Autofill not working

My autofill on 10.7.5 does not work. This happened right after I downloaded 10.7.5. What to do?

I had the same problem - in Address book - highlight your card & with the card menu at the top, make it "your card".
Autofill should then work - It worked for me!

  • Autofill not working correctly

    When using the autofill functionality in Safari, the address information is always incomplete - the street and house number are missing.
    I have checked the preferences in Safari - they are correct. Otherwise autofill would not work at all.
    Moreover, I checked my contact information in Address Book - it is correct, too - including street and house number.
    I have found a few other users that have similar problems. I could be related to the German version of Mac OS X 10.6.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    I am using Safari 5.1.7 and Address Book 5.0.3 with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Try this...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy / paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Autofill not working on new mac mail

    I have an old Imac G5. When i receive mail, send mail, when i go to type a new email, reply to, or forward to an email, all i have to do is type in the first letter of the email address of the persons first name and i will get a list of options to choose from. On my new macbook, all of my emails have transfered over BUT the autofill does NOT WORK UNLESS i send an email to that person. It is as if i need to "redo" all of the contacts for this computer to recognize them. This is very frustrating and time consuming. Any ideas???? PLEASE HELP!!! ALSO, i have noticed that if i create a draft on this computer(macbook) or send an email from here, my G5 wont have that information stored on its folder. I guess ultimately i dont feel like my computers and internet mac email accounts are as synched as they could or should be.
    Cheers!

    Mail gets its autofill data from two places: Address Book and its own previous recipients list. If you've got entries in Address Book and they're not showing up, I don't know what to tell you. For the previous recipients list (visible in Window -> Previous Recipients), the easiest way to build that list back up is to just send e-mails to people.
    As for drafts and sent e-mails, in order for those to show up on both computers, they need to be stored on the server and you need to be accessing your mail using IMAP rather than POP. If you're already using an IMAP account, go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts, click on the Mailbox Behaviors tab and check the boxes for storing mail on the server for any mailbox whose contents should be shared. If the checkbox is off, those messages are stored in a local mailbox on the machine you're using at the time.

  • Why does autofill not work?

    when I try to use autofill on a page I get the message "autofill not available for this page". It never works

    Firefox doesn't have an "autofill" feature ''(it's called '''form autocomplete''' in Firefox)'', you are probably having a problem with the autofill feature provided by the Google Toolbar extension.
    See this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

  • ITunes 11 Autofill Not Working On iPod Shuffle

    I had to reinstall iTunes 11 following a reinstall of Windows and now iTunes will no longer "Autofill" my iPod Shuffle.
    Formerly, Autofill would randomly refill my iPod Shuffle with tunes from my iTunes library, but it no longer wiill.
    When I select "Autofill" the status bar at the top indicates it has begun a synchronization and iTunes seems to "hang" at that point.  I am never presented with the screen showing the "random" tunes selected or showing them being updated on my iPod Touch.  After some bit of time, iTunes reports that it could not add any more songs to my IPod Shuffle because there was no more space on it.
    As of now, my iPod Shuffle is "stuck" with the tunes it had on it before I reinstalled iTunes as part of a Windows reinstall..........the Autofill feature of iTuned 11 doesn't appear to be working.
    I've worked on this for hours and hours and tried every combination of settings I can think of with innumerable reboots to have Windows 7 re-recognize the iPod Shuffle. (It disappears following the "hang" of iTunes 11.  I'm out of ideas and have no more time to expend on this. Oh....and it will not let me reset my iPod Shuffle back to factory state eitehr.
    QUESTION: Does anyone know how to "fix" this............or is this a bug in the current release of iTunes 11?

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem as you do. I tried updating iTunes to the latest version (10.0) and my iOS on my iPod Touch (2nd generation, 8GB) to the latest version (4.0.2) and unsyncing all of my apps to see if they were conflicting with the top tens list somehow. However, my top tens list is still blank/empty.
    Let me know if you find a fix.
    Thanks

  • Autofill not working when creating a photo book

    I have created several photobooks and have come across a new problem. When I click on "autofill", the first 20 pages in the book are blank. Photos only start on page 21. Right now, I just delete the empty photos, add extra pages and manually drag the photos onto the pages.
    This problem just started happening.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Elizabeth

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • This version of Firefox has SO many problems it is unusable. Ads in EVERYTHING. Autofill not working, more.

    First of all I am so tired of FF updating it's versions so often and every time they do something doesn't work. I changed to Google Chrome after using FF for YEARS and the current version, which seems to update on it's own and then you can't go back, has eliminated Autofill which I really relied on, and worse of all there are ADS in EVERYTHING and I don't know how to stop them. In Facebook for example there are big boxes of ads everywhere. Just today in my new blog post pieces of text were underlined that linked to ads. This does NOT happen in GC and it hurts the integrity of my long running blog and is an embarrassment. I hate this. I have never allowed paid ads and don't want them. In Google Chrome none of these ads show up anywhere, nor do they in Explorer, only in FF. There are other issues but I am worn OUT from new versions showing up every 5 minutes and then things you regularly use and count on don't work. Will somebody PLEASE tell me how to eliminate these ads???

