Accessing Hotmail with Safari from button in MSN Messenger.

I have just bought a new iBook and have installed MSN messenger on it which I use a lot. However, sometimes when I click the link to get to my Hotmail inbox, Safari opens but keeps repeating accessing the same links that always appear as you enter your inbox and goes round and round in circles, never getting to my Hotmail, with the screen staying blank.
I know there is no issue with my personal Hotmail account as if I then open Internet Explorer I can access my hotmail. It's a really weird problem which I never experienced on my old iMac.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much.

I) Go to Hotmail, Messenger, My MSN
I delete all cookies after, signing out, so I start with none, before signing in it is possible this helps to avoid the circle of errors some get. In Safari 1 use to have to enable cookies to Always to sign out of Hotmail.
2) click on the one which best describes your account for example My MSN
for me ( this is a free Passport hotmail account )
3) Log in to My MSN/ Messenger or Hotmail , I have to log in again to get to hotmail, after logging into My MSN.
4) Or you can click Windows Live ID just under "Sign in using enhanced security" you can choose to: "Use the Passport Network to sign in to MSN Messenger, MSN Hotmail, MSN Music, and other sites and services! The Passport Network works with Windows Live ID. It's free to access the Passport Network. After you sign up and create credentials, you can sign in on any site that displays Microsoft Passport Network or Windows Live ID". I have not done this, so i do not know how it works.
Logging in has change at least 3 times in the last two weeks, still I have been able to log in & using Safari. Hope this helps. please let me know since this has been an on going issue for many users. I have posted to this somewhat & I would like to know if it works. Thx.

Certificate authentication problem, accessing hotmail through safari

When trying to access hotmail on my Mac I keep getting a invalid security certificate. eg: The certificate for accessing blu169.mail.live.com is not valid etc.... When I click on expand the certificate looks ok (it is mail.live.com signed by Verisign).
I have checked the date and time are both correct and is set to auto. I have cleared cache and cookies with no change. It is isolated to the Mac, as I can still access the account from my iphone. It affects multiple accounts, as I cannot access using an alternate email address either.

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
          Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
Open the View menu in the menu bar. If one of the items in the menu is
          Show Expired Certificates
select it. Otherwise it will show
          Hide Expired Certificates
which is what you want.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu labeled
          Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
select
          no value specified
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings.
Now open the same inspection window again, and select
          When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Save the change in the same way as before.
Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
          Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 7
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in 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 by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. 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
If that's not what you see, post the contents of the window.

Ftp access works with Safari but not with Netscape or Explorer

The problem I am trying to solve is that my ftp service works correctly with Safari but gives an error message when the ftp service is access via Netscape or Explorer. Error message is "530 Guest login disabled". These two web browsers will not display a login screen for access by real users; Safari provides the login screen. The server is restricted to real users only

Check the proxy settings of the programs that are not working.
Check your firewall settings as well but I do not think that is it.

How can I do video chat with my PC friends on MSN messenger?

Well I posted this in the iChat area, but theres almost no traffic there, hoping for a better response here
I just got my iMac today and was hoping to do some video chats with family members. I can't figure out how to video chat with them since MSN messenger is not Mac compatable. Does anyone know of a program I can use on my Mac to video chat with MSN messenger users?
*I was able to use aMSN for video, but there was NO sound so that basically defeated the purpose...

Hi
Have just replied to your iChat post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4577049#4577049 where I've posted a link to Mercury Messenger, that might work.

Problems Accessing Website with Safari 4.1

We have a person that cannot access www.fowa.org using Safari 4.1 using Mac OSX 10.4.11 - any access problems we need to know about? Access is no problem on multiple other versions of Safari, Firefox, MACS and PCS. Cannot replicate the problem.
- thanks in advance

HI,
Try this. From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies Delete all cookies associated to that site. Click the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Delete .fowa.org
Relaunch Safari. Navigate to that site and see if that helped. If not...
Quit Safari. Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the fowa.org keychain. Relaunch Safari. Navigate to the fowa.org site. Login with the user name and password as usual. Click Yes, when prompted.

Help! Can't use Hotmail with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6)

Hello,
I'm using a 2003 Mirrored Drive Doors Pwer Man G4 operating on Mac OS X (10.3.9). To get online, I use Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6).
The problem is that I can't send nor read any emails from my hotmail account, and my computer doesn't support my Yahoo account.
I've tried installing Firefox, but for some reason, clicking on the Firefox icon to start the program does absolutely nothing.
Anybody got any ideas how I can use email without having have to drive to my mother's everyday?
Thank you very much in advance.

