Cannot sign in to hotmail after playing with and deleting cookies

Ever since i got Firefox 4 and 5 i've been encountering problems/challenges. A couple of days ago i deleted many cookies and then changed the cookies settings in the History in the Privacy tab in the Options.
Now i cannot sign in into my Hotmail account. I keep getting this message:
This site may be experiencing a problem
The site may not be a member of the Windows Live Network
You can:
You can sign in or sign up at other sites on the Windows Live Network, or try again later at this site.
I tried to change the accepting cookies setting ("Keep until") to: 'ask me every time' and then i almost could not stop a Facebook cookies warning. I changes 'Keep until' back to 'they expire'.
I have no problem signing in via IE from this same laptop.

To get iMessage and Facetime working you have to goto "settings > General> reset > erase all content and settings"
After iphone reboots go thru setup like a new phone but chose restore from iCloud backup. Choose "see all backups" and chose one before you installed ios7.
Usually iPhone backs itself up when locked and plugged into charger so there should be a few to choose from.
The phone doesn't have to be pluuged into iTunes for this but probably should be connected to charger.
Don't wait on Apple. They seem to think there is no problem.

  • I cannot sign in to hotmail with firefox

    Suddenly a couple of days ago I cannot sign in to hotmail from firefox as I have been doing for 2 yrs daily.
    I cleared cookies and cache and the sign in fields appear but then it comes back as unable to sign in.
    I also disabled all add-ons with the same result.
    Hotmail works fine in IE

    Hey all....I awkened at 12:35 am with a thought about what might be wrong and it's one thing I did not think to check. I went through all the blocked cookies. I went through 3 times and did not see anything Live, msn, hotmail etc that I had blocked but then I thought what the heck, and deleted everything, blocked or allowed.
    Went back and tried to sign in and....it worked!
    Now, I have no idea which blocked cookie it was because none were obvious to me and the ones that came up for approval to allow or not during sign-in all were live.com cookies.
    Anyway, thanks a million for your help...I did learn a few things on this one from you all, so it was a good experience.
    Best of all, I don't have to use IE anymore! :)

  • Cannot sign in to Hotmail.

    Everything was working fine, but now I cannot access hotmail. I can get it on Internet Explorer, but not Firefox.
    I get the Microsoft 2011 "Live" normal page, but cannot
    sign in (no provision to do so), and even the "Sign Up" for an account doesn't work. What did I do wrong?

  • Cannot sign out of iCloud after updating to IOS8

    I recently upgraded my iPad Mini with Retina display to the latest IOS version 8.1.2 on 12/27/14. After doing so and restarting the iPad, it repeatedly keeps asking for an iCloud password...like every 3 seconds. The thing is, it has signed me into my wife's iCloud and not mine. I have tried to enter her password over and over and it will not accept it. I tried to reset the iPad to factory settings, but to do so it requires me to sign out of Find My iPad which requires the iCloud password, which it will not accept. I have tried to reset her password on iCloud.com but I cannot sign in, which leads me to believe that my wife has forgotten her password. So I then tried to have her password reset by selecting "iForgot" and filling out the required info to send an email verification for a password reset, but no such email ever arrives in her inbox. So basically at this point, the device continuously asks for a password that I cannot provide and to reset it to factory settings I must provide said password that i cannot provide. I have tried to reset it to factory settings through Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings AND through iTunes to no avail.
    I have tried all options on this page If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud. like has been suggested to others on other threads I have read, and nothing works.

    You must (a) verify which account was used to lock the iPad (Find My iPad), and then (b) recover the password. There is no workaround for this (except off to an Apple Store with proof of purchase, they may unlock it).

  • How can I sign out of hotmail after using it on my ipad mini?

    How do I sign out of my Hotmail account after using it on my ipad mini?

    I believe that I have the same issue with iPad Mini with Retina Display, iOS 8.1. No matter which way I delete videos from my iPad, they will still show as "deleted", yet the space is not cleared up. I tried restore and then a full restore (clean setup as a new iPad) and it still does this to me. I can solve it by doing a restore each and every time I download a video and delete it. Rather frustrating. Has been a problem since day 1 of iOS 8. I'm yet to try the power+home button reset. It may very well work, but I am surprised that a "fresh setup" of an iPad didn't resolve it from ever occurring.

  • TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

    I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

    If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected.  Try ejecting again after the restart.
    If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage.  When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes.  This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
    If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

  • I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

    I cannot sign in to the App Store.
    I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
    When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
    When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
    Please help me.

    You could try this.
    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, 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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • My story is working in dvd studio pro but how do I get the track to play with and without the story?

    Hi there,
    I've targetted my first button to play all and I've targetted my second button to play all: story 1. The play all option is still playing the same as the play all:story 1 option.
    Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing here. It should be straightforward but something isn't working.
    Many thanks
    Oonagh

    Not sure if I explained my problem well at the start.
    I have a 1 track dvd and I want two play options. 1 is the play all option, the other is an interactive option where the track will stop at certain points in the dvd. I have created 2 stories for each task. However, I can't alter 1 story without it altering the other story. Therefore for the play all option, when I want to take out the property whereby it stops at certain points in the interactive play option, it takes it out of both stories. If I target the play all button to just the track without any story, it still is linked to the interactive story.
    The way I've made the story markers interactive is by putting the playback option to infinite.
    I thought I had solved the problem by  deleting the interactive story markers  in the play all story  but now when it plays through, it's not seamless where I removed these chapters and seems to jump a bit at these points.
    If anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated

  • I changed my apple_id but i forgot to logout on my iPhone so now I cannot sign in on iCloud since I can't delete old id. Can anyone help me to delete old id?

    I'm sorry for long title.
    please help

    Hello kalak_ita,
    Try using your current Apple ID's password, as that may get you past this roadblock. If not, the following article provides steps that can help you get signed out of your old iCloud account and into your current account.

  • I had the problem of the Apple Sync Notifer.exe showing up every time I signed in.  I finally found it and deleted it and it is in my recycle bin but I am a bit nervous about totally deleting it.   Does anyone know if it is ok to completely delete??

    I had a problem with the Apple Sync Notifer.exe showing up every time I signed in.  I finally found a location and
    deleted it and it went into my recycle bin.  I was going to clean out the recycle bin and it asked if I really wanted to
    delete the Apple Sync Notifer.  I am wondering if it is safe to clear it or did I make an error and should keep it??

    Windows 7 can't run on Powerbooks.  The name of the computer is under the display on the frame.   Are you running some software in Boot Camp, or another virtualization engine?

  • Purchased songs keep showing up after being unchecked and deleted on iTunes library and iPhone, please help

    Like the question says, I have about 6 or 7 songs that I want to permanently delete from my iTunes library and iPhone. They keep showing up even after I've unchecked/deleted them. I've used the manual option and selected the artists, genres, etc. that I still want, but the deleted songs keep appearing. I bought these songs off of the iTunes store I didn't use my iPhone. I don't have the iTunes Match option turned on my phone, nor do I use iCloud. I don't know what else to do besides manually selecting all of my songs and putting them into a folder, deleting the blasphemous songs that I don't want anymore, deleting my iTunes library and resetting my iPhone and copying the songs from the folder back into my iTunes library. But has anyone else had this happen to them? I've had an iPod for years now and I've never had this issue before. I'd really like an easier solution here, so does anyone have any ideas?

    The solution is Simple.
    - Goto preferences
    - From there select the 'Devices' tab
    - Now make click the check box close to 'Prevent iPods,iPhones..... from syncing automatically.
    Click OK and your problem will be solved.

  • Cannot sign in to iMessage after ios7 update

    Hey guys,
    I did the iOS 7 update on my iPhone 4S and now it will not let me sign in to my apple ID to access my iMessages. I'm still receiving them on my iPad. I have tried turning the phone off, resetting my network settings. I put my password in to sign in with my apple ID, but it keeps saying “could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"
    Also, the people I try to IMessage do get my messages, but I do not receive messages back.

    To get iMessage and Facetime working you have to goto "settings > General> reset > erase all content and settings"
    After iphone reboots go thru setup like a new phone but chose restore from iCloud backup. Choose "see all backups" and chose one before you installed ios7.
