Safari Auto Fill Stopped working

The auto fill in Safari 4 has stopped working. It used to be when I went to, say, eBay, my name and password would automatically be there. Now, the spaces are blank. But, when I type in the first letter of my ID, the rest of the ID and the Password appear, and function properly.
What happened to this, and why did it change, and how do I get it back to all being there right away?

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Where you see: Usernames and Passwords, make sure that box is checked.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities. Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the eBay keychain on the right. Quit Keychain Access. Launch Safari if it isn't running. Navigate to eBay and login. When prompted, click: Always Allow.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64.* Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

  • Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

    First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback?  Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information.  I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

    Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill.  I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open.  I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message.  Then I went back to try again and it won't open.  It drives me crazy.  I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

  • Safari auto fill only works for some sites on my new iMac

    Hi, Safari autofill only works for a few websites on my new iMac. Apple Care tried to change some settings which did not help. Autofill is checked in preference and we worked on Keychain access.
    Thank you for your advice.

    Select your card in Address Book. Then select
    Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar. In Safari, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ AutoFill web forms: Using info from my Address Book card.

  • Auto fill not working with sign-in accounts (in Safari)

    Could anyone suggest me how to have the AUTO FILL form work in my Sign-in accounts (in Safari) ?
    Could not find anything specifically on this forum, yet.
    Thanks for your help.

    HI, I seem to be experiencing a simple problem with my safari that has been going on for a while now, and it is starting to get on my nerves. As of late, safari wont auto fill usernames emails. This has never been a problem before, and I haven't altered any preference settings, please help.
    Thank u in advance

  • Why won't  Safari auto-fill work most of the time?

    Safari Auto-fill sends me a note it can't fill because the info doesn't match--but it does match. Won't even fill in address, etc. Happens about 60% of the time. Thank you!

    Hi cmate;
    You might have better luck with your Safari question if you posted it over in the Safari forum.

  • Update preventing safari auto fill help  pl

    Auto Fill suddenly stopped functioning last week.  The  only update I performed was Adobe Flash 11.9 which is why I wonder if there is a colloration between the two. Reason for colloration is because Adobe Flash update required I change level of security permissions to access automatically search link. After that Auto Fill stopped. 
    Never touched perferences pertaining to Auto Fill. 
    Also wondering if recent iOS 7 on iphone when last sync blocked auto fill.  Need to restore function concrete suggestions welcomed Thank you

    I have the latest version of Flash installed withuot any issues with Autofill.
    Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
    Then try Autofill.

  • Why did my email auto fill quit working with Yahoo mail?

    This week my e-mail address auto-fill quit working with AT&T Yahoo, but still works when using the Safari browser on my Mac. Actually found 22 posts dating back to a year ago for people having the same problem, so guess this is ongoing and happening randomly. Is there a fix, or do I have to abandon Firefox and go back to using Safari?

    I have this question too. My iphone 5 is new from t-mobile, and I restored it from my own backup on my factory-new laptop. I am curious who this person is, and whether my "new" iphone may actually be refurbushed?

    Hi,
    /Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
    Restart your Mac.
    That's why you see this:
    When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

    After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

    for ipad,
    if you go to settings-General
    You can select between using the side switch to lock rotation or mute.  If you select one mute, then the lock rotation icon will show up in the control center.  If you select lock rotation, then the mute will show up.  THe side switch is then used for the other option.

  • Safari very often stops working.

    Safari very often stops working.  I have tried to clear the history and coockies and powered off. Then Safari works on s few pages and stops again. I have checked the network by doing exactly the same things on another ipad, and that works fine. Any suggestions?

    When you say that it stops working, I assume that you mean the app crashes and takes you back to the home screen. Close all of the apps in the recents tray on the iPad, clear Safar again (delete the cookies and data) reboot the iPad and then see if Safari behaves a little better.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Cookies and Data. Now reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Auto Brightness stopped working on my 2010 MacBook Pro

    The auto brightness stopped working on my 2010 MacBook Pro (2,4ghz, 4GB). It doesn't do anything anymore. I've tried restarting. I've also cleaned the surface on the sensor to make sure there isn't any dust sitting on it. And yes, it's auto-brightness is actived. I've also tried deactivating it and reactivating it. I'm running MacOS X 10.6.4. since it was released but I've had this problem for only the last couple of days.
    What can I do ?
    Any help is welcome.

    Hi Linhtran, in regards to your iphone charger acting up its sounds similar to what happened with my macbook I decided to go to a different apple store and ask the same question the man working there said that it was highly unlikely to get two duds in a row I showed him the receipt I got from paying for them and he set up a refund and then looked at my computer and charger he said it was possible my computer was responsible for shorting them out he then took my computer in for testing and thus this was the problem and so far its been working well, I suggest going to your local apple store and telling them what's been happening and if they keep giving you the same answer and still nothings working try taking it to another store, or it could possibly be a electrical problem at your home, the reason I'm thinking this is because I know that apple integrated some kind of block on there chargers to stop high levels of electricity getting to your phone and stuffing it up so if its working in your car that would make sense because a car has a consistent amount of electricity whereas in a house or apartment building you don't know what could be happening with the wires I would try getting an adapter for your country and trying that in the meantime (considering that adapters are built for the specific purpose of converting the volts of electricity to match your equipment) and in the long term getting an electrician to come and check it out, an easy way to know wether this is happening is to see if any of your other stuff (lamps, computers ect) are having the same problem. Hope this helped! 

  • My Safari Auto fill forms never works

    My Safari (V5.0.1 (6533.17.8)) Auto fill forms never works. It is precisely tied to my
    address book card. I get this message:
    AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill.
    but every thing matches.
    And yes prefs checked to use address book.
    Any thoughts please? Thanks

    HI Steve,
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain.
    Relaunch Safari.
    Hope this helps...

  • Safari Auto-fill URL Needs Work

    When I begin typing a previously visited website URL into the address field, that doesn't necessarily mean that I want to return to the same page of that site which I previously visited. That means, while it's nice to have the auto-fill (or auto-complete; whatever you call it) function, I would much rather it just autofill the homepage URL of that site. Even though a drop-down menu appears with suggested URLs, many of us just type and hit enter, only to find we've landed someplace else. Many times, previously visited pages have been changed or deleted and, instead of getting the all-too familiar 'Error 404' (page does not exist), I have to enter the URL again, and then delete the part of it that the auto-complete has erroneously guessed that I wanted. Take a tip from Netscape Navigator 4.72 for Mac: auto-complete ONLY the homepage URL... nothing more. Thanks.

    Hi Mike
    From other related threads, seems a number of users are waiting for something different from Apple in this area. Sending feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple is one effective way of reaching Apple Software Engineers.
    In the meantime, the only effective work-around is to press the space bar before typing the URL. Of course, no prompts appear, however, the long list doesn't appear either.

  • Two major bugs in Lion - Zoom and Safari auto fill search bar

    hey there
    every since I updated to Lion I've been experiencing two major bugs... zoom randomly stops working (the one where you press control and zoom in and out) even though it's set to work on the settings. Safari is also experincing a problem concerning the search bar. mine is set to google and whilst on full screen mode, it randomly stops auto filling as opposed to what happens in non full screen mode. I actually need to get off full scren mode and go back to it to make it work again. as to the zoom thing, I need to restart my computer everytime is stops working. any ideas ?  thanx !! 

    You don't need to restart. Quit Safari or logout and back in.
