I can't log in to my hotmail account because of third party cookies being disabled

I changed my cookie settings because of a bank site that I needed to use to make an e-deposit. In order to do that, I had to enable 3rd party cookies. After I did that, I can no longer access my hotmail (outlook.com) e-mail account. I can't sign in to my account on Firefox, but I can on IE. Firefox is my default browser and I'd like to be able to sign in. Also, every single site I go to pops up a little window that asks me about accepting cookies.

It sounds as though you have the cookie duration set to "Ask me every time" which is a good way to drive yourself crazy (I used it for years myself). I suggest accepting cookies until you close Firefox. This prevents sites from recognizing you between restarts of Firefox. To make this change, go to:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Please see the attached screen shot.
To allow an individual site to remember you longer, you can customize its permissions. One way is to use the Page Info dialog. While viewing a page on the site you want to have this custom permission, use either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
Uncheck the "Use default" checkbox and choose "Allow". Then the site should be able to keep you logged in between sessions. This might not take effect until the next time you start Firefox.
Does that help?

I can't log out of my guest account because DLconnectMonitor won't turn off. How do I turn it off?

I am planning on lending one of my Mac products to a friend so she can watch our Easter service on FaceTime. In preparation for this, I logged into the guest account and found the administrator had to give permission for the guest to use FaceTime and DLconnectMonitor. It looked like this had to be done for the guest account to work at all, so I gave permission. When I went to log out of the guest account, I couldn't becauseDLconnectMonitor would not turn off. I can't even find it on my computer. Does anybody know how I can turn it off and log out of my guest account?

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

My keyboard is writing in Greek? even though the settings and fonts say it's writing in standard Apple font? I can't log into any of my accounts, because even though I type the password correctly, the keys are writing and beings submitted in Greek...HELP.

My keyboard went nuts...I got on my MacBook today after not using it for about 24 hours, and the fonts all changed to like Greek. No matter where I am at (web browser, word document, etc). I even went into settings and fonts, and it says it is using Arial or some other standard "Apple" font, but the keys continue to write in Greek.
It gets worse-I logged out thinking I just needed to reboot...but now I cannot get back in because it's still not writing correctly. What's even weired (and I have no idea if this is related or not) but my Capslock Key and my Delete key have like switched roles...ALSO, when I press down the "A" key (as there is an "A" in my password) the keyboard writes it 3 times...even though I only hit it once. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE. I am a full-time student and need my computer for homework.
I'm locked out AND if I do get in, the font it still messed up as well as the Delete and Capslock keys...

It sounds to me like your keyboard has been damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced. Can you try an external keyboard?

ICal can't log in to your "iCloud" account because your password may be incorrect.

I keep getting this message. please help

I'm running OSX 10.7.4 and I keep getting this message, too. My calendar is sycing, but, often, after I accept a meeting invitation, the meeting disappears from my calendar! So, I have to go back and re-accept the meeting -- and hope I don't get the error message again.
The only thing I have found to work is to quit iCal before accepting a meeting planner. That approach (which is obviously not convenient or user-friendly) doesn't always work, however. I occasionally get the same error message.
I know my Apple ID and password entered on the system are both correct. For one thing, my contacts have synced in Address Book across my devices. It's just iCal that appears to be the problem (again).
Any other thoughts as to what's going on and how to fix avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance.

ICal can't log in to your "MobileMe" account because your password may be incorrect

I changed everything over from MobileMe to iCloud and now I'm getting this message. Does anyone know of a solution?

I was having this exact same problem. Everything was working fine before updating to iCloud.
I quit iCal and restarted and everything seems to be ok!

If I try to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox, Hotmail says my Hotmail account doesn't exist, while I can problemlessly log in in other browsers

When I open Hotmail in Firefox and try to log in, Hotmail says my account doesn't exist. But I can problemlessly log in in other browsers, so I'm sure there's no problem with my account. Further, I'm absolutely sure I didn't misspell anything. Before this problem occured, I've always been able to log in to my Hotmail account in Firefox. I've already tried clearing my cookies and history, but it still doesn't work.

Do you have stored any form fill data or passwords for live.login.com?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Every time I want to log in to my Hotmail account I have to type my password over again, and every time I log in I try to save my password. I have tried hundreds of times, but it seems impossible. What am I doing wrong?

