Safari Reset, cookies cleared, but I'm still auto-logged in on a forum?

I've noticed on a few forums I use that despite clearing the cookies from Safari manually or just resetting it with all options checked, even though it shows that there are no cookies set in preferences after these operations I'm still being auto-logged into some of forums. This is Safari on 10.5 Leopard.
The login data for these forums is definitely cookie based as well because I've tried visiting them with Firefox on my Windows machine, logging in with "keep me logged in" checked, and then reset Firefox. Sure enough revisiting the sites shows me as logged out.
Not only that but Safari on my iMac which is running Tiger works as expected on the same sites. Its just Safari on Leopard that is apparently ignoring my reset command?

Well I assumed I had been, I was using the "Reset Safari" menu option and one of the selections is to clear the cache and it is selected.
I have been trying this now since I posted and it looks like I've sort of worked it out now though. I tend to reset safari then instantly quit the app with Command+Q. It seems like when I was doing that I managed to do it so fast the reset command wasn't completing before the app quit, meaning some cookies/cache/whatever remained intact.
I used reset and let it sit their open on a blank page for ten seconds before I quit and when I restarted it I was no long auto-logged in to the websites. I can only assume therefore this was the problem, although, I didn't think I was that quick at quitting the app?

    I have followed the instructions to reset my password but i am still unable to disable my iPad.  How do i get my iPad to stop the disable and turn it on?

    Might you have a newly acquired iPad that is still locked to someone else's Apple ID?  If that is the case, then you will need the former owner's Apple ID and password to proceed.  That feature is called Activation Lock and described here:

    If you cannot get that former owner's Apple ID and password, you will never be able to use the iPad.

  • Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

    ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

    You can try the SMC again.

    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself
    You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (at the bottom of the same page in the above link
    Also hold the OPTION key and click on the Apple logo in the menu bar and click on system information, in the left column select power. Under the battery info see if it is charging (with the power adapter  plugged in) as well as the health info (condition should be normal), and battery installrd (should be YES)
    If other than these are different you may want to take it in to a Genius bar for a full diagnosis they will do that for dree.
    Hope this helps

  • Auditing set to "Failure" only but Success 4985 still being logged

    Hello,
    We've configured a domain wide policy to only audit "Failure" events in the Audit Policy.
    This has successfully applied to all our servers but we're finding that Success Event IDs 4985 (The State of a Transaction has changed) are still being logged. It does seem to be only this event ID which is being logged.
    I believe that this event comes under Audit Object Access, but cannot understand why these "success" events are still being logged when this audit setting is definitely set to "failure".
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Here is my understanding: You would like to only log Failure events in Event log. However even with all Success options unchecked in Audit policy, Audit Success (event 4985) still exists in Event Viewer.
    For the event 4985, it is triggered by the Transactional NTFS (TxF), when the file state is changed. 
    TxF is a new featured introduced in Windows 2008 / Vista, and allows file operations on an NTFS file system volume to be performed in a transaction. TxF transactions increase application reliability by protecting data integrity across failures and simplify
    application development by greatly reducing the amount of error handling code.
    For more information about TxF, please refer to the following web page:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363764(v=VS.85).aspx
    You can find more information about the audit events from the below articles:

  • I deleted my cookies, disabled all my extensions, and reseted the toolbar but my problem still persists.

    I can actually bookmark some sites like, www.gmail.com, but i cant bookmark www.facebook.com, www.calendarscript.com, and more others, i have the newest version of firefox and i didnt have any problems wih the version before this one.

    also while searching for the places.sqlite file i found out that it wasnt in the firefox folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox but it was in my limewire folder C:\Users\******\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire\mozilla-profile\places.sqlite so does this have anything to do with the firefox toolbar thing not working?

  • Trying to download mountain lion, but when I try to download it, asks me security questions I dont remember the answers to, so I reset the questions, but old ones still pop up when I try to download mountain lion.  How do I change the questions for good?

    I dont get why it asks me for my password and two security questions when just buying something from the app store, but the questions wont change.

              ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
              phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
         2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I already reset the phone but it is still showing on find my iphone app

    I know all about the icloud activation thing. so when I sold an iphone 5, I did a reset all content and settings.  What I dont understand is, it is still on my find my iphone application.  Does this mean if the new owner reset her iPhone, it will go to activation and ask for my password again?  If the new owner sets up her icloud account on the iPhone 5, then the iphone is now registered to 2 icloud accounts?

    Sign in on www.icloud.com, choose the find my iPhone icon, locate the phone, choose remote wipe, then remove the device from your account.  That will prevent the activation lock from enabling on the person you sold the phone to.
