Auto fill problem

Hi everyone,
I just received a 2nd gen shuffle for Christmas. I have an HP pavillion ze 4300 running XP. I updated the iTunes software to the current edition (7.02 i believe) When I loaded my shuffle for the first time all went well and autofill loaded from my music library. However when I changed the autofill source the list is empty and my shuffle locks up with no music loaded. I then have to restore the shuffle before I can use it and only when autofill loads the music it chooses. Any ideas how to resolve this issue? Thanks for your help.

Does the playlist selected in the Autofill dropdown
actually have anything in it? Does it contain tracks
in the supported formats?
Yes it does. There are several playlists that have differnet genres of music. The result is the same. I originally had a podcast list which I have since removed.

  • Safari auto-fill problem

    Hi all.. Since the second last firmware update of my Touch 2nd gen, Safari normally auto-fills website's login forms (thus settings should be okay) except for.. wlan login forms! Therefore, every time I have to manually write down username and password in order to gain network access.. I don't know whether it is a known issue or even a strange "wanted" feature..in any case, there's a way to overcome this annoying problem? Thank you in advance.

    I have asked a similar question several times before, and I have the answers varied from the typical I do not have that problem to its a security feature incorporated in Safari.
    I tend to think it is a new feature added ito safari n the last several months (via an update).
    The bottom line is I am NO longer able to stay logged into various websites if I quit safari, even though the websites have the feature available that should allow a user to stay logged in for 2 weeks.
    The only way I can now stay logged in for an extended period of time is to NEVER quit Safari.
    That is not an option for me.

  • Safari Auto-login/ Auto-fill problem

    Hi!
    I recently updated my safari after which I have been unable to auto login to my yahoo,gmail etc accounts. I have checked my safari preferences and all 3 auto-fill webform tabs are clicked. Also, when I go into yahoo, it does not prompt me to ask if i want to save my password. For my other accounts e.g gmail, they prompt me and my password + user-ids are still saved, just that i have to press the sign in button.
    Also, it stays signed it as long as i am on safari. However, if I were to quit safari and use safari again, it goes back to square one and no longer keeps me signed it.
    What can I do to enable safari to auto-login for all my accounts?
    Thanks!

  • Japanese Auto-Fill Problem

    Hey All,
    I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4. I purchased the mac in Japan and have found it to be very good when switching between English and Japanese. However, for some reason while I have set-up English as the default language, my computer still auto-fills my name (and my name only) in Japanese. I have tooled around with the "Autofill" section under preferences for Safari but nothing I do seems to change this auto-fill conundrum. I have even gone so far as changing my name on the computer from the Japanese version to the English version but it still auto-fills Japanese whenever I type my name.
    Anyone have any good ideas?
    Thanks and cheers,

    HI Jim,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
    Also, some banking and investment sites do not allow for "autofill" due to security.
    Of that box was already checked, go to the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons.
    You may also need to troubleshoot the Safari .plist file.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • Need help with Safari auto fill.

    Auto fill problems.
    1. It's spotty in its application. On some pages it works fine and fills in all fields with one click. On others it says "can't complete form", but then as I begin typing each field, it gives me fill in options. Why can't it just fill them in from the start?
    2. My name and phone number fields have bad values that it tries to fill in. I keep entering the right stuff on new forms, but it never seems to "learn" them. How can I find and remove or overwrite the bad values, without deleting all the other fields it has learned properly (do not want total reset)? I think it is getting the last name first version of my name from address book where I have that option set, but I don't want that in my web fill ins.
    3. Is there a master auto fill template somewhere with field names and values I can edit? Or does it collect this for every different URL I ever fill in, and so there is no way to set values I want used in all web pages?

    HI,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to *Other Forms*. Remove all.
    And under the Autofill tab, make sure: *User names and passwords* and *Using info from my Address Book card* are both selected.
    If you have problems logging into a site...
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) Now open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
    Now relaunch Safari. Login to a site with your user name and password as you normally would, then click Yes when prompted. That will create a new keychain for you.
    Keychain Access stores your passwords securely.
    Or does it collect this for every different URL I ever fill in,
    Correct. But only if you have *user names and passwords* and *Using info from my Address Book card* selected in Safari / Preferences - Autofill.
    Another suggestion when having problems using a website, is to delete the cookies. Go to Safari / Preferences / Security. Click *Show Cookies*. Delete the url's for that site then relaunch Safari.

  • 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

  • Strange problem with auto-fill addresses in mail and address book

    There's an entry in my address book (version 4.0.6) that keeps adding a first name to an entry. I keep deleting it and somehow the first name keeps getting added. I suspected that Mail (2.1.3) was using auto-fill or LDAP to take the name it remembered in Mail and put it in Address Book by associating the email address, so I turned off LDAP and auto-fill and the problem still persists.
    As an aside, I use mobileme to sync two macs (Address Book) and a pc (Outlook) so I really want to clear up this problem so the phantom entry does not keep getting transfered to all databases.
    Should I delete some cache or something? One other problem (unsure if it's related) is that my Mail application always ask for my keychain password on startup - I have tried the keychain repair app and it seemed to work once, though this problem persists, as well.
    Thank you in advance!

