Why is Safari no longer auto-filling in passwords?

Up until this morning, Safari and Keychain were working and would auto-fill in passwords to various websites. I changed no preferences, deleted no keychain items, nor made any changes to the security settings, but now Safari refuses to fill in passwords. I also can't find these passwords in the Keychain Access; if I *change* the password, Safari asks if I would like to change the stored password. If I say 'yes', there is still no password recorded in the Keychain. If I try to make a new account on a website with a new password, Safari pops up with its usual suggested password; if I select it and move forward, I can not find this stored password anywhere (either Keychain or Safari). ***? I should just use 1Pass and Chrome.
The only weird thing that happened was I was trying to select between two different accounts/passwords on a website; it gave the usual beige/yellow selection box for selecting which stored password/acct to use, then it just went away before I could select something. After that, the above behavior started.

Back up all data. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm—the data will remain on the servers. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device. Test.

Why do podcasts no longer auto-delete in new v10.6.3.25 on Dell laptop Win7 despite menu settings

Why do podcasts no longer auto-delete in new v10.6.3.25 on Dell laptop Win7 despite menu settings?
tks

Found the error and posted a blog post here: http://www.red-abstract.com/blog/2009/11/19/itunes-90-and-auto-deleting-podcasts .html
The issue is that Apple put this behind another layer of configuration on the podcasts screen. Go to that screen and click "Settings." You will see there that you can configure the podcasts individually or set the defaults to remove played episodes. Only after setting this will iTunes honor to auto-delete.

I dont want in some sites auto fill the password but rather i want if i put atleast three correct entry then the password box be auto filled...plz reply asap...

dont auto fill d password in some sites but auto fill after atleast three correct entry..as gmail other member r also used this...

You can disable auto-fill (I'm using this as well), but you can't delay this by having to enter the same name more than once.
You can set the Boolean pref signon.autofillForms to false on the about:config page.
*You can open the about:config page via the location bar and accept the warning

Safari 3 Gmail auto-fill no longer working, latest Gmail software

Gmail now indicates that auto-fill (of email addresses) is not supported on Safari. They say it will work with Firefox. Auto fill worked fine until the last Gmail client update, plus Safari 3.
I feel it's in Apple's best interest to work this out with Google, quickly. Anybody else aware of this? I see multiple postings on Google's Gmail support site.

I noticed this yesterday but I swear it was working this last week and I have had Leopard and newest Safari on the machine since Oct. 30. I noticed Safari wasn't pre-filling like it used to and assumed it had to do with 1password which I have loaded up recently.
I hope Google and Apple get this worked out - I was just celebrating the fact that Safari is now able to let us use Google the way it should be used.

Mac Mail contacts no longer auto filling in the 'to' field

I have suddenly lost the ability to have the contacts from my account in my contacts program auto fill int he 'TO' section of Mac Mail
Yosemite 10.10.2
the contacts are there in Contacts and they were auto addressing as I typed a few letters now they are not.
Then when I go to prefs in Mail I can't select all contacts in Compose.
Why did I loose this auto feature all of a sudden,
how do I set Compose to use All Contacts for all my accounts
"Send new messages from" has no selection for ALL CONTACTS.
THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.

Ok, I don't know if I can do this but I'm gonna reply and explain how I fixed my problem.
Seems my main email contacts, I exported my ALL CONTACTS to Gmail and now in my Gmail account the address's show up with just the first couple of letters in the address.

Why does Safari no longer play video?

When IOS 8 came out & the macbook software was also updated around that same time (Nov/Dec 2014?), Safari no longer plays videos. It continuously claims that I need the most recent version of Adobe Flash installed and even though I do that, & other browsers can play videos without issue, Safari can't play any of them!!! Apple is getting worse than Microsoft nowadays with such issues popping up everywhere & never being resolved.

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
    Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.
    Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player.
3. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Auto fill-in passwords

In 2.0, I used the 1Password App for auto fill-in. I installed 3.0 and activated auto fill-in in Settings. However, if a site logs me out automatically, how do I cause Safari to enter the password when I log back in? 1Password fills in the User ID and password every time, but for some reason Safari in 3.0 seems only to fill in the User ID? Perhaps I configured it wrong.

I think this information is stored in
/Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
I've no idea if it's possible to read it (opened in TextEdit, it's encrypted).
But I wonder if it's possible to use a unix command that concatenates the two Form Value files on each Mac into one? If you want to try this make sure you keep a back up of each original Form Value file belonging to each Mac before messing about. Safari should be closed too.
Copy both files onto a single Desktop, you'll need to name them uniquely, say FormValues1 and FormValues2 (note no spaces) then type this command in Terminal (Applications/Utilities):
cat ~/Desktop/FormValues2 >> ~/Desktop/FormValues1
Then rename FormValues1 back to the original name of Form Values and move it back into the correct folder:
/Users/Library/Safari/Form Values
I expect you'll have duplicate values in that file now and I've no idea how Safari will handle this scenario, maybe it will clean up but so long as you keep a copy of the original Form Values files you can restore the status quo afterwards. Good luck.

