Internet Connects, but Safari won't load

"the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
I get this message for every page except gmail.com there is nothing wrong with my server and all the other computers in my house work fine. Can anyone help?

Try Opendn is a reliable way for Safari to connect.

Help! Airport says I'm connected, but Safari won't load a web page!?

Okay, I'm a newbie, I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what's going on here. I purchased an Airport Express unit, followed the instructions, set up my own network, and on BOTH my G4 Desktop and my G4 17" Powerbook, the "internet connect" recognized the Airport and says that I'm connected to the internet (full strength), but on both computers when I try to open a web page Safari gives me an error code "cannot connect to the internet." What gives? Anybody know? There doesn't seem to be a help topic about this particular problem....

It sounds like it might be a DNS issue.
In a browser try http://17.254.0.91

Connected to wifi but safari won't load anything

I can connect to wifi and it connects successfully but when I start safari it stays at the blank white page and the blue bar stays where it is at. I am running max osx version 10.7.2 and I have a macbook pro I just bought. I am getting very frusterated.

I had the exact same issue - new mbp, safari, wifi connected, but page would not load. Happened at two different hotels, one airplane, and two different airports. Luckily, I had a PC running IE with me and it worked. I called Apple Support twice - no help. I was able to favorably resolve the issue by shutting down the computer and then downloading a different browser (e.g. Firefox). Hope this helps!

No matter what website i go to mozilla goes straight to problem loading page. i clearly have internet connection but it won't go to any websites. what's wrong with it and what should i do?

i had this problem before. i went to the IT department in my school and they fixed but i dont know how. now it's happening again and i don't know what to do. i've been using internet explorer so i do have internet connection, but i mozilla is way faster and more reliable so i really need this problem to get fixed please and thank you.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

My iPhone4 has 3G but Safari won't load any data, why is this?

My iPhone4 works fine in some places, but whenever I'm in the house and have 3G, safari won't load. I just get a message saying 'safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you

I'm getting the "server stopped responding" error on apps that use 3G (Words with Friends, My Xbox Live, etc) as well as in Safari. Anything that uses the 3G network is timing out. Texts work flawlessly, and emails do arrive and send, though it's very slow.
I spoke with a representative at AT&T. She said there were no reports of tower outages or issues in my area (Dallas, Texas). She had me restore the factory defaults on the network settings, remove and reinstall the SIM card, reset my phone, turn 3G off and back on again, empty the cache and data in Safari, and some other things. None of it fixed it.
If I turn off 3G, and only use the Edge network or WiFi, everything works just fine. But 3G is broken, and has been for me since yesterday
Would love to hear if anyone else has any ideas.

Mac shows wireless internet connection, but Safari says "computer isn't connected to the Internet"

Situation:
Computer shows internet connection (full bars), but won't actually connect to the internet and load webpages
Attempted Fixes:
Reset Safari
Quit Safari
Restart the computer
Turn off the computer with router unplugged
Turn off Airport
Swear at the computer
Swear at the internet
Unplug the router and turn the Airport off too
Additional Info:
Second computer (mac) connects to the internet so it's not an internet problem.
Last few days the internet has been slowly dying on the computer (Mac OS X) in question. Meaning that the internet asks me for the router password constantly, which was a new development.
I have seen information about reseting Plists and a few other weird things, but I didn't want to do anything drastic based on someone elses issue. I figured it's best to bring my specific issue to the forum before destroying my Mac by randomly deleting Plists.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Excellent troubleshooting solutions which usually works.
Which os version are you using?
First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).
Delete all extra entries that you find.

Talk Talk wifi connection but safari will not load any web pages?

I have a new Ipad and it is connected to TalkTalk wifi. But the problem is that Safari will not load a single web page?
Are there any known issues with this problem. My PC connects to the same wifi network and is running fine.
The build bar for the web page I try to access turns 3/4 blue but then gives an error message, 'cannot connect to server'
TalkTalk call centre kept saying that they do not support Ipad? But would not elaborate!
Apple call centre updated IOS 6.1.2 and reset network settings but no solution as yet.
Do I need to take this back?
Has anyone had a similar problem?

How old is your MBP?
Do you have APP?
Does this happen all the time? Does it happen on a specific site? What internet connection do you have?

I have an internet connection but pages won't open

For the past 24 hours, I have been unable to open my Web browser (Safari). . . The window stays empty for about 5 minutes and then I get a message that I'm not connected to the internet, even though it is showing a strong wireless signal. When I click on network diagnostics, I am told that I DO have an established internet connection, so I don't understand what the problem is.

Of course when I got home last night, it was working again, but it would still be good to know what the problem might have been, so your suggestions are helpful for the future.
Thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious to me about reception and access being unrelated. The answer to this may be obvious as well, but I'm somehow missing it - if I didn't have access, why did I get the message, "you have an established internet connection," when I ran network diagnostics? If it doesn't mean I have access, what is that referring to?
I haven't had any problems since I set it up almost a year ago, but if it happens in the future I'll try your suggestions and be sure to provide more specifics.
Thanks!

My ipod shows an excellent internet connection, but no pages will load.

My ipod shows that I have an excellent connection to my wi-fi network, but everytime I try to load my email, facebook, or anything that requires an internet connection it will not load.
I have reset my network setting like it told me to under support, but it is still not working.
Thanks in advance,
Nicole

Oh, and the 3g symbol is coming up just fine, and the SIM worked fine in another phone (tested in O2 shop).

