Problems logging into DU with Mini and OS 10.3.7

[Elwood P Dowd]

My old iMac with OS 9.1 works fine on DU, but the Mini will not log in. The display shows I'm logged in for a second, and then the regular DU shows up again. The two are not networked, and the Mini has no problems with other sites - just DU. I was logged out on the iMac, and it was shut down. Is this a glitch with Safari? Strange.

1. Download FireFox and/or Shiira and see if

that makes a difference.

Have you clicked on the option to stay logged in to DU? Click that and see what that does.

2. Yes, I clicked on the option to stay logged in

I'm going to try again tonight. If I can't get it to work, I will try Firefox. It's funny in that the page shows up as if I'm logged in (with the logout key icon on the right) for a second and then goes away. Never had that happen before in all these years using Macs.

3. I have a mini and I log in fine

You might want to make sure you're running the latest OS if you can. I think we're at version 10.4.4 now.

4. It's up to 10.4.5 I think I know what's happening.

Elad is doing some work on the site. He said there may be some login problems springing up.

6. I hope it works out

:hi:

7. I forgot the message from Elad

that said some people will have problems with the login at DU. So the Mac Mini is OK, it is the site going through some changes.

10. I don't have the bread for OS 10.4.5 right now.

After buying this used Mini, I'm out of toy money for a couple of months. I have to buy the DiskWarrior update and more RAM before a new OS. To be honest, I played with Tiger for a couple of weeks and didn't notice much difference between it and Panther. Some of the added features are nice (RAM hogging Widgets), but I need to do some basic stuff to the Mini before I spend $100.00 for Tiger.

5. I think I know what is happening

8. Thanks. It's working tonight.

I thought because the old iMac logged in okay that the problem was the Mini or Safari.

9. It might have had more to do with when you logged in than

what machine you were using.