    And the "latest version" of FF IS the one I had and had so many problems with and autofill WAS enabled but the autofill I had been using for some time was simply gone. It has been a little pencil icon up on the left side in the tool bar and the most recent autofill had to be filled out through some -- to me -- complex form that you had to access in tools section and I could never even figure out how to use it. I've been online and created several websites and blogs so it's not that I have no computer experience but I remember way back using FF 3 and loving it and all of a sudden one day my computer took a big leap to another version way up the line for some unknown reason and FF as I had known it changed and then versions kept coming out faster and faster and things got worse and worse. Sometimes I think the axiom, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" should apply. I can't keep up with all the changes. Unless and until I know that FF is a stable platform I will not use it again and others have said the same thing in conversations the last few days. A LOT has changed with this latest version and the changes aren't good. Again for the zillionth time, the problems that existed do not exist at all on the other browsers, only Firefox. Very odd indeed...

  • Safari/Autofill not working?

    My Autofill form does not seem to be working.
    Do you have a solution?

    HI,
    Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left then Delete the "Safari AutoFill" item. Quit Keychain Access.
    Relaunch Safari. Navigate to a site that requires your username and password. Click "Always Allow" when prompted.

    well i got it to work in firefox at least. the way i did that was by ctrl clicking the firefox icon in the applications folder (first make sure that firefox is not running). i clicked "get info". there should be a box which says "operate using rosatta" or something to that affect. make sure that box is checked. restart firefox and viola! Louella from mac tech support helped me with this one (800 APLCARE).

  • Autofill not working after Restoring Shuffle

    I have an old shuffle (bought in 2006). I was forced to restore it in order to put new music on it.  After restoring, I clicked "autofill" and it won't work - it says all the songs in my library are already on my ipod, but they aren't, it was wiped clean after restoring.  I tried to click and drag one song and got an error msg "must download from icoud first".  Went to Apple store for help and they are closed for renovations, an employee outside the store told me to call apple care and of course they wanted to charge me for help on this matter.  What do I need to do to put my library songs on my ipod....I restored it twice just to make sure the songs weren't somehow still on there.............

    Actually?
    THIS ***** SO INCREDIBLY!
    At least before following this well-intentioned but misguided advice I still could track down all the old, CRUCIAL banking info, addresses, insurance and utility info (by looking into the keychain access) .... but now I've lost completely crucial passwords and usernames FOREVER.
    (And I'm out of the country for a few weeks. And has anyone actually TRIED to phone Apple support in Canada???????? I DARE you. You cannot get thru. It's impossible. This update has totally screwed up my computer.... And being unable to get support either thru Apple or thru discussions is like Chinese water torture combined with someone slowly pulling out your fingernails one by one.)

  • Safari autofill not working properly

    Safari no longer autofilling username and passwords. It fills in the username but not the password. But still asks me when I enter them if it would like to remember them for me. I always click yes. I have reset safari a few times. Ran repair permissions. Any ideas?

    Are these sites that contain a "Add password to keychain" (or similar) option? If not, then the problem is not with the keychain entries.
    One thing users might try is to reset safari using the "Safari" --> "Reset Safari" menu option. Be sure to clear caches as well as clear cookies.

  • Address Book Autofill not working

    In OS 10.3.9 while editting the address book it auto-filled based on previous entries (e.g. Country or City name, etc). Since upgrading to 10.4.7 (and 10.4.6 for that matter) this useful feature is gone. I have looked in Preferences to see if I can turn it on, but no luck.
    Any tips?
    Thanks!

    Priscilla,
    since many people complained about the way auto-complete worked in 10.3.x (that it was always auto-completing as soon as you typed), its behaviour was changed in 10.4 - you will now have to explicitly trigger the auto-completion by pressing "F5" (which by the way also works in many other applications like Mail, Safari, ...)

  • Can only add music with Autofill from Library (not working with playlists)

    I can only add music using the Autofill feature and it will only work when the main music library is selected. Autofill does not work when a playlist is selected and I can not add music directly by dragging songs from a library or playlist as described in the owner's manual.
    Is there something wrong with iTunes, the iPod or is this user error?

    Hi Steve,
    You're right it's the same for me.
    I don't know as you mentionned whether it is an user error or not but I've got 2 iPods now, one is 60 Go color display (60Go) and the other received yesterday is 2G iPod Shuffle (Clipod). I can't drag songs from 60Go nor to iTunes Library neither to Clipod Music. The autofill function works only from iTunes Library where I've got 5 songs only (new MacPro), somebody knows how to export 60Go music to iTunes Library ?
    Thanks,
