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.

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.

Periodically "safari can't open the page" - not a ISP issue

Periodically I will have an issue where I click on a link and anything from the website cannot be opened for about 2 minutes. I get the following message "Safari can’t open the page “https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/” because Safari can’t find the server “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”."
Here are some important notes:
I can access the website on my phone while the issue is occurring on my macbook pro
I can access all other websites
The issue lasts for about 2-3 minutes and all webpages with that address will not work
Any thoughts how to resolve the issue?

(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file: Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db and also clear your History)
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x as is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
You can cancel DNS pre-fetching by going to Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
You have to restart Safari for it to take effect.
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page. Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 and later appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
For this and other reasons Apple switched their websites to HTML in January 2011: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/26/apple_revamps_its_public_website_u sing_html5.html
The main reason I mentioned your ISP is that their servers may be too busy, which is why I suggested Open DNS.

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?

Safari can not open the page

When I tried to redeem apps via FreeAppDaily (app) and FreeMyApps (web) today.
when it jumps from FreeAppDaily and FreeMyApps to the redeem page, It pops up "URL is invalid, so Safari can not open the page".
I had successfully redeem apps in FreeMyApps previously.
I tried to restart, change wifi network, clear cookie and reset network setting, but they are useless.

Yes, I can access other Web sites in Safari
I can download free apps through FreeAppDaily and FreeMyApps.
for FreeAppDaily, I get the redeem code from the app and then redeem the app from AppStore sucessfully.
but for FreeMyApps, I sent a email to the developer, the thier reply cannot solve my problem.

Lion Safari: Are you getting grey "Safari can't open the page."?

Hello all,
Ever since upgrading to Lion, I notice sometimes when I click a link to go to another website from the original article/URL, I may get a grey page, nothing loads but with a grey large Safari logo with the mesage: Safari can't open the page. (smaller text) Safari can't open the page "http://www......" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
I never have this encounter in Snow Leopard's Safari, or maybe then the page just keep and try and keep loading, while in Lion I straight away get this "in my face".
Is anyone else getting this too?
Thanks.

HowWow,
Yup, I'm getting it too. I just posted a thread on the same topic: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16077250
Hopefully this will get resolved soon.
I wish the error logs were useful, but for me ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter contains nothing for Safari!
If you get any answer, I'd appreciate if you update my thread.
Thanks

"Safari can't open the page"

Whats going on?... I was about to "upload" a slideshow onto "youtube.com".
When I pressed the "submit" button in order to "upload" the slideshow,
I then get a message says: "Safari can't open the page"...
But, two days prior to this, I had no problem uploading another slideshow to "youtube.com".... it all had went smoothly..
I'm using Safari version 2.0.4
And, this has happened previously, but not that often in the past..
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I do believe my problem is solved!...
Please understand this: What solved my problem may not work for you, unless you've had the exact same mathematic computer constipation as I had...
This is what worked for me!.... Either "youtube.com", or "Safari" could not read the "file" (movie format) that I sent to it!...
In my case, after getting this "error message" above, I then decided to send the movie in a "Quicktime" file (movie).....and this time "youtube.com" did accept my slideshow!... Super great!..
So far, I've only sent (uploaded) two (2) movies to " youtube.com"..
The first one I sent was from "iphoto", which is in the "quicktime" format, so I had no problem with that upload...
The second one I sent was the one that I got the "Safari can't open the page".
And, that one was an "imovie" , which little did I know, was the "wrong" format...
So, now, in order to not make my live miserable, I'll be playing it safe, and most surely will send my brilliant works of art to youtube.com in the "quicktime" format....
So, this solution to my dreadful dilemma may or may not work for you.
But, it may work for someone, I hope...
Good luck, and God Bless America!......
Sal Pedi.....

Safari can't open the page on mac

Safari can't open the page. The error is the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted. Please help urgently. Thank you

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
