Why can't we access AOL on an iMAC?

Just got the new iMAC and can't access AOL Mail. Where there is normally a login there is an error and the image on the left of the page does not load. It just shows some text looking like a page that did not fully load.
I took all the updates. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how this can be fixed?
Loading the AOL desktop is not an option on this computer. We just dont want it on there. If there are no other solutions we will use our old MAC to get to AOL but we would like to use the iMAC if there are other options.
Thanks!

After reading your message I tried my AOL for OS X and it failed to open, I had to use Force Quit to get out of it. I then tried my AOL Desktop Beta 1.6.834 and I was able to log right on. I suggest you download AOL Desktop.
I'm thinking the old AOL OS X software might have a problem with OS 10.6.2!

  • 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:

    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?

  • Why can't I access Youtube on my iMac?

    I can't access youtube from any of my browsers:
    -safari
    -firefox
    -chrome
    -opera
    The loading bar doesn't move at all, and the page stays white; It's only happening with my iMac computer.
    I use a router for internet. Other websites work just fine... although, there are some that also give me trouble by not loading completely.
    This happened as soon as I got the lates update for my computer (Feb 2, 2012)
    I ran Disk Utility to verify permissions, and even fix them, but it didn't work.
    -my firewall is off
    -I don't have proxies
    -my DNS is empty
    -I flushed the DNS cache
    -I tried with other users in my computer
    ... but Youtube still won't work
    Can anybody help me with this one?

    Try a different browser. Try updating your Flash player.

  • Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

    why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

    Hey GingCarv,
    Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

    Note: At this time, movies are not available for automatic downloads.

  • I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

    I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like  the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
    APPLE. What are you doing?

  • Why can't I access my icloud email on Chrome?

    Why can't I access my iCloud email on Chrome? I can open it, read one email and then it freezes > both on my mac and on my pc!  After an upgrade I can't access "mail" either, which is why I resorted to iCloud on chrome.

    Your profile states 10.6.8. The system requirements for mail is 10.7.5 or later

  • Why can't I access photoshop cs6 on my computer?

    Details: I launch the program and it prompts me to sign into my adobe account. I click "sign in," and then it loads for awhile. It then displays an error message specifying that I am not connected to the internet or that my pc's clock is not properly synched. I reset my internet connection and synched my clock , but to no avail. The same error message is displayed every time. Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hey Pete,
    I'm using Windows 7 and I don't think I have any firewalls. But it has recently come to my attention that before my brother gave me this computer, he installed Clock Stopper to extend free trial programs. It's since been uninstalled, but could that program have messed up my clock permanently?
    Thanks

    Hello srpeters5,

  • Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone?

    Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

    Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.

    You must've blocked cookies. iTunes requires cookies I believe. If you did block it follow these steps:

    Apple doesn't have any say in the matter. it's up to the owner of the distribution rights for the music.

  • Why can't i access the app store on my iphone 5

    Please why can't I access the app store on my iPhone 5....it keep saying can't access.. I'm from Nigeria

    Go to settings, then scroll down to appstore and itunes store. Then tap id and sign out. Next, sign in again.
    Or restart the device by holding power button until red slider appears. Slide it. After the iphone turns off. Hold the power button to turn it backon. Then try the solution above.
