Safari can't open webmail age
When I try to access my webmail account at work, I get the following error:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari could not open the page “http://mail.wsd1.org:8383/” because the server is not responding."
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
It's a much more serious problem than that. I haven't been able to open this page for a month and suspect it has to do with a port issue.

Periodically "safari can't open the page" - not a ISP issue
Periodically I will have an issue where I click on a link and anything from the website cannot be opened for about 2 minutes. I get the following message "Safari can’t open the page “https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/” because Safari can’t find the server “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”."
Here are some important notes:
I can access the website on my phone while the issue is occurring on my macbook pro
I can access all other websites
The issue lasts for about 2-3 minutes and all webpages with that address will not work
Any thoughts how to resolve the issue?(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file: Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db and also clear your History)
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page. Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 and later appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML in January 2011: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/26/apple_revamps_its_public_website_u sing_html5.html
The main reason I mentioned your ISP is that their servers may be too busy, which is why I suggested Open DNS. -
Why is my iPad suddenly not opening the Yahoo home page? I get a message saying Safari can not open the page due to too many redirects. This started yesterday, and I have already tried shutting off my iPad.

"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). -
Safari can't open specifics web sites
i'm having troubles to re-open some web sites visited earlier.
I'm on a macbook pro with leopard and safari 5.0.1, all updates installed
Example: www.tgcom.it
The first time opened without any problem, the second time can't open again.
after typing the address and hit the return key, safari display immediately (without even trying to load the page) the white page with the alert:
Safari can't connect to the server.
Safari can't open the page “http://www.tgcom.it/” because safari can't connect to the server “www.tgcom.it”.
I've try already to reset Safari and clean the cache. No changes.
On the same network I have an iMac, which is loading this page anytime without any problem.
As well a windows PC is on the same home network, the page can be loaded too.
Only on this macbook pro i'm experiencing this issue.
I don't know what to think more..... the problem can't be the web-site (it works with other machines)
Other web sites on the macbook are working properly, only three address seams to be blocked from this machine only....
any suggestions???? thanks
MarcoI suspect it has something to do with your ISP.
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given. -
Safari can't open the page on craigslist
can someone help solve my issue: i'm trying to post a sale on craigslist and when i continue to post, safari can't open the page on craigslist because server unexpectedly dropped the connection.
i've gone into preference and cleared the cache but for the thousandth time, i still get the try back later. its frustrating. and i'm new to mac.
help! help!Safari can’t open the page “https://post.craigslist.org/sea/S/for/skc/x/PL7Yes3svlrxTGf6/qpeeb” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later.
thanks for responding. above is the message i get when posting. and its only with craigslist so far. i even added the /index at the end but it didn't work. -
Safari keeps giving and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
Any help would be appreciatedThe "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password. Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls. Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)? If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page. What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Safari can't open the page https
Frustrating to say the least. About a week ago whilst in Google mail, Safari failed to open an email instead it opened a page displaying the message Safari can’t open the page “https"//mail.google.com" etc
A page refresh also failed to open the page as did a my attempt to "Sign out".
Later that day the same problem occurred when I was using my bank's website. Oddly, when I turned to Camino and it too failed to open Googlemail and the bank's site. On my MacBook both sites worked from both applications. Add if I use a different user account on my Mac Pro, I don't have the problem.
My account is a “Standard” user. A logout and back in and it works again, a reboot and it works again but after a couple of hours the problem returns:
Any help welcomed as the following steps have failed to resolve the issue:
Empty Safari cache
Reset Safari
Uninstall Safari 4.0 beta and re-install Safari 3
Re-install Safari 4.0 beta
Swaped ethernet connection on my Mac Pro
Verify Disk Permissions
Repair Disk Permissions
Delete website history with "Adobe, Website Storage Settings panel"
Reset router
Rebooted Smoothwall
ClamXav found nothing
DNSChanger Removal Tool found nothing
iServices Trojan Removal Tool found nothing
removed .GlobalPreferences.plist
Thx
JohnHi John
Google Mail has been problematic on Safari 4. There are a number of threads in the Safari 4 Beta forum addressing the issue.
Thanks for posting the steps you have taken so far.
In a broader sense, security certificates are at the root of secured sites functioning. Those certificates are part of the Keychain file in HD>System>Library>Keychains. Perhaps, the keychain file needs repair. Open Keychain Access in your Applications>Utilities folder. In the Keychains Menu, select "Keychain First Aid">repair. If any errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
If no errors appear, you may have to reestablish the keychain entries in your Standard account. Do you have administrative privileges assigned to that account?
Also, I'm not familiar with Smoothwall's operation/setup, however, some tweaking of its settings may be necessary. Here's some dated technospeak about Smoothwall and Safari. -
You are not connected to the internet - Safari can't open the page
After wake up Mac OS X 10.6.8 from sleep, Safari 5.1.7 on Ethernet does not connect to web servers:
"You are not connected to the internet" "Safari can't open the page"
The issue disappears after restarting the Mac. Is there a way to fix it besides restarting?Some instructions for removing Community Toolbar are available in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15868085#15868085

I am using Safari at my home comuputer (Dell, Windows XP). I recently installed it within the past two weeks. Just this Sunday, I noticed that there are several pages that I haven't been able to view and the same message "Safari can’t open the page “https://cavs.bpcc.edu/” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “cavs.bpcc.edu”" pops up, except it uses the current URL.
What is wrong? Anyone have any suggestions because I prefer Safari to IE7.
ThanksAccording to the URL you posted, there's a link on that page for "Browser Requirements", though it looks as though it hasn't been updated in quite some time. Here what it says they support:
To access Student Self-Service, your computer must be equipped with a browser capable of rendering HTML 4.01 and running JavaScript. The following browsers are known to be compatible:
Windows browsers:
Firefox 1.5.0.1 and 2.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
Mozilla 1.7.12
Netscape 7.2 and 8.1
MAC OS 10.4 browsers:
Firefox 1.5.0.1 and 2.0
Netscape 7.2
MAC OS 10.3 browsers:
Firefox 1.5.0.1
Mozilla 1.7.12
Netscape 7.2
Assistive Technology:
IBM Home Page Reader 3.02
JAWS 5.0
In your browser, you must enable:
JavaScript (required for drop down menus)
SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
So if they don't support Safari, try downloading Firefox instead, and send them some email about their need to support Safari 3.x (a fully standards-compliant browser) for you and all other users immediately.

I am getting message Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding. I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.
This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

My IPad mini hangs on the Internet. Will not start. Have rebooted the home and on / off. There is internet in the house (using it now). Getting the message: Safari can not open the page ...... What do I do?
Try this:
1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.
