Is 'Auto-Fill' removable?

Hello, can please someone help me. If I'm starting typing the name of a website, to be exact, after I'm typing "www." many earlier used websites are displayed in a list below. I would like to remove all this earlier web addresses and stop this function from doing so.
I tried in Preferences/Reset to clear caches, history, downloads etc. but I cannot stop it from appearing.
Also I tried to click 'Private Browsing', but its the same. I was afraid of deleting anything in my library.
I hope, someone can give me an idea. Thank you.

Hello,
I found this in the Safari Help Viewer... maybe it will help.
Deleting AutoFill information
If Safari is automatically filling in forms for you, you can turn off this feature and delete any information Safari has stored.
To turn off AutoFill and delete saved information:
Choose Safari > Preferences.
Click the AutoFill tab.
Deselect “Using info from my Address Book card” and “Other forms.”
Next to “Other forms,” click Edit. You’ll see a list of websites where you normally fill in information such as your name and email address.
Highlight individual websites and then click Remove, or click Remove All.
Click Done.
The Edit button next to “Using info from my Address Book card” opens your address book. You probably don’t want to delete the information that’s on your Address Book card since it’s used in applications other than Safari.

  • 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.

    Most Safari users are complaining about this feature. You can provide feedback here.

  • Need help with Safari auto fill.

    Auto fill problems.
    1. It's spotty in its application. On some pages it works fine and fills in all fields with one click. On others it says "can't complete form", but then as I begin typing each field, it gives me fill in options. Why can't it just fill them in from the start?
    2. My name and phone number fields have bad values that it tries to fill in. I keep entering the right stuff on new forms, but it never seems to "learn" them. How can I find and remove or overwrite the bad values, without deleting all the other fields it has learned properly (do not want total reset)? I think it is getting the last name first version of my name from address book where I have that option set, but I don't want that in my web fill ins.
    3. Is there a master auto fill template somewhere with field names and values I can edit? Or does it collect this for every different URL I ever fill in, and so there is no way to set values I want used in all web pages?

    HI,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to *Other Forms*. Remove all.
    And under the Autofill tab, make sure: *User names and passwords* and *Using info from my Address Book card* are both selected.
    If you have problems logging into a site...
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) Now open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
    Now relaunch Safari. Login to a site with your user name and password as you normally would, then click Yes when prompted. That will create a new keychain for you.
    Keychain Access stores your passwords securely.
    Or does it collect this for every different URL I ever fill in,
    Correct. But only if you have *user names and passwords* and *Using info from my Address Book card* selected in Safari / Preferences - Autofill.
    Another suggestion when having problems using a website, is to delete the cookies. Go to Safari / Preferences / Security. Click *Show Cookies*. Delete the url's for that site then relaunch Safari.

  • Safari Auto Fill Issue - Same domain with multiple logins

    Hello Group,
    I am working with Safari's Auto Fill feature for user names and passwords on website pages that I log into and it is not doing what I would like it to do. For some reason I am unable to save more than one login per domain and is not seeing the entire url path. If save my user name and password for say this url path of ************* it will save the user name and password but when you look in safari->preferences->autofill, its only showing the top level of the domain and not the entire path.
    And if there is a different page on the site located at a completely different url path such as *********** that I need to log into and I try to save a user name and password for this different url path, it asks me if i want to update the current user name and password, and I don't want to do that, I want to save a new different user name and password for this second login screen.
    Is there anyway to get this to see the entire url and remember separate logins for each different page on the same domain? Thanks.
    Doug
    <Edited by Host, URL's removed>

    To the moderator. Thank you for approving my post, but how am I suppose to show what I am talking about if you go and remove the url examples I put in my post? The links were not bad, spam or etc, they were just examples paths I made up.

  • 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.

  • Firefox fills in forms at a certain website (disabled auto-fill)

    After I had some problems with it (+ security issue) I decided to delete all passwords from my firefox.
    When I had done this most of the annoying auto-fill-in stuff was solved, however at one website (which I visit quite regularly) it seems to keep filling in one particular username and a password wherever there's a field for either one. Even if it's just a normal field with a title it'll fill in that username.
    How can I get rid of this?

    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.

  • Auto fill feature stopped working

    My PowerBook died, and I ended up with a new MacBook, but same OS X and same version of Safari.
    Now, for many web sites, it does not auto fill, until I enter the 1st character of the 1st field?!
    Does anyone know how to fix this?!
    Mark

    Mark,
    Experiment with your Safari>Preferences...>AutoFill settings.
    The AutoFill Web Forms selection has three choices, and each one of them has an "Edit..." setting.
    One of these is obviously causing your problems.
    You can edit individual settings, remove some, or remove all of the setttings.

  • How to modify the "To:" auto fill address field

    I want to change and/or delete address's that auto fill in the "To:" field of mail.
    Is this possable?

    The Mail.app stores all message recipients in a list of Previous Recipients and the address autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients.
    At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
    A previous recipient already entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name or email address. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.

  • I want to add "auto-fill" - which is a secure one? If they are in the FF web site, are they checked out for security?

    I used to have Google auto-fill, but that is gone since updating FF. If a add-on (like auto-fill item) is on the add-on site, is it safe? Has it been checked out for security?

    Which ''spyware software'' software did you run?
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

  • 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.

  • Wrong auto-fill info

    Today I attempted to use auto-fill for an online order. When I selected auto-fill it filled in the form with someone I don't know. All their information was there.
    The address is non-existent and it's an unkown phone number. It is not someone that is anywhere in my address book. This is the first time this has ever happened. All I did yesterday was use software update for the security update issued.
    Any advice? Should I be very nervous right now??

    Strange, although I don't believe there is any cause for alarm. Did someone else use your computer?
    To remedy, go to your Safari Preference file (Safari Menu) and select Auto-fill.
    Next, select "edit" for other forms. Remove the web site in question.
    Some prefer to deselect "other forms", or review it on occasion, deleting no longer used web sites. If the file gets bloated, it can slow down Safari.
