IE fails to store cookies for some web sites

Hi,
I am working on a PHP based website. The problem is IE is not storing the cookies for this site. I have cross checked this that the cookies are being saved in the system for other sites: I was able to login to Yahoo, Gmail and so on..... only my site is
not working. I tried Mozilla Firefox and Chrome and both are working without any issues.
Usually cookies will be stored to "C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies" and I can see cookies for other websites in this directory but not mine.
This is my url: http://md1svcvlnx24/wmsdev/
Is there anything wrong in domain name? but I think a domain name can contain numbers.
Thanks,
Nagaraj

Hi Kelvin,
Thanks for the reply. You cannot access http://md1svcvlnx24/wmsdev/ on internet, its a local environment. Our customers
have just given alias for localhost I think. We can access this instance using our local network and when I try to login to the site, I noticed the cookies not been saving to the system and this happening only for this site, rest OK.
My doubt is: What is the use of giving domain name when calling setCookie() in PHP?
Is it necessary to set domain name when calling this function? We are assigning NULL ("") value to this option when calling setCookie() funcxtion
At present we are calling setCookie() function like below,
setcookie(name, value, expire, '/', ""); Please note that we are assigning null value to domain name (last option). So do we need to assign domain name here? If so how in this case (http://md1svcvlnx24/wmsdev/)?
I really appreciate your suggestion.
Thanks,
Nagaraj

Safari won't display graphics for some web sites

There are some sites that Safari won't display all of the graphics. For instance, nissanusa.com opens to a blank page with a little "feedback" symbol in the lower right corner. Similarly, the infiniti.com page has some text but no graphics. Both pages open fine on Firefox. There are other pages, but I prefer not to have to switch back and forth between browsers. Am I missing a plug-in that I don't know about?

Sorry, Guys. Somehow I screwed up when I installed the new Safari with Leopard. I don't remember accessing the preferences for Safari and thought they remained the same as for Safari 2. However, upon checking, I discovered the "enable plug-ins" box unchecked. Checking it solved all of the web site problems.
Peter, Thanks for your response. For informational purposes, on Safari 3, the "enable Flash" button is no longer hidden in the Mime settings tab. Now it's on right on the advanced page of the Quicktime preferences.
Again, sorry for my screw up and thanks for your help!

I accidently instructed Firefox to remember my passwaord for some web sites. How do I erase it?

I do not want Firefox to remember passwords for some of the web sites that I browse. How do I make Firefox forget the password?

Select "Options" (Or "Settings"/"Preferences") From the Firefox menu on the top left. In the dialogue, go to "Security" and delete the passwords from "Saved passwords". You may also want to change settings from the "Exceptions..."-list.

How can I copy cookies about some web site and paste them into a program's header?

You may know the programme called Teleport Ultra which allows us to download an entire web site and browse offline. There is a forum I want to download but it doesn't allow to see the pages without logging in. So I want to take the cookies after I log in to site, and put them to the programme. How can I do?
PS: I have to re-create it like "cookie: name1=value1 name2=value2;" in the program

Unable to disable cookies in FF 3.6.10 in some web sites

Both cookies boxes are unchecked in FF 3.6.8.
Enter some web sites which over-ride my [no cookies allowed] settings and write unlimited cookies to my hard disk.
What is procedure to block and avoid these unwanted cookies ?
In the past my system has received viruses, worms, trojan horses through spam EMail cookies.
As a result, it is necessary for me to avoid un-necessary cookies, and select only those limited cookies that have come from safe sources.
Do not have this security difficulty with FF 3.0.10.
System is using WIN XP, Trend AntiVirus, ZoneAlarm firewall.
Thank you for your help.

Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

What is missing when I get a blank white screen when I try to Access some web sites?

On some web sites, I get a blank white screen when I try to access them.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > 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

Some web-sites won't let me in, or send me in loops.

