Hi,

Go to http://twitter.com/

Make sure you can sign on there as you normally would.

And make sure you are using your admin account, not another user account on your computer.

Delete all Twitter cookies. If you are using IE, instructions here.

Then restart your PC and try using the Twitter app.

I deleted the following preferences:


com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist

com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist.lockfile


Located in folder:


~/Library/Preferences


To access this folder directly, open your Finder, click "Go" from the dropwdown, select "Go To Folder..." and then enter the location listed above - you will find those files in there.


This worked for me, your results may vary.

Thanks for the quick response. I deleted this preference:

com.twitter.twitter-mac.plist, the other one that ends with .lockfile I couldn't find it. After deleting the preference, tried to log in to the app, but still says unauthorized, bummer. Perhaps tweetie for mac works better, weird 'cause I've always used twitter for mac and just recently it started to malfunction 😟
