Auto Fill Freezes and Malfunctions

This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have asked up on this problem. No responses previously, although several others wrote to say that they are experiencing the same problem with Safari Auto Fill with Mountain Lion.
Here's problem: I have autofill set on Safari. As I start to type in a form, eg, name, address, email, the small auto fill pops up. I click on it. It turns color, from wihite to blue. And then does nothing more happens, no autofill, and worse, the autofill screen stays there, on top of the open page. On my screen, not the website page. If I close the page, the blue popup screen reamins. No matter which safari page I go to, the blue popup screen stays on top of the page, frozen in place. I can neither move nor close it. As a result have no benefit from autofill. So, I have no use of autofill. This problem started after I upgrade to Mountain Lion, on 2 computers, a MBA and an iMac. Same thing happens with Autofill on both computers.

Because of this problem, and the overall sluggishness of both MBA and iMac since upgraded to Mtn Lion, I've been afraid to try Maverick. In thread on previous post, several others said tha also afraid to try Maverick, although one had, and said so far so good.
But you are probably correct. I am well backed up and will start upgrade with one mac at a time.
Thank you.

    My wireless keyboard is auto filling letters and numbers what do I do to turn it off?

    Hi Pegfraser,
    Does this happen only with the wireless keyboard and not the touch keyboard?  And which Apps does this happen with?
    In general, auto fill is a settings thing.
    For Safari:  Settings, Safari, AutoFill
    System Wide: General, Keyboard, Auto-Correction (may seem like auto fill)
    and you can setup Shortcuts in the Keyboard settings, but you would know if you'd done that.

  • Is there a way to auto fill DATE and TIME

    I have the field format set to mmddHHMM
    Can  you please tell me how to have the date and time auto fill when the PDF is opened?
    I am new at this so details are very helpful. Thank you!

    Let's say the field's name is Now. Go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and create a new item. Name it "scripts".
    Delete any code that is created by default and enter this instead:
    this.getField("Now").value = new Date();
    Click OK and you're done. The field will update each time the file is opened.

  • Load auto fill? and auto post info when composing and e-mail

    How do I load the Form auto fill function
    How do I add a signature block that is automatically added when composing an e-mail?

    Firefox doesn't do email, so it doesn't have a feature to autofill a signature.
    If you are using Firefox to access a webmail portal, that feature would be provided by that portal's software. Usually part of HTML format email, or "rich text" email. See your webmail service provider's help files or support forum for help with that.

  • Auto-fill username and password?

    When I sign into a website firefox used to ask if I want my username and password to be remembered but has stopped that feature. How do I get firefox to activate that feature again so it will
    remember my username and password when I open the sign-in page again?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    *Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • Tiny red dots underlining auto-fill address and name fields?

    Just very recently, my computer started to underline, with tiny red dots, some of my inputs into address fields, and even now, while I am writing this message.
    Is this a virus? What can it be?

    welcome to Discussions!
    You probably have your Safari spell-checker on.
    To disable it, open Safari, and go to Edit>Spelling and UNcheck "Check Spelling as you type".
    Good luck!

  • Everytime I fill out the auto fill section and say ok, it lists my past address, how or where do I go to update this information?

    Using the autofill, when appropriate is a great tool, unfortuanately I have neglected to change my address and have gone to System Preferences in an attempt to find out the link or clue as to where I should go.  Any suggestions?
    I know you all out their have always been great to me and I want to express my Thanks so here it goes,
    THANKS
    YOU ARE APPRECIATED
    TOM

    Thank you for answering my questions so quickly, before I used your input I changed my info in my address book, by editing it, then going to Safari>Preferences>Autofill>Autofill web forms: Using infor from my Address Book card.
    I haven't seen if this works but tried finding Launch the Address Book in HD>Applications, and could not locate it. I would think after using this Mac for so long I would be able to follow your instructions.
    Do you see any problems using the mehtod I used, in the first part of this leter?
    Thank you,
    Reply would be appreciated.

  • Auto fill for user names and pass words.

    Since uploading iOS 7, iPad Safari does not auto fill username and passwords. iPhone 5 with iOS7 does. Settings appear the same but phone does and iPad doesn't.

    Disable by tapping "Private" on Safari Sceen. The top of screen must be white to indicate Private Browsing is off.

  • BIG problems with iOS 8.2 Safari ("dark mode" menu bar, no auto-fill, etc)... HELP, please?

    So I was simply wiping the dust off my screen, with Safari open, and once I had finished... Safari just went belly-up.
    And I need some help badly.
    First thing that I noticed was that Safari now has a "dark mode" menu bar.
    Secondly, my auto-fill user names and passwords no longer "auto-fill" - I have to place the cursor in a field and have the keyboard pop up in order to access the auto-fill function: previously, the fields simply, well, auto-filled.
    And, thirdly, when I attempt to post a message to the Apple Support Communities, there is no visible text in the body of the text. I'm using my MacBook Pro to type this message.
    I have searched and searched to try to find remedies to my problems, but I can't find a thing. There's nothing unusual in Accessibility (that would make the whole screen, for example, grayscale), nothing changed in passwords, etc.
    I'm at my wits end! Even restoring from an older backup doesn't remedy any of the problems.
    Can anyone help?

    If the menu bar at the top of Safari show white text on a grey background, and autofill isn't working, then you probably have private browsing 'on'. Tap the icon top right of the Safari screen (the square on top of a second square), tap the Private button at the top of the next screen and then Done - Safari should then go back to its normal colours and autofill should work again

  • Deleting auto-fill for usernames on facebook in safari

    By mistake, I entered my username and password into the username box on facebook. Now my password is visible in the drop down box when I am logging into the site. I have tried deleting cookies, emptying cache, and adjusting my auto-fill preferences, and nothing has worked yet. I am a new mac user, and I recall on windows, I could highlight it and press "backspace" and it would erase.. can someone please tell me how to delete these automatic username suggestions.. Thank you

    Go to Keychain Access in your Utilities folder and highlight the appropriate entry and delete.

  • 2013 Safari not auto filling password

    Safari suddenly stopped auto filling userids and passwords.  I rechecked all of my "Auto Fill" preferences and they are fine.  It also is now saying that the password is changed and do I want to save the new one.  If I say Not Now I get signed in so perhaps the password keychain is corrupted; but, if I do say to save it, then the next time I sign in it still doesn't work.  Seems like Apple released a revision without testing everything.  Isn't that Microsoft's trick?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
