Safari Autofill update question

I had to reformat my HD and then updated to Tiger.
I woud like to find a way of updating the Safari in TIger with the autofill data from the backup I have of Safari in 10.3.9

Selecting an entry from the "User names and passwords" list (or from the "Using info from my Address Book card" list for that matter) and clicking "Remove" does not delete the entry. Thanks for your reply.
We have been seeing a few cases of this on the forums lately.
The next step is to find the same entries in Keychain Access and delete them there. Safari stores usernames and passwords in the keychain.
Quit Safari and navigate to your Applications/Utilities folder, open the program Keychain Access, and search for the sites where you want to remove saved usernames and passwords. Once you have found an entry that you want removed, click on it in the list to highlight it and click the Delete key. Confirm the deletion in the dialog that drops down.
Then quit Keychain Access. You may also need to reboot your Mac for the changes to take effect. Then launch Safari and look in Safari > Preferences > Autofill > User names and passwords to see if the entries you deleted in keychain access have also been removed in Safari.

Safari/itunes update question?

On thursday I started the new updates for safari and itunes, halfway thru a message said error for both updates (neither were running at the time) and now neither of them will open or run at all. Everything else is operating fine, any ideas?

Since installing Snow Leopard safari autofill won't work

I have checked the safari autofill preferences and have the top box and bottom box checked (not the middle passwords).
This used to work well as soon as I would enter one letter in a form it would complete it. Now I must type in everything even in websites I have visited often and recently.
I had the "word won't print or save as" problem but installing the new 1.1 security update fixed that but not this autofill problem.
What can I do now?

Thanks for the link, but it still doesn't work for me. It fills in some of the information but refuses to do postcodes & countries and telephone numbers are a bit random. It still doesn't do email addresses on many sites - even sites I visit every day. The only thing it gets correct consistently is the first line of my postal address. I tried deleting the contact, creating a new one and making it me - but it still does exactly the same thing.
I finally gave up and ran Chrome. Oh the joy of coming back to a site I visited only yesterday and have all the data I entered available at the click of a mouse; instead of taking minutes to book airport parking it takes seconds! It's like browsers used to be (and, incidentally, much faster than Safari and correctly renders all the sites I visit). It's so frustrating that Apple can't make something work that other browsers have been doing for decades.

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

Hi Klaus
Thanks for the welcome and offer of help -- much appreciated.

HT201541 How can I update Safari without updating the OS?

How can I update Safari without updating the OS? I presently have 10.7.5 and 1.6.1
I am getting too many notices that my browser is out of date...
b
PS, a note to Apple. You use terms like Mountain Lion, Yosemite, etc. But in other places you use
10.6, 11.7, etc. Could you be consistent? use one or the other, not both. Please. Or always use both together.

Shoot Apple, you don't make things easy. I don't want to upgrade OS as you now require an itunes account to get upgrades, and I'm against that. (until I have to).
So I switched to the chrome browser, that works.
PS, Ralph, yes, I can lookup the version numbers, but I have not felt the need to memorize them. My question is why does apple make it so difficult that we have to memorize the version number to name correspondence?

