fixed : Microsoft 365 error warning that JavaScript is turned OFF

Posted on 06-01-2025 by MacManus.nl
Reply

Question :
I am trying to use Microsoft 365 (previously Office 365, including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and OneDrive), and even though everything used to work fine up until recently… today it gave me an error message saying that it need JavaScript to enable me to use the options I am trying to use…

What is wrong and how do I fix this ?


Answer :
Microsoft 365 (previously named Office 365) relies on JavaScript for most (if not all) functionality that is web-based, so if you have (accidentally) switched JavaScript OFF, you will need to turn it back on before you can fully use Microsoft 365 again.

The problem probably is that you recently switched OFF JavaScript by accident… so the solution is probably simple : just switch JavaScript back ON.

To switch JavaScript back ON in your Safari browser, do this :
– open Safari.app
– click Safari in the top menu bar (top left, next to the Apple logo)
– in the pulldown menu, click on Settings
– in the window that opens, click on the Security icon/tab
– then at ‘Web content:’ make sure there is a checkmark for ‘Enable JavaScript’

To switch JavaScript back ON in Google Chrome browser, do this :
– open Chrome.app
– click the three-dot-button (top right)
– then click Settings
– click Privacy & Security
– then click Site Settings
– then click JavaScript
then choose one of three options :
– allow JavaScript for all sites, by choosing “Sites can use JavaScript” as the default behaviour
– allow JavaScript for most sites, by choosing “Sites can use JavaScript” as the default behaviour AND excluding specific websites
– allow JavaScript for very few sites, by choosing “Don’t allow sites to use JavaScripts” as the default bahaviour AND excluding specific websites

To switch JavaScript back ON in the Opera browser, do this :
– open Opera.app
– click Opera in the top menu bar (top left, next to the Apple logo)
– in the pulldown menu, click Settings
– on the Settings webpage that opens, clcik on ‘Privacy & security’ in the left menu bar
– in the list page that opens, click on ‘Site Settings’ (in the Privacy & Security chapter)
– in the Site Settings page that opens, click on ‘JavaScript’ (in the Content chapter)
– in the JavaScript page that opens, choose “Sites can use JavaScript”
– then, if adjustement to the general rule are needed, go to the “Customised behaviours”, where you can exclude or include specific websites to use JavaScript

To switch JavaScript back ON in the Microsoft Edge browser, do this :
– open Edge.app
– click Edge in the top menu bar (top left, next to the Apple Logo)
– in the pulldown menu, click Settings
– op the Settings webpage that opens, click on ‘Cookies and Site Permissions’ in the left menu bar
– in hte list page that opens, clcik on ‘JavaScript’ (in the All Permissions chapter)
– in the JavaScript that opens, set the slider to the right (so it will turn blue) and it will say “Allowed (recommended)”
– then, if adjustments to the genaral rule are needed, at “Block” add the sites you want to specifically prevent from using JavaScript and/or at “Allow” add the sites you want to allow specifically to use JavaScript

Note : in the Firefox and DuckDuckGo browsers, JavaScript is enabled by default and there is no user-friendly setting to switch it OFF (or ON).

That’s it !

fixed : Mastermind login page stays ‘Sign In’-button is greyed out

Posted on 06-01-2025 by MacManus.nl
Reply

Question :
I am trying to login to the Mastermind startpage to do watch some Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi videos and get some feedback from their Gigi AI-chat-agent, and even though everything used to work fine up until recently… when I try to load the Mastemind startpage at login.mastermind.com I do get the login page and I can fill out both my login-name and my password, but the ‘SIGN IN’-button is keyed out, and no error message is given…

What is wrong and how do I fix this ?


Answer :
A lot of webpages use Java Script, especially (but not exclusively) login pages, account pages and online fill-out form pages. The Mastermind login page is one of them.

The problem probably is that you recently switched OFF JavaScript by accident… so the solution is probably simple : just switch JavaScript back ON.

