Safari not showing secure site images (blue question marks)

I have Safari 4 installed on my Windows laptop. I am having a problem viewing secure sites. All that appears is the text and then blue question marks where the images/tables should be. This is not a problem when using Firefox, Chrome, or IE.
This is also not a problem on my other windows computers nor on my Mac.
I've tried resetting Safari, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safari, nothing is working.
Any idea how to fix this?

I too am having this problem. I cannot access my gmail, ebay, facebook, or other login sites. If I attempt to access any site that requests user and password information, a safari dialogue stating "safari can't verify the identity of the website "...."". So far I've assumed that all of my certificates are comprimised. I don't know how to delete my certificates to get new ones as this information is not posted anywhere.

Images show up only as blue question marks

I just purchased a new Macbook Pro approximately one week ago, and concitering it's BRAND NEW I don't understand why I have this problem. On sites like www.deviantart.com and also www.weheartit.com images show up as blue question marks... I have downloaded both chrome and firefox to check if they were any different, but the same images wont load there either. I've read some about this, but no one seems to have any other advice than to "check preferences" and set it to "show images" or something, as far as i can see there is nothing wrong with the preferences. I have also downloaded and updated to the latest versions of both java and flash, but nothing seems to work. This is getting really frustrating, and I am desperate for help! I greatly appreciate ANY advice. Thanks in advance

this is what I get on deviantart
and well, basically this is weheartit
Thanks!

Safari not displaying web site image

I have a website that is suddenly not displaying the header image in Safari and IE5.2.
I have my suspicions that it is due to a JavaScript from Google to run their Analytics programme which I installed a few days ago, (and will shortly remove it to confirm the suspicion or otherwise.)
But first I wish to check if other people are experiencing the same problem, or if it is localized to my computer. (Need to be able to inform Google if their script is the fault and affects all Safari users or only some versions. So please check the site and report results here, including your Safari version. Mine is Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac.
The site is http://www.paintmaking.com
What I see in Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Camino is a flash title over a colored background with a photo.
Thats what I saw in Safari until recently too. But suddenly all I now see in Safari and IE is the flash title over a gray background, no photo, and above the menu bar a very thin strip of color (about 1mm, 1/16in). The sidebar images are unaffected (and those images at the side work fine in all the browsers), it is just the header.
Can you please tell me what you see and the browser version?
Tony

Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
Updates:
I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?

Safari Not Allowing Secure Site

I updated my Mac Software to OSX 10.4 this morning and I've been noticing some issues with Safari 2.
The main issue is it won't let me open pages that require a secure authentication (for example it wouldn't allow me to access to login page for the Apple forums -- I'm here with Firefox now). It brings up a page that says cannot open page.
I've also tried it with my bank and credit card and get the same response.
Any idea what's the problem here?

You're welcome. Glad you got this sorted out. The anchor keychains are critical for accessing in Safari any secured site.
Regarding 10.4.6, the most stable version of OS X is either 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 Also, these two versions contain the latest security upgrades for Safari.
Download access for 10.4.9 may be found here. As with the previous post's recommendation about 10.4.10, important to "repair permissions" etc. if installing. Also, do not use the computer during the installation phase.

Safari not showing all the images in my Facebook feed

In the category of “small and annoying problems"…
For the past while (since Mavericks?) I’ve noticed a tendency for the images not to load in Facebook. Not all, just some. and they do come back if I hit refresh…but it is unusual in performance. This, I freely admit, could be a Facebook problem. But I was curious if anyone else out there was having the same problem…
><({(º>

iTunes is indeed using the second feed you list but this immediately redirects to the first feed when you enter the URL in a browser. Presumably you have a redirect in place on the server? There are 115 episodes in the Store, and though I didn't count the ones in the feed they seem to match. So it all seems to be working and you could probably just leave it alone - since you have added episodes to the feed and iTunes has (presumably) picked then all up, the redirect seems to be working there OK. (Next time you add an episode to the feed, make sure it does indeed appear in the Store - after a couple of days - and when subscribing - this latter is immediate).
If you really want to change iTunes to the feed directly you are going to have to go through a bit of a process:
1. Copy the feed at http://construct.wickedbad.net/feed/podcast to the other location at
http://construct.wickedbad.net/archives/category/mixes/jaime-le-dubstep/feed
2. Add the redirect tag to this copy feed as indicated here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#changing
3. Remove the server redirect.
4. Leave the copy feed in place until iTunes has swapped over (check this by subscribing from the Store page, clicking the line for your podcast (not an episode) and clicking the 'i' button at the right-hand end.

My Mac App Store has some images not showing... just a question mark.

My App Store is not rendering some images... both in the general store and inside actual app description pages...
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
I am on a new 2012 15" MB Pro.
Here is a screenshot...

Try restarting your Mac.
I can see all the images on v10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
If restarting doesn't help, try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.

Blue question mark in a box

pictures in my email on my Ipod Touch just started showing up as a blue question mark in a box but were working fine yesterday

Hi Rex,
Who is your ISP and what addresses do you have set in the DNS section of your System Preferences -> Network preferences?
Have you tried logging into a different user account on your machine to see if that has the same problem? This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> [+] to create a test one (and [-] to remove it if needed)
Also, do you use any third party internet software (Norton, Intego, etc.)?

