Yahoo has disabled Autocomplete for Safari
For anyone having problems using Yahoo email and finding that the Autocomplete function of their Address book does not work anymore:
A Yahoo Tech confirmed to me that they have temporarily disabled JUST that feature for all Safari users until they figure out how to implement it properly.
Apparently it works fine on some versions of Safari and not on others, so they just disabled it entirely for the moment.
I was running around in circles trying to figure this out because my MOTHER uses Yahoo mail and was having problems. It turns out the problem is NOT Apple, but Yahoo.
I was able to change the User Agent of Safari and it worked fine, but that is under the hidden DeBug menu and not really an option for most people.
Oddly enough the Autocomplete feature still works on Safari 2.0.3 under 10.4.7 but not under any other version I can see. Oh well.
For anyone interested, the CAMINO browser will work with Yahoo Mail's Autocomplete feature.
Also- Yahoo's "Nicknames" feature has apparently been disabled for EVERYONE (Mac & Windows). Nicknames are different than Autocomplete.
It was nice to hear that they are not just ignoring Safari users and that they are actively working to solve this (small) problem.

Thanks for that piece of information. Does Yahoo have a page somewhere explaining this stuff?

IE9 Disable AutoComplete for Forms Registry Setting (where is it?)
I have tried with no success to use GP to consistently force Disable AutoComplete for forms (User Configuration\Administrative
Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer).
Using GPResult,
some workstations show "disabled" when the setting is actually "enabled" through GP.
I am now pursuing a registry edit to force this to my workstations
consistently (key word; consistently). Does anyone know the correct registry key for IE9 on a Windows 7 Pro (64 bit OS)? I've tried about five so far and none of them work.
So far, I've tried:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AutoComplete]
"Append Completion"="no"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\WindowsSearch\AutoCompleteGroups REG_DWORD "0"
and a few more I forget...
I am supposing that a Microsoft support person will be the only one(s) in the know for this one but please help if you can!
Charlie NewmanHi,
As we all know we can disable AutoComplete throung IE settings. While if you want to disable them through Registry, it would be better to use Regshot to caputer registry modifing after this setting changed in IE.
I made a test in my test enviroment, there are some other volume and key modified, also contains:
Eg:
HKU\S-1-5-21-4145364215-115882434-1782034342-500\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Use FormSuggest: "yes"
Please make a capture in your system.

How to disable autocomplete for bookmark tag input?
Using FF 3.5.9 on Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04). When bookmarking a site, I always use tags, but the autocompletion feature for tag input is never right and always annoying. It also creates a compatibility issue with the Delicious Bookmarks add-on. The feature is still annoying even with all bookmark related addons disabled, however, and I'd really like to disable it. Anyone know how?
Hi,
you will need to use char field for achieving your aim.
kindly choose a char attribute for binding your input field on screen.
FYI : you can even remove the leading zeros from the char
SHIFT A LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows
First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.

OS: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick)
I am not able to use the APT for ubuntu because I'm behind a proxy. Installing the libflashplayer.so version 10.3.181.34 directly (downloading from adobe) doesn't work - Firefox claims that it has disabled it "for my safety." What? Just let me enable it. My browser is the 64-bit version.If you have a 64 bit Firefox version then you need a 64 bit Flash plugin.

OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0
The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version. Help me, please.The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly. -
Autocomplete email address in Yahoo doesn't work in Safari
Earlier this year there was some discussion on this topic, but it is not resolved. I am new to the Mac and find I'm having the same problem. Yes, autocomplete is turned in Safari pref., but that shouldn't matter. The autocomplete feature of Yahoo comes from their website, not from information stored on our personal computers.
Anyone know if there is a way to get Yahoo mail to autocomplete email addresses in the To: box in Safari as it does in browsers on the PC?
Thanks,
RalphHello, Ralph. Welcome to Apple Discussion~!!
Yahoo mail & Safari are not very compatible, I use earthlink web
mail it also does not autocomplete. Cater to the ms world.
Sorry not the answer you are looking for, perhaps someone has some
workaround but none I have seen so far.At this point I do not think so.
I wonder however if you could get your web mail to come into Apple
mail you could check in Mail & Address book forum.

Background:
I have had this problem for several months, now. This problem began when an update came for Java on the Firefox Plugin-check. I promptly installed the new Java update. But the Firefox update wouldn't register that I downloaded it, even after I refreshed the page. So, I got rid of the old Java, and downloaded the new Java again. When the page continued to display the same message it had before, I downloaded it a few more times. Finally, Firefox stopped saying that I was out of date. Then a few weeks later maybe, I check Firefox Plugin, and on the page it says that I am outdated in Java. So I downloaded Java again. But Java was still in the list, with red and said that it needed to be updated. I restarted the computer. Then, I restarted Mozilla Firefox with no add-ons. When Java still appeared that it needed to be updated, I gave up and didn't do a thing more about it.
Problem:
Today I decided to check my plugins. Java was not in update the list, and at the top a banner stated, "Missing JAVA? For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version." I clicked "upgrade to the latest version" and was led to the Java page. I clicked the download button. My cache stated that this was the (6) download of that same Java plugin (see background). I chose to re-download it anyways. But Firefox still insists that I have not downloaded it.
Question:
Do I need to go to the control panel of Java and change something? Do I need to fix some setting on Firefox? Should I disable Java altogether, delete all Java-related files on my computer, and start all over with Java? What should I do?Try using http://ninite.com/java/ninite.exe to install Java. Please note that even though you download it you have to double click it to get it to run and install.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I heard that there was a problem with Apple being vulnerable to Hackers. Has anyone seen an update for this issue? My IPad received the update last night but I have not seen anything for Safari.
Mac OS X 10.9.2 was released today for this issue and others. Earlier versions are not affected.
See this Apple article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6114
You can use the Mac app store to do the update or download it directly from here - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1725
Best of luck. -

I recently allowed the software update and the installation of java 7 has disabled a key task I need for my business, specifically being able to view 360 degree tours that I create.
Slightly different OS and update, but I was able to use Pacifist to install the java Update 15 for mac os 10.6 after Update 16 had screwed up some business-critical sw of ours. You will need to go to the downloads site and download the previous update, and then use Pacifist to re-install the earlier version.

This might or might not actually work -- it depends entirely upon the details of the updates, and you could end up in some weird jumble of pieces-of-multiple-updates all together... Java updates are patches, not a full copy of the software, so to really go back you have to start from the beginning and apply the updates in order. In the case of Update 16, we were lucky in that whatever was screwing up our program was changed in both Update 15 and Update 16, so writing the Update 15 back overtop of 16 fixed our problem. -

3 year old iMac 24 running OS 10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem? Does not happen on MacBookpro only on iMac.
