Safari and Keychain problem

Hi every one,
I killed my safari. I was trying to connect to my university's wireless WPA Enterprise network and my ibook would not recognize the certificate. I tried a lot of different things, and I finally decided to get rid of all of my keychains and start all over again... big mistake! I went to HD/Library/Keychains and erased the two files that were there. Ever since, I get the message: 'safari can't open... because it couldn't establish a secure connection to the server.' My remedy was to get Firefox BUT now I can't export pictures to my .mac webpage or use iSinc. I would really appreciate your help to either 1) fix safari, or 2)find an alternative way to export pictures to the web,
Thanks in advance,
Hector
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"1) how to connect to the Uni. net (probably a different post), and 2) how to fix safari... I just want safari back!! "
Sorry for the delay...sometimes "beach time" is the only time that matters.
Yes, connecting to the Uni.net is a different post in a different forum. Try this one. Like to help but I don't have any experience with that particular area.
Re: Installing Safari:
You can install a new version by extracting it from your Installer DVD. To do this you'll need a copy of Pacifist.
After downloading Pacifist, open the app. Instructions for extracting package contents on the Installer DVD are pretty straight forward. Next load your Installer DVD. When it's open in your Finder, go back to Pacifist and extract the Safari package from the Installer DVD.
Before you install Safari make sure you:
Trash the existing Safari application
Trash the Safari.pkg file found in your /library/receipts folder
Move your existing Safari bookmarks and history files, plus your Icon folder (all found in your Safari folder - ~/library/safari folder) to your desktop.
Install Safari by clicking on the extracted installer. Once installed, go to Software Update and update Safari (I'm assuming the OS will determine whether the new copy of Safari is up to date). If it doesn't, you'll have to reinstall 10.3.9. The reinstall is pretty straight forward.
Restart your system.
Now, move your bookmarks, history and Icon folder from your desktop back into the Safari Folder writing over the new files created by Safari during the installation.
With either the Software Update, or 10.3.9 approach, make sure you repair permissions using Disk Utility (Utility folder) once you are finished and before you start up Safari for the first time.
Please post back with results.

Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
OS:10.7.2
Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

Hate safari and keychain

i hate safari and keychain ,is there any solution ,i try my best ,when ever i will try to open my yahoo mail it will ask about certificate even i clik on the certficate to trust this side .other thing when yahoo will open it will just come like a black page where u can login by user name and password but the grapichs is not coming.that means when i will open yahoomail site it will not come on proper way it will only come by letter graphics will be not there but i can use my yahoo mail,but iwanna solv this problem becuse it look ugly

I was having a similar problem when going to the Apple website. I was being asked about a keychain. Other sites were fine.
For some reason, none of the suggestions from others had worked for me. What did work was this:
1. Open Hard Drive, Applications, Utilities, Keychain Access.
2. From Keychain Access menu, choose Preferences.
3. On the General tab, click the "Reset My Keychain" button.
Problem solved.

Mail and keychain problems when upgrading to SL

I have tried twice to upgrade to SL from 10.4.11.
Initially everything is smooth as glass, fast, no issues at all.
After I open mail everything works fine. After closing mail; the next time I open it and try to get mail the little boxes asking for my password shows up on 3 of the 5 accounts.
I add the password and I can get mail.
However if I check the box to save the PW to the keychain, mail stops working. In the worst case I loose all my mail in the account where I asked for the PW to be saved.
Needless to say I only did that once.
I do NOT get the use mail 1st time message until I loose my mail. Then everything is gone
I have tried to remove and re-add the offending accounts both in mail set-up and in thew keychain.
" " " " " the mail.plist.
" " " " " " " " to the desktop and re-placing it.
I have talked to apple support and nobody has a clue. 1st time was Aug, '10, then again this weekend.
Still the same problem.
On the positive side Safari was working again, and Aperture "flew"
So I really want to upgrade.
The people I have talked to who have upgraded from 10.4.11 to SL do not seem to have had a problem.
Everything works fine with Tiger, except Safari and Aperture is slow. Firefox is also slow, but Safari doesn't work anymore.
Being a former techie (retired now) I have checked, DBL checked and tripple checked. Permissions are fine, althoug after the upgrade there were a couple that I fixed.
I am back on Tiger, Good thing I backup frequently.
Please can anyone assist?????
I am going to try it again, but not until I get some productive feedback
Thanks

Thank you for the total lack of help!!
Next time someone asks::
Go to keychain firstaid ( I am assuming you know how to get there ;-p
and run it, then repair it
Keychain now works

Export all Safari and Keychain login details to print

How can this be done so I have a hard copy of all my login off Safari or Keychain?

