Version 5.0.1 will not remember Windows Live user ID and password

Every time I close Firefox and reopen, I am prompted for login credentials at my home page http://my.msn.com/
I have checked "Keep me signed in" at https://login.live.com/
I have played with most of the settings in Tools > Options > Privacy. I am unable to arrive at a combination of settings that allow my home page to open without typing in credentials

Firefox will not remember my hotmail user id and doesn't offer a box to do so it works in IE

Very frustrating. FF started acting up a couple of days ago. It began by showing my user id in hotmail. The next time I checked mail, (I had not shut down the computer) it was blank. I filled it in and then my password. When I shut off the computer and tried the next day. It asked if I wanted to remember my log in name. I said, Yes. After that, FF never remembered my user name and never provided a box to do so. I had not changed anything in FF since downloading 5.o several weeks ago.
It works fine in IE. I cannot find any answer anywhere that offers a fix. I even uninstalled 5.o and reinstalled. It still doesn't work.

I don't know if I can help but I have firefox and IE 8 and hotmail doesn't remember my username on either browser or computer. Seems to have occured about 2 weeks ago. I tried allowing cookies, changing security settings, etc. with no luck. my oS is XP and on laptop is windows 7.
i just wanted to let you know I am having problems with this also. I will bookmark this page and add to it if I have any luck. Please let me know if you find a solution.

Hey becky612,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPod nano is not recognized in iTunes after updating. The following troubleshooting articles may provide a resolution based on your symptoms:
Windows
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
Thanks,

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that resolve the issue for you?

New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?

New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?

The built-in guest user account will not do this. Simply create a new standard account and call it "Guest" or "Guest Users" or whatever you like.
Go to System Preferences > Users& Groups, click "+" to make a new account.

TS3988 my iphone will not update to the new email and password

my iphone will not update with the new email and password

Is your phone signed into an old iCloud ID of yours in Settings>iCloud?

Does Firefox have a feature like the software named Robo-form, where like if you wanted to go to your gmail, you could click on one thing, and not have to inter user name and password every single time?

Some times in Firefox I see pop ups where Firefox is allowing you to make Firefox remember a password or some such thing like that.
I want to go to an account or web site where I have already registered, type in my user name and password and then before I log in, have Firefox remember my log in information, so that in the future I could go to a folder let's say, that has a list, and just click on the one item, spending less time logging in at places.
Is this something Firefox does, or do I have to say, use a software like Robo-form?

Firefox 5.0.1 will not remember my.msn user name (Windows Live ID) and password

I use my.msn (http://my.msn.com/) as my home page. Firefox 5.0.1 does not seem to remember the Windows ID and password necessary to sign in automatically, and instead delivers the page https://login.live.com/ every time. I have tried every possible combination of settings at Tools > Options > Privacy but have been unable to resolve the issue.

New firefox will not remember my hotmails email addresses or passwords

the newer firefox (4) will not store my email addresses or passwords on msns hotmail. everytime i go to logon it has already forgotten my email address and i have to type it all in again

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.<br />

Thunderbird says no xul.dll so uninstalled but will not re-install - goes to administrator and password and our password won't work

When we tried to open Thunderbird it wouldn't, saying no xul.dll. Tried renaming it xul2.dll. No joy so uninstalled Firefox. On re-install it wouldn't do it, going to a box saying Administrator and asking for a password. Used normal computer login one and others but it just stopped doing anything. Tried to run it clicking normal user but again nothing. Have e-mails on 2nd computer but need it on this one as the main and new one.

This is a known bug for Flash Builder 4.5 and 4.6.
It will be fixed in next version of Flash Builder.
The workaround for Flash Builder 4.5 & 4.6 is to download both 32-bit & 64-bit debug player.

I had to restore my ipad but do not remember the original used name or password and now cannot start up the ipad. pl help

could not restart my ipad after restoring it as I could not remember the original user name or password I had associated it with then.

Try to reset your password at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) as described in this document:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.

Firefox will not remember last window size

I am using Firefox 32.0.2 on a Windows 7 computer.
Starting yesterday when a new window opens it will not remember the window size. It always opens to a small window that takes up about 1/4 of the screen. It should remember the last window size used and open new windows to that size.
I have not changed anything on the computer since it last worked that I am aware of (it is a work computer so IT could have done something).
I have already done a reset and deleted and recreated localstore.rdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may have a corrupt '''localstore.rdf''' file.

WIndows 7 and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences, requires setting every start up or wake up.

hello
I wondered if anybody here could be so kind as to help me solve this situation
i have two Windows 7 machines and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences,
i am running software on the windows server machine that collects data and serves information to two windows 7 machines, and network discovery is required for this purpose
these machines are configured in a local stand alone network configured as a workgroup the only other items on network are none PC based equipment that the server happily communicates with and reads data from
once the network discovery is set for the network the system runs as expected but on every start-up (or wake up) the network discovery is lost and need to be re allowed. this is the case in both windows server 20008 r2 and windows 7
how do i make these preferences permanent. so that it will restart and re establish communication its self without intervention
am i missing a setting or if not is there a way i can script the the selection of preference on each start(/wake)up.
the final user need to be able to turn system on/restart and use it with out having to have any IT/networking knowledge to get system running.
thank you for taking the time to read my query

You can use group policy to enable network discovery so that it is always configured
1. In the Group Policy editor on a Win7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, open the GPO that you want
to use in the Group Policy Editor.
2. Expand "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security", and then "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - {policy you have open}".
3 Right-click "Inbound Rules", and then click "New Rule".
4 In the Rule Wizard, on the Rule Type page, select"Predefined", and then select Network Discovery from
the list. Click Next.
5 On the Predefined Rules page, ensure that the check box is on each rule that is part of the Network
Discovery group, and then click Next.
6 On the Action page, select "Allow the Connection", and then click Finish.

OSX will not remember my windows network login and password

I have had this problem since starting at my current office. (Over 12 months.) I inherited a computer from a previous staff person. Each of my computers have been Macs. (3 different computers in 13 months.) We are mostly a Mac computer office but our Active Directory and File Server are both Window PC's. BOOO!
Whenever I try to log in to the file server I get the request for the my network user name and password. The window already has a user name but it's not mine. It is the user name of a previous user of my original computer (From 13 months ago.). I say original computer because I now have my thrid computer which I migrated from the first and second one. I'm sure whatever the problem it is has come along with each migration.
I have looked in my Keychain Access and found the network password item for the file server. When I opened it my username and password are correct.
So... where do I go from here? Thanks for your help.

Try this:
Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.
