Why is there no Passwords tab in my Safari Mountain Lion Preferences?

I need to remove a stored password from my laptop, but there is no Passwords tab in my Safari Mountain Lion Preferences window. How can I get past this roadblock?

Do you have some other software installed, like a password manager, that is removing the Passwords tab?
Take a look in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access. Your password may be stored in there. Look in the Login Keychain, Category: Passwords. You can just select the password and delete it.
You could reinstall Safari perhaps to restore the Passwords tab. I don't think you can just download Safari by itself, though. You'd have to reinstall Mountain Lion. Alternatively there's an app called Pacifist that will let you extract the Safari installer package from the ML installer. CharlesSoft — software you always wished someone would write

  • Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
    I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
    My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
    So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
    I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
    Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.

  • Why can I not use Airplay on OS X Mountain Lion.

    Why can I use not Airplay on OS X Mountain Lion, to stream Mac Book screen via appletv to my television. I have a Mac Book Pro Dec 2010.

    Your model is not supported by Airplay, sorry.

  • Since I installed 10.9.2, why is there no pictures options in my screensaver in system preferences.

    When I updated to 10.9.2, I can not choose any of my pictures to be used as screensaver. There is no Pictures option any more in the screensaver.

    Are you sure? There are two tabs in  Desktop&Screensaver:
    Desktop: here you can add folders/pictures and so on with the + sign underneath.
    Screensaver: on the elft side you have the OS standard screensavers, on the right side you have a image with underneath it  "Source:" with a field to choose next to it. There is no "options" field.
    If you do not have it, Reinstall the OSX with a startup while holding CMD+R: it leaves your user data alone (but of course you have backups).

  • No autofill or passwords in Safari and Chrome Safari Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion Safari and Crome even Norton Identity safe can't Autofill, use my keychain save passwords or even ask me to save a new password..In Safari I do have check Autofill tab Use name and passwords but nothing , in Chrome I went to advance setings and I have check Ask to save passwords and nothing Norton Identity safe have passwords stored but nothing ..It seems that theres a problem with the system extentions or preferences ......
    I need some H E L P !

    Same problem with my MacBookPro and Mountain Lion. Passwords on the Apple site (like this support site) work fine. My brokerage account does not and they tell me it's not them, but an Apple issue. Also, serial numbers on some of my smaller aps have disappeared; at least one vendor told me it was a common Mountain Lion experience.
    I like Mountain Lion but I liked autofill and solid app validation even better. This is a turd in the punchbowl. Hard to believe that a company bent on zero flaws would let this slip through.Could it be due to the sandboxing or other security measure? Is Apple becoming like the US government -- so bent on "security" that it can't fulfill its own mission?

    why is this better than rosetta?  I've done the rosetta thing for a few people and it's pretty simple...
    ANSWER:
    I have come to the conclusion that the Installer app is NOT written in PowerPC, but otherwise has a bug that triggers the "PowerPC apps..." dialog box in Lion and Mt. Lion.
    While you and others have attempted to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD into Lion or Mt. Lion, I am convinced that it only works to side-step this bug and allow the installer to complete the installation.
    Think about it: if you can install Rosetta into Lion or Mt. Lion and get a PowerPC installer app to work, why doesn't that installation of Rosetta work for any of the hundreds of other PowerPC apps (and indeed they fail when launced to run in Lion or Mt. Lion with Rosetta installed)? 
    The conclusion is simple: the FCS2 installer app is NOT PowerPC and installing Rosetta into Lion or Mt. Lion will fail to gain any use of Rosetta on either platform.
    So, you might respond, but if the simple installation of Rosetta into Lion or Mt. Lion fixes the bug and allows the installer app to function, why not?
    The answer is more complicated: I am now reading posts on this and other forums of DANGER later on down that road.  People who earlier installed Rosetta into their Lion computers are now reporting all sorts of otherwise unexplainable crashes, freezes, etc.!
    There are two DANGER-FREE ways to install this program:
    1`.  Use Terminal as suggested above but described in more detail by Jeremy Johnstone on his blog (and be sure to read Aric's June 4, 2012 comment): http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html; or
    2.  Use Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
    DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL ROSETTA INTO LION OR MOUNTAIN LION!

  • Why does App Store show i haven't bought mountain lion???

