Youtube Facebook Google etc, Invalid URL error

For many years now I've been putting up with a CONSTANT lingering problem with my Mac OS. These (on a very regular basis) irritating, "Invalid URL" errors.
The picture that you see below is an example of my problem. This example of a Youtube video giving me an error is from a recent article on www.macrumors.com.
Where the youtube video is supposed to be is just an Error. And as I scrolled down the page, all of the subsequent youtube videos had this same error.
So I went to youtube. After typing in the web address, I get the same error except that it fills the entire screen.
After about 20 minutes (of constant screen refreshes and data dumps within safari) the youtube videos finally loaded as if nothing was wrong (as you can see in the second photo).
Sometimes this problems lasts for 10 seconds. But normally it can take between 10 minutes to an hour to begin working again.
The other two websites that give me this same trouble is Google.com and Facebook.com. But Facebook being the most notorious. Not just because my actual facebook page won't load, but because of all of the news sites that load facebook garbage and coding searching for facebook. When the facebook ip address cannot be resolved, these annoying error pop-ups begin bombarding my screen. One minute facebook will work, and I'm reading down the newfeed, then all of the sudden nothing new will load. When I try to refresh the page, I get an error stating that it cannot load the page. Then I just have to wait.
As you can see from the picture below, Sometimes facebook just gives me an error that states, "Safari cannot open the page Facebook.com because Safari cannot establish a secure connection to the facebook server."
This happens EVERY single day. It's really just a crap-shoot whether or not I will be able to get onto Facebook.
Youtube is a little less often (usually happening about 3 or 4 times per week).
Google got so bad that I finally had to change my search provider to Bing, because Google almost never worked.
Has anyone else experienced these problems on their MAC?
I ask because I have 3 MAC computers. 2 Laptops and a MacPro tower.
And EVERY single one has this same problem.
This wasn't such a big deal; ie something I learned to live with... Up until I bought my wife (and Windows Vista convert) her new Macbook Air. And within an hour of booting that thing up for the first time, her Facebook errored out. And has done it pretty consistantly every day, at least twice, since then.
If anyone else has this problem, how did you fix it????????

Here are the results:
I hope someone can make heads or tails out of this.
And please keep in mind that in the past I have completely wiped and reinstalled after reformatting and within an hour or 2 I get the same errors on the these websites.

Certain websites will load eg. Facebook, Google, etc. but others, eg. YouTube will not open. Why? And how can I fix this?

Firstly, I downloaded the latest edition of Firefox. It then crashed several times in a row. This is when certain websites stopped responding and refused to open. I don't know what the criteria are for which websites open and which do not as I have no problems with sites such as Facebook, Google, etc. yet sites such as Youtube won't open.
Also, If I search for something on Google, once it returns results, I cannot open certain websites from the links given to me by Google.
Eg. if I search Google for Musicnotes.com, I can click the link and the page will open. But if I search for my university website, the page won't open.
When I closed Firefox and went to reopen it, all I got was the "send error report" screen several times over. If I clicked "Close" or "Restart" Firefox, nothing would happen, it just returned me to the "send error report" screen. I then restarted Firefox in safemode as well as restarting it without add-ons. But I am having the same problems with opening websites.
What can I do?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Invalid URL Errors

So I've been getting lots of random Invalid URL errors on sites I have bookmarked and some others that I visit frequently whose address I am sure of. For example, I have my gmail account bookmarked and the last few weeks or so it give me the message that "/mail" is an invalid URL then it might say that "/" is an invalid URL. Ten minutes later it will work just fine. Also having the problem with other assorted sites at random times. Never really the same one usually, but gmail does it pretty often. Even searching for "google mail" then following the link does the same. Any idea what thats about or do I need to provide more info?

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies. Delete all cookies or delete the cookies associated the sites you have problems accessing.
Quit Safari.
And, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.

Getting Invalid URL error while creating the app even though it's returning valid content from browser.

Hi ,
i am trying add RSS section with URL http://api.foxnews.com/proxy/content/v2?sort=date desc&omitHeader=true&api_key=cc23011f-3ace-40a4-bb63-bfa654af5bc8&format=full-content-rss.xml&rows=20&q=content_type:article AND image_url:*
AND section_path:fnc/entertainment , and it's giving invalid URL error. like @ Invalid Url, use http or https://[domain]. Please help what's going wrong with this URL content.

I've recently deployed an application in Websphere and HTTPServer and have Oracle on the DB back-end. Tim, apparently your login problem happens inside the Websphere. You will have a better chance to ask this question in IBM's forums.

