Always stay logged in?

Thanks for the recent improvements to the site. But I wish there was a way that the site could "remember" my computer so I could stay logged in all the time.

...I have to quit Safari every few days..."
I use Firefox and don't have this problem. You might want to try it. (I hate changing browsers, so don't think I think you should change.)
I once read that the reason Apple does not permit the automatic retention of your login ... is a security measure.
I have read that too. I assume it is true since the feature seems to have been taken away deliberately a while ago. Others may have a better answer.

"Stay logged on" checkbox is ALWAYS CHECKED - this is a security issue

Could Adobe please change the code for the login screen so that the "Stay logged on" checkbox isn't always checked (on)?
It doesn't matter if cookies are enabled, or not, it never remembers my desire to NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY LOGGED ON WHEN I VISIT.
Cookies aside, this checkbox should never be automatically checked unless the user has expressly decided for it to be so.
Anyone using a public computer may not remember to uncheck that checkbox; or may not even see it, if the user is in a hurry. This leaves that user's Adobe account VULNERABLE to anyone who uses that computer after the user is done. Not just for that hour, or day, but for as long as the cache and cookies are not cleared. How many accounts have to be ruined (password changed; vulgar/profanity-laced posts; etc.) before Adobe will take this seriously?
On top of that, I'm sick and tired of having to remember to uncheck that stupid checkbox before typing my password (it always remembers login name - another potential security vulnerability) to log on.
Stop thinking that you know what's best for everyone in the whole world, Adobe. That's a very ugly attitude.
Disrespectfully,
^_^

@Little_Pale_Face, clearing the browsing history on a public computer does NOT clear the login session. If you use a public computer to access Adobe forums and just close the browser without logging off and without clearing the "Stay logged on" checkbox, and if someone else after you were to enter "https://forums.adobe.com" on that same computer and using the same browser, they won't get a login prompt; they will automatically log on to your account.
@pwillener I've never had that problem as long as the browser is not closed and as long as lack of activity doesn't exceed 10 minutes, even after clearing the "Stay logged on" checkbox.

Can't get Safari to stay logged in to sites.

I want to make the Switch from Google Chrome to Safari, but this has proved impossible so far, because Safari will not stay logged in to a lote of sites. It seems that various Internet forums are the worst offenders, but I've noticed it on occasion with my Gmail account and a few other things as well.
I've tried most of the obvious things: Deleting cache, cookies, and whatnot; turning on "always accept cookies," rather than the default about ignoring ones you don't manually visit, which shouldn't be necessary anyway; deleting some entries from Keychain Access; even deleting Safari's settings .plist file. None of those have worked. It almost seemed good again for a brief moment, but then I once again got stuck in an endless loop of logging in (i.e. navigate to forum page, goes back to login page, I log in, navigate to forum page, goes back to login page, repeat ad nauseam.)
I don't have this problem with any other browser I've used, and it's pretty much a deal breaker w/r/t using Safari as a default browser. I've read quite a lot about this being a very common problem, but I couldn't find any great answers, not to mention that a lot of the stuff I found was years old.
Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Staying Logged In on My Iphone

I've looked at the forum here for answers on why I can't stay logged in to websites through Safari such as Facebook or Hotmail without having to reenter my username and password many, many times...since i get logged out if select an item to look at, or after looking at an email. I read in the forum about cookie problems in the updated 1.1.4 Safari...but the only answers seem to be about adjusting term-vt100 in installer... which involves third party applications and jailbreaking. Is there anyway of fixing this problem on a non-jailbreaked phone in safari? This was never a problem a couple of months ago, when iphone would keep me logged into web sites for a much longer period of time. I've also cleared out my cache, cookies and history, and enabled cookies to always...so what else can i do? it makes it virtually impossible to use facebook on iphone for example. Joe

If I remember correctly, Apple forgot to change the permissions of the cookies folder.
There is no fix for it without jailbreaking. I'm sure Apple fixed it in 2.0 (since they rewrote the thing).
It also depends on the site, too. Facebook used to be fine. Then there was a period where it was impossible to do stuff like send a message, etc. since it would log you out...but now it seems to be fine.

Java enabled? also staying logged in?

im trying to access this website.
www.gopednation.com
now it says i must have java enabled to view the site, which i do. it always worked before.
whats going on?
also how come staying logged in seems a bit hit and miss. sometimes sites will leave me logged in for days. sometimes i get logged out after a few minutes. this apple discussion forum is a culprit, and every time i log in it goes to an apple error page. you would think the apple page would work with apples!!

