Safari 3 Gmail auto-fill no longer working, latest Gmail software

Gmail now indicates that auto-fill (of email addresses) is not supported on Safari. They say it will work with Firefox. Auto fill worked fine until the last Gmail client update, plus Safari 3.
I feel it's in Apple's best interest to work this out with Google, quickly. Anybody else aware of this? I see multiple postings on Google's Gmail support site.

I noticed this yesterday but I swear it was working this last week and I have had Leopard and newest Safari on the machine since Oct. 30. I noticed Safari wasn't pre-filling like it used to and assumed it had to do with 1password which I have loaded up recently.
I hope Google and Apple get this worked out - I was just celebrating the fact that Safari is now able to let us use Google the way it should be used.

  • My Safari Auto fill forms never works

    My Safari (V5.0.1 (6533.17.8)) Auto fill forms never works. It is precisely tied to my
    address book card. I get this message:
    AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill.
    but every thing matches.
    And yes prefs checked to use address book.
    Any thoughts please? Thanks

    HI Steve,
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain.
    Relaunch Safari.
    Hope this helps...

  • Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

    Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

    Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
    Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • Safari Auto-fill URL Needs Work

    When I begin typing a previously visited website URL into the address field, that doesn't necessarily mean that I want to return to the same page of that site which I previously visited. That means, while it's nice to have the auto-fill (or auto-complete; whatever you call it) function, I would much rather it just autofill the homepage URL of that site. Even though a drop-down menu appears with suggested URLs, many of us just type and hit enter, only to find we've landed someplace else. Many times, previously visited pages have been changed or deleted and, instead of getting the all-too familiar 'Error 404' (page does not exist), I have to enter the URL again, and then delete the part of it that the auto-complete has erroneously guessed that I wanted. Take a tip from Netscape Navigator 4.72 for Mac: auto-complete ONLY the homepage URL... nothing more. Thanks.

    Hi Mike
    From other related threads, seems a number of users are waiting for something different from Apple in this area. Sending feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple is one effective way of reaching Apple Software Engineers.
    In the meantime, the only effective work-around is to press the space bar before typing the URL. Of course, no prompts appear, however, the long list doesn't appear either.

  • Safari 5.1.4 Lion auto-click no longer works for me

    I have a bookmarks folder on a MacBook Pro that is set to auto-click, it launches in tabs several sites that I look at every morning.
    I upgraded to 5.1.4 Lion last night, and this morning, the auto-click didn't work.
    It works with Safari 5.0.5 on the same machine.
    It works with Safari 5.1.3 on the same machine.
    It works with Safari 5.1.4 Snow Leopard on my iMac.

    Hi Steve,
    Try disabling the Lion "resume" feature...
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:  Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    Now go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac for changes to take effect then try Safari.

  • In Firefox, using gmail, 'Attach Files' no longer works.

    Am using FF 31.0, and when entering gmail I can no longer use the 'Attach Files' button after composing an email. I can drag and drop, but when sending jpgs it fills the recipients window with large graphics - which isn't useful.
    Logging into Chrome or IE and it works just fine - so I know it's solely a FF issue. Have also tried it on another PC with exactly the same response, so I know it's not my PC either. I've tried with all addons disabled, no difference, and the other PC isn't running any addons anyway.

    Try allowing pop up windows
    Open Menu
    Options
    Content (on the top)
    Click Exceptions...
    Type mail.google.com in address of website area
    Click Allow
    Try to open attachment window now.
    Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

  • Auto fill is not working

    ok, second question (still no free sex for a correct answer, sorry)
    My i-book G4, which I bought used, does not seem to have an auto fill capability. I have looked in System Preferences but do not see anything regarding autofill. Any ideas?
    Signed 'tired of typing my email addy' in Vermont

    I also have "Other Forms" checked in Safari, so that shouldn't keep it from working.
    I may be wrong about this, but I think autofill may work better on some sites than on others. It seems that with my mailing address, I have to fill it out manually sometimes, and other times it will autofill. Also, if you delete cookies, you have to fill in manually. At least in the OS I am running, which is not the one you would be running.
    Good luck!