When A person want to log in to a hotmail account to read or send an E-mail, one have to enter the e-mail adress and password. There is also a small square you can mark i you want Firefox to save your password so that you don't have to enter password every time you log in to the e-mail account (in this case hotmail)
Every time I log in to hotmail I mark the square so that Frefox will save my password, but my password has never been saved. I'm so tired of always having to enter my password, over and over again.
What do I do wrong? How can I solve tis problem?

* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Why am I getting redirected to the MSN homepage (when logging out of hotmail) with third party cookies not enabled? And why are exceptions to cookies being cleared in private browsing mode?

I have the latest version of Firefox, I use Private browsing with Allow cookies but not third party cookies. Recently I have begun to be redirected to the MSN homepage after logging out of hotmail and whenever I add MSN cookies to the exceptions in cookies the list gets deleted. Can anyone tell me why, when blocking third party cookies should prevent that?

Two initial thoughts:
(1) If you look at the cookie names and content in the View Cookies dialog, are they the ordinary scramble of different names and values, or do they look like "opt-out" cookies? Some security software or add-ons may restore opt-out cookies after you clear them.
(2) If you have any extensions that make requests to those sites, it's possible they are bypassing private browsing mode, although I would hope not. Hmmm.
Unfortunately, unlike history where you can see the time that an entry was added, it is difficult to figure out when a cookie was set. But there are many cookie add-ons that might provide insight.
Alternately, you could go directly to the cookies.sqlite database using the SQLite Manager extension. This is on the nerdy side, but manageable.
(1) Install SQLite Manager from: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
(2) The extension adds an item to the Tools menu. If you do not normally use the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key to display it temporarily or press Alt+t to pull down the Tools menu.
SQLite Manager may suggest a particular database, particularly on your second and later uses. You can skip that and it will open a new window.
(3) On the toolbar (first screen shot), choose the cookies.sqlite database and click Go. This should display the database entries for all your cookies (second screen shot).
(4) Select the following SQL query text:
SELECT host AS Site, datetime(creationTime/1000000,'unixepoch') AS Created, datetime(expiry,'unixepoch') AS Expires
FROM moz_cookies
ORDER BY creationTime, host
(5) Click the Execute SQL tab, paste the query, then click Run SQL. You should get a list of sites in order by the date their cookies were set (third screen shot).
Are the dates all fresh? If they are older, something may be rolling back your cookie clearing.

How can i see when someone has accessed my call/text log. (This is possible on google) I have been informed that someone has accessed my activity log and is giving my information to a third party. I believe it is a service tech, but I am not interested in

How can i see when someone has accessed my call/text log. (This is possible on google/gmail) I have been informed that someone has accessed my activity log and is giving my information to a third party. I believe it is a service tech, but I am not interested in persuing that further. I just need to see when my account has been accessed if possible.

Hi lynniewigs,
This is a common concern among Android and I-phone user, and one of the drawbacks to using a smart phone. We lose so much privacy. Our phones become cameras into our homes for us to be spied on.
I don't know what type of phone you have, if it is even a smart phone, but here is an example of an application that you can use to determine which applications are accessing your information and sending it out.
Permission Scanner - Android Apps on Google Play
Google just recently revamp their permissions geared to hide invasive applications that spy and send out your information without your knowledge. Report says be aware of what your Android app does - CNET
Please continue to be mindful of the apps you download and the permissions you give.

I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top. Is it because of my operating system? I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8?

I can't log into my mobile me account from my lap top. Is it because of my operating system? I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8? Every time I try to enter my data in on the control panel I get an error that says; "Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password." I know the name and password is correct because I can log in via the Web.

Apple discontinued it on June 30, 2012. Many of its services are now provided by iCloud; anything which connects specifically to MobileMe won't work.

I can't forward emails from my hotmail account on my iPad.

Hi there. I'm hoping someone can help me. I can't forward emails from my hotmail account on my iPad. When I try to click on more it won't open up. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Can't log in to me BBTalk Account, can't reset pas...

I seem to have come a bit unstuck, I can't log in to my BBTalk account but also can't reset the password?
It's more than possible that I have forgotten the password, unfortunately the password reset page won't accept my entry. It claims that either the number entered or the email address entered is invalid.
I've cycled through every email address I've ever owned and not one of them seems to be valid. The phone number is definitely valid (given that I can ring it ;-))
Any of the mods able to shed light on why?

Never mind, got it sorted!
Account is still set up against the account number for my old house (why?) so the email address was one I'd completely forgotten about.
In other news: there seems to be a BBTalk outage. DNS is resolving but none of the addresses in the A records are responding.
