Behaving badly after upgrade: autofill; keychains, all weird

Yesterday, I accepted the automatic upgrade download thing-y, and now i have Mac OX 10.4.11. Since then, my computer's behaving oddly.
Specific issues:
1) autofill/automatic completion of familiar search terms in Safari: this no longer works. yes, i checked my preferences; couldn't actually see something that turns this function on and off, but it seems to be supposedly "working." i can see that the safari "history" COULD have been wiped out, and therefore it wouldn't recognize old search terms, but i've tried repeating one search term over and over, and it's no longer "learning" to recognize new ones, no longer filling in automatically as before; so it's not that. Also, my history and bookmarks are all still okay. Similarly, when i'm sending e-mails, it no longer auto-fills addresses (tho YES, my address book is still okay, just not the auto-fill thing.)
2) passwords and keychains behaving oddly. When i go into Safari, it waits about 5 minutes before asking me for my password! (as in: i start doing what i'm doing, and then five minutes later it remembers to ask me for my password.) it no longer seems able to fill in passwords saved in keychains....
ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!!!

Hmm ... thanks for your suggestions!
I'm pretty sure i had no haxies, add-ons, or enhancements on Safari, cause I don't even know what those are. I only had whatever came with my computer when I bought it a year ago.
As far as downloading goes, nope, I just followed the instructions when automatically prompted: "do you want to upgrade now?" So I didn't do any extra steps, with backing anything up..... (When I've updated and upgraded before, following those automatic prompts, I had no problem....)

After Upgrade to Yosemite, all apps are slow.

I upgraded to Yosemite and all applications are slow. ( as e.g.. starting to type in this box give me beachball for 2 seconds initially) A big difference in speed from Mavericks to Yosemite. Opening system preferences takes 3 seconds to load, and clicking on Users & Groups takes 25 seconds to open.
I do not have fire vault enabled. I did a safe boot and some apps did appear to open faster. Also did a repair disk and rebooted. No change. When Safari is open it takes 5 seconds to open a new window.   I ran EtreCheck and the report is as follows;
Thanks for any help;( After pasting the EtreCheck text file, I clicked on this box to add the Thanks... , it took 2-3 seconds for the beach ball to stop spinning.)

You could do that, but when setting up your new iMac it is a much better idea to transfer only your existing User Accounts. In other words when Setup Assistant appears, de-select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" and "Other files and folders". That way you will eliminate the possibility of reinstalling potentially incompatible software from your existing Mac or its TM backup. It's best to create new printer queues and preferences anyway.
Your venerable HP 1012 will probably work without any difficulty but if you need its driver download it here. If it gives you trouble try OS X's generic PostScript driver.
After configuring your user account, install original versions of your essential software from their original sources. In other words if you installed them via download from the developer's website, download them again. You might need license keys so gather them. Obviously the Mac App Store makes things easy since anything you obtain from there is already linked to your Apple ID and is easily reinstalled by going to your Purchases page.
Don't reinstall things like AppCleaner, CleanMyMac, Western Digital "Smartware" or any of that junk. You don't need it. MacFUSE is outdated. Research Prolific Technology for potential updates for their serial controller. The one you have may work, or not, but you should re-download its driver.
Consider abandoning Microsoft altogether and migrating to better solutions such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They are all free with a purchase of a new Mac and are far more integrated with OS X than anything Microsoft will ever be able to accomplish.
The Burr-Brown USB device is unknown to me, so research TI's website for support if you need it.
If your essential software was distributed on optical media, you can use OS X's "DVD or CD sharing" feature to remotely mount the older iMac's optical drive so that you can install its software. It will work as though that drive were physically installed on your new Mac. Having said that, anything that was distributed on optical media is highly likely to have been outdated a long time ago.
If your essential software is old, orphaned, no longer supported, or is no longer available, meaning you have the only viable copy, the only option is to transfer it from the TM backup or older Mac. In that case be very cognizant of the likelihood for incompatibility, and have a plan for uninstalling it should it cause adverse effects. Creating a new TM backup is the way to do that. A new external HD dedicated to the new Mac is a cheap investment. When you are certain you no longer require the older Mac's TM backup, you can erase it and use it as an additional, redundant TM backup or "clone" repository – whichever you decide is best for your backup needs.

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

After upgrade I Lost all contacts

After upgrade I Lost all contacts, can't switch contact to text, can't edit text, who knows what else is wrong? Should I upgrade again or restore backup?

Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager app on your phone or with a cloud service. If you failed to use your phone as recommended, your contacts are very likely gone.

