I have experienced the same problems Brand new iMac for Christmas came with Tiger installed did and update to Leopard that came with the computer. Can't connect to certain websites and some won't load the associated graphics, i.e. apple.com, yahoo.com, and gmail. Called Apple support they suggest resetting safari, worked for a couple of hours. Called back and they suggested power off iMac disconnect the cat5 from the computer, power down the router, power down the dsl modem, wait 3 minutes. Then restart the modem, router and then connect the cat. They explained that this would help the iMac correct the problem of connecting to the DNS server. This solution was also short lived, a few hours. I also have experienced problems associated with servers in Mail and iTunes. total time on phone with support including wait time 3 hours. This is getting old. Any ideas on workarounds I am happy to try. I will download firefox and give that a try. I have two other laptops one windows, and the other a MacBook and have not problems connecting to the internet.

Safari can't open any website

Safari can't open any website and it shows a message about not connecting to the server. What should i do to fix it?

I could - rarely - find where a 3rd party product update may have some adverse side effect, but rare.
Maybe Safari 5.1 for Windows added and closed security but wasn't tested enough to see what effects it would have.
Consider, seems every day the same question is posed and asked.
There is a command to flush Windows DNS I saw....
I just tried to go to one thread and it vanished "Looking for something" and blank page now.
Safari 5.1 Cant open websites

Safari can't open Google website

For the last couple of days, my default search engine (www.google.com) was not searching, and giving me following error:
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “www.google.com”.
I went through pages in support about problems with third-party plugins. I've tried un-checking "Enable plug-ins"; Resetting Safari; Emptying Cache; Re-starting Safari and computer, nothing has worked. Other search engines are working e.g. bing, yahoo. I can't open any of google websites from .com or .co.uk or gmail. I've just tried using Firefox and it also can't open google websites.
I'm using Safari 5.0.3 (5533.19.4) on a Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I had Glims installed on my machine, which I just un-installed it; re-started; re-set safari, but still can't open google website.
As far other websites are concern, so far all the websites which are in frequent use can open. Is there problem with Google, Safari/Firefox (browser) or my mac (virus or something)?
Thanks a lot everyone.
PS: Oh yes. I got update on Safari yesterday, is that causing any issues?

I had the same problem too.
I searched by using bing.com (fortunately MS search engin has helped me )
I found a archived post https://discussions.apple.com/message/11061084#11061084
I did what Carolyn said and I also checked the PeerGuardian app
but I don't think it's because of this app that my connection wasn't possible, because I rarely use it.
Et voilà, everything works now.
I'd like to thank Carolyn and Rave for allowing me to do not format my dear iBook G4 that I haven't formated for over 3 years!!! (I've done the whole backup of my iBook)

Safari can't open a website because of Mac OS X

Safari can’t open the specified address.
Safari can’t open “mms://mirrors.martin.bitstop.ph/dwiz” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “mms:”.

To read mms feeds you need Windows Media Player or
some other apps:

Safari can't open a website because Mac OS X doesn't recognize Internet addresses starting with "http:". WHAT??

Today I have been receiving intermittent error messages while running Safari v5.0.6 on my iMac running Mac OS X v 10.5.8 that Safari cannot open internet sites starting with https: or http: because OS X does not recognize https: or http:. It seems to be happening when I try to click on links within pages directing me to other info (on secure web pages).
Clearly there is something very weird going on, as obviously this site is one that starts with https: and I am here posting to the community. Has anyone else seen this?
What is this all about? It worked fine yesterday - I have made no changes to anything. Safari has been running like a slug the past few weeks. I have Apple auto update set to check for updates daily - so I truly have no idea were this is coming from. Any guidance would be apprecited! Thx -

Hello - anyone have any comments for me on this? Thx -

What can I do when Safari does not open a website? I get a "too many redirects" message.

Safari can not open a website on my iPad. (www.rci.com) Message received is: "Cannot open. Too many redirects." What should I do?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying i hav'nt got a valid certificate, and safari can't open it, why has this started happening?

When logging on to certain websites I get a tab come up saying Safari can't open it Because the certificate is not valid, why has this just started happening, and how do I correct it?

Either someone has installed a client side cert into Safari or the site in question has let their SSL cert expire. (not your fault). You could try using Firefox or Chrome instead.

Problem with Safari and Firefox opening some websites

In Firefox I have recently been getting:
THE CONNECTION IS RESET
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web
Also a message in Safari:
"Safari can’t open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
It is only occurring with a few sites, but occurs on the same websites in both browsers.
I'm using an iMac, running OSX 10.4.11 and using Airport to connect to a Netgear wireless router.
I've emptied cashes, cleaned cookies, reset browsers etc, I've run MacScan, but the problem persists.
Having already done some on-line searches I have seen people talk about proxies, DNS and possible malware (though usually referring solutions to PC's.
Any one know of a fix for this?

Hi,
Make sure your are running the latest version of Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar click: About Safari
The version number will be displayed there. You need to be using 4.0.4 If Safari needs updating go to your Apple Menu then click Software Updates.
Safari 4.0.4 requires the 2009-001 Security Update. Open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updates. If that update is not listed go here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_001__Tiger_PPC
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Select the tab. Make sure none of the boxes are
checked under: Select a proxy server to configure
Try disconnecting the router from it's power source for 5 minutes, reconnect the router and
restart your Mac.

Safari won't open secure websites

Since installing Mountain Lion my Safari will only open https websites about 25% of the time. I get the message "can't establish secure connection"..... I close Safari and reopen and at times it will work for a short while. Other times I have to restart the computer. The problem always returns after a while.
It never did this before I installed Mountain Lion. Any ideas?

