HELP! Safari says cant open the page, too many redirects occurred trying to open (web address) when trying to access research paper sites - doesnt happen elsewhere

Hi there,
Ive been trying to open research articles through google scholar, when i click to open the page it doesnt load and comes up with Safari cant open the page, too many redirect occured trying to open (then the web address). This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which is then redirected to open the original page.
This also happens when i access the databases through my universitys library web page - and it still wont let me load even the actual webpage let along particular article.
This is happening on my ipad as well - but this is not happening on my iphone or on my other lap top which is not an APPLE.
i know its not my internet as i used the same internet on the other comp and i also used it as wifi and without out wifi on my iphone.
PLEASE HELP! i need to study!!
thanks

Safari can not open the page,too many redirect occurred,what can I do to remedy

I see a massage saying safari can not find the site because too many redierect occurred,what can I do to remedy the problem

This has recently (May 2012) become a routine stubling block in Safari. Every hour or two, I have to quit Safari and restart it, just to fill out my timecard. Since iCloud will not be syncing my Safari bookmarks, I will be switching to either Netscape or Google Chrome.

"Safari cannot open the page – 'too many redirects'"

Problem
iPad issue impacting our secure website clients. Error message reads “Safari cannot open the page – ‘too many redirects’”
History:
Recently, some of our secure website clients using Mac/Safari 4.0.5 faced issues, all related to one common problem that went away with Safari 5.0 & Mac OS updates. On all the three occasions, we observed that the error occurred when the HTTPS redirects contained the port number in the URL. During our discussions with Applecare personnel (case number was 350144) we understood that there have been problems with Safari 4.0.5 "not being able to handle port numbers in the URL properly". The issue went away with the launch of Safari 5 and Mac OS updates which followed the browser release.
Understandably, the resolution to the issue was fairly opaque and if I were to hazard a guess on what the problem could have been it should probably be something to do with Safari not being able to read cookies after these redirects.
Questions
1) Have any of you encountered such a problem on Mac/Safari 4.0.5 and are now facing on iPad?
2) Any workarounds / solutions / learning that you have come across and can share
Thanks!!

Hi and welcome...
On a Mac. HTTPS redirects can be the result of proxies. Open System Preferences / Network. Click: Advanced tab then click: Proxies
If any of the boxes on the left under: *Select a protocol to configure* are selected, deselect, click OK.
Here's just one example of the HTTPS / Proxy issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12255869&#12255869
For Safari - iPad. Tap Settings / Wi Fi / Select your network by tapping the blue arrow. Configure network settings there.

Safari: "Could not open the page, too many redirects"

IPAD - Safari: "Could not open the page, too many redirects"
Only one site - but this site works great on other IPAD

What I have done - with no positive results:
Settings | Safari | Clear History | Clear cookies & Data
Also used different WIFI networks

TS3320 "Could not open the page, too many http redirects HELP!!

When i click on a movie on the itunes app it says it cannot open because of too many http redirects. How do i fix this?

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit iTunes if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.iTunes
Caches/QCCompositionRepository-com.apple.iTunes.cache
Saved Application State/com.apple.iTunes.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try iTunes again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit iTunes again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
iTunes
Note: you are not moving the iTunes application. You’re moving a folder named “iTunes.”
Test. If iTunes now works, delete the iTunes folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit iTunes again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with either of the following strings:
com.apple.iTunes
com.apple.mobile.iTunes
Move them all to the Desktop.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Test again. This time iTunes should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes iTunes to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit iTunes again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting iTunes and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

"too many redirects occurred..."

