Can't open the page ---- because can't establish a secure connection

I recently upgraded to 10.4.8 and had no apparent problems.
There may, however, have been one resulting problem in that when I try to open one of my bookmarked locations, I get a message
"Safari can’t open the page --- because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server"
I tried emptying the cache and that didn't help.
Any thoughts ?

thanks

Safari can't open the page because couldn't establish a secure connection

Hi guys,
I am writing on behalf of a friend who is encountering the problem described in the post title.
He cannot even create an account with apple forums and post a question by himself.
He cannot access emails and other accounts like Facebook.
However, he can log in to stuff like "The Guardian" paper (UK newspaper).
So I used the search tool and I got him to trash preferences, trash bin and restart machine.
Repair permission, check if parental control is on. All that done to no avail.
I asked if he has recently downloaded updates, he said no. Asked if he has firewall or antivirus active, answer: no.
I am a video guy and have never experienced problems with Safari, however the specs of his machine suggest he's on an old one:
Power PC G4
Mac OS 10.3.9
1Ghz CPU
Safari 1.3.2 (312.6)
Do you guys have any idea what the problem could be?
Would you like more information to help you to help us?
I would be very grateful if you could shed some light on this issue that my friend is experiencing.

Create a new User Account and test for this Safari problem there. If it occurs, it's a system-wide issue. What sites is he attempting to create a secure connection to, and has he ever been able to do so before this problem started?

"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).

When I try to get on the internet thru safari at home, on my network, I get a pop up that says Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet. How can this be and how do I fix it?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other device connect?
Did the iPod connect to this network before?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings

- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hello Beckieor,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning network issues:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Marc-
The Safari message is probably telling the truth. Is the problem repeatable at several websites, or is it only with a particular one? If all websites, you may have trouble with your internet connection downloading large amounts of data. Mail messages are relatively small unless there are attachments or embedded images.

TS3274 MY IPAD STATES 'SAFARI CUOLD NOT OPEN THE PAGE BECAUSE THE SERVER STOPPED RESPONDING". HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS?

MY IPAD STATES " SAFARI COULD NPT OPEN THE PAGE BECAUSE SERVER STOPPED RESPONDING" HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS?

Sometimes there's a hiccup in the router and resetting the router like diavonex staes will solve the problem.
Sometimes though, the website you are trying to visit has an internal problem with its server. In that case you can only wait until they fox it.
If other websites load properly and only one is having a problem then most likely the problem lies in the web server of the site you are trying to visit.

My iPad shows Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. How can I access Safari?

I cannot acces Safari (for the past three days) A message shows 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. How can I rectify this?

Well, you are accessing Safari. It's just that there's a page it's trying to access on the web, one that you last used, and that website is not available. When looking at the dead page in Safari, tap the lower right icon to shrink down the page and then tap the "x" to get rid of it. You can then try going to another site.

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window:
curl -I http://www.gamefly.com
Press return. You should almost instantly get several lines of output below what you entered, the first of which begins with something like this:
HTTP/1.1
If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. You can then quit Terminal. Post your results.

As with previous posts this is usually a DHCP issue and occurs frequently especially with routers connected to Cable Modems or those Micro-Cell towers.
Unplug all Routers, AirPorts (or other off brand Wi-Fi broadcast units) and any other Wireless broadcast unit that might provide you with a WDS (often other AirPorts feeding off the signal of the AirPort closest to Cable/DSL Modem) and best to totally power down the Unit affected; lastly either hold a reset button on Cable/DSL modem for 30-45 seconds or actually power it down if an option (not suppose to power down Cable Modems that have Telephony for some odd never completely explained to me reason).
Let Cable/DSL Modem re-boot till 'all green lights'. Then power up each device involved in order from closest to farthest waiting each time for completion of initiation. Micro-cell towers can take 10 minutes to completely re-boot and you must wait for across the board green lights in my experience. Even WDS can add a few minutes till all green on mother AirPort unit.
Only NOW may you re-start the offending device and see if it will connect. Works about 99% of the time!

I just purchased the iPad mini 3 and keep getting messege Safari could not open the page because stopped responding.just purchased it today and can't surf web please help.thanks

purchased a ipad mini3 keep getting messege Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.

Is this a wi-fi iPad? Is it connected to wi-fi? It sounds as if you're not connected to the Internet.

When I try to use Safari on my i6 phone to connect to internet, it says "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." However, my wi-fi is connected on the phone and computer. What can I do to correct this?

When trying to connect to internet, my i6 phone says "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." However, our house's wi-fi is on. Any ideas why this is happening?

Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network
