Autofill not working

Question

Autofill not working

Autofill is not working since I installed Snow Leopard. Does this have anything to do with my Address Book? I've noticed that the icon of a person is not beside my name in Address Book and was wondering if autofill gets its information from Address Book?

Are there other reasons that autofill will not work. Preferences are setup correctly in Safari.

Your help is appreciated.

Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access a d click on the menu items and do a "Repair Keychain". Plus if this still exists after this then quit Safari and then go to /YourHardDrive/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ And move the file com.apple.Safari.plist to the desktop. Once you open Safari again you will have to go to Safari's Preferences (in the Edit menu item) and set up your personal Safari Preferences again. This procedure will reset Safari, Good Luck.

Hello Walter:

Just to amplify and address one of your questions:

Autofill gets its information from several places as defined in Safari>preferences>autofill. As indicated, trashing the Safari preference file will reset those preference values to defaults.

Finally found the solution and it was on Apple Discussion. I did not have my card in Address Book marked as "self". Check it out at:
