Safari can't open page - server stopped responding
I'm running Safari 1.3.2 on OSx 10.3.9, G4 Mac, 1 GB Ram, Cable modem & router. All was fine until several days ago and started receiving this message when going to a secured page (I'm assuming this is where the web address begins with https) such as banking or paying bills online. I have done the following... shutdown-restart on Mac/cablemodem/router, deleted the plist, removed all cookies, reset Safari, checked login items in system prefs, checked all ethernet and cable modem settings. I've had no installations or upgrades. I've reviewed other similar discussions and followed recommendations to others. The problem persists. Then to make the problem worse, once this message comes up, Safari really slows down in loading any page (even pages like www.apple.com). As a backup, I'm running Explorer in classic mode...no problem opening secure pages and it's faster. Any suggestions on how to resolve Safari problems.

Eme,
I've done the disk repair (a maintenance I do every week anyway). I've checked all of the network settings you referred to (I did that previously also)...all are correct. I am 'Using DCHP' and do not have any info in the 'DSN Servers' box. I have not tried setting up another user/account for testing.
However...I think I may have come up with a resolution when Explorer 5.2 (OSx) started exhibiting identical problems and Explorer 5.1.6 (OS 9.2.2) began slowing down noticeably. This lead me to believe the problem is communicating with the ISP. Before calling them, I did the following in this order...1-powered down my network (CPU/Router/Cable Modem) and unplugged all cables including power cords. 2-plugged in the cables to the cable modem and powered it up. 3-Once the cable modem was ready, I plugged in the cables to the router and plugged in the power cord. 4-When it was ready, I plugged in the cable to the Mac's ethernet port and powered it up. Safari is now back to it's snappy, responsive self and no more sluggish or stopped responding messages. All https windows are opening as before.
Note: I am not going to post this as resolved yet. My wife's Toshiba laptop is not on the network yet (using wireless communication to the Linksys router). I doubt if this is a factor, but once this is done, then I'll know for sure after a couple days if resolved (her laptop with Explorer did not experience any network problems before and while the problems were going on with Safari).

Safari fails to open pages - "server not responding"
Hello all. I just got my new MacBook a few days ago. This is my first Mac and I love it! Safari was working perfectly until yesterday. When I try to open any webpage, it says that Safari "failed to open page because the server stopped responding". Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!Hello BlueOrca,
Have you tried Safari in an other user account if not do so please.
System pref. ->Accounts -> Login Options [+] to create one. Log out of yours & into that one. This help to pinpoint if this issue is systemic or user specific
Which ISP do you use ?
Which Router do you USE, Does it have a Firewall ?
Can you find it here ? Do you know how to configure, do check the settings.

• TCP/IP tab:
Do you have DNS # Values entered in the DNS # Field Box ?
If not enter them. Find your server here and the DNS # to enter

Configure IPv4: Do you use Using DHCP Lease ?
IPv6 address do you see one there? If not try setting
Configure IPv6: Is that set on Automatically, if not try that
• Proxy tab:
Do you have Proxies checked ? if you do try Deselecting it.
If AOL is a browser does it have settings that over ride Safaris ability to connect nI know nada about AOL, perhaps you could check its settings.
Let us know how you fare, okay?

Safari could not open because server stopped responding
My iphone4s can not open safari and it says the server has stopped responding. I have powered off several times and have cleared the safari history. nothing works. what now?
Can you get onto any site in Safari, or can't you even open the app properly ? You could see if any of the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
I am getting message Safari can not open page. Server stopped responding. I have tried several suggestions but they have not worked.
This is on an iPad, correct? Are you sure you have a network connection? Is your iPad Wifi or Wifi & 3G? I know these might seem like dumb questions, but we've got to narrow it down to get a solution. If you're absolutely positive you have an active network connection we can move on to other things.

I am currently using my Iphone 4 in wifi networks only after canceling my cell phone plan. Over the weekend I did the IOS6 update on the iphone as well as updated my macbooks itunes and OS X operating systems updates that were available. Since that my iphone's safara app won't connect. After it trys to connect for a minute or 2 I recieve the message: "safari can not open page because server stopped responding". However ALL other apps that require the phone to be connected to wifi for use work properly, i.e app store, imessage, pinger, facebook, etc. I have checked all network setting and they looked right to me. Anything I'm missing, ideas to try, or am I sol (lol)? Safari worked perfectly before the update so I thought I might have done something wrong or forgot to change some type of setting.
Thank you!If you can access Facebook while on Wifi at home, but you are unable to access it while away running on your carrier's 2G network, I could phone your carrier. You have already completed the Cellular Data troubleshooting for the iPhone, so any limitations keeping your from connecting to Facebook over cellular will have to be answered by your carrier.

My wi-fi connection is enabled, however Safari is telling me the server stopped responding. My laptop is working fine on the same wi-fe network. I have reset the network settings and still Safari will not open any web pages. Help!
Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

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.

