Safari can't open https
Hi,
I need to acces several https cites, but the problem is that safari can't do this.
I'm using the latest version of safari 5.0.1, there are no extension installed (except for Adblock), MacOs 10.5.8
I'm connected to the interned via wi-fi router, and I've got no chance plugging directly to the internet without router.
The problem is, that when I only connected to the internet using router safari did open https cite, but after may be two hours and till present refuses.
I tried reseting safari, clearing its cache, repairing permissions and restarting my mac - but it's still the same.
any help will be appreciated
HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
It's AdBlock that causing the problem. Go to Safari / Preferences - AdBlock and click Uninstall.
Restart your Mac.
You should be able to access https sites again.
If you want a better ad blocker get Glimmer Blocker for v10.5 and up.

I am using Safari Version 5.0.2 (6533.18.5)
Mac OS X 10.6.4 on an iMac.
Had no problem going to website https://www.usaa.com prior to today, but today when I try to access the website I get the message that Safari can't find the server. All other websites can be accessed normally. I got on my wife's Mac laptop and using Firefox tried to access https://www.usaa.com. Her computer also cannot locate the server. I called USAA.com and they said their website is operating normally. I removed the pop-up-ad blocker and restarted. Still couldn't access the https:. Repaired Disk Permissions and still no joy on the website. I have no Firewalls. Any suggestions? My next attempt will be to enter TimeMachine and try to reset Safari to a day or two ago and see if that works.Carolyn,
I Selected SHOW COOKIES and could not fine any for usaa.com
Tried EMPTYING CACHE
Did SYST PREF/NETWORK - Advanced Tab and then Proxies Tab (none of the boxes were selected/configured)
Don't have any Anti-Virus program installed
Checked Parental Controls in SYST PREF and no controld/blocks were set
Depowered/RESET my DSL router and then my AIRPORT
Also, entered TimeMachine and reset Safari to 3 October when I know it was working well
Uninstalled Yahoo BrowserPlus V2.9.2
RESTARTED computer
Checked SOFTWARE UPDATE and found a Secutity Update andJava for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 were not installed. Installed the update and restarted the computer.
After all of the above, still could not access www.usaa.com (Safari could not find the site) Really is a puzzle. Have had a Mac for 25plus years and never had a problem like this.
I am going to try bypassing Airport and plugging the Ethernet cable directly into my computer and see perhaps Airport is the problem. Will let you know the results shortly.
Many thanks for your suggestions

Safari keeps giving and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
Any help would be appreciatedThe "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password. Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls. Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)? If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

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
JohnHi 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. -
When I try to access my webmail account at work, I get the following error:
"Safari can’t open the page.
Safari could not open the page “http://mail.wsd1.org:8383/” because the server is not responding."
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.It's a much more serious problem than that. I haven't been able to open this page for a month and suspect it has to do with a port issue.

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
MarcoI 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. -

I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page. What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

You are not connected to the internet - Safari can't open the page
After wake up Mac OS X 10.6.8 from sleep, Safari 5.1.7 on Ethernet does not connect to web servers:
"You are not connected to the internet" "Safari can't open the page"
The issue disappears after restarting the Mac. Is there a way to fix it besides restarting?Some instructions for removing Community Toolbar are available in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15868085#15868085

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.
ThanksAccording 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 the specified address for my last.fm playlist
Recently my favorite radio app - last.fm - has been unable to open in Safari. The error is: Safari can’t open lastfm//user/~ because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “lastfm:”. Though the home page is http://www.last.fm/home, the link to personal playlist does not contain http://lastfm/user/ ~ . I suppose this is a lastfm technical issue, so my post could be just an fyi. Right?
Works fine for me when I go to http://www.last.fm/
You haven't bothered showing what operating system you are running, or on what, or what version of Safari you are using, so I am working in the dark. -
I have an iMac running OS10.3.9 Safari does not open http pages at all. The following message: "Safari can't open page "http://www.(whatever website) because it couldn't establish a secue connection to the server "(whatever website). I have exhausted the Safari & MAC help without success. This started a few weeks ago. Needless to say I have been using a different browswer to access these websites but would like to use Safari again.
Thank you for any helpI hope guessing is allowed.
Your behind a proxy server -- disable it.
You running a third-party firewall -- disable it.
Hawaiian_Starman posts the following and it work for many people.
Quit Safari and add DNS server numbers to your System Preferences ->Network panel.
Select your type of connection and then select Advanced.
In the DNS servers panel enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 if you live in the US and click Apply.
Outside the US - use 208.67.222.220 and 208.67.220.222 and click Apply.
Launch Safari and from the Safari menu select Empty Cache - try the url's again.
Good luck,
Tom -