    Yes. the dot in front makes it invisible.
    Show hidden files...
    Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
    Reboot or Force Finder quit needed for either change to show.
    I'd move them both to the Desktop then reboot, if it works fine then you can Trash them.

  • Yahoo e-mail will not allow me to add contacts and will not auto fill e-mail addresses, and now I'm having trouble downloading Adobe documents from my bank. All of these problems can be solved by using Internet Explorer, but I prefer Firefox.

    I get an error message when trying to add new contacts and it is suggested I try back later, also when sending an e-mail the address I wish to send an e-mail to will no longer auto-fill. This has been a problem for sometime, maybe a month. The last problem I had was trying to download my March bank statement, in Adobe. If I switch to Internet Explorer I can accomplish these tasks. I am using Yahoo on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
    It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

  • Photomerge - problem with auto fill

    I am looking for a manual on how to switch off the auto fill function for Photomerge (once enabled to automatic).
    On first use of Photomerge there is the following dialog:
    Clean Edge
    Would you like to automatically fill in the edges of your panorama?
    Always perform this action
    The question of "Always perform this action" has a checkbox. I did use this checkbox, and now I am looking for a way to reverse that.
    I did not find it in the manual, and Google also could not help.
    I think in general that to provide such a "hidden option" (and which is not easy to reverse) is NO-GO for good software
    Anyone in here?
    Thank you for your attention.

    In the pse9 editor,Go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on reset all warning dialogs.

  • 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/

  • How do you get auto fill to use the right E-mail address?

    Hi Everyone
    My address book card has multiple E-mail addresses on it. Yet when I want to use auto fill to fill out a form, 100% of the time it's just one address I want to use. The problem is safari always uses only one of the addresses and it's not the one I want to use. Is there a way to change which address (or any other field) from your address card is used in auto fill?
    TIA
    K

    Since you don't say how many email addresses you have on your own card or which of them it's picking, I'll assume it's choosing the first one in the list. If that's correct and it's not the one you want, you need to change the order of addresses to make the one you want be the first one in the list.
    Other than that, you cannot set a default item for any field.

  • Auto fill addresses in SMS texts - where did it go?

    I just had to swap out my iPhone4 (1st one only one month old had hardware problems) everything with the new phone seems fine, but I just noticed when texting that I can't type the first few letters of a person's name and it automatically shows all the close options. I have to manually type in the ENTIRE address or hit the plus sign and go to my contacts. This is a real pain - and it's taking too much time.
    I can't find any setting to get the auto fill in SMS back. Auto fill on email is fine. Any suggestions?
    Many thanks!

    I hate to aks the obvious, but are you sure you have any contacts? There's no Setting to make certain that the auto-fill is on for SMS, so the only thing that makes sense is an empty Contacts.

  • Keychain and Safari Auto Fill

    I've never been able to figure out the relationship between the Auto-Fill function in Safari and the Keychain program function that seeems to do the same thing. If anyone knows of any doumntation on this subject I would appreciate it.
    THE CURRENT PROBLEM:
    I have certain web sites that request User Name and Password but don't activate the OSX three-button window that asks if I want to save/ignore the password.
    The site that is currently not working is cingular.com. Now that I think about it - the username there is a three-window phone number - maybe Keychain/Auto-Fill has to be a username follow by a single window for a password.

    I am not an OS expert, but it is not a site "controlling" an OS. You are using a WEB browser application to visit a web site.
    Various browsers offer various extension functions and some of those features can be disabled by web sites or enabled. e.g. pop up windows pop-up without your "permission" because some web sites want to pop up extra ads etc. in front of you.
    Financial institutions (not all) often set up pages not to auto-populate the user name/password for your safety. Some content providing web sites (e.g. photo libraries) will even actually disable the COPY IMAGE function in some browsers to keep people from copy-pasting-saving their copyrighted materials.
    CONTROLLING your OS would mean they can delete files, install viruses, etc. That would not be a good thing.

  • Auto fill passwords is no go

    I know this has been discussed a billion times but I can't get in any answers by reading the old posts. Since I'm brand new to Mac this "key chain" deal is just about the most dumbest thing I have ever seen (can you tell I'm ******) lol
    I have been a PC user for years. I could type one password in Norton Identy Safe and the computer automatically  logged in to pay my bills, forums, and online banking, everything....not with a Mac!!???
    I use strong passwords in which they are difficult to type much less remember.
    I have brand new MBP 13" with Lion 10.7.4 and have tried keychains, auto fill is "on", etc....
    I manually build keychains and they will not work.
    It was doing good at first by asking would I like to remember passwords, username, but it quit. I mean it actually autofilled there for a short period of time but "poof" its gone now. Everything is still there in keychains...just not working.
    Help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    I've got the same problem. Migration Assistant moved everything else over okay, but for some reason Safari can't connect to all the usernames and passwords that are stored in the Keychain. iChat could and NetNewsWire could... but the AutoFill stuff just isn't working. And I'm looking at all of them in Keychain Access right now!
    Ack!

  • 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.
