IPhone won't let me log onto any site which requires a username and password

Hi there,
My iphone 4 (ios5) has stopped letting me log onto any website which requires a username and password. They have all worked in the past but have stopped working. My iPad is fine.
It happens if i am connected to wifi or 3g.
Has anyone else suffered this?
I have restarted the phone and done a backup and restore.
Any advice would help.
Thanks

Sorted it.  In settings - safari - privacy was set not to accept any cookies.  I have changed that to accept from visited.  Now working ok again.

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

  • Itunes on iphone won't let me log in with correct password

    I have been all over the forums trying every options I have found. But when I go to update my apps my iphone/itunes asks for my password again. I have double and triple checked my password and it is correct. It is logging me in to my cloud, to the apple website etc. I am not typing it in wrong, believe me I have checked that as well. I have gone and reset the cache and reset the warnings in itunes. I have updated the software. I have made sure my icloud password is retyped in. What else can I do? I don't know what to try. I have reset the password and it still won't let me log in with the new, correct password. This has been going on for the past 3 months and nothing.

    Yes, it is showing my apple id. And no, I don't have any other apple id's. I have gone into my settings into iTunes and App Store and signed out and signed back in in the apple id section. It connects no problem in my settings. But when I'm actually in the app store "App" and it prompts me for my password it comes back saying that the apple id and or password is incorrect.

  • Won't let me log into any websites

    Dear sir/madam,
    I'm a new member of firefox as I decided to give up with google's terrible cutomer service but I have tried several times to log into websites such as twitter, google, tumblr and many others however none of them are actually logging in. I can confirm all the usernames and passwords are correct however everytime I type them in it just goes back to the homepage of the sites but not with me logged in.
    I tried to reset the passwords to see if that help but still no progress, what should I do?
    Kind regards,
    Nikita

    Details like websites remembering you (log you in automatically) are stored in a cookie.
    *Create a cookie 'allow' exception to keep such cookies, especially in case of secure websites and when cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
    If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
    *Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Logged in thru facebook now cant set username and password for PS3

    I'm not sure about the status of that bug in 2.2.5, but it has been
    resolved in our internal 2.3 builds.
    I think that you can work around this problem by enumerating your
    persistent types in system.prefs instead of in the data store. See our
    documentation for more information on how to do this.
    Basically, if I recall correctly, the problem is when retrieving the
    list, but not when connecting to the data store for other purposes.

    followed the instructions that you wrote in Feb 12 2002 post. But it still
    has the error that exactly like Bug #76. When we leave the user name and
    password out of system.prefs, we get the error.
    Is this bug(#76) fixed for 2.2.5? And how can we work around it?--

  • I am connected to my usual wifi and when I try to go onto any apps which require internet connection, it says I have no internet connection yet I am connected to wifi, how do I resolve this?

    I am connected to my usual wifi and when I try to go onto any app's which require Internet connection, it says I have no Internet connection yet I am connected to wifi, how do I resolve this?I have had this problem for about a week.
    Any responses are appriciated

    You posted in the iPad forum, but you profile lists an iPhone 4S. Does your iPhone or iPad have this problem.
    Here's some iPad suggestions. Most also apply to the iPhone. Your iPhone or iPad may show the wifi symbol but that only shows the presence of a wifi signal. Not that you are connected.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Can't log in on application (PC - Win7) - correct username and password; works on the web page

    I have a big problem. I cannot log in on the Skype application on my PC (Win 7). The password is correct and so is the user name. I've tried logging in via both my microsoft, skype and facebook accounts but it doesn't work. The strange thing is that it works in the internet page. I've tried to change password many times but it doesn't resovle the issue. When logging in with the Skype account I'll get the message "Could not connect" (In Swedish).When logging in with the Facebook and Microsoft account I'll get the message "Sorry, we don't know your loggin information - Please controll your Skype-name and password". The Skype application say it is up to date when using the function "Search for updates" in the "Help" drop down list.

     I've got the same problem. The same on one PC I've got 6.11 version ... and uninstall/download & install reseled the problem BUT, on anoter PC I have 6.20 version, and that one did not sigh me up, untill I have clicked recovery/get email/clicked on received link.  - That is strange and annoing, but, even more unfear and discusting: - The version 6.20 also replays 'You have latest version'!  And on skype site it is not shown up the current version, which is today 6.21.59.104  My opinions: 1: it is inappropriate to disallow old version to see the newest version number                      2: the same even with more reasonability applied to 'still suppoted version', as 6.20 I guess is for today!                      3: What is it the way to restrict access to user account WITHOUT any explanation why!!! - it must say 'it is old version and we closed acces to our site; update to current, which is ....'(if Skype comunity have trouble to prepare a page with such message as a redirection for not-up-to-day version I could help; or my children could ... or it is an issue to place it ?!)

    Hello there, Gwald.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Specific to iPad are the following:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Recently, any attempt to log on to any site with my valid userid and password fails with FireFox but passes with Internet Explorer. What could possibly cause this?

    I used FireFox a long time for email and other scure sites. Out of the blue my logins started rejecting. In frustration, I went back to Internet Explorer and found I could log in using the same UID and PWD.
    I cain't imagine what setting could be causing this to happen. Have you ever heard of such a thing? And is there a solution?

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that,.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
    See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

  • I cannot log onto Adobe site

    My safari won't let me log onto Adobe site. Any body know why this would only happen with this site? I tried to reinstall operating system but it hung up. I suppose I'll have to use Chrome to get to site. I've tried everything, to clear Safari Cookies, etc. reset Safari,

    You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to block certain servers, perhaps unknowingly. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

    Sync your iPhone to iTunes to copy the iTunes purchases to the computer.

    Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases then click the Cloud icon after the song names to download them.
