Safari 13.0.4 Broken on Apple ID Logins?

Hi:

Safari 13.0.4 on my High Sierra MBP broke yesterday It works fine on all logins except those requiring my Apple ID. I can login to everything requiring my Apple ID, and everything else, using Firefox and Chrome on this machine. Also, Safari works fine in all contexts on my Catalina MBA. Below is a screenshot showing the type of message I get when Safari on my High Sierra MBP fails to get me to a login screen where I would need to use my Apple ID. Help?

Hi donv! Yes, it's been broken since yesterday afternoon. Same here with Safari 13.0.5. The PTB are aware of it and they are working on it. Hopefully, they'll get it sorted soon. I really don't like Firefox and I refuse to use Chrome as I do not like being tracked!

Yes, more fun and games. Maybe the problem isn't all that widespread. I guess we'll see. It would be annoying if Apple wouldn't take responsibility for breaking something that is of significance to undoubtedly quite a few faithful users, something that is connected to its Apple's cornerstone, the Apple ID, and the Apple software that is suppose to feed into this cornerstone, Safari.

Eric and macjack:

Victory is sweet. I decided to upgrade my problem machine, the 2017 MBP, to Mohave. Yes, Safari now works again as it should. My victory is just a lucky one me thinks, but still yay!!! Try it Eric?

I have a couple of applications I use on a regular basis that aren't compatible with Mojave, so I am in no hurry to upgrade. Maybe the Apple Software Destruction Engineers will fix the High Sierra/Safari problem, but I doubt they will.

Yes, that is what I meant. As mention above, I solved my High Sierra problem by upgrading to Mohave. Also, I had two Sierra machines. Safari worked correctly on both of them. One of them is a mid 2011 11" MBA. Contacts weren't syncing on it, and I could not figure out why not. So, I upgraded it to High Sierra. Contacts now sync, and Safari on High Sierra works correctly. Go figure.

I now have decided that the problem is not as widespread as I thought. Indeed, given the number of posts here, I think it is was restricted to only my 2107 High Sierra MBP and your High Sierra/Safari 12.1.2 machine. 😂

I don't know why it works in Catalina. But folks are reporting that it does. Maybe Apple is trying to get all of us to upgrade? 😎

Nice! But I'm hanging onto my mid 2010 iMac until the wheels fall off.

I am not sure the Mohave upgrade will be better. But, good luck.

Thanks. Apple still seems to being very secretive about the problem. As far as I know, it has not been on the news, and it's sort of a big deal.

I see. If so, no kudos to the ASDEs. Do you feel that the problem is confined to just those two?

If you mean High Sierra/Safari, based on what I have read, that is the only affected OS where Safari can't sign into Apple sign ins. Older OS versions work and newer OS versions work.

I solved it by upgrading to Mohave. See above. Thank you though.