If you want a paper copy of your login.keychain (which includes all of your Safari ones), use this simple AppleScript which generates a list containing the name, account username, and password for each key in my login.keychain. I use this list as a backup for all generic and webpage keys. This works without a problem when run in Script Editor (copy and paste the script into Script Editor, but don't include the <begin script> and <end script> items), prompting with a dialog box for approval to open each key, and continuing on to the end, producing the desired, tab-delimited text document named "Passwords", and saving it to the Desktop. Every time the dialog box pops up, click the right-most button that isn't grayed out. Once through, if you run the script again, it'll remember what you entered previously and not ask again. I usually clean it up manually and copy it into Excel where I can sort it.
Ensure that Keychain Scripting.app is in /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ and that the login.keychain is in /Users/username/Library/Keychains/.
<begin script>
set osXKeychainScriptingPath to ¬
(path to scripting additions from system domain as Unicode text) ¬
& "Keychain Scripting.app:" -- one line
set theSecuridPIN to {}
tell application "Keychain Scripting" to launch
tell application "Keychain Access" to launch
using terms from application "Keychain Scripting"
tell application osXKeychainScriptingPath
set KeyList to every Internet key of current keychain
repeat with aKey in KeyList
set theSecuridPIN to theSecuridPIN & ((name of aKey) & tab & ¬
(account of aKey) & tab & (password of aKey) & return) as text
end repeat
end tell
end using terms from
tell application "Keychain Scripting" to quit
tell application "Keychain Access" to quit
tell application "Finder"
open for access file (((path to desktop folder) as text) & "Passwords") with write permission
set theFile to result
write theSecuridPIN to theFile
close access theFile
end tell
<end script>

Safari and flash problem!

ok, i have a website running, it is done in flash
professional 8 and i have flash player 9 installed. It works fine
on internet explorer, loads up and everything runs great.
I then tried it on safari and it loads up straight away
although when i click on the links they dont respond or when they
do they go to somewhere else, like a scene i have not linked it to.
Reason i think it is doing this is because it isnt properly
loaded, it says its loaded and the bar finishes loading but doesnt
work correctly, if it is then left for a little while it works
fine.. so i really don;t know what is going on.
It works fine on an apple mac in preview mode, it is just in
safari that is causing problems, the mac has flash player 9 also so
i don;t know what to do now...
how can i get round this because its been causing problems
for ages now, basically its saying it has loaded and it hasnt
properly, and therefore the links are not functioning correctly...
this is what i think anyway.
any help or ideas?

I found a solution to the issues with the 9r115 release of
Flash player. I got it to install on my G5 iMac (OS X 10.4.11). The
issue is that your regular ID needs to have admin privileges for
Flash to install and run correctly. I have two (2) user IDs on my
machine at home - a regular ID (with no admin privileges) for daily
use and one I use for admin stuff (for doing software updates and
installs). (I think it was recommended to split things up this
way).
I was able to download and install Flash Player 9r115 using
my admin account and Safari (I'm using the latest 3.1) correctly
recognized it was there when I went to places that require Flash
(cnn.com, scifi.com) - but did NOT recognize it when I went to
those same sites under my regular ID.
I also went to Disk Utility and did a Repair Permissions -
the Flash installer apparently mucks around with the permissions,
and repairing them seems to fix things.
Also, I used the Accounts area of System Preferences to turn
on the admin rights under my regular ID (logged out and in) and
then Flash worked correctly with Safari at the web sites that
require it.
So the workaround for 9r115 seems to be:
1) make sure your Mac logon ID has admin rights to the box
(this may not be needed).
2) download and install the Flash player
3) run Disk Utility to repair permissions
4) restart your browser
FYI, this also fixed issues I had with Adobe Acrobat Reader
where I had to logon to my admin ID to do check for and install
updates. Now with machine admin rights on my regular ID, I can
download and install updates (I had 8.1.1, now I have 8.1.2)

Safari and airport problems

Safari started about a month ago getting hung up when loading, ending up with just not loading at all. Then I started getting messages that I was unable to join my network. I can get online at my office wirelessly(different network)but Safari is still very slow. At home, with my linksys router and Time Warner cable modem, I now only occasionally can get online.When I do get online, Ichat crashes continuously. My desktops work, and my husband's wireless radio works, but not my laptop. I have tried resetting router, called cable company and they said modem was fine. I removed plists and favicons, reset Safari, and added Open DNS numbers, which I later removed because it made connecting worse. I have run Disk Utility and repaired preferences. What is left??? I am reluctant to do the reinstall/archive. Pros and cons of this course of action? Sally

