Not remembering passwords even though "remember my passwords" is checked in security
I recently updated to Firefox 4.0. After that, websites are not remembering my username and password even though, "Remember my site passwords" is checked in Security.
Looking for resolve.
cor-el -
I mean that if I go to a site and enter a username and password, I am not prompted to remember the information and if I am, when I close Firefox and reopen and go back to the site, the information is blank, nor does it appear if I start to type the first few characters.
If I go into the password manager to look for sites that should have password information there is nothing in the box.
I am going to try to be specific regarding my settings, please keep in mind that this is how they have been set since I started using Firefox and up until I upgraded to 4.0 I had not problem.
*In Privacy the settings that I have always had checked are:
Remember download history
Remember search and form history
Accept cookies from sites
Accept third-party cookies
Keep until: I close Firefox
Clear history when Firefox closes
*In Security settings that I have always had checked under Passwords are:
Remember passwords for sites
Also, when I select under View -> Toolbar: Menu Bar and/or Bookmarks Toolbar once I close out of Firefox and then reopen it, they are no longer visible.
The option for Permanent Private Browsing is not checked.
Look forward to any further information anyone can offer.

I use Windows 7 with FFox6.
In Tools>>Options>>Security have checked in box "Remember passwords" However when entering passwords in web-sites FFox does not even offer the options of whether to remember the passwords or not.
Is FFox 6 still at experimental / trial stage with this function not yet enabled in development? How can I enable this function? OR will it work if I should uninstal and reinstal FFox?
Thanx
PBTry a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important) -
incoming mail does not appear automatically even though preferences is set to check for new mail every minute
If by download bar you are referring to the spinning gears, they are gone in Mail 6.5. There is no indication Mail is checking for Mail. If it finds Mail, it will show it downloading in the lower left hand corner.
Under the Window menu there is Activity. Try opening it and you should be able to see if Mail is checking for new mail. -
I'm having a problem where Firefox keeps asking for my Amazon password, even though I tell Firefox NOT to remember this password. In Firefox options, Amazon is clearly listed as a site for which not to save passwords.
Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords. -
Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 on my iPad2, it does not remember my passwords, even though I check "keep me signed on". Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? I did not have this issue with the previous OS. Thank you.
Thank you, James, but I do have a WiFi connection on the iPad mini. The Numbers files update on my iPad third generation and iPhone just fine when connected to the same network.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you! -
I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?
OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

itunes will not recognise my encryption password even though it has been reset. cant restore to last backup?
I'm not aware of a way to reset the password for an encrypted backup. If you have forgotten the password for an encrypted backup, your only alternative is to put the phone in recovery mode and restore it as a new device. Your data will be lost.

My email account got hacked so I changed the password and now when I try to get mail it just says operation can not be completed even though I have typed in my new password what do I do?
Can you acces the the account on another device?
Try contacting your email provider. -
Having problems signing into Facetime on ipod touch. Everytime I try it says I don't have the correct user ID or password. But, they work fine to sign in for Itunes. HELP!
I had this problem too. As it turns out, when you first sign in to FaceTime, it saves that password. If you have changed your Apple ID account password since the first time you used FaceTime on your device, it will reject that password, even though it is right. Basically, FaceTime thinks it needs the original password. This means that you will have to restore. If you haven't changed your password though, I am not sure.

Example is facebook as soon as I get to the log in page it fills in my password even though I have never asked it to remember my password. I am afraid to do other sites on my mac because others use it and i don't want them accessing my bank accounts. How do i make sure that it won't?
Some sites use cookies to remember login details. Delete the cookies for the site, and when you next log in check for a setting similar to "Remember me" or "Always keep me logged in" and make sure that it is not selected.

After updating my iPad to IOS 8.1.2, I am unable to access the Cloud with my password, even though it worked on my Macmini. I changed the password and it still does not work on the iPad. What can I do to get iPad to recognize my Apple ID/password account?
I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above) -
Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 sleep requires password even though i have set to open automatically.
Since upgrading to osx 10.8.2 on my mid 2009 Mac Book Pro 15 inch, It requires me to enter my password even though automatic login is turned off. It never required this before. Why is it doing this now since the upgrade?
Try reinstall iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
If that fails then I think you need to reinstall the OS. -
This concerns my apple tv. Cant get it to recognise my user id or password even though I've repeatedly verified it on my computer.
I was having the same problem. After reading a few threads, restore your Apple TV to its original factory settings (approximately 15-20 minutes) and try logging in again. It just worked perfect for me!

Wants password even though it's got it
I noticed since I loaded Entourage that Mail's been acting a little goofy. It'll prompt me for the server to use when sending a message and sometimes ask me for the password even though it's stored in the Account settings and on the keychain.
I've since deleted the mail accounts from Entourage but it still does this.
Any ideas here?
thankscool. There was some problems there related to the email accounts so it looks like that was the culprit.
All fixed.
Thank you for your help.
