ITunes not saving password

Since iTunes 9 it doesn't save the password on iPhone or pc. Please advise.

Since upgrading to OS 3.1 my iPhone 3G is prompting me for my Apple ID password a couple of times per day (pops up message to enter password for iTunes Store)even though is is saved in the Store Settings as the password saved and I've re-entered them a couple of times just incase they got scrambled or something. Seems almost like the iPhone isn't check to see if a password is there.
I did look at the article provided by Jason L, but it doesn't seem to be relevant in my case as my iTunes seems to be fine and it's just an iPhone password issue.
Note: I've been reluctant to do a full restore or anything like that, because of all the reports of people have their phones stop receiving calls etc after doing the OS 3.1 update. Thankfully that hasn't happened to me. lol... if anything my issues with losing reception and not being able to get it back seem to have been fixed since the 3.1 upgrade and I'd been having those since pre OS 3.0...
Anyway any suggestions on how to fix the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Powerpivot 2012 on Excel 2010 - External Data connections not saving passwords, having to re-enter password EVERYTIME I refresh data

Hey Guys,
Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
Thanks

Hi there,
My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

ITunes not saving settings

Every time I start iTunes after a reboot, the "first-time" wizard pops up, and my settings are not saved. I have tried to unset the Application Data folder from Read-Only, and I have tried deleting both of the .prefs files. This seems to happen every time I install a new program or modify the registry in any way. How can I fix this problem?

Any help?

Mail Not Saving Passwords

OK...here's my system config: MacBook Pro, 17" (MacBookPro2,1), OS X 10.4.10 (8R2232). So running the latest version of Mail.
Please note that my Jabber account in iChat is exibiting this exact behavior.
Basically, every time I start mail, it asks me for the password for each of my mail accounts. This has happened before, so at first, I thought nothing of it. Then, when I realized that it was every single time, I looked in prefs and realized that the password field was blank for each account. So, doing what I thought made sense, I went through each account, added the password, and saved it.
Then, the next time I launched mail, it did the sam thing: asked me for the password for each account. I looked, and low and behold, the fields were blank again. So, I added the password to one, saved it, then clicked on it again, and yes, again, it was blank. So basically, Mail is not saving the passwords to my accounts. All other information can be changed and it will save properly.
I went to Keychain Access and did a repair on the Keychain, and it fixed nothing. Is this a Keychain corruption? Do I have to delete my entire Keychain to fix this problem?

ITunes not saving artwork

iTunes seems to save artwork OK if it has downloaded it itself, but if I paste artwork into the 'Get Info/Info.Artwork', although I see the correct artwork and the associated checkbox is ticked, the artwork is not saved.
Any ideas??

Can you see the artwork in the artwork column or when playing that track?

Firefox not saving passwords - Mac Pro

Hi.
I recently had to reinstall my bootdrive and software. Since then Firefox will not save my passwords. I am using a Mac Pro OS 10.6.8,
Firefox is 33.1.1. I thought it was firefox, so I tried Safari and Chrome - same problem. My preferences are set to "Remember passwords for sites". There are no exceptions listed. There are no saved passwords listed either. Under Privacy > History. "Remember history"
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
Brian

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history;Use custom settings for history -> Always use Private Browsing mode).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
It is possible that there is a problem with the key3.db file and the logins.json (signons.sqlite) file that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
You can rename the key3.db file (key3.db.old) and logins.json file (logins.json.old) and a possible signons.sqlite file (signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.
Otherwise you can rename the files to their previous names (key3.db and logins.json).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

The Mail account is not saving password

Ok so i have done all the things that the Help suggests.
When I want to save a password of my Mail account into password, I click Save to keychain...but it doesn't.
I've checked to make sure the settings for the Keychain are not blocking the 'save' etc.
So when i go to get mail on my different accounts..it constantly asks for the password.
Wierd thing is that the MobileMe one IS saved...this is a new MBA (Jan)
Any Suggestions...
Regards

Hello
Glad to see you are using the Help menu, it's great for 'how to' but perhaps this is a troubleshooting issue.
You say it doesn't save the password in keychain, you can verify this. Open Mail and Keychain Access (found in /Applications/Utilities) have both windows open side by side, take note of the number of items stored in the keychain before you apply my next steps. When mail prompts for a password enter gibberish and you should now see that keychain holds one more item. If this is the case Keychain is working in this respect.
Next verify your keychains, 6 short steps.
Then try Mail again with the correct password.
Interestingly, you said that Mail in other user accounts exhibit the same issue. I suggest creating a new user account and check in a new account then to double check as I can not account for those other accounts already created on your mac.
If the issue in the new user account persists then you should see if you can login using the same password using webmail (Safari or another browser of your choice). If you can login then the password must be correct. If you don't know the URL for the equivalent email account then call your email provider or provide details and I will see if I can find it, google is my friend, and yours
If you can login using a browser then consider these follow-up articles to troubleshooting Mail in general as it is not a password issue.
One question, is this issue isolated to just one email account, do other email accounts work as expected in Mail? If you only have one email account then it's an irrelevant question on my part but I should ask.
This is a very good article. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
Use this page to determine if your email settings are correct, http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/ I doubt this is needed as per the symptoms.
Connection Doctor, built into Mail can reveal a lot, use this as a last resort in this case to report where red lights appear. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/10018.html
Kind Regards

Firefox 3.6.15 Windows 7 not saving passwords

When I enter a user name and a password, just as I did a moment ago to create my login for this forum, the information is not being saved by Firefox. The pop-up bar appears with the three buttons, Remember, Never for this Site and Not Now. However, clicking on Remember does nothing and the bar stays on my screen. If I recall, this bar used to go away after saving the password. I am using the latest version of Firefox (3.6.15) . What is new is this computer and the Windows 7 operating system. I am not really interested in a work-around, but instead why Firefox is not working correctly. I have read numerous articles and posts, but most of them are older and I suspect don't take into account the Windows 7 (with SP1 applied) issue.