To switch JavaScript back ON in your Safari browser, do this :
– open Safari.app
– click Safari in the top menu bar (top left, next to the Apple logo)

– allow JavaScript for most sites, by choosing “Sites can use JavaScript” as the default behaviour AND excluding specific websites
– allow JavaScript for very few sites, by choosing “Don’t allow sites to use JavaScripts” as the default bahaviour AND excluding specific websites

To switch JavaScript back ON in the Opera browser, do this :
– open Opera.app
– click Opera in the top menu bar (top left, next to the Apple logo)
– in the pulldown menu, click Settings
– on the Settings webpage that opens, clcik on ‘Privacy & security’ in the left menu bar
– in the list page that opens, click on ‘Site Settings’ (in the Privacy & Security chapter)
– in the Site Settings page that opens, click on ‘JavaScript’ (in the Content chapter)
– in the JavaScript page that opens, choose “Sites can use JavaScript”
– then, if adjustement to the general rule are needed, go to the “Customised behaviours”, where you can exclude or include specific websites to use JavaScript

To switch JavaScript back ON in the Microsoft Edge browser, do this :
– open Edge.app
– click Edge in the top menu bar (top left, next to the Apple Logo)
– in the pulldown menu, click Settings
– op the Settings webpage that opens, click on ‘Cookies and Site Permissions’ in the left menu bar

fixed : TikTok ‘Couldn’t create account. Try again’ error

Posted on 12-11-2024 by MacManus.nl

Question :
Someone send me a link to a TikTok-post that apparently is a must-see for me… but when I click the link on my iPhone, the TikTok.app opens and telles me I need to login…
I do have the Tiktok.app installed on my iPhone, but I can’t remember if I even have a TikTok-account… I checked in my iCloud-saved password-keychain, but there is no TikTok-apssword there… maybe I had an account, but I can’t find the password, so I chose ‘sign up’ to create a new account using my eMail-address… now everything seemd to go okay, I actually get a verification code send to my eMail-address, but when I use the 6-digit code, I get an error message saying “Couldn’t create account. Try again.”
So, I tried again… same problem, same outcome…
And this problem seems to persist after multiple tries…

What can I do ?


Answer :
This error message problably comes up because the TikTok verification system is seeing ‘something out of the ordinary’ in your attempt to create a new account… (which could just be that you didn’t input your date of birth because it wasn’t asked… you started creating an account when you installed the TikTok.app long ago, and then you quit during the account creation process, and never got to creating the account then…)
Anyway, the solution is this :
– on your iPhone, long-press on the TikTok.app icon
– when the popup window appears, choose “Delete” (not “Delete from Home Screen”)
– then check if the Tiktok.app has been deleted from your iPhone
– now, open the AppStore.app and lookup the TikTok.app there
– then, reinstall the Tiktok.app
– when done, open the TikTok.app and create a new account (using your tel.nr. of eMail-address)
– now you will be asked to give your date of birth before you get the verification code, so fill out you date of birth
– then, on the next page, typ or paste the verification code that was send to you via eMail (or SMS)
– now, the verification code will be accepted, so proceed completing the account creation process and you’re good to go

That’s it !

fixed : in Reviewing mode in MS Word my spouse’s name appears instead of mine

Posted on 05-09-2023 by MacManus.nl
Reply

Question :
I am currently editing a Word document on my Mac, and was asked to do so in Review mode, so everybody I will send it to will be able to track the changes I’m suggesting. But with each edit or change I make to the document, my spouse’s name is added to it instead of mine…

As my spouse is in no way involved in the content or the editing and reviewing of this document, I don’t want others to get the impression she might be…

So, how do I fix this ?



Answer :
The problem you are running into is that your spouse has logged in to her Microsoft Account on your MS Office (maybe to reach her OneDrive or something) and she forgot to log out… here’s how to fix this :

To switch the Microsoft Account from MS Office365 (mainly used for school and business accounts) to Office 2021 for Mac (mainly for private use), do this :
– open Word
– in the top menu bar, click on ‘Word’
– in the pulldown menu that appears, click on ‘Sign Out’

When done, the ‘Sign Out’ option will disappear from the pull down menu, and no ‘Sign In’ option will appear there… so you need to use a different route :
– open Word
– in the top menu bar, click ‘File’
– in the pull down menu that appears, click on ‘New from Template…’
– in the new window that opens, click on the ‘Sign In’ button top-left
– now a login window will open where you can use various ways of signing in (if you have the MS Authenticator app on your iPhone, the easiest way is to select that option to login)
– when logged in, your name and initials will appear in the place where the ‘Sign In’ button used to be

That’s it !

My child has used my Mac and MS Office on it to login to their Microsoft Account to be able to use my printer. Now, when I want to save something in MS Office on my Mac, it is connecting to my child’s school OneDrive…
