Safari constantly logging me out of most websites...

For about the last week, Safari has been constantly logging me out of websites like Facebook, Twitter, Hotmail, etc. It is getting quite frustrating so I'm hoping someone has a fix for it. It will only stay logged in for half an hour max. Please let me know if you have any tips or fixes!

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button. Delete Facebook, Hotmail, and any other site name you are having problems accessing then click Done.
Relaunch Safari and try logging in to one of those sites. If you still have problems, go back to Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete the cookies for those sites. Relaunch Safari and try again.
If you still have problems, quit Safari. Launch Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Delete the Facebook, Hotmail, and the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychains. Quit Keychain Access. Relaunch Safari. Navigate to Facebook. Enter your username and password as usual then click Yes when prompted. Same for the other sites.

Safari constantly logs me out of gmail, facebook, twitter, everything online. How do I stop this?

Since I got my iMac 3 years ago, I've had the issue of it constantly logging me out mid-email or post, of gmail, facebook, and everything else. Sometimes it lets me stay logged in for 30 minutes, others I will be logged out every 30 seconds, ten times in a row. I'm running OSX 10.6.8 and everything has been updated. I've tried updating, basic resetting of safari, and emptying the cache.

I'd try updating to Safari 5.1.5. (It contains some fixes for issues with running in 32-bit mode, for example, and that seems to be in the vicinity of what you're getting here with 5.1.4.)

Safari keeps logging me out of all websites??

Why?? All my software is up to date...

Please enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

Safari keeps logging me out of websites, cookie related?

Safari keeps logging me out of some websites. "You are logged but your browser cookies are not enabled". In Safari preferences I have checked to accept cookies "only from sites I visit", to block third parties cookies and advertisers.
Not sure if there is a problem at all in accepting "all cookies", but, would that solve my logging issue? Would it be another cause for that?
I have Safari 5 now, but this has been happening since Safari 4.

OK now I've tried the "accept all cookies", but the issue persists.

Safari 5.1 Win 7 constantly logging me out of websites, WebKit2WebProcess.exe crashes

Finally updated to 5.1 last night, Safari now contantly logs me out of various webistes (gmail, facebook, youtube, google, hotmail, kotaku, ign, gamespot, and practicvally every website that requires log in). Also, some websites (facebook and gmail) keep telling me I have my accept cookies setting tuned off, when it's set on "only from sites I visit", had to set it to "always" before I can log in.
Also, every now and then something called "WebKit2WebProcess.exe" crashes, but it doesn't seem to effect browsing in general. But both of this problems never happened with 5.05, so I thought switching back to 5.05 should solve this.
And it doesn't, switched back to 5.05, then to 5.04 and back to 5.05 again today, only the "WebKit2WebProcess.exe" crashes stopped. Logging out bug now also happens with older versions of Safari. I tried clearing caches, cookies, and resetting Safari, nothing works.
Maybe a separate software essential to Safari thats updated with the 5.1 update, is causing the bug; and reverting back to 5.05 and 5.04 doesn't revert this buggy software? Perhaps its a software that has something to do with cookies?
I HAD TO TYPE THIS POST TWICE, BECAUSE BY THE TIME I FINISHED TYPING THE FIRST TIME AND CLICKED "POST MESSAGE", SAFARI HAD LOGGED ME OUT. WHEN I PRESSED "BACK", THE AUTOSAVE ONLY SAVED HALF OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH!!! THIS BUG IS NOW DRIVING ME NUTS!!

Make sure after running Programs: Uninstall that those directories are cleared, you should not need to do so manually.
You do know your OS don't you?
And I repeat my recommendation to invest in free or commercial (and test it too) with "clone OS" of your choice for backups.
You're fine. Apple installed all that and can be uninstalled, and reinstalled.
But.... I was also this would allow you to reinstall, and install an older version. Otherwise the older version will not "downgrade" or touch a newer application support library, not usually, and not in fruitville.
I left iTunes - I said that in the post you are replying to.
I have not, and will not, bother with Safari again, ever. It looks nice, and easy to read which I like, but I spent too much time - they should tell customers or have a real public beta and have an extra million people kick the tires for a month or two first.
Safari also behaves different on the Community Forums in ways that IE9 and Firefox do not, but not enough to pull me over, which was my main reason, and that 5.1 was a major security update, as is the latest QuickTime version for Windows.
They should install and function better if you start from a clean slate (start from scratch), same as how things work and feel after a clean install - which is true of any platform or OS.

Safari 5 logs you out of websites

Safari 5 has been logging me out of several websites including: Gmail, Youtube & Flickr.
In the case of Gmail & YT my account are linked, I leave Gmail open and start using YT. Just now for example I wanted to like a video or add it to my faves and I got a "Sign in to perform this operation" message, but I didn't log out of gmail or youtube!!!!! Or I'm in YT, then I want to check my gmail and it asks me to sign in. In both cases I had to log in again. Also, this morning I was looking at some pictures from my contacts on flickr which were limited to "Friends", I finished seeing one, clicked on the another & I got a "You must be signed in to view this content" message!!!!! Again, I had NOT signed out of flickr!
Is anyone else having this problem??

