Auto-fill passwords doesn't work anymore...

Something funny has started happening - up till recently when i went to a website that requires a Username/Password Safari would automatically fill the fields in. (I'm the only user in the house so it's OK!)
But now, it seems to have stopped. So I have to open Keychain Access and look up the password and fill it in manually which is a right pain!! What might I have done to stop Passwords being automatically filled in, or what can I do to restore it?
Thanks in advance!
Andy

Note that there is a delay before the screen will lock. Try waiting a few moments after the screen saver kicks in especially if you're activating with the mouse corners.
If that doesn't work, I'd try trashing the com.apple.security and com.apple.dock plists. Those are the only ones I think could be related to this feature. You could also make a new user account and see if the problem occurs there.

In my dock there was this weird program called "tutorial". While throwing away this program I had to fill in my password. Afterwards I tried to change my password, but my old password doesn't work anymore. Who can help?

What was this program for, or did you just assume it's something you shouldn't have and therefore arbitrarily decide to "throw it away"? Exactly how did you supposedly throw it away?
If you didn't change your administrator password, there's no reason it shouldn't work now, so that suggests you did something else, or changed it and then forgot what it was.
You can't recover that password; you can only change it. To do that, you would need to boot from your Snow Leopard DVD, choose your language, then choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu in the top menu bar.

How can I retrieve my old apple ID when old password doesn't work anymore?

I no longer have the mail that my lst Apple ID was on, so I made a new account and can't update my apps from before.
Can someone help me get back into my old ID?

If you forgot your Apple ID password

TS4268 iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password.

iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password. After entering it switches to a mask witch asks for the eMail adress that should be used. There is the right One already preentered. From there it switches back to the former mask (appleID +password) and nothing happens. If you say Log in again, ist just switches between those masks without showing an error claim nor logging in. Strange thing is ist worked proppperply till a few days ago.......

Hello there Noregret35,
I suggest this part of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
If you get to step 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps.
Here is step 1 to get you started.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Regards,
Sterling

Does anyone else have two Apple IDs? I can't get rid of one of them. It's associated with my iCloud account and I can't fix it. The password doesn't work.

So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.

Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Dear Lazo,
For export option activate On SAP B1 client machine you have go general setting > Go to path > than provide SAP sever Excel Doc Path.

If its not work so you check on sever if its working on sever than if definitely client machine problem.

Pinching in Safari doesn't work anymore..

In ML it was possible to pinch and get an overview of your tabs.
As I discovered recently this doesn't work anymore.
Pinching to get tab overview doesn''t work anymore and pinching to zoom in/out either.
Any solutions or thoughts on this issue? Perhaps involving the recent Safari update in ML?

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? 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:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
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, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? 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.

Auto-fill/password data deleted following Safari crash

So, I've been having a seriously large amount of problems with Safari crashing over the past few months. Usually it just shows the spinning wheel of death, sometimes it just automatically reloads every page/tab I have open (if anyone can suggest a fix for that it would be great).
However, this time it crashed and it appears to have completely wiped out all of my auto-fill/password data that I had saved. As this is a personal computer and nobody else uses it, I had a lot of passwords saved into it (most of them for low security risk sites). As everybody knows, a user often has hundreds of usernames/paswords for a huge number of websites. I can't remember them!
I'm concluding that as they've all been deleted, I'm going to have to go through the arduous process of clicking the 'forgotten username/password' to retrieve these details; however, now whenever I try to save back in the auto-fill, it's not really working too well and just isn't saving it, despite me choosing for auto-fill to be operational on the website.
Any help would be massively appreciated to sort this, as having to keep entering my usernames/passwords - urgh, let's just say this is the biggest first world problem since before bread was sliced!!
Safari version 5.1.10
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

Passwords are stored in Keychain Access located in Applications > Utlities
Launch Keychain Access then select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of a website you've visited that autofilled the password.
Then double click the website name the select the Attributes tab then click: Show password
You may be prompted for your admin password to proceed.
If you want a website to re remember the password, right or control click the website name in Keychain Access the click Delete.
The next time you login to that site and enter your password you should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain.

After instaling mavericks terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore

after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore...
What have to do to solve this problem?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

You cannot and need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

DPS HTML Content doesn't work anymore

Hello,
a few weeks ago, I created two Single-Folio-Apps. In these apps I have placed HTML content in InDesign with the command "Insert HTML". I so placed <textarea>-fields among others. I set the HTML content to Auto Play and allowed user interaction. The folio app worked well and it was possible to write text into the textfields on the iPad and also on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N (in the Adobe Content Viewer). On Monday I built the apps again, because I wanted to add a new iPad device for testing the app. And now it doesn't work anymore! The HTML content isn't even executed in the Folio! I placed another HTML content in InDesign - a simple text with a <strong>-tag - only for testing. The result: it also isn't executed! I only can see a black box on the page where this html content should be! How can this be? Further the app crashes always! How can I solve this problem? I really need help, because I'd like to present the apps to a client - actually this already should have happened! Please, can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance!
With best regards,
Verri

Did you install the updated tools? There were issues with the original v25 release that affected HTML and buttons.

Last week, I had no problems streaming my MacBook Pro to my sony Bravia with a logix hdmi cable. I came back from holidays and now it doesn't work anymore. What settings should my computer be on and what settings should my tv be on?

Efi Express doesn't work anymore so I can't print

I Use Efi Express as RIP and colormanagement software to print to my Epson Pro 4900 printer. Now I need prints and this doesn't work anymore.
I installed Maverick so that is most likely to be the problem, because just before I did this the pritner and software worked fine. I installed Efi Express again but I keep getting a message aboutr a system extension that isn't properly installed.
I looked in the system folder for this .kext file, but it doesn't exist at all.
Please help.

We use the Fiery Express driver with our Canon copiers that use the optional EFI print controller and have no issue with this driver on 10.9. In fact, at this point in time, it is the only EFI driver we have for 10.9.
The Express driver plugins should be located in /Library/Printers/efi and the PPD will be in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj and is called Fiery Express. So trash these files and check the EFI web site for the latest version of the driver.
