May Safari won´t open some pages

I´m on the edge to become a Mac-fan after being a long time PC (windows) user. Mac is supereasy to use. There are only some irritating details concerning my Safari. Some web-pages won´t open. Not only don´t the page open, but the page reminding me of the obvious (the page won´t open) opens slowly.
When this happens, I´m forced to use my laptop PC - NO PROBLEMS OPENING ANYTHING ON THE NET.

"Spank me" no thankyou. ;~) "S" is pretty far from "T" but I will assume that's a typo.
ISP 4.2.2.1 leads us further afield. Hmmmnnnn.
I have 4.2.2.2 added also. I had no idea from the above that we might be dealing w an ISP issue.
I would contact your internet provider, mine in Earthlink, and see if you can get their server URLs. Or:
At Network Preferences, how many locations do you have? I have 4 of which I regularly use 2. Their servers seem to overload at pretty much random times.
Do an automatic set up, or retry some of the prior arrangements. Adding 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 will do no harm.
If this is where the real prob is, give yourself a virtual Green Star for really good research. At least 3 "attaboys."
If you would come back and sprinkle some Helpful Gold (2) @ 5 pts or Green (1) at 10 pts Stars, that would be nice. (See the bottom of Apple's emails re new posts to thread.)

  • Safari won't open some pages after changing internet provider

    Since I changed my internet provider Safari decided not to work. Not sure if it is just a coincidence or not. I have been looking for solutions on the forum and test some suggestions but I getting nowhere.
    I have reset Safari several times, empty cache, clear history and I still can not open Google, Gmail, Facebook, Youtube as the main ones but it opens Twitter. I get no error messsage or anything, it just hangs and sometimes I go to make a cup of tea and when I get back google.ie is open.
    Another thing that I notice is that I have a message saying "The google safe browsing Service is unavailable. No updates 110 days" I tried to untick and re-start Safari but I still ahve the same problem. I'm not sure if it has anything to do or not.
    The strange thing is that I have another imac and macbook but the problem is only on this one. Chrome just crashes a lot so if I could get my Safari back would be great. If anybody has a suggestion I would really appreciate because I spent hours and I'm getting no results at all.
    Thank you in advance

  • Safari won't open some pages

    I manage a small network of Macs in my otherwise PC company. We operate behind a firewall. Recently, I've noticed a strange thing where Safari will suddenly not load a page, well within a site. The status bar will show "contacting server", then "1 byte loaded". At this point, the progress bar within the address bar will slide over to the right & disappear, as if the page loaded, but the page is blank. Occasionally, reloading a few times will work. Sometimes copying the address into a new window will work. More often, you need to copy the address, quit & restart Safari & paste the address in to load the page. This happens will about any site, including Apple's. I've tried resetting Safari, clearing cashes & cookies, etc.. I've tried Cocktail & Onyx as well. I notice this more on my eMac running 10.4.8, and have seen it on other Macs that I manage.

    I have corrected the problem, sort of. I was using Netbarrier, and have completely disabled it. I'm still using the built in firewall of OS-X, plus "little snitch." This was after I had deleted every imaginable preference file, cache, etc etc- the problem was most likely something with Netbarrier. I hope to one day be able to use NetBarrier again without this problem (affecting only a small fraction of web pages, including Google Mail, and many others that require one to sign in). Till then, I'm just happy I can use those sites again!

  • Safari won't open any page

    I'm using 7.0.5 Safari on Maveriks
    Safari won't open any page, unlimit loading... ... ...
    Chrome and other browsers - working good, no errors.
    App Store and Updates - work well
    No network issues.
    Safari - clear cache and reset safari - didn't work.
    hosts file is ok
    no extensions
    delete all plug-ins except default ones.
    hm.. what else...
    apple extreme wifi router - work's well.
    Other devices at home has internet on it, other macbook pro doesn't have a problem with safari.
    in console - no errors
    any page won't load in safari, just a white screen and loading progress..
    What should I do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari won't open a page

    Hey!
    I've got a big problem: My Safari wasn't able to open a page. So I decided to uninstall it. When I installed it again I still had the same problem as before:
    Safari won't open a page. Even not google.de or google.com
    Firefox works perfect, it's only Safari...
    Is there anything wrong with the Internetoptions? I'm connected wireless with an airportExtreme since two weeks. I don't now if it was working before...
    Anyone knows a solution? : )
    Thank you...
    Björn

    ok, i've found the problem myself... The app piclens made the problem... now it's working fine : )

  • Safari won't open any pages since I downloaded McScan Beta V

    I downloaded McScan's Beta version the other day from securemac. Since then, Safari won't open ANY pages at all, giving me the message, "Safari can't connect to server"
    "Safari can’t open the page “http://aol.com/” because it could not connect to the server “aol.com”.
    I dragged McScan to the trash, and still won't work. I also ran through the Safari Preferences, and made sure I had followed their suggestions, "”.Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Make sure that the checkboxes to use plug-ins, Java, and JavaScript are selected and that the "Block pop-up windows" checkbox is not selected." Still no luck.
    Any idea how I can get Safari to work again?
    Thanks,

  • Safari won`t open private pages made in iweb

    Safari won`t open private pages made in iweb, but it works in Firefox! Why is this happening! It even works in internet explorer! But in Safari it doesn`t, it just can`t load the page, the login dialog doesn`t show up, it just stand there trying to load the page! Please help?

    Here is what finally worked for me based on a post I saw on another thread. Apparently the login.keychain file for the use is corrupted.
    Trash the "login.keychain" file located in the Keychains in the users Home folder.
    (Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/
    Then access the site once more. It now works as expected. You will need to authenticate the new keychain file and grant access when needed for the website to use your login keychain.

