Logging onto sites with passwords issue

the last couple of days i've had problems logging onto sites that have required user names/passwords. the sites i have tried are all sites i have 'prefilled' so to speak and all i have to do is click log on. but lately, they don't allow me on, saying my password is incorrect. i go back in and change the password (with the website), but still i'm unable to log on. this has happened to me with 2 separate sites. any suggestions?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Websites can be coded to perform better with some browsers rather than others. The BB Browser can appear to websites as several different things...that setting is, from within the Browser App, (BBKey > Options > Browser Configuration > Browser Identification). Changing that to another browser might help your BB interact better with some websites. In combination with all of the other configuration settings, you need to find the combination of all of these settings that works best for the sites you are visiting. Sadly, there is no "best advice" to give as each persons needs are different. But, I typically find that changing the Browser Identification often helps -- most often by changing to FF or IE (if those are available to you...the options vary by carrier).
Good luck!

Logging onto sites, blogs, etc.

I'm sure this was covered elsewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it, so please bear with me.
Sometimes I log onto sites that require typing in a word, series of words, or alphaumerics to't indicate that Im not a spam bot. Problem is the graphic with the word/alphanumeric never shows up, thus I can't get into the site to respondor do whatever it is that I want to do.Some of the sites I frequent for purchases have this same problem, so I ca't really respond to the site prompts.
Sorry if it sounds confusing, but I'm not exactly sure what is going n or how to explain it. Thank you for your time and help.

I cannot log onto sites that require my log in and password. I get no error message, fire fox just goes back to the same empty log in screen. this problem is not limited to one site. I reloaded firefox with same results.

When i type in my log in and password and enter, the site either returns to the blank screens or does nothing. This is not limited to one or two sites. all of my financial institutions, electric company, insurance companies, even trying to register here so that i could ask this questions. In this situation, when i hit the register button, nothing happend, its as iff the button is inactive. i had to go to IE to register and post this question. I just tried to enter my new log in and pw on the screen in fire fox and nothing happens. Some sites behave differently when i hit the submit or log in button. the information seems to be transmitted but the screen comes right back to the original log in screen with blank fields. there are no error instructions that something does not match or is missing. then i go to IE and it works.
This started a few weeks ago. I cant identify anything that was added around that time but i tried a system restore and that did nothing. i deleted fire fox and downloaded the latest version 3.6.13 and it is still happening

I can log onto skype with my rightfull password an...

Hello, I try to log onto Skype on an other computer and it says that it's not the right password. So I tried to change it, I received the e-mail and when I follow the link to get my password back it says that my account doesn't exit. How can I do, because my account exists I'm connected with my other computer. Thanks for the help ( sorry for my english)...

You'll need to reset the password that account then before you can transfer these purchases to your iTunes library and your iPhone.

If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Apple support directly by phone and have them walk you through resetting the account information.

Can't log onto Pandora with Safari. I have Safari 4.3, Pandora requires 4.0 or greater. I have cleared my cookies and my cache. Still no good. Any advice?

Hi,
I cannot log onto Pandora suddenly. I have checked and have Safari 4.3. Pandora requires 4.0. I have cleared cookies and cache and still am having no luck. Just started 2 days ago or so. Any advice?

Glad to hear that you found it.
Unfortunately, when we try to help folks...we usually stumble around for ideas, especially when we don't have the "whole picture". Your router/modem security setup was the wild card.
In your case, it was particularly odd that wife's PC could get out to Citrix through the router's firewall, but Mac couldn't.
But I'd be willing to bet that there's a FAQ section at GoToMyPC, that will explain this for you. But when you're up to your ears in alligators...well you know the rest
(Do you have a firewall running on both the Motorola and on the wireless router? Or don't you have a router, as such, and the network is provided using just the Motorola? Something to think about. Two firewalls are not necessarily better than one).
no reply needed...just glad you're "in".

Bash, Curl, and logging into sites with complex passwords [solved]

I'm working on a little script to help check deviantArt messages, but I'm stuck at the moment. Below is the code so far:
#!/bin/sh
#checks your dA messages for you
#FIXME: store username and password in file?
curl -A "Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)" \
--cookie /tmp/cjar --cookie-jar /tmp/cjar \
--data "username=$1" \
--data "password=$2" \
--data "action=Login" \
--location "https://www.deviantart.com/users/login" >/tmp/tmp.html
It works fine with simple passwords, but as soon as it involves special characters like !@#$%^&*(), the following page that's churned out says "Wrong Password" even though the given password is correct. Is curl parsing one of these special characters as a special character (like when merging the input given to the site) or is there something I need to do with any of these special characters before they're passed onto the site?

