Safari can't open a window

Hi,
I've updated iTunes, Safari and other updates, and than used the computer to set up iPad.
Ever since, Safari won't open a window.
I've tried removing any CT (toolbars) as indicated in other post but there aren't any. I've also tried configurating and additional user, but couldn't open Safari in that user either.
Any ideas?
(don't know much about computers so any help would be good).
Many thanks,
Shai

Hello,
I've also tried configurating and additional user, but couldn't open Safari in that user either.
That's not good. Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

  • Can't open any windows in Safari even after re-install

    I can't open any windows in Safari, even after installing Snow Leopard, not even the "About Safari" info window. I'm using Firefox to get online. I can open the program itself, but can't do anything else. I'm suspicious that it may be a virus, because I'm getting some weird messages on restart, such as asking me if I want to use some wireless network I never heard of, and if I want to give somebody access to my Twitter account - very strange. My son was using a website when this happened.

    Greetings,
    I'm suspicious that it may be a virus
    Not possible, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X. You should ask your son what site he was one and whether or not he downloaded and installed anything. And you should turn off wireless networking and delete any networks that you didn't specifically setup. Use Ethernet to connect to your modem/router for Internet access.
    Are you sure that Twitter is asking to give somebody access to your account, or just authorize them to follow your tweets? I've never seen Twitter do the former for anyone, ever.

  • Safari can't open specifics web sites

    i'm having troubles to re-open some web sites visited earlier.
    I'm on a macbook pro with leopard and safari 5.0.1, all updates installed
    Example: www.tgcom.it
    The first time opened without any problem, the second time can't open again.
    after typing the address and hit the return key, safari display immediately (without even trying to load the page) the white page with the alert:
    Safari can't connect to the server.
    Safari can't open the page “http://www.tgcom.it/” because safari can't connect to the server “www.tgcom.it”.
    I've try already to reset Safari and clean the cache. No changes.
    On the same network I have an iMac, which is loading this page anytime without any problem.
    As well a windows PC is on the same home network, the page can be loaded too.
    Only on this macbook pro i'm experiencing this issue.
    I don't know what to think more..... the problem can't be the web-site (it works with other machines)
    Other web sites on the macbook are working properly, only three address seams to be blocked from this machine only....
    any suggestions???? thanks
    Marco

    I suspect it has something to do with your ISP.
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results:
    If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

    If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.

  • Safari Can't Open Webpage

    I am using Safari at my home comuputer (Dell, Windows XP). I recently installed it within the past two weeks. Just this Sunday, I noticed that there are several pages that I haven't been able to view and the same message "Safari can’t open the page “https://cavs.bpcc.edu/” because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server “cavs.bpcc.edu”" pops up, except it uses the current URL.
    What is wrong? Anyone have any suggestions because I prefer Safari to IE7.
    Thanks

    According to the URL you posted, there's a link on that page for "Browser Requirements", though it looks as though it hasn't been updated in quite some time. Here what it says they support:
    To access Student Self-Service, your computer must be equipped with a browser capable of rendering HTML 4.01 and running JavaScript. The following browsers are known to be compatible:
    Windows browsers:
    Firefox 1.5.0.1 and 2.0
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0
    Mozilla 1.7.12
    Netscape 7.2 and 8.1
    MAC OS 10.4 browsers:
    Firefox 1.5.0.1 and 2.0
    Netscape 7.2
    MAC OS 10.3 browsers:
    Firefox 1.5.0.1
    Mozilla 1.7.12
    Netscape 7.2
    Assistive Technology:
    IBM Home Page Reader 3.02
    JAWS 5.0
    In your browser, you must enable:
    JavaScript (required for drop down menus)
    SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
    So if they don't support Safari, try downloading Firefox instead, and send them some email about their need to support Safari 3.x (a fully standards-compliant browser) for you and all other users immediately.

  • 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:

  • Can't open Finder windows or Preferences

    I can't open Finder windows or Finder Preferences.
    When I click on the Finder icon in the dock, use File>New Finder Window, the Go menu, or Finder>Preferences, nothing happens. I even tried opening a folder from Spotlight and "Open in Finder" from a stack but still nothing. I ran a cleaner (Cocktail) but no change. It's like having a virus. (Safari Autocomplete and Facebook login also stopped working about a day before I noticed this).
    The only thing problematic that has happened recently was while I was on familyguyx.net, the page loaded without any trigger to one of those pop-ups that repeatedly appears until you reset your browser. Since then I haven't been on that site but these other issues have started.
    Any help is really appreciated!

    Do you possibly have the Applescript menu or even some text processor in your dock?
    If you have the Script menu, open the script editor from that menu and type this into the untitled window:
    tell application "Onyx"
    activate
    end tell
    Then run it.
    If you don't, open a text editor-if you can-and type the same thing into it. Select all of the text and look for Services>Script Editor>Run As Applescript. That should run the above script and open Onyx. Services is under the Application Name menu.
    If those don't work, let me know what you have in your dock, and maybe I can figure out another way.

  • Safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding

    so i try going to gamefly.com and when i get to the website it won't let me browse the website or get into my account unless i'm useing my iphone with 3g i get the error message safari can't open the page because the server where this page is located isn't responding i tried it on every mac i have n its the samething i clear'd out my cache and cookes and even used different web broswers n still the same is there anyway to get this resolved i would be much aprecited thanks in advance.

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window:
    curl -I http://www.gamefly.com
    Press return. You should almost instantly get several lines of output below what you entered, the first of which begins with something like this:
    HTTP/1.1
    If there's no output within ten seconds, consider that a failure. You can then quit Terminal. Post your results.

  • 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.

  • TS1702 Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad,the Mac is working and wifi is on and the Ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open because it could not connect to the server, does any one know what have happened?

    Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Can't fix this - Safari can't open the page

    i am connected to the Internet and some website will open others won't, it depends. I keep getting the message Safari can't open the page. It is specifically with the links, I have tested this on my other computer and I can get on the website fine. I have been looking on forums but have not found anything that works? Any ideas

      Go step by step by step and test.
    1. 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.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204
    2. Delete Caches.db
        Close all windows and quit all applications.
        Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
        Select "Library" from the dropdown.
        Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
        Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
        Close windows and relaunch Safari.
    3. Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    4. Delete Cookies
        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:

  • "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server"

    I just bought my iPhone. The first time I attempted to log onto my home wireless network (US Robotics Wireless Router) the iPhone performed perfectly. However, the next time I attempted to logon and surf it gave me the "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" error message. I tried a variety of things which didn't work. I called the Apple Tech Support. Turning off the router and rebooting it was the only thing that worked. I thought my problem was resolved because after cycling the router the iPhone worked great once again. But . . . later the same day I attempted to connect to the router and the same thing happened and I got the error message. I attempted to power cycle the router just like before but this time it did not work! Help! Bad router? Wrong settings on router or iPhone?

    Do you have other wireless devices connected to this same router? Do they work?
    I really can't help you much but to say that when my router exhibited this issue it was accross the board (all notebooks would connect immediately following a router restart, but would loss connectivity until I rebooted the router again). In my case the only solution that was permanent was to replace the router.
    You may also try restarting the phone and the router, setup security - WEP - (or disable security) on the router and phone, and/or try a different wi-fi channel (may actually help).

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?
