All my automatic logins no longer work

There are various sites where I have always been 'permanently' online - i.e. I never have to login, and each time I activate a link to that site, I'm there. For example, Twitter, Amazon, various hobby or discussion forums, etc.
The last two or three days, this has all changed - clicking a stored link takes me either to the page I expect to be (but in a 'not logged in' state), or to the site's default login screen. In other words, I have to login EVERYWHERE! (Yes, I always have to re-login to these Apple Discussions after closing the window, but that's always been the case, and I'm not including that in this problem).
Gradually I am using Autofill (Passwords) to provide me with a one-click solution to this, but better still would be not having to login at all, i.e. revert to my permanently logged in status for those sites where it has always been true.
I have in the past Reset Safari.., but these days I only choose to Clear Cache and Cookies. Neither of these have ever affected whether automatic logins work, so that's not the cause of this problem.
Any idea why this has happened? What can I do to cure it?

Hi,
Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete all the keychains for the sites you mentioned.
Relaunch Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure *User names and passwords* is selected.
Navigate to a site. Type in your user name and password. You will be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Next time you re visit that site, it should "autofill" for you.
If that didn't help, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac. Launch Safari and try logging in to a site again.

Facetime login no longer works

Facetime login no longer works.

Signing In.. stays for ever.
No problem signing in with my Apple ID in iTunes or any Web Browser.
By the way I didn't mistype anything in case you wanted to ask.
It seems every time Apple tries to merge an iPhone app with OS X it creates problems.

An additional note... I realized later that the iCloud id with which I was signed into the MacBook was now different ([email protected]), when I got errors trying to sign into FaceTime with [email protected] However, when I sign into FaceTime using [email protected] (same as the iCloud login), FaceTime works fine.

The "Quit all applications" key combination no longer works in Lion

The standard Mac OS key combination to "quit all applications" no longer works in Lion. It only quits some of them some of the time - not all of them all of the time. Could this have something to do with the other "no Save-As" problem?
Either way, it's yet another backwards step - one of several in Lion that are cumulatively slowing down and intefering with my workflow.
I fear someone may jump in here and explain that this is one of the great new features and that it's my fault for being too dumb to appreciate it.....

Require that all senders are authenticated no longer working

Hello,
I've already mentioned it in another thread, but maybe it's an update-issue in stead of server issue.
My problem: It seems (well, it doesn't work anymore, so it's an issue) that the option "Require that all senders are authenticated" on 'Distribution Group' not longer works. I really don't know why this happends and when it doesn't work anymore,
because it did work when creating the group (and the updates weren't available).
The situation (so maybe there's another option to find out what causes the problem):
Pineapp -> Exchange 2007 SP2 Rollup 4. The pineapp is being used before I installed updates of Exchange (and it did work with this setup), so in my opinion, this can't be the problem.
If someone could help me, or point me to a (new) direction so I can solve the problem with our Exchange server, that would be great :).

Update: When sending an email to the used distribution group, I get an bounce with 'authentication required'. When sending
an email to the user in the same group, the email is delivered in stead of bounced.
This is normal. You only enabled the "Require that all senders are authenticated" on 'Distribution Group', but the users in the same group do not have
"Require that all senders are authenticated" enabled. So the users outside of your domain still can send the mail to the users without authentication.
To batch enable the "Require that all senders are authenticated" for the users, you can use the following method:
1. Create a organizational Unit (OU), move the users to this OU.
2. Open EMS, type:
Get-mailbox -OrganizationalUnit |set-mailbox -requireSenderAuthenticationEnable:$true

Why do all of my apps no longer work?

So....
this morning all of my downloaded apps stopped working. The icons are still there but initiating any of them results in seeing the apps initial screen and then promptly being returned to the iPhone icon panes (home).
It appears to not have affected the native apps the phone came with, only those I've downloaded. But why would they just all of a sudden not work? Some of these apps I've had for a month or two.
As an aside, the last app I downloaded was a few days ago, and at that point all apps still worked. Nothing else has changed as far as I know.
Thoughts?

Reboot your phone. You can power it down by holding the power button for 5 seconds or until you see the red slider that says "Power down". If this doesn't happen then force it to shut down by holding the power and home button down simultaneously for 8 seconds.
Rebooting usually takes care of it for me. This occasionally happens when some (non-Apple) application left the phone in an unstable state.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 Norton IS site logins no longer work, even though they are running, they do not auto load. Is FF not being recognised after the update ?? ??