I hope this is the correct place to post this question. I have developed a problem with some web-sites that won't let me in. They used to, and I don't really know when the problems started, and it is only some sites. Most are well-behaved, and the same comments apply whether I am using Safari 3 or 4 or Firefox, so it doesn't really seem like a browser problem tome... more a system/set-up problem.
I am currently running OSX 10.5.6 with all the most current updates applied. My machine is a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac, with 4GB SDRAM, linked to the web via a Dynamode router, using a wired Ethernet connection. My wife is running a slightly earlier Intel iMac through the same router... I mention this point as the problems I am asking about do not occur with her machine).
The problem is this, and occurs whether I am using Safari 3 or 4 (my 'preferred' browser), or Firefox. Certain web sites let me in so far, and then either throw me around in loops, or just refuse to take any input on certain pages. Particular ones are
www.emusic.com I choose 'Login' on the 'Start Page', which takes me to the 'Enter Login Details' page. I enter my login details and click 'Submit' and am then thrown back to the 'Start Page'.... which then produces and endless loop...
www.which-local.co.uk I enter my login details on the 'Start Page', click "Login" and am thrown back to the 'Start Page' to enter my login details again... this is again an endless loop...
www.royalmail.com I work through the sequence 'Personal Customers'/Sending mail overseas/Airmail/Buy online now/Overseas and weight/Country(Oman)/Airmail Small Packets - Buy and Print/ Enter login details and Login - Print your postage/Complete the address - Continue... and I'm back to the 'Buy Online Now' page.(Although this latter one is a longer sequence, it is very similar to the other two... there are others... one lets me get to a certain page, then will not accept any text entry on the page.)
www.apple.com I log-in with my Apple ID, and get sent to the Set Up Your Account page (which contains a blue link that would let me cancel my account. I quit there, and go back to the log-in page... just can't get in... unless I do what I havedone to enable me to write this query... that is, to restart under Safe Boot... which is a lot of fuss to get into the forums.
With all these sites, if I do a Restart and a Safe Boot (Shift Key) then the problems all disappear. And as I said earlier, the problems do not occur when I use my wife's machine. This implies to me that there is something in my set-up that is causing the problems, and which is disabled in Safe Boot.
Under OS 9 I would then have gone to the control panels and done a binary search with restarts until I had isolated the process that was causing the problem.
I have deleted Intego Firewall, and Intego Virus Barrier. They are the only major items that seem possible culprits, and which have never been installed on my wife's machine (which runs only under the built-in OSX Firewall that is configured exactly as mine is, allowing access for specific services and applications... among them Safari and Firefox), which seems to have no problems. This doesn't seem to have helped - (though they have been involved in other problems in the past, which have then been resolved). I can think of no way that I can identify what is interfering with both browsers in this way. I have both browsers configured to accept cookies, and not to block pop-ups, as each of these has caused problems with other sites in the past!!.
So where do I go from here!!?

It still sounds like there is a problem with cookies being set. Since you were previously running a virus scanner, did it do something with the cookie databases, such as change their permissions? Don't bother with repairing permissions from Disk Utility, it does nothing inside a user account - for that, you would need to use the Reset Password utility from the OS installation disk.

Can't play videos on some web sites.

Since the last update for Safari I been unable to play videos in some web sites.I checked Safari preferences, under extensions and than list is empty, so I don't have anything that needs updating. Also cleaned cookies, resetted safari, emptied cache and sitll, can't play the videos. No software updates are available and i havent removed anything from my computer (flash player or any other player).
Any idea how to solve this problem? Is it because the new OS Lion, thant Safari changed settings?

I have ipad with IOS 7, Some apps doesn' t work, safari not open some web site. What can I do?

Try this and see if it helps.
Settings>Safari>Clear cookies and data.
Now close Safari completely. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then "swipe up" or "drag up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hi, some web site no longer support Safari 5.1 is there an upgrade I can get or use?

Hi, some web site no longer support Safari 5.1 is there an upgrade I can get or use?

You need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers. If desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
