Update preventing safari auto fill help pl

Auto Fill suddenly stopped functioning last week. The only update I performed was Adobe Flash 11.9 which is why I wonder if there is a colloration between the two. Reason for colloration is because Adobe Flash update required I change level of security permissions to access automatically search link. After that Auto Fill stopped.
Never touched perferences pertaining to Auto Fill.
Also wondering if recent iOS 7 on iphone when last sync blocked auto fill. Need to restore function concrete suggestions welcomed Thank you

I have the latest version of Flash installed withuot any issues with Autofill.
Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
Then try Autofill.

Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback? Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information. I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill. I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open. I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message. Then I went back to try again and it won't open. It drives me crazy. I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

Why won't Safari auto-fill work most of the time?

Safari Auto-fill sends me a note it can't fill because the info doesn't match--but it does match. Won't even fill in address, etc. Happens about 60% of the time. Thank you!

Hi cmate;
You might have better luck with your Safari question if you posted it over in the Safari forum.

Need help with Safari auto fill.

Auto fill problems.
1. It's spotty in its application. On some pages it works fine and fills in all fields with one click. On others it says "can't complete form", but then as I begin typing each field, it gives me fill in options. Why can't it just fill them in from the start?
2. My name and phone number fields have bad values that it tries to fill in. I keep entering the right stuff on new forms, but it never seems to "learn" them. How can I find and remove or overwrite the bad values, without deleting all the other fields it has learned properly (do not want total reset)? I think it is getting the last name first version of my name from address book where I have that option set, but I don't want that in my web fill ins.
3. Is there a master auto fill template somewhere with field names and values I can edit? Or does it collect this for every different URL I ever fill in, and so there is no way to set values I want used in all web pages?

HI,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to *Other Forms*. Remove all.
And under the Autofill tab, make sure: *User names and passwords* and *Using info from my Address Book card* are both selected.
If you have problems logging into a site...
Quit Safari (Command + Q) Now open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
Now relaunch Safari. Login to a site with your user name and password as you normally would, then click Yes when prompted. That will create a new keychain for you.
Keychain Access stores your passwords securely.
Or does it collect this for every different URL I ever fill in,
Correct. But only if you have *user names and passwords* and *Using info from my Address Book card* selected in Safari / Preferences - Autofill.
Another suggestion when having problems using a website, is to delete the cookies. Go to Safari / Preferences / Security. Click *Show Cookies*. Delete the url's for that site then relaunch Safari.

My Safari Auto fill forms never works

My Safari (V5.0.1 (6533.17.8)) Auto fill forms never works. It is precisely tied to my
address book card. I get this message:
AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill.
but every thing matches.
And yes prefs checked to use address book.
Any thoughts please? Thanks

HI Steve,
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain.
Relaunch Safari.
Hope this helps...

Safari auto-fill problem

Hi all.. Since the second last firmware update of my Touch 2nd gen, Safari normally auto-fills website's login forms (thus settings should be okay) except for.. wlan login forms! Therefore, every time I have to manually write down username and password in order to gain network access.. I don't know whether it is a known issue or even a strange "wanted" feature..in any case, there's a way to overcome this annoying problem? Thank you in advance.

I have asked a similar question several times before, and I have the answers varied from the typical I do not have that problem to its a security feature incorporated in Safari.
I tend to think it is a new feature added ito safari n the last several months (via an update).
The bottom line is I am NO longer able to stay logged into various websites if I quit safari, even though the websites have the feature available that should allow a user to stay logged in for 2 weeks.
The only way I can now stay logged in for an extended period of time is to NEVER quit Safari.
That is not an option for me.

Safari Auto Fill Issue - Same domain with multiple logins

Hello Group,
I am working with Safari's Auto Fill feature for user names and passwords on website pages that I log into and it is not doing what I would like it to do. For some reason I am unable to save more than one login per domain and is not seeing the entire url path. If save my user name and password for say this url path of ************* it will save the user name and password but when you look in safari->preferences->autofill, its only showing the top level of the domain and not the entire path.
And if there is a different page on the site located at a completely different url path such as *********** that I need to log into and I try to save a user name and password for this different url path, it asks me if i want to update the current user name and password, and I don't want to do that, I want to save a new different user name and password for this second login screen.
Is there anyway to get this to see the entire url and remember separate logins for each different page on the same domain? Thanks.

To the moderator. Thank you for approving my post, but how am I suppose to show what I am talking about if you go and remove the url examples I put in my post? The links were not bad, spam or etc, they were just examples paths I made up.

How to Transfer Safari Auto-Fill Passwords to Chrome

How do you transfer all of your saved auto-fill passwords from Safari into Chrome?
It won't let me do it in Preferences/Personal Stuff/Browsing Data
The box "saved passwords" is grayed out and it won't let me select it!
Thanks in advance for any help!
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE I AM RUNNING:
2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
OS 10.6.7

The box "saved passwords" is grayed out and it won't let me select it!
Are you referring to: Manage Saved Passwords ??
Your passwords are stored in Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
Click the Personal Stuff tab.
Adjust your password settings in the "Passwords" section:
Select "Offer to save passwords" if you want Google Chrome to prompt you to save your password every time you sign in to a new website.
Otherwise, select "Never save passwords" if you don't want Google Chrome to ever save your passwords.

