Stay signed in

Why do I have to keep signing into communities? This is on my iPhone 6 and my iMac. Other sites don't do this and keep me signed in, why does Apple support communities not?
Thanks

Agreed, and my apologies. If you are through with the thread you can click on the Following button on the top, it will change to Follow and you will no longer be notified.
I will mention that yesterday I was being logged out of the system much faster than 30 minutes for a little bit. This occurs once in a while when they are having problems with the system. There was a time when I would leave the browser open on five devices and would never be logged out but that was quite a while ago. I do believe this was changed not only because of the spam but also because "parkers" can slow down the system, which is now huge and will grow larger with the Apple Watch, and is also a security threat. So we'll have to live with the 30 minute rule. At least for the near future.

How do I set Firefox 30 preferences so I will stay signed in to various websites?

In all versions from 24 back I could close out the browser and stay signed in to several websites I use on a daily basis. After upgrading from 24 to 30 it signs me out of every website, even tho I have the keep me signed in boxes checked and I have FF preferences set to not clear cookies & to show windows & tabs from last time.
I'm not happy about v 30 as I had to install even more add-ons in order to make it more convenient to use. IMHO sometimes it's not always worth fixing when it's not broken, especially when options are removed and new ones make it less user-friendly and more like 'other' browsers. One reason I liked FF so much was that it wasn't IE or the 'other' browser. :-((
How do I set preferences so I don't have to sign back in to every website each time I open the browser?
Thank you.
PS, Why does FF keep asking me if I want to allow silverlight when I go onto ebay? And is that something I should allow? I never needed it or was asked before v. 30.
PSS, just an observation when when clicking on the automatic troubleshooting info, FF window popped up saying it was blocking it's own site. I'm not very techie, so would like to know the purpose of FF blocking its own site. Thanks again!

How can I stay signed in to Hotmail on the web

I am using an Ipad 4 and every time I close Safari and reopen It, I have to enter my username and password, and there is no box to tick to stay signed in. I am more comfortable using hotmail through the web based platform rather than through the email app, so please don't suggest using that instead.
Does anyone know what's going on and how I can stay signed in?

Unless hotmail has an app or mobile interface (usually m.hotmail.com is the naming convention sites use) if there's no 'remember me' tick box, then there isnt' a way.
The lack of that box could be a security feature, but more likely that it's java based, which isn't supported on the iPad.
Have you tried to access it via another browser? There's some free ones out there that have different levels of functionality than Safari.

Why does Googlemail not appear on the Start Page every time instead of going all through "more" and " even more etc, plus having to sign in even though I have ticked the Stay signed in box?

There is no consistency when one gets the Mozilla Firefox Start page.There is a line as follows :
Web Images Maps News Shopping Books more
To get Gmail one has to click on "more" which gets one a dropdown menu which ends in "even more" Clicking on this takes one to a page headed "Even More Google Products", including (Hurrah!) M Gmail.
Click on this and one gets the page where one signs in, even though I have ticked the box entitled " Stay signed in" and at last ones's e-mail page turns up. Very occasionally, instead of Books or Shopping on the Start Page "Gmail" is there which when clicked on takes one directly to one's e-mail.It seems a hell of a rigmarole just to get one's e-mail!

You can set Firefox home page to one of your choosing, see [[how to set the home page]].
If the keep me signed in option is not working, you may have a malformed cookie. Try deleting Google/Gmail cookies, for details on how to do that see [[deleting cookies]].

Staying signed in at iCloud.com is not a problem for me. Try resetting your browser or emptying its cache.

I suggest that you run software update, after which you should have Safari 6.0.5 - then check Safari - Preferences - Privacy & see that 'Block cookies' is not set to Always.
Failing that - switch Safari extensions Off via Safari - Preferences - Extensions & test again

Adobe Reader makes me sign-in even though the STAY SIGNED IN box is checked.

I love the idea that I can view a document on my PC and as long as I'm signed-in I can later view it on my hand held device. But even though I check the STAY SIGNED IN box, whenever I close out of the program then come back I have to re-sign-in. Why won't Adobe keep me signed in as requested?

