but how to I get it in my website. Most prob an easy one for all you experts out there!
I hope someone will help me please.
Thanks Karen
Oh im useing cs5.5Thank you very much for taking you time to answer me. I have managed to do this but I get a bit confused with the files so I hope you can just help on this one!
I went to duplicate the dropdown.css file and put it in my css folder but the file was already there, also a link was in the css file altough it did not have "media=screen". I duplicated the dropdown.css and put it in my dropdown.html, not sure if that is right. This is how I have set out my files. Folder - dropdown
-navMenu.html
-dropdown.css
Folder - css
- dropdown.css
-styles.css
My index page link between the "head" is <link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> ----so am I right in saying that the styles.css is determing the index page at mo and any future pages if I want.
And the link from the navMenu.html is <link href="../css/dropdown.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />------and this is getting the information from the dropdown css.
If I am correct do I need both copies of the dropdown.css? I hope this is nice and clear for you!
Once again thank you very much for your help.... it is very much appreciated! I spend most of my time learning from youtube and don't really like to bother people but after an hour of scratching my head I gave up! -

Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
How can I stop this? This just started happening.
I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
Firefox 3.0.17
Windows XP
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 Firefox/3.0.17A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

Drop down menu missing in every website
Any drop-down menu on website works "fine" but the render was wrong.
When clicked, nothing could be shown but only the drop-back shadow.
It just like the menu become total transparent.
PS: any white colored firefox menu, "New tab""Print""Developer", has the same problem.
Everything will be all right in safe mode,tried to disabled all addons/plugins,reseted setings,be do not help at all.
PS2: Changing theme could fix this problemDisabling hardware acceleration did indeed fix the problem, thanks! Unfortunately, I'm on a Thinkpad and Lenovo is very slow at getting the latest driver updates out. I too have the latest available driver.
This is still an issue Mozilla should try to resolve if folks like me and Mike are on the newest available drivers for our systems.
Also, it looks like the problem's been around since at least 3.6.6: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/716983 -
How do I un-delete a website from the drop down menu?
I deleted a website from the awesome bar before. Now I want that website to appear on the drop down menu again. I visit it almost everyday but I cannot see it on the awesome bar. How can I fix this?
Hi thankyou,
If it was removed it may no longer be listed, however if you have visited the site again I am guessing two things are happening if it does not show up:
#The settings for your url bar have changed, check to make sure that history is checked in the Location bar settings about:preferences#privacy
#[[Remove websites from the Awesome Bar suggestions]]

I'm using my new imac and now my safari is redirecting me to a russian search engine which is "yandex.ru" !! I can only enter a few websites without being redirected... !!! is that a virus and if yes how can I delete it and get! Do I have to have Anti virus !
Please help me ASAP!
Thanks
Deesafari is redirecting me
Dee....
It's not a virus.
Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is redirecting your browser. Use Open DNS to avoid that. Open DNS adds security and anti phishing filters and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.

The drop down box on my address bar shows a website I know I have not gone to recently. Most recent access on this website was probably about 1 year ago. My settings for clearing browser history are set for 20 days, though! (I think, I'm not very literate at this stuff) Why did this happen? It is very important for me to have an explanation for how this could have happened.
Maybe a addon? Have you tried safe mode to see if its a addon, test if those suggestions come in safe mode, see the article below.

Whenever i open iTunes it tells me that 2 of my downloads cannot be completed because the file may be corrupted. I cannot get rid of this message or complete the downloads. Other downloads worked. What can i do to get rid of this warning message or complete the downloads?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer. -
How do i delete only 1 of 2 account+password that was saved for a website? (My library
Some websites have a login id and password., which firefox will save. You can go on the site and enter another id+password and firefox now saves both, and gives you a selection box the next time you visit the site. How can i delete one of these (but leave the second one active)?
I am suspecting Apple have made a change since I last had to do this and have caused a FUBAR. If you read http://store.apple.com/uk/help/downloads?mco=MTM3NDgzNTM we are all doing it the right way but the option is not being listed when it should.
As I read the above document and as I recall from the past, we should be seeing a Software download option on the main account page of the Apple webstore once you have logged in and this option should automatically be listed if your account has been previously used to purchase downloadable software.
I suspect either they have incorrectly cleared older than 18month order data from accounts rather than merely not giving an option to list older orders, or that as part of the move to the App Store for downloads they have change the process and as a result messed things up.
I would suggest the following to you all.
If possible find your email confirmation of the original order to use as evidence
Ring the Apple Store phone line
It is possible the Apple Store person will be able to see older orders than the website is allowing you to see and they will be able to trace your original order
They may choose to solve the problem by giving you a credit for a new purchase
