How do I delete auto-fill logons?

Sometimes an erroneous logon gets typed in for a site and that logon is saved somewhere. I want to go to that place and delete the incorrect logons I have accumulated from that list. If I have to, I would delete all logons and start over just to get rid of the bad ones.

I want to Thank You Very Much for responding to my question with the exact answer I needed! It works perfectly.
I have tried several other software "help" forums in the past with little or no success. This is the first time ever I received a very quick response from someone who not only knew what they were talking about, but actually understood my problem! I can't thank you enough.

How do i delete auto fill emails on ipad

how do i delete auto fill emails on ipad

If you mean that when you start to enter an email address it completes the address with the incorrect one then the answer is no without restoring the iPad to factory defaults/new iPad.

How do you delete "auto-fill" addresses in Mail?

When you start to type a name in Mail, it gives you a list of email addresses associated with that name. Problem is, it'll list multiple email addresses for the same person even if you've deleted old addresses from Address Book.
Is there a way to delete some of these "auto-fill" addresses?
Thanks

How do I delete auto download of ios7

How do I delete auto download of ios7

I found a solution from a Chinese website called WeIphone (http://www.weiphone.com/)
Here is the original Chinese version if you are interested: http://bbs.weiphone.com/read-htm-tid-7022768.html
Now I will try to retell the solution for those who prefers English:
Notice: This guide is for those who still have iOS 6 running on their devices and only want to delete the update file for iOS 7 automatically downloaded. For those who have already updated their devices to iOS 7 and want to downgrade to iOS 6, this guide will probably be useless.
Part 1. How to prevent iOS 7 from being downloaded automatically:
If your device has already downloaded iOS 7 automatically, please skip this part and read part 2.
Method A: Keep free space on your iPad / iPhone below 3.1GB all the time. You can do this by installing some large games or keep some music / films.
Method B:With your device unplugged from power, connect to WIFI and open Settings->General->Software Update. Now your device will try to find whether there is new update or not. After a few minutes, there will be a notice of new update (currently is iOS 7.0.2) and a button says "Download and Install". DO NOT press it. Now you can use your device as usual. As long as you check the update manually, it won't download it automatically. It's wired, but it works.
Part 2. Delete iOS 7 firmware downloaded automatically:
Method A: If you have backup in iTunes, recover it. (I didn't test this method, so it's on your own risk.)
Method B: Open Settings->General->Software Update, Click "Install Now". There will be a prompt says "Verifying update...", Wait until this prompt disappear, there will be a spinning wheel on the black background. Immediately press and hold both of the power and home buttons at the same time. DO NOT release the power and home buttons for about 10 seconds. Your device will reboot. It's done. The automatically downloaded firmware will have been deleted. Now read part 1 to prevent automatically downloading in the future.
My new iPad (the 3rd generation, 16GB WIFI version) is running iOS 6.1.3 and automatically downloaded iOS 7.0.2, I tried Method B to delete it and succeed. However this is not an official method so there is no guarantee it will work for everyone, please use it at your own risk.

After updating to 4.0 I lost my list of auto-fill logons. How can I get back?

I used to have a feature that captured my logon ID's and passwords to that the next time I went to that site Firefox would auto-fill the ID and password. After I updated to 4.0, I lost this capability. How can I get it back?

* 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.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically.
* 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.

Deleted auto fill Facebook/Safari keeps returning. (invalid login, dunno how it got there)

On my macbook air, Facebook/Safari there is an invalid login in the auto fill. When i delete via safari/preferences/passwords it disappears but after a while it re appears. Valid accounts can be deleted successfully but the invalid one just keeps coming back.

Perhaps a long shot. Check Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access/Passwords and see if it is there.

Deleting auto-fill for usernames on facebook in safari

By mistake, I entered my username and password into the username box on facebook. Now my password is visible in the drop down box when I am logging into the site. I have tried deleting cookies, emptying cache, and adjusting my auto-fill preferences, and nothing has worked yet. I am a new mac user, and I recall on windows, I could highlight it and press "backspace" and it would erase.. can someone please tell me how to delete these automatic username suggestions.. Thank you

Go to Keychain Access in your Utilities folder and highlight the appropriate entry and delete.

