Safari can't verify the identity of the website.........

So yesterday I removed one stick of memory and added another (larger) stick of memory. This is the only thing I have done latly. I had surfed the net after changing ram and nothing seemed wrong. Today when I go to log in to my e-mail I get the warning that "Safari cant verify the identity of the website........" Found it a little odd. I went to another website where I am always logged in however this time I wasn't. When I clicked on the login button the safari warning appeared again. I checked two other sites that I frequent and am always logged into except now I'm not. It even appeared when I logged in to post this queston. Is this something to worrie about? Is there an virus or spyware I could have picked up somewhere? Is this a security issue? what's the problem? This is just too weird and I'm a little paranoid anyways.

Hello Linc,
April 13, 2015
For years you've been a most valuable asset to me here at Apple.Com.
I REALLY wish I could speak with you on the phone, because this is a little heavy.
But for now I am TRYING to find the instructions/article that appears when you click the question mark "?".... that appears at the bottom of the drop down message which reads as follows....To see an image of it...the scroll halfway down and someone named WildBill posted an image of the drop down that is associated with the subject of this thread.....One of the 2 links below will show you a picture of the drop down and question mark.
FIX for: "Safari can't verify the identity of the website" - certificate not valid
Below is something that may or not be relative....but I just wanted you to see a photo of the drop down warning,...I think the one ABOVE is the one....the one below I'm not sure.....I am so tired right now.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6983714?start=15&tstart=0
Below is an article apple sent me but this is not what I was looking for
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password - Apple Support
There is a question mark that when you click on it sends you to an article/instructions on the side telling you what to do, but since I no longer get this pop up I can't find THAT article/instructions.
I'm pretty sure the headline of the article read something like this.
"What to do if Safari can't verify a security certificate as valid".....something like that.
The reason I need to see those instructions again is I need to retrace my steps to make sure I didn't make a mistake when I was in Keychain Access.
I called Apple and they didn't seemed interested in helping me.
Perhaps you can.
Thanks Linc,
Apple Dreamer
P.S....How do I know if you respond to this?.....Should of I left my phone number or email address?

In your Keychain under 'login' delete the VeriSign certificates and then quit and restart all browsers/itunes/app store.

Safari can't verify the identity of website. What to do?

I am getting a "certificate invalid" message using Safari on a number of sites, including my bank, Apple iTunes, insurance company, and many others.   The message is: "Safari can't verify the identity of the website (then the specific site is named)". I have spoken with my bank and they say it is an issue with Safari and I should try another browser. I tried Firefox and the connection to the sites is perfect, no issues or warnings at all. What is wrong with Safariu and what, other than stop using it, can be done to correct the certificate issue?

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.

HT6065 After upgrading to OS X Mavericks v 10.9.1, keep getting "safari can't verify the identity of the website" and asks to show certificate, cancel or continue. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hello. Just upgraded to OS X Mavericks v 10.9.1. Now I keep getting "safari can't verify the identity of the website" error. I looked for other updates, but none are available. Am I doing something wrong? Didn't do this before the upgrade, now I can't seem to log into anything through safari.

Most websites are checked to make sure they do not contain viruses or that they are properly encrypted. If safari cannot identify a website's ceritificate, check if other browers do the same thing (make sure they are up to date browsers), if they all say it cannot be verified, then the site was probably hijacked and you should run a full scan of your computer for viruses, unless the page was blocked by safari and redirected to something that said fraudulent webstie detected.

"Final Cut Pro Trial.app" can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.

Downloaded the FCP trial version from the Apple FCP site several times and still get the following error.
“Final Cut Pro Trial.app” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed.
Safari downloaded this file today at 1:34 AM from www.apple.com.
Strange that Apple can't verify it's self.

To get around that, go to system preferences>security & privacy>allow apps loaded from anywhere. Then set it back to whatever you wish after you finish the download.

Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to.

I had a Windows 2008 server which was upgraded to 2012. Now RDC doesn't work and I get the following message:
Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to.
RDC works on the server because I can reach it via other windows machines, just not my Mac any more. I suspect it is a certificate issue but I can't find it in my key chain.
Any suggestions?

Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer because there is a time or date diffrence between your computer and remote computer

Hello.....
I'm not able to log into Windows Server 2008 r2 server thorugh Remote Desktop connection, receiving below error message.
This issue is with only three servers in the environment
"Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer because there is a time or date diffrence between your computer and remote computer......"
The date/time is correct on the server when i checked in the console session of the server
Can see below messages in event logs
Event ID 1014:
"Name resolution for the name XYZdomain.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded."
Event ID 1053:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the user name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
Any thoughts ....

