Safari and Bank of America

I am NEW to Mac. I have a MAC Pro 10.4.9. Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). For the first couple of days all was fine then my Bank of America log-on would no longer work. I can open the home page for Bank of America but when I type in my ID and it attempt to go to the Site Key page I get the following error:
Bad request
Your browser sent a query this server could not understand.
Even though Bank of America doesn't include Opera as a supported browser, I have been using it for years on my PC. I also was using Opera on the MAC and it too no longer works. I made no updates and installed no software.
Of coarse, Bank of America blames Apple and Apple blames my ISP. Apple had me reset permissions and reinstall Safari...no fix. It still works fine on my Windows box. Any help would be appeciated. Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,
1st verify that you have cookies enabled for your Safari browser. Mine are set to always accept cookies and I am able to log into BofA without a problem.
To isolate the problem on your Mac, I recommend you try logging into BofA using another account. If you can access BofA from another account, then the problem is likely to be with either the Safari preferences or the cookies.
If the new user account works, then I'd experiment with deleting existing cookies (1st those associated with BofA) and try disabling Safari's preferences ... careful not to delete you bookmarks.
If you decide to try disabling the Safari preferences
(1) quit Safari
(2) move ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist to your desktop and run Safari
If the preferences have no effect, you can put them back. If that solves your issue, you'll probably have to trash them and start from scratch ... unless you or someone else can isolate the problem.

  • 10.4.11 Security update and bank of America

    I installed the update last night. I attempted to access my Bank of America credit card account today. When I try sign in at the "enter online ID" step, I get a page the says: "Bad request, your browser sent a query that this server could not understand".
    I have tried sign-on with Omniweb, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Cleared cache, cookies and history.I repaired permissions (after the update only), and used Macjanitor as well. Bank of America says that I must have installed a new firewall. By the way, I tried a sign-on with my kids Windows computer and that works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    I think I found the problem. BOA uses Macromedia Flash ( I think) on it's site. I went to my system library and deleted all preferences for Macromedia Flash and viola: I can sign on again. Perhaps this will help someone else.

  • EBill and Bank of America

    Is anyone receiving an eBill in Bank of America for their Verizon Wireless account? If so, what are your Secure eBill, Auto Pay, and Papperless Billing settings in your Verizon account set to?
    I have been trying for weeks to set this up and every time I try to request my ebill from Verizon in BoA I get this email response from BoA
    We're not able to activate e-Bill service for Verizon Wireless (account ***********0001) because: Verizon Wireless is unable to process your request for eBill enrollment, as your subscriber account is not currently eligible to participate. Please contact Verizon Wireless for details (W)..
    Common reasons for this problem include:
    Billing and service address inconsistencies. You should always use your service address, not your billing address, when enrolling for e-Bill.
    Wrong account number. Make sure you use the correct account number when enrolling for e-Bill.
    Primary and secondary account holders. Make sure you are using the primary account holder's information (such as name, Social Security number, or tax ID).
    e-Bill enrollment at your biller's website. In some cases, billers don't allow you to register for e-Bill at Online Banking if you're already enrolled at the company's website.
    I have tried all kinds of settings for Secure eBill, Auto Pay, and Papperless Billing. Does anyone know how to get Verizon Wireless eBills working in BoA?
    Thanks.

  • BAFF Format - Bank of America Format - Any SAP program to generate it

    One of customers have a requirement to make electronic payments to vendors. The DME file should be in Bank of America format (BAFF).
    The guide reads :
    Welcome to the STP Guide for the BAFF Payment file format. This guide has been customized to provide information related to the
    specific countries and transaction types your company has requested.
    Bank of America provides electronic data interchange services to clients as a means of effecting payments and collecting funds via direct debit. Clients have the opportunity to realise the benefits of STRAIGHT THROUGH PROCESSING (STP), by applying both
    standard and Bank of America defined formats and keywords.
    STP has been developed at Bank of America as a result of significant systems investment over many years. The formats are almost entirely based upon industry-accepted formats. However, a few keywords have been especially designated by Bank of America to enable clients to effectively communicate their funds transfer routing requirements. Our Clientu2019s adherence to the use of these keywords ensures the maximum opportunity to realise the benefits of STP whilst accessing a wide range of clearing systems and diverse funds transfer and collection services available through Bank of America.
    I have tried with program RFFOUS_T - Payment Medium USA - Transfers/Bank Direct Debits in ACH Format. The output generated is no where near to the format.
    Does anyone know whether SAP supports such format or any program that will help to generate the DME file from the payment run ?
    Regards,
    Santosh Puthran

