Hotmail not working on mac

Frustrating! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some common solutions to get Hotmail working on your Mac:

  1. Check your internet connection: Ensure your Mac is connected to a stable internet connection. Try opening a different website or app to see if the issue is specific to Hotmail.
  2. Update your browser: Make sure your browser is up-to-date. You can check for updates in your browser's settings or preferences.
  3. Clear browser cache and cookies: Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can resolve issues with Hotmail. Here's how:
    • Safari: Go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data, and click "Remove All Website Data".
    • Chrome: Go to Chrome > Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data, and select "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files".
    • Firefox: Go to Firefox > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data, and click "Clear Your Data".
  4. Disable extensions: Disable any extensions you've installed recently, as they might be causing the issue. You can do this by going to your browser's settings or preferences and toggling off the extensions.
  5. Check Hotmail's server status: Visit Microsoft's Hotmail status page to see if there are any known issues or outages.
  6. Try a different browser: If the issue persists, try accessing Hotmail using a different browser to see if the problem is browser-specific.
  7. Check your account settings: Ensure your Hotmail account settings are correct, including your username and password. You can try resetting your password if you're unsure.
  8. Disable firewall or antivirus software: Temporarily disable your Mac's firewall or antivirus software to see if they're interfering with Hotmail's functionality.
