I cannot log out of either my Yahoo or Gmail accounts with Firefox.

This doesn't happen when I use Safari, only Firefox. I have the latest version of Firefox. I have a MAC, OS 10.6.8. I've tried clearing the history, clearing the cache, and clearing all cookies. No dice. When I log out of either program, it seems like it's logged me out, but even if I clear history, etc., quit Firefox, turn off the computer, turn it back on, go to yahoo or gmail two days later, etc., I'm still signed in to my mail account. Any advice much appreciated, thanks.

I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out. I never had any Yahoo mail problems in any of these three browsers until the latest version of Yahoo mail came out, and now I just close the browser to sign out -- it's faster, for me anyway.

I do not want all login ids to show up when i try to log into my hotmail or yahoo or gmail accounts using firefox browser. Is there anyway to prevent any login IDs (not passwords) from showing in sign up page of firefox. I don't want login IDs to show up.

please help and thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

Cannot log out of my Yahoo mail account

After finishing with my Yahoo Mail account I cannot log out and return to my Home page (My Yahoo) and therefore I am unable to open other mail accounts. I have to compltely restart my computer to open another Yahoo Mail account. The problem does not apear in IE. Thanks for your help.

Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Cannot Log Out or Shut Down

After extended sleep mode, I cannot log out and computer will not shut down.
The first symptom of a problem that I noticed was that after waking from an extended sleep (i.e. overnight), the screen saver no longer worked and would not auto-start. I thought this was a problem with the screen saver and called Apple support. During the troubleshooting process, I was instructed to shut down the computer, but could not do so. I was forced to hold power button to force shut down. We ran disk utility and repair permission in an attempt to correct the screen saver issue. After rebooting the screen saver worked, but this issue remained a watch item.
The next day, after the computer awakened from auto sleep mode (overnight), same problem. Screen saver failed to start, I could not start it from the assigned hot corner, and I could not log out or shut down. When selecting log out or shut down, error messages would appear to the effect "log out timed out because Mail would not quit." The Mail program was not active in the dock, and when I tried to Force Quit, it would not display in the list of programs to force quit. I also noticed that Time Machine could not find the external drive. I had to hold down power button and reboot to resume normal operation.
I cannot resolve these problems.
Here is my configuration: Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz with 1GB memory. Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I have an Admin account & parental controlled account. Power save is set to sleep automatically after 1 hour, and screen saver is set to auto-start after 5 minutes. Computer wakes daily at 5:30 am. I have set a password for screen saver. Time Machine is set to "On" to backup to 250GB LaCie Firewire external hard drive. No content barrier software installed. I have removed all programs from Startup folder.
I plan to call Apple support again, but in the meantime, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there EEP1 - I have had the same problem with my Mac Mini for years and cannot solve it either. When my Mac comes awake from sleep Mail usually looks for new mail and hangs indefinitely. I try and quit or force quit and this will stay in the dock. I'm not sure whether Mail is the problem or not, but it seems to take out actions associated with file control in the Finder [saving, quitting, shutting down, force quitting etc.]. It's really frustrating and I'm sure it's not healthy to force restart each time it does this.
Did you manage to call Apple again? Or find any other soloutions? It's a tricky search term to define when looking for advice from forums!
Many thanks, Ben

I want to sign out of current apple id and into another one but I no longer have access to my current email address so I cannot log out

I want to sign out of current apple id and into another one that I own but I no longer have access to my current email address so I cannot log out (It is with an internet provider who I have just unsubscribed with) This is on an iPhone 5S, on iOS 8.1.

That email address is still a valid Apple ID. If you do not remember the passcode, sign onto Manage your Apple ID (Apple - My Apple ID) with that email address, and then click on Reset Password. You will be asked to answer your Security Questions in order to reset the password. If you do not remember the answers to your Security Questions, contact Apple Support to reset them for you:

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

Cannot log out of BT Openzone

I recently purchased a BT openzone package of 4000 minutes over 30 days which has been working fine.
However when I logged in today, it connected fine but now when I click to log out I get this message:
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving https://www.btopenzone.com:8443/home?CPURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.btopenzone.com%2F. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:Reload this web page later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request.
and so now I cannot log out! I have to go to work in a minute and so I am worried that it will keep counting down my minutes although I want to log out! Any suggestions?

