Cannot log in to Apple discussion forum

Hello,
I can't log in to apple discussion forum with safari on my MacBook Pro. With my iPod touch I haven't any problems. Why is that so? What can I do?
have you got a solution for me??
PS: I am from germany, so please excuse bad English.
Thanks

What should i do there
As mentioned above:
"If you do have any \[accented characters in your name\], change them to unaccented characters in the email section here: http://myinfo.apple.com "
The problem is connected to your first and last name associated with your AppleID, not the forum as such. In the 'email' section at the linked page you can change those.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums. I need to log on with Firefox to wright this massage.
Do you guys have any clue why I can't log on with Safari?
My current version of Safari is 5.0.3

Good advice, Dixmaxim.
If you still have problems after getting rid of the cookies,
check back to see if your real name or password has any accented letters,
like ø, etc. If so, replace with un-accented letters. Just a thought.
This has been happening for several years now, and it is very embarrassing.
I would have thought it would be fixed by now.

Unable to Log out in Apple discussions

When I try to log out in Apple Discussions, I get an error message saying cannot find page. I have to shut down Safari to logout. I haven't had any problems before. I did have to change my Apple ID to be able to use my new iPod Touch recently so would that have made a difference, or is it something Apple Discussions has been experiencing lately?

I have also had some intermittent flakey behavior the past few days but have attributed it to using a Windows Vista machine a few times instead of the Apple equipment
Seriously, the problems I have seen have been more along the lines of not being able to just back up from the second page in a forum to the first page. Have to manually hit page 1 to get back. A few times, backing up has taken me to the login page...hit the back arrow again and revert to the master list. Just a little flakey lately and inconsistent.
Nothing disasterous, though, so I have just been living with it...may be due to very high usage, when the MBA was announced the system seemed to come to its knees...just way too many people logged in is my guess.

Since 5.1.5 I cannot post images in Apple discussions

I often post to a few Apple discussion forums.
Often, to help others, a picture (more than likely to be a screenshot) is worth a thousand words.
Since installing Safari 5.1.5, the dialog to insert a picture - in a post such as this - does not work anymore.
Am I alone in this? Any solutions?
I would appreciate if people let me know if it is working or not. If it is a bug, and not just a glitch in my mac, I plan to let Apple know.
I figure it should have come up by now, so maybe it is just me... I have had to use Firefox just for this kind of thing.

Hi Luis ...
I have the same thing happen and the cache is usually the culprit.
Try emptying the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
For Lion v10.7x: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

I'm trying to update my iPhone apps but cannot log into my apple account from my phone!!!

Why can't I log into my Apple account from my iPhone? My phone shows two apps needing updates and I've tried five times to log in. I KNOW I'm using the right password and username, and can log in via computer just fine, but cannot log in to update my apps! What's going on???

It appears that the iTunes store is down right now.

Stop Apple Discussion Forum Messages

I cannot turn - off the hundreds of emails I keep getting from the Apple User forums even though my profile shows "no subscriptions". And the following instructions to not work as there is no delete button
How do I unsubscribe from a forum, topic, or other item?
If you no longer want to receive notifications for, say, a particular topic, click "Cancel Subscription to this Topic" at the top of a subscribed topic page to end the email notifications. After 30 days, inactive subscriptions automatically expire.
++You can also delete subscriptions from your My Subscriptions page; click My Subscriptions in the sidebar and in the resulting page, select the Delete checkbox for any subscription you no longer want and then click Delete.++
The above does not work.

This indicates that you have another Discussions account, and the subscriptions you are receiving were set up in that account.
If you're not sure what the login is for your other account, try this: go to this page. Try typing in your .Mac address to see if that's the Apple ID of your other account. If that isn't successful, click on the "Forget your Apple ID?" link. Enter your name and your .Mac email address and see if that gets you the information for the other account.

"Connection reset" when trying to access Apple Discussion Forums

I am unable to log onto the discussion forums from my iBook since changing my ISP to a satellite Broadband service (Bordernet) in Australia. When I attempt to do so I get a message in my browser "The Connection was reset while page was loading."
I can access the site without problems from a PC on the same LAN without any difficulties - hence my ability to post this message.
Have also had some intermittent diffiulty in sending emails with (small) attachments (250-400k).
The ISP help desk suggested I reset the timeout in the Outlook Email program on the Windows machine to maximum. Did that, no change with the iBook.
Doesn't seem to be a issue of the Apple.com servers being overloaded, as I can fail to manage a log on with the iBook and easily do so with the Windows machine within seconds of switching machines.
I've also checked that passwords and logon name are the same on both machines.
Have tried connecting the satellite modem directly to the iBook as well as through the router (a D-Link 704-P) and the speeds are consistent -- so close to the same that they virtually identical.
Don't have any firewalls set on the iBook or through the router software, only on the Windows machine, and it is the one that works!
Have set up the proxies and port settings suggested by the ISP (10.16.143.73:9877) which result in a general speed increase earlier on, but did not solve this problem.
The people at the ISP haven't come up with an answer yet.
Is there a way to set the timeout on an ibook? (Altough I suspect that this is a red herring as I'm not so sure that settings in an email program will effect other internet settings as well...
Could there be other settings on the iBook that may be slowing things up enough to make this happen?
Any ideas?

