Safari browser on Mac will not load

MMy Safari will not load telling me to contact Microsoft ?

It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

Safari 7.0.3 will not load

I got the lastest update for safari (7.0.3) and it will not load anypages, and when it does it takes like 3 minutes then when i click on something on that page another 3 minutes or longer. Is there anywhere I can download the previous version of safari? Apple needs to look into this because I have looked it up and it seems other people are having the same problem.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

My Mac will not load up

I'm actually doing this as a favor for somebody.
The problem is they live in Spain and have powercuts very regularly. They went away for a few days and forgot to turn their mac off.
Now it will not load up properly and displays on a black screen something about DARWIN. I've never come across that sort of problem before but it sounds quite bad.
I advised them to try and use the back up disk, at that time the disk draw would not open.
It was managed after a while, with a bit of gentle manipultion on one of the cogs. The disk was inserted and the 'C' button was pressed at the start up. When it came to choosing the hard disk, there wasn't one to choose.
What it sounds like to me is the hard disk has been damaged quite badly or even destroyed somehow in the powercuts.
The computer is an old flat panel. 800mhz, 60GB hard drive,
256 RAM. I suppose it is going to cost a lot of money to fix it, is it worth just giving up on it and replacing the machine with something else.
The machine was only used for a bit of word processing and web browsing.

There is a nother thread called 'crashed mac" here where the guy has the same problem....not sure of the solution. He might need to boot to a Disk warrior CD and see if that helps. Its a problem i have not hear much about, but this is twice in one week....and if you google it, you will find it even more common...but no real solution that I can find yet.

Safari browser keeps freezing and not loading

My Safari will only open some websites and others it will not browse HELP????

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. 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, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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.
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.

Full internet signal however when I open a web browser it sometimes will not load.

About 80% of the time my web browser (Safari or chrome) will not open the internet. I am connected wirelessly and have no other issues with the other mac and PC in the house. This a 15" 2011 Mac book Pro and have already had the Hardrive replaces after having it for 2 weeks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You need to specify a MIME type attribute.<br />
Otherwise Firefox doesn't know which plugin to use.<br />
Using <b>type="application/x-mplayer2"</b> will use the Windows Media player.

Safari 2.0.4 will not load pages after automatic update

I'm running OS 10.4.7 and after the latest auto update that brought me up to OS 10.4.7, updated iTunes to 6.05, and updated Quicktime to 7.1.2, Safari completely stopped working.
The problem is that it no longer loads webpages and simply gives a blank error message saying the server stopped responding.
To solve this problem I searched the forums and tried all the following things that others had suggested:
1. Reset Safari
2. Manually cleared out the cache and history.
3. Cleared out cookies.
4. Turned off form autofilling
5. Disabled Java
6. Deleted the Safari preference file and had a new one automatically built
None of these things have solved the problem. I'm wondering if anyone has had any similar problems and if so, have you been able to resolve them? I'd really like to run Safari again, but it's looking a bit hopeless.

Yeah I tired all that too. I even tired downloading Camino but still same problem. My ISP said to just restat my modem, that didn't seem to help. Is this because of 10.4.7? and is Apple addressing the issue?
I would like to try Firefox, but all the browers ie; IE, Safari and Camino will not let me naviagate to the page let alone download it.

Mac will not load. Shows a screen with a question mark.

My macbook only loads to the screen where a question mark is displayed.
I've tried all the trouble shooting tips such as restarting while holding the command/option keys etc, removing the battery, etc. At the step where I try to do first aid on my hard disk, that will not work. "No valid package" displays as the error. It will not restore or erase either. The installation disk will load but not progress further. The computer can not read the hard drive anymore.
This happened after I left programs running and the computer went to sleep, when I came back it froze and I restarted but to only get this. Help?

