Safari can't open certain pages, can't find the server

Hi
On both my iMac and iOS devices (all connected to same Airport TimeCapsule Wi-Fi network), certain web pages won't open in Safari (specific example www.amazon.co.uk).
Safari returns the message "Safari can't open the page "www.amazon.co.uk" because Safari can't find the server "www.amazon.co.uk"".
Opening other pages works fine.
Have tried Safari option "Clear History and Website data" (all history) without success. Have also tried rebooting the TimeCapsule (disconnecting power cord), also without improvement.
When trying to connect to the same website over 4G on iOS device, no problem occurs.
Can anyone help me?
All software on all devices are updated to latest versions.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Can't open certain pages.

I just got an iMac and have began to use Safari. I really like it.. but oddly, I can't open certain pages that I can on other browsers. (tested this).
xbox.com - log in (or any of the Windows Live ID pages) ex: https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1342238079&rver=6.2.6 289.0&wp=MBI&wreply=https:%2F%2Flive.xbox.com:443%2Fxweb%2Flive%2Fpassport%2Fset Cookies.ashx%3Frru%3Dhttps%253a%252f%252flive.xbox.com%252fen-US%252fAccount%252 fSignin%253freturnUrl%253dhttp%25253a%25252f%25252fwww.xbox.com%25252fen-US%2525 2f&lc=1033&id=66262&cbcxt=0
OR
Any of the mlb.com gameday pages, such as ex: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_07_13_arimlb_chnmlb_1&mode=wra p
I don't know what could cause this. The iMac is brand new, and I am not running any programs/scripts.
Help?

On the xbox log in, I get redirected to the link I provided which just shows a blank white screen with the Microsoft Inc. in green at the top of the URL bar. I get redirected after going to xbox.com -> sign in (at the top right). Cannot understand why.
For mlb.com, I only load the banner in 'gameday', opposed to the reviews, previews, box score, etc.
Makes no sense because on this same Mac, Chrome and Firefox can load these pages.

I've downloaded iMessage and i can't open it...it says: The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later.

My safari don't open certain pages

Hello, I have a strange problem. I like to read newspaper in bangla language for example www.ittefaq.com.bd . My safari in the iPhone can easily open sites with bangla font but the safari in mac freezes with the rainbow circle every time i try to open any webpages with bangla font. I tried to install two bangla fonts still it's not working. Funny thing, even the google chrome doesn't open any bangla font in my mac.
Please help me!

Safari suppose to show it properly
No, OS X does NOT support Bangla out of the box. You must install a font. Did you try this one?

Safari Won't Open Certain Pages

There are some pages that Safari won't open... just hangs. Here are the details:
1. 2 sites affected - https://www.airbnb.ca/ - https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action
2. Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated
3. Opens fine with Chrome
4. Reset the browser settings and no extensions in use other than 1 password
5. They open fine in iPad Safari
6. Reset pram
Appears to be a Safari issue obviously.

Bee: Sorry for that. I'm obviously not talking about you at all. I'm a person who always tries to be very helpful. If I clicked in a thread and the guy posted a couple links saying that they wouldn't work it wouldn't even dawn on me to not click the link and tell the guy if they worked for me or not. Ultimately, a whack of people read the thread and couldn't be bothered to click and report--yet those people I'm sure will be the first to take the help. I'm not impatient about my issue here... honestly. Sorry if I came off unnapreciative in advance and was owly. If there's anything that I can ever do to help you I will anytime.
Klaus: Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated ... what else were you looking for?
(for product specifics, I updated them after the post and could be the reason why they're not showing up. I listed them in the thread anyway. Maybe 2 times a charm??)

Safari can't open certain pages

I am trying to open the parts catalogue at evinrude.com. Maybe I am missing a plug-in? I am using v3.0.4

Hi Daniel,
FireFox tends to be more forgiving of bad coding, which doesn't conform to W3C standards, than Safari. Running the parts catalogue URL through the markup validation service reveals 3 errors. I don't know enough about html coding to tell one way or another if this is terminal, but it could be a contributing factor.
Note that the fault lies with the coding and not Safari. Although it might be hard to see it that way from an end-user's perspective.

