i can't access GMAIL the whole of yesterday. i am using Safari 5.0.2, it just stop working yesterday. i was stumped. i tried accessing GMAIL by taking off my bookmark and entering the URL (i.e. www.gmail.com) directly into the URL bar a.k.a the address bar of my Safari, but nothing works. i tried googling for a solution but my search came up empty. the problem was Safari detected multiple redirection by the website that i was trying to access, and stop loading the website. that was the notice that Safari gave me. i am not sure why this occurs. if you have the same problem as me, there are 2 ways which you can go about searching for a solution (other than googling): you can either head down to the
Apple Support forums (or any Mac forums) or try figuring it yourself. i did the latter...
if you are having the redirecting issue on Safari, the solution is simple:
RESET your safari. so how do you
reset Safari? just click on Safari menu bar, scroll down to 'Reset Safari...'. under the 'Reset Safari...' you have a bunch of check boxes for options such as empty cache, clear history, remove all cookies et cetera. check the box corresponding to the 'clear history', 'empty cache' and 'remove all cookies'. depending on you priorities, you can check other boxes as well. for me, i unchecked stuff like 'reset top sites', 'remove all website preview images' et cetera and made sure that i checked 'clear saved names and passwords'. once you are satisfied with your selection(s), just hit the 'Reset' button and you are done. you should now be able to access GMAIL :)
