Can anyone help me program this MacBook Air for AUTOFILL?

[Smarmie Doofus]

Got this gizmo about three months ago. AUTOFILL default setting is just first and last name. I have to manually enter everything else.

I had this problem w. my old laptop too. The solution was pretty simple but I'll be damned if I remember what it was.


Much obliged.

1. Are you referring to this?

If AutoFill won’t work
Safari can automatically fill in forms, user names, and passwords for you. If this feature isn’t working, here are some things to try.

Make sure AutoFill is turned on

Open Safari if it is not already open.
Open Safari
Choose Safari > Preferences, and then click AutoFill.
Select “Using info from my Address Book card” and “Other forms.”

4. Thanks. I'm not seeing this option anywhere:

>>>“Using info from my Address Book card” and “Other forms.”>>>>

Everything is checked that can be checked but the above doesn't appear on screen as an option.

Edit: I see "other forms" .... but no "address book."

2. Make sure all the info is filled in the address book

If you don't put your address and phone on your card in the address book, it won't autofill.

3. Thanks. How do I get to "the address book"?

5. It's called "contacts" with the newer systems

You should be able to find it in your launch bar, usually at the bottom of the page, unless you have specified that it be at one side or the other.

If you can't find it there do a search and it should pop up in your applications folder.