After upgrading to iOS7, all 'albums' in 'music' are shuffled and I cannot undo. Anyone have this also?

After upgrading to iOS7, all 'albums' in 'music' are shuffled and I cannot undo. Anyone else have this also?

After doing some more searching, I've discovered the problem, and it is all mine, I'm embarrassed to say.
When I adjusted the apps to a larger size, iOS7 only allows 9 apps per page per folder. If I have more apps, iOS7 just adds more pages within the folder. So the apps I missed were there all along, just on another page.
I apologize for any confusion, and thank you for taking an interest in helping me solve it.

HT4528 How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone all photos were gone.

How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone, all my photos were gone.

What photos?
Photos taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore. If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.
Photos synced from your computer should still be on your computer an in you regular backup copy of your computer.

Safari behaves strangely after upgrading to Lion

After upgrading to Lion, Safari is behaving strangely. When re-opening Safari after quitting, all windows from previous session re-opens. It didn't used to happen and also quite annoying. How can that be fixed? I only want my homepage to open, if I individually quit the windows by the red x-button, and then quite Safari normally, it opens up as priviously. Any ideas?
thanks

It is one of the over 250 new features of the World's Most Advanced Operating System called Resume.
If this is all that's bothering you just close all windows before quitting Safari or hold Shift when you launch Safari
If the whole resume thing is overbearing then...
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Press return.
YOu can aslo accomplish this thriugh the GUI by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State/TextEdit and delete that file/
To turn off Resume globally...
chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Press return
The reverse of the first one is to replace false with true.
The reverse of the second one is
chflags nouchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.

After upgrading to iOS5 all the pictures in my camera roll are gone. Please help.

I synced my phone through itunes prior to upgrading to iOS5. Then the upgrade also backed up the phone. Upon the upgrade completing I was browsing through my phone and noticed that all the photos that were in my camera roll are nowhere to be found. Can anyone help me?

I have the same problem. I bought an iPod Touch 4G 64GB last June. After upgrading to the new iOS 5, most of my pictures, apps and music is gone. Every time I try and recover my backup the system crashes. I tried to call their technical support to restolve the problem but I was told that I had to pay $29 to solve the problem that they created. This is a disgrace.
People are saying restore the iPod but with mine that didn't help.

EXT HD shutting down after upgrade. Lost all info on a WD and G drive is starting to shut down. How do I fix? Fear my back up are going to fail.

After upgrading I have lost one WD drive completely. My WD drive with time machine has started to shut off suddenly. I have removed it and going to see if it is fried. My G drive just shut down with the same error. This has all my light room photos & have backed up all info on this drive to a new G RAID. as well as a 1T ext WD. I fear I will lose my backup of my backups. How do I fix this before I loose everything?

Not a solution, but something to try.
In the Energy Saver preference window, do you have the "Put the hard disk....possible." checked or unchecked?
Try it the opposite of what you have selected now.
Also, do you have the same problem if the energy saver is moved to Never?
 Cheers, Tom

After upgrading to mavericks, all my downloaded apps crash

Hey guys-
I upgraded to mavericks 2 days ago and love the os and the look and feel. the thing is, i have a bunch of downloaded apps like openoffice and parallels desktop and after the appstore upgrade, the apps just plain freeze up. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Help would be greatly appreciated as i need to use some apps for work as well.

Open Office works fine on Mavericks on 4 machines of mine, 2 mac mini, macbook pro, and macbook Air.
So, open office DOES work in Mavericks.
repair disk, and last resort reinstall Maverciks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452
Reset SMC
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Camera quality bad after Upgrade

I had been fairly pleased with the upgrade to my phone until last night. My camera quality is really grainy now. Is there a fix or is this just something due to the upgrade. That is really going to disappoint me because before the upgrade my camera took really great photos.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I had the macro setting enabled and after the update, I took a couple of grainy photos, but when I changed the setting back to automatic, it started taking pretty decent pictures. In fact, Gingerbread features a continous focus when taking a picture, which is supposed to reduce by 40% the time it takes to take a picture. Check your settings and good luck.
Where can I check my camera settings? I can't find where to determine if I am set for Macro vs Automatic?
Launch the Camera App -- turn the phone Horizontal. Tap the screen, once. A set of Options will pop up along the right side of the screen. Click on SCENES .... Now swipe through them - there are 5 in total; one of them being Macro. (I don't know why you can't get to these in Portrait mode. Stupid, IMHO.)
