Safari keeps logging out of logged-in accounts

Hello, first off let me apologise if this topic has been discussed (and hopefully resolved?) elsewhere, as I'm sure it has. I have searched through the forums and the only similar one I could find was archived and so was unable to reply (thread located here).
Safari continues to log me out of various sites which I have securely logged into and which should remember my username/password. This never happened with Safari 3, only with (including all updates of) Safari 4. My computer is an iMac with 10.4.11, using Safari Version 4.0.4.
This is becoming more than annoying at this stage, as I have one football-related site I visit quite regularly which I repeatedly have to log into every time I visit, which is quite simply unacceptable. Is there any solution to this problem, or will I switch over to another browser?
Thanks

HI,
This is more of a web site security issue then browser. Most financial sites or networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace have a limit to the time you can be logged in.
Re the football site. See if you can locate their support area on the site and find a contact, perphaps e-mail.
And with Safari ... make sure your preferences are set correctly... from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure Usernames and Passwords are selected.
That site may also not be as Safari user friendly as other browsers. You could try using Firefox.

It's good to have a back up browser regardless.

In mail app, you can remove the account and add theirs in settings>Mail, Calendars,Contacts.
or add theirs only and in mail, go up a level and view each inbox seperately.
The ipad is not designed for multi-user use however so it is not easy.

How do i log out from my Itunes account?(Force log out)

Hello..
I recently sold my IPhone 3G to a guy i don't know and bought a 3Gs but i think i forgot to log out from my iTunes account
I didn't have any concerns until today when i got a message when trying to update my applications in ITunes saying that this account has been accessed from another computer and requested that i verify my CC(Credit card) password.
I changed my account password and confirmed my credit card password and got charged 1$ but what i wanna know is if i am safe now, meaning if that guy still has my account info without my password, will it promp him for the Password when he tries to buy or use my account??
Thank you in advance..
Rami.

Press sign in, login.
Go to Store -> authorize this computer. Do what you have to do.
And do not forget when you leave to deauthorize that comp and log out.

HT2500 how do i log out of my email account in mac mail?

hi,
i am giving my old mac away and want to log out of my email account before i do so, but can't find the way to do it.
help?

You can just remove the account from Mail in Preferences>Accounts. However you would be advised to erase the entire hard disk and reinstall the system from the disks the Mac came with (which you must include with it when you pass it on). This will remove all your personal data, and also any additional software you bought (which the recipient has no right to use).

How do I log out of my gmail account with my ipad 1 retina?

Ipad 1
I cannot log out of my gmail account, can you help? I cannot find the log out button.

Are you talking about the native mail app that came with the ipad?
If so there is no log off feature, you simply close out of the mail app.

I bought an iPhone from someone out of the paper and they didn't log out of their iCloud account.

I Bought an iphone from someone out of the paper and they didn't log out of their icloud account.
im not too sure how to fix this problem considering I cannot get in contact with them.
so if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

If they left an activation lock on the device, you can't fix it but may be able to get a refund for the iPhone.

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

I can't log out of my guest account because DLconnectMonitor won't turn off. How do I turn it off?

I am planning on lending one of my Mac products to a friend so she can watch our Easter service on FaceTime. In preparation for this, I logged into the guest account and found the administrator had to give permission for the guest to use FaceTime and DLconnectMonitor. It looked like this had to be done for the guest account to work at all, so I gave permission. When I went to log out of the guest account, I couldn't becauseDLconnectMonitor would not turn off. I can't even find it on my computer. Does anybody know how I can turn it off and log out of my guest account?

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

If i log out of an icloud account on an ipod and log into a different one can that old account still be tracked?

if i logged out of an icloud account that was the main one on the ipod and log into a different one can the old one still be tracked? if its not even in use

It depends on what you mean. If you mean that you changed the iCloud account to which Find My iPod is set up in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings, then the iPod will only be trackable through that iCloud account, not any previous one.
If that's not what you meant, please post back and clarify.

I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access anything. iphone shows my old appleID and I can't log in with my old password but I can not log out and log in with new ID. How do I get iphone to work with my updated ID?

My old nternet account was cancelled and with it my emails. I updated my apple id and password in all my devices (ipad, iphone, imac, except for my moms iphone. I am trying to log out from my old account and set her up with her own apple ID and iCloud etc but it does not let me log out. I have a notebook with all my passwords in it so I know for a fact the password for the old ID/ email is correct yet a window keeps popping up that it is incorrect. I have spent hours reading and trying to fix it myself and nothing is working, same window keeps popping up. Any ideas on what to do? I have an iphone 4S, all software up to date and I made sure my moms phone is also updated. Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Adobe Flash can be installed, but must be install EVERY time I log out and log back in. Why doesn't it stay? How can I fix this? (I have Firefox 6.0.2 and Flash 10.3)

I have searched through the FAQs and find stuff on "crashing". I have not had any trouble with flash crashing, but I can't keep it installed.
If I install flash, then it stays as long as I am logged in, even if I close firefox. Once I log out and log back in, I lose Flash and have to re-install it.

I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
and for Explorer, it was:
install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.

Home folder mounted after logging out then logging back in

After I logged out of my account, I logged back in to see nothing on my desktop except for "Macintosh HD." I click on it and noticed that my home folder is mounted as a disk image under "Places." By "home folder" I meant the folder found at MacintoshHD\users\name-of-folder. I did not shutdown and login again, I logged out back to the main login screen, then logged in again under the same account. Shutting down the computer before logging in to the same account prevents this from happening, but logging out then logging back in causes it to happen. How do I fix this problem?

Sorry for the delay - perhaps bump sooner next time.
I use 10.5.8 and don't recall seeing this. A picture may help.
My advice is:
Backup Home folder and perhaps whole disk to an external disk or DVD with eg Carbon Copy Cloner
Install the free AppleJack
Reboot holding cmd s until you see text
Wait until text stops
Type: applejack AUTO shutdown
Hit return key
Don't touch but prepare for a long wait - may take hours the first time
You can probably ignore the many error messages
Reboot after it has shutdown
First boot will take longer than usual as it rebuilds caches
I find AppleJack far better than Apple's Disk Utility.

Cannot change appleid on my phone. Some other id is on there and there is no way to delete it. I have logged out and logged back in in settings, then when I go back to the store it still says the other appleid

I switched to a different iphone today. When I go in to do my updates it has another person's apple id. Even when I went into settings, log out, and log back in that apple id is still there. I cannot get it to go away and it isn't in my settings to delete.

It seems that app was downloaded with the Apple ID that keeps popping up. Delete the app and redownload it.
