Safari 'Not Certified" for use on Federal website

The Federal Student Aid, FAFSA website does not support Safari. It support financial aid at most colleges nationwide as well, involving millions of students. They suggest installing another brower. This is outrageous! Like I would buy another car just for toll roads. Knowing Apple's propensity for industry standards, I can't believe it is a problem with Safari. FAFSA actually suggested I send my feedback to a P.O. box.
The site is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
Go to Step2, "Filling out a FAFSA"
So what's the deal? Is Apple at fault? Intending to do something about it?

Hi MagneStar,
While it doesn't address the problem at hand, a workaround might be to change the user agent in Safari. To do this, first enable the Debug menu by quitting Safari and issuing the following command in Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/)...
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Run Safari and in the Debug menu, select 'Netscape 7.2' under the User Agent drop-down menu. I tried it with a handful of browser IDs, but among the limited set I tried, Netscape 7.2 seemed to work. I'm not sure if you'll gain full functionality, but try it and let us know how it goes.
Note that it is often the case that it is an active choice on the part of the website administrator to disable the use of Safari on his/her website. There might not necessarily be anything technically wrong with Safari which prevents it from viewing the site. From that point of view, it might not be Apple's fault per se.

  • App store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. Says: Account not in Store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing.

    My app store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. I already moved to the Philippines for about a year ago and my stores still won't change its location.
    I already changed the region/country in my apple id. I tried to sign out and sign in back to my account. Tried it in app store, in itunes store, in settings app, in itunes in my laptop, in the apple website. It shows that my apple id is already set to Philippines, no matter where I sign in my account.
    The problem is when I open my app store (or itunes store) in my iphone, it appears that it is in the Philippines store; however, when I sign in my account (and I tried to sign in everywhere), I cannot download any app from the Philippine store. When I try to download an app, it always says "Account not in this store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing." I have read everywhere and most of the answers say that it should automatically direct me to the correct store. It doesn't happen to me, apparently.
    I have the same problem in both my iPhones. Both are iPhone 3GS and in version 5.1.1. I don't want to upgrade to iOS6 so please don't tell me to do so. Thanks!

    Whenever I updated or downloaded a new app from the App Store, a message appears saying:
    "Account Not In This Store
    Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the Swedish. store before purchasing."
    I made some research online and asked a few of my friends with the same problem. All they did was sign out of iTunes from settings>iTunes & App Stores or from the App Store itself and signed back in. It worked for many of them but not with my iPhone 4s. It really does get on my nerves to always sign out and back in to the App Store as it sometimes works and allows me to update and download or most of the time it doesnt.
    When viewing my Apple ID account on my iPhone (after entering the password) it either views my account or says:
    "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the U.S. iTunes Store. You will be switched to that Store. Try your purchase again."
    So I press on OK then either switches me to the App Store app of its choice, or says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
    I tried restoring iOS6 hoping it was a bad installation, but i still have the same problem.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Arian

    Are you sure your AppleID is NOT tied to the US store? If you are trying to buy an app from the Swedish store you will be unable to do that. Some apps are only available on certain stores. That is why you get the "Cannot connect to the iTunes store" message when trying to buy that app. Your updates are being done from the US store ; thats why you can update sometimes and sometimes not.
    If you keep encountering problems contact iTunes support. They will help you sort it out.

  • Why do I get the message when I try to purchase an app or song on itunes using my iPhone5? "Account Not In This Store. Your account is not valid for use in the U.S. store. You must switch to the New Zealand store before purchasing."

    This problem has only just started happening. I am on an iPhone5 iOS 7.0.4.
    Very frustrating. Can someone please tell me why & where the change has occured and how to fix it? In the past I have purchased many apps and songs on itunes and never had this problem.

  • This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID

    hi
    i had two apple accounts
    and just wanted to change the primary email address for the both with each other
    when i changed the first one my old email cant be used with other account then i tried replacing my old email it doesnt replace it says
    This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.
    please help me

    Yes,  I am having the same problem.  When I called apple they said that things were "tied up somehow" with another account that has a do different birthday than me.  Uuuuuhh?  So that means someone else can log in?... I have a feeling there is a big vulnerability with the three login options, just like with the current and past password retrieval. Apple had only suggested that I delete my current set up on my serviced and make a new ID and email.
    I Just got a new email and made a new Apple ID account For now. I was hoping the email would work itself out. I assumed If I could make sure everything was verified, not associated with another account, and try to get rid of the alternate id and second email option also used to sign in (seen in Apple ID management)  that could possibly be construed or mixed up with something else that it would eventually free up and become "available" again.  Unfortunately im still waiting In hopes in just needs to recognize the email isn't associated with anything.
    I have had a few major concerns with apple products lately especially with security. My iPhone 4s was hacked too. Some ******* was listening/recording and when I hooked to Internet he sent out the recorded portion that was available.  Talk about ****** up.

    Hi billfromwandering,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues changing your Apple ID. It is correct that if an email address has been used previously for an Apple ID, it can not be used for a different Apple ID, as noted in this article:
    In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID. 
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you are certain that the email in question has never been used for an Apple ID and you are having issues contacting Apple Support regarding this issue, you may want to make sure you are going through the Apple ID support channel on the following page:
    Apple ID - Contact - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • How to switch to a different app store? I am trying to update my apps but am getting a popup that says your account is not valid for use in the uS store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. How do I do this?  I can't find the place

    I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!

