When trying to open my yahoo mail account, it just freezes on blank page, internet explorer opens it fine, this is the only site that has a prob for me

i can view the login page. I enter my login and pword. Then it just goes to a blank page. The tab at the top of the page and the address bar shows a continuous changing address and nothing happens

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access  "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password.  instead of the yahoo account password.

  • When I open my Yahoo mail account, it comes up with lines between every entry. When I try to send a new message, the dialogue box is incomplete. The tool bar above the message box is empty so I cannot change the font or font size, etc.

    This problem does not occur when I open my Yahoo mail account in Internet Explorer.
    Because of it, I cannot use Firefox to access my Yahoo mail.

    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • Over the past week the Mac mail app on my iPad 2 has become locked in vertical orientation and only in the orientation such that the bottom is orientated toward the menu button. Any advice? This is the only app that seems to have been affected.

    For the past week or two, my Mac Mail app for my iPad 2 has been stuck in vertical orientation. This is the only app that is similarly affected. Moreover, it will only orient itself such that the bottom is toward the menu button on the iPad.  Please advise if you have a solution.

    Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it rotates when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When trying to log into my bank account, I always get a Challenge Page even though I check the box to register my computer as a private computer.

    When trying to log into my bank accounts (2), I always get a security Challenge Page even though I have repeatedly checked the box to register my computer as a private computer. When I attempt to get into these same two accounts using Internet Explorer, I skip the Challenge Page and go directly to the Log In page. What settings do I need to change in Firefox so that I don't get the Challenge Page every time?

    I have had exactly this problem - Firefox - version 11, but when I updated all my plug-ins (go to Customize Firefox - about halfway down - '''''Check your plugins''''') and restarted Firefox the problem vanished. Hope this helps as this seems to be a fairly large issue.

  • Why is this browser the only 1 that gives a blank page, that is till I reload the page everything I log in or out? Raw data says "1". tried the troubleshooting.

    I am on a Win8.1 64 bit Toshiba laptop. When I go to www.deadfrontier.com to log in the page just stays white till I refresh it. Everything works fine while playing within the site. Once I am done playing or wish to play a different character, when I click the log out button it goes white. Till I refresh. But now that I think about it there is light blue bar at the top the screen that stays there the whole time during the action part of the game. Firefox is the only browsers that does this. It is just annoying as heck. One of the reasons I started to use Ff is the password saving worked better that all the other browsers. So when switching between characters Ff made things easy. Pretty soon I found myself using it all the time. Now I want it to keep working without having to refresh every time. I tried the safe mode thing but It was the same thing as the refresh. I hope that the info I have provided helps in solving this problem. Be a shame to let this new laptop go to waste. I am going to try the reset thing. I was hoping not to have to but read the folder saved with my info. I just can't see that being the problem either. Thank in advance. Dion

  • When I start using my yahoo mail account , I can't send / forward mail but with IE the problem just vanished

    I have been using Firefox since last couple of months and initially I was happy but recently with the issue I have highlighted , taken help of Yahoo but could not be resolved. When I have gone back to IE , the problem has been resolved .

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • When I click links in my mails or other places I get blank pages. Think yur blocking to much, even keeping my own email site from working...

    I am a comp dummy, but I really like firefox but since I tried to personalize my firefox, all the time when I press a link or go to some less known site I get blank pages, while the adress is in the top showing. No wheels turning. Keep on burning, firefox!!!
    Blocking too much, being too bossy, I do have great internet and pc security. In my own email account, you just prevent it from working! That's ridiculous.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
