Safari 3.2.1 and hotmail, I have to enter password twice, every time

The title says it all, this has been going on for months. I go to the hotmail login page entering everything correctly but hotmail will say password incorrect enter the same details again & I'm in.
Emptying the cache makes no difference.
Any ideas ?

Hi
This may be an issue due to your Internet Provider or corrupt cookies.
Let's try the Cookies side first. Open Safari. Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. enter live.com in the spotlight panel. Remove the hotmail cookies that appear.
Close the panel and try logging on to Hotmail.
If no go, first go to the Hotmail log-in screen, Next in the Develop Menu (if one doesn't appear in your Menu Bar, go to Safari Preferences>Advanced panel and activate it at the bottom of the panel) go to the User Agent and change it to Firefox. Now log-in to your account.
Another alternative I've seen for working around this problem is to signing out first on http://mymsn.com (create a bookmarks bar entry for easy access to that page), then go to the HotMail page and log-in.
Hot Mail has historically been a bit of a flake in the web mail domain. Many have switched to G-Mail. consider doing the same.

  • Have To Enter Password Twice to Log In to Snow Leopard on my iMac

    *Why Do I Have To Enter My Password Twice to Log In to Snow Leopard on my iMac?*
    It just started happening a couple of weeks ago but I have no idea what I changed at that point.
    There's a normal login screen where you can choose a user and enter a password. Then it goes to a completely blank screen for a few seconds and the same login scree reappears and I have to choose the user and enter the password again. Then it logs in.
    What is going on? HOw do I fix it?
    (please note that I do not want automatic login to one of the user accounts - I want to use this as a protection against access to my computer should someone steal it etc...)
    Thanks

    What do you mean a "more fuller update" from software update? Do you mean the updates I automatically get from apple software update are not actually the latest snow leopard updates? I'm very confused.
    No that is not what I was saying. Read all about the Snow Leopard combo update for yourself - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
    they're generally pretty useless and typically solve most problems by saying to reinstall everything.
    That has never been my experience with Apple Care the few times I have used it.
    This may be a user forum, but I'm pretty confident there are Apple staff helping people out on here.
    Not the case here. Hate to bust your confident bubble. These forums are strictly user to user.
    "Apple staff" do chime in from time to time in the Feedback forum area if you are having problems with the discussion website. Never for technical issues. Read the Terms Of Use.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • When I updated my Mac, it won't connect to the internet when I've closed all Safari windows. I have to restart the computer every time to make it work.

    Every time I update my Mac different problems occur. This time when I got an update notification, I went ahead and updated what it wanted. Now when I'm done browsing the internet and close the windows and try to open a new one, it says the internet isn't working. I checked the network diagnostics and it says everything is working fine. I've noticed I have to restart my computer every time to get it the internet to work now. This never happened before I did the update.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
    In safe mode, launch Safari and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

  • I wish to reset my ipad.  However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

    I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen..  However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this?  I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode.  I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

    The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Probably should've searched around a bit more. Just saw a similar forum post to my own in which redownloading and burning solved another user's similar issue. As of now I've redownloaded the 64-bit ISO, burned it, and so far so good (at 72% extracting files). I will repost here if it was a success in hopes that other users with a similar issue find this and benefit from it. Hope I didn't just waste anyone's time with a question that had already been answered (haha)

  • I paid for exportpdf and everytime i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable.  how can i export only form fields that were filled in?

    i paid for exportpdf and every time i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. Some forms can't be saved so having to log in and only use webtool to upload a saved pdf won't work.
    as well, how can i export only form fields that were filled in if I can get pdf to save to computer?

    Hi kstine,
    I can see why that would be frustrating! Have you tried selecting Stayed Signed In underneath the Adobe ID and Password boxes when you try to log in?
    What did you use to create the PDF form? If you used FormsCentral, form data is saved to your online FormsCentral account. If you have Acrobat, you can export form data as described  here: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Manage form data files

  • I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. How do I get it to stop?

    I am recording with Logic Pro X, using my Yamaha XS8 keyboard as a Midi controller. I also have a Thunderbolt Display. Every time I play and release a note on the keyboard, the Thunderbolt Display speaker emits a doink sound. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop? My sound is running through the Saffire Pro 40 Interface (Focusrite) into external speakers with powered amps.
    Also, When I record I am hearing little pops in the system. I have checked all of my meters and they are not clipping. What is causing it and how do I get it to stop?

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • I can't get into iTunes or apps on my iPad or iPhone. It never excepts my password and tells me to reset my password. Well I have changed my password about 15 times and still I have trouble entering iTunes or apps.

    I am having problems getting into iTunes and Apps. The message says for security you must request a new password. I have changed my password so many times I have given up on iTunes and Apps

    Don't fight it
    Walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for help there....it's their job