I notice the first two replies you've gotten tell you to do things that you say you've already done. There's just no accounting for that kind of behavior -- it's very odd.
To answer your question, if Disk Utility cannot even erase the hard drive, you most likely have a hardware problem. A MacBook hard drive out to be able to report its SMART status, I would think, so try selecting the drive (not the partition, but the drive itself) in Disk Utility. At the bottom of the window there will be some info text -- what does the one labelled "S.M.A.R.T. Status" say? If it says "About to Fail" in red letters, that means you've definitely got hardware issues, and the drive itself needs to be replaced. If this machine is still under warranty, it ought to be fixed by Apple at no cost to you.
If the SMART status says "Verified", that means it's not a hardware issue, in which case it's puzzling why Disk Utility can't even erase it. In that case, I would advise trying a third-party disk utility, like TechTool Pro (http://www.micromat.com/). Perhaps then you could repair it to the point that Disk Utility could erase it. (And, if the damage is this bad, I'd definitely recommend erasing it and reinstalling everything from scratch.)

Mini Mac will not load

recently my mac has been real slow, then a few days ago, it refused to load. I turn the power on, the power light comes on, you can hear the fan, the chimes go, then I get the gray page with the apple log and the circle thing. That is where it ends. I took it to the Genius Bar. He checked the hard drive, and repaired something. Then sent me home, telling me to install the Mac OS X using the Archive and install. I tried this, however I did not have enough space for it. About 8050MB over. I went through and deselected some of the things to try to free up space. I had to deselect everything and was still 726MB off. I quit installer and now when I try to get it to boot from the disc, it wont.
Any suggestions?

With the mini's original install disk in the drive, reboot the system and if holding the C key down doesn't appear to work, retry but this time instead of the C key, hold the OPTION key down (ALt if it's a PC keyboard). This key should put the system into the boot loader, where it should list all available boot sources for the system. Given the internal hard drive is faulty, the only drive it should list is the optical with the install disk inside. You then select that drive so the system will boot to it.
If you don't get the optical drive listed, make sure it is in fact the mini's original install disk that you're using - if it were a disk from another system instead, or a 'rail' copy of MacOS from prior to the date of the release of that model of mini, the install disk won't show because it isn't a valid boot source for that system.

IMac G5 Safari 4.1.3 will not load yahoo, youtube, google, facebook

We have an old iMac G5, running Safari 4.1.3. It did work great, until few days ago when Safari stopped loading sites like yahoo, youtube, facebook. It does load perfect and fast sites like apple.com, amazon, cnn, so it's not an internet connection issue.
We've tried removing cookie.plist, plug-ins, re-booting, but still, it's not working!
Any other suggestions?
Thank you!

Safari is very slow - will not load ESPN!?

Anyone else having a problem with Safari and ESPN.com????

Hello Greg,
Just loaded the site you mentioned with no problems at all. There could be several reasons why you are experiencing problems....
Try some basic maintenance with an Application called Macjanitor
Delete the icons folder from here...
Home folder > Library > Safari > Icons. ( don't have Safari running when you delete this file )

Unable to login to accounts bank of america. Safari works fine Firefox will not load. says site is unavalible try later.

try to login to Bank of America account. I am able to get to the account summery screen but can not go to any account. Message comes up "site is busy or not avalible", this happens every time I try to try . I went to Safari and can login and go to all accounts.

Try clearing all history, cache and browser cookies, and then give the website a go.
If that doesn't work, try opening firefox in safe mode.
I know this issue is happening to quite a few people..

Mac will not load

I recently acquired an old G4 and on booting up, was launched into the Darwin/BSD screen. Since I had no idea what the userid or password was, I followed the advice in this article;
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1553062
Rebooted the machine and it is permanently stuck in some kind of loop on start up. All I see is the black mouse pointer, then the wait icon for a while, then back to the mouse pointer. This goes on indefinitely. I haven't bothered to wait it out, but it's obvious somethings wrong. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Q_Al, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do you have a system install disc or the restore discs that came with the Mac?
Will it boot in Safe Mode? See
What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392
Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