  • My auto fill email never works

  • 2013 Safari not auto filling password

    Safari suddenly stopped auto filling userids and passwords.  I rechecked all of my "Auto Fill" preferences and they are fine.  It also is now saying that the password is changed and do I want to save the new one.  If I say Not Now I get signed in so perhaps the password keychain is corrupted; but, if I do say to save it, then the next time I sign in it still doesn't work.  Seems like Apple released a revision without testing everything.  Isn't that Microsoft's trick?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • IOS8 / Safari not auto filling alternate account info and password

    Hello,
    since upgrading to iOS8 on my iPad4, Safari no longer auto fills alternate account / password info on same website.  'Settings' shows that I have multiple login/pass infos available for the same site.
    PReviously, I could initiate the first couple letters of the account name, and the option to have Safari auto populate the rest of the info would be available.

    I should also mention I am not in private mode.

  • Auto Fill does not work

    I have a new iMac with Lion OSX. In Safari, I checked the box for auto fill to populate my demographic info in websites from Address Book. It does not work. Any suggestions?

    I am still using Snow Leopard on my iMac. I've done all that with the address book and Safari autofill preferences. I've had it that way for years, but in recent times, it seems to be completely useless, as every time I try to autofill a web form, all I get is this error dialog:
    "AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill"
    Luckily, I use 1Password3 and don't have to rely on the random usability of the Safari autofill feature, but it would be good to know just what happened to make it so useless.

  • Safari Javascript on iPad2 no longer works 8.2 and 8.3

    Since updating myiPad2 to 8.2 and later 8.3, javascript elements in websites viewed with Safari and Chrome no longer work. I can successfully view/use these same websites on another iPad with an older IOS.
    Here's what  have tried so far:
    -soft reset (home+power)
    -clear safari cache/website data
    -forget network
    -toggle javascript on and off
    -every combination of the above
    -upgrade to 8.3 and repeat all of the above
    Does anyone have anything to add that I could try?
    Thank you.

    @sean0826 -- this is why you don't use Java menus. Even javascript menus are a bad idea; you need to have a secondary menu system ANYTIME you have a menu system that requires a plugin or scripting to be active. NOT EVERYONE browses with that stuff on.
    The only thing you can do for now is FTP to your site and add in static menus (like we did in the "old days" at the bottom of the page; or rip out the Java Menus and install static or CSS versions.
    BTW where are you rmenus supposed to be. I have opera, safari, ff, and a few others. they all look the same. So if that's true, it's the plugin that's the problem, not safari.
    In Opera Pogo.com works. java loads, the game is there. It does have some drawing issues but not surprised.
    In Safair Pogo works fine. Just played a game of chess.

  • Mythtv, auto shutdown no longer working, scheduler.cpp ?

    Following a recent update the automatic shutdown of my backend is no longer working (well, at least not reliably).
    I have 3 scripts set up in the relevant sections of the mythtv-setup to check if myth is ok to shut down, set the new wakeup time and perform the actual shutdown. These scripts still work alright, but the backend is not initiating the shutdown any more in some cases.
    Lots of trial and error makes me think that this is somehow related to scheduler.cpp, but I am not sure if this is the case or how to fix it.
    I think I have established a pattern:
    Scenario 1:
    - Boot backend
    - do nothing else (e.g. start remote frontend or mythfrontend on the backend)
    - automatic shutdown does not work
    Scenario 2:
    - Boot backend
    - start remote frontend
    - shut down frontend
    - automatic shutdown does not work
    - restart backend service (without reboot)
    - automatic shutdown works
    I also notice that in scenario 2 (when automatic shutdown works) there are a whole heap of these kind of messages right until shutdown occurs:

    In scenario 2 (successful) I see the following in the log just before the above auto expire stuff:
    Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2307 (HandleRunSchedulerStartup) - Scheduler: Seem to be woken up by USER
    then a whole heap of auto expiry stuff and finally:
    Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2862 (CheckShutdownServer) - CheckShutdownServer returned - OK to shutdown

    In scenario 1 (unsuccessfull shutdown) I also get
    Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2307 (HandleRunSchedulerStartup) - Scheduler: Seem to be woken up by USER
    and then autoexpiry, but then, once a frontend connects:
    ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1385 (HandleAnnounce) - adding: frontend as a client (events: 0)
    I don't get autoexpiry of files and no shutdown, both of which I believe are initiated by scheduler.cpp
    I also noticed the following in the logs when auto shutdown does not work:
    2013-04-29 15:40:36.046359 I [648/848] ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1385 (HandleAnnounce) - adding: mythbackend as a client (events: 1)
    which does not seem to appear in the logs when auto shutdown works.
    Any ideas ? I have found very little (next to none) regarding scheduler.cpp when searching.

    The other side of the VPN is a TMG server hosted at our main office.  I can connect to it off site, and others were connected to it remotely as well, but for some reason users at that remote site can no longer connect to the VPN.
    I talked to my ISP wondering if there was something that was blocked due to the change from dhcp to static IP addresses, but they don't see anything.

  • My iphone 4s mails, safari, facebook and apps no longer work all of a sudden

    I got this problem from yesterday. When I open mails or safari or any applications they would close all of sudden.
    even my messages no longer works and I can't send a text to anyone.
    When I go to settings everything seems fine and ios 6 is up to date, in the mail and contact settings though it says they are synching somewhere.
    It shouldn't be by my macbook pro, cause there was never such a problem plus in my itunes on my mac I didn't check the box for synching mail and contacts.
    The new thing that I've done yesterday is that I set up a hp touch desktop with win8 in which I set up mail app and google chrome account.
    on google chrome it said it would sync my bookmarks and .. from all other devices.
    Could that be the reason that my iphone is so cracked now?
    It is kind of nonsense though.
    plz help me

    I know for a fact apple doesn't want carriers fixing their phones. My carrier even warned me that they can't fix the phones only apple stores can fix them. Well guess what I just wasted my whole day by driving to an apple store they "fixed" my phone I got home and it started doing the same **** things they didn't fix **** now I have to waste even more time by finding a ups store to ship my phone to apple so that means I'm going to be out of a phone for over a week because they never fixed it or replaced it like they should have. I'm so upset with apple that if this new phone does the same things were dropping apple and are going to samsung. I wasted 4 hours driving and $40 in gas and 6 hours of my time for nothing. Apple needs to put in more store around the country if their not going to let the carriers fix the phones them selves.

  • Safari 3 auto-fill different behavior?

    It seems that in earlier versions when I went to a password login page that was stored in auto-fill, the number would automatically fill in when loading the page. Now it seems that I need to at least enter the first character into the login field and then a little drop-down appears allowing me to choose it, even if there is only one choice. Then the password automatically gets filled in. This is annoying to me as I don't always remember the login I've used. Can someone confirm that this change has happened or am I doing something wrong?

    For whatever reason it appears the password field you are interested in is being treated as a choice field instead of a password field. Although the behavior for password fields has not changed (I think) the behavior for choice fields HAS changed.
    It used to be that your last choice used was pre-filled into the choice field when you went to the page, and before you typed ANYTHING into that field. Also if you started typing, choices that matched what you had typed so far used to show up in most recently used order with the field autofilled to the one most recently used that matched what you have typed so far.
    The behavior now, apparently, is that the choice field is NOT pre-filled (if you have typed more than one choice into that field before, and if you start typing the list shows items matching what you have typed so far in sorted order instead of most recently used order -- which makes it less likely that the one on the top of the list is the one you want.
    You can edit the Autofill records in Safari for any given web page to make it forget about previous choices, and then the next time you type in the value for a field on that page it will be recorded as your only choice (so far). But that's kind of crufty.
