Safari cannot connect to SSL sites

Safari suddenly started having trouble accessing any site with an SSL certificate, including Yahoo, MSN and Apple .Mac.
Seems like a core SSL engine problem because mail is also having trouble if I try to log in to gMail.
Not sure if it's a related problem, but I just noticed all kimds of crashes in Console related to MDS which is the Spotlight Meta Data Server. Spotlight is not working at all for me right now.
Firefox allows me to browse to these sites that I can't get to in Safari.
I called AppleCare and they had me Reset Safari... which clears all cookies, cache, etc., but that had no affect on the problem. Then I got hung up on. Will call them backl later today but looking for help on these boards.
It seemed like it could have started right after the recent time change, but I have no idea if that could have affected anything. I have it set to auto change the time.

Hi Scott,
Maybe this post by ozfever will help:

"Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site" after site update from SP1 to R2

Our dev SCCM environment only has a single primary site with a remote SQL database. Initially, the dev primary site had SP1 Beta (5.00.7782.1000) installed but as everyone is aware there is no upgrade path available to SP1 or R2 from Beta; so, we uninstalled
the site and removed the database, re-installed SP1 non-Beta (5.00.7804.1000), then proceeded to update all devices with the latest client agent. Afterwards, we attempted to upgrade the site from SP1 non-Beta (5.00.7804.1000) to R2 (5.00.7958.1000).
All seemed well until we attempt to open the Configuration Manager console and we get the following error message:
Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site (Site Name)
The Configuration Manager Administrator console could not connect to the Configuration Manager site database. Verify the version of the console is compatible with the version of the site server you are connecting to and then try to connect again.
So we tried reinstalling the console directly from here...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\AdminConsole.msi"
still the same error message persisted, so we tried installing it from here...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\ConsoleSetup.exe"
still the same error message persisted, so then we tried installing it directly from the R2 (5.00.7958.1000) installation media, and afterwards the same error message persisted....
All along, we were checking the AdminConsole log from here:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\AdminUILog\SmsAdminUI.log"
Here are the contents:
[4, PID:4836][04/22/2014 15:21:10] :Property: 'Features'\r\nSystem.Management.ManagementException\r\nNot found \r\n at System.Management.ManagementException.ThrowWithExtendedInfo(ManagementStatus errorCode)

connection)
at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.SmsSiteConnectionNode.GetConnectionManagerInstance(String connectionManagerInstance)\r\nNo details are available for this error.\r\n
Once again, we validated we could connect to the SQL database from this box, and that the console was at the same version as the site. Any help or guidance with getting our access to the console restored after the SP1 to R2 upgrade would be greatly
appreciated.

From the Primary Site Server, I tried uninstalling the Admin Console and re-installing using:
consolesetup.exe /q TargetDir="%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Configuration Manager" EnableSQM=0 DefaultSiteServerName=<SiteServerName>
Of course replacing <SiteServerName> with the FQDN of my Primary Site Server. Console installed successfully however the same error message persists.
Also tried installing the console on a clean Windows Server 2008 R2 installation. I tried it from the R2 (5.00.7958.1000) installation media, from the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\" both without any luck, the
same error message persists. I verified I could ping the FQDN of the site server also, and that the firewall between the two permits communication over the ports listed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Cannot Connect Usine SSL"

I got the above error when trying to add my gmail account with the new $20 upgrade mail app.
I have checked my settings in my gmail account and they have imap and pop enabled.
Has anyone else gotten this error? Any fixes?
Thanks

"Cannot Connect Using SSL" could also mean that it cannot do any SSL at all. Since I am expecting to use many open/public WLANs the use of SSL is really a must.
You could try creating a new Gmail account just for testing purposes. That should not interfere with any existing account or configuration. Otherwise, disable Gmail on the BB for a few hours and then try connecting again with the Touch. If the IMAP server is accessed from distinctly different IP address for the same account at the same time it may get confused (shouldn't, but you never know).

Safari Cannot Connect with Server (mountain lion) on wifi

I Posted this under Mountain Lion as Safari had no connectivity issues for me when I got my mbp and it had lion installed and ran beautifully-
NOW my apple (s) run fine on mountain lion
for a little bit,
and then I get "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
Now during this frequent occurance the APP store hangs and hangs as well.
This is most annoying-
The only way to use my apple products after this happens is to restart them
and then they work until they go into sleep mode,
sometimes they screw up before that and then
"Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
my Airport utility shows that it is scanning for networks-
When I was right in the middle of buying something from amazon-- I had to go to my decrepit old windows xp connected up only for cox email to complete the transaction-
This is not acceptable. Since it occurs on both of my apple computers and only started when I installed mountain lion.
This has continually gotten worse to the point I must restart my laptop continually-
Apple better get the lead out of their butts and fix this glaring fault- or should I install another web browser?
which I am disinclined to do-
I spent a fortune on these apple products and I expect them to work properly- I went to apple because I was so sick of microsoft and its endless headaches and updates and freezes lol--
kind of funny if you think about it.

Hi BSU1960,
I found the solution to my problem on a different forum. Turns out for some reason the anti-virus software that I run was interferring with my browsers' connecting to the internet. Once I disabled the web protion of the anti-virus my problem went away.
I have a question to Kaspersky Security, hopefully will find out what was the root cause.

