Safari AutoFill no longer works

Today, I woke up to find that my Safari auto-fill options do not work.  I noticed that all the options to enable AutoFill are grayed out.

Same is also the case with the password tab:

It's very frustrating to go to each site and to copy and paste passwords from my keychain. That would have disabled these options? I searched the forums and couldn't find all the solutions that can solve this problem. Help, please. It is on OS X El Capitan.

PC Backup.

Remove the test and com.apple.Safari.plist file.

Empty the trash.

Quit all applications.

Hold down the option key and click on the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.

Select 'Library' in the menu dropdown.

Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist

Right-click on it and select "place it in the trash.

Close the Finder window.

Turn it back on.    Restart Safari.

If this does not help, "put back" the com.apple.Safari.plist

Right click on the trash icon in the Dock, then select 'open '.

Right-click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select 'Put Back'.

  • AutoFill no longer works after upgrade to Safari 9.0.3

    I upgraded to Safari 9.0.3 yesterday on my Mac Mini 2.5 Ghz OS x 10.10.5 and the AutoFill feature no longer works. The password file still exists, but the AutoFill feature does not work. I ran the check / repair S.o.s. keychain and no problem not found.

    Check Safari/Preferences/passwords to ensure that AutoFill user names and passwords is enabled.

  • AutoFill no longer works correctly.

    A few days ago, I decided to try to use DashLane to help with the management of my password. Not that Firefox did a bad job or anything like that, but I just... "what the devil." After about 2 days of trying to get DashLane to quit trying to save every little thing I was working, I had enough and uninstalled.

    Since that time, my Firefox passwords did not work correctly at all. They're here, but unless I seized the first letter of the user name, the password will not be displayed. Before, I didn't do anything. I tried several methods have been proposed to others on the forum, but without success. I'm at a point where I want to just uninstall Firefox altogether and start over again.

    Any thoughts? I thank everyone's help in this case.

    FOUND THE SOLUTION!

    Went to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/?utm_source=firefox-com & utm_medium = referral Firefox and where it says "Refresh Firefox", just clicked on the button and it automatically does the rest.

    Sure that after installing Dashlane somehow hijacked my Firefox browser, but after an uninstall, made out clearly what he needed. Sometimes I think these kinds of things are intentional by the publishers of software, just to make you feel that you have to come back.

    In any case, this solves my problem entirely, and AutoFill works superbly!

  • AutoFill no longer works for sites with multiple login accounts

    A few days before, (I think after the update of FireFox 31), I noticed websites where I have multiple accounts login, I cannot select the username I want autofilled.
    for example: Say Gmail (or yahoo mail), I have multiple user accounts. Clicking in the user name field, correctly lists the accounts that I have on this site. However, by clicking on one of these ID does not being filled with auto name. I have to type in the entire code.
    Sites where I only have 1 ID continue to work properly.
    On a 'Utilities' Bill-pay site, where I used to have an old inactive ID, in addition to an asset, also wouldn't let me pick/auto-fill the active code. However, when I deleted the inactive ID in the drop-down list, the rest of the ID of 1 gets filled with auto.
    Once the ID is filled in, the password gets filled with auto.

    Any idea?

    You can check if this problem is caused by an extension.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
  • AutoFill no longer works on the forms?

    Have you checked Safari/Preferences/fill automatic to ensure that all the boxes are ticked? Have you checked Safari/Preferences/passwords to ensure auto-fill is enabled?

  • JETech 2010 keyboard no longer works correctly!

    Keyboard no longer works. At least remove them and T keys do nothing. I have blue tooth, forgotten unit redefined and networks... Any other ideas please? Thanks in advance X

    Try the keyboard on another Mac or PC. If it still fails, you know the keyboard is broken. You can also try the keyboard when it is started in recovery as a basic test mode. That will tell you if the keyboard works well when a single copy of the operating system is running without all your installed applications.

    OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    Select the option to browse the web to try the keyboard in Safari in recovery mode.

    If the device is 2010, you should seek to buy a new device, otherwise if it is new & still in warranty, return it to the store or the manufacturer.

  • Send to NextDoor App links no longer work

    I have the NextDoor App and when I get emails from them with links to post, it open directly in the App NextDoor when I clicked on them. Then he began to go to Safari which asked me if I wanted to open them in the application in a pop-up like the interface, but I had to click on it quickly or he would disappear and the link will open in Safari. Safari now has a banner at the bottom that says: 'NextDoor for iPhone. It's more fast, easy and free"with a big green button on the APP OPEN. I click on that, and this brings me to the App Store and shows the app NextDoor where it says OPEN because I have already installed the application. If I click that, he opened NextDoor but don't get the link I chose, just the main site. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but which did not help. I tried to remove all Web Site data in Safari, but that no longer works.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Verify with the application developer

    2. check the NextDoor if possible iPhone forums

  • Tap to click and three fingers slide no longer work after El Capitan update - MACBOOK AIR early 2014

    Things no longer work after the update are:

    1. TAP to click (I checked it on SYS PREF > TRACKPAD > tap-to-click)

    2 finger three windows

    3 Thre finger of several files and text selection.

    I have selected three fingers slide accessibility and options of the trackpad iv done 4 fingers to mision statement and app expose, but the problem is that these feature mission statement and the rest three fingers still work. :@

    It was just beautiful in yosemite please give a solution.

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    Step 1

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is localized to your user account.

    Select the feedback connections* and log in as a guest. Do not use the Safari connection only 'user comments' created by 'find my Mac '.

    While signed in as a guest, you will have access to your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you use them for the first time. Do not be alarmed by this behavior; It's normal. If you need any password or other personal information in order to complete the test, save, print, or write them before you start.

    Test while signed in as a guest. You have to re-create your trackpad settings. Same problem?

    After testing, log on to the guest account and in your own account, disable it if you wish. The files that you created in the guest account will be automatically deleted when you log out of it.

    * Note: If you have enabled 'find my Mac' or FileVault, then you cannot activate the guest account. The login 'User comments' created by 'Find my Mac' is not the same. Create a new account to test and delete it, including his home folder, after testing.

    Step 2

    The goal of this step is to determine if the problem is caused by changes in the system of third party that load automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Please take this step regardless of the results of step 1.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you normally connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Dictionary widget no longer works

    The Dictionary widget no longer works after upgrade to "Sierra". It is extremely annoying, since I am a professional translator and use this widget all the time. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this?

    Best regards

    Ran into the same issue. It seems that Sierra is not any dictionaries installed. Start the Dictionary application and download the dictionaries that it provides. Once completed restart your machine or simply kill the process dashboard. The Dictionary widget will be fully functional.
