Cannot log out of aol e-mail using any method including trying to restart computer.

Any help appreciated to get my e-mail to log out.

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Log out 'button' in Yahoo mail is not active/clickable in Firefox

In Yahoo mail the logout 'button' is not active when using Firefox (currently 3.6.8) (&running on XP) so the onlyb way to Logout is to close the browser ( works fine on same Laptop with IE)

I have tried these "fixes" numerous times and they never work. :( Thanks for trying.

HT204053 This just started. I cannot log on to my iCloud mail account and .me mail does not work.

My two .me mail boxes just stopped working and I cannot sign in to my iCloud Mail.
Is there a system problem?
Many thanks for any help.

Seems there's been an issue for a couple of hours. If they fix it soon, I don't think a several-hour outage is the type of thing that affects AAPL. I've got my fingers crossed they'll fix it soon.

Cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.

I cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4. The password does not have any special characters. On my PC there is no problem.
Also cannot configure Add Yahoo mail. I woould get a message, stating "Verification required. Log into your Yahoo! account at www.yahoo.com". when I attempt this I get "Invalid ID/Password".

Tried eveyrhting and this was the way that fixed it for me --
if you are having an issue adding the yahoo mail account on an iphone/ ipad / ipod.
In the app store download the yahoo mail app for iphone (it works on ipads and ipods as well.. but there's only an iphone version). After downloading it - open and sign in. It's likely it will say that your yahoo account is 'locked' due to suspicious activity - follow the prompts to unlock it.
Now add the yahoo account under the ipad mail settings.
It should work in the regular ipad, iphone, ipod mail application now.
Hope this helps

Yahoo mail account drops out randomly. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection.

II have 2 yahoo mail accounts on my Mac. The primary account works fine but the second account loses connection. When I put in the password I get a message that it is not the correct password. The only way round it appears to be to go into Yahoo on Safari, log out then log bck in again. If I then go back into Mail and right click on the account I cn then get mail for this account without having to enter a password. The problem only started when I installed Lion, but is still the same in Mountain Lion.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Enter the details of her second account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars.

Am using Safari 6.0.5, suddenly my Yahoo mail account won't keep me logged in and the 'keep me logged in' button has disappeared. It is still there on Chrome so am assuming it is a Safari issue. It just happened suddenly. Have reset Safari.

I still don't understand what the problem that you are experiencing is. If you get to a page where yahoo is asking JUST for your password, and there is no box for username (it may have your username displayed, but not in a enter box), then you ARE "being kept signed in" You can verify this by instead of entering your password, go to www.yahoo.com home page, and it will say something like "Hi, Amber" This means you ARE signed in.
When you get that page asking for just your password, you are NOT being asked to sign in again. You are simply being asked to verify/enter your assword an Nth time. If you get that page right after entering your username and password, try clicking the "back" (previous page) button. It might just go to your inbox.
If this is the case, your problem has nothing to do with being kept signed in or not, the problem is that for some (unknown to me) reason, yahoo is asking you to re-enter your password, kind of like when your mac asks for your mac password when changing system settings. Yahoo does this as a safety feature when you go to account settings, and apparently abritary other times. I wish I understood just why I get it every time after signing in.
It could be because I have java turned off. It could be because I don't accept third party cookies. Maybe a cache file. Or a hundred other things... I don't know. It could simply be yahoo is scrooing safari users. I have glanced at the html, but to really understand it, it would take me days. There are over 25 places where username and password are in the html "source" code of the yahoo login page, and even understanding that may not tell me. In the past, I have seen code essentiall saying "if IE x.3.2" do this, if chrome do that, if mozilla do something else, otherwise make it next to impossible...."
My problem is not only I get asked for my assword a second time, but also (and only very recently) I do not get a prompt to save username and pasword. I have gone to yahoo help pages to try to figure it out, and I feel like I just run in circles. If one wants to send a question in, they have to answer half a dozen questions disclosing private information. And I pay yahoo $20/year. grrr
If when you are trying to access your yahoo mail and you are being asked to enter both your username and password, but didn't sign out of yahoo, then indeed your are not being "kept signed in"

I cannot access Yahoo Mail account or Netflix accounmt

I cannot access my Yahoo Mail account nor my Netflix account using FF. I can access these in IE. I do not like IE so help is appreciated.

That issue can be caused by corrupted cookies.

Right after the firefox upgrade I can no longer acess my text window in my yahoo mail account. I cant figure out why.

Once firefox completed its upgrade I can no longer access my text window/box in my yahoo mail account. Which means I cannot text from my mail account now. I cant figure out why this is happening.

When I open my Yahoo mail account, it comes up with lines between every entry. When I try to send a new message, the dialogue box is incomplete. The tool bar above the message box is empty so I cannot change the font or font size, etc.

This problem does not occur when I open my Yahoo mail account in Internet Explorer.
Because of it, I cannot use Firefox to access my Yahoo mail.

After updating my iPad 2 with os6 my yahoo mail accounts can't log me in as session time expires. When I try again as we'll as confirming my password etc I face the same problem. Any help or ideas?

After updating my iPad 2 with os6 I can't get into my yahoo mail accounts. After repeating the process I get session expired message or sometimes not even this message and just prompts me to re enter my password. I know there is no issue with username or password as it works on my PC without any issues.
Does anyone have an answer to this?

Thanks for your response, however my yahoo mail started to work as normal this morning! No explanation, even though I made several attempts during the past few days by trying to log in but to no avail. Yet today it suddenly worked...presto.
Prior to this I made a trip to the Apple store in London and chatted with a few staff about this issue yesterday and they could not help.....had two answers:
1. Check with yahoo and make sure you have not over stretched the number of accounts ( even though there are only two)
2. If you had backed up os5 on the computer, one could revert back to old software. Otherwise wait for Apple to fix issues as os6 is new.
*Be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar fix without rhyme or reason?

Cannot log in to BT Yahoo Account

I have had my phone and broadband connected today and both are working, but I cannot log into the BT Yahoo account to get to emails and also it wont let me use them when I try and download the antivirus software. I know the username and password are correct but it doesnt seem to recognize them. Does it take a while for BT to activate the username after your broadband is turned on
Thanks

Hi kazzie13 and welcome
Yes, there can be a delay from when your connection goes live to be able to access your email account. It IIRC can take about 24hours - depends on how quick the system plays catch up.

I use only support.mozilla.org and never used any other websites. However, the same problem here. My ID and Password are not accepted. Had to create a new account with a temporary email to use Support - it would not allow me to use my main email, because "it is used by another account". Try to reset password - receive no email (even though there is a confirmation on the website that email to reset password has been sent). At the same time can easily receive a confirmation about User ID and account activation. Thus, the account is completely locked, and I can not use my email address for a new one. Please fix this problem.