I have no passwords stored yet as this is a brand new installation of Firefox, on this brand new computer running Windows 7.
When I try to save a password, nothing happens! That is the problem.
When the "Do you want Firefox to remember the password...." dialog box shows me 3 action buttons, none of them respond to clicking on them. Consequently, the passwords are not being saved.

Not saving password or username. three days ago it did know I have to enter even thou it ask if I would like it saved

Left last Weds for vacation, came home Sun and the username and password saving is gone. Have checked tools security password and it is checked to save.
Need help with restoring this option

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you and you need to sign in once again.

HT201609 keychain not saving passwords

Two days ago I called apple about an issue with my Iphone 5s. I was instructed to rest my network settings which I did. Now everytime I boot up or restart my machine I am asked to enter the passcode for the router. Additionally keychain isn't saving this password or any of my mail passwords nor my Apple ID password. I tried changing them but keychain still isn't saving the passwords. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone with Apple Tech support to no avail. The senior advisor I spoke to said he's never seen this problem before? So does that mean my problem isn't real or doesn't exist? There MUST be a solution. Please help. Now my Iphone and Macbook aren't working correctly.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

Firefox not saving passwords, what maybe blocking this pls

I am using firefox 3.6.18 (because it is compatible with my A/V) and it no longer saves passwords. I suspect something may be blocking this; but have no idea.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_report_cookies_are_disabled (Other Solutions)
You Firefox doesn't offer to store password in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in [[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: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.

FF not saving passwords....found solution

I have been having the same problem that many others have had dating back to 2012. Firefox (ver 24) quit saving and even lost my passwords. I tried "ALL" the tricks and solutions given by the experts. Not one worked! Here's is what I finally did to solve my problem.
1. Backup all your bookmarks, found under "show all bookmarks". Save to you desktop so you can find it again.
2. Find the "Mozilla FireFox" download file from their webpage. Download the appropriate file need for your system.
3. Remember where you down load this file. You'll need to re-install it as a fresh version. Also, I re-installed the newer version of "Nightly" (27.0) which is in beta and has caused some issues before. But it was the only version of FF that works for me.
4. As a precaution check to see if you have Microsoft I.E. still installed on you system. You'll need it in the event you can't re-install FF and need to reconnect to the Internet. I didn't and it got scary but all went well when I re-installed Firefox.
5. Go to the systems "Control Panel" and find "Programs and features" and "uninstall" FireFox.
6. Reboot just to clear any resident memory issues left behind.
7. Find the downloaded file for Firefox. Install it. It goes totally back to square one. You loose all your settings.
8. After install, go to "Show all Bookmarks" to reinstall you save bookmarks. It will ask where the file is so hopefully you remembered where you put it.
9. You will need to reset all your preferred settings one at a time all over again.
10. Under "add-ons" you will need to re-install all those over too. I installed "Save Password Editor" for my system and it works well. There are several to chose from, your choice.
So far my system is back to normal but I still needed to visit all the sites that use a password and completely re-enter every one over again and save them. Password editor made it easy. Copying and pasting the "old key and signon files" as suggested elsewhere didn't work. I fact, things got worse not better.
That's my solution and it worked! Good Luck.....

To Cor-el: Your assuming users know how to do that. 90% of the users have no clue of how to incorporate your solution.
Second question...where's the "solved" button? As requested by Computerwhiz.

WCS is not saving password in SMTP settings

We were using WCS for managing and reporting for our wifi access-points.
The reporting was done using email configured in the WCS SMTP settings.
The SMTP settings used did not have a password then and worked properly.
Now as the mail servers have been upgraded and authentication has become compulsory the current login settings include username and password.
When I enter the username and password in the SMTP settings in WCS and click on Test , it sends the mail successfully.
But when I click save and then test, the mail sending fails.
It is noted that the password is not getting saved or is getting saved incorrectly.
Tried this procedure for both primary and secondary mail servers and same result.
This is critical for us as now the reports are not being sent automatically as it should.

Itunes not saving user agreement

Hi if any one can help me on this sbject i would really really appreciate it!! basically since i've had my 3rd generation ipod nano this problem has occured, everytime i open itunes and click on the ipod icon the user agreement that when firt opening itunes comes up and asks me to agree and then save it and i have done this many times but it still stays there and so i can't see what songs are on my ipod or make any changes until i get rid of it, thanks 4 any answers u can give me.

Are you seeing a Continue button anywhere? Click the little Agree box then the Continue button, there's no need to save the agreement. If you aren't seeing all the buttons try increasing your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 so you can see the whole page: iTunes window does not display all options