You might try using the --data-urlencode option instead of the --data option. Special characters should be url-encoded (that funky %20 stuff you see in the URL bar) which --data does not appear to do automatically.

My email provider uses no encryption (no SSL), and does not require me to log onto SMTP with username/password. If I do, it doesn't configure. Please help. NICK

Have never struck this before. Usually email apps give the choice of "No Encryption" (as against SSL). My system will not brook encryption in this form. Also, when setting up SMTP, there is an option for username and password NOT to be added every time the email is accessed. Yet this app requests that you do. If so, then my emails will not work in this form. Other than that, I like it! :-) NICK

Found a bug, Safari log out sites with Private Browsing

When I click Private Browsing, every site I visit with Safari is logged out. When I turn off Private Browsing, I'm automatically logged in. This was not the behavior in Snow Leopard or earlier (I don't believe).
This was driving me crazy...it's a real PITA to log in to every site (including the ones where you're not autosaving the password, such as financial sites, etc.)
I reported it to apple.com/feedback but thougth I'd share it with the community in case anyone else noticed it.

#2 makes sense and that fits with what Private Browsing should be all about
#1 doesn't make sense, since, as soon as you exit Private Browsing a user that has access to the machine, has access to all sites. Accordingly, it's not very private nor secure. In fact the big PRIVATE that appears on the address bar invites curiousity and folks will click it, and be offered the option to end Private Browsing (and thus, full access).
In any event, pre Lion, I believe, this wasn't the case...although now I'm not sure, as I only used Private Browsing a few times.

Cannot log onto internet with one user, fine with admin

Over the past few days, my daughter can no longer access the internet with her userid by cable or wirelessly. The userid connects to the network and can print wirelessly or by cable without difficulty.
The userid can, however, connect to skype without issue so some internet access via some port is still possible.
I use SafeEyes for content control. I uninstalled it to see if this was causing the problem (using the correct procedure to uninstall). There was no change. I have in the meantime reinstalled it.
I am not using any form firewall or anti-virus with the mac.
I have checked the IP address and it is 10.0.X.X with a different IP address than other units connected to my airport extreme.
There are no issues connecting to the internet with under the administrator account wirelessly or via cable so the problem seems to be localized to my daughters userid.
Her macbook is on Mac OSX 10.5.8
Would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this?
Thank you,
Charles

She was connected to my network.
I just found part of the problem.
Turning off parental controls gives her access to the net again. It was working fine until now and still works on my other daughters machine, together with safe eyes, perfectly.
This is a problem since Safe Eyes does not have sufficient time limit control over the mac itself.
At a minimum, however, I still have control over internet access and usage until I find a solution to why parental controls no longer allow internet access for the one user (with or without safe eyes).
Any ideas on how to get parental controls to work properly again. The only settings in place were the time limits.
Thanks,
Charles

SQL Developer and Access with password issue

I have Windows 7 64bits, Developer Version 2.1.1.64 and Access 2007.
Created a MDB file added 2 tables, enabled de system tables and set a password.
I try to configure connection but it gives a "Not Valid Password" error.
I use on username: Admin
And the password I'd set.
What could be the error?
I unset the password and it works fine.

The password I had set was Database password and not user login so maybe there's no hope on this one, for now...

TS4006 Password Issues

The app keeps sayin that my Apple ID or password is incorrect after it is already downloaded and I try to log in. I can't anything that helps with password issues. Can anyone help?

Should be ok now.

Changed Apple ID. Now cannot log onto iCloud

Changed Apple ID. When I try to log onto iCloud with the new ID on my iPhone5, it kicks me out of settings before it completes verification. Did not have this problem on iPad Mini, just on iPhone.

Try resetting it (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release). After it restarts, try again.