Getting Invalid URL error

Hi all I am a new developer trying to make the Phone app work. when I try to run the app I get the invalid URL error. I am putting my domain name between the quoetes. Please help
// please insert your web service URL here for exchanging peer ID
private const WebServiceUrl:String =""

you must install a peer id registration/lookup service compatible with VideoPhoneLabs' queries onto your web server. a sample service is the "reg.cgi" python script included with VideoPhoneLabs. you must create the database it'll use according to the schema in the script comment and place the database (and the script) in your filesystem with appropriate permissions for your OS and web server. then you give the URL to that web service as the WebServiceUrl constant.

Invalid URL error when displaying Work Item Attached URL Object in UWL

Hi,
After upgraded from EP6 to EP7 the user can no longer display the attached URL object of work items in the UWL Inbox. It works fine in the SAPGUI Inbox so the URL should be okay. We found below error messages in UWL log file:

Looks like the error is related to the back slashes in the URL but it was working fine in EP6. We are going to change the back slashes to forward slashes to see it will work. We would like to know if any SDNers can provide some more detail on why this is happening and if there is other solution. Any hint will be very appreciated.

Use link attachment or add button action to UWL as possible workaround. It appears that work item text can only be displayed as-is.

YouTube, Facebook, Google Maps doesn't work - says Flash Player is out of date

Hello.
I have MacBook Pro since summer last year. In recent days, strange problem occured. When I want to open either YouTube, Facebook or Google Maps a window pops up saying "WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue." (fig. 1) After clicking on OK, Safari shows page, that looks like Adobe Update page (fig. 2). After clicking anywhere, a setup.exe file is downloaded and thats all. After this, nothing else happens. I still cant view these pages and it is pretty annoying. I tried installing, uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player but it didn't helped. I also searched the web but couldn't find solution. Any help will be highly appreciated.

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

When trying to add Webservice System in VC I get an Invalid URL Error

Hello,
I want to use an webservice in VC. This ws originaly was BAPI_FLIGHT_GETDETAIL. I created the ws out of it and in wsconfig got the green light. Now, if i browse the corresponding system in VC the service doesn't show up. I think this is because it isn't published in the UDDI through WSADMIN. However, the system has no UDDI (I think so because there are no UDDIs showing up in the list). Now I wanted to define an new Webservice system. And here the problem is showing up. I use the follwing URL:
http://192.168.123:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ws_flight_getdetail?WSDL
If I type the URL into my Browser I get the WSDL -> The URL exists. But If I use the same URL in VC I get an "Invallid URL"-error. And this is making me kind of crazy..
Can anyone give me help about this problem?
Greetings, Marco

Hi,
copy/pasted form another similar thread :
"The main reason for your problem is Configuration settings for your portal Server.
some URLs will not be allowed in every Portal.
To avoid this problem you have to do the Proxy settings in Visual administrator .
see the SAP Note :1144698."
Invalid Wsdl ?
And also : https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/vc/webServiceInvalid+URL
Hope this helps !

HTTP 400 Bad Request Invalid URL error when URL contain only percent "%" without any Hexadecimal

Hi All, I'm trying to redirect a custom error page when URL contain percent "%" symbol. But when I use percent "%" symbol in URL (https://mctest.aspial.com.sg/%), its saying below error. I don't want to show this error message. I want
to redirect users to custom error page. I already added custom error page in IIS & Web.config file for status code 400. But It's now working. It's still showing the same error.
Bad Request - Invalid URL
HTTP Error 400. The request URL is invalid
Is there any way to redirect custom error page when URL contain only "%" symbol? Anyone please help me on this. Thanks advance.
Below are my server details:
IIS version 7.5
.Net Framework 4.0

I see, so the issue isn't with the % in the query string but rather the URL path itself. In that case I don't believe this is anything related to your app but rather the web server. When you provide a URL the web server has to map that to an
application. Depending upon where the character falls determines who gets to handle it. Since the % is next to the domain name it is most likely not being mapped by the web server so you get the general 400 error. Since this isn't an app
issue but a server level issue you'd have to redirect at the server level (in IIS: Server\Error Pages). If the % is inside an application's virtual directory then it becomes an issue for the application (in IIS: Site\Error Pages).
But things can get more complicated. The web server generally has filters so it won't support requests for certain things (like web.config in ASP.NET apps). Filtering can be done anywhere between the server and the application. Complicating
this is virtual path providers (like MVC).
To be honest I don't think you should be worrying about this scenario. An invalid % in a URL is a bad request so you shouldn't try to treat it differently than a regular 400 error. In fact I'd say that it could be a security hole (depending
upon what you're doing). So you can customize 400 errors at the server or app level if you want but I wouldn't bother trying to distinguish bad URLs from bad requests.
I recommend you post this question in the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net ) to see if anyone has a better answer.