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the keychains related to the sites you are having problems accessing.
In Safari, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure: User names and passwords is selected. Now click the Security tab in the Preferences pane. Click the Show Cookies button. Delete all cookies for those sites.
Relaunch Safari. Sign into Gmail as usual with your user name and password. When prompted, click Yes. Same for any other site such as YouTube...
Also, if you didn't repair disk permissions after updating to Safari 5, do that.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Macbook pro constantly logs me out

Why does my MacBook pro retina Lion constantly log me out closing all my apps without warning? I have all powersave features turned off and I'm plugged into the wall. All I see the console monitor are these two problems.
10/7/12 9:08:21.333 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.517: (com.hp.devicemonitor[2841]) posix_spawn("/Library/Printers/hp/hpio/HP Device Monitor.app/Contents/MacOS/HP Device Monitor", ...): No such file or directory
or
10/7/12 9:08:22.274 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.517: (com.akamai.single-user-client[2842]) posix_spawn("/Users/XXXXX/Applications/Akamai/netsession_mac", ...): No such file or directory
where XXXXX is my old login name from my old macbook pro that I migrated to the new machine and for some reason the new machine has my middle initial in it
In a potentially unrelated matter I will also get much less frequent crashes where the laptop shuts completely off - and there are panics in the console log
Any help would be appreciated

Post the most recent panic report.

Why is Twitter for iPhone constantly logging me out?

Hi!
I have an iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) and the Twitter (latest version) app constantly logs me out. Beforehand, the app will experience a freeze then the next thing I know is that I'm in the login screen of the app. This is ******* me off since logging back in again discards my settings and drafts data. Any explanation/help about this?
Thank you!

I first logged in thru iOS (Settings). Then I was logged out after a few weeks of use. Then I tried removing my account completely from iOS so that it will also disappear from the app. Then finally, I tried logging in thru the app. Still, I was experiencing random logouts.

How do I stop Safari logging me out continually of websites?

For the last couple of months I and my husband are continually being logged out from websites such as ancestry.com.au on both our Macbook Pro and IPad.
We will be using the program and might click on save or the back option and it logs us out of the site we've been logged into. I've seen a lot of discussion online about this happening to large amounts of people but no real solution. I've tried resetting Safari and emptying the cache plus increasing our safari database to the maximum. If I don't do this on a regular basis it just stops signing in altogether.
Any ideas? My system is a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
Here's hoping.

Safari doesn't log you out, the web site may do that. I would contact the web administrator.

Safari is logging me out on ipad2

I have an iPad2 and I have Mac OSX 10.7.2. For the past week or two, every website I use in Safari will keep logging me out and I have to repeatedly log back in. For example, Pinterest, Expedia, Gmail, etc. can someone help me figure out what to do? Thank you!

Might be a cookies, cache, or extension issue ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Firefox Keeps Logging Me Out of All Websites I Visit.

Firefox automatically logs me out dozens of times per day out of websites I visit regularly. I have manually removed all cookies and cookies are enabled. And no, I do not have the clear history when Firefox closes box checked.

Please enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

Safari keeps logging me out...

I have had this problem ever since the update. I log into my websites and within 10 mins I am logged out and have to keep logging back in.
Anyone else have this problem?
I am using Leopard 10.6.3... Safari 4.0.5... Macbook Pro.
Help!?!?!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
log into my websites
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Click the Edit button next to: Other forms
Delete the websites you have problems accessing then click Done.
Relaunch Safari.
If that doesn't help, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilites)
Select Passwords on the left. Delete the website keychains on the right you have the problems with.
Quit Keychain Access. Navigate to one of the sites in Safari, login with your username and password. You will be prompted to save that data. Click Always Allow. Do that with ther other sites.
If that doesn't work, it may be a corrupted preference file. Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If you can login to a site without a problem then move that .plist file to the Trash.

Safari keeps logging me out of places.

I have at least five websites marked "keeped me logged in", including Facebook, Apple, and even the region and language notice on YouTube keeps reappearing for me to accept it every single time, but every single time I close the window - I'm being logged out, and next time I open the site I need to log in again.
I already enabled cookies from all sites, and they seem fine, but this has been going on for months.
Using Lion 10.7.3.

OK now I've tried the "accept all cookies", but the issue persists.

Safari cannot log into ANYTHING including this website!

I am unable to log into any websites with Safari anymore, no matter what I do.. I cleared cache, preferences, deleted program and re-downloaded it.. but Safari on my Mac will not log into ANY websites at all.. not even this Apple discussion website.
Does anybody have a similar problem or a solution?
I am using Firefox instead to log into websites.

Hi Chazzzzy!
Be sure you have a current backup.
Your computer specs state that you have 10.4.10 installed.
Is that correct?
If so, using Firefox, download the Intel 10.4.11 Combo Update.
Then load Safari.
From the Safari contextual menu, select Empty Cache
From the Safari contextual menu, select Reset Safari.
Check all options and click Reset.
When that has completed, quit Safari.
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Preferences:
In that folder, locate and move to the Trash, this file com.apple.Safari.plist, and if present, com.apple.Safari.plist.saved.
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Safari.
In that folder, move to the Trash all items except Bookmarks.plist.
Navigate to HD > Users > Your Account > Library > Caches > Safari.
In that folder, move to the Trash, any items that appear.
Empty the Trash.
Run Repair Permissions.
Install the previously downloaded Intel 10.4.11 Combo Update.
Restart the MBP.
Again run Repair Permissions.
Try Safari.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun RP, until there are no error messages reported.
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

How can I stop new private tabs in Safari from logging me out?

Previously, in Mavericks, a private browsing session would act as one whole session, even if split between multiple tabs. So, for example, if I was signed in to an online account, I could move around the site and open links in new tabs without being logged out. Now, in Yosemite, each new tab is its own session. That means I get logged out every time I open a new tab. This makes things like comparing different products on a site like Amazon impossible to do.
Is there any way to change this behaviour?

You can put a global variable to during the form load so you know the form is started for first time. That is one way.