There may be a current or more recent version of Opera browser
which may be supported in Panther 10.3.9; few new browsers are
available for the older OS X versions. And your older Safari is not
a practical tool, since most protocols and security concerns have
passed that older one by. You may have to read some of the sites
where official downloads come from, for specific support info.
You may be able to get a Mac version of Firefox 2.0.0.16 or so,
from here: http://mac.oldapps.com/firefox.php
If ones you try don't work, note the vintage of OS X you are using.
The older browsers are no longer seeing security updates, btw.
So, there may be some risks associated with older products.
Camino 1.6.x browser appears to support use in 10.3.9 & Later:
http://caminobrowser.org/ - not sure what your hotmail needs are.
There is GMail for email, for free. It works well enough.
Good luck & happy computing!

Hotmail with Safari. I have an error "This file couldn't be added because it appears to be empty (0 bytes)".

I use Safari with OS Lion. When I try to attach edited photo in Hotmail I have an error "This file couldn't be added because it appears to be empty (0 bytes)". The same file can be successfully sent from PC with Internet Explorer. How to solve this problem?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.

Cannot access hotmail in Safari mail

I access my hotmail emails in safari, but, now safari won't let me. I get different messages in safari depending on what i tamper with in it. I can get safari to accept in and outgoing mail servers, but not at the same time. The message constantly tells me that I need to verify my password, but when I enter it, I am told to do it again, therefore, presumably wrong. Can i change it? but this won't solve the problem of the server. At wits end. Windows looks a good option. Please help.
I use Mavericks. OS X 10.9.4. Macbook pro mid 2010

Try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Outgoing Mail Server/Edit SMTP Server List and set up a separate server for each account. That should fix the SMTP problem.

Help, can't access Hotmail on Safari, can't upgrade it either

Is my Mac too old?
I have a Max OS X version 10.5.8
Hotmail isn't working in Safari, I can't upgrade Firefox either.
I'm not sure how to upgrade my machine to get it to work properly or is it a lost cause?
thanks, simple answers appreciated, you can probably tell I'm not very technical!

Help - I transferred my entire 23,000 photo library from iPhoto 06 on a G4/Tiger to a 2009 Mac Pro running the current version of iPhoto. I used firewire with the G4 in target disk mode and manually transferred the files over. Seem to have transferred most of the photos well (though I need to investigate a number of photos in a new "Recovered" folder).
How did you do this? the porper way is to drag the iPhoto library as a single entity from the G4 to the MBP then launch iPhoto on the MBP
Now, on launching iPhoto 06 on the G4 I am told I somehow made changes to the photo library using the newer version of iPhoto.
Did you? if you dragged the library to the pictures folder of the new computer and launched iPhoto then you did not change your original library
Am I screwed (b/c the latest version of iPhoto requires Leopard, which won't run on my ancient G4)? How can I recover the ability to use iPhoto 2006 on the G4?
That depends on what happened - nothing you described would have modified your original library - is there more to tell?
You can try rebuilding the iPhoto 6 library using iPhoto library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - it will create a totally new library so if it does not work you lose nothing

Cannot open hotmail with safari

When I try to open outlook in safari only ablank page comes up.
I have no issues with Firefox or other browsers

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Youtube content suddenly not available for last 2 days. Everything else on gen 2 is fine. I can access Youtube with AirPlay from Ipad.

I have been able to access Youtubes, my favorites, my own Youtube videos and playlists without a problem until 3 days ago. I can play Youtube from my Ipad and use Air Play but eould prefer to access directly as I do Netflix, podcasts, etc. When I select Youtube it just churns but never opens. Any thoughts? I have done the upgrade and it worked fine after that as I recall.

Read a bunch of posts from 2008 and 2010. The only step I found that I hadn't tried was the ol' plug pull. After that, I got the first movie I tried renting. ??? At least it works now.

Hi,
Please download a sample media to test whether your DRM system works correctly on your computer first.

If the DRM system works properly, I think your issue may be caused by the original Digital Protected Info change at the MSN music.
I suggest you contact MSN Music Support for better help.