Invalid url error message

I am trying to use my xmradio online software, and after I choose the station, the quicktime symbol comes up. Then I get an 'invalid url' message and can go no further. What could be my problem?

Hi Jeff,
Hope this is helpful to you and the OP:
What are the system recommendations for listening to XM Radio Online
Looks like you may need to download flip4Mac if I understand the System Requirements and have QuickTime 7 installed.
good luck,

Cant download facebook, google, etc

unable to download free applications like facebook, google etc

i havent been able to download anything the past hour or so.. could be a network issue or something.

Consistently getting invalid URL error

I'm consistently getting following with Safari 6.02. The URLs I'm trying to go to are such uncommon web sites as facebook.com and ebay.com. Seems once Safari sets it's mind to it there is no way around this "error"? I've tried clearing history, closing/reopening safari...still no worky.
The requested URL "/", is invalid.
Reference #9.ac6d19b8.1359073068.1022326c

you must install a peer id registration/lookup service compatible with VideoPhoneLabs' queries onto your web server. a sample service is the "reg.cgi" python script included with VideoPhoneLabs. you must create the database it'll use according to the schema in the script comment and place the database (and the script) in your filesystem with appropriate permissions for your OS and web server. then you give the URL to that web service as the WebServiceUrl constant.

How to share to Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. from an iBook

I'm having a very hard time creating a page at the end of my book where readers can share a quick blurb and my web site on various social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.
My first approach was trying the same version of the Tweet button, the Like button, and the +1 button that you would add to a web site. These *don't* work out of the box because an iBooks HTML widget will not load external JavaScript or anything in an iframe. Has this been everyone else's experience? Am I doing something wrong?
Then, I made a widget that submitted predefined text and URLs to Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ through query parameters (which most of the share buttons do themselves behind the scenes). However, the implementation works but with severe drawbacks. You can log in to Twitter and tweet something but then you can't share on Facebook or Google+ due to the way iBooks HTML widgets handle URLs. Instead of opening URLs in Mobile Safari, like a plain iBooks Author link somewhere in the book text, the widget opens it's own browser window without any UI, location bar, history, or anything. Worse yet, there doesn't seem to be any way to navigate back or reset the widget to the original URL (main.html in Dashcode terms). This means whatever page you end up at after sharing something to say, Twitter, is the page the widget will always open from now on. To refresh the widget and share via another social service, you have to force quit and reopen the iBooks app.
You can see my code and try it out here: https://github.com/avk/iBooks-Social-Widget
The most important files are main.html and js/script.js
The widget.openURL(...) method, which can open links in Safari from a Dashboard widget, doesn't seem to be supported in iBooks HTML widgets.
All this seems wrong and unnecessarily difficult. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Unless both ipads were set up with the same Apple ID, there really isn't.
This does depend on the app however. I don't read iBooks, but there are some e-reader apps like Kindle that may allow you to 'loan' the book to someone else. Or, using an e-reader app, the book can be 'checked out' of a library that supports downloaded books. You have an account, 'borrow' the file, use an e-reader app to read it, and have a certain time frame in which to finish reading.

How to customize the "Invalid URL" error page?

If you type in an invalid page name in the URL you'll get a page with an error message like this:
Error: Not a valid URL. (WWC-50014)
Object not found. (WWC-50003)
Copyright) 2001, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved
We need to be able to customize this error page!!
Can't find any documentation on how to do that. Also searched these forums without any luck.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Customize the template it's not complicated.
You can create a copy of 0BROADCASTING_TEMPLATE70 (e.g. ZBROADCASTING_TEMPLATE70), make some modifications (with BEx Web Application Designer) and assign this template on Broadcasting field of transaction
RSCUSTV27.
Even if you are using Broadcast 7.0, this template is 3.x. So, you have to open with Web Application Designer 3.x
If you want to remove the E-mail field, I think this is ONLY possible via ABAP tables.
Check the table RSRD_DISTTYPE (se16 transaction).
There you can suppress the MAIL distribution type.
Good luck.
