Apple Support Communities page not opening

My Apple > Support > Communities page is not opening in Safari.
When I try to connect to the site I get *"ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND"* by *Host Gator*.
I have tried these steps:
1) Removed Safari (Including Safari preferences files and Safari Folder in the Library folder)
2) Restarted my laptop.
3) And re-installed Safari.
But still i was unsuccessful in getting the page.
Finally I went to Firefox and wrote the message you are reading.
Please help me solve the problem
And also please tell me whether the design of a web page is different in two different browsers (Eg. Safari and Firefox) because I found so in the Apple > Support page.

The problem I am getting is that when I am clicking on the Communities link on
http://www.apple.com/support/ link the browser is connecting me to http://discussions.apple.com/ instead of http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa page
Why is it so?
Because discussions.apple.com is the actual web address; index.jspa is just the index page at that address, which should be added automatically. Are you saying it's not being added, and therefore you don't see the list of forums?

I signed up for Apple ID and Apple Support Communities separately. Can I merge the two accounts?

I signed up for an "Apple ID" and an "Apple Support Communities username" separately using the same e-mail address. Is there any way to merge the two accounts?
I signed up for "Apple Support Communities" several years ago to get help with Apple products. I then signed up for an "Apple ID" later on to buy stuff at the iTunes Store.
I was trying to access "Apple Support Communities" using my Apple ID and I get prompted to choose a username. But when I type my current username, it says the username is already taken. Alternatively, if I try to choose a new username to go along with my Apple ID, I get a message saying that there is a username already assigned to my e-mail address.
For some reason, "Apple Support Communities" is not intuitively syncing the two accounts together despite the fact that they are linked to the same e-mail address.
I don't want to cancel either of these accounts since I have activities using one/the other that I do want to preserve.
Can anyone help me merge these two accounts together?
Thanks.

I will do it for you. I can't say they will take any action, they operate in their own way, but if they feel there may be a threat to your security they will normally take it seriously. My guess is they would eMail their actions to you, though not to me of course.
I hope this will help.
Okay; I've now reported the thread.

Deleting discussions on my Apple Support Communities

How do I delete the discussions I made before,on this Apple Support Communities page?

You can't delete any post you have made on these discussions. You would need to request this with apple hosts, go to this this discussion group and request a host to delete any post you have made.

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

Do not want to receive e-mails from Apple Support Communities

Do not want to receive e-mails from Apple Support Communities
Please help me

I have this bookmarked as well from another post that gives detailed instructions on how to stop the emails. From here down is a copy and paste from that discussion ....
Actually there are three places to look
Anyway first click on your name to get to your homepage/profile. At the top there are three tabs one of which is Notifications, that's number one,. Next look at the right side of the page at the boxActions in there click Manage Email Notifications. Finally click Edit Preferences in the action box and click on Email Notification Preferences
I think that covers it all.

Apple Support KB pages open to a white window in Safari, Yosemite

Cannot view Apple Support KB pages in Safari 8.0 under Yosemite. The URL loads, but displays only a blank white page. Same URL displays fine in Firefox.

I see that, too. I have not seen that before. Not sure why that occurs as it does not occur on all KB articles. I will report it as should you - Bug Reporting - Apple Developer.

The apple support downloads page is not working

i need to update my mac mini, but the apple support downloads page never loads.

You've tried Software Update, or it doesn't update what you want? So you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and it doesn't load in your browser? Which brwoser are you using, and have you tried it with another browser? Firefox, Chrome, Opera ? Did you reset your browser, empty the cache, cookies, etc?

Apple Support Communities permalinks fail when logged in (work only whilst signed out)

Example
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15351904#15351904 should present a reply by Elizabeth Vetter on the third page of a discussion.
Bug: the link presents the opening post at the top of first page.
Only if I sign out does the permalink present the required post.
My current preference is flat discussion, threaded comments.
I searched for other discussions of problems with permalinks, found none … am I alone?

