A MacBook Pro & Myspace question:
Hello there 
I wonder if anyone can help me with a problem....
I am completely unable to log into my Myspace account from my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem? (i know - who uses Myspace anymore anyway?
)
As you can tell, I am pretty tech challenged! I'm not even sure I'm asking this question in the right forum!
I't driving me bananas.
Thanks in advance.

So you CAN log in on other computers?
What are the symptoms, anyway?
If you give us a bit more specific info, we should be able to get to the bottom of it...

As requested....
The symptoms:
Every time I type in my password in the 'password' box (underneath the 'email' box), it redirects me right back to the log in page. This happens over and over until I give up with a familiar sigh of resignation.
I cant even contact the host webmaster person by email....'cause one must be logged in to do this, it seems.
Utter poopage!
(did that make any sense?)
Oh, and yes ~ i *am* able to log in from my friends pc & my iphone.
But this conundrum has me baffled and loopy!
Does that help attall?

Sorry about taking such a long break... Been busy
I'm on my iPod right now, so I can't post a precise walkthru, but that sounds like it may be a cookie problem. So, what you can do is to go into preferences and clear all cookies. But that will make you have to log in manually on every web site, so it might be better to delete the MySpace cookie manually. I'll have to check where Safari on Mac keeps it's cookies, cause I'm not sure right now.
If deleting the cookie and restarting safari doesn't help, clear all cookies and restart safari. If that also fails, clear cache as well (thru preferences box). If that still doesn't work, download Chrome or Firefox
Dan
P.S. I'll be back tomorow... I hope this helps at least a bit
I'm gonna check and see....
Be back.

Dear dear Day...... No 'sorry' is needed. Ever. Being busy is a fine way to be....
I'm appreciative of any, and all help - no matter when it lands in front of my face.
I've just returned from a wacky 4 day excursion myself, and am far too tired to raid my laptop pantry for wayward MySpace cookies.
(read: have to figure out exactly how to extract the vexing bastards with the fumbling tweezers of techno-inequity!)
So, it's off to pillow-town for me....
(Those cookies better watch their pompous asses tomorrow morning though...)

Ummkay... it actually seems much easier than i thought
You open Safari, then click "Edit" in the menu bar.
Select "Preferences", which will be the last thing in the list.
Click on the "Security" tab in the Preferences window that just came up.
Click "Show Cookies", which will bring up another window.
In the search box at the top, type "myspace", and if hopefully all cookies shown say "myspace" and not mixed with another site, just click "Remove All", then confirm. Click "Done"to exit the window. Close Preferences.
Restart Safari and try logging into Myspace again.
Hopefully this should work. If not, let me know

Glad to have helped
As someone who's been doing tech support for years, i don't think twice about it... A lot of the tech is built by engineers for engineers (and takes an engineer to understand in detail), so it's only natural for the average person to be lost at times.
Apple is usually the exception, but even there, one might need to know where to look.
Anyway, if you need anything else, please come back and post here, or ask me personally. Just post in the Genius Bar next time, because General is more of a tech lounge type forum section