MacBook Pro screen flickers and freezes after Snow Leopard/Safari 5 updates

Hi guys,
I have a silver 120GB 15-inch MacBook Pro from Summer 2007 with 3GB RAM and 25+GB free space which has recently begun to freeze irrecoverably. The first appearance of these symptoms seems to coincide with my installing the Snow Leopard 10.6.6 update via Software Update.
I'm not particularly well versed in computer technology, but will try to describe my problem as detailedly as possible.
What happens is this:
1. I start the computer as per usual, with only a couple of startup items. Everything's fine.
2. I start working. Use a lot of Safari 5 for browsing websites, often with some kind of Flash or "Flash-type" content such as banner ads, videos, even full Flash designs. I may also have programs such as QuickTime, VLC or an image editor open, if not necessarily "actively" doing anything. Everything's still fine - I'm able to both browse websites and watch videos as usual.
3. After a while of active working - say, 1-3 hours - I notice browsing websites gets a little choppy. Display features such as the file list view in Finder may or may not appear properly. The rotating wait cursor may or may not appear from time to time.
4. Immediately after symptom no. 3, the next time I start to watch a video, either via Safari 5 (say for example something on DailyMotion.com) or a file via QuickTime, something goes wrong.
Following no. 4, one of three things invariably happen:
5a) The video freezes and the entire screen flickers from black to the screen view very quickly two or three times, after which the computer or screen appears to freeze. The cursor still moves, but nothing reacts to it - open windows become completely unresponsive, nor does the top or any other menu react in any way to clicking. The "menu row" of application items, which normally appears when I move the cursor to the very bottom of the screen, doesn't appear. Restarting "blindly" by pressing the Off-button once and pressing R doesn't work. I'm forced to do a hard reboot, after which the computer is once again fine until the next two hours of active working. This usually happens ONLY when I try to watch a video in Full Screen-mode.
5b) I notice the video freezing only just in time, and am able to pause it and "esc" out of Full Screen-mode, and the computer remains operational. However, as soon as I again try to play video in Full Screen-mode, everything described in 5a. happens.
5c) The video stops playing, and the screen reverts momentarily to pale blue before switching to the login screen. I login again with my details, and everything appears to be fine again until the next two hours of active working. The computer "starts up" a lot faster than with a hard reboot. This usually happens ONLY when I've tried to watch a video in its original size, i.e. when not in Full Screen-mode.
This happens 1-4 times a day, and it appears to depend directly on how much work I've been doing on the computer. The less I use it in the course of a day, the longer it takes until the next time it freezes.
So, in a way, I'm able to replicate this problem. 95% of the time the screen has frozen while watching or starting to watch (usually already when starting to watch) video footage, but it has also frozen a couple of times just switching between e.g. Safari 5 and an image editor or browsing a website with a Flash banner ad or embedded video content (which however hasn't necessarily been playing); today, the screen froze when I tried to open a website made entirely with Flash.
Although it could be just a coincidence, I believe this issue first appeared when I updated Snow Leopard to 10.6.6 via Software Update alongside some other pending updates, including as far as I recall one for Safari 5. The update process appeared to have gone well at the time, though, and was not interrupted in any way. I have never had this specific problem with the computer/screen before, though.
I've read a couple of threads here regarding very similar issues with newer MBP models than mine, in which it has been suggested that the fault may lie in a malfunctioning NVIDIA GeForce graphics card. Now I've had that replaced already once because my screen went unexpectedly completely blank after a forced reboot 1-2 years ago (I don't remember exactly), but according to my System Profiler info the card still a GeForce 8600M GT. Can it be failing again?
I've also had some kind of a RAM card failure once. As far as I understood it, one of the RAM cards had fried and was preventing the computer from starting up. I replaced the bad 1GB card with a new 2GB one and the problem was resolved. Before the computer died, there were also other symptoms, but they were not similar to these.
I'm also doing the Apple Hardware Test tomorrow. Any other suggestions, though, than the graphics card?
*Could this have to do with Flash or Safari 5?* Just hear me out. Even though my computer has frozen from watching a video in just QuickTime, Safari 5 has always been open in the background at the same time, and more likely than not with websites with "Flash" content open. And come to think of it, before I performed the Snow Leopard and Safari 5 updates, I used to have daily problems viewing Flash video in Safari 5, the video content either suddenly showing up as "Plug-in Failure" or crashing the browser; I've had both Safari 5 and the Safari 5 Flash plug-in "quit unexpectedly" countless times in the past, almost daily. Sometimes the "Plug-in Failure" could be fixed just by refreshing the browser view; at other times, Safari 5 would stop showing Flash content altogether - Flash banner ads (such as Google ads), YouTube and other Flash videos, everything - until I quit and restarted Safari 5. BUT - since the day I updated everything via Software Update, I don't remember this happening; it never gets to "Plug-in Failure" now. Could it be worth trying to use e.g. just Firefox for a while or is there something (e.g. Adobe Flash) that I could try reinstall? Or am I just clutching at straws here?
Thanks for reading this long, long post!