Normally when i open FF the Norton IS login manager kicks in automatically and completes all the various site logins.
'''However '''since the update to FF4, even though Norton IS 2011 is running the login manager is not working, it's as if FF4 is not being recognised as my browser any longer.
There must be a fix for this; if not i'll be forced to revert to the previous version of FF
New'ish system i3, Win 7, MS Office, Norton IS 2011, Firefox 4.0

You are almost correct in your assumption Norton needs updating to FF4
You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here:

Automatic shutdown no longer works as before

Since installing Mountain Lion the shutdown at a specific time seems to only work when the computer is awak. With Lion my computer would shutdown at 10 pm everyday and start back up at 4pm when I returned from work all ready for me. But with Mountaion Lion it never does this. Testing this reviles that it only works if the computer is awake. So I wil have to make sure my computer never goes to sleep (where's the engery savings in that?) or no longer use the automatic shut down feature and just shut it down when I'm finished like I had to do in the 90's with Windows. I'm really hoping this is not the new way for this teature to work and that it was only an oversite and wasn't found during QA (you do have a QA department doen't you?). Please return this to it's previous working order. Leaving my computer awake for hours just so it can shut down automatically makes no sense.

Hello:
I suggest you put the Mac to sleep and never shut it down (unless you are going to be away for several days). A Mac (when sleeping) consumes a minimal amount of energy. IMHO (not a scientific analysis) electronics fail sooner when repetitively turned off and on.

Norton Manage Logins Icon is missing with Firefox 4.0. My auto logins no longer work

Norton has a manage logins icon that has disappeared from my toolbar when I updated to Firefox 4.0. Additionally, the Norton auto login function has stopped working, even though it appears fine when I look at the function in Norton.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Automatic Sleep no longer working on my Mac Mini :(

I just noticed my Mac Mini is no more going to auto-sleep as it should.
What can I try?
Resetting both SMC and P/VRAM did not solve the issue. I've also cleaned all system and program caches, plus repaired permissions.
I've searched the forums, and found quite a lot of topics about similar issues. Most were actually about notebooks. A lot of 'go there and delete this' solutions popped out, but I feel insecure to trash entire system folders.
Anyone can provide me with a safe & complete list of what I have to delete please?

really? sorry about that.
I guess that forum is restricted for people with at least two stars.
Here is a repost of that link.
My Mac pro doesn't auto-sleep. I've done an extensive search for possible solutions on apple support and elsewhere but nothing seems to cure it.
I made a little sleep program of my own which I'd like to recommend to anyone with the same problem. It's a very simple shell script that checks system idle time and if it's bigger than the sleep timer you set in system preferences it puts your computer to sleep. It will work so long as you can manually put your computer to sleep from the apple menu.
You'll also need to create a launch daemon to periodically run the script.
here are the steps to do it.
1. copy and paste the following into TextEdit.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
#!/bin/bash
idl=$"`ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print int($NF/1000000000); exit}'`"
sleeptimer=$"`defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement "Custom Profile" | grep "System Sleep Timer" | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's/;//g'`"
st=`expr $sleeptimer \* 60`
if [ $idl -gt $st ]; then
shutdown -s now
fi
</pre>
2. Format it as *plain text* (shiftcommandT in TextEdit) and save it as sleep.sh (don't use the .txt extension) at the top level of your hard drive. (You can save it elsewhere of course but make sure it's accessible to every user and change the path to the script in the commands below).
3. make it unix executable by entering the following command in terminal.
*chmod 755 /sleep.sh*
4. Download and install Lingon .
5. Open Lingon and create a new Users Daemon
Call it,say, com.sleep.launchd (the name is not important)
On line 2. enter /sleep.sh
and in section 3 set it to run every 30 seconds (that can be varied).
Click save (you'll have to enter your admin password).
6. Restart.
That's it. Once this is done you can forget about it. The sleep settings are still controlled from system preferences. The sleep agent will work with every user and even over the login window.
To uninstall it, open Lingon , select the launch daemon you made and uncheck the box "Enabled" in the upper right corner. save and restart.

Just installed HP BIOS Update. HP 6110 all in one printer no longer works.

Just installed HP BIOS Update. System no longer recognizes my printer (6110 all-in-one). HP web site says driver is in OS and should be recognized, but only driver that is close is 6100 series and it does not work.

