Staying logged in to websites with Safari

Hi all,
I'm new to MAC and appear to have come up against a common problem i.e. Safari not staying logged into websites despite ticking the 'stay logged in box' Yahoo! is an example of this.
I've trawled through the net looking for answers but it seems this has been going on for some time.
Anything new that actually works?
(Running a new i5 iMAC with OSX 10.6.6)
Thanks.

If you are running v10.6.6, update your software. Latest Snow Leopard version is v10.6.8 and Safari 5.1
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update.
And from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Details
Delete the website url's you have problems accessing then click Done.
Restart your Mac.

How do I keep logged in on websites with Safari?

Hi everyone,
I have encountered a new problem: Safari can't keep me logged in on some of the sites that I visit daily, like Hotmail, Flickr, iMDB, ebay and Gmail. The browser remembers my usernames & passwords, but I still get logged off automatically within a few hours once I logged into a site. Firefox doesn't have this problem. Is it possible to stay logged in using Safari? Thanks!

Sometimes cookies can get corrupted. You'll have to recover your password for those sites before proceeding so that you can re-enter them after taking the steps below.
Safari menu -> Preferences -> Security -> edit the cookies and delete the cookies for the sites that are misbehaving. I'm seeing a similar issue in Safari 3.0.4, and just did that solution. We'll see if it solves it or not.

Having a hard time signing into websites with Safari

Hi, I'm having a hard time signing in my username and password for e-mail addresses I use and for message boards as well. I use Safari all the time accept for my school website that requires IE. Anyways, I use Comcast and I have been trying to sign into my e-mail address name and everyime I click "sign in mail" Safari says "Safari Can't Open Page". So then, I went to my AIM mail to sign in there and then it said the same thing. Then I went to this Apple Forum to ask if anyone knows what the problem is, and then when I went to sign into here, the same thing. So right now I am using Camino, but can anyone help me with this problem or is anyone having the same problem as me? Thanks.

I too have been having a problem of logging into certain websites with a username and password. Instead of logging in successfully with Safari, a blank page or an error would occur.
This happened for: citibank, comcast, sprint, and miscellaneous other sites.
This problem apparently had something to do with my cookies since erasing my cookies seemed to solve the problem. Here's how to do it:
Safari -> Preferences...-> Security -> Show Cookies -> Remove All.

Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?

Is there any diffence in rendering websites with safari for windows and safari for mac os, or are both equal?
So is it necessary to buy a mac to guarantee that a website acts like it should, or is the Safari for Windows enough?

Staying Logged In To Websites Issue

Ever since upgrading to latest Airport Extreme and Express (vs 6.2.1) I have experienced chronic issues with staying logged into websites regardless of the browser used ( Safari, Firefox, Chrome, iCab). I know there have been "vanishing cookie" issues with specific browsers but my issue shows no favoritism to any specific browser. The only common factor I can trace it to is that it must be an Airport issue. Anyone else experienced anything like this or have a solution?

If you are running v10.6.6, update your software. Latest Snow Leopard version is v10.6.8 and Safari 5.1

Problem With Website With Safari and not Firefox

I have just started having a problem with Safari, which I hope someone here will be able to solve pretty quickly. Just recently, when I go to my online banking, I enter my username and password with no problem. My accounts show up. But, when I select one of the accounts, it asks me to log in again. Now, I thought it might be the bank's website that was having the problem, but when I use Firefox to do the say thing, it works fine. I'm wondering if something got corrupted in the depths of Safari that could be causing this problem. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Select your bank site then click Remove. From the same Menu click the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to: Other forms. Select your bank site, click Done.
Relaunch Safari. If you still have problems with that site, open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities)
Select Passwords. Right or control click your bank on the righ then click Delete from the pop up menu. Quit Keychain Access. Relaunch Safari. Try your bank site... if the problem persists, open Keychain Access/Passwords and delete: Safari Forms Autofill. Quit Keychain Access and relaunch Safari.
You may need to empty the Safari cache and Reset Safari too.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.

Can't log in to websites on Safari for iPhone 4

I'm sure I have some setting checked or something, but for some reason I cannot log in to websites through my Safari app. One specific case in point is Ravelry.Com. If I go there, it takes me to the log in screen for the mobile website. I enter my username and password (yes, correctly) and push send and then it takes me right back to the blank log in screen. The same thing happens if I try to log in to LionBrand.com and a few other websites I've tried.
My friend has an iPhone 4 and she can log in to Ravelry with no problems.
HELP!!

Thanks so much for your help, but as soon as I put the question out there, I found a link with my solution. The Ravelry hack was just one in a long list of sites I use that have been hacked. I'm so over hackers at this point. I change my passwords frequently anyway, but it's such a nuisance.

My brother can't access his company's website with Safari or Firefox

This is driving me nuts. My two brothers own a home building company and paid me to design and put up a website for them. My brother Scott, who I recently switched to the Mac, can't access the site with either Safari or FireFox. He hasn't had any trouble accessing any other sites on the internet, just his own!
I can access the site no problem at home with Safari, my other brother can access it from IE 6 on his Windows machine, and Scott can access the site from the Dell sitting right next to his Mac using the same router and satellite modem.
Heres the error Safari gives: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.handhproperties.com" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
I looked around in the network prefs, security, etc., but couldn't find anything that might cause this. Now this is just a very basic plain Jane website and I didn't include anything fancy. Mostly because I'm not that smart. What could be causing this?
I emptied Safari's cache and went in and deleted cookies from the site (GoDaddy must've put them there because I certainly didn't and wouldn't know how). Immediately after I did that, the Home page of the site loaded but with a bunch of errors and no images. If I clicked on any links I got the same error message as before, so I went looking for more cookies to delete but there weren't any.
He's on WildBlue satellite and my first thought was it had something to do with them because before, when he was on dial up he had no problems accessing the site. He talked to them and they claimed it had to be his Mac. The router is a cheap Lynksys that I don't think has any built in firewall.
Today I upgraded him to Leopard and hoped that a new version of Safari might clear things up but nope.
Any ideas? I'm completely baffled (nothing new there).

