Clear Authentication Cache?

Hi Cole,

I am not sure if it is related but I would think you should check autofill ( not auto ill as i typed ) i beleive that is where all preferences are set for Safari ?.
Do you empty cache now & then?

Sorry if i am missing the point & can't be more help, let us know~ Eme

Hi
if you mean you do not want autofill to remember your password , then un-check the boxs in Safari's preferences > in Auto- ill.

Hope this helps, please post back.

Thanks. Eme:-)

Cole, you are Welcome,

Thanks to you, I just learned something new. Good job on the work around.+2u.

Good luck & regards ,Eme 🙂

But I found a work around. If I send a
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized header, the browser will
clear it's internal authentication cache and allow me
to reenter my username and password.

Hello Cole

How does one send the unauthorised header, as you mention above? And what are the correct following steps to clear the internal authentication cache that one then has to take? This would help me solve the problem I am having with configuring a router. I may also be able to solve it by using a browser other than Safari, but would prefer to stick with Safari if I can.

Many many thanks, Nick

I see you answer a lot of questions. I haven't received an answer to mine and thought I'd go to the source of answers. I can't seem to get the Autofill address book to change to English, it was in French for awhile now it is in something Germanic. I've changed the setting to only reflect English, but no go user names and passwords are fine. Any suggestions? Thank you, Susan

I'm not qutie clear exactly what the problem is from your post and whether the diffcuclty you're having is in the Address Book or Safari application. Can you be a bit tmore specific?

Have you gone to System Preferences>International and selected the languages in the order you want them?

If the problem is with either the Address Book or Safari application, shut whichever program it is, then highlight its icon, and then go to File>Get Info or Apple + I and select your preferred language(s) there.

Nick.

thanks for the reply, I think the problem is the address book ( must be me with the address book). I clicked on the address book icon in the dock and the language is still Swedish? I have gone to the international in system preferences and have only English on the list. Any more ideas I didn't understand apple+ l. Susan

Hi Susan,

I think that is a key command apple+ l,i do not know those much i do not use them unless nescessary for start up with CD or escape and such.
Try clicking on your address book then in Address book preferences> you have 6 tabs in the toolbar in first tab General tab> make sure you have the Language that is your preference, see if that helps you out.
good luck let us know please.

regards ,Eme:)

I went to system preferences - international- language-is set to English. when I go to the address book general preferences it is in Swedish (?) It would be easier if I could read Swedish and maybe figure it out. My laptop is fine and i've tried to compare them to no avail. Thanks Susan

Please note I have OS 10.3.8 and not Tiger, so there may be some differences in procedure here.

There is a difference between clicking on the Address Book icon in the Dock, which opens the application, and in highlighting the Address book icon in the Applications Folder on your hard disk. If you do the latter, and then use the key combination of Command or Apple (the key to the left of the space bar) with the 'i' key, this should bring up information on the Address Book application.

When I do this, the language options appear in the 4th 'paragraph' down (but may be 6th down with Tiger 10.4), after General, Name & Extensions and Preview. If you click on the triangle next to the word 'Languages' the options will be shown. I am offered, respectively:
zh_TW
zh_CN
sv
Spanish
pt
no
ko
Japanese
Italian
German
French
fi
English
Dutch
da

Even if everything is in Swedish (or whatever language that I would not understand either), the language options may be in the same order on your computer as on mine.

I have all the boxes against these languages ticked. Have you tried unticking them all, except the box in English?

There may be one more thing you can do. Go again to System Preferences>International>Languages (this is the left-most of the three tabs) and make sure that English appears at the top of the list of languages shown. If it is not at the top, drag it up there.

Let me know if this helps or not.

Hi again Susan,
I believe Nicholas is asking you to do this:
on finder >click screen so finder is the toolbar on top of screen
go to >GO down list to >Applications opens that window
click on Address-book Application once
so it is highlighted in blue, in the little box ❁▼ on left on task bar
of the Application window clicK on the the ▼click on get info the
little window will open you will see General info etc, down to language
look for your preferred language & un-check those that you do not wish to use.

when I go to the address book general preferences it is in Swedish (?)

in Address preferences in the General tab.Can you change that to english, please.

hope this helps
Let us know, kind regards, Eme

Dear eme, thanks for the help, I'm still stuck, but I may have the problem identified. I went to applications-address book-get info on my laptop (which I am not having any language problem with) and set up side by side with the imac. On the imac applications-address book-get info I get a picture of a sheet of paper with protractor and pencil, the language selection is short and doesn't include English. On the laptop I get a picture of a brown address book and under languages it has English with others. I don't know where to find the brown address book on the imac. As far as I know they are the same set up. Geez, this is not exactly life threatening here, but it's making me crazy.