Safari broken image link question mark in a blue box icon

The url I get the safari broken image link question mark in a blue box icon most often is "apple.com/startpage/". There may be 10 or 12 of them. However, most apple.com pages have at least 1. In fact I am looking at 1 right now. I have emptied the cache. I do not wish to reset Safari because I do not want to reenter all of the passwords to various sites. Is there a simple answer?

On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

Getting blue question mark for images in Safari

Hi guys
I have MBP 15", early 2011, 250 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 10.10 Yosemite OSx and I am facing problem recently is that some images in Safari 8 browser won't open and instead blue question mark will arise . I have friend of mine using ipad2 and I asked her about this issue but the images opened with her smoothly. any suggestion.Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

Blue question marks for slide shows buttons.

Good day iWeb list,
All of a sudden the Play/Pause, Back and Forward buttons for my slide shows have turned into a generic looking blue question marks.
I noticed one other user having a similar issue a while back, and I believe the remedy was to re-publish the entire site. I've tried that to no avail. Resetting cache has not affect as well.
Any thoughts?
You can witness this issue by going to my web site below and then click on the "Woodworking" page to view the slide show.

Thanks as usual, Gramps.

Gramps-
I've noticed that safari 4 sometimes does the ? thing with images... almost like it doesn't finish loading sometimes. Not sure if it's provider traffic or safari related but it can be annoying.

(SSL?) Certificates, Safari, and blue question marks

Recently I ran into some trouble with Mail and messed around with my certificates and Keychain a fair bit. Nonetheless, everything seems to be fine, except Safari. A problem I would run into intermittently before now dominates my online experience.
I encounter images being replaced with blue question marks very frequently. Additionally, on webpages with logins and forms (e.g. eBay, Paypal), the formatting of the page is nearly nonexistent. Fonts, pictures, all missing--everything is just mashed together. I can still login, though. Before loading any webpage on which this happens, Safari notifies me that the page might not be secure. I click continue, and voila, blue question marks.
If I then Ctrl-click on one of the question marks and choose "Open image in new tab", I get a certificate error, usually with what appears to be an image server. The message usually goes something along the lines of, "Safari can't identify the identity of the website "images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com". The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com" which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?"
If I then click "Show Certificate", I see that "This certificate has an invalid issuer" If I check the box "Always trust these certificates" and reload the page, the image shows up. If I then go back to the original page and reload it, all images appear. This also solves my problem with forms and page formatting.
However, this is obviously a pain. And a bit disconcerting, to boot. I've tried clearing the cache, resetting Safari, reinstalling Keychain and Safari via Pacifist, to no avail.
Any thoughts on navigating this issue? It seems to occur primarily (if not entirely) with SSL certificates. . .
Hopeful,
a.

Hi, aresnick, is that as in old lace? on the very long state named road?
I looked in Safari help for "SSL certificates" in 10.3.9 and in 10.4.7 this term "Certificate". Irregardless both give the same message:
Accessing websites that require a personal certificate
If you need to access a website that requires a personal certificate, you will be provided with a certificate and instructions for installing it in your keychain.
Once your certificate is installed in your keychain, you should be able to gain authenticated access to the website automatically.
If you are unable to access the website, contact the website administrator.
continue Safari Help: Deleting data saved from web forms
If you select the option to automatically complete web forms using information from other webpages, Safari saves information you enter. You can delete this information, if you choose.
Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click AutoFill. Click Edit next to the "Other forms" checkbox. Select the item you want to delete and click Remove. If you want to delete all the items, click Remove All.
If you don't want to use data from other web forms, deselect the "Other forms" checkbox in the AutoFill pane of Safari preferences.
The Blue question mark and images do not appear appear, safari help:
Images don't appear
If webpage images don't appear, the option to display images may be turned off or there may be a problem with your network.
Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Appearance. Click to select "Display images when the page opens."
If the option is already selected, trying reloading the page. Choose Reload Page from the View menu.
Therefore if i were you I would follow the instructions listed from Safari Help. I would also Reset Safari, which clears the history, empties the cache, clears the Downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names and passwords or other AutoFill data and clears Google search entries. (see reset Safari in Help for more info)
Then run perm. repair & a restart of the computer.
You might want to look into updating to 10.4.7 following same steps as underlined in a. brodies in link posted to you earlier, in this thread.
Good Luck.
Hth. Please post back to let us know, how you did .

Safari not showing some text on phpBB3 Forum

When I go to the main page on my forum using Safari, where it says "no new posts" at each section it shows up as a box with a blue question mark as if it's an image. When I go to the same page using any other browser, camino, firefox etc it shows up as text. There is no image there and I don't know why safari is looking for an image??
If I ctrl click on the question mark and copy image address it gives me an address that is a resulting 404 not found.
My forum is www.mezerik.com/forum Please any safari user have a look and tell me if you get the blue question mark.
Any ideas why this is happening and how it can be fixed. It only happens on that website.
