Safari doesn't keep me signed in to my ATT/Yahoo account...

Even though I have the box checked "Keep me signed in for 2 weeks unless I sign out" -- it doesn't/won't keep me signed in -- every time I quit and re-start Safari/open Safari I have to login all over again -- and this has only happened since the last security from Apple update -- before that it worked fine, kept me signed in -- I have "Reset Safari" but that didn't make any difference -- and I know it's Safari because Navigator works just fine and keeps me signed in.

Hi Ewan,
From your Safari menu bar click Safar / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies.
Remove all eBay related cookies.
Now press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Now quit Safari (Command + Q) now relaunch Safari, try eBay.

    This is hugely stressful, especially when listing items and revising them.

  • My computer keeps me signed in with the wrong icloud account

    Although I've updated my iCloud username and information on the apple site, my computer still tries to make me login with my old iCloud username. How do I correct this?

    Hi katiepdesign,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you've changed the Apple ID that you use for iCloud. If your Mac is still showing the old Apple ID information, try signing out and back in to iCloud using these steps:
    OS X Mountain Lion and later: Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then click iCloud.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Click Sign Out. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked if you want to make copies or delete iCloud data (Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Bookmarks, Photo Stream) from your Mac. Click “Delete from Mac”. The data will be deleted from your Mac, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your Mac.
    From:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you encounter a situation where you're being asked for the password to your previous Apple ID (iCloud account), the steps in this article may help:

  • Mail App Doesn't Keep Copies of Email Sent via One Particular Account?

    I have several accounts set up in Mail app.  For one account, I can send and receive email, but copies of the email do not appear in my Sent folder, or in any other folder in Mail app. It is as if they were never sent. All other accounts are functionning normally.
    How can I correct this?

    All four of our iPhone pilot users have experienced this problem at some time. From what I've been able to determine so far:
    + It seems to happen when there's a slightly shaky data connection - we've never seen it on a WiFi connection, or where the phone is stationary with good signal. It frequently happens to me when I'm sending mails on a moving train.
    + Once a message has come back with the "Failed to send" error, the iPhone will keep retrying, but will invariably fail even if it's got perfect GPRS/EDGE/3G signal. The thing is, even though you've been told there was an error, the message has actually been sent already - but it sticks in the Outbox and keeps trying as though it hasn't. It's not until the phone either docks or gets back onto a WiFi network that the message sends one more time and the problem clears.
    + It feels like a problem in the processing of the ActiveSync "OK" acknowledgement during sending - something gets out of line in the iPhone, maybe it misses the ACK because of poor data signal, but then it's stuck.
    + There's no obvious connection to firmware version. We've seen this on everything from 2.0 up to 2.1.
    This is a real problem - and it's absolutely stopping us from letting any "real" users use iPhones through Exchange. Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions?
    Apple? Any new firmware forthcoming to fix this bug?
    Thanks.

  • Mail keeps asking for password for my imap yahoo account?

    I have both a Rogers Yahoo and a Bell email account. The Rogers imap account keeps asking for my password however the password is correctly entered. Help!

    There's a long thread on here somewhere about Yahoo constantly requesting the password. Seems to have been going on some time with no real conclusion.
    However, I did see a mention somewhere else that a user managed to 'fix' the issue by changing his password so that it had no capital letters in it. Don't know whether this will help in your case, but maybe worth a shot if you pw has any cap letters.
    If I can find the link I'll post back.

  • Why does safari 5.1.2 not keep me signed into any websites?

    I just got a new imac with lion and safari 5.1.2. Safari doesn't keep me signed in to any websites - such as my yahoo, facebook, etc... what settings do i need to change?

    Ok...  With Safari open, go to the menu bar top of your screen click Safari then from the drop down menu click Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
    Make sure User names and passwords is selected.
    When you navigate to a site and enter your user name and password you should be prompted to save that data to create a "kecyhain" for that site. Your keychains are located in /Applications/Utilities in Keychain Access.

  • Firefox recently signs off my yahoo account on exit, plus my yahoo seal does not show up

    Hi: Recently my Firefox browser is signing me out of my yahoo account upon exit. Also, my Yahoo seal is not showing up on sign in. I used Internet explorer and this problem does not happen.
    I have checked my option settings with Firefox and I believe they are correct,

    System is Win7 as shown above.
    Right after opening FF, you can press alt+space, then release and press m. You should now be able to use the arrow keys to move the window around the screen until it's visible.

  • Why doesn't OS X keep me signed in on outlook and Facebook when I have the box checked to keep me signed in  What a pain this is

    Why doesn't OSSX keep signed in on outlook express and Facebook when I have checked the box to keep me signed in   I have to sign in almost overtime  What a pain  Also on other sites it asked be to answer my security question 

    Long shot.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • 'keep me signed in' won't keep me signed in to safari browser.

    'keep me singned in' won't keep me signed in to safari browser.

    We have had this problem forever, along with the ever changing MyVerizon Home Page. We can tell when our login is going to fail based upon what user name it greets on the top right-hand side of the page. I continue to post how many logins we can have per day and VZ employees continue to spew the company lie that this is for our protection. The VZ line is that the logouts are to prevent someone else from accessing your account and changing settings. Now we all know how often family members get in and purposely change settings. Perhaps VZ should employ some engineers and programmers who can fix the problem that VZ claims isn't a problem.

  • HT4972 I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work.

    I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.1 and now Safari doesn't work and keeps bombing out. I've tried restoring the iPad to the original configuration but this is clearly not restoring the iPad back to the original factory default!! Help !!  I have the original v1 iPad.  I wish I had never upgraded the IOS now ! 

    1. Double-click the Home button to show the Task Bar
    2. Hold the Safari icon down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close Safari

  • Mac safari won't keep my logged in

    My mac's safari will not keep me logged into sites that I clicked "keep me logged in" with. It used to but once I downloaded the newest software for my Mac it doesn't anymore. Instead, when I open a page it'll keep my username and password in the given boxes but I have to click sign in every time.

    i'm running windows xp but i think i found the equivelant file in C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Apple Computer\Preferences
    i deleted this and it appears to have reset safari but once i close the broswer, it still won't keep me logged into twitter. thanks for your help, i hope you have more ideas lol

  • My safari does not keep my history despite all the settings and adjustment i made to the safari preferences so as to be able to keep my browsing history. the browsing history is wiped out whenever i close safari.

    i use macbook pro mid 2012, OS X mavericks. my safari does not keep my history desp[ite all the adjustments made to the settings at safari preferences. my browsing history are cleared whenever i exit safari. i dont know why. i want to try and re - in stall it . the safari is version 7.0.1. but i dont know how.

    If you're having trouble making changes to files that are inside your home folder (represented by a house icon in the sidebar of a Finder window), or if you can't get changes to the settings of an application to stick, then please see below.
    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    My iphone4 Safari won't let me sign into any websites (email, school, commercial).  What can I do to fix this?

    Sorry just re-read your original post and realized that my answer doesn't address you problem:
    "If the problem is that Safari won't display a login screen when started, try going to a different website than is displayed when you start Safari.  When I have this problem, I select another website from my bookmarks and am redirected to the login screen. It's strange, but it works."
    So..., what is happening that it won't let you login?  Keyboard not popping up?  Website won't accept input?
