Autocomplete email address in Yahoo doesn't work in Safari

Earlier this year there was some discussion on this topic, but it is not resolved. I am new to the Mac and find I'm having the same problem. Yes, autocomplete is turned in Safari pref., but that shouldn't matter. The autocomplete feature of Yahoo comes from their website, not from information stored on our personal computers.
Anyone know if there is a way to get Yahoo mail to autocomplete email addresses in the To: box in Safari as it does in browsers on the PC?
Thanks,
Ralph

Hello, Ralph. Welcome to Apple Discussion~!!
Yahoo mail & Safari are not very compatible, I use earthlink web
mail it also does not autocomplete. Cater to the ms world.
Sorry not the answer you are looking for, perhaps someone has some
workaround but none I have seen so far.At this point I do not think so.
I wonder however if you could get your web mail to come into Apple
mail you could check in Mail & Address book forum.
Regards,
Eme

  • Autocomplete email addresses picks up wrong email account

    I have an ipad for home (with only my home email account) and an iPhone for work (with only my work email account).  When I type an email address on the ipad, my work contacts come up in the autocomplete.  It will only be a matter of time before one of my family email my work in error, which could be embarrassing!
    What can I do to stop this happening?  Is it something to do with iCloud?
    I can't just delete work contacts on the ipad every time they come up, partly because there are too many, but also I will then be reusing them at work, and will they then come back again to the ipad?

    Oh yes we always have options.
    Before we go any further, does this behavior only occur with specific names / email addresses?  If so you may have more than one addressbook card in addresssbook with a similar name / email address and one of them may have a misspelling.  Try typing in the misspelling that keeps showing up in the iCal Invitee field into the Addressbook search field to see if maybe there is a card with a misspelling (in which case correct it or delete the card in question if it is a duplicate).
    If that isn't it then:
    Reset sync services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 and restart the computer.
    If that isn't it then:
    1.) Go into Addressbook
    2.) If you have groups created click on each group 1 at a time and go to File > Export > Group vCard for each group saving them to a logical location.  Do this for the "All Contacts" group as well.
    3.) Make an addition backup of Addressbook by going to File > Export > Addressbook Archive
    4.) Click on "All contacts" and then click on one of the contacts listed to the right (doesn't matter which one)
    5.) Go to Edit > Select All to highlight all contacts
    6.) Go to Edit > Delete Cards (which deletes all your addressbook entries which is why we made a backup)
    7.) Restart the computer
    8.) Launch Addressbook and ensure it is still blank and Add a new card with an email address and name
    9.) Go to iCal and add an event with an invitee and try typing in the name / email address as you would do normally and see if it correctly recognizes the 1 addressbook card you have in addressbook.
    --- If this works then we know that you have an issue with 1 or more of the addressbook cards that were formerly in the Addressbook program.  Try re-importing the vCards created in step #2 and see if the issue re-occurs (hopefully it won't as sometimes exporting / importing fixes odd issues with databases).

  • HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts?  Thanks Elainecontacts

    My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
    Thanks

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user.  That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) .  When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device.  You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc.  itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
    It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

  • Having talken the advice to use a bt email address via Yahoo, iPad telss me that the a/c may not be able t,o send or receive emails

    Having take the advice to use a BT email address via Yahoo, iPad tells me that the a/c may not be able to send or receive emails

    I set up a btinternet account by selecting Yahoo from the Add Account screen, and just had to fill in the name, email address, password and a description -  I got the same send and receive warning and I had to log into the account via a browser on the iPad to 'confirm' it on it, but it then worked (though I had to go back and re-enter the account's password).

  • Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

    email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
    I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
    I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
    Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

    But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work?  I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe.  This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot.  But I know both were exactly the same.  But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

    I don't know my rescue email and security password.i just added an alternative email address but it doesn't send there....also I just added 25$ on iTunes.please help!

    The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    An alternate email address is not the same thing as a rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite

    After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
    For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
    They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
    Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?

    I have a similar pb :
    CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
    I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
    following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
    I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
    But it works no more ... very weird
    All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet !

    Hi Matthew
    Does the Activity Window work normally when Rapport is uninstalled ?
    If so, I'm not sure what you could do beyond keeping it that way & watching for an updated version; or contacting
    http://www.trusteer.com/support/report-problem & seeing what they say, since it might conflict with some other add-on. You've the same trouble in a new account ?.

  • XMLhttprequest doesn't work in safari

    i have a website and it works fine in Internet Explorer, but the website doesn't work in Safari.
    i use xmlhttprequest to get data from the database and that data i want to put in an selectbox.
    i have multiple selectboxes and the first one i don't use ajax to get the data and that one works fine. but as soon as i use ajax it doesn't work anymore in safari.
    this is the function i call to get the data.
    function UpdateOrder(custid)
          var xhrrequest = getXhr();
              // Ici on va voir comment faire du post
          xhrrequest.open("GET","ajax/UpdateOrder.php" +"?q=" + custid, true);
          // ne pas oublier ?a pour le post
          xhrrequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded') ;
          xhrrequest.send("bedrijfsnaam="+custid);
          // On d?fini ce qu'on va faire quand on aura la r?ponse
          xhrrequest.onreadystatechange = function(){
           // On ne fait quelque chose que si on a tout re?u et que le serveur est ok
           if(xhrrequest.readyState==4 && xhrrequest.status==200){

            var array=eval(string);

             //selectiebox vullen met straatnamen
             var splarray = array.toString();
             var strarray = splarray.split(",");
             var i=0;
             for(i=0; i< strarray.length; i++)
              var oOption=document.createElement("option");
              oOption.setAttribute(i,strarray[i]);
              oOption.setAttribute('value',strarray[i]);
              var oText=document.createTextNode(strarray[i]);
              oOption.appendChild(oText);
              selectiebox.appendChild(oOption);
    i also viewed the errorlog and there it said:

  • Paypal button doesn't work on Safari. but works on Firefox

    I have over 100 pairs of "Add to Cart" buttons on my website. One of each is on the individual item page and the other is on my Order Form.
    I have one button that works on the order form, but the identical button doesn't work on the individual page when using SAFARI, but works when I use FIREFOX!
    I have recreated the button several times and put it in the proper place several times, saved the changes and republished. Still it doesn't work in Safari!
    This must be a Safari issue not a PayPal issue
    Any suggestions?