Deleting auto fill doesn't work

I've tried resetting safari settings and editing the auto fill in safari preferences, but some of my user names and passwords refuse to delete. I've tried "removing all" but about 20 usernames/passwords cannot be deleted. Why is this and how can it be solved?
Thanks.

It's possible that Safari preferences have been corrupted. But you can still remove the usernames and passwords by opening Keychain Access and locating them in the Passwords > Internet list there and deleting them.

How do I edit auto fill information, eg zip code

My zip code has changed. How can I change the auto fill data to reflect the new zip.

You can highlight that entry in the drop down list and press the Delete key to remove it.<br />
Firefox should remember the new ZIP code when entered.

How do I remove auto-fill items?

Hi,
When I type in "w" as the start of a url in the address bar, a list of 4 or 5 previously visited sites pops up immediately. I have tried disabling auto-fill, deleting all my bookmarks and reinstalling them, deleting history, cache etc., and it still happens. Actually it's stopping me using Safari as my browser, and I'm now using Chrome instead. How can I fix this issue in Safari?
Thanks,
Richard

HI Richard,
The only alternative at this time is to turn on Private Browsing.
From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Private Browsing.
Safari won't remember pages you visit, history, or AutoFill information.
When I type in "w" as the start of a url in the address bar, a list of 4 or 5 previously visited sites pops up immediately.
Most Safari users are complaining about this feature. You can provide feedback here.

How do you get auto fill to use the right E-mail address?

Hi Everyone
My address book card has multiple E-mail addresses on it. Yet when I want to use auto fill to fill out a form, 100% of the time it's just one address I want to use. The problem is safari always uses only one of the addresses and it's not the one I want to use. Is there a way to change which address (or any other field) from your address card is used in auto fill?
TIA
K

Since you don't say how many email addresses you have on your own card or which of them it's picking, I'll assume it's choosing the first one in the list. If that's correct and it's not the one you want, you need to change the order of addresses to make the one you want be the first one in the list.
Other than that, you cannot set a default item for any field.

How to Transfer Safari Auto-Fill Passwords to Chrome

How do you transfer all of your saved auto-fill passwords from Safari into Chrome?
It won't let me do it in Preferences/Personal Stuff/Browsing Data
The box "saved passwords" is grayed out and it won't let me select it!
Thanks in advance for any help!
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE I AM RUNNING:
2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
OS 10.6.7

The box "saved passwords" is grayed out and it won't let me select it!
Are you referring to: Manage Saved Passwords ??
Your passwords are stored in Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
Click the Personal Stuff tab.
Adjust your password settings in the "Passwords" section:
Select "Offer to save passwords" if you want Google Chrome to prompt you to save your password every time you sign in to a new website.
Otherwise, select "Never save passwords" if you don't want Google Chrome to ever save your passwords.

How do i get auto fill to work in numbers

hi i have a list of text in my spreadsheet colume that changes on each line. please tell me how to use auto fill thus allowing me not to write the same taxt over and over

please tell me how to use auto fill thus allowing me not to write the same taxt over and over
Hi Dakota2710,
I also agree that the attitude toward finding ways to work with Numbers 3 could sometimes be a little more positive and helpful.
Regarding your question:
That behavior, now called "autocomplete text in cells", has disappeared from Numbers 3.0 but Apple says it will reintroduce it sometime within the next six months.
Meanwhile, If you frequently enter repeating values in a column and don't want to type the same text over and over again you could consider formatting the cells in the column as Pop-Up Menu. In many situations this has clear advantages over "autocomplete." It's easy to set up:
If you've selected the whole column before formatting as Pop-Up Menu, your existing values in that column will pre-populate a menu automatically:
Then you remove the values you don't want in the list, such as the column header (and possibly some previous spelling errors too!):
And after this easy one-time setup all you have to do thereafter is to choose from the pop-up list when you add rows:
In Numbers 3.0 there's no keyboard shortcut to activate the menu such as hitting the spacebar in the old Numbers (hope they'll add one in upcoming versions) but the Pop-Up Menu approach has some advantages over autocompletion: no spelling errors or lack of capitalization when there should be capitalization, etc.
And should you ever want to take your Numbers with you, in a touch interface pop-ups are much more efficient than typing the first few letters of items.
See this thread for this and other workarounds for Numbers 3.0.
