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 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 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.

  • 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 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 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.

  • Firefox saves my cookies, but it keeps logging me out every time I exit the window. What do I do?

    Firefox saves my cookies, but it keeps logging me out every time I exit the window. I have "Remember Me" checked off, so I don't understand why it's doing this. Just started all of a sudden. What do I do?

    tried the above still having the same problem

  • 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.

  • Why does Caps Lock and F keys log me out of websites?

    MacBook Air 11" Core i5, OS X 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2.
    Caps Lock and F keys seem to log me out of websites like Jimdo and stop BBC iPlayer from playing video, why? Most annoying. As you can't turn up the volume with out stopping the video and the system going back to the beginning of the video.

    On a Mac OS X system: System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard(tab)->Modifier Keys(button): set Caps Lock to No Action (or to plain Shift if you prefer). Some people like Caps Lock. They can keep it. Others (like me) keep pressing it by mistake. We disable it. Everybody's happy. And if you're a No Caps Lock type of person, but really want it on rare occasion, just map it back temporarily. Takes 5 seconds.

  • BT Openzone keeps logging me out

    Ever since I got my iPhone, I've had trouble using BT Openzone. BT Openzone keeps logging me out and bringing up a login page in Safari, even if I stop using it for only several minutes but stay on the hotspot. I've spoken to Orange and BT, but although they admit there must be a fault, they haven't resolved it. I understand that I need to log in once to BT Openzone using my mobile number and password that Orange give me, and then BT Openzone is supposed to remember my iPhone's MAC address indefinitely if I subsequently connect to any BT Openzone hotspot. The password that Orange issued me (which I can't change) is not designed for repeated use, as it can't be easily remembered or typed. What could be causing this, and should it be Orange or BT whom I pressure to resolve it?

    I had the same problem with BTOpenzone. I resolved it my just turning the option Settings/Wi-fi/'Ask to Join Networks' to OFF.
    Thanks for the reply. However, clearly the problem is server-side rather than client-side, given that returning clients are recognised through their MAC address rather than any client-side settings that a wireless network is unable to interrogate. Therefore I did not expect the advice of changing client-side settings to work, and it didn't when I tried it.
    BT Openzone today told me that when I log into BT Openzone, they transmit my MAC address to Orange for authentication. If Orange doesn't validate my MAC address immeditely, then the login page is presented in the browser for me to enter my user ID and password, which is likewise transmitted to Orange for authentication. BT are blaming this failure to recognise my MAC address on Orange. Are they right?

  • My Mac keeps logging me out of my account

    It started this morning immediately after I turned on my Mac Pro. I have 3 accounts on the MP, and I logged in to my usual account, after about one second, after the desktop loads etc, it logs me out automatically. This keeps happening. I am able to log into the other 2 accounts on the same Mac with no problem. Unfortunately, the bulk of my work is in the account that keeps logging me out automatically.
    I have reset my PRAM, fixed and repaired disk permissions etc. to no avail. Any suggestions?

    You probably have a login item or something set to load when you log in that's causing the issue.
    I'd try a safe boot. Power off, then on, when you hear the chime, hold the Shift key. Release it when you see the spinning gear. This boot takes longer than normal because it clears your font caches and runs a disk check. It'll take you to the login window. Log into your account. One of the advantages of a safe boot is that it disables login items, so if you can log in successfully with a safe boot, go into System Preferences > Accounts, select your account, select the Login Items tab on the right, and remove any login items. Reboot (normally this time) and make sure all's well.
    You can also look in Console to see what is crashing, that will helpfully allow you to narrow it down to a specific app or process.

  • Macbook pro keeps logging me out after using migration assistant

    Hello All,
    I have a Macbook pro (bought it two years ago). It used to shut down automatically. Took it to Apple after backing up using time machine. They installed a fresh OS on it and took everything else out. I made a dummy account and no more shut downs happend so I migrated my old account over using MA. Now all my accounts are there but as soon as I log in, it logs me out !!! no error message.
    Help would be appreciated.

    How were you able to run a disk repair? Did you do that from an install disc?
    Can you boot into "single-user" mode? If so there are some commands you can run that will allow you to look into logs files, where you might find the reason for your problem.