Two major bugs in Lion - Zoom and Safari auto fill search bar

hey there
every since I updated to Lion I've been experiencing two major bugs... zoom randomly stops working (the one where you press control and zoom in and out) even though it's set to work on the settings. Safari is also experincing a problem concerning the search bar. mine is set to google and whilst on full screen mode, it randomly stops auto filling as opposed to what happens in non full screen mode. I actually need to get off full scren mode and go back to it to make it work again. as to the zoom thing, I need to restart my computer everytime is stops working. any ideas ? thanx !!

You don't need to restart. Quit Safari or logout and back in.

Keychain and Safari Auto Fill

I've never been able to figure out the relationship between the Auto-Fill function in Safari and the Keychain program function that seeems to do the same thing. If anyone knows of any doumntation on this subject I would appreciate it.
THE CURRENT PROBLEM:
I have certain web sites that request User Name and Password but don't activate the OSX three-button window that asks if I want to save/ignore the password.
The site that is currently not working is cingular.com. Now that I think about it - the username there is a three-window phone number - maybe Keychain/Auto-Fill has to be a username follow by a single window for a password.

I am not an OS expert, but it is not a site "controlling" an OS. You are using a WEB browser application to visit a web site.
Various browsers offer various extension functions and some of those features can be disabled by web sites or enabled. e.g. pop up windows pop-up without your "permission" because some web sites want to pop up extra ads etc. in front of you.
Financial institutions (not all) often set up pages not to auto-populate the user name/password for your safety. Some content providing web sites (e.g. photo libraries) will even actually disable the COPY IMAGE function in some browsers to keep people from copy-pasting-saving their copyrighted materials.
CONTROLLING your OS would mean they can delete files, install viruses, etc. That would not be a good thing.

Safari Auto-fill URL Needs Work

When I begin typing a previously visited website URL into the address field, that doesn't necessarily mean that I want to return to the same page of that site which I previously visited. That means, while it's nice to have the auto-fill (or auto-complete; whatever you call it) function, I would much rather it just autofill the homepage URL of that site. Even though a drop-down menu appears with suggested URLs, many of us just type and hit enter, only to find we've landed someplace else. Many times, previously visited pages have been changed or deleted and, instead of getting the all-too familiar 'Error 404' (page does not exist), I have to enter the URL again, and then delete the part of it that the auto-complete has erroneously guessed that I wanted. Take a tip from Netscape Navigator 4.72 for Mac: auto-complete ONLY the homepage URL... nothing more. Thanks.

Hi Mike
From other related threads, seems a number of users are waiting for something different from Apple in this area. Sending feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple is one effective way of reaching Apple Software Engineers.
In the meantime, the only effective work-around is to press the space bar before typing the URL. Of course, no prompts appear, however, the long list doesn't appear either.

Safari Auto Fill Stopped working

The auto fill in Safari 4 has stopped working. It used to be when I went to, say, eBay, my name and password would automatically be there. Now, the spaces are blank. But, when I type in the first letter of my ID, the rest of the ID and the Password appear, and function properly.
What happened to this, and why did it change, and how do I get it back to all being there right away?

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Where you see: Usernames and Passwords, make sure that box is checked.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities. Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the eBay keychain on the right. Quit Keychain Access. Launch Safari if it isn't running. Navigate to eBay and login. When prompted, click: Always Allow.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64.* Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

IOS8 iPad Air (A7) Safari Auto-fill slows text entry down

iPad Air (A7)
iOS8
64GB
I am entering text into the following site (renew a subscription): http://oracle-sub.halldata.com/site/ORA000401OCrenew/init.do?{removed http query params}
Safari auto text is severely slowing text entry (the suggested text at the bottom of the screen is cool, but seems to cause a drag)
Aside from turning this nifty feature off, iOS8 safari seems it needs to be tuned to work properly.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Safari auto-fill question... I think

I just installed 4.0.2 and I cannot get the program to stop giving me the drop-down options of Top Hits, History, and Bookmarks as I type in an address.
This is incredibly annoying and I cannot seem to turn that off. I just want to be able to type in my Web addresses without having anyone who is near my laptop see my bookmarks and history.
Maybe I'm just missing it, but how do I make it stop dropping under the address bar?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Any word on if that is going to be available in a future version?
I agree it ought to be an option. No word from Apple of coming features.
You can always send feedback to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple. While Apple doesn't respond to feedback, the information is provided to the software team for consideration.

Safari auto fill

I'm coming from Chrome, and have Mavericks, and the new Safari, but I am having trouble with the form autof-fil. For example, I ebay for a living, and on the leave feedback form, all I have to do in chrome is click the empty form, and it will show the last text typed in to the feedback form. Will safari not do this? I've also added the Lazarus form recovery extension, which also does is also not working. Any ideas and help is much appreciated.
Cheers!

From your Safari menu bar (top of your screen) click View > Cuatomize Toolbar
Click and drag the Autofill icon straight up to the Safari Toolabr either side of the url/search bar.
You can click the Autofil icon from there.
Also, with Safari open press Command , (comma) to open Safari preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Select the Autofull webforms from there.