I run Kaspersky and will have to study whether it is responsible for the problem. Under its Protection Center / Application Control there are a lot of Adobe listings and then a lot of things to look at there; many of which I do not understand. So, you may be on to something Pat; but if anyone knows specifically what I should look at in Kaspersky (or elsewhere) to determine if a specific setting is eating my Adobe cookies ... I would appreciate the guidance where to look and how to fix.

Can't Stay Signed on to My.Yahoo

Recently, on my iMac running Safari beta 4 I cannot stay signed to my.yahoo page. I checked the box to stay signed on for two weeks. I have cleared the cache and deleted all cookies to no avail. It used to stay signed on. Safari on my iPhone and PC at work do not have this problem. Any suggestions?

About all you can do is go to the Safari Menu Bar, select Safari/Report Bugs to Apple.

Firefox 4 keeps asking to "Stay Signed In" to iGoogle (and how to fix it, kinda)

For some reason FF4 (Win 7) would automatically select "Stay Signed In" when I went to iGoogle's sign in. Problem is, it happened completely at random, and I'd often reopen Firefox to find it signed in.
So I went to iGoogle, right-clicked on the page, selected View Page Info > Permissions > Set Cookies, deselected "Use Default", and selected "Allow For Session".
Problem is, I had to turn off Google's 2-Step verification, or else I'd have to get a text message every time I logged in. Even when I ask it to remember the password for 30-days, it dumps the verification cookie right alongside the login.
Ideally, I'd like to find some way to get it to stop asking me to sign in ''without'' telling it to dump the iGoogle cookies when the session closes.

How Do I Change My Forum Password; How Do I Stay Signed In?

I posted about these issues in the Community Suggestion area of the board about two days ago, but have gotten no response.
Does anyone know how to change your password to this forum? I've searched high and low for a link, but can't find it.
Also, most other forums I use allow me to stay signed-in, either permanently or for an extended period of time. This forum requires I go to a separate sign-in page each and every time I visit the forum. Real PITB. Is there a way to stay signed in like one can on the other bazillion forums on the Internet?
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I'm hoping someone here knows the answers.
Thanks,
Rich

I looked and could not see how to change a password but here is an idea.
Next time you log in use the WRONG password a couple times. Then when they say, "look here dippy", did you forget your password, ask then to send it. Usually when this happens you have to pick a new one.
I would like to stayed signed in too but have not found out how to do it.

How do I stay signed in at the Itunes Store?

Hello,
I have a question. I used to have no problems having my ITunes Store account automatically log me in. However, ever since I received the update for a new version, it now keeps me asking to manually log in. This is very annoying! How do I get the ITunes Store to automatically log me in every time I open up both the program and the store? Any tips or advice on how to find this solution and fix it?

How do I stay signed in to Facetime?

Recently Facetime has been asking me for my Apple password the first time incoming calls are received after starting the computer. Until a couple of days ago, FT would always be automatically signed in, but now before answering a call I must input my password.
How do I stay signed in?

@Linc, the answer gets a bit involved. Sorry in advance.
Last week I spent an hour on the phone with Apple tech support because my computer suddenly and inexplicably cut off my access to iCloud. As an aside, I could still sign into iCloud via the web site and all my peripheral devices (iPhone, iPad). After much trouble shooting it came down to rebuilding a new keychain. Until that point I had always disabled iCloud keychain, preferring my 1Password instead.
After your question above, I noticed that iCloud keychain is checked under the System Preferences. Selecting the Options tab reveals a window with a check mark beside the "Allow approving with security code," and another tab to change that code. I don't remember ever making such a code.
I'm a bit wary of deselecting the iCloud keychain for fear of reproducing the previous problem.
Suggestions?

After updating to iOS 7 why can't I stay signed in at various sites?

After installing iOS 7 on my iPad 2 I am unable to stay signed in at all the various sites I subscribe to including media sites, retail sites and apps. What do I need to do to remedy this. I have never had a site not recognize me (obviously I check the keep signed in box). Thanks for the help.
