Safari can't connect Youtube account

I did Mac software update To Safari 5.1 August 30, 2011 and started get tons of WebProcess pop ups and NOW Safari can't connect to my youtube account. Does anyone have the same problem and/or does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

I've been battling this for weeks, and just solved my issue about 5 minutes ago.
In my case, it was simply due to blocking Google-Analytics with Little Snitch. As soon as I unchecked the box, YouTube (and other affected sites) loaded fine again.

  • Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

    I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

    Hi and welcome....
    Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
    See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
    That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
    If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
    See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

  • Safari can't connect to server

    Hi, I'm encountering an error when I try to access specific sites. Safari tells me "Safari can't connect to server". Some sites work fine and for others (that I was previously able to visit) it tells me Safari can't connect to the server. These same websites I'm also not able to open with FireFox (so I don't think it's Safari related). A previous post suggested checking if i had any proxies selected, which I don't. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hi again Vera
    I also created another account on this machine and the same page were also not able to load there.
    Thanks for trying, the other account as I recommended.
    Same results indicates a system wide issue. Check your router, with the update of the os 10.4.8, the firmware updates for said items are lagging behind.
    It would work on your other machine because it does not run the same os.
    Please note that this is for a firmware updates for routers
    not your Mac, as otherwise suggested by Hope.
    Here are three popular routers,
    Airport Firmware updates
    Linksys FirmWare
    Netgear
    Your feedback would be appreciated.Thanx

  • Software Update can't download; Safari can't connect to apple (tough!)

    hello -
    I posted this topic in Safari but it may really be more of a networking question. I have two problems which are specific to one user account on my Tiger machine.
    1) Safari can't connect to anything from Apple.com
    2) Software Update can download lists of updates, but the downloads of the updates themselves never begin (hangs at 0 B of 31 MB, etc.)
    Firefox is fine on apple sites from this account, and neither problem is present when I login to a different account.
    Here are some things I've tried with no luck:
    -trash com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
    -move all plists out of Preferences and restart Safari
    -move Safari folder out of ~/Library and restart Safari
    -move everything out of ~/Library which is not present in
    the working user account and restart Safari
    -reinstall Safari from Tiger disc using Pacifist
    I ran a port scan in Network Utility and this is what I get:
    Port Scan has started ...
    Port Scanning host: 192.168.100.54
    Open TCP Port: 21 ftp
    Open TCP Port: 22 ssh
    Open TCP Port: 139 netbios-ssn
    Open TCP Port: 427 svrloc
    Open TCP Port: 445 microsoft-ds
    Open TCP Port: 548 afpovertcp
    Open TCP Port: 5900
    Port Scan has completed ...
    Is it weird that port 80 does not appear? Still, I get the same result from the working user's account so it's hard to imagine this is the case. I don't have the OS X firewall on.
    I am really stumped by this problem and would love some help!
    thanks,
    Gene

    curious and curiouser! Your suggestion to Reset Safari was a great one - thanks! Resetting Safari allows access to the apple websites again. There's no new software to download from SWUpdate right now, so I can't test that, but I will test as soon as I can.
    here's the weird thing though. Attempting to login to these discussion forums using Safari brings the problem back again! I type in my login info and it hangs forever while trying to load discussions.apple.com/login.jspa. Once this has happened, then I'm once again unable to load anything under apple.com in Safari, until I Reset. I thought maybe this was a Java problem so I reinstalled the latest Java, but this doesn't help. Still no problem here in Firefox.
    any thoughts!

  • Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

    Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
    Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
    Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

    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 a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    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(s)?
    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 in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. 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:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down. 
    Press the power button. 
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone. 
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    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 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(s)?
    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.
    Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

  • Safari Not Loading Web Pages (Safari can't connect to the server)

    I'm seeing increasing problems with Safari being unable to connect to websites. When the problem starts to manifest itself you see the error:
    Safari can't connect to the server.
    Safari can't open the page.
    Then you see the URL information. It is always seems to be sites that are trying to load HTTPS pages.
    Clearing the cache and resetting Safari will make it go away temporarily, but it always comes back.
    Note that when this happens you might happen to see something like this in the address bar:
    file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/

    I'm having the same problem, I can open safari but when I try to go to a website it just says "server stopped responding." I just updated to the new version and that's when it started happening, it was working find before the update. Any suggestions???

