Thanks, Giaguara...but you may have misunderstood. I can NOT access ANY of the the discussion boards since they changed to the new Apple Support Communities. I use my same Apple ID and password I've used for many years, but it won't work. It DOES still work with iTunes, and it's the same...

I am unable to access the new Apple Support Communities with my current (valid) Apple ID and password. It works just fine in iTunes and in the Apple ID account management area. When I sign into the new communities I am redirected to a page that says "my Apple ID can't be created due to...

I didn't actually solve this one...but I did make it go away. I switched back to my original Google account and everything works. The settings are identical, so I don't know why both don't work...but at least my visited links now work in Safari. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Important update. I just tried something and discovered I had some incorrect information in my initial post. When I said this worked properly when using a new, clean test admin account...that was inaccurate. What I was doing was creating the account, then trying the links, which did, in fact...

More detective work... In Safari, I opened the list of cookies, then filtered on "google" and it showed 11 cookies. I tried deleting them one at a time, but even after deleting all 11 the problem was still apparent. It is definitely toggled on/off when I sign out of my primary google...

...forgot to mention that I've also checked my Google online preferences, tried making what few changes that are possible there...no luck. Larry

@fryke: Oh, I would never get angry about something like this :-) I just didn't want Satcomer to, though, as I had previously mentioned the things I'd done. Seriously, I just retired from 20 years in the computing industry and am very experienced in computing, both Windows and Mac, and web...

Please don't take offense...but read my original post...I've done all these things. "I've done all the typical things...repaired permissions, repaired disk, completely reset Safari to default and made sure all caches, etc. were cleaned out...both manually and with Onyx, reset associated...

Thanks, Satcomer...but as my post said I'd already cleared everything out of Safari...both manually and using Onyx. I never had an entries in Autofill because it's always been turned off since I use 1Password. Unfortunately, this is a little more complex than just emptying out the normal...

Something I've done in the past few days has caused Safari to not change color for visited links "only" on Google search pages, which is where it's most needed. This is still working fine on FireFox. I tried creating another user account and it works fine with that...just not with my primary...

Hasn't got anything to do with the browser...it occurs in all both browsers I use as well as Word, Pages, TextEdit...anyplace a spell checker is use.

That was one of the first things I tried. It will not let me add the correct words...instead it auto-corrects to the way it wants to spell them before I can add them and click on LEARN. I tried adding them manually with a text editor to the custom dictionary and that didn't work either. If I...

Before you ask...NOT the custom dictionary...it doesn't contain the words I'm having trouble with. How can I remove "incorrect" words from the basic Mac Dictionary? E.g. when I type the word "internet" anywhere in an application, browser, Google, etc. it auto-corrects to "Internet"...

Just in case someone else is having this same problem, I finally gave up and called Apple Care, and they figured it out. Somehow, something got munged in the Finder preferences. The fix was simply going to Home|Library|Preferences and deleting "com.apple.finder.plist" then logging off and back...

I know there are still problems in networking with Leopard, but this is basic networking and still doesn't work. I'm an experienced computer user, own a computing business, and "thought" I was well-versed in networking (obviously not <g>). I have an iMac and a MBP on my home office...
