Safari browser not loading web pages

Hi All!
I am currently on a 2 GHz intel core 2 Duo Imac and currently running Safari Version 5.1.1. My issue is that as soon as I open safari and try and load any web page it just stalls after 10% of loading. The same happens with any page I attempt to visit. I know it's not an issue with WiFi due to the fact I am also running Chrome and it booted up just fine. I have also already cleared out all of the Cashe and reset Safari.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Any solutions out there?
Any help would be much appriciated!
Best Regards,
Sivil

First, please update your profile with your current Mac OS version. Then enable guest logins and log in as Guest. Launch Safari and test. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and disable it if you wish.

Why does my browser not load web pages?

I have been having trouble with my browser not loading web pages. After clicking on a link or typing in a web page, the page will usually not load. I have to reload the page a few times, then it will work fine. I have this problem with all web pages. As for pages like youtube, if I can get a video to start playing, it will stop loading at random times. I can back up in the video and start playing again, sometimes this will lead to the video playing further, only to stop loading again. Help please!

Try streching it with the bottom left corner. Also try view zom in. You can also try safari preferences resetsafari.

Safari does not load web pages completely

Since I loaded Leopard, Safari is not loading some of the webpages that I go to regularly. If I move my mouse over the page some of the text starts to show but not the webpage. When i use my scroll wheel on my mouse to look at the lower part of the page then the page is displayed properly. Safari has always worked well with 10.4 and now that I have 10.5 i'm running into some issues. Can someone please advise? Thanks

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.

Safari will not load web page

I run a network of 10 macs, all run OSX 10.4.11 using Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.2) Two of the macs (One: imac 2.4 Ghz intel with 3 gb ram; the second computer MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz, 2 gb ram) Cannot access one website by typing the name (www.visiondc.com) -- I can only access this by entering the IP address. The reset of the network does not have any issues accessing the website. The interesting point I cannot access the site using other web browsers (firefox, opera) unless I use the IP address.
Can anyone help?

I have EXACTLY the same problem...I'm running Safari 3.0.4 Public Beta as well and this is driving me insane. It's completely inconsistent - some web sites are fine, while others are not. I have tested the same site from another PC (running Windows/IE) and it works fine so I know it's not my ISP.
I'm also trying to find out how I can downgrade Safari to the non-beta...please let me know if you know how.
There are also many hits on the web with this problem but no resolution...I'm still looking and will post an update when I find something.
So far the problem seems to be associates with the DNS lookup either timing out/not working etc.

Safari will not load web pages

HI
I have had an IPad for 6 weeks or so and it has been working fine. However starting today when we select the safari icon I get a blank screen and the google box. Tapping on the google box brings up the keypad. After tapping any key the screen reverts to the main screen with all the icons on. Could it be my Wi Fi system or perhaps something to do with the somertime time change.

If the reset doesn't work, try these steps.
Tap Settings, then tap Safari on the left side. Then on the right side - tap clear history, clear cookies, clear cache. Clear all three. Reboot your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button at the top until the red slider appears and slide to power off. Then hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and the iPad will restart. Launch Safari and see if it works now.
If that doesn't help, try Resetting your network settings. Tap Settings, then tap General on the left side, then scroll down on the right side and tap Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings at the top. Reboot your iPad as described above. After restarting, Go to settings, then select WiFi, select your network name, enter your network password, launch Safari and see if this works.

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message says.
Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
Where are you seeing this problem ?.

Safari is not loading any page after update

Please help
I update the Mac software and since then, Safari is not loading any page.
Any help please
I have MacBookPro (Mac os x 10.6.8)
I am new to Mac world
Please help I don't have any browser other than safari

I have exactly the same problem - since the update Safari opens but won't load any sites. The progress bar starts but just hangs.
I've had to start using a different browser. The weird thing is, it works without any problems in my wife's account (we have 2 accounts and mine's the admin).
I tried uninstalling by dragging to the trash before downloading from the Apple site and installing again. But I guess I didn't remove all the files as it had remembered all my favourite sites, etc.
I don't know what you mean by extentions, but other apps that connect to the net that I have running are Mail, Skype, Dropbox and sometimes Vuse and Adium. But since these are also running in my wife's account, I can't see that being the problem.

Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

Safari not loading web pages

My mom's Powerbook is no longer able to load web pages through Safari. Her email works, as does iChat, so it isn't her internet connection. Other users on the same network can load web pages, so it isn't the service provider. I have had her reset safari, as well as remove the preferences file, and the same thing happens (the 'loading' message appears but nothing ever loads).
Any suggestions what to try next?
Thanks!
Brian

HI Brian,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ Move the Cache.db file to the Trash
If that didn't help...
Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins and /Library/Internet Plugins. If there are plugins in either of those folders, move them to a temporary location on the Desktop. With Safari open, from the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences and click the Security tab. Make sure Enable Plugins is selected. See if Safari can load web pages. If not, move those files back to the appropriate folder.
Go to /Library/Input Managers. Move any input managers from that folder to the Desktop and relaunch Safari.
Might be a web clip causing the problem. Open Dashboard and remove any web clips.
If she is running Tiger 10.4.11, open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updat4es and make sure she has the 2009-002 Security update installed. If not, download and install it here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_002__Tiger_PPC
If her PowerBookG4 has the original hard drive, 40 or 60GB?, it might be a lack of free disk space.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.*

Safari will not open web pages anymore on my MacBook.

I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 Lion, Safari 6.0.2. Although I have had occasional problems with slow loading web pages in the past, it wasn't until yesterday that pages stopped loading entirely. I am using my iPad to post this question. The iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's MacBook (running the exact same software) are all working normally. I have re-cycled my modem and AirPort Extreme, but the problem still exists. One strange twist - I use Evernote to keep notes and as a journal. When Evernote was open and I was using Safari unsuccessfully, I noticed that Evernote had opened 2 web pages (Apple Support) in Evernote as notes! While investigating I found that in the Develop menu, the 1st item "Open Page With" shows "Evernote 5.0.4" but not Safari or anything else as an alternative. On the Safari Preferences Menu, General, the Default web browser shows Safari 6.0.2, but on the drop-down menu Evernote 5.0.4 appears as the alternate browser.I have sent a message to Evernote support, which may be answered in a few days if I'm lucky. I have deleted Evernote from the Extensions menu which did nothing - I can still open it as usual. I have also restarted the MacBook several times, tried signing on with a new ID to make sure that there is no problem associated with my account. In this mode, Safari still did the same thing. The problem is somewhat irregular, since the first couple of pages will usually open after I close Safari, clear history and delete caches (I always do this and normally browse in the "private browsing" mode). Next step will be to send the Evernote application to the Trash. (notes are saved on the Evernote website and are also on my iPad). I noticed that some Safari users solved this type of problem by upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion. This would be a last resort, but I wonder if I made some change with my DNS servers it could solve the problem. My IP is Comcast and the DNS servers, they say, are generated automatically. Also, there is no problem with my wife's MacBook/Safari, so I'm not sure this would actually help. Any suggestions will be considered helpful since I have to solve this quickly due to an upcoming travel schedule.

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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. 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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Blue banner bar not loading web pages

I'm having or have had for some time a problem with pages fully loading on Safari 3.2.1. Even now as I write this the blue banner bar only loads to about 75% and stops. Other times is less than 50%.
I have 12.1 GB out of 40.0 GB free on my iBook. I run updates and do disk utility weekly or as needed when things get updated.
Not sure if it's something in the system that gets stuck trying to search and load RSS feeds, but it seems to start there. Especially starts up when I use Gmail. When using Gmail the banner never completes and when I sign off the banner bar just does not ever fully load. I have to close out Safari and start over.
I'm at a lose as to what is going on.
I can understand that when I'm at a hotel using a low speed Wi-Fi that things go slow or don't work the right. But, at home where I have high speed airport it doesn't make sense.
Any thoughts what I can do?

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro and can't get Safari to fully load web pages or pictures on web pages. Any suggestions?

I bought a MacBook Pro in October of 2010 and it's been running greatly up to this month. Now I am experiencing problems with Safari loading web pages. Sometimes it will load web pages just fine and other times it doesn't load web pages at all. This only seems to happen with certain sites. Also, on some web pages Safari won't load pictures (only the blue "?" is visible). I've experienced the same problem when I use the Mac App Store. In addition to these problems, when I visit sites that have problems loading, sometimes I just get a notice saying "Not connected to the internet" or "Safari cannot find the server." I am beginning to wonder if the problem could be some setting with my wireless router. I'm really hoping my MacBook hasn't gotten a virus. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...

Browsers not loading web pages.

Hi there I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
This evening I logged on to my mac to find that none of my browsers (Safari, Chrome and Firefox) could load web pages. My MacBook Pro connects to the Internet via wifi. All other devices (wired and wireless) connected to the router work and even when the mac is hard wired it works. I have a bootcamp install of windows that works fine.
I tried loading all 3 browsers on another users account to no avail as well as attempting it in a guest account. I also attempted to load pages whilst booted in safe mode again to no avail. The strange thing is, when I connect to my universities VPN the browsers all work fine.
I have also noticed that applications installed that show in the menu bar (weather, Dropbox etc) do not work unless the mac is hard wired (or connected to the VPN wirelessly).
Can anyone help with this problem please?

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.
