Address bar won't remember addresses

Hi,
This morning I cleared my history and my cookies and all that. I cleared everything out.
Now the address bar won't remember anything I type into it. I don't want the stupid feature that completes what you're typing, I just want the FF address bar to remember google and facebook so I don't have to keep typing them in every time I want to.
It worked fine this morning, and I don't know how to fix it.
Please help! I've had an insanely bad day and this whole thing is just making me want to cry now.

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My address bar won't stay open.

I just installed the new firefox and now my address bar won't stay open. My husband who just installed it has no problems. How do i fix this?

You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails. 
That takes the control from Firefox to do the normal keyword search like a Google I'm Lucky search. 
In such cases you need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature.
You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.

You can also consider to use anther DNS server.

Won't remember ONE password

Firefox remembers almost all passwords but ONE only it refuses to remember or rather does not give me the option of remembering. It is for a gmail account and should not give a problem. The only possible reason that I can think of is that I put in the wrong password many times after changing my email address. Could this account for it? Suggestions?

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically. 
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server. 
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

You can remove all stored data from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar).
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions from that domain, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from that "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

MBP won't remember keyboard shortcut

Ok everytime i reboot my macbook pro,
system preferences won't remember one of my binded shortcuts; it always unchecks -> Desktop (reveals desktop).
i use alt + space for this shortcut, but no matter what other combinations i try, sys pref keeps unchecking the shortcut on every reboot.
i use this shortcut a lot so this is really irritating for me when i have to go into system preferences to check it back on every reboot.
the mac geniuses at the genius bar weren't much help either.
anyone know what could be causing this?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

No idea sorry, I use iKey to program function keys, scripts etc. and it works fine.

My ipod touch 4th gen won't remember passwords

HI everyone,
my ipod touch used to remember passwords, then I had to change some that expired, so I told it to 'forget' passwords, now it won't remember the new ones!
how can I fix that?
thank you

well, that didn't fix it.
it is more frustrating because the right side letters don't type o portrait orietation, and the school logon screen doesn't go to landscape when I turn it, so I have put my passwords and school id in the notepad so I can copy and paste everyday I am at school
new suggestion??

I downloaded IOS 6 and now it won't remember names and passwords

I recently downloaded IOS 6 for IPhone 4 and now it won't remember names and passwords for websites I frequently visit. It used to remember prior to the download. Any suggestions?

You could unplug your router than plug it back in. You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.

G5 iMac OS 10.4.8 won't remember passwords

My computer won't remember passwords, even though I click the appropriate box. Microsoft Entourage is the program where ethis is most inconvenient. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

You're not alone.
I had to buy a card reader yesterday. This is obviously a 10.4.8 / 6.0.5 issue.

Help PC won't remember key after reboot

I had to reinstall my wrt54g2 wireless router because it was unpluged for 2 months. When I select the wireless network I want and enter the key it will not let me add it to favorites so when I reboot I have to enter the key again. I have pressed the little red reset and uninstalled and reinstalled the easylink advisor but still won't remember the key.

Whats the Wireless Settings you have setup on your Router (SSID, Channel, Security Mode)? Whats the OS installed on your PC? Are you able to get connected to your wireless network ?

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie that you must allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".

10.5.6 won't remember display resolution...

My first mac.
I will set my screen resolution to 800x500 but when I shutdown and restart it gets set to 800x600.
Can anyone confirm this?
MacBook (Intel GMA X3100 chipset)
Thanks!

I called apple support to ask why my macbook won't remember certain display resolutions after rebooting. A tech advised modifying my "com.apple.Boot.plist" file with the following but it didn't work:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key> <--- I added this
<string>800×500×32</string> <--- I added this
</dict>
</plist>
Can somebody tell me what's wrong with the above? Or perhaps somebody can lead me to some other method for loading a specific resolution at startup rather than having to manually change it every time after booting.
Thanks!

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

Won't remember my auto log in password for SKY...have to manually insert password every time. all other sites are OK..

whenever I use SKY for my email [ many time a day] - ([email protected]) Firefox won't remember my password (it's in settings - show passwords - so I know its there..) So every time I have to enter it manually - it's becoming a bit of a pain....
All other sites I access using passwords (YouTube / eBay ect) ALL auito log in properly - I've tried deleting from the saved password list and adding again but it still won't auto log in..what's up...???

Try this if you met the same problem
Syndrome:
The wireless network name appeared on the System Preference>Network>Airport>Advanced>Preferred Networks List, but every time when start computer or wake up, a popup window said "None preferred network is available" and ask me to select a new net work, if I select the same network, the password is there. The system keychain can remember the password but System preference cannot remember the Preferred/Joined wireless network.
Reason:
Fix to this problem that strangely centred on the specific location of the “System Preferences.app”, if other than the standard location of the root of the “Applications” folder.
If you have moved the System Preferences application (not alias, actual app) to any other location for any reason, your newly joined preferred network will NOT be properly remembered and will NEVER be properly rejoined.
Solution:
1) Move “System Preferences.app” back to “Applications\”.
2) Delete all instances of “Preferred Networks” in “Network Preferences”.
3) Delete all “Airport network password” instances in “Keychain Access”.
4) Restart your Mac.
5) Add/Join applicable preferred network using the Airport pulldown menu or in Network Preferences (as if for the first time). Use “Advanced” in “Network Preferences” to confirm the existence of your preferred network and the correct settings. Use “Keychain Access” to confirm the existence of the applicable “Airport network password” instance and the correct settings.
6) Restart your Mac. The OS should now find your preferred network and join it on its own. Good Luck!
NOTE: Simply moving back System Preferences will NOT suffice. Deleting and re-adding/joining the preferred network is a must after the app has been moved.

Won't remember my login info???

9.01 won't remember my login info... at least not the password.
Any tip ?
And is there some way to tell iTunes I am 64 years old and am permitted to hear harsh language without checking a box every time I download an app that has access to the Internet? I am the only user of this mac and I login with a password... how stupid is this... if I were 13 years old, I would just check "yes" I am 18, show me the ****!!!
thanks,
tom

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.
