Why can't I access Google Mail any loinger due to Safari error?

Notwithstanding upgrading Java and Security with the latest downloads, I no longer seem to be able to access Google Mail; when I try I get an error message. The strange thing is that I get the same from Firefox too. Could this have to do with the security update?
Thank you for your help!

HI Felix,
Try maintenance...
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.
If Safari unexpectedly quits, it could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Try Open DNS - Free / Basic
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
For Firefox:
1. From the Tools menu, select Clear Recent History... .
2. From the Time range to clear: drop-down menu, select the desired range; to clear your entire cache, select Everything.
3. Click the down arrow next to "Details" to choose what history elements to clear. Click Clear Now.
Repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Why can't I access Firefox directly any more?

    For many months, I have used Firefox to access Melaleuca.com to place a regular monthly order. This morning, when I clicked on Firefox, a box popped up saying I couldn't use Firefox with this version of Mac OS X. Why can I not? And what can I do about it?

    There's a third party version of Firefox 4 you can install on your MAC here: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

  • Why can't I access my mail

    Whenever I go to the mail app at the top it says welcome and below are a list of email websites none of which I have and it won't let me just access my mail please help I have important thing being sent to me via email

    Is your account listed on the right-hand side of Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and if it is and you tap on the account to select it then is Mail 'on' for it ? If not then turn it 'on' and it should then show in the Mail app. If the account doesn't show on that screen then tap the 'Add Account' button to add it
    If it's already 'on' but not showing in the Mail app then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it shows when you re-open the Mail app : double-click the home button to open the multitasking bar and then swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't get it to show then try a soft-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.

  • Why can't I add Google Mail account since upgrading to ios8.3?

    Tryinh to add Google Mail account to iPhone 5c with ios8.3
    it asks for email and password sign in and then goes back to the add account page.

    If you have two-step verification turned on for your email account, you'll have to get instructions from your provider on how to set up your account on a mobile device.

  • Why can I not access ICloud mail on Mac Mail anymore.  When I reopen a new ICloud account, the "incoming server" box is gray and I cannot enter anything.   This happened the 3-4 times I attempted to start a new icloud account?

    Was getting ICloud mail then it stopped.   Icons next to ICloud on my mac mail say it's a netweork error.   I tried deleting the iCloud account several times and reentering it but it always leaves out the info that goes into the "incoming server" box and there is no way to manually enter it as the box is grayed out.   

    Sign out of iCloud (system preference>iCloud) reboot and sign back in.

  • Why can't thunderbird access my mail anymore after traveling to a different country?

    Hello everyone,
    I started having problems with Thunderbird after moving from Germany to Lebanon. First I thought it was because I changed my time zone on the computer but now I think it is more related to my yahoo account. First Thunderbird started to download one message multiple times (basically every time it went to retrieve email from all of my web accounts, but it didn't happen all the time and only to my yahoo account). Then it stopped to connect altogether giving me the report "maildrop busy". I tried opening it from time to time but it would only sometimes and apparently randomly download all the messages including yahoo but also sometimes giving me nothing or just one mail a dozen times.
    Now I moved to Kyrgyztan via Turkey and since I'm only able to use yahoo through the browser I got asked to identify myself through an alternative email (web.de) which doesn't exist anymore so now my yahoo is also completely blocked in the browser. So I thought maybe Thunderbird initially couldn't download my yahoo mail because it probably asked to identify myself when I moved to Lebanon in the first place. But then why would it have been able to get the mail at some times anyway and why could I log in online without getting asked the question? Does Thunderbird identify itself automatically even when you change locations?
    So I am of course in big trouble because yahoo is my main email account. The fact that I deleted my older alternative mail account is of course my own loss but can anyone say if there is a way to fix Thunderbird so maybe I would then be able to access yahoo through Thunderbird again?
    (Another problem is, that yahoo offers no way to contact them directly, I did all the help and customer support sites, they are useless, and there is no phone number or mail contact...)
    Scroll down for my trouble shooting report and feel free to ask any further questions on my settings etcetera, unfortunately I am not experienced enough to know what exactly you would need to know now.
    Thank you!

    you could try turning off email scanning in your anti virus as that is the most common cause of intermittent can't connect and repeated download of the same mail. Other than that it is up to you and yahoo.

  • Why can't I access AOL mail?

    When I try to use the "Mail" function on my iPod Touch, I get this message: The connection to the server "imap.aol.com" failed. I get this message everytime regardless of what signal strength I have.
    Is this an AOL problem or something else? Setting up the iPod to read mail is easy; all you have to do (at least for AOL) is provide your username and password (unless there is something else I missed).

    Try this guide:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/mailhelper/
    Here is my AOL mail problem (POP vs IMAP?) that I think can be fixed but I couldn't find in this forum:
    I usually read, answer, file my AOL mail on my main computer or my laptop. I occasionally check my my AOL mail using my Treo or iPod Touch. On my Treo, new messages are downloaded but when I check my computer, they remain as "new mail." However, when I check using my iPod Touch, I receive the new messages as expected, but when I check AOL on my computer any new messages can only be found in the "old mail" folder. How can I change this so new messages read by my iPod Touch remain as "new" on AOL?

  • How come clients have to return to the original machine to access their photos and files? Why can't they access them from any client?

    When students login & upload images onto a client, they have to return to that same client. They cannot see their images if they log into another client the next day.
    Currently, I created uses as Local only on a server dns of ---- .server.private. via the "internet" not VPN. (as advised by a Apple Rep phone call).
    Do I change it to server HD? When I tried "Users" , they could not log into any client.
    Is it a permission issue on the client?  
    Are they pictures stored on the Client HD or the Server HD under users home folders? When I had Snowleopard, I could create folders outside their homes and see them on the server HD. Now I cannot see any folder created "ouside" the main Doc or Pictures Folder on the SERVER HD. They can, when they log into the same client each day.
    Advice?

    From what westhighphoto said "When I had Snowleopard, I could create folders outside their homes and see them on the server HD" it sounds like users have been saving files outside their home directory. In that case it does not matter whether they are using full-blown Network Home Directories or Portable Home Directories (with syncing) the files will not be copied back to the server.
    The users should be saving the photos inside the Photos folder inside their home directory. These will then be saved on to the server.
    Note: iPhoto if still being used should default to this.

  • Why can't I access Photoshop CC any longer from LR5?

    I just downloaded Photoshop CC (2014) All my Nik and OnOne filter don't exist on Photoshop CC (2014)

    I had the same problem with the Nik Filters.  The solution is to go to the Plug-Ins folder for Photoshop CC and copy the desired folders to Photoshop CC 2014.  For my versions of the Nik stuff, I had to copy across the folder called "Google".  If you have an older version of the plugins, the folder may be called "Nik Software".  I'm guessing that you're OnOne plugin is the same issue.
    As to finding your Plug-Ins folder, that depends on you're operating system.  For a Mac, you can go to the Applications folder and open up "Adobe Photoshop CC" folder where you should see the Plug-Ins folder.  If you then open up the "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" folder under Applications, you will see a Plugins folder as well.  Just copy the desired plugin folders across from the CC version to the CC 2014 version.  Assuming they are compatible with the CC 2014 version, everything should work as desired.
    If you still want to export from Lightroom to Photoshop CC, you should be able to just add it as an external editor.
    Hope this helps

  • Why can't I access the "webpage" and "bookmarks" tabs in Safari on my iPad2?

    Sometimes when I'm using Safari, I can't access other webpages that I already have open. I click on the tab multiple times, but I stay on the current page. I also can't access any of my bookmarks (basically, none of the buttons next to the search bar work for me).
    I essentially have to wait until the browser crashes, and then everything works normally. What is going on?!

    See if any of these things make a difference.
    Quit Safari and restart the iPad - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Why can't I access Muse? It gives me an "unexpected error".

    I've downloaded photoshop, illustrator, bridge, and edge easily with no troubles.  I just downloaded Muse and I tried to open it but it says I need to activate the program online before using.  So I click next and it tells me "an unexpected error occurred, please try again later."  I press retry and the loading squares come up...and it loads forever...nothing ever happens.  What the heck?!  Why is this happening?  Has anyone else had a similar problem?  I tried calling or chatting with customer service but they have a 30-45 minute wait!  Seriously, adobe?  It's not a good sign when you constantly have to help people with their service. Well, if anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!  I'm using windows 8 and connected through clear internet...maybe it's my internet? Idk.

    Your should be able to close it from the system tray on bottom right of your screen.
    You can also turn it off by launching the antivirus.