    [Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
    We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
    I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

    I just read this solution, tried it & now it's working...
    I think I found a fix...I went to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, then click on your Apple ID...view Apple ID...change country region to USA (even though it was already USA...just do it again...go through the steps making sure the United States store is selected...agree to the Terms of Service, THEN I think what the key is is to RE-auhorize your credit card...in my case all I had to do was enter the security code...and it worked...I am now able to download the YouTube app for example...couldn't do it before.

  • ERROR: "key not valid for use in specified state" when updating to Lightroom 5.6 in Win8.1

    While doing a routine update from Lightroom 5.5 to v5.6 in Win 8.1, the installation halted at the start of the installation with the vague error message, "key not valid for use in specified state".  Although v5.5 was working just fine, the install routine deleted the v5.5 application files.  I rolled back to the previous system restore point (set just prior to the install) and recovered the executable files.  However, now the 5.5 files won't open the default catalog, none of the backups, or even create a new catalog.
    As v5.x was purchased as an update to v4.x, I've tried to reinstall the original Lightroom v4.x app from the factory disk.  I get the same error.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks. Dan

    I have a similar problem to Dan. while doing a routine upgrade from Lightroom 5.5 to 5.6 I got the
    : "key not valid for use in specified state"
    error and now Lightroom has completely disappeared. I've tried to uninstall, but there is nothing to uninstall. Going back to try to install the original 5.4 just results in the same error.
    A problem may have been that I closed Lightroom when the upgrade started to download. It then re-opened again when the install was halfway through., I assumed that was an error and closed it. just after that the error first appeared in the installer.
    I still had an older version of lightroom 4 installed. I've uninstalled it, and that didn't make any difference.
    I've also tried removing anything in the registry left over from the old installs and that didn't help either.
    Any suggestions?

  • "This drive is not ready for use; it's door may be open ..."

    Hi.
    I recently updated to itunes 7, and then had an issue with a corrupt file on the i-pod (which resulted in chkdsk hanging itself at 27%, always). So I restored the i-pod and that took care of that - chkdsk now says it's fine.
    However - it is also empty. My machine and i-tunes recognize it fine upon start-up; however, a short while into a full synch to get my library back on the i-pod, I invariably get the following error message:
    "The drive is not ready for use; it's door may be open. Please check drive \Device\Harddisk\DR 3 and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed." The message comes with the options "cancel, ignore and continue", yet the latter two don't make a difference, and even if I choose cancel, itunes keeps trying until it eventually crashes.
    This always happens after itunes has synchronized about 1.13 GB (out of 18.55 available).
    As far as I can tell, both my system and the iPod are up to date (itunes and windows update say so, anyway). E: is unequivocally and exclusively allocated to the i-pod; changing the settings from "optimize for quick removal" to "optimize for performance" has made no discernible difference.
    Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hullo ...
    let me follow up on this again. I've followed your advice, de-installed spybot, no change. I looked through the windows support help base, nothing. While trying out different things, I started getting a "delayed write failed" message, and I did some things they suggested (including adjusting the registry - me, adjusting the registry!)and it went away, and now all I get is the "open door" message again.
    That is: everything works absolutely fine, I plug in the i-pod (latest version i-tunes and i-pod is up to date), it's recognized instantly by the explorer as well as i-tunes. I've run all scans you can possibly run on it, and it is fine (no corrupt files, nothing). I've restored it twice through i-tunes, twice through the explorer. I've changed the drive letter.
    It starts the synch fine (it's still almost empty after the last restore), but at some point, I get the error message. Interestingly enough, *up to* that point, it'll synch fine - I can disconnect it and play on it whatever's been synched thus far. I can also modify my i-tunes settings and preferences, all of which i-tunes will recognize and adhere to. It is just unwilling to put more than 1GB of stuff onto my 20GB i-pod.
    Something I've noticed is that it is sometimes indicating apparently faulty charges in the beginning (though that is quickly corrected once the synch starts), as in, it'll recognize a certain amount of audio files, but also claim a random amount of "other" files, which should not be there (apart from the 30MB or so of genuine i-pod software).
    Anyhow. I haven't seen any solutions to this on the forums or in the apple help files, but people appear to be having this problem still. Any ideas or input would be very much appreciated ...
    Thanks.

  • "The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive \

    3G IPOD problems which are driving me mad and i can see others have had the same problem but i can't find any solution written down.
    Basically my IPOD either freezes after a couple of songs or it downloads about 6Gb (of 40) and the freezes with the following message:
    "The drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR6 and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed"
    I've tried re-setting, installing etc but no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

    Hmmmm. I'm not sure how to explain this.
    You need to change the Drive Letter for your iPod.
    You should be able to connect your iPod then open Windows Explorer and right click on your iPod(which seems to be Drive E:) and change it to a different letter (like H).
    If you haven't enabled disk use for your iPod it probably won't appear in Windows Explorer.
    To enable disk use: connect iPod, open iTunes. Open Preferences and select the iPod tab. Choose "enable disk use."
    Once you've done all that, try resyncing.

  • Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

    Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
    The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
    Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
    Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
    I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
    If there is anyone out there that can help please do!
