Unable to log onto some sites using passwords etc

hi all
wonder if you could help me please
i had an i touch for christma and love it but the only issue i have is the inability to log onto some sites that i have to enter my username and password for, even though i can log in perfectly fine on my regular computer!
eveery time i try to access a certain site as soon as i enter my log on details , its starts to process then just goes back to the log on page again. i have tried loads of times but no luck!
im able to log onto facebook etc and wondering if its because im trying to access an usa site but dont think that should make any difference!
i have clicked the debug setting and when trying to log on it does come up with messages and one of which mentions something about a webkit and html issues!! and i havent got a clue what they mean of how to fix them!
others that i know that also have iphones are able to log on, so any help gratefully received, thanks

Hi graceandgirl,
Welcome to the forums... The thing that I would like to bring to your attention is that the safari browser in the iPod is not near the equivilance of a regular computer.
As it can't do flash or some advanced scripts, especially if requried by a the client (in this case your touch) to complete.
Most of the main stream websites I've had no issues with, but again you will run into some issues. And if there are issues, only that website developer can fix them... There's nothing that you can do from your end, you just have to note the websites with this restriction.

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.

Might be a corrupted database ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

I cannot log onto Adobe site

My safari won't let me log onto Adobe site. Any body know why this would only happen with this site? I tried to reinstall operating system but it hung up. I suppose I'll have to use Chrome to get to site. I've tried everything, to clear Safari Cookies, etc. reset Safari,

You, or someone using your computer, may have hacked the system to block certain servers, perhaps unknowingly. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal.
If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

HT4798 i created my apple id account, verified but know i m unable to log on, it says incorrect password, i tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to my e- mail address, how can i get this sorted or delete my pr

User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Why can I log into some sites or view them correctly in Safari

I have tried a few times to view the weather web site for one of my local stations, KOMO news. I can view this easily on my desktop computer, but a different version of the web page/site comes up on my IPod that does not have the same info, and there is no way of getting to the info I want to view (the 7-day forecast). What is this? And is there a way I can override what I'm seeing to view the web page I want to see?
Also, last night I tried logging into a few sites -- my web mail and utility bill pay -- with username and password, and instead of logging me in, the pages would keep "reverting" back to blank fields that I'd try again, and again (not even showing an error message, which is usually what I get if I enter wrong info.). It never worked, though it did work this morning from my desktop computer. Why won't Safari/Ipod let me log onto these sites?
Regards, David

Thanks for the advice everyone.
Working through them without much luck...
New user didn't help.
Have turned off MacScan.
No improvement as yet.
P.S. Not sure how MacScan and Virus Barrier X would interact as they seem to do different things... I got both of these as apps in bundles so didnt really specifically buy them.
I can't see any proxy setting in network preferences so will need to go into virus barrier and check.
Reading the "recommended text" on Virus's for homework.
Tomorrow it will be Appzapper for them both if the patient shows no sign of improvement.

Unable To Connect To Some Sites

I am unable to connect to some sites, with the error message "Safari can’t connect to the server." I cannot connect to the site with Firefox either.
Example sites are: www.bostonpizza.com and www.airmiles.ca
However, I am able to connect to these sites when I boot into WinXP.
I have tried pinging the sites in question, getting the following error message: "ping: sendto: No route to host"
It looks like something is bonked with my OS X settings. I have tried the following without any luck:
1. Reseting the computer
2. Clearing Safari's cache
3. Reseting PRAM settings using OptCmd+pr key commands on startup
4. Using OpenDNS in the network DNS settings
I am connected directly to a Linksys ADSL Ethernet modem, and my firewall is set to allow all incoming connections. I'm not running PeerGuardian, and as far as I know I'm not running anything in the background that would bork my network.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Orest
I have tried doing a traceroute when running in WinXP, with the following information:

