My ipod safari can't open links or press buttons.

Like for instance,I tried to press one of the episodes from http://www.justanimedubbed.tv/watch/adventure-time/ and it won't let me.When I press it,it doesn't do anything...And even if I type the specific URL for the episode,it won't let me watch the video because I press "Skip Ad" and it doesn't do anything..There were no problems before,it just suddenly happened...

I went to the site on my iPhone and had same problem as you. Then I went to the site on my computer and that indicated that it was Fash since I block Fash and have to click on the Flash boxes to play them.

Safari 5.1.3 can't open link pages

When I'm on Facebook or any other site that people post links: I click on the link, a new Safari window opens, and after 15-20 seconds I get a "failed to open page" prompt that states:
"Safari can't open the page (link) because the server where this page is located isn't responding".
And yet, if I copy and paste the link to a new window it opens just fine.
Why?
Why can't a link within another site open?
Safari 5.1.3

Wow. Ok, I'll let the programmers fix the bug before I try any of those steps. That's too much for me to handle, which is why I entrust new technology to the experts. Though it seems in this case they have failed.
thanks for the link

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Safari Can't Open Webpage

I am using Safari at my home comuputer (Dell, Windows XP). I recently installed it within the past two weeks. Just this Sunday, I noticed that there are several pages that I haven't been able to view and the same message "Safari can’t open the page “https://cavs.bpcc.edu/” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “cavs.bpcc.edu”" pops up, except it uses the current URL.
What is wrong? Anyone have any suggestions because I prefer Safari to IE7.
Thanks

According to the URL you posted, there's a link on that page for "Browser Requirements", though it looks as though it hasn't been updated in quite some time. Here what it says they support:
To access Student Self-Service, your computer must be equipped with a browser capable of rendering HTML 4.01 and running JavaScript. The following browsers are known to be compatible:
Windows browsers:
Firefox 1.5.0.1 and 2.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
Mozilla 1.7.12
Netscape 7.2 and 8.1
MAC OS 10.4 browsers:
Firefox 1.5.0.1 and 2.0
Netscape 7.2
MAC OS 10.3 browsers:
Firefox 1.5.0.1
Mozilla 1.7.12
Netscape 7.2
Assistive Technology:
IBM Home Page Reader 3.02
JAWS 5.0
In your browser, you must enable:
JavaScript (required for drop down menus)
SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
So if they don't support Safari, try downloading Firefox instead, and send them some email about their need to support Safari 3.x (a fully standards-compliant browser) for you and all other users immediately.

Safari can't open the specified address for my last.fm playlist

Recently my favorite radio app - last.fm - has been unable to open in Safari. The error is: Safari can’t open lastfm//user/~ because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “lastfm:”. Though the home page is http://www.last.fm/home, the link to personal playlist does not contain http://lastfm/user/ ~ . I suppose this is a lastfm technical issue, so my post could be just an fyi. Right?

Works fine for me when I go to http://www.last.fm/
You haven't bothered showing what operating system you are running, or on what, or what version of Safari you are using, so I am working in the dark.

Can't open links/hyperlinks in my mails....

Maybe its not the right forum, but I havn't been able to find help elsewhere. I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011 but can't open links/hyperlinks in my mails. The cursor turns into a hand as expected, but nothing happens when I try to activate the link. My default browser is Safari. Please help if anyone can..

Hi janjkp,
I don't use Outlook so I cannot test anything here.
Is Outlook the only application that this occurs?
If it is only Outlook, I would suggest that its a setting or bug in Outlook causing the issue.
Instead of just clicking on the link, try Command (or right) Click and see if there is an 'Open Link' or 'Open URL' selection in the contextual menu.
If you can open the link that way, see if there is a setting in the preferences in Outlook that stops links being opened.
Hope this helps

Lion Safari: Are you getting grey "Safari can't open the page."?

Hello all,
Ever since upgrading to Lion, I notice sometimes when I click a link to go to another website from the original article/URL, I may get a grey page, nothing loads but with a grey large Safari logo with the mesage: Safari can't open the page. (smaller text) Safari can't open the page "http://www......" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
I never have this encounter in Snow Leopard's Safari, or maybe then the page just keep and try and keep loading, while in Lion I straight away get this "in my face".
Is anyone else getting this too?
Thanks.

