Autofill username/password only works on certain websites

I just started using my macbook and have noticed that autofill for usernames and passwords only functions on a limited number of websites.
I've researched this topic and only seen this answer that appears to be relevant. Some websites use a security that prohibits the saving of usernames and passwords.
If these websites were banks, or secure company portals I might buy this answer but they are not.
They are standard web forums. On my PC I used Norton password management software that saved all of my nearly 200 usernames and passwords, with limited exceptions like my bank for example. If I can not resolve this it will have a pretty huge negative impact on my web browsing experience with Safari.
Anyone know of a workaround for this or is Safari just hyper sensitive to this issue?
Is there any 3rd party password management software that functions better than Keychain?
Is Firefox a better option for password management? I'd prefer not to use multiple web browsers if possible since it complicates bookmark/favorites management.
Thanks in advance. Steve

1Password, I find it to be the ultimate password manager. You can even have it remember and autofill credit cards, address info, just about everything.
Another great feature is it can generate random, complex passwords and remember them for you so you're not using the same generic password for everything like most people do.

Password Manager only works on some websites - Chrome

I've recently started trying to use Password Manager again, but it only works with some websites, and none of the important ones for me (where security is most important, such as banking). On these websites I see no functionality at all: no pop-ups, no storing, no autoloading.
Password Manager ver. 4.70 build 2.
Chrome Extension ver. 4.60.3
Any ideas?

Nobody else has this problem? Pw Manager works fine with this site and many others, but is useless with major banks and other more security-sensitive sites.

Why does the sound only work for certain programs?

The sound is only working for certain programs on my iPad. Does anyone know why? Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you have System Sounds muted. Either the switch on the side, or double tap the home button and swipe to the right, ICON will be on the far left. If the ICON is screen lock related, then it is the switch on the side.

My apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad

my apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad what do i do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

Lost all autofill usernames & password after migration & upgrade to leopard

I recently got a new imac, migrated all my old info to the new machine, then upgraded to leopard. now safari has none of my previous usernames & passwords stored in autofill preferences. can i go back to my old machine and find a prefernce list or something to put on my new imac so i don't have to go refigure all my usermanes & passwords?
i transferred from the old half-dome imac to a new 24" imac, which i LOVE!!

Be sure to use software update to get the latest version of Leopard 10.5.1. Then, if the passwords still do not appear, try this:
I found this answer on another discussion question.
Open Utilities:Keychain Access
Click on Passwords in left column
Scroll down to "Safari Forms Autofill" and double-click
Open access control window
Click radio button that says "Allow all applications to access this item"
Close window--you will be prompted for your password.
Note: this works for other items in the password window.

Proxy definition username password not working

I am trying to create a new proxy definition for a wsdl that exists on a Microsoft Reporting Services server. The url is
http://servername/ReportServer_WEAVER1/reportservice2005.asmx?wsdl
It wants a username and password to access it which I have provided as domain\username and password. This works fine from IE and firefox but it is not working from NWDS (7.0.11). I have also tried not using the domain but still it is not letting me access it. Is there something different about the way NWDS accesses the wsdl url? Are there any settings somewhere in NWDS that I need to change?
Thanks

Hello Paul,
As suggested, please download the WSDL and import it from the local machine. To get the structure of the WSDL in design time and to implement the code according to that we need to import the WSDL in NWDS. also i think you can provide any username/password in design time, it is not at all going to give error in Run Time.

Touchscreen scrolling not working on certain websites.

On certain websites, specifically http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=37.96863533014183&lon=-91.7722025513649&FcstType=text&unit=1&lg=en using the touchscreen to scroll only selects text, and does not scroll. In addition, attempting to use the scroll bar using the touch screen causes the page to "page down" and then the scroll bar becomes unactive until you try to scroll again. You can scroll by taping in a blank part of the scroll bar as expected.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Firefox doesn't work on certain websites

I am continually running into sites that don't work well with Firefox. I tend to think it's because of the rapid-fire changes FF makes to itself, but nevertheless, it's annoying. The sites all tell me to "use Chrome" as a solution, and most times, that works. The thing is, I don't like Chrome. I have FF set up the way I want it. It is my browser of choice, despite the fact that it is losing users to Chrome every day. I don't think I will ever switch, but I really need it to work consistently. I'm having to use the portable version now because the desktop version doesn't work for me anymore. After the latest update, Flash sites won't load half the time. They too work in Chrome.
This time it is redgage.com. Most of the features only work if I use the right click and open it in a new tab. I've tried safe mode.
What is the solution to this? I don't have time to keep making adjustments to the program and coming in here to get no answers, and everyone saying they have no problems. SERIOUSLY? That's not what all my friends who switched to Chrome are saying. I feel like I'm losing my right arm.