7 21 ms 21 ms 21 ms www.bostonpizza.com [64.40.107.95]
Trace complete.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I still haven't resolved the issue. I would say 99% of the sites I visit work fine, but for some reason the odd site won't work.
This is the results for the ping on my Mac OS X system:
PING www.bostonpizza.com (64.40.107.95): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
I can access the site running WinXP in Parallels, and I can access the site in question when I use bootcamp to boot into WinXP, using the same network hardware and same connections.
It looks like from the ping, DNS is working and able to translate the site name, but for some reason cannot access the site.
This is the results of a traceroute that I ran while booted in WinXP:
Tracing route to www.bostonpizza.com [64.40.107.95]

7 21 ms 21 ms 21 ms www.bostonpizza.com [64.40.107.95]
Trace complete.
When booted in Mac OS X, I am able to ping every listed IP address in the WinXP traceroute, except for the last one, 64.40.107.95.
Still no idea what is going on, my network troubleshooting toolbox consists of pretty much ping, and googling error messages.
Thanks,

Determin how many user log on the site using JSP/Servlet?

Hi all,
Is there a way to determine how many user log on the site using JSP/Sevlet? I'm running Apache 2.x & Tomcat 4.x
I'm trying to get a list of user currently log in the site.
Please help!
Thanks,
-JN-

You could use the HttpSessionBindingListener interface. Every time a user logs into the session put a user object into the session. The user object will implement the HttpSessionBindingListener interface. When the user object is added to a sessiion it recieves an event and it increments a counter. When the session times out or you invalidate the session because the user has logged out the user object will recieve an event and it can then decrement the counter.
This will at least tell how many active user sessions there are.

I mistakenly moved my apple keyboard layout bundle to the trash can and now I am unable to log onto my computer. I can't type anything so I can't access my account to get back onto my computer.

restart and hold Command+r to enter in recovery mode and ill allow you to repair your OS X installation. If you cannot repair it, then just create a new user, as usually issues with keyboards are rooted in the user's account.
Good luck

HT204053 For some reason, I am unable to log onto the App store and iTunes using my Apple ID although it works on the actual website/browser. Why is this and what can I do about it?

I was struggling with creating an account without a credit card at first and then someone on here suggested I create my account through the actual website and I log onto the website without any trouble and onto Game Center, just nowhere else. It says "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store." and asks me to review my account information but when I click on review, it completely ignores my request. This is somewhat infuriating as I really would like to start using the App Store. Thank you for your help.

Hi annafrUk!

IPhone won't let me log onto any site which requires a username and password

Hi there,
My iphone 4 (ios5) has stopped letting me log onto any website which requires a username and password. They have all worked in the past but have stopped working. My iPad is fine.
It happens if i am connected to wifi or 3g.
Has anyone else suffered this?
I have restarted the phone and done a backup and restore.
Any advice would help.
Thanks

Sorted it. In settings - safari - privacy was set not to accept any cookies. I have changed that to accept from visited. Now working ok again.

Unable to log onto MSN messenger

Hi,
I am currently experiencing major problems logging onto msn messenger at home. The funny thing about my problem is that msn works fine using other wireless connections. I have called up my internet provider (tiscali), apple technical support, and belkin (the company that makes my wireless router). No such luck yet. Apparently I have managed to figure out that it isn't that program that is at fault, nor is my computer. I can log in fine with other wireless networks (e.g. school library). The tricky thing is that it isn't the fault of my internet provider. There is no problem in me surfing the web (logging into hotmail to check my email)and using internet wirelessly in the house. I downloaded adiumx, amsn, fire, and msn messenger for macs. none of the will allow me to sign in with any user name ending with @hotmail.com from what i have concluded.
it just won't read my hotmail address when i type in my username and password.
my internet provider is tsicali and since it did not come with a wireless router, i bought a belkin one on my own. the belkin technicians have put down all the firewalls (dmz settings?)and security settings and I STILL can't log on to msn.
there are no firewalls on my macbook by default. so there's nothing to disable.
tiscali does not block any sites for their users as an internet provider.
I have even gone into utilities and to the terminal icon and switched the mtu setting to 1400
what more can i do right now?
does anybody have any idea what could be wrong?
my computer? router? internet provider?
please advise!
mucho gracias
p.s. my flatmate uses the wireless internet just fine. she has a pc laptop and can log on to msn messenger no problem
