Safari 3.1.2 not remembering specific site login

I am running Leopard 10.5.5 and Safari 3.1.2. I have one site that is giving me trouble with remembering login info in the cookie. I go to the site and have to login, even though I have it set to remember me. Then, if I change forums or try to post to a forum, it asks me to login again which is not the norm for this site. I have tried this with a new user account and it happens there also. The only factor I can isolate is that I didn't have an issue until I got the update to Safari 3.1. Prior to that, no issues.
What is driving me crazy is that it is only this one site. Any thoughts, anyone?

When you say firefox seems fine, do you mean all the time and from the same machine? In that case I wouldn't be concerned with a DNS issue, but other networking issues could be at play. First, clear the cache and remove all cookies from safari and try http://www.cnn.com/ again.

Safari 5.1 does not 'remember me'

On a certain website I use a lot, Safari 5.1 does not 'remember me' - i.e. I have to log in to the site every time I go there, whereas I was 'remembered' on previous Safari versions. This seems to be a Safari 5.1 issue; Firefox still remembers me on that website.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
Now click the Edit button. Delete the url for the site you're having problems accessing, click Done.
Now open Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the keychain for the site you have problems logging into.
You can use the search field top right corner of the KA window to locate keychains.
Quit then relaunch Safari.
Login to the site you deleted the keychain for.
Enter your user name and password.
You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain, click Yes when prompted.
If you still have problems go back to Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click Details
Delete the url for the site, click Done. Quit then relaunch Safari.
Try again.

Make ff remember a secure website password? (I don't want to change security settings, I just want to save a specific site login info)

The site has https address. I don't want ff to remember secure sites logins, but in this case the security is really unnecessary and annoying. I just want to force ff to remember this website login.
TNX

hello, sites can define that the browser shouldn't save passwords in their source-code, see [[Usernames and passwords are not saved]].
you could use an addon like the following to circumvent such restrictions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords

Safari not remembering Web Site data

I have an Iphone 5 on IOS 7.1.1, but Safari never retains website data, for example every time I visit the BBC.co.uk website it asks me to accept cookies, and the regional settings that are autodetected for the weather etc revert to defaults.
I have checked settings and:
'Block Cookies' is set to never
Do Not Track is off
I have cleared the cookies, reset the phone etc but this has made no difference. It's done this since I got the phone over a year ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
Updates:
I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?

HT203783 Safari IOS 8 will not remember passwords!!!

I have keychains turned on, I have safari names &passwords turned on, I am not browsing privately. The saved passwords is empty every time I look, so there's nothing there to edit. Every single time I go to a website that is supposed to remember my password, I have to log in all over again. SOOOOOOOFRUSTRATING!!!!!!

Thanks Cor-el. It now works on some sites, but there are still some where it doesn't work. The problem appears to be with sites that have more than just the username and password to fill in. Firefox only saves the username and password but not the other fields. It then refuses to fill in any of the fields on the site.
For instance, my bank has four fields on the sign-in page - username, security code, password, and an odd one with a number between 1 and 4 in it. Firefox only saves the username and password and so can't fill in the other fields. Actually it refuses to fill in any of the fields. It seems to not recognise the page at all.
The only way I can see around the problem at the moment is to save any that Firefox will save and use RoboForm to save the others. It means having two programs to do one job. It's messy but at least it works and I can save all my usernames and passwords and have them fill in properly.
I don't know why it is that RoboForm will save the data but Firefox won't. It appears to be something to do with Firefox only saving two fields whereas RoboForm will save any number as required.

Firefox will not remember web site passwords

I have set the security option to remember passwords. I have also set the web site to remember passwords. I still have to log in to my home page every time I open Firefox.
The home page is www.symbaloo.com.
Internet Explorer remembers it without issue.
Thanks.

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.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* 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 and won't offer to store new passwords.
* 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.

Safari and Camino both hang on specific sites

Hi all
I'm trying to help my girlfriend out with a problem on her computer. Just today, Safari stopped loading the NYTimes home page. It gets most of the way through loading the site, then hangs with a spinning beach ball. Thinking it might be browser related, I got her on to Camino, but it fails the same way. No crash, just a hang.
I read several other posts here that seemed related, and have so far tried:
1) Renaming the hard drive, and restarting Safari
2) Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash
3) Repairing permissions
4) Trying a 'new' account (I actually just logged in as Guest, figured that was enough)
and Safari still does not open successfully. It also fails on Youtube, People, etc, so does seem like a Flash problem.
This is on a 13" Macbook Duo, running 10.6.4. On my computer, a 15" Macbook Pro also running 10.6.4, both Safari and Camino work fine on the same pages.
Her machine worked fine as of yesterday, and there's been no updates to the machine since then. Any ideas on what to check?
Thanks

Thanks for the tips. Sadly that did not solve the problem.
I deleted cache.db. There was nothing in the ~/Library/* directories referred to by that link. The /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder had two things that were non-Flash and non-Quicktime related in there, one was a Shockwave file and the other was Microsoft Silverlight. I followed the instructions to uninstall Silverlight given at Microsoft's website.
After all that, Safari still hangs with the beachball at the NYTimes website and others. I noticed another post that recommended using Activity Monitor to sample the process, the output is below. Any other things to try?
Sampling process 4520 for 3 seconds with 1 millisecond of run time between samples

Safari on Windows does not remember history

It is a terribly frustrating experience using Safari on a Windows machine. I'm running 5.05 on Windows 7 and Safari has been a terrible experience for me.
It just doesnt seem to want to remember the browser history or passwords on a page. Every time I start the browser, its like its starting all over again.
Terrible experience.

no it doesnt. thanks for replying b noir - i'm absolutely hating safari right now - i wish there was something for me to destroy, but there isnt!
I'm forced to use it for some testing work and its driving me absolutely nuts to be able to use it.. its insane!
I'm thinking its a severe permissions issue due to installation on Windows 7. I think its a 64 bit machine, but Safari is installed on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\"
I dont think its saving any permissions at all - nothing nothing at ALL!