Hi,
Have you tried to connect these three servers with IP address instead of computer name or DNS name?
Check Remote Desktop Connection settings: Option-->Advanced-->Connect from anywhere-->Settings-->Connection Settings-->Select “Do not user an RD Gateway server”
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

I need to cancel my account, but I cannot verify my identity over the phone

I need to cancel my account, but I cannot verify my identity over the phone as I do not know what pin I entered, or what security answer I put in, and of course there are no recent numbers in my phone, but I'm still me, and I'm still the one who pays my bill, and I still need to close my account, and I need a way to do that. Honestly I'm getting quite frustrated here and am considering starting a lawsuit or submitting my story to a newspaper, I like verizon and thought I would get my next phone under verizon as well, but now I'm not so sure. But whatever the the case, even if I need to go somewhere in person with my id to prove that I'm the owner of my account, I need it closed.
I really hope that someone here can help me solve this issue, or direct me to someone who can solve this issue for me. I think that the better business bureau would find it as atrocious as I do that a person could get looped into payments that they don't want and cannot get out of, now I know that this was not the intention, but I really do need to cancel my plan because I cannot afford the bill.

I am trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. The dmg from Wacom downloadsand will opens, but when I try to install it the message "Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed"

iMac late 2009 3,06GHz Intel Core Duo; 500gb hard drive, 12gb memory. OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed.'
I have been trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. There are several driver packages listed on the website (the device is supplied ready to run with Windows devices) and I have tried tried downloading all the available drivers which apply to my set-up. Some will not open at all and I get a 'Damaged' message on my screen. Of the ones which open, I can download the .dmg and expand it but when clicked it opens as a window with multiple choice of languages and an icon which instructs you to click to open.
If I do this some versions repeat the 'damaged' message but the later ones generate a window saying:-
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed.' - this is as far as I can get it to go; most frustrating!
I understand that Apple's security updates have recently included an alteration that causes this result, and that there is supposed to be a legal (i.e. Apple sanctioned) workaround to allow files like this to be opened. If this is so, can anyone enlighten me?

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

Can not verify apple id. The email on my itunes account is no longer good. How do i change my email in my current itunes account?

can not verify apple id. The email on my itunes account is no longer good.

You can change it. At the top of iTunes, click Store > View My Account, log in with your password, View Account. To the right of your Apple ID click the word Edit, and it will take you to a page where you can edit your email address.
You are right to avoid creating a new account if at all possible, since having multiple accounts usually causes complications down the line.

First:
 (Apple menu) > System Preferences > Users & Groups > select your account > Login Items.
Determine if that program appears in that list. If it does, select it and then remove it from Login Items with the "–" (minus) button.
Next:
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Open:
/Library/StartupItems/
If the program or an alias to it appears in that folder, drag it to the Trash.
Next:
When you log out or shut down your Mac, de-select the checkbox that begins with the words "Reopen windows... "

The certificate is not valid and cannot be used to verify the identity of this website

Question posted in Stack Overflow too: java - How to solve "The certificate is not valid and cannot be used to verify the identity of this website" error? - St…
The question is, How to solve "The certificate is not valid and cannot be used to verify the identity of this website" error?.
Here are the details:
I have a signed applet that has been working fine, until I updated Java to 8u25 (1.8.0_25-b18). Now, the application shows an alert message "Do you want to continue? The connection to this website is untrusted". There is a note in this message too, "The certificate is not valid and cannot be used to verify the identity of this website".
The applet is loaded without problems. But when the user tries to use a specific function of that application, the warning message is displayed.
I've checked the java console when this happens, and this warning message is displayed right after these lines:
security: Obtain certificate collection in SSL Root CA certificate store
security: Invalid certificate from HTTPS server
network: Cache entry not found [url: https://sub.domain.net:9876, version: null]
The application is downloaded from a different domain, say "https://app.domain.net/ .....", so no jars are downloaded from "https://sub.domain.net:9876 ", but the applet connects to "https://sub.domain.net:9876 " to send/receive data.
The applet is signed correctly, and so far, it meets all the security requirements according to Java. This issue seems to happen when the application tries to connect internally with an HTTPS url like https://sub.domain.net:9876. That sites' SSL certificate is valid, issued by GoDaddy and has not expired.
Again, this started to happen after updating my JRE to 8u25. I've tested adding the offending URL to Java security exception list, with no success.
Here are a few screenshot of this problem:
This is the warning message displayed:

For what it's worth we discovered what the issue was. When we installed the new certificates onto our servers we also discovered that you have to install the certificates of all intermediate servers listed in your certificate. This mean that all URLs listed on your certificate, have to have the intermediate certificate for the certificate authority installed. This also includes all the Alt Names of your domains, even if they do not use the applet.
