Facebook not staying logged in
I have just upgraded to the ios 7 and since then my facebook will not keep me logged in. Have to keep logging back in. it logs me in with the mobile site then goes to the main site but used to always keep me logged it. I am using the iphone 4.
Cheers, Clare
Didn't find an answer in any similar thread, so kept experimenting.... My problem was solved when I turned off "Private Browsing." If you close a web-page, you should see a grid of your "Favorites." In the lower left-hand corner, the word "Private" appears. If it is darkened, you are in "Private Browsing." Click on the word to lighten it, and I think your problem will be solved, as was mine. Hope I haven't misled you or others.

Sony Extras for Facebook not staying logged in
The Extras app for Facebook for the Smartwatch is not staying logged in. I open the smartwatch app and go into the facebook extras app and in the settings login. It updates once then shows up as I need to login on the phone. I went into facebook on my computer and removed the extras for facebook permissions then tried relogging in via the extras app but it does the same thing again. Updates once then logs out. I have also removed and reinstalled all the smartwatch extras and smartwatch app and repaired my watch with the phone (Xperia Z) still the facebook one logs out after the initial update.
I got an response about this.
The described problem can't be replicated. When you check the enable box in the SmartWatch App and the "Logged In" box in under Facebook settings you will be prompted to login to facebook on your smartphone. When you allow to save the password you should be kept logged in.
Please make sure that this has been done and get back to me if you're still having problems.

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. -
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. -

Can't get Safari to stay logged in to sites.
I want to make the Switch from Google Chrome to Safari, but this has proved impossible so far, because Safari will not stay logged in to a lote of sites. It seems that various Internet forums are the worst offenders, but I've noticed it on occasion with my Gmail account and a few other things as well.
I've tried most of the obvious things: Deleting cache, cookies, and whatnot; turning on "always accept cookies," rather than the default about ignoring ones you don't manually visit, which shouldn't be necessary anyway; deleting some entries from Keychain Access; even deleting Safari's settings .plist file. None of those have worked. It almost seemed good again for a brief moment, but then I once again got stuck in an endless loop of logging in (i.e. navigate to forum page, goes back to login page, I log in, navigate to forum page, goes back to login page, repeat ad nauseam.)
I don't have this problem with any other browser I've used, and it's pretty much a deal breaker w/r/t using Safari as a default browser. I've read quite a lot about this being a very common problem, but I couldn't find any great answers, not to mention that a lot of the stuff I found was years old.
Any ideas?Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Staying logged in to websites with Safari
Hi all,
I'm new to MAC and appear to have come up against a common problem i.e. Safari not staying logged into websites despite ticking the 'stay logged in box' Yahoo! is an example of this.
I've trawled through the net looking for answers but it seems this has been going on for some time.
Anything new that actually works?
(Running a new i5 iMAC with OSX 10.6.6)
Thanks.If you are running v10.6.6, update your software. Latest Snow Leopard version is v10.6.8 and Safari 5.1
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update.
And from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Details
Delete the website url's you have problems accessing then click Done.
Restart your Mac. -

I have windows Vista and have the updated version of Firefox. I also can run OPERA and LUNASCAPE with no problems. When running Firefox I have to constant re log-in to my Yahoo account every time I leave the page. For example: I log in to check my email on Yahoo and then leave my email page. Then when I return to recheck my email I have to log in all over again. I can't stay logged in. If I run my OPERA browser I stay logged in for days without having to sign in all over again.
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

When I click on the Firefox logo it owns screen and the mail box button appears. I click on that and it requires me to enter my e-mail address and password. There is a box with a checkmark in it to stay logged in but it doesn't work. Whether it is once a day or 4 times a day I go to Firefox to look at mail I have to put in the full e-mail address and password even though the box is checked to stay logged in. I really like firefox as a browser but we have to fix this for me to stay with FireFox.
Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

Safari will NOT allow me to stay logged into Yahoo.
What gives? Yahoo has a feature that allows a user to stay logged in for 2 weeks, but every time I shut off safari I am logged out.
If I use firefox I stay logged in, but I really would prefer to use safari.
Any one else having this problem?Since none of the usual fixes seem to resolve this issue, it looks as though it's something at the system level, but I don't know what that would be.
The only suggestion I have at this point is to apply the 10.5.4 Combo Update (even if you've already done it before) and that may fix this problem. Just be sure you have a backup of all your critical files and programs before you do this, just in case the unthinkable happens.

As of 3/30/13, when logging off of Facebook using the Facebook App, it will not log me out. It is now permanently keeping me logged in. No problem logging off of Facebook when I do not use the App. Is there anyone that can tell me why this is happening and what I need to do to Logout of Facebook. I like using the App for Facebook but I also want to be able to log off, I do not like to stay logged in. Is there something different with the latest Apple software I downloaded a couple of weeks ago, IOS 6.1.3?
it also could be something different, if you try google hangounts. change password and log out it still recieves notifications. its how apples handles the "channel" notification system for apps that recieve notifications or do backroung sync, and im sure at some point that security hole will be a hijack point. i think its called XO auth. and is why it can maintain session even after an apperant logout
if you go to the app and it shows you have logged out but are still recieving notifications then that is evidence of the bug.
also look and find the option for "keep me logged in" i remember in the past that would allow a autologin after logout. also if the app does NOT save the logout status correctly in its "memory" the above refereced system will auto login you with the XO app authentication.
if there really is no keep me logged in option. then what crh24 said, they designed it delibertly to keep you logged in. though i never remember a problem on my ios 6,. are you on ios 7, bunny hop? -
This has happened with previous Firefox updates but only after the initial update. Once I logged into websites such as facebook, yahoo, hotmail etc. I stayed logged in and was able to access these sites without having to log in each and every time. I have checked all boxes on these and all other sites to remember passwords and to keep me logged in and I still have to log in on each new visit. I rebooted my computer and this did not help. I made sure that Remember Passwords was checked on the Security tab under Options in the Tools for Firefox.
How can Mozilla be contacted to report this problem directly to them instead of posting to a forum?

Ipod touch will not stay connected to network after trying to use scrabble
I had a new ipod touch and purchased the scrabble app from EA games. I could not log into facebook to load my games onto the app on my touch. The ipod would send me to my home page and disconnect me from the internet. Eventually my ipod would not connect to the network at all. I called Apple and they determined that the ipod was faulty and sent me a new one. Upon receiving the new ipod I downloaded and tried to use Scrabble again not thinking that the problem was the Scrabble app from the get go. Now again my ipod will not stay connected to the network. I have deleted the Scrabble app and reset my network settings and still nothing. It will occasionally connect but I cannot do anything with the ipod. However, it will work when plugged into my computer. I have contacted EA Games with the problem and they have "escalated my issue to their expert team", but I have yet to hear anything back from them. Anyone else having similar issues and know how to resolve this?