HowWow,
Yup, I'm getting it too. I just posted a thread on the same topic: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16077250
Hopefully this will get resolved soon.
I wish the error logs were useful, but for me ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter contains nothing for Safari!
If you get any answer, I'd appreciate if you update my thread.
Thanks

Safari can't open a site-connection to server error-help,

Hi, having problems opening one page. "Read", one page only. All other sites open fine. When I try to connect to this site I get the error:
Safari can’t open the page “http://offres.neuf.fr/offres/internet/Nos-offres-ADSL.html?cmp=OF100” because it could not connect to the server “offres.neuf.fr”.
I used to be able to open this page fine. I tried it on another computer, no problem, and a response in another very long link indicated "he" could open it fine. Anybody have an idea why this page is being so stubborn and giving me this error? Thanks. Hope to hear a fix.

What will happen if I empty the cache and clear the history in Safari?
Will I lose all the info stored when I visit sites, and have to retype?
NO, You will not lose your Autofill preferences ( found in Safari's Preferences/Auto fill tab ) they are not affected if you empty cache and clear history.
"Reset Safari" would affect the user name & passwords stored in Autofill.
~•~
Matthew, your welcome; ), is this the only site you can not access?
Please try the site In another account. If you do not have another account please create a test account:
Go to System Preferences/ Accounts/Login Options use the [+] to make one. you can later remove it with the [-] if you choose to.
Login into that account can you access the site there?
This helps to narrow down the problem, by showing us if it is a system wide issue or user name specific.

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Periodically "safari can't open the page" - not a ISP issue

Periodically I will have an issue where I click on a link and anything from the website cannot be opened for about 2 minutes. I get the following message "Safari can’t open the page “https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/” because Safari can’t find the server “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”."
Here are some important notes:
I can access the website on my phone while the issue is occurring on my macbook pro
I can access all other websites
The issue lasts for about 2-3 minutes and all webpages with that address will not work
Any thoughts how to resolve the issue?

(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file: Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db and also clear your History)
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page. Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 and later appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML in January 2011: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/26/apple_revamps_its_public_website_u sing_html5.html
The main reason I mentioned your ISP is that their servers may be too busy, which is why I suggested Open DNS.

Can't fix this - Safari can't open the page

i am connected to the Internet and some website will open others won't, it depends. I keep getting the message Safari can't open the page. It is specifically with the links, I have tested this on my other computer and I can get on the website fine. I have been looking on forums but have not found anything that works? Any ideas

Go step by step by step and test.
1. Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204
2. Delete Caches.db
    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown.
    Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
    Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
    Close windows and relaunch Safari.
3. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
4. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click the “Details” button.
    Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
5. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.

All of sudden Safari can't open servers.

Safari which has so far worked well, now can't open links, I keep getting "Safari can't open server" messages.
I haven't downloaded any Flash upgrades, the only upgrade I downloaded was the latest itunes.

Reboot the computer. If you have already rebooted the computer, use the network setup assistant to diagnose your network problems.

Safari can't open pages that Firefox can

If there is a break in connectivity when Safari is loading a page, it says it can't load the page. When connectivity is back on, Safari still can't load the page. Firefox can. I empty the cache and reset the cache, as well as shutting Safari down and restarting it, but none of that seems to work and the crap program still can't load the page.
Any clues as to how to get Safari to do what it is supposed to do?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

I've had this issue ever since owning my macbook with leopard (nov 2007) Safari will display:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://whatever page you wanted” because it can’t find the server “watever website”.
This error is completely random and doesnt always effect the same site. I could be on paypal looking at my account then the next moment trying to click a link in paypal I get the cant find sever page. Now the entire paypal site will no longer pull up. I can still surf other pages just nothing that revolves around paypal.
And again its not paypal only. Just about any sites. There is no set number of sites that pulls this up. However, I can use Camino on the same site on the same computer and while Safari pulls up a can not find Camino pulls it up just fine.
Something is wrong with how Safari handles/translates websites. I have tried disabling IPv6 but it doesn nothing to it. Since I have had this error for a few months I have concluded it is an error with Safari as another browser on the same computer and network settings work just fine.
The only way to get the site to pull back up is to reboot the computer (Clearing cache or resetting safari does nothing to help)

I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Try to open a new window and see if that window works.
You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
