mac browser problem

#

i must mention this is only in the browser

#

its not just one browser either

#

stuff like discord and spotify stay logged in but browser doesnt

prime cargo
#

Maybe some privacy settings? Not to familiar with macos...

#

i just got the mac yesterday so

prime cargo
#

Huh... Was it second hand or new? If it was new you better ask apple support... If second hand I would try resetting it

still reef
#

i did update it to the latest mac os

#

and it works fine on bootcamp windows

#

no signing out problems

still reef
#

i just need someone who knows stuff about macs

prime cargo
#

I used to own macs... but switched to linux a long while ago. I would try completely reinstalling the OS just to be safe.

#

There are really usefull tutorials online on how to do it

#

which browser, or multiple browsers that have the same issue?

still reef
#

safari and opera

#

just like it kinda resets but bookmarks stay

#

like the cookies reset or something

#

not really familiar with mac os yet soo

alpine pilot
#

in the settings does it block cookies?

still reef
#

#

on opera settings

ok then that's not it

#

had that happen to me on a chrome install 🙂

#

could still be blocking cookies though, somewhere under privacy maybe

#

If the problem persists on multiple browsers and you haven't changed them individually it has to be the OS. The company you bought it 2nd hand from might have changed theses settings to comply with their privacy-policies

#

it was a fresh install when i booted it

#

it was going through install process

#

on chrome here, I have the option: Block all Cookies (not recommended) I'd check for something like that

alpine pilot
#

alright

still reef
#

it was already like that

alpine pilot
#

did read something about the cross-site tracking maybe causing issues

#

maybe turn it off and try again?

#

could always turn it back on if it doesn't help

still reef
#

its off

#

opera even signs me out of my opera account on the browser

alpine pilot
#

ohh dang

still reef
#

but its only the browser

#

doesnt discord app run in browser?

alpine pilot
#

shouldn't do if you have the dedicated app

still reef
#

i have the app and it doesnt log me out

prime cargo
#

discord is running on some sort of chromium stuff. Not entirely sure how it works. Have you tried other browsers? (Firefox, Chrome, Brave)

still reef
#

i mean both of these should work fine

#

ive heard clearing the cache can fix

prime cargo
still reef
#

no the browser cache

#

this is a real mystery

prime cargo
#

It really is... I am not sure what else you could try. I would just reinstall the OS. It takes about 30 minutes. The Problem should be resolved after that.

still reef
#

i just updated to new mac os

#

i had the problem before that btw

prime cargo
#

Maybe the Sys-Admins from the company you bought it from have changed settings that are not being reset by just resetting the device. Reinstalling would be completely deleting the current OS and installing it new from scratch. Thankfully on mac it is really easy.

still reef
#

they will of completely wiped it

#

just written 0s to the disk until no data is recoverable

#

then reinstalled it with a regular instal

#

i joined an apple discord server to see if there is anyone in there who can help

prime cargo
#

They should have

still reef
#

ill keep this open just incase anyone sees it and would know

👍 good luck