If I prefer threaded discussion,

If threaded is a partial workaround, it is not ideal. I rarely prefer threaded.
Side note
The narrowness of threaded (more generally, the narrow non-elastic design of Apple Support Communities at this time) makes it unnecessary difficult to work with plain text, as is used when pasting code.

Over the last few days viewing Apple Support Communities with Safari has problems

Each day at times when you try to move from a top level category in Apple Support Communities to the next level down (Example: iPhone>Using iPhone) that link is broken and a blank page appears. If I move to Chrome the same linkage works. I looked an could not find an appropriate place within the Apple Support Communities to raise this issue. I Guess Safari as as good a place as any in that the issue appears to be regularly related to the Community and Safari.

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions, issue ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

How to Prevent Apple Support Communities from Sending Me Emails?

Hi,
How I can I prevent the Apple Support Communities website / tool from sending me emails?
I have disabled all emails in my profile settings (since about six months):
Still, Apple Support Communities keep sending me emails in increasing frequency:
(It is the same account / username / email, I have triple checked that.)
What options other than marking Apple as as spammer do I have left?
Cheers

Hi,
Thank you – that (hopefully) resolves the issue!
Note, that I came to Edit Preferences not through my Profile, but through the link in the "update emails" itself.
The link in the emails (see screeshot) reads: You are receiving this email from Apple Support Communities. You can change your email preferences in your Apple Support Communities Profile.
And the link leads to the "Edit Preferences" page (the "Manage Email Notifications" page is not visible / linked from "Edit Preferences")
According to common "unsubscribe" practices in emails, I would expect that an "unsubscribe"-type of link leads me to a page where I can unsubscribe from the type of email I just received (and not unsusbcribe from 'additional potential future' emails or whatever you would call it in that case).
Hence, this "unsubscribe" link in the email should either go to the Profile page, or the Manage Email Notifications (where I can actualy unsusbcribe), NOT to Edit Preferences.
Hope, someone from Apple reads the above...
( Personally, I think the idea to split between past and future threads is a bad design in the first place )

Is it possible to completely delete your Apple Support Communities account?

Hello everybody,
As the title states.

It seems that complete deletion is impossible, but the next best thing would be to clear out your personal information, if that was your concern:
1. Remove devices and other personal information from your Apple Support Community profile. This would be accomplished by editing your profile and privacy settings (e.g make the privacy settings as strict as possible).
2. You'll notice your name and email address are not editable via the Apple Support Communities profile page. However, you can edit your name and email address used by Apple Support Communities from your Apple ID https://appleid.apple.com/
To change these, login and click on the "Manage your Apple ID" and you will be able to change them via the "Name, ID and Emaill Addresss" link in the menu on the left. However, please note that any changes to your Apple ID affect your main Apple account (iTunes, iCloud, Apple Online Store, etc.)

Apple Support Communities Login Broken?!?

There we go again....
I'm not sure I'll be able to explain what is happening, so I made a screen recording (unlisted): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62yUDXJoPBc
Basically I can browse the discussions here as a guest with no problem, but as soon as I login (when I need to post a question for example) I get redirected to an error page. It happens on all browsers I have (Safari, Firefox, Chrome) and the only way around it is either wait till my session expires (and I'm "logged off") or delete all apple.com cookies/cache. Strangely, it only happens with my US apple ID. While the one I'm currently logged in as (my Bulgarian ID) has no problems... and thank God I have 2 IDs, otherwise I wouldn't be able to post here and get help (frustrating).
Any idea what is causing this?
Would you be so kind to may be consider helping me?
P.S.
- Fine. No rants. I'll send you some constructive feedback over the weekend when I'm less affected. Hopefully I won't be using too many curses.
- Just out of curiosity, if I have a login problem, which will obviouslly prevent me from posting here, how do I contact support, considering we don't have phone or e-mail Apple support available in Bulgaria?

Ok... The problem is not with a device, it is with the apple support communities web site and my apple ID in particular... Thus, I post to the "Using the apple support communities" part of the forum, which I find as "proper" as it could possibly be.
Or am I wrong?
