Safari 3.0.4 in Leopard not accepting cookies for sites I navigate to.

I'm currently using Safari 3.0.4 on Mac OS 10.5.1. And since upgrading to Leopard, I have the following problem:
Safari will no longer accept a required cookie when I try to login to a site that I visit regularly. This behavior was not present with the same version of Safari running in 10.4.x.
Currently, Safari (on 10.5) is set to accept cookies for "sites you navigate to". And as far as I can tell, during the login process, I never leave the domain to which I navigated. When changing the cookie setting to accept All Cookies, the login cookie is accepted as you might expect. And logging in with Firefox 2.x and an equivalent cookie setting, the site works fine.
Strangely, this cookie-blocking behavior is not present in Safari 3.0.4 running on another system which has OS 10.4.x.
Did something change in Leopard, which might cause this behavior?
This is the site I'm trying to login to, as a paid subscriber:

Thanks for any advice or insight!

This exactly describes a problem effecting users on our site - on our test 10.4 machine with Safari 3.04 and blocking third party cookies there's no problem, but on a 10.5 box users have to accept all cookies to login.
Given the time our users started reporting this we think it's related to the security patch of 11th Feb:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307430
With particular reference to this paragraph:
Description: A memory corruption issue exists in Safari's handling of URLs. By enticing a user to access a maliciously crafted URL, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of URLs. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.5.
but that's just an educated guess at the moment - we think our cookies are being blocked as part of this beefed up "validation" - whatever that is.
If anyone else has a similar experience or can offer any further suggestions I'd be very interested to hear from them.

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked the cookies setting 100 times!

Since I did the Firefox reset, I try to open my email and it says, Your browser does not accept cookies. I have checked and done your suggested setting 100 times!

Note that a reset tries to migrate cookies to the new profile, so if you had previously as problem with cookies then the problem might have been carried over.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Google blogs says that my cookies functionality is turned off, but in the privacy section it says "accept cookies from sites until they expire"--so I don't know what the problem is. is

When I go to post on a google blog and it asks me to sign in, I get a message that says that my cookies fuctionality is turned off, but when I go to firefox, to preferences and privacy, "accept cookies from sites until they expire" is checked. I don't understand why I am getting this google message which is preventing me from posting, as it seems that the cookies functionality is properly turned on.

Safari not accepting cookies from Blaze + Spring

Hi,
I have a facebook game with BlazeDS, Spring and Hibernate and in Firefox, Chrome and IE is working perfect.
But in Safari doesn't work.
If I put the Cookie Settings of Safari to Always accept cookies it works.
But if my configuration is in "Only sites I visit" it doesn't work.
The weird thing here is that I visit the page from the game, so clearly it should be accepted.
The Arquitecture of the Game is an Apache with the SWF and then another Server that is running Java with Blaze.
Does anyone have any clue about this?

I followed this thread and I made it work.

Sites say browser not accepting cookies. But preferences set to accept cookies.

Suddenly, web sites I've signed onto several times in the past say I can't sign in because my browser doesn't accept cookies. My preferences are not set to reject cookies. This may not be related, but in addition, when I try to log onto AT&T/Yahoo to retrieve my mail, the site just keeps jumping around and resetting over and over. These things occur on both Safari and Firefox. I changed to Lion about a month ago, but these problems occurred about a week or two afterwards.
I have a Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 running 10.7.3. All software is up to date. Help!

I have a MAC desktop, running Safari 1.5.4. I have logged into one site numerous times with no problem, but now I can't log into it. When I go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy and check, MANY sites are accepting cookies, but not the one I need today -- it has accepted cache and plug-ins from that site. So I went to the Develop area and Show web inspector, and Cookies and it does not show up (which confirms my problem). So I switched cookies to always allow, rebooted, and brought up the site in question again, but that did not solve my problem. This is a huge issue for me. How do I resolve it?

"Flash out of date" comes up, new install, and will not accept Password for install? Next step?

"Flash out of date" comes up, i do a new install, the log-in and password windows pops up, I type in password and it will not accept.
I have changed password, confirmed password, rebooted several times, and it still will not re-insall new version.
I am stuck.
HELP!

