Cannot get Safari to establish a secure connection

I cannot get Safari to open any webpage that has an https: start to their web page. I get the following message:
Safari can’t open the page “https://xxx" because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server
This started just today but I've done a few things that might have caused this. I reset my system user password and then needed keychain to reset it's password to match up with this. I cleared the chach in users and I also upgraded to Safari 1.2.
If I use another browser I do not have this problem. Any thoughts>

I've had the same problem a few times. I found that resetting the airport gets the problem fixed, providing that you grant your airport permission to access your keychain always. It can be a software reset. Connect to your airport (airport utility) and select yours (in case you get signals from other neighbors too). Then, on the toolbar click reset, and you should be on.

I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo. Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit. Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

Hi,
the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
Sorry

Iphoto is stuck on loading print project cannot get it to close or do anything

Can you get it to quit using Force Quit (command - esc)?
What happens if you try opening it in another account?
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

HT201412 how do i sync my i pad to itunes - cannot get safari to work

How do i sync my I pad to itunes and how can i get safari working on ipad?

Perhaps one of these support articles will be of some help for the syncing questions.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
Apple - Support - iPad - Syncing
If Safari will not launch try this -
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart 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.
Or try this.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I cannot get Safari to quit no matter what I do ?

I am trying to load Steam and I need to update Adobe Flash Player. I have quit requested applications but despite repeated, varied tries, Safari will not quit. I am using MAC 10.8.4 Help ?

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
If it won't download directly, right click and "Save as"
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer.

Cannot get "Quit and Close All Windows" to work

Each time I open any application on my Mac, it automatically opens any other windows for that app that I had previously left open and unsaved (including ones I had temporarily opened to view a file, which remain titled "Untitled", etc.)....I've tried UN-checking in the General area of System Preferences "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", but this does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I've ALSO tried holding the Option key down while choosing Quit in a given application such that the "Quit" command changes temporarily to "Quite and Close All Windows", but, again, when I re-open the application, it re-opens all the previously left open windows as well...
I've found this behavior in programs such as Preview, Mail, Safari - the list goes on. What gives :-)? Thanks for any help!
Sincerely.
D.D. J.
Mac Pro (early 2009), 32 gigs RAM running Lion 10.7.4

Thansk for the quit reply! However, I'm afraid there are still problems:
It the Resume feature.
When choosing Restart, Sleep or Shutdown there is a checkbox you can uncheck to prevent the apps from launching.
This is actually the only time my windows DO fully close, when I uncheck the re-open previous apps after doing a cold-restart of my entire Mac (not exactly practical when all I want to do is not have to manually close a zillion windows that have inexplicably re-opened upon re-opening a given application like Mail...
Also in System Preferences > General there is a hard-to-find checkbox under "Number of recent items" you can turn off.
Also, you can hold the shift key to disable resume on a one time basis.
I've tried setting the "no. of recent items" all to 0, and this has no effect. I've also (as I mentioned before) DE-selecting "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", which also has no effect (this is particularly perplexing, since this seems like the most logical way to enable what I'm seeking). I've similarly also tried option-Quitting from within the app to no avail...
Again, you can accomplish this through Finder by going to ~/Library/Saved Application State and deleting the folder.
I thought this would be the ultimate solution - just delete the entire "Saved Application State" folder, as you suggest. However, I tried this (temporarily changing it's name to "Saved Application StateOLD"), but when I closed Mail (with opened windows) and then re-opened it, not only did the windows still re-appear, but a NEW "Saved Application State" folder was created, saving presumably the new Resume data for seemingly this and any other apps that I still had open on my computer.
If you want to turn it off on a per app basis, (TextEdit is by example, replace TextEdit with the name of the app)
Launch Terminal and copy/paste this at the prompt...
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Press return.
To turn off Resume globally...
chflags uchg ~/Library/"Saved Application State"
Press return
If you're CERTAIN the above won't mess up my computer :-) I guess I'll try this next, either App by App, or Globally. However, please confirm that you're saying that to delete Resume globally, I need to enter the chflags info (above), word-for-word, into Terminal?
Thanks again -
DDJ

I Cannot Get Safari To Install

We have a bunch of Macs, and Safari is working on all of them but one, and older iMac, running OSX 10.6.3
I downloaded Safari 5, installed it, and after the install, it is nowhere to be found and the Safari icon in the Dock has a question mark.
What could be causing this?
Thanks
Tom

HI,
See if you can find a link you may have saved. Double click it. Hopefully Safari is still enabled as your default browser in Safari/Preferences. I'm hoping that link may open Safari.
and older iMac,
Which Mac OS X is that iMac running?

Cannot get safari to stay open ON MY IPHONE

WHEN I OPEN SAFARI ON MY IPHONE IT COMES ON FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND, I SEE IT.. AND THEN THE SCREEN RETURNS TO HOME
ANY THOUGHTS FOR WHY AND WHAT I CAN DO?

NO CHANGE
That's surprising. Try the Reset and the clear again. Then, send yourself a webpage link via email and try to open from there.
If still a problem, restore from your backup.

Cannot get safari on ipad

Cannot get sidebar to close and cannot get bookmarks toolbar to display.

I was on a website and clicked on "Create Bookmark" on the page.
Ever since then, I've encountered the problems mentioned in my question. I've re-installed Firefox, restarted, and rebooted... no luck.

I've reached a point where all offered alternatives seem exhausted, and I must now do a complete system rebuild. CleanSweep doesn't even do a thorough job.
I'm on record, from my purchasing history, of being a solid Adobe citizen. However, this circumstance is, quite possibly, one of the most unacceptable that I've ever encountered. For one, no 'app' should ever require a rebuild. For two, no later version of another app should ever disallow reinstalling the earlier app (because I upgrade to PhotoShop CS4 I can't reinstall DreamWeaver CS3?). Also, while this might be a 'known' problem, as a user, I don't see that highlighted in Adobe advertising as it absolutely should be. Maybe there should be a banner on all products that says, "You MUST buy complete Suite upgrades!"
Sorry, but as someone with a fair history in software development and deployment, this is not proper. But then I'm 'past my prime' on such matters perhaps.

HT4972 I cannot get my Ipad 2 to close the keyboard. Any ideas?

My keyboard is open on my Ipad 2. I cannot get it to close. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

If tapping the 'keyboard' button at the bottom right of the keyboard doesn't hide/close it then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
