Betty LaRue Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 After changing my password early yesterday I could get in, until later I couldn't. Funny thing on the way to the nuthouse this morning ...I went through the password change again. But I just imputted the same new password I used yesterday and got in. See these faces? My face looking through the nuthouse window. Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Palmer Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Beginning two weeks ago I've also been unable to log in with Safari. I contacted Alamy who suggested clearing cookies and using Chrome. Keep in mind I've used the same Macbook computer for 2 1/2 years and I've always log into Alamy without trouble using Safari. The program autofills my user name and password, and I've never had to clear my cookies. Between Captcha and this new issue with Safari, I rarely bother signing into Alamy anymore.

I signed in just now using Firefox. Safari doesn't work. Won't accept my password. I still had to go through 2 captcha screens with Firefox. Know what you mean about time, I've had two Mac computers over 6-7 years or so, and never had a bit of trouble with Safari until the past couple of months when this nonsense started. I can understand the Captcha, maybe. Keep the baddies from accessing our stuff, or Alamy's stuff. But what is bad is going through Captcha screen after screen only to find your sign in information isn't accepted either. I clear cookies, I make new passwords, if I'm lucky it might work for part of a day before going bad again. Until the last few days, clearing cookies worked. Now it doesn't by itself, I must jump through other hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they don't appreciate is some browsers are very inefficient on the Mac. Chrome, for example, has a tendency to send too many wake-up requests. Far exceeding the 150 per/sec max. Normally this isn't an issue when using software that has a lower CPU/Ram requirements, however, Final Cut Pro x needs as much of it as possible when working in 4k. If google (and X-Rite) happen to go into a Wake-Up frenzy when you're processing a 4k file then bang (most of the time)...... the beach ball of death appears and you lose complete control of your Mac and have to force a shutdown. This happens all the time with a top spec dual graphics card MacBook Pro. I no longer have chrome installed and will never install it on my work computers with FCP X. So, the lazy response of, use a different piece of software as we can't be bothered to fix the problem, is not an option for me. Clearing cookies (for separate reasons) often caused the "Never ending Catcha cycle" to begin in my experience. A professional company should have no problem in providing a HTML5 compliant website. I have zero problems with Captcha on every other website..... just here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyrsis Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Signed in to Alamy about an hour ago on ipad....no problem.

Duncan_Andison Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well, that's it.... I can't login at all on 4 computers, iPad and laptops. I guess I'll just have to sit here and wait for the wind to change before I can login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs sorting out. Exactly. Staff responsible for buying pictures at companies also cannot JUST install a new browser to get around the problem. The companies IT department have to do it and often they won't as it does create extra work to maintain it company wide. The last place I worked at had an old version of Explorer and it took an age to get them to update it, never mind installing a new browser. Most end users don't have privileges set up to install so they can't go behind IT's back to do it either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regen Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 After not being able to sign in last weekend using safari it sorted itself by monday am and has been all right ever since. Still the weekend is coming up so who knows. Regen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Palmer Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm still using the same MacBook Pro with the same software (no updates), but starting 3 or 4 days ago I'm happy to report that I can again sign in using Safari. No changes whatsoever made on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Same problem here, but you can still get into your Image Manager page, if you need to, if you go to your browser history and open from a recently closed tab from the last time you were using that page. The main page with the stats, however, is down right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I have experienced this on and off today as well, but have managed to log on ok after a couple of attempts. I think it's happened before and I put it down to software updates/development. I don't think there's anything major to be concerned about.