  • Internet connected according to Network Diagnostic but Safari can't connect

    I just bought a new iMac in Australia yesterday; when I brought it back home and connected the ethernet cable to it I thought it would automatically connect to the internet as my other family members' Macs have in their homes, and as my old PC did.
    Unfortunately it did not, so I bumbled through Network Setup in System Preferences with little idea of what I was doing and essentially hoped for a miracle. I copied the 'IP address', 'Router' address and 'Subnet mask' numbers over manually from my PC but that didn't work. I then selected 'Using DHCP' and it gave me a seemingly normal IP starting with 192.xxx.xxx.xxx and the same subnet mask. When I run 'Network Diagnostics' it says my internet connection appears to be working correctly, and there's green lights next to everything. But when I go to Safari and type in www.google.com it takes forever before finally telling me that "Safari can't connect as the server is not responding'.
    I have scrolled through pages of this forum trying to find answers but I haven't yet. I tried changing the DNS addresses to the ones from OpenDNS but that didn't seem to work.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    What kind of connection do you have?
    -DHCP, this assigns the IP automaticly
    -PPPoE, you will have to enter the information from your ISP manually in rder to connect
    If you copy the IP from another machine it will create an issue since IP´s are unique to for machine.
    Can you verify you internet connection, just to make sure it actually works?
    +you can connect with other machines?
    - you have to look at the settings on you machine
    +you can ping www.google.com from Network utility
    - if you can you have a connection to the internet, there might be a problem with your DNS server
    +you can connect with IP addresses but not the HTTP
    - copy and paste googles IP into your web browser, if it connects you should contact you ISP or look for DNS trojans in your system
    +what does network utility show of send errors and link speed.

  • Problem with Safari **Safari can't connect to the server**

    My internet is working fine, but I keep having to refresh the page because I'm always getting "safari can't connect to the server".  Same thing happens with different browsers.  I've read a couple things online and unistalled everything that I think is causing the problem but it's still happening frequently.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Most school networks are closed networks. You can access their Intranet, with all the files and peripherals and everything, but you need to have a specific password or IP address to access any outside connection. I have an ibook G4 that's 3 years old. I used it in high-school to access AOL wirelessly. That was before closed and protected networks were prefered. It shouldn't matter if the school intranet is widows based or not. You need to access your own internet service sometimes in order to get any reaction. If you simply use safari, you might only be connecting to the schools intranet, which only links together the schools computers and keeps the system isolated. Also, you need to check your firewall settings, in fact, just turn off the firewall. The schools sytem is firewalled up the bum and you shouldn't get attacks anyway because you're running the mac os.
    You might also try an alternative approach. Go into a computer lab, access one of the systems, then go to control panels and look up every connection you can find. Take down all of the info and then see which matches up with similar info on your mac. Then go to another pc and look up the same info again. Is it different? How? Then take that listing to the system administrator and show them. They may not know that a mac has a simpler interface than the pc, so you may have to do some prodding to get them to take a look. If they still tell you it wont work, you could try boot-camp or a virtualizer (to let you run windows alongside the mac os). If you use a virtualizer, you can get your own copy of windows and then share it's connection to the main system to the mac.

  • Mountain Lion can't connect to account POP

    Hi--I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on iMac (version mid-2011) and get the error message Mountain Lion can't connect to account POP. I've incoming/outgoing servers, ports, authentication, etc., and still receive this error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    works just fine for me using hotmail over pop
    so maybe your pop3 provider changed their settings or your firewall is blocking the ones they use

  • Almost constant "Safari can't connect to server"

    Starting a few weeks ago, I have started getting regular error messages that "safari can't connect to server". It is getting really annoying! It also affects Firefox. I have made every change I know to with internet settings (Open DNS settings, etc..), but nothing works. I have contacted my DSL ISP and they cannot find any problems with my service, which makes sense as I have had the service for nearly 2 years and this problem has just started recently. Oh yeah...I upgraded to 10.4.8 about the same time this started. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
    Thanks in advance!

    Update....after installing "Cocktail" system utility software and running all the systems, guess what??????
    No more issues! I'm not sure if it was the combination of the re-install and then the system utilities run....but I am back to surfing the web with ease!
    Thanks a million for your help!

  • Safari can't run youtube or open jpeg attachments

    The latest safari can't run youtube. Just get black box. Also websites with jpeg attachments don't open. Just blank page. Turned extensions off. Reinstalled flash. Ran permissions repair. Could this be something with java? Use to work.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    2DivX?
    Try installing Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Lala download
    What is that?

