Safari  5.1.2 does not load

I bought a brand new laptop from HP in September and within a week of getting, adding nothing more than a few starwars games, i installed Safari 5.x (i'm not sure the exact version). I opened it up and no webpages would load. I can access settings, open new tabs, the works. I simply cannot browse to any website at all. I can type in a web address and the loading bar starts, but then hangs all day at like 10%. All other web browsers I've used work fine. So I uninstalled it. Again today I downloaded and installed safari 5.1.2. Same thing. I'm wondering what the problem is and have tried the netsh winsock reset trick and reinstalling etc. Nothing has solved it. I downloaded 4.0.5 while typing this and that does not seem to be working either. iTunes works fine. I have no proxy settings. My firewall is turned off. Could there be some other program that conflicts with Safari and only Safari?

intel i7 2630qm 2GHz Quad core

all drivers up to date
p.s. please dont make a post saying that you have this too and stuff, its a pet peeve. just hit the "I have this question too (x)" button.

Systemwide ... that suggests trouble with program files (either Safari or Apple Application Support) rather than settings or preference files.
We'll try a complete uninstall/reinstall of Safari and Apple Application Support, taking a few additional explicit precautions just in case. Best to print off a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a fresh copy of the SafariSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the uninstall just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Quit any recent version of iTunes for Windows, QuickTime for Windows and/or the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows if you have them installed and open. (They all use Apple Application Support, and may interfere with the AAS uninstall if they are open.)
Uninstall Phase
Head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel. Uninstall Safari. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
(From this point onwards, recent versions of QuickTime, iTunes and the MobileMe Control panel will not launch, until we get AAS reinstalled by reinstalling Safari.)
Next we'll remove any left-over program files and folders.
In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Right-click on the "Safari" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Staying in the "Program Files (x86)" folder, open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "Apple Application Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your Recycle Bin.
Reinstall Phase
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the SafariSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall Apple Application Support.)
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did the reinstall seem to go through properly? If so, does Safari launch properly for you now?

  • Safari 7.0.1 does not load large images

    When I use safari and try to load an image with a resolution above, say, 2000x2000, I get a black box, sometimes with a grey area in the corner. The correct image displays for a brief moment, about a half second, but not enough for my viewing pleasure. This usually happens when I click imgur links on reddit, such as this one. I just searched a very large image on google, and was able to load it no problem. I've tried turning off all extensions, but even with no extensions the images do not load. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

    Turning auto graphics off solved the issue for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxSlQ-GNbik
    Seems like Safari won´t render large images when you are using integrated grapchis.

  • Safari 2.0.3 does not load the URL's I type

    Hello,
    can anyone help me? I have installed OS 10.4 with that came safari 2.0.3? OK!
    but now I cant load any URL that I type in my browser? It does work when I choose a bookmark. But thats all.
    Is this a common problem. Or has it something to see with the firewall at my job?
    help please...

    hello
    i am finding the same thing with safari.
    I click on a link on my own website and it says 'page not found on this server'. However I know the page is there because it is my own site! Also the site loads ok in Firefox.
    I get the same problem with images on some sites, they don't load however much I click refresh.
    I also get problems with this very site on Apple, I have to click a link several times before the browser loads it, otherwise it just sits there and hangs.
    When I first got Safari 2 I moved over from Firefox because Safari was faster. I don't know what Apple have done but they have thrashed a great product. I have now moved back to Firefox, using version 1.5 which is much better than the latest Safari.
    I am ashamed of Apple.

  • Safari, at times does not load images on webpages, is very slow, or doesn't work at all. Rarely does it operate as one would expect.

    iMac 27" 2009 intel core 4 gigs of ram, 1tb HD, Current operating system. 2 user accounts, myself, my fiancee's. Each with iPhones so each setup to utilize iCloud. I have disabled 3rd party plug-ins once with only short-term effects. There are other issues with the computers performance and I have spoken to apple support regarding them multiple times. Some include iCloud not syncing properly to the iMac (though it does to phone and online), Finder windows getting "lost" between "digital desktops". Desktop image not syncing across all "digital desktops". iTunes often has issues with syncing with and playing from my iTunesMatch account.
    Safari's issues include it not loading any images on a website, when trying to load a new page by typing a search in the the url it won't even begin to load a page, sometimes it is very slow to load a page, a lot of time it will spend 5+ minutes "attempting" or not even visually attempting to load a webpage without warning the page can't be found, and then of course there are the "page can't be found" warnings as well.
    Very much thanks in advance,

  • PowerPoint Movie does not load in Safari on iPad

    I borrowed a friend's iPad to learn how to use it. It was gift she received a few months ago from her family. So, it is this year's model.
    Upon doing so, I thought I would check one of my website's that has PowerPoint movies on them. I chose Safari as the browser.
    I found out that the two movies on my website would not load. They load perfectly well when I am using desktop computers including other platforms than the iMac or MacBook. My MacBook has Mavericks and the two pages load. Ditto from my iMac using Mountain Lion.
    The website is constructed using the latest version of iWeb.
    I wish to know why the iPad using Safari does not load the two movies.
    Here are the URLs for each page:
    http://lanark-baldersonpastoralcharge.ca/Inspiration_Motivation-1st_Year_Student s.html
    http://lanark-baldersonpastoralcharge.ca/The_Four_Candles_Proverb.html
    I would appreciate assistance.
    Thank you!