Yes, every link on RedGage is broken. To open one in the same tab, you have to drag and drop it on the address bar.
But I think it's their fault. In the Browser Console:
13:46:52.262 ReferenceError: event is not defined MainViewModel.js
Looks like a rookie mistake in this script:
self.trigger = function (modelView, evt) {
var target;
util.hidePopup();
'''if (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey || event.which == 2) {'''
return true;
if (evt.preventDefault) {
evt.preventDefault();
target = $(evt.target);
} else
target = $(evt);
var url = target && $(target).closest('a').attr('href') || $('.filter li.active a').attr('href');
if (url)
self.do_load_url(url);
return false;
In the bolded line, "event" is a typo and should be "evt". Maybe if you point them to this thread they'll fix it. Even if other browsers work this way.

Blackberry Messenger only works at certain times of day.

a few days ago my phone crashed, leaving my blackberry messanger not working, a few hours later it started up and everything was fine, however the next day my bbm only worked early in the morning and then started up again around 4, and its did it again this morning, i have restarted it many times, i have deleted it then reinstalled it, its just very annoying it doesnt work, and im not really sure what to do with it
any help would be much appreciated

Ella, that's got to be some intermittent connect with your mobile provider.
The next time your BBMessenger is NOT working, check On your Manage Connections screen, click on the Services Status. What is the status of the BlackBerry Internet Service at that time?
ALSO: You have your mobile phone number listed as your "My Mobile Provider" or carrier. Putting your phone number out on the internet on these public forums for the world to see, is not wise. To change that, at the top of this page click on My Settings > Personal Profile > Personal Information, and in the entry block for "Carrier" type the name of your mobile provider.

Print function is not working with certain websites, specifically PNC bank

When trying to print on specific websites, all that is printed is a blank page, no content. This specifically happens on PNC website, but has occurred on others as well.

Hi vermontgolfer,
I am sorry to hear that the printing is not working for this website. If you go to about:permissions and look for the website name you can check to see if there are any saved preferences that may be causing this.
Since they are printing blank pages, please make sure that you have updated to version 29.0.1 as this was a bug in pdf.js that was fixed with this update. If you are not using pdf.js you can reset the printing settings with these references: [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

Scroll to top in Safari is not working on certain website

Hi,
I know that tapping the top status bar bring me to the top of the page on safari, however it seems that on some website I usually visit, the scroll to top function is not working. The websites that I had this problem are : any wikipedia pages, any wikia pages, some wordpress blogs.
Are there anything that exist on those websites preventing me from using the scroll top function?

Thats most likely because the web page is made fr desk top computers and is not for mobile devices. Currently there is nothing you can do about it.

Autofill for password not working

When I go to one specific website, the username is autofilled but not the password. I searched firefox preferences and hit "show passwords" and nothing was saved for that url--neither user name nor password.
So I "tricked" firefox into saving by changing my password for the account and the "save password" box appeared. Yea! I checked the pref window again and while the user name is still blank, the password is correct. The username must be coming from the "remember me" box that I checked on the website login.It isn't saving the password, either, but often sites do that
Things is--it's NOT the website b/c Safari saves the user name and password for that site just fine!

This happens when save form data is used to save only the name.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
This 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 store form data like names and passwords.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
Note that Firefox won't auto-fill a saved name automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

Flashmediaplayback only working in certain browsers?

I am having a problem with a flash media playback on my website. I have installed the flashmediaplayback.swf on my server and embedded the relevant code and the videos were playing great on my video site - no problems at all.
However I got a couple of emails from people who told me they could not see the videos on my site - they were getting just a 'black box'. So I decided to check on a different computer (my laptop) and sure enough I couldnt get the videos to play when I accessed my site via my laptop. (I got the 'blackbox' as well)
So I simply cannot figure out why the player seems to be working properly on my site, but only when accessing via certain pcs. Is this some sort of browser issue perhaps? My PC is IE8, my laptop is IE7, yet i have confirmed that someone else can watch videos using IE7, so it appears problem is not the IE browser version.
Is this something to do with the flash plugins? or would you know what is causing this strange problem, I'm baffled why videos only play for some people and not others.
Hoping someone can advise. many thanks

Hi,
FMP is hosted on Adobe servers. Are you sure it's not Strobe Media Playback you're concerned?
Can you provide more info? A link to the non-working instance?
Besides that, with the information you provided, I would ask what Flash Player version the viewers are using.
