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.

  • 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/

  • My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

    Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
    Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS5 to iOS6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

    iOS 6 changed how that feature works.

  • Auto rotate does not work

    The auto rotate function does not work on my iPad.  I have tried the the mute / rotate switch, swiping to the far left at the bottom of the home page and rebooting.  Nothing is working.  Are there any other steps I could try or should I be taking the iPad in for service?

    Does your iPad show the lock in a circular arrow symbol in the top of the screen next to the battery level?
    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Yes. I found the answer here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Envy-x2-13-j020CA-Windows-10-Auto-Rotate-Autorotate-now/m-p/5212887#M115445I've tried replacing the driver on Sdo Sensor V2 device with the Simple Device Orientation Sensor and rotation works just like it did on 8.1.For the record - Sdo Sensor v2 reports the device orientation continiously, and Simple Device Orientation Sensor reports it only when the orientation changes. Must be a Windows bug then.

  • Thinkpad Helix - Screen auto rotation does not work (Issue 3/3)

    Hi,
    I have installed a clean Windows 8.1 on the Helix and have several issues. Putting them into several threads so they can be answered independently.
    The first thing I did after installing the system (and critical Windows Updates) was running the Lenovo System Update tool and downloading everything.
    Screen rotation does not work. In “Device Manager” I can see “C5621 gw Mobile Broadband Geolocation Sensor” and “Hid Sensor Collection”. The HID one has an exclamation mark next to it. Are there some drivers I need to download to make this work. I did of course check if screen rotation is not locked – it is not (I did turn it on/off a couple of times, without any effect). Manual rotation (using display settings) works fine.
    Thank you in advance for any help,
    Łukasz
    Solved!

    Hi Lukasz,
    Try, in device manager, right click on HID Sensor Collection then uninstall. Reboot, and see if the driver is loaded properly, if not click on scan for hardware changes.

  • 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!

  • Bug: Auto-archive does not work in Outlook 2010

    The Auto-Archive feature does not seem to work. In my case, I'm creating a mail folder in my inbox and setting the auto archival to "2 weeks, then delete". I run Auto Archival manually. It seems to progress without any error, but I know better.
    It should take the process more than a few minutes to process the mail I have stored up for almost a year. No error and my mail has been untouched.
    I noticed this thread in the Outlook 2010 beta forums
    I'm having the same issue. I'd like this bug fixed if possible? I keep archival folders to manage my mail.

    Hi Canovac,
    Auto Archive works as expected in my environment.   I noticed you said that you created a new mail folder in your inbox.  Did you just create the folder and move the mail to that folder?  Auto archive looks at modified date and if you
    move the mail to that folder that changed the modified date so the mail will not archive.
    To determine the modified date, do the following:
    While on the folder in question:
    Click View > View Settings > Columns
    In the Select available columns from dropdown choose
    All Mail Fields locate Modifed in the Available colums: and click
    Add
    If the mail has not been modified within the last two week span, please test the following for me.
    Start Outlook with the /safe switch and then run Auto-Archive. 
    Does auto-archive work when starting with the /safe switch?