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, it may be worth making an appointment at the genius bar and having them run the test for the NVIDIA problem. Since your replacement logic board still has the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT video chip, it could be starting to happen to your replacement logic board.
I also agree with all of CMCSK's suggestions. Freezing is often associated with hard drive problems. You might also want to run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a very comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive. If you still have the original one from 2007, it's getting pretty long in the tooth and may be approaching the end of its average useful life of 3-5 years. I just recently had to replace my original 2007 Fujitsu drive.
If your drive is headed south, and is also too small, it may be time to upgrade to a larger and faster drive.
The software update probably didn't cause the problems, but it may have exposed problems that were already in existence.
Good luck!

Safari 3 Update Leads to Tears and Bad Font

what a day.
so i've updated my mac os x version 10.4.11, which included the new safari 3 update.
until i decided to do this, i would use safari and safari only because firefox and netscape had very hard to read fonts in them (also Very slow!!-on this machine), of which i've found you cannot change through preferences. well, the update to safari also changed its fonts to match the ones in firefox and netscape. it hurts my eyes/head to read and is extremely annoying. i decided to throw away safari, in hopes of downloading the old one, only to find that this isn't possible after you've completed the 10.4.11 update (see this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1241335&tstart=0 ).
sounds like it's going to be a matter of finding my disc before i can have safari again (i'm in the process of moving to a new home). although, i imagine that even after reloading safari i will still have this font issue. any ideas to why all my browsers have the same messed up font? it's almost like there is a gap within each individual letter. see here: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/Lulu_Lagoon/Picture8.png
my @ symbols do not show up in this font either.

Two days ago my Safari was updated to 6.0 and now it won't open.

Two days ago my Safari was updated to 6.0 and now it won't open. Heasder says, "Safari quit unexpectedly." Reinstalling OSX10 twice and then updating did not help. Apple support is unable to help.

Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last Safari crash for clues.
Or just have Console open when you try to open Safari.

Has anyone had trouble with safari after updating to ios 8 on ipad

I am having trouble viewing a web page through safari after updating to ios 8 on my ipad. On the left side of my screen is a list of my favorites leaving only 3/4 of the screen to view a web page. Before the ios 8 update when I clicked on the safari icon it took me to a full screen view of my favorites with icons.

Same issue here, seems to be fine on text based websites, but any with images on struggle to load.
im on 100mb fibre, and all sites work fone on other devices, just my iPad since upgrading
its loads the site slowly, displays about 3/4 of the page once loaded

Editing Safari AutoFill

I am trying to edit the information in Safari Autofill, but cannot find the form to do it. The Help information says: "Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click AutoFill. Select the items you want Safari to use.", but when I select Preferences, there is no AutoFill option. Is it somewhere else?

Thank you!!<</div>
You are so very welcome, was a pleasure.
Enjoy your mac & post if you have anymore Qs & someone will show up.

It seems the safari 5 update broke firefox access to apple developer forums

I can't seem to access the "Apple Developer Forums" link on the page: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
I had been accessing this fine through firefox, but after I did the safari 5 update last night, it seems I can only use safari 5 to get access. Does anyone know what the story is?
I get a 404 I think because it can't find an error doc to handle the get issue:
+Request Entity Too Large+
+The requested resource+
/iphone/discussionForum.action
+does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit.+
+Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.+
+Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/5.2.6 mod_jk/1.2.25 mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at developer.apple.com Port 80+

It has been fixed.

New Autofill feature question....

If I have login info for different sites I visit on my iphone will the autofill feature work for those? I can't seem to get it to work. Please advise. Thanks!

Depends on the site, so will allow it (like this one we are on) and some won't.
Do you have it turned on?
"In Settings, choose Safari > AutoFill, then do one of the following:
To use information from contacts, turn Use Contact Info on, then choose My Info and select the contact you want to use.
Safari uses information from Contacts to fill in contact fields on web forms.
To use information from names and passwords, turn Names & Passwords on.
When this feature is on, Safari remembers names and passwords of websites you visit and automatically fills in the information when you revisit the website.
To remove all AutoFill information, tap Clear All."

Safari/Autofill not working?

My Autofill form does not seem to be working.
Do you have a solution?

HI,
Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left then Delete the "Safari AutoFill" item. Quit Keychain Access.
Relaunch Safari. Navigate to a site that requires your username and password. Click "Always Allow" when prompted.
