Suddenly unable to log in or reply to threads with Firefox 3.5.4

This happened just out of the blue today. If I'm idle from the site, I am logged out (even though I have Remember Me checked). OK, fine a minor annoyance. However, when I tried to log in today, instead of the login screen, I received this error message:
The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. * This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
I deleted the cookies. This availed no change. If I refuse cookies, of course I won't be able to log in, which would defeat the purpose of using your message board. Is this a problem on my end, or on yours?
I am currently logged in with Google Chrome.
P505-S8945, Intel Centrino Core2 Duo @ 2 GHz. 6 GB RAM, 453 GB HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4600 1 GB, Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1

Never tried this myself but should work. I mean using a Mac as an external disk. I regularly use this method with external disk formatted with Mac filesystem.
In your situation is the only way I see to get data out from the PowerBook.
First step download and install this great program, HFSExplorer onto your PC. You need Java to run HFSExplorer. So if it is not installed get Java.
Get a proper FireWire cable to connect your PC and your Mac.
Start the PowerBook in Target Disk Mode. If you don't know what Target Disk Mode is read the whole page I linked.
Start HFSExplorer on your Windows PC. Ignore the error if it shows up. Use the FireWire cable to connect both Mac and PC.
Wait until Windows recognize the new disk. It won't show up in My Computer because of the filesystem. Windows does not read HFS+ disks natively.
Go to File, Load Filesystem from device
Next step click on Autodetect button and OK at the following panel
There will be lots of system folder that are not important to you. Browse for the Users' folder where your data are stored.

  • Cannot log out of yahoo mail comletely with firefox for the past two week or so

    Recently I have been unable to log out of yahoo mail completely with firefox. I get the following error message: "The connection has timed out. The server at us.lrd.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." I have more than one yahoo mail acct. and cannot log into a different acct until the first one is closed out completely. On the error message page there is "Try Again" button. This has occasionally helped but rarely.
    I have tried opening FF in safe mode but this has not helped at all. I have used two other browsers to access my yahoo mail to see it the problem was with yahoo or FF. Both browsers repeatedly logged out of yahoo mail without a problem.

    I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out. I never had any Yahoo mail problems in any of these three browsers until the latest version of Yahoo mail came out, and now I just close the browser to sign out -- it's faster, for me anyway.

  • I am suddenly unable to log into wifi

    I have been using my ipad mini successfully since 2014 to log into wifi wherever I go... but this week, I was in another town and after using the wifi at my host's house, the next morning it did not work, nor was I successful at logging in with several other internet cafes.  When I go home, the problem persisted and I could not get onto my home wifi. 
    the potential sites show up, but when I click one, the circle whirls and whirls, nothing happens, no password is asked for .... HELP!  thanks.

    This is the first that I've heard of those conditions.  However, if it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Why am I suddenly unable to log onto Story Free and access my scripts and other documents?

    I was working as usual with Story Free until attempting several times to log on yesterday and today, with no success. The program seems to bypas the login process and take mne to the familiar workspace, but with no ability to use any features.
    I wonder if this might be related to the advertised Feb 2013 revision?
    Please advise at earliest convenience, thanks--

    Hi William,
    Please try clearing your browser/flash cache and login once again. Here are the steps to follow:

    You can also try logging in with some other browser like chrome or firefox.
    If you still face a problem let us know.

  • Suddenly unable to log in to BT Yahoo Mail

    Thanks

  • Unable to log into iMessage and intermittent issues with FaceTime

    Late 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.4.  I'm an admin level Windows guy but a relatively new (and otherwise very pleased) convert to Mac OS.
    This morning Messages started repeatedly prompting me for my iMessage password and FaceTime has starting working only intermittently.  Both work fine from my iPad and iPhone 5.  Both have been working from my MacBook Pro for months.
    This morning when I tried to fire up Messages on the MacBook I got an error saying "The server encountered an error processing registration".  After doing some Googling, I noticed that many folks said that when they had this problem they also had an issue with FaceTime.  I confirmed that FaceTime was indeed giving me the same error as iMessage. After trying some solutions from past threads that didn't work, I rebooted.  Now instead of throwing an error, Messages just keeps asking me for my iMessage password again and again.  FaceTime works occasionally but sometimes when I get a call and click answer, I get "call failed" as my iPhone and iPad continue to ring and then I'm asked to re-enter my password on the MacBook.  If I enter my password it just sits and spins.  If i quit FaceTime and start it again, it'll usually log in successfully but calls may or may not work (following the same pattern I just mentioned).
    The odd thing to me is that when I tested FaceTime on my iPad, I got notifications on my iPad and iPhone and my primary and alternate email address were now registered with FaceTime.  They have been for over a year so I'm not sure why I'm getting those notifications again.
    I'm able to log into the Mac App store without a problem using the same AppleID
    What I've tried so far based on Google results:
    1. In Keychain Access, reset my default keychain - No improvement
    2. In Keychain Access, selected Keychain First Aid, repaired and verified - No improvement
    3. On my iPad, turned iMessage off and back on - No improvement, though iMessage on the iPad still works fine
    4. Confirmed that my primary and secondary AppleID email addresses and password are correct.  The email address associated with my AppleID is not associated with any other AppleIDs.
    Thanks!