  • "Safari can't connect to the proxy server"

    Hello again...
    My 10.6 Server is up and running! thanks for all the help...however...
    When I try to access the internet via Safari from the actual server, I get the "Safari can't connect to the proxy server" message" but all the client machines can successfully access the internet....
    I'll start to read up on proxies but if someone can offer a suggestion in the meantime, that would be terrific. I know it's something simple I am missing...
    thanks!

    No snarkiness taken Mr. Hoffman...As a full-time high school teacher, I've been setting up our small school server on my own time for the past three months...with the help of the server docs, manuals, and the great help found within this forum, we are finally to a point where we can begin using the server.
    What I'm just not understanding is WHAT proxy do I use? I see all kinds of proxy servers out there but is there a specific one I should be using?
    Again, forgive me for my ignorance on this matter...I just don't understand why after a year of not using a proxy server, all of a sudden we need to have one? And this issue came about when Safari was unable to "connect to the proxy server"...
    MrHoffman wrote:
    1) So normally, there ISN'T a proxy being used?
    Proxies are used in school and corporate environments, and as a mechanism to >implement "network nanny" or parental controls, or when information leakage >involving sensitive or classified data, or personal or credit card data, or >other sensitive data is involved.
    When IT folks (or parents) are looking to monitor or control or track network access.
    up to this point I don't believe we were using a proxy server?
    2) A proxy "regulates" what traffic is passed between machines?
    A proxy can enforce access, or can cache access, yes.
    So no proxy in effect means traffic goes unchecked between computers...?
    Correct.
    do we HAVE to use a proxy server with the server?
    3) Where does a proxy take effect? At the Router/Gateway? The Server? or >individual machines?
    A functional proxy requires a proxy server, and settings at the firewall, and >on the client box.
    The proxy setting can be established via WGM, or locally via the system >preferences, or (and the following are less common) via malware or such, or due >to a bug. These settings are usually altered with WGM and system preferences, >in the vast majority of cases.
    Enabling a proxy server on the snow leopard server should help us out...but again, which address do I use? (in the server doc you referenced, it had "proxyserver.apple.com:8080")but I think that was just the format to use...
    Without intending any snark, read the manuals? Servers are big and complex >and expect an understanding of much more than the client boxes do; that's the >inherent difference between "server computing" and "client computing", after >all.
    I'm definitely appreciating how much involvement and understanding it takes to get one of these set up...and over the past three months, we've come a long way...
    again, thanks for the guidance and help!

  • Safari can't connect to server problem (just one website)

    After I upgraded my mac about a week ago, I can't open a particular website using my home wifi (Safari can't connect to server) It lets me open page but one, which happens to be my mail website. However, when I use a public wifi, I can open that website without any problem. Any ideas why this happens?

    Linc.
    I have been unable to connect to specific random favorite sites and tried your posts suggestion
    "Boot into Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results."
    I was able to connect to all my unavailable sites. Can you help me discover what is preventing my access when not in Recovery mode. I Made the Safari preferences match the recovery mode Safari preferences so that doesn't seem to be the problem.
    I ran EtreCheck
    These are the results

  • Safari can't connect to server, but is connected to the Internet

    Occasionally I receive the message that "Safari can't connect to the server" for particular Web sites. I believe most of the time it occurs when I am trying to access a Web site that eventually asks for a secure login. In none of these cases has my Macbook Pro actually lost connection to the Internet because I can "surf" to all sorts of other Web sites immediately after receiving this message for a specific Web site.
    In that context, does that mean that the specific Web site itself is "down" or is there some other issue with my Macbook Pro?

    Hi there cornguy.rln,
    You may want to try resetting Safari as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information. Note: While this information was is for Safari 6, it also applies to the current version of Safari 7.

  • Safari can't connect to a windows wireless access manager

    I am the automation coordinator for a library that uses all windows applications. We have recently installed a wireless access manager that we use to authenticate our patrons. We have discovered that patrons using safari cannot always connect to our WAM. They are getting the signal, I can see that much. But they can't then proceed to our log-in page. Other libraries in my consortium have discovered that if Safari users have ie or firefox also installed, they can use that browser to get to the web page, after which they can use safari to browse. It is just the log in page that safari can't connect to. Tech support from the WAM vendor claims this is not an issue they can reproduce. Any insight anybody can offer me here would be greatly appreciated.
