This is probably a simple fix, but my Auto-Fill in Safari has not been working for a long while. I have linked it to a different address book entry and it still doesn't work If I type out my email again, I'll go nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

Please don't be insulted by what I'm about to ask - I've had people complain that their computer wasn't working when their monitor simply wasn't plugged in, so I have to ask:

Have you checked Safari's preferences to make sure the auto-fill settings are as you expect/desire?

Yes everything is checked as it should be. Been using Macs since '86.

Try resetting Safari, but if that doesn't work, go to ~/Library/Application Support and delete the Safari folder. That should solve your problem.

In my Application Support Folder, there is no "Safari folder" ...so I can't delete it. I have tried a reset and have trashed the preferences. No luck.

There is another discussion and I think your issue may be the same as the one being discussed there (Linc is in that discussion too). It's under the Mac OS & System Software heading, then under Safari, and the reference/question is "Passwords not saving in Safari / Keychain." We're thinking it might be related either to the Safari 5.1.5 update OR to switching to iCloud. Did you by any chance do either of those things just before this problem started? If so, which one? I'm talking to AppleCare about it, and the more information I can give them, the better. You can get more information if you check out that other discussion.
