How do I keep logged in on websites with Safari?

Hi everyone,
I have encountered a new problem: Safari can't keep me logged in on some of the sites that I visit daily, like Hotmail, Flickr, iMDB, ebay and Gmail. The browser remembers my usernames & passwords, but I still get logged off automatically within a few hours once I logged into a site. Firefox doesn't have this problem. Is it possible to stay logged in using Safari? Thanks!

Sometimes cookies can get corrupted. You'll have to recover your password for those sites before proceeding so that you can re-enter them after taking the steps below.
Safari menu -> Preferences -> Security -> edit the cookies and delete the cookies for the sites that are misbehaving. I'm seeing a similar issue in Safari 3.0.4, and just did that solution. We'll see if it solves it or not.

Staying logged in to websites with Safari

Hi all,
I'm new to MAC and appear to have come up against a common problem i.e. Safari not staying logged into websites despite ticking the 'stay logged in box' Yahoo! is an example of this.
I've trawled through the net looking for answers but it seems this has been going on for some time.
Anything new that actually works?
(Running a new i5 iMAC with OSX 10.6.6)
Thanks.

If you are running v10.6.6, update your software. Latest Snow Leopard version is v10.6.8 and Safari 5.1
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update.
And from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Details
Delete the website url's you have problems accessing then click Done.
Restart your Mac.

I have the same issue. I live in Arizona and we also don't do that stupid daylight savings. When I put it to auto it says Denver. Location should pick up Phoenix. Needs to get fixed because I have to manually set it every time I travel now until DST is over.

Having a hard time signing into websites with Safari

Hi, I'm having a hard time signing in my username and password for e-mail addresses I use and for message boards as well. I use Safari all the time accept for my school website that requires IE. Anyways, I use Comcast and I have been trying to sign into my e-mail address name and everyime I click "sign in mail" Safari says "Safari Can't Open Page". So then, I went to my AIM mail to sign in there and then it said the same thing. Then I went to this Apple Forum to ask if anyone knows what the problem is, and then when I went to sign into here, the same thing. So right now I am using Camino, but can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone having the same problem as me? Thanks.

I too have been having a problem of logging into certain websites with a username and password. Instead of logging in successfully with Safari, a blank page or an error would occur.
This happened for: citibank, comcast, sprint, and miscellaneous other sites.
This problem apparently had something to do with my cookies since erasing my cookies seemed to solve the problem. Here's how to do it:
Safari -> Preferences...-> Security -> Show Cookies -> Remove All.

Unable to open a website with Safari

Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?

Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?
So is it necessary to buy a mac to guarantee that a website acts like it should, or is the Safari for Windows enough?

How can I keep logged in on Facebook even tho I've cleared everything?

I've cleared all history, cookies, cache & still can't keep logged into facebook. Everytime I scroll down or click on something I get the rectangle with "must be logged in to facebook". I relog in and sometimes get the same message. It doesn't happen to me in IE.
I'm using 3.6.12

This should fix the issue:
Special thanks to Roger Wilmut for providing the detailed instructions on the website below.

1. Shut down Mail. Next, deselect "iCloud Mail" in the iCloud preferences pane in System Preferences FIRST. If not, it will automatically pre-populate the wrong p9X.mail.me.com server names again overwriting all your work.
2. Now restart Mail and go to preferences. If "iCloud" mail is still showing, select it and click on the "-" at the bottom to remove it.
3. Now follow the instructions here:http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html (disregard that this is for Snow Leopard, it DOES work on Lion) paying attention to the use of the "option" key when needed to avoid Mail automatically "creating" the account and closing out the preferences window.
4. Ensure the correct server names of "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" are still there and close Mail preferences and now select "get mail". It may prompt one last time for your iCloud password, enter it and you are done.
Good Luck.

" (1) how do I transfer the files from my PowerBook G4 to the nano? "
In disk mode the Nano will mount on the desktop like any removable dive, just drag the files you want onto it
"(2) How would I transfer them back again if I ever need to?"
Drag them back from the Nano to your computer
"(3) should I try to go back and find out if "optimizing" was completed, and finish it if it wasn't? How?
You would probably need to restore it to factory settings to start the process again
"(4) How do I keep the nano from automatically updating from my music files when I charge it"
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box. It won't update automatically in manual mode. You can also remove the tick from the box which says "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached".

Can't log in to websites on Safari for iPhone 4

I'm sure I have some setting checked or something, but for some reason I cannot log in to websites through my Safari app. One specific case in point is Ravelry.Com. If I go there, it takes me to the log in screen for the mobile website. I enter my username and password (yes, correctly) and push send and then it takes me right back to the blank log in screen. The same thing happens if I try to log in to LionBrand.com and a few other websites I've tried.
My friend has an iPhone 4 and she can log in to Ravelry with no problems.
HELP!!

Thanks so much for your help, but as soon as I put the question out there, I found a link with my solution. The Ravelry hack was just one in a long list of sites I use that have been hacked. I'm so over hackers at this point. I change my passwords frequently anyway, but it's such a nuisance.

How do I upload PDFs to .Mac website with iWeb?

Is there a way to upload documents such as PDFs to my .Mac website with iWeb and then link to them from iWeb pages such as Blogs?
17" iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, there are two ways of doing it:
The efficient, "every link points to the same guy" solution is to add the PDF to your page with Insert->Hyperlink->To File..., publish it, and copy the address into all references anywhere else (blogs).
The second way is to just link those PDFs locally in each reference. This isn't as efficient space-wise as above, but considerably easier.

How can I create a 2nd fresh website with I-web?

Very strange. I Created and published (via FTP) a 3 page website with I-web, no problems. Now I want to create some individual one-off pages to upload to a separate website/domain to update it, but only seem to be able to open the one original website in I-web. Maddening - can anyone help? Thanks

try moving the domain file to a new place (desktop) and then opening up iweb. that way it will start a new file for you and you won't have all your sites within the one domain file.

My brother can't access his company's website with Safari or Firefox

This is driving me nuts. My two brothers own a home building company and paid me to design and put up a website for them. My brother Scott, who I recently switched to the Mac, can't access the site with either Safari or FireFox. He hasn't had any trouble accessing any other sites on the internet, just his own!
I can access the site no problem at home with Safari, my other brother can access it from IE 6 on his Windows machine, and Scott can access the site from the Dell sitting right next to his Mac using the same router and satellite modem.
Heres the error Safari gives: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.handhproperties.com" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
I looked around in the network prefs, security, etc., but couldn't find anything that might cause this. Now this is just a very basic plain Jane website and I didn't include anything fancy. Mostly because I'm not that smart. What could be causing this?
I emptied Safari's cache and went in and deleted cookies from the site (GoDaddy must've put them there because I certainly didn't and wouldn't know how). Immediately after I did that, the Home page of the site loaded but with a bunch of errors and no images. If I clicked on any links I got the same error message as before, so I went looking for more cookies to delete but there weren't any.
He's on WildBlue satellite and my first thought was it had something to do with them because before, when he was on dial up he had no problems accessing the site. He talked to them and they claimed it had to be his Mac. The router is a cheap Lynksys that I don't think has any built in firewall.
Today I upgraded him to Leopard and hoped that a new version of Safari might clear things up but nope.
Any ideas? I'm completely baffled (nothing new there).

Hi,
Have you tried giving the router a kick? (i.e. turning it off/on )
Sometimes that can do the trick even when another computer connected to it can access the site fine.
