Why doesn't my iMAC (Safari) always ask to save my password for a website?

Many of my old websites have a saved password on the Safari preferences. But lately no new sites have asked me "if i want to save the password to this site".
My settings in Safari have not changed.. Any ideas what causes this and how to change set up to always ask to save my password?
Thank you,
VA

The OP doesn't say they are having problems with their old websites.
Many sites delibertly code their login web pages so passwords won't be saved. I don't know how to determine this.
Now, if you are having a problem with an old website that previously worked. It may not because the keychain is outdated.
This is a real pain. Especially when I deleted a bunch of keychains, yet when I go back to safari and type username and asswords, I don't get a prompt to save them. At least at login.yahoo.com
What is the chance of safari getting changed to remember all entered data regardless of how the login webpage is encoded? I have heard third party applications do this. It shouldn't be website determined. Shared computers - no saving, most other cases, up to user.
Now instead of my passwords safe in the keychain, I have to save them somewhere else. A lot more inconvient and insecure.

The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

How do I make Firefox ask me again if I want to save a password for a website when I've already told it no?

I go to a website and login to it.
Firefox asks me if I want to save the password.
I say No.
Later, I decide that I do want Firefox to save the password to that website.
How can I make Firefox ask me if I want to save that password again?
The website is not listed in the (Options \ Security \ Passwords \ Exceptions) list.

Only if you choose "Never" then an exception is created.
Otherwise Firefox should offer to save the password on the next visit.
Did you look for the presence of a key like icon at the left end of the location bar?

How do I save a password for a website that I previously rejected in WINDOWS Safari?

I have found a lot of info on how to reverse a "NEVER" reply to keychains request to save a Name and Password for future AutoFill, but not for Windows version of Safari. How can I do that?

Hi..
Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari
Use either IE or Chrome instead.

On V4.0, I am unable to get Firefox to save my passwords for critical websites I use frequently. I have followed the recommended procedures to insure that I am asking Firefox to remember passwords.

I have gone to tools, options, security and have made sure that remember passwords is checked, but I never get the request to save the passwords when accessing websites requiring username and password. I am using Windows 7 Operating System.

I spent hours trying to remedy this yesterday but eventually discovered that if you click twice (not a double-click) in the slot, Firefox shows your name and password. So many things not functioning and/or unexplained in Firefox 4.

Why doesn't my iMac tell me what is being down loaded when I can see that my modem is downloading something

why doesn't my imac tell me what is being dowloaded when i can see that my modem is downloading something?

There are many reasons for the activity light on your cable or DSL modem to be flashing. Your Mac could be checking for or downloading updates in the background. It could be checking e-mail. It could be syncing a cloud service like iCloud, Dropbox, etc.
If your Mac isn't the only thing on the network, then the light could be flashing due to some other device on the network downloading an update, syncing something, etc.
And, of course, it's always possible your network is under attack by an automated botnet or something. You'd be surprised how often a device exposed to the internet directly - as a modem like this is - will be hit with attempted attacks, in an attempt to find things that are vulnerable.

Why doesn’t my imac turn on when I turn on Apple TV?

Yes, otherwise some people might have to walk up to the third floor and turn on iMac,
and then go back down to living room in order to stream form iTunes. My iMac is close,
but not in same room. There must be something I don't have set up right.

Why doesn't apple's safari support asp on internet pages?

I wonder why doesn't apple's safari support asp?
I am a new mac osx lion user for 6 six months. I'm not a computer speciallist but I know asp is widely used in the world since long time. this prevents me entering data and creating reports on many governmental, commercial and social internet sites. I'm realy fed up with that.
there may be some technical and stability issues but this prevents mac osx lion users from doing their work. Apple has to listen us. we want asp.

Hi...
Try using a different browser like Firefox or Chrome.

Google Chrome

Always Asks To Save

Whenever I quit GB it always asks to save. Even when I haven't changed anything. Anyone know why?

Nope, just open and close. I don't touch anything else and still does it. It doesn't do it with certain projects I have, so that why I'm thinking that it maybe be an echo, from the auto-record enable from when you open a project, that is causing the message to appear.

My Apple ID was changed. Yet when I try to update apps I am asked to enter the password for the old IG which will not work and no matter what I do. When I attempt to update apps it still askes for the wrong ID data.

My Apple ID was changed. It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store, Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does. I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username. The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data. This is making my older IPAD unuseable.

You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

I asked firefox to remeber a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

I asked Firefox to remember a password for a website and it's the wrong password. How do I change it?

The left side of the address bar contains a button you can click to get information about that site. The button usually has a little mini-icon for the site and (if it's an encrypted site) the site's name. When you are on the site in question, click that button then click the "More Information" button on the dialog that appears. Alternatively, you can use the Tools menu and click "Page Info". Once you do that (either way) click the "Security" tab at the top and you will be able to click a button to view saved passwords for that site. Delete the incorrect password from that list. You can then log off the site and log back on to have Firefox offer to remember the new password.

How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on: http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem. I have recently switched over to Apple. Thanks for your help!
FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password. It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request. There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).