I had the Safari problem in terms of it getting hung up while loading web addresses and had to go through diagnostics every time I moved the laptop from office network to home instead of it switching automatically. How do I tell if Little Snitch is still there? I can see it in the download queue, but no where else. Also, even tho I have to switch manually to the office network and Safari is slow, at least I stay online here without Safari stopping or getting error messages, which makes me wonder if my router is messed up and contributing to problems. I have reset and unplugged my home router with no apparent effect. Sally

Intel imac G5, Safari and Godaddy problems

I have an intel imac G5 with OS 10.4.5 with Safari 2.0.3 and can not access my GoDaddy hosted website directly or with forwarding (on or off)...
I can however access the GoDaddy hosted website with my imac G5 (non-intel) with the same version Mac OS and Safari and with a Windows computer.
I can only assume this is a problem with my intel imac?
Another weird problem...my site is still on an SBC webhosting.com hosting server and I can only access the SBC hosted site with Safari not the Godaddy site. SBC has not cancelled the account and has not taken the old site down as of yet.
I have tried clearing the cache, Firefox, and pinging the godaddy site ip address.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

very strange...right after I posted, I received an intel mac security upgrade...installed it and the problem was fixed...wow...
sorry for the post...

Saving Passwords on Safari and Keychain

i never use Keychain and dont want my internet from safari passwords sasved on it.
i have looked at safaro prefs and keychain. i can not see anywhere where i can stop the 2 apps linking on P.Words

Leopard Pagan,
There is a Safari Preference, have you tried...Safari>Preferences>AutoFill Web Forms: (Uncheck All)?
If these selections have been checked, you must click "Edit" in order to remove them from AutoFill.
Keychain has never asked me to retain a Safari password, nor do I find evidence of any password having been recorded in Keychain Access.
;~)

Safari and Network problem

I have an MBP and a iMac 24" both Intel core 2 duo computers connected wirelessly to a BT home hub etc. I also have a MBP 2.16g Intel Duo.
The core 2 duo MBP and Imac both have network and browser issues where the older MBP is ok.
The network drops out and I have to reset them to re connect.
Safari and Firefox wont allow me to login to some web sites with user names and passwords like ebay where as the old MBP will login with no problems
Any ideas, all are up to date and checked for viruses etc

The probable culprits could be:
1. Preference files are damaged
2. Cache file corruption
3. Incompatible Contextual Menu Items
4. Incompatible Input Managers
5. Incompatible Internet Plug-ins
6. Bad Startup Items
7. Incompatible Preference Panes
These for starters. They would be items in the /Home/ or /Home/Library/ folder. I would suggest you start by installing AppleJack - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - then following the instructions to boot into single-user mode and run the AppleJack routines - use the automatic mode.
For Safari I would try clearing its history and other caches.

Safari and youtube problems

Ok...so i've had this problem before and i ended up uninstalling safari which turned out to be a bigger mistake until someone helped me to find the right download to restore it...but anyway since restoring the problem i'm about to describe hadn't come up until the last few days...so i'll describe it again here....
The problem seems to be directly related to youtube...but only with safari, as i've started using firefox (my back up browser) again when the problem comes up and i simply don't have the problem then....only with safari...so hopefully someone can help me troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
The problem starts with a general freezing of safari, but only when i'm watching a youtube video...and directly on youtube....in other words, embeded youtube videos at other sites don't seem to be an issue, but sometimes, not always and not on every video if i pull it up on youtube.com, the video screen remains a stagnant black...not thinking wheel or sound or static or anything, just a dead black window with no volume or any other controls.
So when i go to my subscriptions for excample, there are certain videos that that happens when i go to the vid page....i back out and retry and have tried to reload the page, etc, but to no avail....just a dead black screen. But then i can try the next video and it will work fine.....and the issue seems consistent with the same videos, tho those videos collectively are random...meaning not from the same poster, or not under a certain resolution setting or anything like that...so as an example, if video A and B and C play fine, then i get to video D and it doesn't work.....then A and B and C always work, and D always does not..... that's after shutting down safari and reopening it...after shutting down the computer and restarting it....the issue is persistent on whichever vids had th problem to begin with...so then i thought let's test with another browser and see what happens....it almost seems like those video's flash is not working...but only those specific videos and only on Safari...
So then i pull up firefox and they all play fine, noooo problem...period....no problem on firefox....so i've determined it somethin to do with Safari...but the what and the how to fix are my problem....has anyone else experienced this and maybe know how i can at least find an error log or something that i can post here it will help someone to help me fix it?
running safari 5.1.7 on os 10.6.8
Any help thqt isn't telling me to retry the things i've already tried here is greatly welcome and will get the Helpful button and hopefully teh problem solved button. Thanks!

sorry, did a search and nothting came up for some reason, but as i posted i see posts on the right that sound like my problems so i'm tryin them as i see them and updating my question accordingly.....said to turn off extensions...and that was my first solution the last time this happened, and they have never since been turned on....so they are already off....so that's not helping either...