    I've bought the OX X Mountain Lion and truly installed. But I enter the App Store again. I see the price tagged on the Mountain Lion software which means I haven't bought yet? At the same time, I check the Purchased page on App Store. I can't find any purchasing record either. Anything else I bought is showed up. Why??? Please help me to solve it. Thanks a lot : )

    Same thing has happened to me. I purchased and installed Mtn Lion (on this MacBook Pro). I even installed it on my home Mac mini. However, when I went to the App Store, it was not listed it in my Purchases list, and it has a purchase price button on the Mtn Lion app page. I restarted the computer(s), signed out & back in w/ correct Apple ID, trashed preferences, asked it to check for unfinished downloads, tried on other computers (one w/ Mtn Lion, one w/ Lion installed)...nothing worked so far.
    Then I stumbled on the answer...
    Go to the top Menu bar > Store and click on View My Account (accountname), then enter you password. In the following dialog window, you should see listed Hidden Purchases under the iTunes in the Cloud section. Click on the View Hidden Purchases and the next screen should show Mountain Lion as hidden...simple click Unhide. It should now show in your Purchases list as well as offer Download button on Mtn Lion info page.

  • ICloud Tabs not working on Mountain Lion ?

    Hello,
    I'm annoyed with a problem on my Mac mini, iCloud Tabs won't work on it. But the thing is that's working between
    my two iDevices (iPhone, iPod) and not on my computer.
    I've tried the following,
    - Disable the iCloud account in all the devices and then log in again.
    - Look for help in the Safari (on the Mac) preferences.
    ( Private browsing is disabled)
    Can anyone solve this problem,
    Thanks

    Has anyone found a solution?
    It´s now 2013 & Apple have still not rectified this!
    I also see all iCloud Tabs on my iOS devices, but not on my Mac Mini (All have latest updates / Mountain Lion & iOS 6 etc.).
    This function was highly promoted by Apple, & if it doe´snt work - Its a Rip off & Apple should either fix it, or apologise!
    I don´t know a single person who can see their iOS Tabs on a MAC of ANY kind!!!

  • Is there any way I can still get Mountain lion 10.8?

    I never knew that that Macbook Pros could have iMessage until now. Am I a little to late to get OS Mountain lion 10.8 since OS X Mavericks is out. So is there anyway I can get OS Mountain Lion. Also without OS Mountain Lion 10.8 you can not get OS X Mavericks.

    False. You can upgrade to Mavericks from OS X 10.6.8 ( Snow Leopard ) if your Mac supports it.

  • Is there a way to refresh Messages in Mountain Lion?

    I have noticed a reoccurring issue in regards to the Messages app in Mountain Lion. It often times does not sync messages correctly. Or sometimes it has a long delay for receiving messages, and out of order. The messages app for ios has a pull down to refresh option, is there any similar feature for the Mac OS version? If there currently is how do you force a refresh?

    HI,
    At present the Out of Order iMessages is a "known Issue".
    The current best "fix" is to relaunch the app after an sync period has caught up.

  • Why is my macbook running slower after loading OSX mountain lion?

    Just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and my laptop seems to be running slower - delayed window filling, etc.  Anyone else notice this problem or have any solutions?  Should I just go in to see a genius?
    TIA,
    ddhall

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
    Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the slowdown.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Select the 50 or so most recent messages in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Why does my Launchpad background revert to default in Mountain Lion?

    This is a very minor issue but it has me curious to know the reason. When I activate Launchpad I use ctl+opt+cmd+B to cycle through the background effects and choose blurred black and white instead of blurred colour. My setting never seems to stick though. It will revert back to the default setting with the blurred colour background, most likely when I restart/reboot.
    I've done some searching around for this but haven't had any luck finding out the reason for why Mountain Lion won't retain this setting. Any ideas?

    If you log in automatically, a long-standing bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only known workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "TeamViewer" application can have this effect; see this thread. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.
    If you have a MacBook Pro model with automatic graphics switching, disable it temporarily in the Energy Saverpreference pane, set the Desktop picture, then reboot and re-enable graphics switching.
    If none of the above applies to you, proceed as follows.
    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists: 
    Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
    and move the following items to the Desktop, if they exist:
    Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db
    Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

  • Why can't I deactivate or uninstall CS6 on Mountain Lion

    Hi Folks,
    Having a frustrating few days. I work for a large company that do everything by the book when it comes to software (and rightly so). I upgraded from Premium CS 5.5 on Mountain Lion to Premium CS 6. I downloaded the trial version and successfully input my new serial number and only after the installation had completed did all the problems start to manifest. Everytime I opened an app I would get an error message telling me that the software did not install properly. My acrobat would not open or respond. I tried to unistall CS6 and ran the adobe cleaner app to see would that resolve the problem, and it didn't.
    I ran the installation software again and still have the same problems, I cannot deactivate or uninstall it now. There seems to be no CS uninstaller like there was in CS4, alI the uninstaller apps aliases (in the indivdual apps folders) are just shortcut aliases that don't respond. I would like to completely remove it now.
    Please can some advise what I can to either 'manually' deactivate it and remove it. Really need help on this!!!!
    Thank you in advance.

    Anyone? Pretty please?