1Password or Trusteer's Rapport security software could be causing Safari to not be able to access https sites.

Can't open a website that supports only Internet Explorer

hi, i can't open a website that supports only Internet Explorer (high-q.co.il - which i need badly for my bachlor dagree)!!
my mac runs OS X 10.9.2 system operation. i cant open this site with: chrome,opre,firefox,safari...
what should i do?

Try changing your browser agent using the Developer menu your browser preference can enable.
If that doesn't work, complain to your college dean that the website violates accessibility laws, and should follow http://www.w3.org worldwide conventions to ensure accessibility. Do not enter any personal information if you are forced to use Windows to browse the website, as it may be insecure.

Safari can't open the page https

Frustrating to say the least. About a week ago whilst in Google mail, Safari failed to open an email instead it opened a page displaying the message Safari can’t open the page “https"//mail.google.com" etc
A page refresh also failed to open the page as did a my attempt to "Sign out".
Later that day the same problem occurred when I was using my bank's website. Oddly, when I turned to Camino and it too failed to open Googlemail and the bank's site. On my MacBook both sites worked from both applications. Add if I use a different user account on my Mac Pro, I don't have the problem.
My account is a “Standard” user. A logout and back in and it works again, a reboot and it works again but after a couple of hours the problem returns:
Any help welcomed as the following steps have failed to resolve the issue:
Empty Safari cache
Reset Safari
Uninstall Safari 4.0 beta and re-install Safari 3
Re-install Safari 4.0 beta
Swaped ethernet connection on my Mac Pro
Verify Disk Permissions
Repair Disk Permissions
Delete website history with "Adobe, Website Storage Settings panel"
Reset router
Rebooted Smoothwall
ClamXav found nothing
DNSChanger Removal Tool found nothing
iServices Trojan Removal Tool found nothing
removed .GlobalPreferences.plist
Thx

Hi John
Google Mail has been problematic on Safari 4. There are a number of threads in the Safari 4 Beta forum addressing the issue.
Thanks for posting the steps you have taken so far.
In a broader sense, security certificates are at the root of secured sites functioning. Those certificates are part of the Keychain file in HD>System>Library>Keychains. Perhaps, the keychain file needs repair. Open Keychain Access in your Applications>Utilities folder. In the Keychains Menu, select "Keychain First Aid">repair. If any errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
If no errors appear, you may have to reestablish the keychain entries in your Standard account. Do you have administrative privileges assigned to that account?
Also, I'm not familiar with Smoothwall's operation/setup, however, some tweaking of its settings may be necessary. Here's some dated technospeak about Smoothwall and Safari.

Safari is not opening certain websites

it seems ever since the latest software updates on Safari and Security preferences a couple of weeks ago I have been having problems loading websites that have loaded before with out any problem. I put in the websites and they try and load and they just hang there and I can find any reason why they dont load .They are not problems with the websites because i have another website (http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/) in which I can type in an address to check if something is wrong with there server or if its my problem.
I am not super techie but I have tried some things through forums searches such as trying Open DNS (i think thats what is is ) and doing other things that have been recommended in order to fix the problem I am having ut nothing seems to work thus far.
I was hoping someone might be able to help me fix this problem because I am going mad.These are just some of the website that were working before but not any more
http://beautifuldecay.com/
http://jakedavis.typepad.com/jakedavis/
http://www.manystuff.org/
http://www.ns.nl/
I have looked at my activity window and for the beautiful decay website out of 14 items it is able to load 13 and seems to hang or get stuck on this line
http://d1.openx.org/spcjs.php?id=14416&target=_blank
with the message 0 bytes of ? I dont know what that means in the end after a while it say 1 error that same line and a gray grayed out cancelled remark after it
for the ns.nl page i get this message
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.ns.nl/” because the network connection was reset. This problem can occur if either the server or the network connection is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
which is strange because it would load it fine before the update
the other two website as far as the activity window is concerned show no info while they are trying to load
Any help I would greatly appreciate, also any direction given may have to be very specific since i am not used to having to fix any technical problems on my mac so am unfamiliar for the most part where any special settings and such would be that you wouldn't use on a daily basis
thanks to any one that can lend a hand

Just for clarification these are the things i have tried already
set up my computer to an open DNS system
Disk repair
Reset Safari
cleared cache
deleted this file. com.apple.safari.plist
I went into the terminal window and copy pasted a cache clearing command from one of the forums but that didn't seem to work because it gave me a message like unknown command or something like that
and i think thats about it for now. I f there is any way to fix this i would appreciate any help as i am first time user of the forum
thanks

Safari can't open certain pages, can't find the server

Hi
On both my iMac and iOS devices (all connected to same Airport TimeCapsule Wi-Fi network), certain web pages won't open in Safari (specific example www.amazon.co.uk).
Safari returns the message "Safari can't open the page "www.amazon.co.uk" because Safari can't find the server "www.amazon.co.uk"".
Opening other pages works fine.
Have tried Safari option "Clear History and Website data" (all history) without success. Have also tried rebooting the TimeCapsule (disconnecting power cord), also without improvement.
When trying to connect to the same website over 4G on iOS device, no problem occurs.
Can anyone help me?
All software on all devices are updated to latest versions.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Can't open any website

I can't open any website using Firefox. I tried for 4 hours this morning, just blank, or "loading" (but nothing actually loaded). Finally got google partially open but not completely. Shut down my computer about 50 times, had my internet provider check my DSL connection (working "really fast" they said), 12 hours later, still can't open a damned thing. Upgraded to 3.6.13, still nothing. Finally got Safari open (which i've never used successfully on my emac), and it's super fast. I give up on Firefox.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