Safari and Firefox problems: hotmail, facebook ect. don't work

I am having all sorts of problems with Safari and Firefox. I cannot get on hotmail, facebook and many other sites, but I can use google, just half the links won't load. Ran diagnostics, reset safari, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. Have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions??

Erin...
Empty your browser caches more often.
Deleting cookies may help also. Go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
If emptying the cache nor deleting cookies helped, try Safari in another user account.
If you have the same problems there log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Safari and Java Problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the newest updates to Safari. This problem did not occur until late december when I installed several updates via Software Update.
Problem:
I use a photo uploader on a website from my company (unfortunately I can't give out the URL, as it is protected). But it is similar to many other photo uploader sites - load a Java applet, drag images files into a Java window, the files are added to a upload list and then uploaded.
Now, if I drag 10 items into the window, only one or two will be added to the list. If I drag them in one at a time, all the images will be added. Previously it was possible to drag as many as one wanted in.
Now the really irritating part : During the upload, the Java uploader completely hijacks Safari. The window the uploader allways stays active on top. If I open a new tab or window the uploader window will reappear on top and dominate the action. The only way to get anything done while I am uploading photos is to open another browser like Firefox. Safari is completely occupied with the Java program.
Computer: MBP 2.16 GHz, 2GB RAM, OSX 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Java 5.0 (not sure of the revision, but it is the most recent)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had similar Java problems with Safari and Firefox. I downloaded Navigator and now can run any Java app I need. One thing that may or may not have had any impact: when installing Nav, it asked if I wanted to import settings from Safari or Firefox. I chose not to import any settings. Works perfectly.

App Store, Safari, and Netflix Problems, please help

Im showing a strong wifi connection with my ipad 2, but when trying to access itunes or the app store, the pages wont fully load. Some of the thumbnail images will only show ? Marks and sometimes page wont even load at all until i try it again. Same happens in safari and netflix. My iphone 4 is working fine however when just on wifi. Ive tried resetting network, hard resets and a bunch of other tricks, but nothing working. Some apps are working fine, but why would this be happening with itunes, safari, and netflix? Does anyone have a solution?

I see you wrote your question at 1:05 AM. Chances are it didn't get read much as some of us who spend a great deal of time here helping people, just might have been asleep. Sarcasm won't help you much.
Now, have you actually fully closed the apps, then reboot? To fully close the apps, go to your home page, then double tap your home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps). Hold your finger on any of the recently used apps until they all start to jiggle. You'll see a on the top left of each app. Touch the minus on each of the apps you're having trouble with to fully close them. Then touch your home button once more to stop the apps from jiggling and then again, to return to your home page.
Then, do the hard reset (in case you didn't do it properly). Press and hold BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Try the apps after your iPad comes back up and hopefully, they will work correctly.

Safari and Firefox problems with wireless network

I have seen similar questions to mine on the forums recently. Here's my story: I have 5 month old Mac Book with Leopard, no airport extreme, just the inbuilt Airport card. I connec through the internet with Netgear. I have been on to Apple support who went through all the checks, nothing wrong they say, and suggest I contact Netgear. This I did, rebooted router, switched on/off, updated firmware. And still the same problems - pages ultra slow to load, messages saying I am not connected to the internet but running network diagnostics informs me I am. I have to resend pages three times to get them to load. It's driving me nuts. A couple of things then: should I check the box for 'remember password in keychain' when I'm loggin on to my own secure network? Maybe the keychain not remembering is slowing it down. I also read that with one of the key chain updates (I update automatically so I presume I did this some time back) the airport card might not work, and safe restart is required. Do I need to do this?
I know Apple don't take responsibility for third party equipment, like the Netgear router, but my mac worked amazingly with the internet until about 2 weeks ago, and I have updated everything with Netgear. Any ideas?

I believe the WebKitPlugInHost needs to be updated for Safari as It crashes whenever I am playing FarmVille on FaceBook.
