Safari keeps logging me out...

I have had this problem ever since the update. I log into my websites and within 10 mins I am logged out and have to keep logging back in.

Anyone else have this problem?

I am using Leopard 10.6.3... Safari 4.0.5... Macbook Pro.

Help!?!?!

Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I'm glad it's not just me! I think Safari has become really unstable, too, lately. Lots of seemingly random crashes.

Good, so I'm not the only one. Same issues here - random crashes with dump dialogues, logging out of websites every half hour or so. Only occurred since latest 4.0.5 / 10.6.3 update.

IPv6 is on automatic, but I would be surprised if this is the problem. It sounds more like a cookie error as previously posted.

everyone at the Genius Bar and Level 2 product specialist AppleCare tells me they have NEVER heard of this issue, yet there are a lot of posts out there....

keeps logging me out of hotmail and aol every few minutes, only happened IMMEDIATELY after I upgraded to 10.6.3...

We are having the exact problem.. AOL logs off at random. Doesn;t matter if the system is idle or we are typing emails. Genius Bar said they have never heard of it.

Happy there are others seeing it (lots!), but ticked it exists at all.

I am not using glims, but I am using Xmarks for Safari. Anyone else?

I am seeing the problem on two Macs. Both running the latest OSX. Both running Xmarks for Safari.

I have to say - I disabled Xmarks for Safari and I haven't had a Safari crash since!

has anyone disabled Glims to see if this still happens?
but as you know those of us who want all windows to open in new tabs 100% of the time; this is the only option...

Im having the same issues with staying logged in as well, kind of annoying at times. A few unexpected crashes but nothing out of the ordinary.

This has been happening to me for a few days now. and its very frustrating. If anyone know any way to fix this please let me know.

Thank You.

I don't think it has anything to do with Glims or Xcuts as it is doing it for me on a totally clean install of 10.6 updated to 10.6.3 with the Combo Updater.

May 4, 2010 10:54 AM in response to Whatsup97

it's still doing it after a clean reinstall?

did you try going back to Snow Leopard? not 10.6.3?

This is so frustrating. Every single day, I'll be in the middle of Gchatting someone when Gmail all of a sudden loses connection. It won't reconnect and when I reload the page, I'm completely logged out. Why isn't someone either at Apple or Google acknowledging and fixing this problem? It couldn't be more annoying.

My solution has been to use Google Chrome (sadly).
