Safari Autofill stopped working

Hi, since the last update last week, my autofill has stopped working. I have Safari 4.0.4 on a 20 inch iMac, 2.4 Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo, with 3GB Ram. My software is 10.4.11.
My autofill is turned on the address checked is valid, yet the autofill stopped working. On some websites, I can trigger it from the Edit file, but usually it says the information doesn't match.
Can anyone help? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Martha

Carolyn, thank you SO much for this!!! I haven't tried it yet because your reply came after I had been on the phone with Apple for 3 hours and with 4 different people.
What we found was that as soon as I marked my Vcard as "Make this my Card", the autofill started working again but it doesn't give the phone number anymore. It gives all else but the phone number. We set up a test user account and even in that one, it would give all information except for the phone number. Finally the 4th technician said we were going to delete safari and download a new one and I said I wanted to wait on that. I was exhausted by then.
With this new information, should I go ahead and try your suggestions or is there something else I can try? The apple people and I tried everything we all could think of but I know that you forum members can have ideas that escape the best technicians.
Thanks again, Carolyn, and thanks in advance to everyone else too.

  • Help! Safari Autofill stopped working for no reason.

    My Safari autofill has suddenly stopped working. It used to be that when a form came up on safari I could start filling it out and hit tab and it would fill in the entire form. Now it looks like it might fill in that line, but if I hit tab it doesn';t even complete the line that is highlighted. I think this started to happen after I did the latest OS X software update -- I am now running 10.4.11. I checked autofill on safari and it seems to have all the appropriate boxes checked. And if I go to the pull down menu and pull down edit and do autofill forms, it will do it. But why won't it do it using tab any more?
    thanks so much,
    Katarina

  • My autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

    my autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

    Back up all data, then test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    1. Press the down-arrow key. (Credit to ASC member iNeight.)
    2. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
    3. Click in the first field to be filled, and then select
    Edit ▹ AutoFill Form
    from the menu bar. You may have to reload the page in order to do this.
    4.  Select
    Contacts ▹ Preferences ▹ vCard
    and uncheck the box marked
    Enable private me card
    if it's checked.
    5. Select your card in Contacts. Then select
    Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.
    6. In Safari, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ AutoFill web forms: Using info from my Contacts card
    If the box was already checked, uncheck it and then check it again.
    7. 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. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    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
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
    8. Run Software Update and install any available updates.

  • Safari 5.1.5 on PC. Windows 7 64 bit. My favorite browser is not working. Please help. I keep getting a window in the middle of a page saying ''Safari has stopped working'''''

    Hello.
    My favorite browser Safari (5.1.5 ) has stopped working. Yes I know is on a PC. But is been very good to me for a long time, untill about two months ago. I keep getting a pop up message saying "Safari has stopped working" I will close the pop up message and continue working but within a few minute, the message will pop up again. The browser opens up fast as always and runs fine but the message is a pain and annoying. I'm running Firefox now , but I want my Safari back . Please help.

    First, open your Action Center and expand "Maintenance". Click "View reliability history":
    Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:

    I generated the problem report similar to the above screen shot " by way of IE 9 "  but will not let me copy and paste the contents as a screen shot in reply to your post here . Copy to clipboard did not work either. I might be doing something wrong. Oh well.
    By the way , the only difference is- The Problem Event Name of mine is not BEX. but rather : APPCRASH. Fault Module Name : JavaScriptCore.dll.  Fault Module Version: 7534.55.2.1. The rest are very similar to the above screenshot. If you need more information then I guess I have to do it  all manually. Please let me know. Thanks again.

  • Windows 7 64-bit: Safari has stopped working

    Help needed! I am one of those guys that has to use a Windows machine at Work. So I have a Windows 7 64-bit OS on my work laptop. I use Safari at home on my Macs. Since I have a browser choice, I surely want to use Safari 5 on my Windows 7 machine but so far I am having no luck. Safari runs for X minute (time varies) and then all of sudden crashes with a message "Safari has stopped working." I have uninstalled Safari, manually cleaned up all the Safari folders that go into user account preferences, ran a registry cleaner via WinUtilities so that all traces of Safari are gone. Then did a fresh install with Administrator privileges (I even tried the install with my own login ID) but either way the result is the same -- Safari 5 crashes at random. What can I do to make Safari 5 on Windows 7 stable? Please advice.
    Thank you!

    Fingers crossed, the problem reports for those errors might cast some fresh light on the source of the problem.
    Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel (or the Windows 7 equivalent ... the Action Center?) and look for recent Safari problem reports. Open them up and look through. Do they all seem to be saying the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

    Go into your Action Center, find your Problem history and look for Safari problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the Safari problem reports and have a look through them. Do they all say pretty much the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Safari has stopped working (MSVCR80.dll)

    I get a Windows 7 error "Safari has stopped working". I've tried a number of things (e.g., uninstalling and installing Safari, re-installing Windows 7, disabling plug-ins, disabling Java, disabling Javascript, uninstalling itunes, ran CCleaner, Malabytes, etc.). I'm practically running barebones in terms of running apps. But, nothing seems to get rid of this error. I would try Restore before I saw the error, but the earlier dates for restoring are missing, so I cannot restore the computer to an earlier date before I noticed the problem.
    The browser works fine for about 5 minutes, and then gives the error. What can I do to get rid of this pesky problem? I like Safari and want to continue using it, but I am at wits end...

    Any thing else to try before giving up on using this browser??

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    Then close Safari. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. 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 or anywhere above the task bar.
    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.

    Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

    every time I try to use internet, the application(firefox/safari/chrome) stop working but when I use the modem on windows it works great. whats the problem?

    I just spoke with Tesco technical support (having been transferred to them by Clubcard support), who told me that the problems people are experiencing when visiting the Tesco site via Safari aren't currently being addressed because "not enough people have called to complain about it".
    I asked what percentage of people he thought might make the effort to call instead of just giving up. He replied that he would be one of those who just gave up.
    So it would seem that if we would like the problem to be resolved, we each need to take a few moments to CALL TESCO and ensure our complaint is logged by the technical support team.
    Every voice helps