Safari Can't Open Page Because Server Stopped Responding
I am trying to connect to a web site for Deal or No Deal Mobile game. When I try to access it, I get an message that Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. I sent the text as instructed and rec'd a repsonse back with the web site. I have tried accessing it from the text message and also by typing it in. Same reponse both times.
Try this... tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart the iPad. Press and hold the Sleep / Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe the slider to power off. Then press and hold the Sleep / Wake button until you see the Apple logo. -
Could not open the page server stopped responding

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

My ISP provided the DNS information to try (Of course, the ISP can access all the sites on PC and Mac. And other Mac users with this same cable ISP can also access these sites.)
But in my case, these actions were all unsuccesful:
Used 4 browsers
Bypassed hub and connected Mac to cable modem directly
Disconnected power from cable modem 2 minutes
Disabled Norton Firewall
Used different hub port
Restarted
Signed out
Deleted Safari plists
Deleted Cookies
Emptied Safari cache
Deleted Safari cache folder
Dragged InputManagers from their folders
Repaired permissions
No duplicate fonts found
No Network Proxies enabled
TCP/IP setting of the computer is set to DHCP - obtaining IP
address and DNS server IP address automatically.
G4 1.0Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9) Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3)I am having the same issue. Its says that the server has stopped running. THis has gone on for three days straight. First time it fixed it by powering down the unit, the next time it worked resetting the network settings. Now its happened again and these two options do not work either. What do I do or what could be wrong??

I have been following this forum about wifi disconnecting. I get a popup stating " safari cannot open the page because the server stopped responding". The iPad shows four bars and that I am connected.
I recognize this as a problem similar to others in this forum, but they don't mention the error message that I explained above.
I have tried all the "fixes" with no results.
I am using a Belkin wireless N+ routerHi everyone, I also had the same problem with connecting to the internet at home, with a brand new iPad, but managed to sort it out today with the help of the Genius Bar staff. I figured it was a router/software issue because wifi/internet was working at my university and at the Apple store. As posted in other threads on this forum, your iPad was probably not assigned an IP address.
I am using an Airport Express 802.11n, and this is connected via ethernet to my modem from my internet provider in Switzerland. It seems the problem is with "Bridge Mode", and my modem won't give out an IP address to my iPad. To fix this, I used the "Share a Public IP address" mode instead of Bridge mode. In Airport Utility, I went to Manual Setup - Internet - Internet Connection tab - Connection Sharing - Share a public IP address.
Then in the DHCP tab, DHCP reservation, I added my iPad to this list. it will ask you for your iPad's MAC number, which you can find in your iPad Settings - General - About - Wifi Address. I did not bother adding my Macbook or iPhone and wifi is still working for them so I think this IP address reservation step might be optional.
For those not using Macs or Airport Utility, unfortunately I am not familiar with setting up routers in the browser, so I can't help you there, but hopefully you get the idea.
Internet now works, but I haven't tried it long enough to know whether I have issues with dropping wifi, but at least the IP address is obtained and I can surf.
Hope this helps others!!!!!! -
Safari can't open pages that Firefox can
If there is a break in connectivity when Safari is loading a page, it says it can't load the page. When connectivity is back on, Safari still can't load the page. Firefox can. I empty the cache and reset the cache, as well as shutting Safari down and restarting it, but none of that seems to work and the crap program still can't load the page.
Any clues as to how to get Safari to do what it is supposed to do?
Thanks in advance for the advice.I've had this issue ever since owning my macbook with leopard (nov 2007) Safari will display:
Safari can’t find the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://whatever page you wanted” because it can’t find the server “watever website”.
This error is completely random and doesnt always effect the same site. I could be on paypal looking at my account then the next moment trying to click a link in paypal I get the cant find sever page. Now the entire paypal site will no longer pull up. I can still surf other pages just nothing that revolves around paypal.
And again its not paypal only. Just about any sites. There is no set number of sites that pulls this up. However, I can use Camino on the same site on the same computer and while Safari pulls up a can not find Camino pulls it up just fine.
Something is wrong with how Safari handles/translates websites. I have tried disabling IPv6 but it doesn nothing to it. Since I have had this error for a few months I have concluded it is an error with Safari as another browser on the same computer and network settings work just fine.
The only way to get the site to pull back up is to reboot the computer (Clearing cache or resetting safari does nothing to help) -
"Safari Can't Open Page" but the page opens in other browsers??
Hope someone can help with this strange issue. I get the message:
"Safari can't open the page https://secure-en-%0aadmc.premiumtv.co.uk/internalLogin/loginProcess/0,,13061,00 .html because the page address is invalid"
However the same page opens in Chrome.
The page prior to this step is a log in page where I enter my username and password for that site, as soon as I hit enter the error message appears. It's as if it doesn't even try to open the page, the message appears that quickly.
I have enabled cookies, emptied the cache, re-started and searched the forums for similar issues. The fact that it opens on other browers is what's getting to me. I've only just moved over to Safari after being a long time Chrome user and ideally only want to use one browsers and not have to switch between the two.
I'm running the Safari 6.0 on Mountain Lion.
Appreciate any help!http://www.en.bpl.admcsport.com/page/Home
This is the login page. When I enter my username and password I get the error message:
"Safari can't open the page https://secure-en-%0aadmc.premiumtv.co.uk/internalLogin/loginProcess/0,,13061,00 .html because the page address is invalid"
When I do the same in Chrome, it lets me in with no error message. Once I'm successfully logged in (in Chrome) the web page address is: http://www.en.bpl.admcsport.com/page/Home/
The page the Safari is showing as an error message must be some intermediary page used to validate the login which Safari doesnt like for some reason.
