Safari will not open any address that I type into address bar

When I type an address into Safari's address bar Safari does not open that website, it does nothing. Also if I enter something in the search box Safari does not go to the Google site.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You may have a corrupted preference file or Toolbar item.
First, open Safari, hold down the option key, then click and drag the Address Bar off the top part of the browser window. It ought to disappear in a puff of smoke.
Next, go to your View Menu>Customize Toolbar. There, you can drag a new address bar back up to the bar, as well as any other icons on the panel. Select "done".
Now try entering an address. If that doesn't solve the problem, go to your Finder. In your User Account>Library>Preferences folder, move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This step creates a new Safari preference file. You'll need to open Safari preferences to customize the settings to their previous state, unless you are satisfied with the Default settings.
Try entering an address.

    I have installed mountain Lion on my MacBook pro , but now safari Will not open any internet pages??

    Try this:
    1. Go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Disable any extensions.
    Restart Safari and test. If that doesn't work, try this:
    2. Create a new location and renew the DHCP lease. See here for the procedure:

  • Safari will not open any webpages

    Safari will not open any webpages. I can hit home page and nothing happens.
    I click on a bookmarked page nothing happens.

    Hello,
    What version of Safari are you using?
    If 3.0.4, check the contents of these folders:
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/Input Managers/
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/Application Support/
    /Library/Input Managers/
    /Library/Application Support/
    If there is anything in them, drag the contents onto your Desktop and retry.

  • I have an iPad 2.  Safari will not open any web pages.

    I have an iPad 2 which I have had for almost a year.  I have never had trouble with my WiFi before and now Safari is not working.  It will not open any web pages.  All of my apps (like Facebook and IMDB) that require an internet connection are working.  Safari on my iPhone is working with my WiFi.  I have tried resetting my WiFi and my iPad and that has not helped.  I took it to an Apple store and they told me nothing was wrong with it because Safari was working in their store.  When I brought it home it worked for a day and is now not working again.  Any ideas?

    From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    Press the red to delete the Safari app from this list.
    Press the home twice button when done.
    Restart Safari.

  • How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

    How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
    Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
    Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
    Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

    Niac --
    What kind of files?  PDFs?  or Others as well?
    If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
    Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
    When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
    Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
    Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

  • Safari will not open any web pages

    Was working fine; no system changes. Wi-fi, network, working fine on all other devices.

    This is for OS7 ( not Mountain Lion)
    The last version of OS7 was obsoleted in July 1997. Can you confirm that you mean OS 10.7?
    Also, are you running any anti-virus software? Any "I'll clean up your Mac" software? Both cause big problems for Safari.

  • Safari will not open any webpages other than my homepage and mail

    App Store connects as does iTunes
    But no web pages I.e. apple.com

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
    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, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or 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 login 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 the test.

  • Safari will not open secure sites

    Safari will not open any secure sites with a secure login. Anyone have an idea why?

    Same issue here and yes, I can get to the secure sites using Firefox, Camino & Opera and no, when logged into the new user account I still can't access secure sites with Safari.
    Also, I have been unable to purchase anything off of iTunes since this issue started. Does iTunes use Safariin some way? Any idea why the two things seem to be linked?
    After successfully browsing Music Store & selecting the desired purchase, I hit the "Buy" button and get an error message saying that iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. "An unknown error ocurred (0x80010003)." It suggests I make sure my network connection is active & try again, but I'm clearly online.

  • Safari Will Not Open Https sites

    Safari will not open any https sites. When attempted, I get the following type of error:
    Safari can’t open the page “https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/. . . . . . . . because it could not connect to the server “support.apple.com”.
    The problem started happening about three weeks ago, probably after one of Apple's updates. I can log on to the same https sites using any other browser. The problem also exists no matter what user I am logged into, including root.
    I have emptied the cache, reset Safari, repaired permissions, repaired the disk using Disk utlility, run ToolTech Pro on the drive, tossed preferences, tossed various keychange files, but nothing solves the problem. There are other posts claiming to have the same problem, but the suggested fix does not work for me.
    Any tips would be appreciated.
    Power Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I also had this problem and solved it. I use Little
    Snitch which establishes rules for blocking ports to
    see when applications phone home. For Safari I
    accidently blocked port 443 which is SSL or https.
    Check to see that you have not blocked this port
    through a firewall setting. Of course if this were a
    firewall setting all browsers would not be able to
    access https websites.
    ****, I thought I thought of everything, but I completely failed to consider Little Snitch, as I could never see myself accidently denying Safari connections. However, apparently I did just that. Thank you, you win the prize.

    I have the most current update of Photoshop CC, but it will not open any files that I have previously saved. They will not open if i use the Open command or if I try and open them from the folder. I cannot create new files either. Is there something I need to fix to get this to work again?

  • Ipad will not open any downloaded apps

    My ipad will not open any apps that I downloaded. How do I fix this?

    If they are crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine.
    If they will not open at all when you tap on the icons - try restarting or resetting the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My MacBook Pro will not open any application or program that requires internet, even though I am connected to the web.

    My MacBook Pro will not open any app or program that requires Internet, even though I am connected to the web. I recently installed Norton AntiVirus and think it may have changed a setting that I couldn't find. I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help. Every time I open Safari, iTunes or any other program that tries to connect to the Internet, it crashes. Strangely enough, Skype still works, but nothing else.
    I have OSx 10.6.8.
    I have tried erasing plists, and all the standard troubleshooting, ie resetting modem, restarting computer, reloading Safari from disk.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