While not excusing avoidable shortcomings, I reckon that paying separately for any wifi service is not a good idea unless you can regularly access a hotspot that you know is reliable. Hotspots are notoriously flaky (especially BT Fon, relying as it does on hub owners playing ball), and I regard the service included with BT Broadband as a handy extra rather than a must-have.
A mobile dongle is far more dependable, as is tethering a computer to a smartphone or setting up a phone as a wifi hotspot.

How do I log out of my gmail account with my ipad 1 retina?

Ipad 1
I cannot log out of my gmail account, can you help? I cannot find the log out button.

Are you talking about the native mail app that came with the ipad?
If so there is no log off feature, you simply close out of the mail app.

You don’t need to do that. Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to download software to resolve this issue(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Cannot log out of yahoo mail comletely with firefox for the past two week or so

Recently I have been unable to log out of yahoo mail completely with firefox. I get the following error message: "The connection has timed out. The server at us.lrd.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." I have more than one yahoo mail acct. and cannot log into a different acct until the first one is closed out completely. On the error message page there is "Try Again" button. This has occasionally helped but rarely.
I have tried opening FF in safe mode but this has not helped at all. I have used two other browsers to access my yahoo mail to see it the problem was with yahoo or FF. Both browsers repeatedly logged out of yahoo mail without a problem.

I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out.

Power Button doesn't work and cannot Log Out.

Hi,
Strange thing: my power button does not work and I cannot even log out or restart or shut it down from the menu! Everytime I need to restart, I have to either force it or hold the button for five minutes, but nothing else works!
Your help is much appreciated.
Have a great time!
Best regards,

Hi, bruno7.
1. Have you tried "Mac OS: Apple Pro Keyboard Shortcuts for Shut Down and Restart"?
2. What changes did you make to your Mac before this problem arose?
3. Are you using FruitMenu? If so, check for updates, disable it, or uninstall it.
4. After you next shut down, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
5. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
6. If none of the above, when you attempt to select Shut Down or Restart from the Apple menu and nothing happens, immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues.
Good luck!

Cannot log in to either Disqus or Livefyre since upgrade to 8.1. get 403 error when trying to contact Disqus support.

I cannot log into either Disqus or (it seems) Livefyre. When I attempted to submit a report to Disqus, I get a 403 error code. In Livefyre, when I make comments, they appear on my screen, but apparently not on anyone elses (repeated requests for a ping back from other commenters have gone unnoticed). Oh, version 18.0.1 I am set to receive cookies, and adblocker plus as well as ghostery are set to not block either. This problem started immediately after the v.18.0.1 upgrade was installed.

No, Firefox doesn't touch website accounts, so you don't need to re-register.

Cannot log out of iChat / Bonjour

Hi -- this is a rather strange problem: I use iChat to chat with other people through Bonjour. I have a status icon in my menu bar. I noticed recently that I was unable to sign out of Bonjour. I would disconnect through iChat and quit the application, but the status icon in the menu/status bar would still show all my nearby bonjour buddies and wouldn't let me sign off. This was a problem because people would IM me when I didn't want them to, and the only way to prevent it was to turn off my internet connection.
Foolishly, in an effort to eliminate this distraction for the time being I deleted iChat thinking that I could download it again for free from the apple website. Now I still am visible by bonjour buddies but when they try to chat me I get an error message saying that iChat needs my attention. I cannot log off through the status bar and I can still see other bonjour buddies.
1. Is there any way I can reinstall iChat free of charge?
2. How do I "log off" of bonjour chat?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
1) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1486891
Do the Easy Way and the COMBO Update listed nearer the bottom.
2) Go to the iChat Menu > Accounts and Log Off the Bonjour entry.
B) Go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Disable the Bonjour one.