  • Safari doesn't open some pages

    Hi! I've noticed recently that Safari won't open webs like instagram..when I try to log in it lets me write my username and password but when it's going to load the content of the page it remains white.
    And I've also noticed that it doesn't open videos on twitter for example, like vines or youtube videos that should be seen directly from the twitter page...What is the matter?
    I've tried to restore Safari and make sure there were no updates needed but it has not solved the problem (and I have the latest Safari update)
    I would aprecciate the help. Thank you!

  • Safari Won't Open Certain Pages

    There are some pages that Safari won't open... just hangs. Here are the details:
    1. 2 sites affected - https://www.airbnb.ca/  -  https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action
    2. Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated
    3. Opens fine with Chrome
    4. Reset the browser settings and no extensions in use other than 1 password
    5. They open fine in iPad Safari
    6. Reset pram
    Appears to be a Safari issue obviously.

    Bee: Sorry for that. I'm obviously not talking about you at all. I'm a person who always tries to be very helpful. If I clicked in a thread and the guy posted a couple links saying that they wouldn't work it wouldn't even dawn on me to not click the link and tell the guy if they worked for me or not. Ultimately, a whack of people read the thread and couldn't be bothered to click and report--yet those people I'm sure will be the first to take the help. I'm not impatient about my issue here... honestly. Sorry if I came off unnapreciative in advance and was owly. If there's anything that I can ever do to help you I will anytime.
    Klaus: Effects both 2012 MacBook Pro Retina and 2009 Mac Pro both completely updated ... what else were you looking for?
    (for product specifics, I updated them after the post and could be the reason why they're not showing up. I listed them in the thread anyway. Maybe 2 times a charm??)

  • Safari won't open most pages

    Safari Mavericks suddenly won't open many pages, including Apple's! Many posts on this, it's not just mine. Modem is working fine.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

  • Safari won't open some secure pages

    It's not just Safari, though - Firefox, Chrome, Opera.
    It's not just my iMac either - MacBook Pro *AND* iPad.
    Some secure sites simply won't open.  It looks like they load (the timer thing goes through the URL) but blink - no page. Just a blank browser window.
    Any clues??
    I've tried reinstalling browsers, trashing preferences, turning off all security measures - pretty much anything you can think of.  OS is 10.8.3, browsers are all updated to most recent versions.
    I'm stumped.  It wouldn't be a big deal except for one page that I NEED to get to for my job. I can't keep running over to my neighbor's house and using IE on his Windows 7 PC - not only is it irritating him, but it's making me crazy that something that works so effortlessly on his crappy PC won't work AT ALL on my Macs!
    HELP!

    3 devices - they all connect using the same router/modem ?
    can you connect at neighbouring house using ipad or macbook pro ? - that would maybe confirm the issue being with your connection.

  • Safari don't open some pages...

    Hi,

  • Safari won't open web page that Firefox will open

    Hello,
    I have a specific page on my website that Safari will not display but Firefox will. I have cleared the cache, cookies. Shut down everything, started up...no help.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
    G5 iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Eve
    Web design & programming are done by humans and nothing is perfect. BUT the site compatibility issues may force me, albeit reluctantly, to switch browsers. I hope Apple, will please, please make Safari more compatible. Form is secondary to function.
    On the Mac platform, multiple browsers is the way to go if you want to cover all bases. Here's a list of available browsers:
    Firefox 2.0.0.5
    Camino,
    Mozilla,
    Opera,
    Shiira,
    OmniWeb (shareware).
    The Internet has evolved into quite a mess when it comes to site coding practices. For example, there are some sites, using antiquated, proprietary Microsoft software (such as ActiveX) that simply will not play on the Mac platform, Further complicating this situation, some site developers have a tendency to create sites coded specifically for Internet Explorer for Windows, and/or use sloppy coding, which invites other problems into the web experience. By contrast, Safari conforms strictly to web standards promulgated by the Web Standards Project, which may trigger rendering problems when it comes to these sites. In this instance, it's helpful to contact the site developer about your awkward browsing experience.
    So there's quite a mix-bag on the web. Personally, I prefer using a browser adhering to coding standards designed to promote conformity, security and safe browsing, rather than the alternative of "form over function". For that reason, Safari is definitely my browser of choice.
    For video content, such as Yahoo, CNN etc., which does not play as well on Safari (because of how the developers code these sites), I use Firefox. Others here report Camino or Shiira being good alternatives.
    On OS X it's quite easy to have multiple apps open at the same time, so going back and forth between browsers is not a problem. Also, you can export your existing Safari bookmarks to another browser, which maintains some degree of uniformity.

  • Safari won't open new pages from Google links

    I'm a bit confused - I'm using Safari on my iMac and MacBook, both with OS 10.4.10, and want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
    Do you think I need to reset Safari in some way?
    Many thanks
    Chris

    ...want to open google links in new pages. This works fine on the MacBook, but not the iMac, even though I've checked the box "Open links from applications in a new window".
    That preference setting refers to opening links from other applications in a new window. For example, if you click on a link in a Word file displayed by Microsoft Word, or in an email displayed in the program Mail, the link will open in a new window in Safari.
    To see the shortcuts for opening a link from a web page (e.g. Google) in a new window, go to Safari > Preferences, click on the Tabs section, and read the Command-key shortcuts listed at the bottom of the window. Exactly what those shortcuts are depends on your settings in the checkboxes above. (To see the difference, change some of the settings in the checkboxes and watch the shortcuts below change.)
    I'm not sure what the difference is between the settings on your two Macs. I'd go over the preference settings to get an idea of why they're behaving differently.
