Error 404 when trying to add any internet account to Mac I am trying to add my gmail accounts to my mac in order to synchronize my calendars with the native calendar app. Whenever I click on the plus button to add an account, a Safari browser opens asking me for my log in details. I successfully log in. Then it asks me if I am ok with giving the required permissions. When I accept, it gives me a 404 error stating that the request was malformed and it should not be retried. Attached is a screenshot of it. Things that I've tried are: 1) Setting Safari to be my default browser 2) Clearing the Safari cache 3) Restarting the computer None have been effective. Could use some help! For reference, I am using Sonoma 14.3

Are you clicking on a fie & it opens?

Does the URL bar start with file:// instead of https://?

Might you have set your Homepage to a File?