Hi,
Have you tried giving the router a kick? (i.e. turning it off/on )
Sometimes that can do the trick even when another computer connected to it can access the site fine.

Multiple users\passwords on the same website with Safari

Coming over from Netscape for MAC to Safari.
Here is the issue-- In Netscape I was able to have multiple users/passwords for the same website page. Netscape controls its users/passwords; not the keychain. With Safari everytime I try to enter the second user/password this wipes out the first user and password.
Is there a way with Safari to have mutlple users/passwords for the same website page?
Thanks,
Reed

Javascript items will not load into my website with Safari

I have a website that uploaded fine with Safari, www.onefineparty.com. Lately the site does not show the javascript photos, only white boxes. The javascript uploads fine with Firefox on Macs and with non-Safari browsers on PCs.
We have 2 macs that have this problem: MacBookPro and IMac G5.
Both have OSX 10.4.11, with Safari 3.1.2 (4525.22)
Both have Javascript enabled.
Do I need to tell my potential clients to turn off Safari and use another web browser to view my website?

It holds the answer to your troubles. Safari Inspector show two major errors in the code.

Trouble logging on to PayPal with Safari, Firefox

Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://www.paypal.com/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302.)” (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork:302) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

Hello anabele:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If the problem is in both browsers, you need to call your ISP for assistance in troubleshooting the connection problem. FWIW, I just logged on to PayPal using Safari without a problem.

No longer able to log into websites with Safari 3.1

Ever since updating to Safari 3.1, I can no longer log into websites (such as my company's Campfire account). It looks like I'm having a problem similar to those described by people who were using Cosmopod 2.2, however...
I don't have (nor have I ever had) Cosmopod installed.
I also don't have an Input Managers directory in /Library or ~/Library.
I've removed all my internet plugins in /Library/Internet Plug-ins
I've reinstalled Safari using the 3.1 standalone installer.
I've tried to downgrade back to 3.0.4 using the Leopard 10.5.2 combo installer (but I can't seem to actually get the combo installer to run).
Any thoughts as to other programs which might be causing Keychain hijacking?
- Jared

tried it and spent the last 30 min. trying to log in
as adminstrator..
still no luck with getting through on secured sites..
any other thoughts? did the disk utility,etc..
He is something to try:
Go into the Control Panel open Accounts, create a new
user. Log into the new user account, open Safari and
try connecting to a well know site that uses SSL...
If it works, it means something is wrong with your
Safari settings in your account, bad preferences,
etc...
If it doesn't work, you have to delete system-wide
Safari preferences, and perhaps start with Disk
Utilities, Verify Permissions, etc...

Inability to log on to most websites with Safari

Suddenly Safari stopped connecting me with most websites. I can connect to my credit union's website and to Apple's "Hot News", to "iTunes 25 New Releases", and to Apple's RSS articles (at feeds:Apple&ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wpa/MRSS/n ewreleases/limit=25/rss.xml&www.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss&uuid:8845 EB6B-98FB-48B7-8857-9D350B0C6AB1).
But, I could access no other Web pages through Safari.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Might be a Network issue. Try this suggestion:
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
-Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, enter (copy/paste on separate lines) 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes.
When done, select OK, then "apply"
restart Safari.

Help Enter a website with Safari or Other non Microsoft browser

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way for me to enter the site that I use for use on my Mac. I don't have an intel base mac, so I can't use Fusion etc. I have G5.
Here is the URL to the site that I need to log into for work.
http://link.mlxchange.com
I can not enter using Safari, I've tried Opera 9.25 and 9.5 beta, Latest versions of Firefox and Camino don't work either. Can anyone help me with this. I don't want to go back to my old windows machine just to log into this site.
Thank you all for your help and I hope there is someone out there who knows the solution to this problem.
Thank you

The authors of that website have specific code embedded in it which is checking for the nature of the browser that is accessing it. Klaus1 has tried to access it using the usual workaround for such things, which is to have Safari pretend to the website that it is a different web browser than it actually is, and reports above that it didn't work.
If that is the case, there nothing you can do from the client side to make it happy. The code on the web server is what is making the determination that it isn't going to let you in, and only the site developers can change that.
My uneducated guess is they are requiring Internet Explorer because they are using some IE-specific technologies which don't work on other platforms (such as Macs) or even other browsers on Windows. Depending on how much has been invested by the site owners into that IE-specific website, they may be unwilling/unable to redevelop it to be compatible with a wider set of clients, but I think at least you should contact them and explain they are cutting out an increasing number of potential customers/visitors. At some point this will become a commercial issue for them.
I'm not sure beyond that advice and klaus1's test above what anyone on this forum would be able to offer, sorry. It's really up to the site authors/owners to not have it locked a particular browser and operating system.
