Brower will not remember log-on even if asked to do so

I downloaded a program that clears all browsing history, which it did. Upon restart I found It still goes to the websites but all I get is a white screen with blue wording down left side.
I did some resetting in my Tools/privacy/history settings and ended up with " Always use 'Private setting mode' and "Never remember history". This setting now opens the web sites correctly
BUT
It will not remember log-in status even within the same session. For example I log into my banking site fine, then choose to look at my account information and it asks me to log-in. Id and get the page.
I then want to pay a bill, it asks me to log-in ect,ect,ect,
Or I log-into my home page, It used to log-on automatically, choose to navigate to my e-mail program and again it asks for a log in. When finished I return to the home page and have to log in again.
Can anybody help.?
Thank you.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Will not remember my password or e mail even though I click remember when it comes up

When I log on to web sites Firefox will not remember my e mail and password even though I click on the remember box when it appears
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== A few weeks ago

Do you see the saved names and passwords in the Password Manager?
Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
Or doesn't anything happen if you click the Remember button?
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager (Troubleshooting)

Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox will not remember my e-mail log in

I had no problem with my e-mail until about a week ago. I made no changes before this. Now firefox will not remember my e-mail log in. I check the box (remember me) but it does no good. I went to tool (privacy) and went through the process to remember my log ins but nothing seems to help

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?

After updating to 10.10.3, now my Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2014) will not stay logged in. I log in after restarting, and it will stay logged in for 3-5 seconds then immediately log off and go back to the login screen. Any help?
By the way, I also updated my Macbook Pro 17" (mid-2009) and it seems to be running fine, though I haven't tried to restart it and log in. I'm afraid I won't be able to get this one to work either if I do.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mail will not remember account password LION

Just migrated to new Macbook Pro. Apple Mail account is set up but it will not remember the password. I have another account set up in Mail which is working fine.
Ruzzer

After much frustration and googling, I ended up finding my own solution.
My situation came when I replaced my MAIL folder with another mail folder from another account.
At first the mail account acted normally, but the next day after starting the mac my mail kept asking for account passwords on ALL of my mail accounts (a mix of IMAP and POP3).
Here are the fixes I tried but didnt work
KeyChain Access = First Aid repair (did nothing and found no errors)
Deleted my Mail plist file (again nothing changed)
Triple checked my email account passwords (no change)
The one thing that I noticed was that most people where told to delete the Mail keychain password entry in keychain. The thing is with my keychain there was NO MAIL KEYCHAIN. I think this is the big problem.
To remedy this I tried the KeyChain Access FIRST AID REPAIR again, but this time I had a look at the Key chain log and found there was over 26,000 entried. I figured they where only log files and just deleted all file. Restarted the mac and turned on mail, it will ask for password but this time it remembers the password!!!
Here is a step by step for you all:
WARNING: this will nuke all your stored keychains, be prepared to re enter any passwords or user names you may have stored.
1. Open Keychain Access (Use spotlight and search "Keychain")
2. Go to Keychain prefs (Command + ,)
3. In the GENERAL tab press the "Rest My Default Keychains" button
4. Enter your password (Press OK)
5. There will be an option to view log files, press this button
6. Select all files and delete them.
7. Restart your mac.
8. Open mail, it will ask for your mail account password
9. enjoy the stress of email again!
I thought someone else my find this useful and save them some headaches.

Update 10.5.8 Wireless will not remember WPA2 Network Name and Password

After updating to 10.5.8 last night my wireless will not remember the WPA2 Personal - Network Name and Password between boots. I have to re-enter it each time I restart my MacBook (Intel Core 2 duo). I am running WiFi 802.11A and never had this problem in the two years I have owned this mac. [Going a different 802.11 frequency is not a fix].
Anyone else having this type of problem?
Comment: These OS X updates are annoying because seems that some standard common feature stops working for awhile (until the next fix).

I was having the exact same problem after the update too, and I tried everything that all of these posts recommended and nothing.
It wasn't until I deselected the option on the network preferences for "Ask to join networks", it mentions that it will connect to known networks, so as long as its saved it should remember it.
And Voila! next time I opened my macbook from sleep it connected to the WPA (which even happened to be a hidden one too).
I hope this helped because sometimes it doesn't have to be so complicated...

Computer will not automatically log into AirPort Network

I have a MacBook Air, running OS 10.7.5. It will not automatically log into my AirPort Extreme, running Version 7.7.2 (I have to affirmitevely go in and choose my network every time I wake the computer up or open it). Another computer in my home, a Toshiba, has the same issue.
The Mac will automatically log in to other networks that I regualrly use (e.g., at work and at friends houses), and the default on the Mac is set for automatic LogIn.
The iPhones in my home do not have this issue.
Any suggestions?

You're not alone.
I've had this problem since I unwrapped my brand new Mac Pro.
Even a clean install didn't cure it.
Read this thread; http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284484&tstart=0
My 'cure', which has yet to prove itself over 24hrs, is to:
Set up a New Location in System Prefs / Network.
Deactivate all other connectivity options (Ethernet/BT/FW) bar AirPort.
Move AirPort to the top of the list.
Uncheck the 'Ask to join new networks' and 'Show AirPort Status in Menu Bar' checkboxes.
Apply settings.
I'll discover whether it works tomorrow morning, when I wake up my Mac.

Safari will not stay logged into Facebook/Pinterest/Fitocracy/etc. after Mavericks upgrade. How to fix?

After upgrading to Mavericks, Safari now will not stay logged into any site that requires a username/password, such as Facebook, Pinterest, Fitocracy, etc. I can log in and browse for a minute or so, then all of a sudden it is as if I am not logged in. As an example, Facebook will require me to log in again, remember browser, and then I get the security warning email since I have that feature activated with Facebook. It is as if Safari completely forgets everything. I believe it has to do with the new iCloud username/password sync function... How does this get fixed?

Try deleting the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
If you still have problems, try troubleshooting Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. I
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Safari will not remember passwords

I've only recently started using keychain but this has already gotten on my nerves. Almost all of my websites will not remember my password, and not just banking sites - even YouTube and MySpace ask for my password. And when I do, it gives me the "This password is different. Would you like to replace the saved password with this one?", even though it's the same.
I've searched the discussion pages and here's a list of solutions I've tried but to no avail:
- Checking "User names and passwords" in Autofill in Safari preferences
- Unchecking "Open with Rosetta" (wasn't checked anyway)
- Deleting com.apple.safari.plist
- Keychain First Aid
- Creating new keychain
- Deleting "Safari Forms Autofill"
Can anyone help me out?
Rob

I also have the same problem and have tried all the recommended solutions to no avail. I have finally switched to Firefox for most of my Web browsing because it does not present a similar inconvenience for me as does Safari right now. Nonetheless, I still wish that was not the only apparent solution to this problem for me, as I prefer Safari to Firefox otherwise.
If any of you finally do find a was to fix this once and for all, please clue me in, too.
Thanks!

Problem with In Design CS6 Unexpected Quit and will not re start up, even after computer restart?

In Design CS6 Quit Unexpectedly and will not start back up, even after restarting computer. Tried to do a CS6 re-install. It finished and said ready to use, but still getting same Unexpected Quit and In Design will not work. Did not "Un-install CS6 first" Should I try installing CS6 again, un-installing version on computer first?

Hi Ivesprepress,
You might also try resetting your user preferences
You can delete the replaceable InDesign SaveData and InDesign Defaults files by holding down the following keys while InDesign is launching:
Windows: Shift+Ctrl+Alt
Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+Command
Taken from: InDesign preferences and support file locations
