Safari - Can't see website page address

In Safari, I've lost the view showing the full website page link of a page I'm looking at, so e.g. I can't copy a link. Any ideas to restore?

Click inside the address bar to show full url address
or
Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Smart Search Field:
Enable "Show full website address".

You can't use Safari to download iPad apps. Only use iTunes/App Store.

How can I see multiple pages in safari

I used to be able to have up to 9 pages visible in safari, my husband has been playing with my iPad and upgrading it and now I can only see one page with the others in the toolbar only.... How an I change it back pls

iOS 5 added the use of Tabs at the top of the Safari screen. Just simply tap on a tab at the top under the browser bar to switch from site to site.

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 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.

Safari can't find a page

I have done a reset, a reload, empty cache... Sometimes I reload the page 15 times before Safari finds the page. This started happening right after I upgraded to Lion (10.7.3). I have a summer 2007 Mac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory. Thank you!

Mari...
There's help for the Safari can't find a page / server issue...
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK and restart your Mac.

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.

2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

There is no way to see where he has been.
Go into Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari and turn it off. Then add the MacGruff browser from the app store. After that go back to Restrictions and turn off the ability to add apps.

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.

I can not see some pages

Hi!
I very rarely happens, I have an iMac 27 "and I can not see some pages.
On the contrary I can see all the pages on my MacBook Pro.
Both computers are in the same table with the same wifi.
In Safari "I think" have the same configuration but it has to be no.
How I can see the pages on my iMac if I look at the MacBook Pro?
Thank you!
PS: sorry my english

     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.

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

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.