    Hello,
    I am also doing this piece for Bank of America/ Citigroup/Wells Fargo, i saw this post from your side, is it something I could get the solution regarding the DMEFormat your are looking for Bank of america?

  • Unable to link Bank of America account to Paypal

    I have read other posts on the subject, but I am still having the same problem:
    I am trying to link my Bank of America account to Paypal, but I continue to get the message "You cannot add a bank at this time". I realize BoA has 3 different routing numbers (paper/electronic/wire), but I have tried all three and keep getting the same message. I've also tried changing the name of the bank to "BofA", "BoA", "Bank of America" and "Bank of America, N.A.". None of these options work. Any suggestions?

    I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I've contacted paypal several times, they always give me some bs answers like my bank account is a payoneer virtual account(it's not! it's a traditional one!), or sometimes they say it's my bank whose not allowing the linkage. I contact my bank account and they say it must be an error on paypal's end. I'm so frustrated right now, paypal isn't doing anything.

  • Accessing Bank of America website on Safari for pc

    I have a HP laptop and I prefer to use Safari over IE.  I can access the Bank of America website; but, I can't enter my passcode in the field.  I can see the cursor blinking, but when I type, nothing appears and the cursor doesn't move.  I don't have this issue with IE or Firefox.  I tried getting support from Bank of America and they went over everything with me and stated all my settings are correct; they recommended I contact Apple since I'm not having this issue with the other browsers.
    Also, when I try to Empty Cache, Safari freezes up and I have to use Task Manager to close out Safari.
    Any suggestions or help?
    Thank you.

    Perhaps switch to a different user agent prior to visiting the site (perhaps try one of the iOS ones):
    To get access to the User agents via the Develop Menu, go into your Safari advanced preferences and select "Show develop menu in menu bar":
    If you can enter your password while using a different user agent, log out again, and try going in using the default 5.1.5 user agent. Does 5.1.5 perform properly with the field now?

  • Safari and Internet Banking

    Hi there,
    Ever since 10.3.9 update, i realized that my safari has been having troubling with my internet banking. Logging in is just fine, everything pops up fine. But once i click on the navigation bar on the left, the screen jumps to the e.g bill payments WITHOUT the navigation bars. So I cant navigate anymore from this point onwards. Just the website security times-out. I never had this problem before 10.3.9
    Is it something to do with Java 1.4.2 ?
    I have delete the whole safari and also tried out the solution from Apple Knowledge Based, and then download the safari and then update the 10.3.9 again. Didnt work.
    I can't afford to upgrade to Tiger at the moment, if that solves the problem.
    Does Safari has problem wit Microsoft Exchange Servers ?
    Because i noticed recently, i have the similiar navigation problem when i log on to my university website , where the navigation bar dissapears when i move on to the next screen.
    Hope some one can help. Last few months being away from home, I had to resort to find a windows computer to do my banking and check on my lecturers via the web.
    Thanks.
    regards,
    Siva

    Hello Freelancer:
    Unfortunately some web developers do not write code to standards - worse yet, they occasionally use Microsoft (IE) specific extensions. I always inform the web sites in question that there are problems - some fix them, some do not.
    What bank do you use? There are many banks that have excellent web sites that work well with Safari. I personally use Bank of America, but I do not know where you are located so I cannot advise further.

  • Safari 1.3.2 - can't access Bank of America website

    Since installing Safari 1.3.2 (and also the most recent security update) I can no longer access the Bank of America website. I had to switch over to Internet Explorer to get on there.

