Wrong contacts used by Auto Fill

My wife and I share our MacBook Air, each with our own profile. When I use Auto Fill for any web site it always uses my wife's contact info and I can't seem to change the Auto Fill to use my contact details. Changing to OS X Yo

In addition to question posed. I have tried opening contacts, selecting card and make this my card with no joy.

  • Mine USED to auto-fill

    Mine USED to auto-fill a known name within a cell. i.e... If I already had entered a name, just starting the name again would show choices to auto-fill the cell.  It does not do that anymore.  Why?
    Also another item... if I place a name in a cell followed by a number, i.e. John 27... when I "Fill Down" the column it continues the number sequence, i.e. John 28, John 29, John 30, etc, etc.  How do I stop this action? I don't recall this ever happening before.
    Please respond asap.
    Thanks, john

    Hi John,
    "if I place a name in a cell followed by a number, i.e. John 27... when I "Fill Down" the column it continues the number sequence, i.e. John 28, John 29, John 30, etc, etc.  How do I stop this action"
    Here are two ways:
    Use a formula to generate the multiple copies:
    ="John 27"
    Fill down, Copy, then go Edit > Paste values.
    Enter the value into the first cell.
    Click the cell to select it. Copy.
    Select all cells to receive that value. Paste.

  • Mac Mail contacts no longer auto filling in the 'to' field

    I have suddenly lost the ability to have the contacts from my account in my contacts program auto fill int he 'TO' section of Mac Mail
    Yosemite 10.10.2
    the contacts are there in Contacts and they were auto addressing as I typed a few letters now they are not.
    Then when I go to prefs in Mail I can't select all contacts in Compose.
    Why did I loose this auto feature all of a sudden,
    how do I set Compose to use All Contacts for all my accounts
    "Send new messages from" has no selection for ALL CONTACTS.
    THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.

    Ok, I don't know if I can do this but I'm gonna reply and explain how I fixed my problem.
    Seems my main email contacts,  I exported my ALL CONTACTS to Gmail and now in my Gmail account the address's show up with just the first couple of letters in the address.

  • How do you get auto fill to use the right E-mail address?

    Hi Everyone
    My address book card has multiple E-mail addresses on it. Yet when I want to use auto fill to fill out a form, 100% of the time it's just one address I want to use. The problem is safari always uses only one of the addresses and it's not the one I want to use. Is there a way to change which address (or any other field) from your address card is used in auto fill?
    TIA
    K

    Since you don't say how many email addresses you have on your own card or which of them it's picking, I'll assume it's choosing the first one in the list. If that's correct and it's not the one you want, you need to change the order of addresses to make the one you want be the first one in the list.
    Other than that, you cannot set a default item for any field.

  • Save the password but disable the auto fill

    Hi All,
    I have a typical requirement in ff 3.5.15, where i want to save the password for any login. but i do not want to use the auto fill for filling the password automatically.
    In short , i want to use the password save option but disable autofill . Is it posible.
    Thanks in advance

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name
    Set the pref signon.autofillForms to false on the about:config page.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Script to auto-fill password?

    Any idea if there's a script I could use to auto-fill password in the ultra-annoying username/password prompt?
    I asked Apple if I could circumvent this and they said no.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Passwords
    and delete the password(s) for the site in question, after making a note of them. The next time you log in to the site, save the password in the keychain. Test.

  • Yahoo e-mail will not allow me to add contacts and will not auto fill e-mail addresses, and now I'm having trouble downloading Adobe documents from my bank. All of these problems can be solved by using Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox.

    I get an error message when trying to add new contacts and it is suggested I try back later, also when sending an e-mail the address I wish to send an e-mail to will no longer auto-fill. This has been a problem for sometime, maybe a month. The last problem I had was trying to download my March bank statement, in Adobe. If I switch to Internet Explorer I can accomplish these tasks. I am using Yahoo on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
    It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

  • 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
