Incorrect autofill email in safari

Hi
This has been driving me mad, I've checked google and the forum and find several references to autofill drawing the autofill email details from contacts, however I've checked that and I can't find the problem.
The issue is with my wife's email address, at some point in the past she has obviously mistyped her email address and safari has "remembered" that error and now autofill overtypes what she has typed this time with the incorrect version. Her error just misses one letter.
I've looked everywhere and can't find where the problem is, any help would be much appreciated
I'm using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2
Thanks
Adam

Hi
Unfortunately I've already tried this to no avail. I can't help wondering whether it is coming from somewhere else?. The erroneous data pops up in a sort of "speech bubble" with an x to the right hand side of it if I don't want to accept the autofill data
Thanks

When I try to send a link to a page from Safari, I get a message saying that sending the message to the server failed. It places a copy in the outbox. All other email and safari functions work properly. Ipad 2 IOS 7.1

My Ipad2 works fine except when I try to email myself a link to a safari webpage. I get an error message saying that the message failed to connect to the server. It says that a copy of the message has been left in the outbox. I cannot get the message from the outbox. All other email and safari functions work as expected.
I have cleared data and cookies, powered down, and done a reset. Nothing seems to help.

Typing in additional text seems to get the job done. This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest. Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
Thanks.

Email and safari disappeared

February 11, 2014 - Email and Safari have disappeared from my IPod Touch. By this I mean the icons are still there, but it opens only to a white screen. Everything was working this morning and then a couple of hours later they were gone. What is going on? How can this be fixed?

Okay, I figured how to fix it by rebooting the IPod. I held down the home button and the power button until the Apple logo appeared. When it appeared I stopped holding down the buttons and waited for the IPod to start up on its own. It took several seconds, but then finally clicked onto my home screen. I checked my mail and safari and they were both working again! I'm not sure why the problem occured. I read somewhere that Gmail was having some kind of "bug" problem, which might have caused a glitch perhaps.

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

When I compose an email in either gmail or yahoo, the cursor lags behind for about 2 seconds. This does not happen when I compose an email with Safari or Chrome. I am using a Mac with Firefox version 3.6.3. Any idea why this happens?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field)address is appearing

The incorrect iCloud email (in the from field) address is appearing on my iPod touch, but not on my MacBook Pro. The I Pod's ICloud email account is using my account for Itunes etc., not the icloud email address, how can I reset the "from" address?

ok thanks, so if I do nothing straight away, they won't free the address up and give it to someone else, correct?

How do I turn off autofill ios 8 safari?

i Don't want ios 8 safari to autofill from my bookmarks in the address bar. I've turned off autofill in the setting and it still does it.

If you are referring to the autofill feature in Safari then from the Safari menu: Safari>Preferences>Autofill.

How to set Outlook as default email in Safari?

I have Outlook which I use as my only email (do NOT want to use Apple mail for various reasons) and when I click on a link to send an email while in Safari it wants to use Apple mail. I don't see any options letting me change this in Safari. How can I set Outlook as my default email in Safari?

That does not change the default search engine.
I had already deleted google from the search bar.
Found the fix. Need to do the about:config - keyword.URL - change http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
to http://search.yahoo.com/

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Thanks for the suggestion.
A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
But thanks anyway.

TS3899 after updating to iOS 6 I can't open any email from safari?

Updated to ios 6 last night but now I can't check email on safari. It says I've timed out. But it says that no matter which email account I'm trying to use. Thanks

Well, I would still try it out on another network to perhaps isolate the issue to your own home Wi-Fi network. It nothing else, head to Settings -> Safari and clear out the cache, history, and cookies. Then reset your device by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Once you are connected to Wi-Fi again, try logging into those email accounts.

How do I delete an autofill email entry?

How do I delete an autofill email entry? Old and unused address keep coming up.

OK, on the iPhone, I see you can delete them one by one ...
When the list comes up, you can click on the blue arrow at the right of an individual's name. You will then see the option "Remove from Recents"

I am about to upgrade my eMac to the latest iMac. What can I do to transfer PPC software so the iMac can use my data such as email contacts, safari bookmarks, etc.?

I am about to upgrade from my eMac to the latest iMac. The eMac has given up the ghost at 10 years of age.
I have a full backup of my eMac so could use old email and safari contact/bookmarks,etc.
What is simplest way to do this?
Will the iMac distinguish between old PPC software and new Intel if I try to do a migration from old to new?
Can I use a flash drive to copy and paste required items from old to new?
All advice gratefully received.

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
1. Intel In Macs
2. Apple Guide to Universal Applications
3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
4. MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
5. MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
      or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
       registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
       desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
      Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
      wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Googling the error you reported found this:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-43873.html
from there, you can focus in on:
I've had the same problem, and with the help of this forum have resolved it. Here's the simple summary, condensed from Hogster's description of his troubleshooting in response to other posters' suggestions.
In your home,
Go to Library/Caches.
Probably you will discover that the Safari folder in there has a little padlock on the icon, indicating it is locked. This may have been done by Safari Enhancer or something else, to prevent caching and speed things up. But it interferes with certain uploading processes (my troubles were always with uploading photos to photo websites).
Select the Safari folder (inside ~/Library/Caches), and hit Apple-I (for GetInfo). Uncheck the "Locked" checkbox.
Problem should be solved! I did not find it necessary to logout and back in. Simply unchecking that one box was a complete fix for a problem that had been nagging me for months!
If this doesn't help, keep googling.
