Safari can"t verify website message

I have been receiving the message:  Safari cant verify the website "static.ak.facebook.com" for all websites for the past few hours. What is the problem? How to correct this?

I had the same problem.  I  restarted computer and deleted cookies. Didn't help. Then I checked for updates and installed the Java update.  This fixed the problem for me.

  • Safari can't verify website certificates: constant pop-ups

    Suddenly, every web page/url I try to navigate to gets me a drop-down warning that states "Safari can't verify ..." etc.  Often, these warning relate to websites or addresses unrelated to my attempt.  (E.G., I tried to get to my google calendar", but got a warning asking if I still wanted to connect to a youtube site.)  This just started happening and is now constant.  Any ideas?

  • MAC OS X 10.6.8 (safari can not verify website)

    Hi
    For past few days i am having problem when i try to visit any website it show a massage "safari can not identify the address of the website www..... then below he message is "The certficate of this website is invalid". this message is coming up on all the website
    thank you for your help

    Running the combo updater should fix this for you. It should update the certificate that is out of date that is at the root cause of the problem.
    You posted in the Snow Leopard forum so here is the link for Snow Leopard combo. Check under the Apple in the Menu bar > About this Mac to verify you are on 10.6
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    If you still see the error after running the combo updater, open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities.
    Under Keychain Access in the Menu bar select run Keychain First Aid (see FIX for: "Safari can't verify the identity of the website" - certificate not valid for more details on running Keychain First Aid to repair certificates)

    I have a powerbook g4 and wireless internet.
    I visit the website neopets allmost every day to chat on the message boareds there and i just started getting a little pop up saying Safari can't verify indetity of website, it gives you two opisons to cancel or conitune. i click cancel very time it pop ups which seems to be every time i refresh the page but once i clicked conitune and it brought me to a website which looked like it was capital one the bank but there was not the whole page, just a capital one header. But after i clicked conitune the pop up stoped. But i was scared i may have caused some one to hack me or something so i deletd my cookies and emptyed my cache and cleared the history. But the pop up is back. it only seems to be on neopets. so i'[m not sure what that means. if any one could help me that would be great. i have taken a screen shot of the message so you can see the whole thing.

    Hi,
    I still have apple care should i call them and see what they say? or take it in and looked at?
    I don't think there is anything wrong with your computer, so I don't think you have to worry about it, if it makes you feel better though do take it in.
    As I said in my first post this has occured to me when logging into hotmail,
    it happened on Safari & Firefox.
    Read through this, look at the spyware topic of the site. Spyware doe not infect a computer, it tracks.
    In Safari preferences ->Security tab, make sure you have Accept cookies: only from sites you navigate to.
    If i were you i would trash the cookies.plist file, & the cache folder
    Quit Safari,
    Home~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    Home~/Library/Caches/Safari cache folder
    Read hayne's reply regarding view.admt.com [cookie tracking] it is half way down the page.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Safari can't verify the identy of the website

    This message comes up every time I try to log open Safari - doesn't matter if I am going to a news site, my bank, gmail, facebook, etc.
    Basically everything I try to log into. It tells me the certificate is invalid, or the issuer is invalid. This has been going on for a while. I downloaded firefox to see if it was just a safari thing, and it did not have this problem. Can someone please tell me how to fix this with safari? Version 5.1.2
    I have reset Safari (all boxes checked) and same thing.  I even moved the com.apple.Safari.plist to my desktop and started over.
    Any ideas??????
    Thanks!

    Try this...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Deselect:  Warn when visiting a fraudulent website
    Deselect:  Ask before sending a non-secure form a secure services
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference.

  • Hi, I am having trouble with my Internet on my Macbook. Every time I try and go to a site it has a pop up block that says something along the lines of "Safari can't verify the identity of the website."

    Below that there is more, it says," The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be (Whatever the name of the site is) which could put your confidential info at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?" and it give the options of show certificate, cancel, and continue. But the thing i dont understand is that it does this for basically EVERY page i visit. even facebook. and when i click "continue" it alows me to go to the page but limits what i can do and only shows certain things. i'm very frusterated with it. Help Me!

    This issue was resolved! I didnt think about restoring my computer to factory settings but I did and now my computer works like brand new. basically, just back up your files and do the following:

  • Alternative to Safari - Can't edit website templates without IE.

    I have a few template websites that can't be edited using Safari. The error messages is the website is only accessible with Internet Explorer. Same with Firefox, error message. Any ideas what I can use to edit these sites?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    here's the error message.

  • Safari - Can't see website page address

  • Safari can't contact websites that load fine in Firefox... With a twist.

    Hi Tiger on an Ibook G4 patched/updated to the latest of everything except Itunes.
    I can't access a number of websites. It only happens at my office so I had assumed they blocked them (weird since it is a very random collection of them). Finally a coworker sent me a link and I casually said thats a blocked site and they looked at me funny. I then tried Firefox and it worked fine.
    All these sites work fine in Safari on the public wifi and my cellular internet stick.
    The exact error it shows, for example "Contacting www.apple.com" and just sits. Other times on sites that load part of a site from another site, the main page loads and say the comments section will never load.
    Itunes will no longer access the itunes store at work either I assume since it uses some component of Safari to get there.
    I have reinstalled Safari from the full apple download since the first was an update via the updater. Repaired permissions, cleared out the cache and cookies. Deleted a bunch of the plugins.
    I used the developer menu to disable Java, no help.
    One other detail that may matter, this started also about the same time they replaced a server that handles our DHCP leases at work. I'm not sure if it handles DNS too but it would be strange for Firefox to work and not Safari.
    Perplexed and annoyed by having to use Firefox and no Itunes downloading.

    We don't use any proxies servers.
    I tried pointing my ethernet DNS entries to the Open DNS nameservers and it has made no difference. Firefox still works and Safari won't.
    The network topology is a bit weird, our NAT Router used to hand out the IP leases a long time ago. That was replaced 2 or 3 years ago with the Windows Server. When the windows server is down the whole network loses internet access despite the NAT Router still having the DSL plugged into it so obviously all the internet traffic is being routed through the windows box somehow.

  • All of sudden Safari can't open servers.

    Safari which has so far worked well, now can't open links, I keep getting "Safari can't open server" messages.
    I haven't downloaded any Flash upgrades, the only upgrade I downloaded was the latest itunes.

    Reboot the computer.  If you have already rebooted the computer, use the network setup assistant to diagnose your network problems.

  • Can't verify certificate

    I've just changed email provider and I'm starting to get the mail can't verify certificate message every time I open up Mail. I remember I had this before but can't for the life of me remember what I did to finally resolve the issue! I've checked the "always trust" checkbox but the certificate message still appears. Please help!

    I'm having the same problem, and checking and unchecking the "Always trust..." box. I've even tried closing mail and reopening it. I've tried sending an email from the account to my gmail account, confirming the email has been received, and then closing and reopening Mail. Still I get the "Mail can't verify" message.
    I'm NOT using SSL for my mail. HOWEVER, since I have a hosting account, and since my email on that account is IMAP, and since there's special group of emails that I want to access on my cell and laptop too, I created another email address and am making sure that these particular emails are going there.
    That means that two email accounts are going to the same mailserver address - mail.[mydomainname].com. The MTP is the same for incoming and outgoing.
    I've repaired permissions. I've even attempted to throw away my plist, but that will be a nightmare of epic proportions, since getting rid of the plist means that all my accounts and mailboxes are gone and I'd have to recreate everything.
    This is a fairly new issue.
    Can anyone help Alan and me?