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

ICal not accepting times for events

Not sure I'm on the right forum. Posted about this on the MacBook forum but haven't gotten a response there.
iCal recently stopped accepting times for me. When I go to enter an event there is space for only two digits in the time field. I assumed the numbers entered would be for the hour. When the event is entered, however, it turns out that the hour is always 07 and the number entered in the two-digit field is used as the minutes value.
The calendar is not much use to me this way. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Very cool! Thanks for the detailed reply and glad you found the solution. BTW the plist files are property lists files, in short like a preference. Sometimes they can get corrupted however the good news is the solution is very simple. Just do what you did (locate the offending plist and drag it to the desktop) and it will recreate itself.
If you ever want to get really geeky about them here is a more detailed article:

First generation ipad not accepting passwords for wifi

I have a first generation ipad -- 2 weeks ago it stopped connecting to wifi -- I enter the wifi password and it says "Incorrect password" -- I am positive the password is correct. I have restarted, restarted the router, changed the router channel, called tech for my cable router, soft re-boot, hard re-boot, forget this network, reset network settings, and I just completed a complete wipe out of the ipad to start over... same problem, it says "Incorrect password" -- I am beyond frustrated at this point, can someone please offer some insight to this issue?! I have already gone through all the steps listed on previous posts, its like the wifi just stopped working. It will recognize my network but will not accept the password. all other devices in our home work with the same network and password.
Thanks for your help!!!!

When you say 'open up' - do you mean unlock it so a password is not required?

App store will not accept password for updates but will for purchases.

Please advise.

Thanks... I did try that. To add to the mess, I just saw some update on my Macbook Air App Store and it did the same as on my iphone. I would not accept my new password.
I then saw that my iphone had some updates. I requested to update all. It asked for my password and I entered it. It downloaded some of the update but not others and also gave me the message that I put in the wrong password.
Still confused. Thanks for your help.

Password in Mail Snow Leopard not accepted

I have an att.net email address through yahoo and try to use it through mail in snow leopard. However, when I click on the Mail icon, it asks "Enter password for account "smtp.att.yahoo.com:my email address". I use the password I use when I go to my email through yahoo, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions? I hate going through yahoo to get my mail.
Thanks

In Mail > Preferences > Accounts - Account Information
Shows your incoming mail settings
This should set to pop.att.yahoo.com
With your user name and password set.
At the bottom of this window is the outgoing smtp server
Click on the drop down arrow next to your server name and select edit smtp server list
With your server highlighted at the top,
Click on Account Information - Server name should read - smtp.att.yahoo.com
Click on Advanced
Make sure 'Use default ports is checked
Make sure the username and password are correct - retype it to make sure
Click OK
Back in the Accounts window, click on Advanced
Set the port to 995 and tick use SSL
Set the authentication to Password.
If you are still not getting anywhere, log into Yahoo and search their help pages for 'pop email setup' and these settings should be offered to you. I do not have an account there, so I can't check this for myself.
Hope this helps

Safari 4.0.3 - Snow Leopard 10.6.1 - Top Sites visualization issue

Well guys, that's my first post here.
I made a clean installation of Snow Leopard onto my iMac.
The problem is the following :
When in Top Sites and I choose a site with many images, the "fading effect" result in a complete corruption of the image until the page isn't completely loaded. This happens only into Safari, the Desktop is ok.
The VGA is an NVIDIA 130.
Any suggestions?
Regards

Yep - I just started having this exact same problem - going form top sites to some but not all (MacRumors, MacWorld, TUAW have problem; BBC ok) sites results in grey screen with coloured vertical lines. Seems as though once on the site no more problems, and navigating site to site direct does not cause problem. I only get lines when going from topsite.
Started right after 10.6.1 update.
Been through the few suggestions I found (permissions, install, plists) but nothing seems to cure this yet.

File Vault not accepting password for Time Machine external HD

After installing OSX Lion on my wife's MB and encrypting her Time Machine backup (in the Time Machine control panel), my wife and I were both able to successfully mount our external drive using our computers (I have a MBP running Lion).
Recently my machine wouldn't load the external drive even though I had entered the correct password, but her machine would still load it fine.
Now neither of our machines will load the external drive - despite entering the correct password, File Vault doesn't accept it.
Are there any known issues with File Vault 2 encrypted external drives?
Thanks

Are you absolutely sure you're entering the right password, and the caps-lock key is not down? If you are sure, then the drive may be failing. The first thing to do is make another backup to a different drive, if you don't already have one.

Keychain will NOT accept password for email

My wife had a problem w/ her email program, Entourage. After finally getting things squared away, noy she has to enter her password everytime. Keychain won't accept it. I check the box "save password" but it doesn't. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack
iMac, OS 10.5.8, etc

Hi Jack,
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.