Hello All!
I've used Safari extensively and for a long time, and been quite happy with it.
(for the moment on one of our older Macs; a White MacBook OS 10.5.8 with Safari 5.0.6)
Today I've been having an issue not experienced before, when trying to go to webpages I've often visited, such as my internet bank and my earthlink webmail, and any of the twitter accounts which I follow.
Instead of getting directly to the web address which I enter, there is sometimes an alert about the lack of a proper 'certificate', and the address in the browser switches immediately to a very long address which begins like this:
"http://guidetest.a.id.opendns.com/url=guidetest%2Ea%2Eid%2Eopendns%2Ecom%2F%3Fur l" and goes on for hundreds of characters.
This address causes Safari to respond with:
Failed to open page
Safari can't open page
Too many redirects occurred trying to open (again the same interminable address).
Why is this happening? I've tried resetting Safari, restarting my computer. But I've not accepted or used the 'certificates' which caused the alerts.
So I'm blocked from using webmail on this computer ( but we have 6 others) until I discover what the fix is.
I'd be delighted if this is easily solved!

Thanks Andy!
If I recall correctly, there was a number close to those you gave, but slightly different 208.67.222.220
I erased it and put in the two Google DNS which you listed,
and then (after trying too quickly to see if the changes helped) I applied/saved the changes!
It seems to work! I now could go directly to the webpages I mentioned above.
Andy, I should have clicked "this solved my problem" but I only clicked "this helped me" because the phenomenon remained until I'd the sense to apply the changes.
There are three other numbers on the DNS list which are greyed out and I don't seem to be able to change, they appear to be related to the service and country in which I'm located.

Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred

I have a iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS5 last week. I never had this problem before and now I am having this issue on a couple websites that I have visited almost daily over the past year without issue.
Also now, other websites that requrie logins when i get to them and input my screen name and password, then hit "Go" or "log in" the screen just refreshes and doesnt log in.
This happen to anyone else?

Too many redirects Occurred
Did you have a Developer related query?

How do I solve problem that safari cannot open because of too many redirects?

How do I fix problem that safari can't open because of too many redirects?

Try clearing the browser cache and delete any cookies for that site. If that doesn't resolve it, then that's a problem with the web-site itself, so unless it is your own website, you can't fix it.
Often it's a bug in the website code that detects what device/browser you are using and it gets stuck in a re-direct loop. You could contact the website developers and inform them.

Too many redirects occurred & the address gets appended to automatically

I have started getting...
"Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://www.SOMEADDRESS.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.registratio n&vmcchk=1&Itemid=100017”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page."
...type messages when I attempt to go to certain web sites. Many times in the past I have used the same links to be transferred to the same sites. I have cleared my history and emptied cache without any help.
Following, I have cleared my history and emptied cache, I Quit Safari and Opened it again. Manually typed the address I wanted to go to and my address was appended to automatically with the same address I was having problems with! I cannot go to the Home page of the web site because of this.
Can someone tell me how to resolve this, please?

Use OpenDNS to prevent redirects by your ISP.
Use OpenDNS for better speed and more security. It's free and includes anti phishing filters.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

TS3320 "too many redirect occurred" error message on iPad using a bookmark

I get the error message "too many redirect occurred" when using a bookmark to connect to a site. Safari is disabled in settings. This worked fine for about 5 months. Recently it stopped working. Now the site will only open going straight through Safari. (The error still appears using the book mark with Safari enabled). Cookies are enabled and are cleared off.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
Thanks

Because its an issue with the site programming. It can be due to some cookie or cache on your iPad, but its the actual website that tells the iPad to redirect.
Imagine if you go the store with a coupon you clipped off of a newspaper. when you get to the door, you show the coupon and the guy at the door says you need to use the other door because the coupon says so. So you walk to the other door, and the guy at that door tells you nope, for that type of product you need to go to the original door. So you go back and the cycle repeats.
Eventually you give up and leave, same thing happens with the iPad after so many tries going back and forth between pages or if sent to enough different pages it will just give up since it just can't access anything as it keeps being sent elsewhere.
If its due to Cookies or corrupted cache you can go into Settings->Safari and clear Cookies and history to see if that fixes it.
Otherwise its usually some type of loop being generated by untested conditions in the web page coding, and only the Website owners / programmers can fix it.
Most often its caused by a website sending you to the mobile version of the site, and the mobile version detecting an iPad sends you back to the desktop version of the site, and the cycle repeats there.
