    Open Contacts and look for your own card. (It has a little icon with the word ME.)

     

    Click Edit and make some minor changes - does not matter what, you can erase something and reenter the same thing.

     

    Close Contacts.

     

    Does that help with Autofill?

    Open the iCloud pane in System Preferences. Is the box marked Keychain checked?

    Sorry to be so dense, but when I go to System Preferences on my MacBook Air, then iCloud, there is no keychain box in sight.

    On my Ipad, the Keychain is off.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

     

    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

     

    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

     

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

     

    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

    View ▹ Show Log List

    from the menu bar.

     

    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
