Password changed on a Safari but Yahoo Mail account, I cannot save the new password and username.

Yesterday, I changed my password to a Yahoo Mail account but Safari on iMac OSX 10.7.5, (6.1.6) won't let me save the new password.  Now, I have to type my username and then auto Safari fills the old password.  I can access my emails by typing the correct password, but I can't find a way to update Safari to remember the new password or user name.  I had a look on some forums and followed the advice given there, but none of them have worked:-check that the username box and password is checked; Delete the entry in the preferences of Safari; Check the drive in disk utility and click on repair disk permissions. Click on "Repair" in S.o.s. keychain and add the password etc in the keychain.  Remove all data from the Web site and clear the history.  Switch off and unplug before returning.  Can anyone help, please.

Hello...

You must remove the old keychain.

Open Keychain Access located in Applications > utilities

Then select passwords on the left.

Type the name of your e-mail account Yahoo in search field top right of Keychain Access window.

Then right or control click the keychain, and then click Remove.

Now on Safari, go to Yahoo, sign in with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save the data in a new keychain. The next time you visit this site, Safari should automatically fill your login for you.

  • Yahoo mail does not load in the new version of FF!

    Since the new version of FF (40.0.2) I can not open yahoo mail. I have try to disable noscript and adblock, but nothing. In old portable version of FF 33 site works very well. Can you tell me what wrong and why new FF disable access to yahoo mail?

    First of all, a common problem faced by users with Yahoo! mail is that Yahoo changed their server. If you are using an old bookmark or the old address of the homepage to access your e-mail, try to use this more general address so that if your server has changed, you redirected to the new servers:

    https://mail.Yahoo.com/

    If this makes no difference, here are some general things to try:

    When you have a problem with a particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clear your Firefox cache and delete your cookies for the site.

    (1) delete the Cache of Firefox

    See: How to clear the cache of Firefox

    Note: If you have a large hard drive, it may take a few minutes.

    (2) remove the cookies from the site (waiting for work save first). While displaying a page on yahoo.com, try either:

    • Right-click the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
    • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.
    • Click on the globe or padlock icon in the address bar > additional information > "View Cookies".

    In the dialog box that opens, you can delete cookies from the site individually.

    Then change the address at the top of this dialog from yahoo.com to mail.yahoo.com to see if there are cookies to clear any extra.

    Then try to reload the page and sign in again. Workstation?

    If this doesn't help, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.

  • I tried to put all my accts 'e' to OE Mail, he mucked up, took the new identity and lost all previous messages... is there a way to retrieve them?

    I tried to put all my accts (MSN, Yahoo) 'e' mail to Outlook Express, lost my original sign in detail, took the new identity and lost all previous messages... is there a way to retrieve them?

    Rosieuk

    Messages are likely to the old identity and you can go to file | Import | Messages to bring them into the new identity.  See also point 4 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    The account information will have to be put in place in the new identity.  You can switch between the old and new identities also.  If save you messages and settings (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6), you must do it for the two identities, unless the new identity has all the information you need in it.

  • E-mail account. Cannot send emails on iPhone and iPad after changing the password

    Due to my hotmail hacked on my laptop, I changed my password. I can now only receive emails on my iphone and iPad, but I cannot send emails. A notification comes up saying the user name or password is incorrect. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem. I remove the email account and put it in again with no luck.  Hoping someone can help...

    This means that the password is not accepted. It is typed wrong on the phone, or misspelled or you must reset the password again.

    Have you by any chance changed any server options when you were changing your e-mail iPhone settings?

    The Web site may use autocomplete = off to prevent Firefox to record the name and the password.

    You can remove autocomplete = off with a bookmarklet to register the name and the password of Firefox.

  • Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

    I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

    2014-02-28 14:20:57 avvcbimage < 14681 > Info: change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

    We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

    Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

    ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

    After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

  • Help. I could not find activation key for MS7 so bought the new version, but cannot install the new version as system thinks old version it

    How to uninstall and reinstall, or fix this problem.  I hope I didn't just buy new software I can't use :)  Thank you.