Osx will not remember my proxy login / password

I am using my mac book air on my comapny's network ( through Ethernet)
I have, as instructed by the IT guy, keyed into the network settings pane ( system pref -> network -> advanced -> proxy) my user name / password, but this will NEVER be remebered
- if I revisit the same preference pane 5 mins later, the fields are empyty ( though I had cleiked "apply")
- and differents programs ( mail, ..) constantly ask for the proxy login/password
Is there a corrupted preference file or keychain ?
Please help, I am getting mad !

Try this:
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

Dreamweaver not saving sites login info

Dreamweaver 8 is not saving my site logins and passwords,
regardless of whether or not the "save" checkbox is enabled.
This is on XP 64bit, I did not have this problem on my
previous machine running the same version of Dreamweaver and
XP64.

Search this for for "It's posted a million times - uninstall
IE7 or update
to DW 8.0.2". I'm sure you'll find your answer in one of
them.... 8)

Safari browser 5.0.6 not displaying all images on a specific site

I have a MAC running on PowerPC G5, with an OS X Version 10.5.8. I am using Safari browser version 5.0.6. I have been using the browser for years with out any problem until last week. All images show up on all sites except on one specific site. When i use Firefox to open this specific site, all images show up normally without a problem.
I have tried different methods suggested online including within this site, but the problem still persist. Can any one assist me on how i can resolve this problem and why images do not show up fully on the specific site when using Safari browser version 5.0.6?

If possible, i can send you the link via email. Please send me your email address so i can send you the URL link.

Safari not remembering multiple passwords for one site

My ffriends and I use safari on my iPhone and thus have multiple login information for one site like facebook. A few months agowe were able to go to a site, start typing in the user name and password, and Safari would show us a highlighted list of the login info that had been saved. You could then click on that info and get logged in. But that feature stopped some time ago and I can't figure it out. Now Safari only remembers the last login info. It still works the way it used to on my iMac and MacBook Pro but not the iPhone. Does anyone know how to fix it?

when the keyboard is open hold on the happy face for a second and from the menu list that pops up turn off the switch for PREDICTIVE. That did it for me. When I start typing the firts letter of the login name now it predicts in yellow and I press space and fills it in, then I have to press the delete button to remove the space before pressing enter.

Since upgrade to iOS4 Safari does not remember passwords

Since I've updated my 3GS to iOS4 via ITunes, Mobile Safari keeps asking to save username and passwords, even if I've visited the site before and said "Yes" to save username and password, at the next visit, Safari doesn't remember and I have to enter the details again.
I've already cleared Cache, History and Cookies, turned off and on the auto-fill option, but the problem persists.
Anyone got an idea ?

Apple seems to have completely missed browser user/password remember feature all over again. This had happened with iPhone 1.1.4 firmware as well. Hope they correct this issue with iOS 4.0.1 update. Apple discussion forum thread specifically mentions users with iPhone 3G and 3GS are facing this issue. Found this on http://iphoneindia.gyanin.com/2010/07/07/ios-4-0-bug-safari-does-not-remember-pa sswords/
Last time a mod called Fix Safari Cookies via Cydia did the trick - Tired of having to enter your username and password everytime you visit your favourite site? With FixSafariCookie not anymore! This package / utility overwrites your cookies and changes the permissions that safari can actually write and save your cookies.

When I open bookmarks the actual sites sometime do not show just the black screen with the safari icon while others show the actual site how can I see the actual content

I use Safari Mt Lion and when I view Bookmarks, the entire list of bookmarks show uo but on the display portion only the black screen witht the Safari icon shows while other bookmarks show the actual photo of what that bookmark is so unless I click on the bookmark on the blank ones I can not see what it is, it is inconvient because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I can not remember what I was bookmarking it for unless I can see it

Hi
I understand - sorry to have missed your point before now.
Some sites don't display those previews in safari - secure pages (https) for one, and also sites that are redirected.
Taking the example in your screenshot, the site http://fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com/ actually redirects to http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/ and Safari (rather annoyingly) doesn't 'follow' the redirection & show the appropriate preview. See the image below - the blank preview is for the blogspot address, and the one visible to the right is from going directly to the site.

Safari not remembering username and password

Hello, I have my settings set so that Safari remembers my username and passwords to make logins faster. One site I use for school has had my username and password saved since I first started using it. But all of a sudden, it's not remembering my information anymore. When I go onto the site, it doesn't automatically fill in everything like it used to. And the only way I know how to add usernames and passwords to Safaris list is when it prompts you to when on a new site. How can I "re save" my username and pasword? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You might be able to fix it by deleting the saved password from your keychain in the Keychain Access application. Search for it by the domain name of the site.