    Ed R --
    Welcome to Apple Discussions !
    Are you saying you cannot even load that website???
    Simply accessing the site works fine for me . . .
    But I didn't try to log in, as I do not have an account there.
    After doing the update,
    did you repair permissions?

  • Safari 3.2.1 and Banking Sites BUG

    The 3.2.1 Update causes many banking sites to stop working due in part to the supposed anti-phising features that were introduced and working in 3.2.0.
    Apple and banks need to sort this issue urgently and release update!!
    This issue is for this version only all other versions get 5* Anyone got any help/Fixes or is this a huge issue affecting many....
    UK first direct are aware but other banks I use are not and wont act on this..
    "The latest Safari update from Apple which was released on Monday 15 December 2008 appears to affect some first direct customers. If you download this update, you may be unable to access Internet Banking via Safari.
    We are working hard to resolve this."

    Hi all,
    Yes, I get the following message from HSBC (parent company of first direct):
    Issues with Safari Browser 3.2.1
    The latest Safari update from Apple which was released on Monday 15 December 2008, is affecting some customers. If you have downloaded the new version you may not be able to access Internet Banking.
    We are working hard to resolve the problem.
    You will be able to access Internet Banking by downloading Firefox.
    I also use Lloyd/TSB and don't seem to have any problems with either, although occasionally eitherh of them might 'crash' whilst I'm browsing my accounts, although thankfully this is not very often.

I disputed every one saying that reporting late after I filed was an attempt to collect a debt under automatic stay jurisdiction of a U.S. Federal BK Court. TU & EQ promptly cleaned them all up, while EX refused. As a result I get an "A" for payment history on TU & EQ with no lates, while I get an "F" on EX w/30 some lates. Hopefully this will get EX to clean up their act.

  • Bank of America requires Firefox 5 on Mac for their CashPro online treasury management. I need to find version FF 5.0 to download and install. Help!

    Bank of America requires Firefox 5 on Mac for their CashPro online treasury management. I need to find version FF 5.0 to download and install. Help! I just need a link to version 5.0 so I can install it. The website throws and error when using 6.0.#. BofA Tech Support said I needed to downgrade and that was the ONLY solution. I hate large corporations. If someone could provide the link I would appreciate it.

    All versions:
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    BUT keep in mind that the older versions aren't supported any longer and are missing hundreds of security patches that are in the latest versions of Firefox.
    thank you

  • Script error, when leaving Bank of America website and others

    Using Windows 7 Home version and latest firefox 13.0.1, issue is a script error message when closing browser down, to continue to close, you click on "OK". Happens every time you leave a httpS website such as Bank of America. There are no crash reports being created by Firefox, therefore no ID.
    Get firefox.exe- Application Error popup dialog box

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • HT201304 I have been trying for two weeks to log into iTunes using my Bank of America Visa Debit card but no progress. Is it that iTunes does not use debit card, I only have a debit card and  Not credit card, so does it mean I can't use iTunes .?

    I have been trying for two weeks to log into iTunes using my Bank of America Visa Debit card but no progress. Is it that iTunes does not use debit card, I only have a debit card and  Not credit card, so does it mean I can't use iTunes .?

    I believe if you haven't already setup an itunes account, if you have access to computer with iTunes installed , you can create an iTunes account on that computer with no credit/debit card and then just buy iTunes cards at your local retailer to get credits.

  • Safari won't let me pay bill in Bank of America

    My Bank of America account works fine if I use Internet Explorer. Safari seems to work fine except that after listing bills to be paid, Safari does not highlight the "Pay Bills" button. The button remains dark. I've trashed preferences, ran permissions etc. Any body got any ideas. Thanks

    1. There are no viruses for Mac. There is currently one trojan, but the latest security update from Apple is taking care of that. Additionally, you can take a look at these:

    I do not have any anti virus software on my Mac; if there is ever a virus, I will use ClamXAV (free). Your computer's worst enemy is, frankly, the user who downloads things they don't know, possibly from questionable sites. Microsoft viruses can't do your Mac any harm since they can't read the Mac OS to do harm; however, you could unwittingly be forwarding one in an email to a PC friend. I don't forward attachments unless I know the source.
