Safari 5.1.4 cannot open any web pages

When I start Safari in three of four accounts, the home page just blinks trying to open, but it never does. Safari works just fine in only one account.
Safari 5.1.4
iMac Intel
Mac OS X 10.7.3
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Jim ...
When you have problems with Safari (or any app) in more than one user account that's an indication the startup disk needs reparing.
Since you are running Lion you need to use Lion Recovery to do that.

Why Safari 4.0.4 cannot open some web pages?

Safari 4.0.4 cannot open some web pages, while Firefox 3.5.7 works like a charm.
I tried to open http://www.bdnews24.com/bangla/ for which Safari gets stuck (never opens the page, except for the first word of the first line), but Firefox shows the page very well. The same problem happens for some other web sites as well (e.g. http://www.prothom-alo.com/).
(I have Ekushey Bengali AAT fonts, and they are working fine in Firefox and other applications. So this cannot be a font issue.)

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.

Make sure you are running Safari in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
In case it could be a font issue in the future this may help.
Try clearing the font cache. In order to do that you need to boot in Safe Mode.
Shut down your Mac.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator. During startup in Mac OS X v10.4.x or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, even if normally you log in automatically. Boot time is a minute or two longer than a normal boot.
After your Mac boots to the Desktop restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
What this process does... It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/
Restart your Mac and try Safari.

WIFI shows connected but I cannot open any web page

My playbook connects to the wifi no problem, but when i try to use the brower to connect to a web page, it won't connect. It gives me the error message that i should try again.
It is as if it is not connected to the internet.
When i try APP world, it tries to connect but it tell me that I am not connected to the internet.
The internet works on when i try it on my computer and my blackberry bold.
Solved!

Hello,
Please specify the Router type that you are currently using?
(is it Netgear, Cisco, Belkin, Linksys?). I have known many cases with PlayBook not connecting to NETGEAR routers.

Safari 3.0.4 Not opening any web pages after new software update 10.4.11?

I found cooliris previews, piclens as culprit.. I removed them all working ok..!

Hi Jaysen,
What things have you tried so far? Have you tried resetting Safari from the Safari menu option? Have you tried quitting Safari, trashing the prefs file (shown below) and then restarting?
<pre>/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist</pre>
If neither of those help, one quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)

When I upgrade to FF 26 on my PC laptop, I am no longer able to open any web pages on any browser. Help

Whenever I upgrade to FF 26 on my pc laptop I am no longer able to open any web pages on my laptop in any browser. If I reset my system to a previous date I am good to go. Any ideas on what may be going on or how to troubleshoot it? I am not a technical person - btw
My connection to the internet still shows as connected, but I cannot open any web pages.
thanks,
Bill

Is this happening on a computer running Windows (you posted with as Mac)?
If this is an issue on a Windows computer:
It is possible that security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Safari on iPod touch will no longer open any web pages even after reset.

My iPod touch will no longer open any web pages via Safari. I am connected to WiFi and other apps work fine (mail for example). I connected to Itunes and did a reset - still no luck. S/w is up to date for this version of touch - 4.x.
Please help with any ideas?

hello susnyk, please see [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]] &

Can not open any web page in Safari

can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad. All other wireless features work fine.

If this does not work then try a reset ,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.

Safari Wont Open Any Web Page

I just updated my Safari to 3.1.2 and now it wont open any web page. I know my system is fine as I also have Firefox and it works great. I have tried reseting Safari, emptying the cache deleting the plist, but nothing works. I have even tried deleting Safari and downloading the latest version from the apple website and re-installing it. No dice either. Safari seems to be working fine but it wont opent any website. Everything just time's out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.220
208.67.220.222
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have an iPad 2. Safari will not open any web pages.

I have an iPad 2 which I have had for almost a year. I have never had trouble with my WiFi before and now Safari is not working. It will not open any web pages. All of my apps (like Facebook and IMDB) that require an internet connection are working. Safari on my iPhone is working with my WiFi. I have tried resetting my WiFi and my iPad and that has not helped. I took it to an Apple store and they told me nothing was wrong with it because Safari was working in their store. When I brought it home it worked for a day and is now not working again. Any ideas?

From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
Press the red to delete the Safari app from this list.
Press the home twice button when done.
Restart Safari.

Firefox cannot open any web site except facebook

Does Blackberry Link install any add-ons into Firefox? You can check here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Also, does Blackberry Link create any Windows network connections? To make sure Firefox isn't randomly choosing dysfunctional networks, check your proxy setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network > "Settings" button
If you have Auto-detect, try either No Proxy or Use system proxy settings.

Do you get any error message whilst trying to open a particular eBay page or do you get a blank page, a spinning beachball or what? Does this happen with all eBay pages or just one page?
If you'll post the url to a particular page, we can check and see if we have any problems accessing the page.

Can't open any web pages message comes up it times out

we trying to open any web page say it has times out. Tried different users but all say the same

Have you looked at what preferences Safari is using?
Also, did you have an older version?
Still won't work after restart?
There is never a good reason to "drop your guard" and disable or have to configure a normally working firewall.
Chrome - I didn't like where it installed itself in Vista, ~/AppData/Local is NOT a valid location, along with half a dozen other 'features' and behavior. Also, when I uninstalled, why does it need to go to a web page, other than to register my IP address - without asking, and without launching my default (Minefield) and launching IE7.
So I would try uninstalling Chrome just to rule out incompatibility, and to warn you that it does things that may not be what you expect either.
Safari for Windows doesn't seem to respect some things that affect if and when a web page is saved to local cache, and can only see a problem if you had Safari working earlier (a common thread, installing Safari over older version it seems).
