Alright, I know a lot of people are going to groan, but just hear me out... this has been happening for over a week now.

I try to login to myspace, I type my login information in and it immediately redirects me right back to the login screen with the fields blank. It says Hi (Name) as though I have logged in, but directly above that it says "You Must Be Logged In To Do That!"

For a short while I could log in, but only through AOL. I prefer to use my Firefox. Before that I could only log in using IE. Now I cannot login using any of these browsers. I cannot login to my husbands or my sons accounts either. The only thing I have not tried is logging in through another computer. Everyone else I talk to is not having these login issues, so I am starting to think that this is a problem within my computer and not with Myspace.

Myspace customer service has really not been of any service at all, as I have already done everything they have told me to do insofar as troubleshooting this problem, including deleting my temporary internet files, clearing the cookies, searching for my page to ensure it hasn't been deleted (It's there and it's just fine, it even says on the date that I have logged in as recently as today). I have done deep scans of my hard drive for spyware, adware and yadda yadda. I have put it into my trusted zone and lowered my firewall protection to low.

I have not been phished, as I requested my password from myspace and it remains the same. Same with my email address. And yet I keep getting the same lousy generic response from them.

The only thing i can think is that my meddlesome mother in law frequently changes settings on my computer when I'm not here because she doesn't like the way I have my computer set up. Grr. I have no idea what has been changed, because she swears she hasn't touched anything. Somehow the settings just magically change themselves while I am at work I suppose.

Normally I wouldn't care so much but I just sent out a bunch of messages to people regarding my wedding reception and I have no other way of communicating with some of these people other than myspace. It's pretty urgent that I had these responses like... yesterday.

So if anyone can help me wrap my brain around it, I would be eternally grateful and maybe not feel like a total dunce.
Thanks in advance.

I am having the exact same problem, only with Dogphoria and Craigslist (Myspace is still working--at least as of this a.m.). I can log in at work, but not at home. Dogphoria support has been HUGELY helpful, and we have ruled out my settings.

I am taking my laptop later today to Starbucks to see if I can log in using their wireless connection. Then I will know it is my ISP, which is what I suspect.

BTW--Congrats on your upcoming wedding.

For the last week or so I've been having a similar problem with my myspace account. I've been logging in daily no problem and one afternoon I went to log-in and it did just what you said it took me right back to the log-in page and said you must be logged in. So I did all the steps referring to Logging in problems and Myspace Support did not help at all. All they do is continue to send the same automated response no matter what I send to them. I've been sending them emails for days now and they keep asking for information that I already provided them such as my email or password and so on. They have not helped and when I try to sign up for a new account it tells me my email account is already being used...which I'm thinking means my account still exists? When I view my friends pages the box where my picture should be is there with a giant red X through it saying deleted. I know myspace deletes accounts but I had nothing wrong with my account and suddenly it was gone and now I can't get a new one unless I have a whole new email account which is ********. It's really pissing me off they don't help you at all and that is how I keep in touch with tons of people and yet now it's like all wiped out. If anyone knows what I should do or has had the same problem or anything at all please let me know.

Try going through a proxy to get to MySpace like https://sureproxy.com

[alfiedler29]

What do you mean by that? I'm pretty good with computers but could you explain a little more...?

[zacke]

A proxy is a server that connects for you and returns the result back to you, without revealing your address or information.

[alfiedler29]

Yeah I just tried...it does the same thing...tells me I must be logged in..like my account doesn't exist. When I email myspace a question they told me my email didn't exist with an account which doesn't make sense because when I try to sign up for a new one it tells me my email is in use (with an account). This is really confusing and like no one can help me I really am not sure what to do anymore. I'm not dumb...I've been logging into myspace with that same email and password for almost a year now...I know it exists....and suddenly poof it was gone one day...

[TattooedLady9]

The proxy link worked for me, I can now login to myspace via my mozilla and everything seems functional for the time being.

Just for future reference, why is it I can log in through proxy and not my own thingamajig? At least maybe I could narrow down my troubleshoot if I can understand why that is...

Thanks again.

I have this same problem now, but only when I try to log on through a personal proxy. It has worked for months but only within the last few weeks has it stopped. Gives me the same message...must be logged in to do that. Did mySpace tweak there login protocols. Does my proxy server need to be modified to work with mySpace now? Anybody have any clue?

1st of all alfiedler29, your 2 problems: 1st you can only have 1 account associated with and account so your email addy is wasted on your now deleted account, you have to get a new addy to cerate a new acct. try yahoo, it's free and the spam filters a pretty good.

2ndly, if you go on a frinsd page and your acct has a red X, then yes you acct. has been deleted, couldn't tell you how or why but thems the fax of life sorry. new addy, new acct.

Now for the REAL problem:
I've noticed a LOT of ppl have the identical issue, kinda like being in foreclosure, still sux, but at least you know yer not alone.
at first I thought I was locked out due to a possible tos issue. But a friend tried to log on thru my machine and same thing, "Hi <name>, You must be logged in to do that" I believe that some really good stealthy virus/trojan something got on my machine.

History: A little over month or so ago I saw a post in myspace video comments with a pic of tom saying "for a limited time we are going to let parents and anyone look into a select few myspace pages marked as private so you can see what your kids are up to..... but after SEPTEMBER xx, you will NOT be able to get into myspace... anymore" I knew it was BS, some kind of phishing expedition or something, I copied the addy they linked to aopened a new window to send a msg to myspace about it, then followed the link to see what kind of scam it was ad ther was a form asking for the private act you wanted to look at, and I think Your info... so without following it or anythign, I copied what was there and pasted it into the msg I was sending to myspace, so they could be aware of this scam going on in their name..... forgot all about it.... then in SEPTEMBER Blam, no more access to my space... co incidence?... I think some malcontent person created a superstealth anti myspace trojan that has so far gone undetected by Zonealarm or AVG or anything else.

I am also highly suspicious of links on myspace pages that go to "htt;p://msplinks.com/<blablahblah>" usually a very long string of text not related to what the link is for. Some are legit, but many are to nefarious "who knows what", and you have no way of knowing until you click on it.

I know this isn't a direct answer but I hope it's enough clues for someone to look into

it is hard for me to sign up. Everytime I try to finish signing up, myspace bring me to Google homepage. I have tried sureproxy, but that did not work. can someone please help me?