Hey thecityhouse,
When you are selecting the driver from the available drivers list did you make sure to press the Windows Update button at the bottom right to prepopulate the list? This may have to be performed to get the proper driver for your printer.
If this does not work, then I would take a look at the information in the post found here. It may provide a workaround to the issue you are experiencing.
Hope this helps,
Jason

Send UNIX login no longer working after "SuperDupe"

I used to be able to login so smoothly to every computer using the send UNIX feature of ARD 3.1. Recently, I used SuperDupe to re-image all of the machines in my lab. Now, when I try to login, the only machine that works is the original machine (the non-SuperDuped machine). The rest get the following error message...
execution error: An error of type 13 has occurred. (13)
Here's the script that used to work...
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "welch"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "w"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'
FYI: it appears to not like the KEYSTROKE part of the script.
I wonder what the difference is??? I've tried repairing rights, OS updates, client updates, etc. I'm baffled.
--nw

After an insane amount of testing and research, I found that perhaps the problem was related to an Applescript Dictionary. Apparently, my "System Events" Applescript Dictionary was getting lost in the shuffle after SuperDupe.
I resolved the issue by simply not using SuperDupe. I ended up using Disk Utility instead and, although more laborious, it in the end worked.

Automatic brightness no longer works with mountain lion

I have a mid-2010 13" MBP that I upgraded to Mountain Lion via a clean install. Since the upgrade, the automatic brightness feature has stopped working and the laptop's screen brightness no longer responds to changes in ambient light level.
I've also noticed that I cannot deselect "automatically adjust brightness" in System Preferences – although I can clear the checkbox, as soon as I leave Display Preferences and go back, the box is rechecked. Adjusting the brightness using the slider or F1/F2 works as expected.
So far, I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, and using several combinations of energy and display settings, but no luck.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas how I might solve it? Thanks.

Apparently I have the same issue! Also I am unable to change the brightness settings for the keyboard backlight. (see my post about that here) Unfortunately I have yet to find a solution to the problem. I'm currently re-downloading the Mountain Lion install, hopefully a re-install will correct the issue. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Wall Charge resulted in loss of all music and apps no longer work

Last night I charged my iPhone 3G with a wall charger and when I went to use it in the morning all of the music, videos and podcasts were missing from the iPod app. All of my downloaded apps were still there but when I click on any of them they try to start then crash immediately.
All of the preloaded apps seem to work and my photos are still there. Does anyone have any ideas of what I may have done wrong? Anyone else have this happen?
O.S. 2.0.2 version.

I was charging it with the little square plug that came with the iPhone but I used a 3rd party cable connected to the Apple doc. Yeah when I get home I am going to resync with iTunes and I'm sure it will replace the content I just want to be able to charge the phone from my bedroom where there is no PC.

All Adobe plug-ins no longer work or install under FF 3.6.6

As soon as I upgraded, Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash stopped working, with a message saying I needed a newer version. When I tried to install those, however, I get an error message saying additional plug-ins are needed to continue. When I click to load those, I get a message saying it can't be done because some file is missing, so try a manual install. Which, of course, also doesn't work. Because of my work-related use of the Internet, the PDF reader, in particular, is a necessity. So what's wrong here and how is it fixed?

Hi, luanna.
This is a long shot but have you checked your iLok? Are the licences still on it? Has it been pulled out of the usb slot or bumped?
I've occasionally had trouble with mine suddenly deciding not to work.
I had to reload the licences from the iLok site and the problem was fixed.
On the same subject: have you plugin licences expired for some reason?
These, as I said, are longshots, but a malfunction iLok could cause what you're describing.
Another possibility have you started running either OS X or Logic in 64 bit? If so, plugsound might not be compatible.
Hope that you fix the problem.

All third party software no longer works

I've been trying to open Microsoft Word, Seashore, and so on today, and for some reason none of them will open anymore, whereas all of my first party software is fine as usual.
The only thing I think it could be is that I ran the program that deleted all the unneccesary languages earlier on today. I didn't try any of the third party software before that, so I can't be sure if the two are connected.
I don't really want to restore the laptop to factory settings, is there another way to get the programs to work again, or undo what that program uninstalled?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it was monolingual.
I definitely didn't delete "english", but I didn't see the option for US English, so maybe it was that.
I think the program also deleted some operating systems, for other computers like G5 and stuff.
I tried reinstalling the third party software and there was no change.
Restoring the whole system isn't that much of a problem, the only annoying thing would be transferring all the music from my other computer again, but it isn't a huge issue really.
What is the best way of restoring the system? Do I just put the Mac OX install disks in and follow some options?

All my automatic logins no longer work
