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 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.

HT4519 I'm trying to send out email but will not send. How can I stop this on my IPhone4?

I'm trying to send out an email but it will not send. How can I stop this on my phone?

See:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
It appears you have a incorrect entry in the setup. Google for:
setup xx email on iphone
where xx is your provider.

My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

Can anyone help, when I test my movie and when it is uploaded it comes out about 60% of the original size. how can I stop this?

When I test the movie or upload it to the server i comes out about 60% of the full size. I do not have it scaled with the window size and I have tried everything I can think of to get it to 100%. Why should it come out smaller? I am using an iMac and CS4 professional.

thank you for asking for more info.
The file I am loading is the SWF file plus the index.HTML file, but the problem still happens when I test the movie before uploading it.
I have not modified the HTML file.
shall I send you the file?

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.

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.

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.
JJ

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

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.

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

When I sign into or out of Gmail - many other pages automatically refresh. How do I stop this?

I hate automated things, when it's NON consensual and it's part of some automated bullshit trip.
I might have half finished texts on the other open tabs, or what ever, but it's MY bandwidth to chew up on things I see fit, not the people of Mozilla, or Google or whoever.
And while the account page is gmail, that I am signing into or out of, the other pages are NOT google pages either.
I think the designers of the "refresh / automatic refresh" should be shot - because the reason I have a PAGE (tab) open, is because I want to access THAT page, and not a later version of it...
This auto-reload / refresh of some tabs absolutely annoys the piss out of me, because I did not ask for it, and there is NO apparently easy up front way to stop it from happening - which I also think is one of the best way to alienate users of a product - by building in a host of idiot functions with NO control over them.
So how do i stop this from happening?

<blockquote>
That may be happening for websites that participate in Google+. ''IOW, Google+ knows about a lot of things you use on the internet; like they're following you around.'' You may want to check those websites to verify that they are connected with the Google+ program, or not. ''In that case, my hypothesis is incorrect.''
I think what happens is that you sign in at Gmail, which is a Google+ sign-in these days, and all the other web pages that participate in the Google+ program somehow "sense" that you have just logged into Google+ and reload their page to reflect that you are nowlogged into the Google+ program. Google+ was originally an "option" at Gmail, but that ended not to long after Google+ came about - like within 6 months or so.
http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/learnmore/better/
One solution is to stay logged into Google+ / Gmail all the time. Another is to transition away from Gmail over time and use a different web-mail platform instead; and eventually stop using Gmail altogether.

Yeah this is sounding like "THE PROBLEM" and what drives it. However, the solutions you have offered are not "solutions", in that they do not "FIX" the issues, they merely circumvent or bypass them.
Since I can't go punch Eric Schmitt on the nose for being a nazi prick, and send him the bill for wasting my internet data, I want to stop the collusive programming practices of the people from Mozilla and Google - from operating my computer, contrary to my mandates. i.e. It's my computer and I am paying for my bandwidth." - I have total say so about what I allow to go on, not anyone else.

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out at times and I loose all the pages I had open. How can I stop this from happening?

Since downloading Yosemite, Safari will close itself out, when I reopen it all of my pages are gone. How do I stop this from happening?

But if iit won't stay open, then it's quitting unexpectedly which is the same as a crash.
There has to be a reason for that which a crash report should reveal.

A renter used my Apple TV to access Netflix, and now I can't log him out. Besides calling the renter to ask him to fix this, how do I fix this?

A renter used my Apple TV to access his Netflix movies, and now I can't log him out. Besides calling the renter to ask him to fix this using his Netflix.com account, how do I fix this?

There is no option in Apple TV to log out of Netflix. The internet tells me to go to netflix.com to "Disconnect from All Devices". I can't because I'm unable to log in to a renter's Netflix account.
Why is there no option to log out when using Apple TV? I can't ask my next renter to reset my Apple TV each time.

Any time I open Safari i get a popup for myvdrive? why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off.

why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off. Also it pops up any time that I click anywhere to do anything in safari. Please help.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I delete ..when logging into my email.. it populates my entire email address .. how do I stop this ?

how do I delete.. when logging into my email.. it populates my entire email address.. how do I stop this ?????

Hi Roam.
Message understood.
I managed to delete me and substitute her as Administrator. Thanks.
you ask what machine I am now using, I am a Windows man, currently using XP Pro SP3 and have been for 10 years. A friend from the Education Dept gave me a phased out Mac with OS X in an endeavor to convert me.
At first I was very impressed but as time went on I found that the Mac was not as user friendly as I had thought. The terminology was foreign to me, and where Windows placed thing automatically into place, with Mac I had to physically pick up and re-locate programs.
But what really turned me off was that nearly every thing that I wanted to do I had to go to the net and try and find drivers or whatever to overcome my problems.
A point in question, I purchased an external USB dual layer DVD burner. When connected to XP, it was recognized instantly and within a few minutes I as up and going. With the Mac, it is not even recognized let alone getting it to work!
And then there are all the other little things like printing. In windows every thing from every page I can print, Ctrl + P. With the Mac, I am still trying to find out how to print a page from the Help menu.
Enough said. My daughter is interested and that is all that counts. Let her work it all out, she is smarter (an younger) than me.
Regards