I'm going to assume you meant... "NsurlerrorDomain: -1005".
Is it a Linksys Modem?
By the way... NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost
Returned when a client or server connection is severed in the middle of an in-progress load.
Available in Mac OS X v10.3 and later.
Sooo, while it may be something as weird as Satellite alignment/interference, I've read that trashing the whole Users/nnn/Preferences Folder fixid it, but maybe installing Applejack...
http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
Once installed, reboot, hold down the CMD+s keys, when the prompt shows, type in "applejack auto", (without the quotes), and let it run all 5 things in the series... thinking maybe a .cache is being held over from your previous setup!?
Anyway, once you really need Applejack, you can't install it or download it! :_)
Waiting to see if we get anywhere with this tact.
Oh yeah, that plist will be regenerated on a restart.

Login issue in Apple Discussion Forum - Safari Only

I can no longer log into my Discussions Forum account using Safari (3.1.2). When I log in I am taken to the Create New User page, where I get stuck in a loop. I can log into my account just fine using Firefox 3, which is what I'm using to write this.
Please do not offer generic suggestions if you are not familiar with this specific issue. I don't want to hear advice about clearing my cache and cookies, etc. This issue has been reported several times in these forums and nobody has offered a viable solution.

Hi Walter
Forum software is not very multi-user friendly, nor (for sanity sake) encouraged. As you've discovered, switching from one user account to another requires deleting forum related cookies before logging in.
Curious why you have more than one user account?

Apple Discussion Forums - IE works when Safari doesn't

I've been browsing around here and discovered that this sort of thing - that is, these forums not loading in Safari - has already been mentioned a few times. However, it usually seems to get put down to the server being down or the like; what I haven't seen anybody mention is what I experience on my computer, which is that while Safari completely refuses to load these forums ("Safari can’t open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c149&search=Go&q=avi”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)") Internet Explorer handles them fine. I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that almost the only site I ever need to resort to IE for is the Apple Support Forums!
I have tried clearing Safari's cache, as is suggested when I click on the question mark at the bottom of the error message, but that does nothing. I understand that there are sometimes times of the day when the forums have issues, but given that IE (of all things!) handles them fine at the same time, on the same computer, I'm sure that's not the problem.
I did consider posting this in the Safari category, but I've come to the conclusion that it must the forums that are at fault.
Well, whatever the problem is, the irony is killing me!
iMac G5 (Power PC) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

At times, removing the Apple cookies and restarting Safari is one way to resolve the "slowness" issue. I agree, this situation is very ironic.

Apple discussion forums

How do I close my Forum account on on Apple discussions?
Reason why, is I'm I'm fed up with the 'new' look, and I'm constantly getting spammed by the forum... Even though I don't have any notifications set.
Also, I suspect some milieus activity napping as well..
Is there a way to close my account? Otherwise, i'll change me email and update it, where it matters.

It doesn't make a bit of difference how defiant you are — there still won't be any way to close your ASC account. Your username (alias) and your posts will remain. The forums have no feature enabling you to remove them. If you stop using your forum login and someone else continues to do so, posting while pretending to be you, or if charges show up in your iTunes or App Store accounts for things you didn't purchase, then you will know that someone has gotten access to your Apple ID and Apple will take appropriate action to stop them. Meanwhile, you are free to create a new Apple ID at any time and use it instead of the old one, if you have other uses you wish to make of it, such as using the iTunes Store or App Store. Your old Apple ID will remain on the books. It can't be removed. You can change its password at any time, even if you have no intention of using it.

Apple Discussion Forums: an important tech support resource

There have been ongoing discussions within Apple regarding whether or not to continue supporting these discussion forums, specifically, the issue of continuing to employ live humans to monitor and moderate them. It seems to me that it would not be a significant drain on Apple Computer Inc.'s resources to employ 1-2 persons to comb this (very large) discussions site for significant unresolved issues having broad relevance to the Mac user community. Said issues could then be routed either to a small, forums-dedicated team of Apple engineers, or distributed to the larger second-tier support group such that each tech rep would only have to handle a few responses per week (or month, depending on the size of the available employee pool). The net benefits to Apple -- in terms of reduced number of tech support calls, a more-empowered, self-sufficient, and satisfied user base, and increased goodwill toward the company -- would, in my estimation, more than repay the salaries and efforts required to keep these discussion forums running efficiently and effectively. I believe Apple is savvy enough and responsible enough to know this; they have probably done the calculus. Perhaps, then, our most important task is to let the parent firm know that we use and value this resource. Hopefully, Apple managers will note and make the right decisions.

Auto-logging in to Apple Discussions

Is it possible to auto-login to Apple Discussions?
Each time I close my browser I always have to enter my password.
THANKS

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab.
Select the box next to: *User names and passwords*
Logout of AD, log back in. Enter your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain in Keychain Access where your passwords are stored.
The next time you login to AD, you shouldn't have to enter your login information.

Cannot log out of Apple Store

There doesn't seem to be an Apple Store discussions section, so given that it relates to my iPhone 4 order, I'll post here!
The following kb article explains that to protect your Apple ID you should log out when you finish:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4232
However, there appears to be no way to do this after logging into the Apple online store.

I wasn't able to find anyway to log out as well. I also search to internet and found people having the same problem. I'm using safari. I closed safari and cleared cookies. When I navigated back to store.apple.com, my login info was gone.

I cannot log into my Apple ID. I have successfully changed the password but I is not accepted

I Have successfully changed the password and received verification email on my iPad mini but cannot log into to my account

You might try loggin in thru iTunes first. it might be a security feature.
