Cannot use Safari from new account on iMac

Just set up a separate account for my kids, and after following the relevant instructions find that I cannot access Safari at all from the account. I thought from the prompts I should have been able to access it and set bookmarks for pages the kids could view. Also when I look at the Finder & System tab in the account set up it doesn't list Safari as an application. Anyone come across this problem before ?
Thanks in advance for any help

I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
1) Rebooting my computer, then...
2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
...a...
...long...
...time...
But its looking like its working.
A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

  • I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application.  Yahoo works fine on the browser. 
    The outgoing settings I am using are:
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)
    Description: yahoo.co.uk
    Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Use default ports (25, 465, 587)
    Use SSL
    Authentication: Password
    User Name:  ********@yahoo.co.uk
    Password: *************
    Of note:
    I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.
    I have used the same settings on my ipad and iphone and that works fine.
    Really grateful if you can help.
    Thanks

    HI..
    Open the Finder by clicking the Finder   icon in your Dock.
    From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Typs this exactly as you see it here   ~/Library/Safari
    Click Go
    Move these files from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    LastSession.plist
    Downloads.plist
    History.plist
    Quit then relaunch Safari.

    A email account that was used is now not in use and songs that were purchased and added are bound to this old account from the same computer how do I the purchaser of these songs reclaim the authorization to play and use in my new account. even though account name may have been changed.

    Just authorize the computer and retreive them.
    Go here -> https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa/iforgot .
    FYI: you should have simply updated the AppleID with new info and continued to use it instead of creating a new one.

    you should be able to use links from your account if you login using the same id you used to register it, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

    Thanks for your quick reply, this is what I thought but there is no download link in the My Products section - maybe I am missing it but I cannot find download links anywhere else in my account ...

    are you using the same id now as you used when you registered you product?

    I have gtwo accounts, one UK and one for Spain. This did cause some issues when i originally bought Photoshop and Lightroom but this was sorted out, so my Spanish account became the main account with my products in it. When i was checking earlier, all products were showing - photoshop, lightoom and Studio 7. All without download links but I have copies on file of photshop and Lightroom, but not Studio 7.
    Since then I have tried deleting my cache (Chrome) and using a different browser (IE11) but the problem remains the same. I suspect it is something to do with the originalmix up in the UK and Spanish accounts when i bought the products but really not sure. I am not too worried about them being available permanently in my online account - i'd just like to have a copy of the Studio Suite i can download. I can use the activation code from my account as that is showing OK.

    However, I did purchase it from Adobe.
    As I understand you from your previous posts on this issue (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1364641), Studio 7 (which you're seeking to download) is Studio MX 2004. That was Macromedia software.
    I'm not sure how you purchased this in 2011 since the software was long superseded by then. Studio MX 2004 was sold by Macromedia in 2004 - before their acquisition by Adobe.
    Adobe has never sold Studio MX 2004.
    Adobe does not offer any Macromedia software for download although they do provide new serial numbers for legacy Macromedia software since the activation servers were decommissioned. The new serial numbers allow you to continue to use your Macromedia software indefinitely.

  • Cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI

    I cannot send email from pop account when in 3G, will send in WIFI.
    I thought it was the SMTP server first.. but when i config my WIFI, suddenly the emails that i tried to send, left my outbox and sent.
    Any idea's

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

  • I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari File Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens but the page is blank. Also, when I try to use the safari Help button,the dialogue box is blank.

    I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update when prompted. Since then I cannot use Safari>File>Print to print web pages - the printer dialogue window opens, but the page remains blank. Also when I try to use the Safari Help button, the dialogue box opens but remains infuriatingly blank. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Back up all data.
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I was charged for the same app twice, but I only had enough money to purchase it once. I used a prepaid Mastercard, and cannot remove it from my account. I am also unable to download anything from iTunes. How do I fix this?

    The "none" option is nowhere to be found, and I can't remove my card. I don't really want to create a new account.

    You'll have to pardon my ignorance of some  computer terminology; I'm a retired manager and not a computer technician, hence my muddling up of client and server terminology.
    Re your comment about Port 339: I did qualify this with (?).  As I wrote, it all happened at lightining speed and the guy at the Genius Bar didn't bother explaining what he was doing.  Port designation contained 3s and 9s to the best of my recollection.
    That said, you seem to be spot on re setting up a 'dummy' client in Mail.  I set it up as you suggested and I can send to and receive from this client without a problem.  You appear to have identified the solution, notwithstanding the claims of the ISP's 'experts'.
    The next problem I have now is sorting out my wife's mailbox that is so troublesome whenever I set it up on Mail.
    All the other set-up advice to date yielded a similar result; inability to send from my account to her inbox.  Perhaps deleting her details from the account altogether and setting them up again from scratch may be the solution and I shall try that in due course.  The impediment that I have with this at the moment is that my ISP admits that it has 'a technical problem with its email servers' and some of its related web pages that prevent my doing this myself.  I will have to go through the telephone 'help' line and ask the technician to set it up at their end on my instructions.  This has some disadvantages in that I have to divulge the password to the account to the operator rather than keeping it anonymous by doing it on-line.   You may have solved the problem, but until I can successfully sort out a working mailbox for my wife i cannot definitively say so.
    Many thanks for your perseverance.  You've made more sense than anyone else so far and that deserves some points, surely?

    Are you referring to the Mail.app under Tiger or the

    If the Mail application, you cannot use Panther's

    More detailed information is required regarding
    "cannot use the new Mac Mail".
    I have mac 10.4.8 but sfari 1.2.4?
    The new mail needs Safari 1.3 but not sure if I missed the update or if I need to reload?
    Can I load the mac disc and then just do the combined update?

  • Email address cannot be unlinked from Facebook account

    Hi, I would like to decouple my Facebook account from Spotify.  I happened to create my account against my Facebook account and, after deactivating my Facebook account, found that I could no longer log into Spotify.  I reactivated my Facebook account and was then able to log in.  I would like to decouple my email address, but it shows in your system as 'in use' and I cannot unlink it.   This was frustrating enough that I switched to Rdio several months ago. I like Spotify, though, and want to switch back.  I won't though, until I can use my regular email address and not be dependent on Facebook.  What I would like is to have my account unregistered so I can create a new account using the same email address I've been using for years, and then sign up for the premium membership.  Is there any way to disassociate my Facebook account from my Spotify account?   It makes absolutely no sense to me that, because I initially registered with my Facebook account, I now need to forever maintain a Facebook account to also maintain a Spotify membership and that there is no way to separate those two things.

    Hey there , welcome to the community!
    If you get in touch with Spotify directly through the online contact form they will set you up with a new account and transfer all your music over, so you won't have to use your Facebook account anymore. :)
