Ever since last night I have not been able to use the PBS mobile site, using my iPad. I keep getting the message "too many misdirects". To be fair, I also last night updated the operating system on my iPad, and that is when my problems began. Just trying to determine where the problem is...PBS or Apple.

Not having problems at any other site except PBS.

I had the same problem using Safari on my phone. I switched to Firefox and I got in just fine. I also ran the iOS update this morning.

Just finished chatting with Apple. Yes, we tested it with FIrefox and it worked fine so emptied the cache on Safari and I am back in business using Safari. Here are the directions from Apple if anyone else encounters this:

We will begin by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data one more time and also tap Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data to ensure it is all clear as well.

Thank you so much for this information!  This happened to me, too.  Got on to ask if anybody knew what was going on, and found this.  I followed the instructions you provided, Sally, and it worked, I am back in!

The only issue I have is that I can't get to my emails because the menu drops that option. Otherwise works for meÂ