Have you Googled for: setup XXX email on iPhone

You can try going to Mail>the accounts>Advanced and turn Use SSL on or off, the opposite of what it is now.

how do i set up email on my iphone??? it says "cannot connect using ssl" whats this mean, i cant recieve or send emails coz of this

Try just choosing yes when it says that. And yes if you get it a second time. Lots of mail providers don't use SSL.

New gmail account on iPhone cannot connect using SSL

HT201320 having problems setting up email for a tiscali email address - after trying to verify ipda comes up saying cannot connect using SSL

trying to set up my tiscali email address on an ipad mini, after trying to verify, message comes up stating "cannot connect using SSL"

Not sure what the shortcut is. I'm just going, Settings > Mail > Add Account > Gmail
That is the GMail shortcut. That should work. Just for testing, use the "Other" shortcut.
Settings / Mail / Add Account / Other
Name: <put your name>
Email [email protected]
Incoming server: pop.gmail.com
Login: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Login: [email protected]
Password: yourpassword
Hit SAVE.
It should set itself up correctly without you having to specify anything else. Try that.

Software Update Cannot connect and Safari cannot connect to URLs

I have copied this problem report from the Safari forum in the hope that I may get some additional help here.
This morning I went to the local library and connected to the internet directly using airport to their WAN. So I now know my problem is independent of the weird dial up arrangement I have at home.
Safari still does not open the sites. It gives a message "Cannot open page "x" because it cannot connect to server "X""
When I open Firefox all my sites are working normally. (I also downloaded and installed Firefox 3 this morning)
I have reset Safari but that does not help.
I have even downloaded the latest greatest version of safari (the beta 4) but it exhibits the same problems
When I invoke Software Update it claims I am not connected to the internet. Does this depend on Safari? Is there a preference I can change to make it work through Firefox
When I invoke internet connect diagnostics it says my internet connection is working normally.

Hi Steve,
Great clues there!
FF uses it's own Proxy & DNS settings for a couple of things, where Safari & other Apple Apps use System Preferences.
First, Go to System Preferences>Network, Show Airport>Proxies tab, make sure no Proxies are set.
Second, Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Airport Interface...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

HELP: Safari cannot connect to Google & Yahoo only

not sure what i did recently but start from two days ago i cannot access only google and yahoo and all related sites. the rest of the sites are fine.
I tried installing firefox and it is experiencing the same problem. However if I access using my ipad safari then everything is fine. using openDNS also does not fix the problem.
help please?

Hi,
For Safari... from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Yahoo and Google "only google and yahoo and all related sites" Cookies.
And from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache...
Relaunch Safari. Try accessing those sites.
if I access using my ipad safari then everything is fine
That rules out your internet connection.
If that didn't help, Quit Safari. Open the Keychain Access application (Applications / Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the Yahoo and Google keychains.
Relaunch Safari. Navigate to either Yahoo or Google. Login with your user name and password. Click Yes when prompted.
If you still have problems accessing those sites, delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain. Relaunch Safari and try again.

Safari cannot connect to the App Store so I can setup an RSS Reader.

Let me be clear about a key point first - I can connect to the iTunes Store in the program, I can connect to the App Store in the program, and Safari has no problem acting as a browser.
BUT, I want to use RSS feeds and this is where things fall down.
If the Podcasts app is installed then all XML links to RSS feeds default to being opened in the Podcasts app, and I wouldn't mind this if the Podcasts app could actually display RSS feeds, but it can't. No problem, I'll just remove the Podcasts app.
Now when I click on a link to an RSS feed, Safari gives me the following error,
Cannot Open Page
This is a link to an RSS feed. Would you like to search the App Store for apps that can display RSS feeds?
And my options are Cancel or Search.
I click Search, because when I find an RSS feed on a page I want to subscribe to I don't want to have that error again.
The App Store opens and I almost immediately get the error,
Cannot connect to iTunes Store
However, once I click the OK option, the App Store works fine. I can connect to the App Store.
So, I pick an RSS app anyway to install it. It downloads fine, and I go on browsing in Safari. I find another link to an RSS feed, and this pops up again,
Cannot Open Page
This is a link to an RSS feed. Would you like to search the App Store for apps that can display RSS feeds?
Excuse me? I've already installed an RSS app... and by now I've installed 5 different apps in the hopes that at least 1 of them will do what Podcasts obnoxiously did before and claim the default app status for XML links.
So, Safari works as a browser, the iTunes Store App works, and the App Store app works, but if Safari opens the App Store then I get an error. If I could somehow set which applications opened what links and document types then this wouldn't be a problem either because I could just manually set what I wanted, but I can't.

What the heck? Why was RSS ripped from Safari with nary a word, leaving in its place the pathetic Reading List function? Bookmarks are for reading later, RSS is for push to me updates, Reading List is just plain pointless and a waste of code. And why can't I set what programs I want to open what file types? /rant
I've already tried the Change Date trick, the Reset All Settings trick, the Turn Off Genius trick, and every other trick I could find where ever the phrase, "Cannot connect to itunes store" popped up in these forums and on the web, and none of them work - I suspect that this is because the App Store does work fine normally for me.
All I want is for Safari or an RSS program to open an RSS feed when I click on the link while browsing the web. Why is this so darn hard?
