Financial website doesn't recognize my computer and asks security questions each time I log in

When I sign into a financial website it doesn't remember my mac and requires me to answer security questions each time.  I called the website and they said the problem is with my mac's settings.  Anyone else have this problem?

  • I'm using a new computer and to open one website I have to answer the security questions each time saying that the site doesn't recognize this computer.

    Each time I try to open my "ubt" website, I get a message that says the site does not recognize this computer so I have to answer the security questions each time. I get the message "You are attempting to log in to your account from a computer that we do not recognize..." All other websites work just fine. The Mac store person could not figure it out. This site works on Safari, but I prefer Firefox.

    The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  Without syncing:File>transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your  old computer to your new one.

  • HT1933 new computer authorized asking security questions have 25.00 ready to buy now!!!!

    I have deauthorized newer PC and authorized $25.00 can't buy online via store asking security questions tried twice locks out>>>>>

    You will be asked 2 of your security questions the first time that you try to buy something on a new computer or deive. If you don't know their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • HT1918 When wanting to purchase apps front my iPod touch I am required to answer different security questions each time which I can not remember and thus can't buy any apps, what nonsense is this! How can I get around this ridiculous disaster

    Hi there, when I was trying to purchase an app on my iPod touch it asked me to answer sequroty questions which I did not know the answer to. So now I am not ble to get any apps on the iPod from the app store which is very annoying.  This is a must and needs to resolved ASAP. Thanks :)

    It will take longer to charge the 5G's battery than either the 3G or 4G's battery.

  • The Toshiba website doesn't recognize my hard drive's serial number and P/N

    Hello,
    I bought my Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 hard drive from Amazon a little under two months ago. The hard drive stopped working for some reason (I didn't drop it or anything, it just stopped working).
    I was of course trying to use my warranty to fix it or exchange it, but the Toshiba website doesn't recognize my serial number and product number. They're right there, black and white on the sticker on the back of my hard drive, but the website says they're invalid.
    Anyone has any clue what's going on? I'd rather not throw 50 euros out the window for less than two months of use.
    Product number is HDTB105XK3AA -- and not HDTB105*E*K3AA as some websites say (including Amazon).
    Thanks for your help.

    Just adding to the above comments, I have a simialr issue. bought a 3gb drive from amazon and now 8 months later it has just stopped working (wont power up at all) again it has just sat new to my computer working fine for the last 8 months and has now just stopped.
    I contacted amazon and got this reply from the seller:
    "Hi Jack,
    Thanks for your e-mail and apologies for the problems with your laptop. Your laptop comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty directly with Toshiba so they should be able to resolve this for you. Their customer contact number is 0333 222 7444 or if you prefer to go online the Toshiba Computer Support website (http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/generic/computing-support/) has full contact/ e-mail options.
    Kind regards,
    Customer service Team"
    So came here to try and find more details but cannot find the model or anything regarding warranty, any assistance glady recieved

  • My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and it shows up the apple and nothing is working. What can I do ?

    My computer doesn't recognize my iphone and now my iphone displays the apple and I can't use it. What can I do ?

    First, try to do a hard reset of your phone. (Hold down the Home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for about 10 seconds. When the screen flashes and the Apple appears again, release the buttons.)
    If that doesn't work, then you may have to put your phone in restore mode.
    Power off your phone and disconnect it from the USB cable.
    Close iTunes.
    Then press and hold the Home button and while keeping the Home button pressed down, connect the phone to the USB cable.
    Continue to hold the Home button pressed down. 
    After a few seconds, you should see the display prompt you to connect to iTunes.
    After that, you should be able to restore your phone from iTunes.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync.

    I have an iPhone 5s on a windows 8 platform. iTunes is 11.1.4.62, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and I am unable to sync. After the last iTunes update my phone wasn't recongnized and the phone asks if I want to trust the computer everytime I connect it. Other programs can access the photos and recognize the iPhone 5 but not iTunes.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.

    I think my ipod comes from the same generation and it took a while before i got the right information. I have an old version of itunes(plus whatever other software is on the cd) and i think that is what made it work. I got the same error at some point and once it synced with itunes it went through a process to correct the problem. I got the ipod maybe two years ago so the information is sketchy. I synced and reset it i think via windows originally even though i am a linux user but i could not work out how to do it in linux then as i was pretty new to it. Plus the guy at the Apple shop told me it is better to do it in windows. Well they don't know linux. So maybe an older version of itunes might be the clue to solving this? I might have also changed the battery at that time ....
    My ipod has been syncing with both windows(itunes) and Linux apps on many machines over the past two years. Anyway if i can think of more info i will let you know.

  • Had to reformat my hard drive, now ipod doesn't recognize my computer

    I was infected with numerous viruses and had to refomat the hard drive. When I connect the iPod, it doesn't recognize the computer as the same one, so I can't get the files that I already paid for off the iPod. Any ideas?

    Yes, all you iTunes data are on the old drive. Get an external enclosure in which you may install the old drive in order to connect it to your computer and copy your iTunes data to your new drive.
    Everything is on your old drive unless you copied it to the new drive.

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

  • My bank doesn't recognize my computer on FF but does on IE.

    When I attempt to log in to my banking account the bank doesn't recognize my computer. I have told the bank system that this is a private computer on earlier logins yet it asks for additional authentication each time. This does not occur when I use Internet Explorer, only with FireFox.

    I don't know what kind of security your bank requires, But if your FF 34 was updated it might have SSLv3 turned of.