MacBook Pro displaying internet address but page won't load.

I restarted the computer and reset safari but it still continues. I also deleted the cache. It works at first when I turn it on for a couple addressed but then will freeze up again. The web address displays but the page is white and won't load. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it? A friend suggested updated to Lion OX.

Which Mac OS X do you have installed and which version Safari ??
Try turning the router off for a few minutes, then turn it back on, restart your Mac, try Safari.
If you have Little Snitch installed, that can prevent pages from loading.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
And turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security
Upgrading to a newer OS does not guarantee that it will provide a fix for browser issues.

HP Pavilion 23 all in one pc: Internet says it's connected, but it won't load any webpages

My desktop isn't in the same room as the modem, but I'll see about moving it to check the cable. Thank you for looking into it.

Opus123 Saw where you posted a reply with no response. Must have missed that but yes it has been a while since we attempted to fix your issue. I can suggest some other methods. The first one would be to reset all your browser settings to see if that helps. If you are receiving emails then we can assume that the connection to the internet is fine. I know Ihave an issue where my phone knocks me off the wireless hub in my house so I need to turn off the WIFI on my phone if I am doing any work. I don't know why this is the case but it seems to be fixed if I do that. Then I reset the router and I am back in business. you could try to go hard wired versus wirelsss if that's an issue. Could be a driver thing. As a last resort you could do a factory reset of your system by reinstalling the OS and basically starting with a clean system. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES BEFORE DOING THIS SO YOU DO NOT LOSE ANY OF YOUR FILES. Try those and get back to me. I'll be wating and watching to see if any of those options work for you. Happy New year

Just been connected but pages won't load.

Hi,
I just had a new phone line installed last week (Friday) and have the BT Unlimited package. At the moment the signal is measuring at about 1.93 download speed. I know I am in the 10 day adjustment period but I can't even load a webpage at the moment, sometimes it is ok (still very slow) for 5-10mins and then becomes completely unworkable.
I contacted BT Technical to see if this was normal at the beginning and after doing various tests of the line, me changing cables and filters around, using different browsers and testing the wall sockets I was told I was in the adjustment period and had to wait ten days to see if it improves as there was nothing wrong with my line. I was also told 2 is acceptable which I disagreed with because I am unable to load even google sometimes. People in the area using BT are on a speed of around 5.
I am unhappy to be paying for a service that at the moment I can't use, this can't be right surely I should be able to use the internet?
Anyone have ideas what I can do, other than ring the Technical department all the time?
Thanks
Becky

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
during the training period of 10 days you should remain connected 24/7 with no manual resets although your router mat reset but this is normal during training time
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Safari won't load after 10.3.9 re-install

Here is my history:
-Tried to update OSX10.3.9 with combo download
-Upon re-start machine gets stuck in start up during boot, stuck on blue screen
-then re-start with software install & restore DVD
-go to disk utility, perform Repair Disk in First Aid
-result:diagnosis 'volume header needs minor repair' then 'volume repaired'
-First Aid done it's job I think, on re-start same problem though, stuck during boot.
-Re-boot again with DVD disk, this time perform re-install 10.3.9 archiving all.
-Great, machine starts but Safari won't load.
- I look for /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Webkit as advised on old post on this forum.
- I can't find it on updated system, however it is in my 'Previous System' Folder, I try to copy it over but won't let me because 'frameworks cannot be modified'
Any advise out there about getting Safari started again, I'm dying here without it, got all my links there. Every other programs works fine. Heard something about 'double boot', should I have changed some settings before re-install? Can some one guide me here. Had this baby 3 years, no system problems ever, should never have tried to update, feels like I'm in PC-land arrrr...
Any help hugely appreciated!!!
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Strange the computer hung during the upgrade. Never a good sign. While the computer was upgrading, were you using it for any other task? Was their a power interruption?
When you ran disk repair from Disk Utility, did you rerun the repair function until it showed no errors. If not, do this step again, then on the restart to your main system, repair permissions using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
If still no cooperation from Safari, have a look here for guidance regarding a Safari reinstall in Panther. Ignore the 10.4.4 update suggestion. In addition to the various suggestions, make sure you remove Safari from your Applications folder, putting it in the trash.
The installer will download an earlier version of Safari. Once installed, you'll need to upgrade to the final version - 1.3.2. To do so, first install Safari 1.3.1. Then, install Safari 1.3.2. Once complete, "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

Airport card connected but safari not connected to internet

Running os 10.4.1 on IMAC g5 with airport card.
i am having some wireless network issues. when i try to connect to the linksys router that my airport card locates it tells me that i am connected to the network; but when i try to load a page in Safari it tells me that i am not connected to the internet. Internet Explorer gives me the same message.
i have been able to test my airport card by logging into another (neighbor's) network (just for testing). it received DHCP from that router and assigned a 198.162.x.x. IP address for my computer. i originally had the same issue as far as being connected but safari wouldnt open web pages. i manually plugged in DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from OPEN DNS.com and Safari instantly loaded web pages.
when i try to do the same on the linksys network my airport card connects but Safari once again will not connect to the internet. I am receiving a DHCP IP address automatically from that router but cannot connect to the internet...
PLEASE HELP ME (it's driving me crazy!)

Oh man... since my last post (all of 15 minutes ago) my iMac now cannot connect to the network at all. The network status menu widget shows it as being connected (sometimes), but it can't actually connect to anything.
Just as an experiment, I turned off MAC address filtering on the base station. Didn't help.

I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