Auto fill website passwords

How do I add a website to auto fill once it had been removed from the password list?

You're welcome

Why will Safari no longer allow me to avoid saving my History?!?

So at first I updated to Safari 4, but being extremely unhappy with the privacy options of the new browser, especially Top Sites (and the exclusion of the stop/reload button), I quickly reverted to Safari 3. I'm not sure if it was this switch, or the recent upgrade of my laptop (from a 2007 white 13" MacBook to the new 15" MacBook Pro, I simply swapped hard drives to "migrate"), but the recommended "fixes" to avoid Safari saving any sort of history (i.e. changing the history.plist document to a simple text file, or by changing it to a read-only file) no longer work! Is there any other method for preventing Safari from maintaining a history file, I hate it and have never had any need for such a thing! I've also tried this simple terminal command: defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit 0, also to no avail. I think this is an issue with Safari 4, because when I reverted back to Safari 3, I only altered a few files to be able to reinstall the older version. Help!

Enable private browsing. It says it does the following:
"When private browsing is turned on, webpages are not added to the history, items are automatically removed from the Downloads window, information isn't saved for AutoFill (including names and passwords), and searches are not added to the pop-up menu in the Google search box. Until you close the window, you can still click the Back and Forward buttons to return to webpages you have opened."

Auto fill for passwords in iphone safari

in ff and safai, 1P is very helpful, ur bring up a URL and it shows you your saved passwords to log in.
I cannot find the equivalent for iphone.
Option 1 - it would be fine with me if browser simply saved password for common web sites, like FF can do (not sure if safari does this on mac).
Option 2 - something that worked like 1P on the mac, where u open safari, type in a url (or via bookmark or icon) and u have the option of clicking on the logon.
There is a 1P for Iphone, but it works nothing like on the Mac or as described above.
Is there any such animal?
thanks

IOS8 / Safari not auto filling alternate account info and password

Hello,
since upgrading to iOS8 on my iPad4, Safari no longer auto fills alternate account / password info on same website. 'Settings' shows that I have multiple login/pass infos available for the same site.
PReviously, I could initiate the first couple letters of the account name, and the option to have Safari auto populate the rest of the info would be available.

I should also mention I am not in private mode.

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ?

Why Safari 6.0 will not auto complete the password ? even when the option is selected in autofill tab, and the user-password are listed in the password tab ?
It used to work fine before I upgraded to mountain lion.
Tks

Same problem for me since upgrading to ML. Safari remembers autofills for some passwords but not others. For example my web mail password was no longer auto filled. Checked in the keychain list and all the info was there. Therefore I deleted this and tried again - but Safari did not offer to remember the password. Than ran an old script I had that is designed to "Removed autocomplete=off from 0 forms and from 2 form elements, and removed onsubmit from 0 forms. After you type your password and submit the form, the browser will offer to remember your password." Safari then offered to remember the password. I accepted this and checked that the password was then saved in keychain - it was. However, next time I tried to access the email Safari once more did not auto complete. Very frustrating, especially as some auto completes do work. I hope apple sort this out soon.

BIG problems with iOS 8.2 Safari ("dark mode" menu bar, no auto-fill, etc)... HELP, please?

So I was simply wiping the dust off my screen, with Safari open, and once I had finished... Safari just went belly-up.
And I need some help badly.
First thing that I noticed was that Safari now has a "dark mode" menu bar.
Secondly, my auto-fill user names and passwords no longer "auto-fill" - I have to place the cursor in a field and have the keyboard pop up in order to access the auto-fill function: previously, the fields simply, well, auto-filled.
And, thirdly, when I attempt to post a message to the Apple Support Communities, there is no visible text in the body of the text. I'm using my MacBook Pro to type this message.
I have searched and searched to try to find remedies to my problems, but I can't find a thing. There's nothing unusual in Accessibility (that would make the whole screen, for example, grayscale), nothing changed in passwords, etc.
I'm at my wits end! Even restoring from an older backup doesn't remedy any of the problems.
Can anyone help?

If the menu bar at the top of Safari show white text on a grey background, and autofill isn't working, then you probably have private browsing 'on'. Tap the icon top right of the Safari screen (the square on top of a second square), tap the Private button at the top of the next screen and then Done - Safari should then go back to its normal colours and autofill should work again
