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?

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! :)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cannot sign in to ichat because my apple id is a hotmail address?!

    I cannot sign in to ichat because my apple id is a hotmail address. For some reason I cannot make another account, i get the following message "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID.": However I do not recall ever making a MobileMe account since i don't have an Iphone. What can I do? i already tried using different email addresses but i cant seem to make a @mac.com address. Really don't understand why?!

    Hi,
    Of the IDs from Apple  (As opposed to those used to Create an ID) only the @mac.com and MobilMe ones work as Valid AIM Names.
    New MobileMe (@Me.com) names are not possible until the iCloud launch.
    @mac.com name require that you link it to another Email.
    However that Email must NOT be one already used for another Apple ID
    (The password also has to be 16 characters or Less due to the Limit on this at AIM)

  • Cannot sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 to extend lincence - VS attempts to start Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    I noticed that my trial period for VS Community 2013 expired. While waiting for my company to get a real purchased licence I have to continue working one way or another. I would like to extend my licence by signing into the VS community. However, the MS
    Internet Explorer is disabled by company policy due to safety issues. Now, VS Community 2013 only and always attempts to open MS Explorer whenever I try to sign in, or check for updated versions, or whatever. I cannot find a workaround to open the links in
    another browser but MS Explorer.
    Please help me to extend my licence so I can keep working! I cannot (!) ever use the MS Explorer for this, so I need to find another solution. Any suggestions, please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nadja

    Hi Nadja,
    As you said that when you sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 without using the
    MS Internet Explorer browser, but you cannot sign into successfully Visual Studio Community 2013.
    So could you please provide me the detailed error message after you sing in the Visual Studio Community 2013?
    What browser you use to sing in this VS Community 2013?
    Generally, I know that we can sign in this VS Community 2013 successfully using the default MS Internet Explorer browser.
    So if possible, I suggest you could try to enable MS Internet Explorer browser and then try to sign in this VS Community 2013 check this issue again.
    In addition, I suggest you could also try to sing in a Microsoft web page such as a Hotmail email using your browser and then check if you could sing in successfully.
    However, I suggest you could try to consult about how to extend license for this VS Community 2013 by
    calling 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing
    specialist, and you can get more detail information from there. You can also visit the following site for more information and support on licensing issues:

    In the Command Prompt type:  cd c:\windows\syswow64 and press Enter.
    Next type this and then press Enter:

  • I cannot sign into my google account on a Droid charge I just activated.

    I cannot sign into my google account on a Droid charge I just activated.  I use my hotmail account to sign in (successfully) on my laptop and old razor m. When I try on the Charge, it says that my email address does not use google.  Any ideas?

        I want to make sure you have access to your email, Trevorno. I'd like to clarify. Are you having trouble signing into your Hotmail account or your Gmail account? If you are trying to sign into your Hotmail account, you will need to set up your account using the default Email application. You can refer to these steps to set up your account: http://vz.to/1xU6SgL

  • Cannot sign in to app store on MY account, but different acc works fine

    Hi,
    Today I signed into someone else's AppleID on my iPad to purchase an app (with their permission.) But now that I signed out of their account, I am now unable to sign in to MY account! I get "the Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect" the first time - then the second time I try, it just doesn't respond at all. Also, I am signed into my account right now (to post this message), I can access the account online via appleid.apple.com, AND I cannot sign in on my iPhone 3GS either. I have tried resetting the password, to no avail.
    I am also doubtful it is a problem with the App Store itself, because I can sign back in to the alternate account with no problems. Suggestions? Anyone else having (or had) this same problem before?
    Message was edited by: amaclac

    Well, dunno if I did something to fix it unknowingly or if it was some sort of Apple hiccup, but I can now sign in on the iPad. I just tried signing in on iTunes to see if that would work; it did, then I tried signing in once again on iPad and that worked as well. Not sure what was going on, but all fixed now! Phew.

  • Cannot sign in max free accounts have been activated on this phone, bought on ebay

    cannot sign in max number of free accounts activated on this iphone

    the best solution for this is go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset all settings. 
    This will not delete any data, but only settings & this might resolve  the issue.

  • How, when I sign out of Hotmail (MSN), sign back in with a different account, and click on Hotmail, can I get it to open in the same tab (or at least same window) instead of in a new window?

    Under options I've checked "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Yet often when I must sign back into Hotmail, it opens in a new window. I would prefer that it open in the MSN sign-in tab or at least in the same window, but am not given a choice. If there is no way to control that, can I move tabs from one window to another window?

    Thanks. I read the article but don't understand whether or not I can change the preference with regard to Hotmail.

  • 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.

  • I I cannot sign out of my comcast email in Firefox but I can do so in IE.

    My husband and I each have our own email account on Comcast email. We almost always use Firefox to open it. Suddenly, I cannot sign out of my email account on Firefox. I click on sign-out, then click on sign in, but the email automatically goes to my email account. After signing out, and clicking on email, it sometimes says "oh oh, you're not signed in." But when I click on sign in, instead of giving me the sign in box it goes right to my open email account. Just can't get out of it. When I am on IE, I can still sign in and out of both Comcast accounts without a problem.
    I use a laptop with Windows 7 or 7XP I believe, not sure which it is. Thanks for your help.

    Try to clear the cookies from that Comcast website.
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the <i>cookies.sqlite</i> file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

    I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
    You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.
