On The Mac Attack's 5th Anniversary show I answer questions that were tweeted to me. This show was also recorded in front of a live uStream audience so the format is a little different the usual.

If there is a specific Mac Tech topic you would like me to discuss on a future episode send me a tweet at tmasteve.

Please write a review on iTunes

Visit the show web site at themacattack.tv for show notes and links to the software, hardware, and products mentioned during the podcast.

Thanks for all of the anniversary wishes!

Mac Power Users Mail shows (part 1, part 2)

Undoing a "never for this website" accidental selection for auto fill in Safari.

open Keychain Access (in the Utilities folder), then look in the login keychain and find the site you tried to visit. Somewhere in the list, you'll see an entry that reads

www.website.com (Passwords not saved) in this example

Delete that item from the login keychain, restart Safari, and Safari will prompt you to save usernames and passwords when logging in to that site. 

Thanks again for listening to the show. Talk to you soon!
