Help, I can't log onto secure sites

Every time I try to redeem a gift on the itunes site and often on e.bay, I get the following message "error:/system library/keychains/x509 anchors could not be found. without it many applications will be unable to establish secure network connections." I've tried keychain reset and keychain first aid to no avail. After trying keychain first aid the message says it was unable to perform first aid because "unable to restore/system/library/keychains/x509 anchors. you will need to manually copy it from another machine ( I also have an i.mac G5 with lots of X509 anchors when I click on it) or re install the system software. OSX 10.4.11. In keychain access when I click on X509 anchors nothing appears. Any help would be much appreciated as I need to redeem my son's birthday present!

You may have to try an 'Archive and Install' of OS X 10.4.x and then upgrade the new
system with the Combo 10.4.11 download; add the security updates & others if needed...
Be sure to repair disk permissions, between software updates and installs, and after them.
That will help the files and system parts work better together as you build-up the system.
And be sure, when you do the A&I, the checkbox selection to save your user name, etc
is chosen; then that information is saved and copied into the new system folder. After
a time, maybe a month or so, if you do not need anything else from the old 'previous'
system folder which would remain on the computer's hard disk drive, you could trash it.
If you have means of making off-computer file backups, that is recommended beforehand.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT1925 I have upgraded to itunes 11.3.8. My library is showing, however I can't log onto itunes. I have logged in with my apple id, but it doesn't come up. Help?

I have upgraded to itunes 11.3.8. My library is showing, however I can't log onto itunes. I have logged in with my apple id, but it doesn't come up. Help?
When I click on itunes store within itunes, the screen comes up blank. I'm using a macbook pro.

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

My iCloud is disabled. I've reset my password numerous times, but that doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how can I log onto my iCloud

If your ID is disabled, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Why can I log into some sites or view them correctly in Safari

I have tried a few times to view the weather web site for one of my local stations, KOMO news. I can view this easily on my desktop computer, but a different version of the web page/site comes up on my IPod that does not have the same info, and there is no way of getting to the info I want to view (the 7-day forecast). What is this? And is there a way I can override what I'm seeing to view the web page I want to see?
Also, last night I tried logging into a few sites -- my web mail and utility bill pay -- with username and password, and instead of logging me in, the pages would keep "reverting" back to blank fields that I'd try again, and again (not even showing an error message, which is usually what I get if I enter wrong info.). It never worked, though it did work this morning from my desktop computer. Why won't Safari/Ipod let me log onto these sites?
Regards, David

Thanks for the advice everyone.
Working through them without much luck...
New user didn't help.
Have turned off MacScan.
No improvement as yet.
P.S. Not sure how MacScan and Virus Barrier X would interact as they seem to do different things... I got both of these as apps in bundles so didnt really specifically buy them.
I can't see any proxy setting in network preferences so will need to go into virus barrier and check.
Reading the "recommended text" on Virus's for homework.
Tomorrow it will be Appzapper for them both if the patient shows no sign of improvement.

I can't log onto my WiFi with my Touch

I'm using my Touch, AirPort Express and the remote app to control iTunes and play music through my stereo.
I like it but I'm having some problems. For some reason I can't log onto my own wifi with the touch when I have the wireless network secured, even when I type in the networks password. When I have the wireless security disabled it works fine but when I make the wireless connection secure I can't log on.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? I love the set up but it does me no good if I'm vulnerable to hackers. What am I doing wrong?
I don't know if it matters but I have a Linksys router.

I have a PC if this helps.

Unable to log onto some sites using passwords etc

hi all
wonder if you could help me please
i had an i touch for christma and love it but the only issue i have is the inability to log onto some sites that i have to enter my username and password for, even though i can log in perfectly fine on my regular computer!
eveery time i try to access a certain site as soon as i enter my log on details , its starts to process then just goes back to the log on page again. i have tried loads of times but no luck!
im able to log onto facebook etc and wondering if its because im trying to access an usa site but dont think that should make any difference!
i have clicked the debug setting and when trying to log on it does come up with messages and one of which mentions something about a webkit and html issues!! and i havent got a clue what they mean of how to fix them!
others that i know that also have iphones are able to log on, so any help gratefully received, thanks

Hi graceandgirl,
Welcome to the forums... The thing that I would like to bring to your attention is that the safari browser in the iPod is not near the equivilance of a regular computer.
As it can't do flash or some advanced scripts, especially if requried by a the client (in this case your touch) to complete.
Most of the main stream websites I've had no issues with, but again you will run into some issues. And if there are issues, only that website developer can fix them... There's nothing that you can do from your end, you just have to note the websites with this restriction.

Can't access some secure sites through proxy?

can't access some secure sites through proxy server on osx it just keeps going local authority couldn't be contacted, i had the same problem with parental controls, but now that is off and its still doing it, is there a setting or something i need to enable?

In my original post, not today's, I had said I was having the issues on the Mini, running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari v.5.1.5 for my bank's pill pay. I should have been more specific as to which machine and OSX Safari browser I'm having the T-Mobile problem with. My mistake.
It is on both the MacMini and now the Air too. A moment ago, I was able to log in to my.t-mobile.com on the Air, but after putting into my Bookmarks folder, I can't do it anymore. The Log in button comes up greyed out instead of green.
I'm also still having trouble with my bank's bill pay section on both computers too.
I wonder if it's related to the saving of the log in info or putting in the Bookmark Folder?

I cannot log onto Adobe site

My safari won't let me log onto Adobe site. Any body know why this would only happen with this site? I tried to reinstall operating system but it hung up. I suppose I'll have to use Chrome to get to site. I've tried everything, to clear Safari Cookies, etc. reset Safari,

You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to block certain servers, perhaps unknowingly. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

Can't log into web sites on iPhone 4s.

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1. I've recently noticed that on the iPhone, I can't log onto any web site that requires my ID and password. Basically the information is not recognized by the web site. I had no problem logging onto these same sites on the old 3Gs. I've checked that the IDs and passwords are being entered correctly.
If I use my iPad of my MacBook Pro, I can log onto theses same web sites without a problem. I've tried resetting the iPhone but that has not fixed the problem.
The log in problem only happens on the iPhone.
Web sites that don't require an ID and password seem to be working fine on the iPhone.
Has anyone else run across this issue? Any ideas how to correct it?
Regards,
David

Many web sites requiring username/password use cookies during authentication. Be sure Settings | Safari | Accept Cookies is set to something other than Never. I recommend From visited. I think iOS 5 defaults this setting to Never, a difference from prior iOS versions.

Hi kmkrodel,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues accessing iCloud on your Mac or iPad after a change in your Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
On the other hand, if you are talking about sharing files from your Mac to specific apps on your iPad via iTunes, then this article may be of more use (Note: When using this function, you will only see apps that support file sharing, not all apps on the device):
iOS: About File Sharing

I deleted my account as it was showing up with an old Id ( I'd changed my email) but now I've done that it won't give me the option of logging back on.