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 4
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 6
    Select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 7
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 8
    Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually 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.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 9
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 10
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 11
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • I can no longer log into my Remote Work site with Firefox, and I do not know why (I won a Mac)--can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

    For 1 1/2 years I had been able to log in to my work Remote Access site using Firefox, but I no longer can--it just sits there and does nothing. I have tried deleting the Firefox browser in case of corruption and reloaded from the Mozilla website, but that does not help. I prefer not to give the URL of my company website, but it is possible someone can help me. Might the problem be java, or something else?

    You'll have to call and explain your situation to Adobe Customer Service for your region.

  • Unable to download a purchased MP3 from Napster with Firefox 3.6.13 but it worked with IE 8.0, presumably due to a security setting.

    I purchased my first MP3 from Napster but I couldn't get the song to download successfully. I think I narrowed the problem down to Firefox (V3.6.13) not allowing the download to complete. After several attempts and failures, as a test, I tried the same download sequence with IE 8.0 and got the download to complete. I couldn't find a setting in the Firefox TOOLS -> OPTIONS menu to modify the security to allow this download to happen. Am I missing a setting option somewhere?

  • After downloading Firefox 5, I had some firewall issues. I am unable to use my McAfee AT&T firewall with Firefox 5. I don't like using the windows firewall. What can I do?

    I can't think of any additional details other than my question above.

    I had the same problem. I'm running 10.5 but on a Motorola chip. The Firefox download page is not clear on OS and machine requirements. To fix the problem, trash the newly installed Firefox 4. Download Firefox 3.6.16 and reinstall. All of your preferences and bookmarks will still be there as they are contained in a different place. Hope this helps.

  • I'm unable to open statements an other PDF documents with Firefox.

    When I select the file to open I get a dotted square outline in by browser and it says  "blank".  This happens when I try to look at the schoo lunch menu, and anytime I try to look up statements online.  How can I fix this? They still open with Safari.

    Do you have Adobe Reader Installed? If not use the link and install.  If you are still using OSX 10.4 make sure you download the proper version.
    Does your Firefox > Preferences > Applications look like this?
    If all else fails you may need to upgrade from Tiger?  Otherwise you may be stuck with Safari.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2008 trial install - unable to log into CMC

    Hi,
    I have been looking for a way to host my existing Crystal XI reports on our in house web application rather than using a thick client application with cview. I was told that the options were Crystal Reports Server 2008 or Visual Studio 2008. I have downloaded trials of both and am currently testing.
    After installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, including MySQL DB and Tomcat web server, i am unable to log into any of the applications with the error that:
    Error: Server SCOTTPC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
    After seeing this i checked the services on my test machine and found that the Server Intelligence Agent was not started. So i tried starting it and recieved the generic windows message:
    Service on local computer started and them stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ... etc
    After multiple reboots and reinstalls i am still unable to use any aspect of the application as i am unable to log into the CMC as the server is down. Now i am new to Crystal reports and web servers so have a very limited knowledge of whats going on here - i am primarily a DBA. From what i can tell MySQL does not even appear to be installed but i cannot be sure.
    Any suggestions?

    ok... after research it seems a DSN has not been created.
    Also when trying to start the server intelligence service i see the following in the application event viewer:
    [Node Name: SCOTTPC]
    [User Name: SYSTEM]
    Server Intelligence Agent has failed to initialize because the bootstrap file C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\_boe_SCOTTPC.bootstrap is missing information about the CMS cluster. Please restore your bootstrap file from your backup.
    i have recreated the bootstrap file but still get the same error.
    i have SQL Server 2005 installed on this rig as well - could this be causing the issue? Would it be better for me to integrate this to SQL Server rather than using the MySQL DB that comes with Crystal server 2008?

  • I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. Why?

    I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
    Thank you.
