404 Forbidden erros with Safari only!

I've been having very strange problems with Safari when attempting to access two of my domains (both Wordpress sites hosted by Hostgator).
With one domain, I can log in to the Wordpress admin panel but problems happen once I do.  For example, I just wrote a new post in Wordpress and when I hit the "preview" button, it returns a 404 error.  I got the same 404 error when I attempted to save the draft.  There are other small issues, like an image I added to the post is not showing up even though the link is correct.
With the other domain, I can't even login to the WP admin panel.  I get a 404 error.
But here's the strangest thing about it: all of these problems only happen with Safari! If I use Firefox or Chrome I don't experience any of the issues.
I'm also having trouble accessing these domains using a blogging application called MarsEdit, and the Wordpress iPhone app.  Apparently both of these apps share the webkit framework with Safari.
I tried clearing the internet cache with Cocktail, and emptying Safari's cache and clearing cookies.  No effect.
I've never even heard of something like this.  Any ideas?

Anyone have ideas about this?  I've been searching the forums & Google in vain.

  • Website shopping basket cookies Problem With Safari only

    My website shopping basket uses cookies and works find in all browsers except Safari, I have traced the problem to the £ sign, if the £ is present in the items description with I can't add the product, if I leave the £ out or use $ it all works fine, has anyone seen this problem before

    Consider TenFourFox. It is a port of a later version of FireFox that was never coded for PowerPC Macs. Sites see it as a fairly recent version of FireFox. What TFF does not fix is web video content that was never optimized for PowerPC, and the current version of TFF does not suport plug-ins so Flash video is out.

    I'm using it on a G4 MDD 1.25Ghz minitower with architecture similar later PowerBooks and it keeps that computer on the web for many tasks. It has become the "go to" browser for most people here who still like to use their pre-Intel Macs.

  • I can not connect to a web site using aol/ google with safari , only yahoo will connect to the site

    I find i can only connect to some sites using yahoo.  google and aol will not allow me to connect , what do I do?

    First off, AppleTV doesn't give web access.
    Second off, Apple's classic operating system compatibility with many websites is very limited.  That's the operating system available in virtualization on Macs made prior to early 2006, and as a boot operating system on Macs on or before 2003.  
    So without knowing what you have that is compatible, we can't give you really good advice on what to make it work.  Identify your Mac, if you have one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2881
    And tell us what version of the Mac OS you have in Apple menu -> About This Mac.    Mac OS 10.0.x does not run on AppleTV.    Then we can tell you what operating system support you should be able to get, and what browser support you should be able to get.

  • I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  Thanks for any ideas!

    On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2.  I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing.  Thanks for any ideas!

    Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it.  I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

    Safari 4 was for Tiger 10.4.11, and Safari 5 for Leopard. Neither will work on a system running Mountain Lion.
    Surprising that they have never updated their system!

  • HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI???

    HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI??

    Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

  • Cannot log in to Google "Accounts" with Safari

    I cannot seem to login and use Google Services with Safari 2.04.
    This started when I discovered I was unable to log in to google calendar in Safari, and became a support ticket to Google (which is still pending) and is really confounding me.
    What happens is that I go to go to http://www.google.com/accounts and attempt to login. Once I hit the submit button, accounts page plainly refreshes. However, if I put in a totaly invalid user or password, I will get a message telling me the user or pass is invalid.
    In Firefox, if I attempt the same scenario from google.com/accounts, after submit, I get the page that shows me all the services available for me to use, like gMail, calendar, etc.
    Here's what I've already tried.
    Safari troubleshooting...
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Safari
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Caches/Safari
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    - backup/remove ~/Library/Cookies
    After removing all the above, Safari is basically back to Apple's factory default settings. Even after all this, Safari still cannot log in. The same behaviour occurs when I hit the submit button, I'm just brought right back to the same page I started at, and am not logged in. Calendar never renders, or I'm left looking at the accounts log in screen.
    It's notable that this issue does not appear to be specific to my google account, but specific to one particular Mac I use. I am able to login to google/accounts on my laptop, but not on my office machine using Safari.
    To make it even more mind numbing, it seems to be specific to a user profile on my office Mac. I tried creating a new user account on this same machine, and with the fresh clean home directory, was able to login to google accounts, calendar, etc. So, obviously, a totally clean home directory, library, app support, etc results in usability.
    I'm not sure where else to go with this. Are there other supporting files to Safari within my home directory that I missed removing to set it back to "clean". I cannot imagine the problem being specific to the application bundle for Safari since each user on the computer is using the same one, this behaviour must be related to something within the user home directory somewhere.
    Anyone else seen this same behaviour and know how to fix it, preferably without just creating a new user and home dir.