My browser won't open web pages for me. The server says it's not their fault and Safari can't find Google

I use Firefox and had several tabs set to open when I logged on. But while these remain open, my browser won't open any more pages, even when the Google search page finds my own web page, it won't open it.
The same thing happened when I tried my Safari browser, except this time it wouldn't even open Google. My server, a broadband/cable company says it has nothing to do with them and blame my laptop or browser. Any suggestions?

I've sorted this out. I did an extensive hard disc search and found old anti-virus software I hadn't shut down or uninstalled. That done, everything's working again, sweet as a nut. Thank you!

Can't open https pages on web

I have an iMac running OS10.3.9 Safari does not open http pages at all. The following message: "Safari can't open page "http://www.(whatever website) because it couldn't establish a secue connection to the server "(whatever website). I have exhausted the Safari & MAC help without success. This started a few weeks ago. Needless to say I have been using a different browswer to access these websites but would like to use Safari again.
Thank you for any help

I hope guessing is allowed.
Your behind a proxy server -- disable it.
You running a third-party firewall -- disable it.
Hawaiian_Starman posts the following and it work for many people.
Quit Safari and add DNS server numbers to your System Preferences ->Network panel.
Select your type of connection and then select Advanced.
In the DNS servers panel enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 if you live in the US and click Apply.
Outside the US - use 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222 and click Apply.
Launch Safari and from the Safari menu select Empty Cache - try the url's again.
Good luck,
Tom

New MacBook air - my safari will not open up pages

safari will not open up pages and icons in the App Store are little boxes with ? In it also my photos are squares with a cloud

On the Mac air look along the top. You will see a section for "develop". look in that list. Make sure the button is NOT clicked that says something about no images. Sorry mine has been fixed now and I had them hide my develop option.

Safari is not able to open this page because it can not find the server.

I too need help with this problem with my Ipod touch. Currently, I am in the Ukraine, go to a wifi cafe, access the wifi and get a clear powerful signal. Then I try to load the Google page, any page from my bookmark or write the web address in and I receive the same message; "Safari can not open this page because it can not find the server." Something is wrong with my settings and I tried to reset the options but it does not work. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 169.254.xxx.xxx address indicates that there is a problem with DHCP server in your BT Digital Hub (Home hub?) because the iPod is taking a default IP rather than been given a suitable one. At the moment the iPod is not even in the same subnet as the router so it's no wonder that Safari can't find the Internet.
Ensure that the DHCP server is on and that you have an IP-address pool sufficiently large to serve all the devices you have. I'd expect it to be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253. If you have FON enabled you certainly need that wider range as other people may be using your router too.

"Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"

I just bought my iPhone. The first time I attempted to log onto my home wireless network (US Robotics Wireless Router) the iPhone performed perfectly. However, the next time I attempted to logon and surf it gave me the "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" error message. I tried a variety of things which didn't work. I called the Apple Tech Support. Turning off the router and rebooting it was the only thing that worked. I thought my problem was resolved because after cycling the router the iPhone worked great once again. But . . . later the same day I attempted to connect to the router and the same thing happened and I got the error message. I attempted to power cycle the router just like before but this time it did not work! Help! Bad router? Wrong settings on router or iPhone?

Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

petriejb,
welcome to Discussions!
The LLBean site loads just fine for me. Besides, the "lost network connection" error and the inability to load Apple feedback page make me think the problem is not necessarily with Java or with one site.
Can you load other pages fine? Please post back.

Mountain Lion is the second release of OS X to be delivered via the Mac App Store. Like with Lion, users can create their own bootable USB key installer to use as a recovery disk or to install Mountain Lion on multiple Macs without needing to download the 4GB installer multiple times.
Ars Technica has an excellent walk-through using either the Disk Utility application that is included on every Mac, or the newly updated Lion Diskmaker app that automates the process of creating a bootable install key.
The biggest catch to the whole process is to make a copy of the Mountain Lion installer before actually installing Mountain Lion, otherwise the installer will need to be redownloaded from the Mac App Store.