    Is identical to the old version new version, which means, are of the same edition?

    For example, is a copy of Windows 7 installed on Windows 7 Home Premium machine in addition to the new copy you purchased?

    Because, if they are, simply update the product key:

    Click Start, right click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click on the link 'change product key '.

    Enter the product key

    Click next to activate via the Internet.

    If they are not the same, then you will need to do a custom installation, with the following exception.

    If the new edition is greater than the current edition installed, then you can use the product key and upgrade to the new copy you purchased.

    It should be higher if Starter > Home Basic > Home Premium > Professional > ultimate.

    http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/26/Windows-7-anytime-upgrade-%E2%80%93-unlocking-more-benefits/

    If it turns out to be something else, then you must use the new copy and do a custom installation:

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Created a site in dreamweaver, want to now set up the MySql database and username / password to access

    I created a site in dreamweaver, now you want to set up the MySql database and username / password to access a part of it. Dreamweaver's tools?

    I guess I need to learn PHP?

    Guidance gratefully received!

    Bob

    If you simply need to restrict access to your site, or a part of your site, there is an easier way to do it, using Apache htpasswd, but this solution is very limited and not suitable for use with clients, there is no interesting features people expect, as the ability to reset a lost password.

    Otherwise, Yes, you will need to learn some PHP and SQL.

    You will start by setting up your development computer with an Apache web server, which comes with PHP and possibly also MySQL. There are free versions, such as XAMPP, but I prefer Zend Server, which costs $195.

    Dreamweaver includes data 'tools' to the CS 5.5 version and there are third-party plugins available that will handle the data functions, but to really make things right you need to learn how to write your own code and don't mess with the tools who write code for you that you can not understand and are difficult to change.

    I think that David Powers PHP Solutions book is a good introduction and also includes a tutorial on building a password access system that is fine.

  • can not connect password and username on.forgot

    can not connect password and username on.forgot

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of any other connection.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

  • blocked sign plugin Safari after having tried several times to download the new version of flash

    Downloaded the new flash, and now it does not work on safari. Never had a problem with it before.

    We tested the upgrade script and blocking on a Mac OS 10.6.8 machine and are unable to reproduce the symptoms, but we believe that they exist.  We don't know what the common denominator is yet, however.

    I wonder if a complete uninstall and reinstall of Flash Player can solve it:

    Then, run the Setup program again.

  • Change the new tab and connect to red target icon bright or other high-visibility

    The visibility of the "New Tab" and the sign is very low. That's why I always leave my e-mail homepage to navigate, find or load a bookmark. If the new tab and sign is customizable, I might make it more visible so that I would be called back to click to a new page.

    Thank you!

    The new tab button is customizable and can be moved to another toolbar or position on the tabs in mode toolbar Customize.
    It then becomes a toolbar button that looks different that may look better.
    You can also try to find a theme with a button tab more distinct.

    Classic toolbar buttons:

  • the old version allowed me to save all open tabs by giving it a name, i.e. on 29 April, but I can't find it in the new version. Is there something like this? If so, I really want to come back

    Tonight, for example, I have several tabs open that I would close but reopen tomorrow.

    I would like to save them all as '30 April' in my favorites... the 0ld version allowed me to do, but I can't find it in the new version.

    The only way I don't seem to lose these tabs open, I work with is making "Contol + delete", but I know that this should not be done all the time...

    There must be a better way, but if it does not exist, I would be able to come back and work with the old version?

    Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.

    You can see the difference if you use Alt + F or Alt + B to open the menu 'File' and 'Favorites' and compare them to what see you if you use the mouse to open the menu after completing the bar menus visible by pressing Alt, or by pressing F10.

    • "To bookmark all tabs" (Shift + Ctrl + D) is no longer present in the menu bookmarks unless you open the bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    • 'Bookmark this Page' is accessible through the context menu of the browser page.
    • "To bookmark all tabs" are available through the context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