    Hello Jim,
    Check your router for firmware updates,not being able to sign into only 1
    or some sites has been a symptom for some users see this topic,
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=635607&tstart=500
    The other thing to check for is a firewall on your router that may need
    adjusting.Are you using Net Barrier?
    Post back & let us know, how you fare.

    P.S you did make sure to QUIT Safari before removing the cache folder
    etc.. correct, if it is not QUIT it will recreate the same corrupt, files & or folders.

  • Open source shopping cart wont open with safari

    Hi all...
    I'm designing cart templates for a company that supplies an interface for uploading product to an open source shopping cart. The problem is I can't open the shopping carts with safari. They are fine with firefox and on a PC. (forgive me for swearing) The sites are open source carts based on php scripting with a lot of compressed data. A software interface is used to upload products etc... The error I get is
    "Safari can’t open the page “not sure if I can put the link here as it is a business”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011) Please choose Report Bug to Apple..."
    It's the same for all the sites using the carts.
    Is there a fix at the user end or does safari simply not have support for these carts. Any help would be awesome....

    PCI Compliance. As a merchant (online or brick & mortar store), you must take necessary steps to ensure your customer's CC info doesn't fall into the wrong hands.  One way to do this is to pass your online customers off to a 3rd party processor like PayPal or Authorize.net. These companies are experts in safely gathering sensitive data, encrypting it and transmitting it to your payment Gateway and Merchant Bank account.  This way, your customers never enter any sensitive data into your site's databases which avoids a lot of headaches for the web developer and merchant.
    Server Security. Use a reliable web host. I can't emphasize this enough.  Cheap hosting is no bargain especially if your host doesn't take reasonable steps to secure their servers at their end.
    Lock down your php scripts & form log-ins to defend your site against possible hackers & robot exploitation.  If your site is ever compromised, you will need reliable backups of your Site files and MySql data.  Make sure to backup these files regularly and store them in a safe place.
    Backend log-in.  Use strong, encrypted passwords -- 17 characters, upper & lower case with symbols.  If you can remember your passwords, they're not strong enough.  I keep mine written down in a Rolodex.
    Change the Admin log-in name to something less obvious like GrandHighExhaltedMysticRuler or something only you will recognize as the site's admin level user.  It's also a good idea to change your server, database and backend log-ins regularly.
    Finally, consider running SecureLive on your web server. I have it running on a dedicated server and this software has more than paid for itself.  It identifies hacker attempts, blocks the user and sends the hacker's IP address to an FBI database.  SecureLive - Home

  • I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.

    I updated my IPhone 3GS to the new 5.1 operating system and have since had a range of problems with not only my phone but also my IPad.
    Programs (Safari, mail, messages) keep crashing, mail will not delete properly (some will keep popping into my inbox again for no reason!!!), slow, settings lock up etc. etc.
    This only seemed to become an issue once I updated to ios 5.1 and funnily also affected my Ipad even though i hadn't updated the software yet. I have since updated the software on my ipad thinking it might help too but that only made things worse!! So I am not sure if it's an ICloud issue, but when i try to disable ICloud my devices lock up as well.
    The battery life is also shocking!!
    I have hard reset both devices, restored both devices, reset the setting and tried a whole host of other suggestions (like closing background programs) on this forum buit nothing works and i am tearing my hair out.
    I looked in the phone and ipad log and there do seem to be low memory reports though i don't know why these are occuring now when they never have before??
    I don't know if I can restore the old operating system (If I can please let me know how). The phone or ipad are not jailbroken.

    but you should have a backup in itunes.
    Every time you sync your iOS device iTunes creates a backup. go check if its there, iTunes Preferences >Devices. and there you should see if you have a backup, and in case from which date the backup is.
    And ofcourse you can get your icloud data back by just logging in with your Appleid under icloud in settings on the iphone.
    But anyway, if the iPhone works when you restor it as new: try adding your backup, and see if the issue comes back. And experiment with your backup and try to work out what is causing the issue, my guess is that its some app!   Good Luck!

  • Is there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly?

    Greetings everybody,
    I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
    I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
    On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
    If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
    THEN
    The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
    Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
    I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
    Thank you very much for your time and help!

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.
