How to log into the full version of VKontakte. How to download music and videos from VKontakte via Safari? How to use VKontakte offline

It happens that the mobile version of VKontakte opens, but you need to log in full version(for computer, regular, web version). How to do it?

You cannot access the full version in the mobile app on your phone. It is best to use a browser on a computer, laptop, or tablet. But you can also use a browser on your phone (Safari, Chrome), but it will be very small and you will have to enlarge it. Here we talk about all the ways to log in to the full version, on all devices.

How to switch to the full version

If you are currently on mobile (m.vk.com), you can switch from mobile to full mode yourself:

How to open the full version of VK on your phone

Attention! For mobile application this advice does not apply (an application is a program installed on your phone with the “VK” icon). The full version can be opened in the mobile version site VK, which you access through a browser on your phone (for example, Chrome or Safari) at m.vk.com.

  1. Open the main menu in the mobile version ( button in the upper left corner in the form of three stripes).
  2. Scroll down if you can't see all the items.
  3. Click "Computer version".

You can also open the full version of VK simply by following the link (more on this later).

On a phone, the full version will look small, so you will have to move the image with your fingers to make it larger and get where you need it. But if there is no other device besides a smartphone at hand right now, this is a completely workable solution.

How to quickly open the full version of VKontakte

You can open the full version of VKontakte via home page"Entrance". Open it at vhod.ru, find In contact with and click there. You can connect your page using the button "Entrance"(you will need to give access permission) to always see if you have new messages and other events without going online. You can enter the full version of VK with one click on the rectangle "In contact with", and also quickly open messages, online friends, new comments, etc.

How to open the full version of VKontakte using the link

The full version of VKontakte can be opened directly using this link: Full version. The full version is also called “regular”, “normal”, “web version”, “computer”, “desktop”.

How can I make sure that the link opens the full version of VK, and not the mobile one?

Example.
Was https://m.vk.com/vhod_ru
It became https://vk.com/vhod_ru

In exactly the same way you can correct the address in address bar browser to open the full version of the same page you are on. You need to click on the address bar, remove the letter m and the period at the beginning, and then click Enter on the keyboard (or button “Go”, “Open” in the browser itself).

Why do you need the full version of VK, why is it better than the mobile version?

Only in the full version are all the features of the site available that are not available in the mobile version or in phone applications. For example, creating a request for support agents. In addition, in the full version there are no restrictions when restoring access to the page and, in general, there are much fewer problems with this - especially with attaching photos and entering a confirmation code. It also makes it easier to understand the reasons for blocking a page and unblock it. Therefore, for such matters, we recommend always using the full version of the VKontakte website.

Why is the mobile version opening?

This usually happens because someone posted a link like m.vk.com...- this letter “m” at the beginning of the link leads you to mobile version. It’s just that that person was using his mobile phone and copied such a link from himself. When other people click on it, they end up on mobile. It’s okay, because now you know how to access the full version of VKontakte!

Why doesn't something work in the full version?

Most often, if you have problems with the full version of the VKontakte website, it means you have problems with your browser. Clear temporary files, reinstall it, update or install another one.

Updated

The website from which you could download the VKontakte client has stopped working. The developer reported that he could no longer support its functionality and offered installation for a fee.

The title of the material contains a popular question that often interests our readers. Just a few months ago we had to advise users on rather stupid alternatives, but now, thanks to the growing number of useful plugins for Safari, the situation has improved. We present to your attention the plugin Vkontakte.Ru Downloader for Safari.

What is required from a decent plugin for such tasks? Stealth and ease of use, of course. The first requirement is implemented remarkably well - the plugin does not add any left buttons to the toolbar, for which we are very grateful.

As for the second requirement, judge for yourself. After installing the plugin, next to each audio file, next to the Play button, a button for direct download:

The developers managed to integrate a wonderful feature into the plugin. Click on the duration of the song and you will see file size in megabytes and its bitrate:

On the video viewing page, two additional links will appear instead of buttons:

Now about how to install the plugin. File with extension .safariextz, In theory, it should open immediately in Safari. But it often happens that attempts to launch it do not lead to any noticeable results. To fix the problem, Quit Safari completely (Cmd+Q) and only after that run the plugin file.

The day has come when you, as usual, decided to log into your favorite social network, but then it just doesn’t work out.

And you don't understand why this happens. Well, let's solve this problem together.

First, answer the question, what happens when you try to log into vk.com?

Fast forward to the answer you need:

The VKontakte website (vk.com) does not load?

There are several explanations for this:

VKontakte login and password don't work?

The answer to the question and the solution is very simple!

