Can't login to Yahoo mail with Safari

Hi,
I'm using a Macbook (13", 2.4 Ghz) running OS 10.6.8.  I'm using Safari 5.1.2.  I am unable to login to my Yahoo mail account with Safari (works fine using Firefox).  Specifically, when I enter my login name and password, then hit <enter>, nothing happens.  The cursor sits there blinking next to the bullets in the password field.  If I click on the "sign in" button, again, nothing happens.  The password field becomes unselected, but that's it.  I've tried various remedies suggested in the forums:  delete keychains, delete cookies, reset Safari.  Nothing has worked.  Is anyone else having this problem?

Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the:   Safari Forms Autofill keychain  You can use the search field top right corner of the window to find that keychain.
Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari > Preferences - Autofill
Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Try accessing your Yahoo account.
BTW, there's a way to access your Yahoo account without having to use web based mail via a browser.
Launch Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Under Accounts on the left click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password;  click Continue
Once your account is setup with Mac Mail, you just click the Mail icon in your Dock. You'll see a small red badge for unread mail there also.
This way you don't have to use a browser (dealing with cookies and caches) to access your Yahoo mail account.

  • Why can't I open yahoo mail with safari?

    As of July 29 I can no longer open Yahoo mail in Safari.  It keeps asking for user name and password, but when I enter it the same screen keeps coming up.

    Clear Safari, then close it completely and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Now close Safari. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari

    Recently began having trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari.  I am continually asked to upgrade my Safari to a newer edition; however, when I do a software upgrade check it tells me I have the latest edition.  Anyone else having this trouble?

    Your OS is way out of date and thus your version of Safari and Firefox are too. It would be wise to update Tiger using the combo update found here:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
    Then you can further update Safari to it's current version using Softwareupdate from the Apple menu.
    You can also use Firefox Help menu to update to it's current version.
    To be safe run Disk Utility's repair disk function from your original install disk and repair permissions before and after the update from your boot disk.
    Good Luck,

  • Can't sign in yahoo mail via safari after upgraded to iOS6

    After upgraded to iOS6, I was able to sign in yahoo mail via safari only the first time but after that could not.  Every time when I tried to sign in yahoo mail, it returned to sign in page.  I have had the same problem with other upgraded iphones, but not iphone with iOS 5. 
    But if I clear history and cookies in the safari setting, I can sign in yahoo mail only once.  Every time when I want to sign in yahoo mail, I have to go to the safari setting and clear history and cookies.  I have no problem with gmail and hotmail.

  • Accessing Yahoo mail with Safari

    I cannot access my Yahoo mail acct. through Safari.  I can do it with Firefox, but don't like the changes in Firefox. Prefer Safari. I get the panic kernal as soon as I getto Yahoo mail. No problem with other sites. Any ideas?

    Your sparse bundle is likely toast, but this is worth a read:  http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/fixfilevault.html
    the sparsebundle shows a folder Bands (containing plain text files of 8MB each), and 3 files - info.plist, info.bckup and Token.
    Yes, that's how sparse bundles are constructed.  There may be many thousands of the "bands."  That's where the encrypted data is.  The advantage is, only the changed bands need to be backed-up. 

  • Can not sign into yahoo mail with Mozzilla

    Prior to installing Mozzilla I was able to sign onto Yahoo Mail. Now, when I try to log in, I hit the sign in and nothing happens. If I use IE, then it works fine. I have tried clearing the cookies and cache and still nothing happens

    I assume you are using a login page similar to this one:
    https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym
    Can you tell whether scripts are working on the page? For example, leave the username blank and click Sign In. You should get an error message above the box without the page reloading.

  • Can't login to any websites with safari?

    Hi, I have a prblem, that I can not login anymore to any websites (such as facebook, apple, yahoo ...) using Safari version 5.1.9, how I could solve this problem, because when you are trying to login it just reloads and asks again to type the username and pasword.

    Are you using a third party password manager?
    And try this ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Can't login to user discussion with Safari

    Hi, everytime I try to login to the discussion forum I enter my ID and a window appears asking me for my desired alias, location, etc.
    Only in Safari!! With Firefox everything is OK.
    When I try to enter the Alias and other Info in Safari it always give me the same error: "Choose a different name"
    Weird...
    Any ideas?
    Many Thanks

    Hi, I tried everything you said, and the nothing changed. Even on my iMac I get the same problem.
    I even deleted passwords from KeyChain...
    Only Firefox will do!
    It's a very weird thing.
    Any other tip?
    Many Thanks

  • I cannot login to Yahoo mail on my Mac with firefox, but I can with Safari.

    I am running Firefox 3.6 on Mac. I have had no problems until yesterday when it stopped allowing me to login to Yahoo mail. I can login using Safari on the same laptop, so I know there is no problem with my mail account or computer. When I look at the error message it says it looked for "*" but could not find it. How do I get "*" and if I do will that fix the problem?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Yesterday

    This may also be a problem specific to Firefox 26 + Mavericks.

  • When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

    When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

    With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private  Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field.  The screen that  opens up has your bookmarks on it.  In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'.  Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off.  Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work.  This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS. 

  • Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
    Many thanks

    I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
    BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
    For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
    I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.
