I keep getting "cookies are not enabled" when they ARE on my Mac, so can't sign in to Facebook

I use Mac OS 10.5.7 and have for a very long time. I was using a slightly older version of Firefox although I update when prompted. Now I am using Firefox 3.6.13 Although working fine for a very long time w/ no problems, suddenly I cannot get signed into Facebook OR Netflix because I get an error message saying my "cookies are not enabled in browser". They ARE enabled, and I've repeatedly emptied the cache, rebooted, quit and restarted Firefox, changed passwords for Facebook. NOTHING gets me in.

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> and <b>cookies.txt</b>, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Error message says cookies are not enabled when they are...HELP!!!

    I've been delaying trying to solve this problem.  I have a power mac g4 currently running 10.5.8.  After installing this back in august of last year I have been unable to fully go on some sites because I get an error message that says my browser is not configured to accept cookies.  Problem is  both firefox and safari are enabled to accept cookies. Then when I try to log into yahoo mail the url is refreshing but yahoo mail site is not opening. Now, I have re-installed 10.5, I have reset safari, emptied the cache, deleted cookies and nothing has worked.  My computer doesn't have a virus and I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out.  I never had these issues prior to installing the new system.  I appreciate any help with this problem.

    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

    By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Contacts are not appearing when they are imported after wipe!!! HELP!

    I have a Z1 running 4.4 and so far this is the most annoying bug ever!
    This has happened after I tried to do a full wipe on SUS!
    It seems that after I import my contacts from my sd card, everything is okay. However, I use an HD Contact app which often requires me to wipe my contacts list a few time just to refresh the photos.
    When this wipe happens, my contacts do not anymore appear on my list even though the system says "Contacts added/imported"
    My list remains blank except for the "Emergency Number" and "Myself" entries.
    My god!
    I have tried to run it on Safe Mode, hard restart, reboot, force stop the Contacts app yet nothing seems to work!
    The only solution is a full wipe again and again.
    This has never happened before the 4.4 update or when I tried to reinstall 4.4 via SUS.
    Is anybody having the same dilemma? I could really use some help

    Hi, 
    Have you checked the filtering option in contacts? Open contact menu button > filter. Perhaps you have a filter hiding the contacts.

  • Skype emoticons are not showing when they are ight...

    Just like the subject says when i try to put a emoticon and not leave at least one space  between the emoticon and the text it won't show the emoticon, it will only show the shortcode like: " (kiss)hey" and not the actual emoticon. If i leave space between them the emoticon will show up like usual. If anyone can help me to solve this i will be very thankfull.

    Unfortunately, this is how it behaves now on the latest Skype versions (at least on 7.1 and 7.2). With the older Skype 6.21 it was possible to send emoticons and text without separating them by a blank space.

  • Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesturday but not now, any help

    Some websites keep asking to enable cookies in my browser when they are and I can't get this sites to see that, they worked fine yesterday but not now. I've restarted the browser, restarted the computer, disabled then enabled cookies in the privacy settings and still nothing. Any help?

    Hi,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • I keep getting " server did not reply " when sending picture in email from iPhoto ?

    MAC/ Yosemite / Iphoto :  I keep getting " server did not reply " when trying to send picture using the email function in iPhoto ?

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello:
    I am not being critical, but you seem to want Safari to behave exactly like Chrome.  Every software developer has a plan.  Sometimes features in one product parallel other products - sometime not.  There might be some things available that would help you.  Do not hold your breath, however, for suggestions from people who use these forums.  Most of us use (and like) Apple products.  If you wish to make suggestions for future improvements, there is a feedback area on this web site that Apple employees read/review.
    Candidly, your approach would be akin to suggesting that Apple emulate the "features" in Windows (heaven forbid).
    I use Safari (and have for years).  I use Firefox (not a bad product) as my alternate browser.
    Sorry for what appears to be a pedantic lecture.  However, I think most of us adapt to different products if we really want to use them.

  • Why do the "SHOW THE PREVIOUS PAGE arrows not work on some websites such as when I try to return to the previous page the arrows at the top right of the page are not dark black they are light grey and do nothing---HELPPPP

    why do the "SHOW THE PREVIOUS PAGE arrows not work on some websites such when I try yto return to a previous page the arrows at the top right of the page do not work instead they are light grey instead black and do nothing---this is frustrating to not be able to return to the page before--HELP

    If a page you go to opens in a new tab, there is no 'back' to go to. If that is the case, just close the tab and you'll be at the page you came from.

  • When trying to connect with another iPad or iPhone user it tells me they are unavailable even when they are

    I am having trouble connecting with people on FaceTime.  When I try to connect with them using their email address it will come back saying they are not available when I know they are.

    The question is, Do they have the emai address that you are using configured as a, "You can be reached by Facetime at:" in Settings > Facetime?
    Of course they may be just choosing not to accept your call.

  • TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working.  They are the numbers 1 through  9.  I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

    Hi,  I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up.  I have worked on it recently with no problems.  Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not  working properly.  The numbers 1 through 9 do not work.  I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good.  Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work.  The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly.  I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me.  What should I do?

    Hi:
    I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
    I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again.  The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair.  If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected.  If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin. 
    Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables.  I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger.  I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
    I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one.  If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
    I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense).  I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items.  When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens.  The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info."  At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section.  You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad. 
    After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
    If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options).  Me being me, I try never to erase anything.
