Q: Safari can't open my.yahoo due to too many redirects occurring.

I have an iMac and recently installed new OS 10.11.3.  I don't think the OS is the problem.  Today I was unable to auto open my home page thru Safari.  System Prefs says the computer is connected to my network, but it won't connect.  I was able to get to my mail through yahoo.com, but it's not my.yahoo.com page.  Open to any suggestions.  Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Tried again (a third time) to delete the Yahoo cookies, as well as the Safari cache, and this time it worked like a charm. Very strange - I did exactly what I did the first 2 times. Maybe I forgot to click my heels three times or something...

    Chiming in with the same experiences. Private browsing worked. Then, lo and behold, following Linc Davis's post about removing Yahoo from Safari privacy settings worked, but only after I removed both yahoo.com and yahooapis.com three times. Why the third time did I have no idea. Thank you all for posting about this and helping me solve the issue.

    My MacBook Pro and iPhone 6 have the problem of not loading "MY YAHOO" startup page in Safari since March 6th. I followed the instructions of relaunching Safari, selecting "File-->New Private Window" and was able to get to MY YAHOO page. After I signed in with my password it brought me to the exact content I usually have on my start-up page.  Of course, if I quit Safari, I have to do it all over again ( "File-->New Private Window") but at least it is a quick fix for my MacBook Pro.  (Note, no problem loading in Firefox)

    I have not figured out how to get a temporary fix for my iPhone 6.    MY YAHOO page is still running perfectly on my iPad Pro, so it is not a universal problem.

    This has to be a Yahoo problem. I've done everything above, including clicking my heals three times. I also spent over an hour on the phone with a Yahoo tech who concluded I should spend $400 to have my computer de-bugged! This, despite the fact that I had just run Eset cyber security, Malwarebytes, and one other program; they all said nothing was wrong. Yesterday, after removing cookies, cleaning cache, etc., Firefox, Chrome, and Opera all worked, and still work this morning. Safari, no. IOS is a problem for all browsers. I seem to recall that the inclusion of those big banner ads at the top of the My Yahoo page is new. Am I remembering that correctly? Could that be the source--at Yahoo, of course--of the problem?

    BTW - if anyone has had enough of my.yahoo and the nonsense, there is a very good alternative in igHome.com - I've just customized a page for myself that has absolutely everything my Yahoo page had - and more. I checked it out a few years ago, but they've improved it since - it's highly customizable. Worth a look.