Works fine for me - not that this helps, just confirmation that it works!
Not a Java problem I think, but a Flash one.
Try re-installing the latest version of Flash from:

Make sure you have or get the proper version, which is 9.0.47.0

when i leave my computer alone for a while and i'm signed into ichat, instead of it putting me to away like the settings are set to it just signs me off...how do i fix it? i want it to stay logged on until i sign out

Hi,
This is mostly about what is called Away as a Status and setting an Away Status Message when going Idle.
Idle happens when there has been no Keyboard or Mouse input for 10 mins.
(read as for any Input device like Trackpad, Graphics pad, Trackball etc)
The Bottom section of the General Section of the iChat Preferences is abouut what happens when you go Idle. (The Orange Arrow and Text in the pic Below)
(Your Status indicator will go Amber)
Some of this does depend if you have Set "Block others for Seeing me as Idle " in the Accounts section > Account Info Tab on AIM Logins.
It is also linked to Fast User Switching (your Mac User Account could go Idle whilst you are Logged in as another Mac User Account).
The Blue Arrow and Text points out you can make sure iChat stays at the Last Status (And Message) you used on Quit (The default is for this to be Ticked and iChat to change to Available).
The Red Arrow and Text is about whether you appear as Fully Off line on Quit and Sleep.
On Quit iChat does not fully log you out of the AIM Servers.
You will appear as Off Line to your Buddies but the AIM servers will keep Off Line Messages for you (well, if you have never replied "NO" to the first Off Line IM you ever got)
However it does seem that in certain Combos of these settings that you can "Seen" by your Buddies as Away rather than Off line.
Picture of General Section of Preferences
If you add in to this mix a shorter time than the Idle time to make the computer go to Sleep then you can also create other "states" as well.
So...
In it's default settings:-
1) iChat will always set you to Available on Launch.
2) At 10 mins of no input you will go Idle (Amber)
3) For Fast User Switching you can set iChat to go Off Line or to Go "Away" (A Status Message setting).
(It has been so long I forget what the Default was)
4) iChat is set by default to show you going Idle (See the Accounts section of the Preferences)
5) If you specifically set an Away Status (or Message) then iChat will do whatever is set in the bottom part of the General Section.
6) Sleep will put you Off Line and the "When I Quit iChat, Set My Status to Off Line" option will kick in
The Default is for this to be Unticked.
There is no setting to create going to Away if left alone.
I am not entirely sure on this one though as I think it can be created via "Second Pass" things.
Note:-
Example of Second Pass.
Go to the View Menu and the Sort Buddies option.
If you sort by First Name then the Buddy list is likely to Reorganise itself based on the Address Book Entries.
If you now Sort by Availability it will organise those First Names by Availability rather than reverting to what was set before.
(Screen Names Only Buddies will appear alphabetically in any list)
Now repeat by Sort by Last Name then Availability and you will see that the list is not in the same order as First Names and Availability.
At this point I am not sure exactly what you meant.
The Title bit implies that Sleep was/is getting in the way.
The actual question details leave me wondering what you think you have set iChat to do ?

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
Thanks for ur answers !

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

How can I get MY LOGIN to stay logged in for twoweeks or more.....Currently I have to log in every time I go to firefox with ID & Password. The box does not affect it.

When I click on the Firefox logo it owns screen and the mail box button appears. I click on that and it requires me to enter my e-mail address and password. There is a box with a checkmark in it to stay logged in but it doesn't work. Whether it is once a day or 4 times a day I go to Firefox to look at mail I have to put in the full e-mail address and password even though the box is checked to stay logged in. I really like firefox as a browser but we have to fix this for me to stay with FireFox.

Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of all other windows?

Hi All,
I'm new to action script, and I just need this one script
> How can I script a Flash .exe file to always stay on top of
all other windows?
Basically what i want to do is have a flash-created
step-by-step instructional movie, but for the movie to remain on
top of all windows so the instructee is able to follow the
instructions on-screen...
It would be preferable to not have to buy another product
just to do this... as I said, this is the only scripting I need.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Rick

I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

Since I updated Firefox I have to constantly re log-in to my Yahoo account such as email. Every time I leave the page I have to log-in to get back into it. I also run OPERA and I do not have that problem with them. I stay logged in. Any suggestions?

I have windows Vista and have the updated version of Firefox. I also can run OPERA and LUNASCAPE with no problems. When running Firefox I have to constant re log-in to my Yahoo account every time I leave the page. For example: I log in to check my email on Yahoo and then leave my email page. Then when I return to recheck my email I have to log in all over again. I can't stay logged in. If I run my OPERA browser I stay logged in for days without having to sign in all over again.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2014) will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?
By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.

After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.
