My ipad safari keeps redirecting to blank pages

Hi
My ipad browser (Safari) has started redirecting to blank pages
It did not do this until recently and now does it from many websites including familiar ones that I use often
I have tried clearing history, cookies etc
Also tried restarting
Also tried a reset
None of these solutions have helped.
I have seen the problem reported by others - but so far, no solution to the problem
This feels like one of those ad-redirect viruses.  Is there a way to get rid of it?

Hello zeldaj,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Safari on your iPad.  If you are experiencing the issue when using Wi-Fi I recommend following the steps in the sections titled "Resolution" and "Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi" in the article below:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If you are not able to access the Internet when connected to a cellular network, I recommend the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

    Ok...  use Open DNS to avoid redirects.
    Use OpenDNS for better speed and more security and it's free.
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    Click +
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.

  • My ipad safari keeps opening unnecessary new pages

    Usually when I click a link, such as Wikipedia, it would open the link on the same page so that I can go back and forth if I want to. Now If I click a link, it opens up on a new Page. This is really annoying when I already have nine pages up and the new page replace one of my old ones. Can somebody tell me how to fix this?

    Hi
    1.  Settings
    2.  Safari
    3.  Dearch engine  (I use Google)
    4.  Open Links - in new page or in background
    Cheers

  • When I open safari, I get a blank page and the beach ball.

    When I open safari, I get a blank page and the beach ball. If I try to go to a website, it will load up to a certain point sometimes—the .com of www.facebook.com for instance—but other times, nothing at all.
    I've fixed this once before by deleting some files in the library folder—extensions & preferences I believe—and choosing not to have plug-ins selected, then restarting the whole computer—rather than just safari. It will work fine for a day, or maybe 3 at the most, before I have to repeat the process all over again. I'm sure it's because I usually put plug-ins back on once I get it to work, because you can't really use the internet without using plug-ins. But I'm using Chrome right now, as I do when I'm too lazy or too in a rush to try the whole process of getting safari to work again, and I don't have a single issue with it.
    My question is really, what plug-in could cause this to happen repeatedly? It's not like I'm going to websites that may have malware on them. I spend most of my day going to some of the most visited websites on the internet. 
    Is there a known bug out there, because Java has been overrunning concurrently with this happening. It's CPU % runs around 100. I quit the process, but it doesn't change anything. So, other than the fan turning on, I have not had any popup telling me that safari has crashed, that I'm not connected to the internet, or that something went horribly, horribly wrong. I'm pretty sure Safari things it's running fine, but it's not.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    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.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Safari back button showing blank page

    Since upgrade to 4.2 I have noticed a problem using google in safari.
    From www.google.com, search for something and following any result link. Hit the Back button to return back to the google result page and it's always a blank page, annoying. Anyone else getting same problem?

    Same thing with my 64GB WIFI/3G iPad after ios 4.2.1 update. However, with me, it is seemingly on a random basis 20-30% of the time.
    Google search---> search results----> view one of the search results----> back button----> EMPTY PAGE.
    However, hitting the reload icon in URL bar on the empty page brings back search results, so livable.

  • I keep getting a blank page when i pull up firefox and it will not go to websites

    whenever i bring up firefox it is a picture of my puppy or a blank page. if i try to visit a website it will not even go to it that page just stays at the picture or the blank page. ive removed firefox and installed it again and it keeps doing the same thing. My internet explorer is working but i dont like it as much as firefox. please help.

    I've been through the exact same thing and cannot seem to get an answer here. When you go to Manage Storage, does it have something at the top like "19.1 GB of 25 GB available"? I only have a Mail account with 5.3 GB in it and a Backups account with 553 MB in it. Obviously, these don't add up to 19.1 GB. There was no change in any of these numbers when I deleted all the same files you mention. With the free Mobile Me storage expiring next month, this is something I'm pretty concerned about.

  • Safari 5.1 displaying blank page

    After installing Lion, when going to most websites, the page apears for a brief moment then it goes away and a blank page is displayed. Does not happen with every website, e.g., apple.com works fine. Microsoft.com works fine also. MBUSA.com goes blank after flashing on screen. skype.com does not work. Is it possible that Safari is not supporting Flash?
    Any help will be appreciated! I though something this fundamental would have been discovered by Apple prior to release! I shouldn't have to do anything to display a web page. This is unlike Apple and more like Microsoft!

    i'm having difficulty, as well with about 95% of my sites. i attempted the url you suggested earlier and it loaded quickly.
    my solution is hitting the 'reload' button and it works 95% of the time.
    however, this is a fine temporary fix, but i have to say that it's quite frustrating. i'm thinking this started happening a couple of weeks ago. couldn't tell you why.

  • Secure acs redirects to blank page after 5-5-0-46-6 patch installed

    I have a cluster of 5 ACS boxes.   One of them fell out of the cluster a few hours after installing 5-5-0-46-6.  
    When I try to login I get a redirect to https://x.x.x.x/acsadmin/j_security_check
    This is a blank page...  I notice this has been an issue with other cisco products in the past.... how do you resolve it?   Removing the patch doesn't seem to help.

    Hi,
    Please open a TAC case to have one of our engineers remove the patch and then install patch 6 again.