Firefox 3.6.13 won't log onto gmail or google accounts, plus issues with hotmail

Running 3.6.13 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Since 3.6.12, I've had hit-or-miss issues being able to log onto my gmail (no, not a password issue). When I tried loading gmail (either through the unsecure or the https version), the connection would often time out, with Firefox telling me the connection was interrupted and/or had been reset. Hotmail would load, but if I selected multiple messages to move or delete, it wouldn't work, and a notice would pop onto my hotmail session, saying that I wasn't connected to the internet.
So I tried Chrome, and the gmail issue wasn't a problem in Chrome. But, sure enough, the Hotmail thing was still an issue in Chrome.
After running through all the suggestions I could find here and elsewhere--including deleting cookies, cache, etc., and creating a new profile, and running in safe mode, and moving to Firefox 4 beta (same issue as 3.6.x), and a total uninstall & reinstall of Firefox--nothing worked. In fact, after upgrading to 3.6.13, gmail wouldn't load at all. I couldn't even log on to any aspect of my google accounts--so, no docs, no calendar, etc.
So I started over, with a system wipe & reinstall of the OS. After initial install of Firefox, it *seemed* to have solved the problem. But soon after--and this was before adding any customizations other than Adblock Plus (which I have disabled on any google domain)--the problem returned. I ran through the troubleshooting again (e.g., deleting cache, cookies, creating new profile, etc.). No luck. Then I realized the culprit might be... JAVA!
Uninstalled java, and lo! and behold, gmail loaded. But hotmail still was problematic. And gmail was still hit-and-miss, and loading slowly when it did work.
So I went to my work computer, which is also running Win 7 Pro 64-bit, and copied all my Firefox files (install directory, profile, etc.) over to my home computer. Y'see, my work computer--despite having all the same settings and software--has no problem with gmail or hotmail. Well, those same settings applied to my home computer still were problematic. And no, it's nothing to do with my home network setup--which hasn't changed since before I started having these issues, anyway.
So I did a complete uninstall of Java on my home system, and voila! Gmail works, doesn't take a whole lot of time to load (though it's still sluggish compared to my work computer). Hotmail is still buggy, but hey--it's hotmail.
Unfortunately, when I then installed OpenOffice, Java was re-installed (and I'm not sure how essential having a standalone java install is for OpenOffice, so I'm holding off on any uninstall) and now I'm back to hit-and-miss gmail.
Long story short, there is something in java (and I've tried version 21, 22, and 23) that is messing up Firefox when it comes to gmail, google accounts, and hotmail. Chrome is not affected by this in gmail or google accounts, but has issues in hotmail. IE8 isn't affected in google or hotmail.
I hate IE8, and I'm not sold on Chrome. Don't drive me away, Firefox.
Prior to my OS wipe & reinstall, other sites that use java--primarily for file uploading, like flickr & photo finishing businesses--were not working with Firefox 3.6.13 or Firefox 4 beta.
Again, clearing cache, clearing cookies, creating a new profile, running in safe mode, uninstalling any individual and/or all add-ons and extensions... none of these was the answer to this problem. Even a fresh OS install didn't quite fix it. Java seems to be implicated in the problem, and I'll be posting this issue over at Oracle's forums, too.
Other computers I have on my home network are affected by this issue, as well, but not all of them, and not to the same degree.

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

others that i know that also have iphones are able to log on, so any help gratefully received, thanks

Hi graceandgirl,
Welcome to the forums... The thing that I would like to bring to your attention is that the safari browser in the iPod is not near the equivilance of a regular computer.
As it can't do flash or some advanced scripts, especially if requried by a the client (in this case your touch) to complete.
Most of the main stream websites I've had no issues with, but again you will run into some issues. And if there are issues, only that website developer can fix them... There's nothing that you can do from your end, you just have to note the websites with this restriction.

iTunes is updated and works fine and I am able to log onto my account. When I go to purchase a song, I get the error message "Your Apple ID has been disabled". I've tried different methods: changing passwords, making a new account with another email address, and emailing itunes tech support. I am curious as to how many others have been experiencing the same issue. When I googled the error, it seemed like it was happening extremely often with many people.
We all love their products, but they always come with a lot of issues and horrible customer support.
My apple Id is [email protected]

My Iphone 4 is telling me the same thing and I believe I figured out what the problem is. I had some fraudulent charges on my itunes account, so I call my bank and disputed the charges. Right after I did that, I started getting the message "Your apple ID has been disabled." I just realized today that the charges are not fraudulent, they are "in app purchases." One of my daughters downloaded the game Top Girl which is FREE, but in the game Top Girl you use money in the game to purchase things. It just so happens that the money you use to purchase things is real money MY Money!!!. My daughter thought she was using play money in the game and had no idea she was using real money. She spent $106.00 buying stuff. Now I have to call the bank and tell them to release the hold and pay Itunes. I'm hoping this solves the problem. Here is the link to learn how to disable "in app purchase" on your iphone or ipad.