    Well evidently she was born in New Orleans, but raised in
    Oakland. So, yes I would say the content is loading. Don't know
    what to tell you. What version of Safari are you using? What
    version of the Flash plugin is installed? Can you directly enter
    the url and have the page open?
    There appears to be nothing wrong with your loadMovieNum
    code. Perhaps there is something wrong with your preloader code?
    A guide layer is just that, a guide layer, and it will not be
    published. The best way to do it depends upon how you are making
    this. You can simply put a black square behind the text. Or if you
    are using dynamic text boxes you can turn the background property
    on and set the back ground color. Or if you are using buttons just
    go to the hit area and add a some drawing.

  • Safari 5 does not load properly.

    Im using a MacBook Pro (Late 08) w/ Snow Leopard and Safari 5.0.1
    Pages do not load for me at all.
    For instance id go to www.espn.com and the loading bar in the address bar goes and stops www.esp|n.com, just like that..and same goes with every other website out there. After about 10 to 15 minutes it finally loads the page but the page does not load like a normal page, its all on the left side looking like a cell phone site back in the day.
    I need anything that will help me out. That actually works.

    HI,
    Login to another user account. Try Safari there. If you can load pages in that account, then log back into your user account and try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads web pages as it should, them move the .plist file to the Trash.

  • Safari does not load the website

    Hi,
    I am running MAC OS X 10.4.7 using Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3).
    Ever since I started using this computer (1 week back) Safari just does not load the pages. The website that I am trying to load is http://www.apple.com/startpage/ or the default page of Safari as installed. This also happens with many other pages.
    The browser starts loading the page and the blue bar just stops mid way and nothing happens post that. I have waited for almost 20mins for it to load, however that never loads. If I press the Stop button, I do see the partial HTML thats loaded in the browser, but the page never loads completely.
    My internet connection is fast, since I am able to load the same page or any other page in FireFox with no problems.
    Can you please support me with what to look at to resolve this problem?
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi! Yes I have experienced similar difficulty with Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6). Although I am using Safari to browse this site now, it does seem prone to reject some sites. When it works it work beautifully. There must be a gremlin glitch in there somewhere!
    All I can suggest that that you switch to another browser such as Netscape 7.2 or Firefox to resolve this issue as and when it happens.
    Happy surfing!

  • OS X Lion--Safari does not load pages. Updated OS X Lion and Safari does not function

    I updated to OS X Lion and now Safari does not load any pages.

    Actually there would be more than two possible reasons, but I appreciate your input.  To answer your questions, YES and YES.  All other machines and devices in the vicinity als work flawlessly though have not been upgraded (?) to Lion.
    After the install of Lion, Safari stopped working.  It loads a page OK then with no movement on my part it goes to a grey screen with the indicated message.   I force a reload and it may or may not work, then suddenly goes to the same grey screen again.  Over and over again.  I haven't lost connection, not have I lost DNS connectivity.   The program after upgrade has failed and Safari is telling me in a manner which I have never seen before that it cannot load the page, despite the facxt that it has already loaded and then lost on its own.  When I boot from a backup Snow Leopard Disk it reverts to a functional system with Safari Ok.  I have removed all remnents of Safari and restored with same problem. 
    Of course, one cannot go back from Lion and Safari 5.1 will not install on Lion so the problem would seem to be uniquely particular to the upgrade as repeated by many others on the net.
    I'm open for suggestions but not accepting the possibility of a software glitch is no help.
    Thanks again,

  • Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (latest) does not load video on some sites

    Since updating the Flash player to 10,1,82,76 many sites with flash video does not load content and usually stays black or showing a loading icon forever. Same result in all browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
    One example is revision3.com, where flash video never loads. However, flash video loads fine on youtube.com for instance. I have been trying to uninstall, reboot, repair permissions and install again with the no success.
    Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
    Thanks!

    Odd. Revision3 works fine for me. In fact the opening shot of the video I tested is someone sitting at a desk with an Apple Macbook!
    As you get the same error in all browsers, try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player:
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Windows Media Player for audio on one website does not load?

    Hi Anni,
    Welcome to  discussions
    Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
    You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
    Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
    Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
    Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
    Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
    Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
    Can you view Youtube & google vids?
    • If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
    the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
    If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
    Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
    Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
    • Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
    Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
    annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
    Good luck,

    None of the people in my team were able to solve this issue.Well if you provided your team with the same amount (none) of information you provided here, then I would understand.
    Please send in your suggestions as to why this is happening or if there are any known bugs in IE.Personally, I think it's the flux capacitor.
