Safari Not logging on Hotmail

Hi every one!
I am a new user to the Mac OSX and I just got my first

I was a Windows user till I switched and boy was I missing all this action

.
Thing is I got this PB with OSX panther on it only problem is that when I run Safari and try to log on Hotmail or my Amazon account the browser tries for some time then tells me that it passed some 60 second thing and I have to try again, mind you I tried and tried, I really hate to get back to my Dell to check my hotmail account or my Amazon account I even tried using the IE that came with the OSX but still that doesnt work.
Please HELP me I searched the web for some solutions but with no luck.

Try Camino. I have found that the one or two web sites that Safari has a problem I can use Camino w/o a problem.

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

Hi,

I just checked my hotmail this very moment with Safari as I do everyday and it worked fine for me. Are you sure it wasn't on their end that it wasn't working for you?

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

I have trouble with Safari and Hotmail too. I can log in, but many times I can't get a tab to work. When trying to empty the junk mail box, I have to go back to the mail tab and then click back to junk mail box. I can empty it on the second try.

Strangly, I tried to use Explorer this morning and it wouldn't let me log into Hotmail. Now I wonder if it is a Safari or other Mac problem.

My Mac is a Digital Audio with 1GB of memory and 10.3.4

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

I use Safari 99.9% of the time for my web browsing and I am able to connect to both my Hotmail and Amazon accounts just fine. You may want to try resettng Safari and dumping your cache (both under the Safari menu). Good luck!

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

this is the message Safari is giving me:

Safari could not open the page https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/flex-sign-in-done/10-49797-2819 after trying for 60 seconds.

and i really don't know what all that means, the same 60 second message i get all the time while trying to log in hotmail.

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

Did you try resetting Safari and/or emptying Safari's cache? It may have something to do with logging into secure sites. Can you log into any other secure sites such as a bank or paypal?

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

Well, I am glad that it is ccleared up, but you should be able to access secure sites. Are you behind a firewall or proxy? Maybe youru ISP or proxy will only allow access to ceertain ports. just a thought.

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

well the thing that is really bothering me is that my other PC (Dell) can log on hotmail and amazon with no problems bt i hate that my New beautiful PowerBook is limited like that. So no i dont think it's an ISP or Firewall thing.

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

I don't think it is a hardware problem with your new, shiny PowerBook. As others have said, download Camino or Firefox and see if you can connect with either of those. Another option is to create a new user and try to log in from that account. Let us know what you come up with.

Re: Safari Not logging on Hotmail

Do try pressing refresh after the first failure. I get this sometimes and it nearly always works the second or third time.

Are you on dial-up? Try making sure you have nothing else downloading/uploading.

It may be that you have a slow connection and https sites take longer to connect to, maybe because they have to encode stuff , and are therefore more prone to the 60-second timeout than http.