First, make sure that you enter your username and password correctly:

  • Make sure you enter the password in the correct language, for example, you enter a password using Russian letters, but it is on your English keyboard layout;
  • Make sure the caps lock light is not on on the keyboard, otherwise the password will be entered incorrectly;

Are your login and password still incorrect? Then an attacker most likely stole your password and changed it. But you can restore access to your page back, if the page is registered to your phone number, which you have at hand.

Restoring access to the VKontakte page

Click on the link “Forgot your password?”, enter your phone number to which the page is registered (or e-mail, or login), click “next”. You will be asked to enter the characters from the image (captcha), and then confirm whether this page is yours

After this, a code will be sent to your phone number which you need to enter in the form provided and click “change password”.

Well, after that we just come up with a new password.

After this, you will be able to log in to VKontakte again, with the same login, but with a new password that you came up with.
To avoid errors, you will also receive another SMS on your phone, in which you will be reminded of the information you entered so that you do not forget or lose it.


Are they asking you to send an SMS when you go to a VKontakte page?

Everything seems to be as usual, but they ask you to send SMS for money.

You think that Pavel Durov, the creator of the VKontakte network, is to blame, and that the day has come when you will have to pay for it, or there are some technical problems and in order for everything to work you need to send an SMS. But this is absolutely not true!

Very often people think that their VKontakte page is blocked, or there are simply problems with the vk.com site itself and it does not work, but this is absolutely not true! To check this, just go to your VKontakte page from your friend’s computer and you will make sure that everything is fine with it.

This means that your page is not blocked. What happens then, why doesn’t he go to the vk.com website? The answer is simple - a virus or Trojan program has entered your computer, which blocks access to the site and requires you to send a paid SMS in return.

Such messages can look very believable and as if on behalf of the VKontakte administration, but this is not so.

Remember once and for all, the above-mentioned social network never requires money from you to access your page.

One of the ways to infect your computer or gain access to your page is to send you a link in a letter on behalf of your VKontakte friend, whose page has already been hacked, or whose computer is already charged. You click on it, do some actions, and the next day you cannot get in touch.

Think before you click on such links. More often than not, messages with such links may make you suspicious. For example, you have never communicated with this person (and you don’t remember when he became your friend), and then suddenly a message comes from him: “Hello. How are you? Follow this link, there is something interesting written about you))).” Under no circumstances should you fall for such tricks from scammers.

A file similar to vkontakte.exe could have arrived on your computer, which automatically opens a window reminiscent of the VKontakte site, but this is a fake page, that is, not real, very similar to it, where various errors appear when you want to view your page.

Do not send the SMS that you are asked to send.

This will not give you access, but after one SMS they will require a second, then a third, and so on. At the same time, you constantly have from your account mobile phone Tidy sums will be written off. And you can also infect your mobile phone.

How to solve a problem?

  1. Firstly, install an antivirus. If you have it installed, then update it. Perhaps its anti-virus databases are long outdated, and for this reason it did not protect your computer from hacker attacks.
  2. Secondly, search for the vkontakte.exe program on your computer. If found, remove it immediately.
  3. Third, edit the host file on your computer, which may have been modified by a virus. We will dwell on this point in more detail, since in most cases this is the reason.

How to find and edit the host file?

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. This means go to drive C, then to Windows folder, then to System32, drivers and finally to the etc. folder.

In order not to take a long time to get to the etc folder, as written above, you can simply enter C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc in the address bar of Explorer and you will be taken to the desired folder.

There is hosts file. Open it using the standard Notepad program.
Remove everything from there except this line:

127.0.0.1 localhost

and save the file.

Can't save the hosts file?

If you cannot save the hosts file - you are denied access, then click right click mouse on the hosts file, select “Properties”, then “Security”, then click “Edit” and select users,
(click on the image to enlarge and view it)

check all the boxes and click “Apply”.

After this, you can edit and save the hosts file. But when you edit this file and save it, then return the permissions to us. This is important for safety.

How to prevent such problems in the future?

1) Use antiviruses with constantly up-to-date (fresh) virus and Trojan programs databases;

2) Before entering your username and password from the VKontakte page, make sure that the address vk.com is accurate in your browser.

Due to your carelessness, you can give your password to an attacker by simply entering it on a page very similar to a contact, with a difference in address of just one character, for example 1vk.com;

3) Create a complex password for the VK page and email. Don't just use letters or numbers, but alternate them, and also use large and small letters, also alternating them.

If you are currently using a simple password, immediately go to the page settings and change it to a more complex one.

This will protect you from password guessing programs. Don’t wait until you are hacked and I will send spam on your behalf;

4) Do not download suspicious programs or add-ons for contacts, which, according to the creators, increase friends, likes and votes;

5) Don't open suspicious emails, which come to you by e-mail and do not follow suspicious links in VKontakte messages, even if it is from a person who is your friend (but with whom you have not communicated before).

Remember that scammers do not sleep, and are always finding new ways to make money from you. Be careful and good luck.
