Safari connection problems

My Safari will not load webpages. It just sits there with a small bit of blue in the URL bar
It is not an internet problem as Firefox works fine from this MacBook Pro.
I have reset safari and cleared the cache..still no joy.
Any help?

What happens when you try to load pages? Do they load in other web browsers? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes or the App Store? Other devices on the same network?

Safari, AppStore, iTunes SSL Connection Problems

I am using a mid 2011 iMac with Mavericks 10.9.5 installed.
Safari Version 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1)
AppStore Version 1.3 (201.7)
iTunes Version 11.4
I noticed today the following problem. From Safari I was not able to browse to www.google.com. After some time Safari says that he cannot init a secure connection to the server. This is also the case for www.apple.com. Then I tried FireFox but everything works fine there. Also when I want to start the AppStore App then it requires quite some time to load. If I click on the tab to see my purchases then nothing happens at first sight but then after some time this site looks quite strange. Almost like it did not ways able to load the full content. For iTunes nothing happens if I want to go to the iTunes Store.
In the logs for iTunes there are many entries of the form:
iTunes[604]: Failed to create replacement string
When Safari has problems there occurs this enty in the log:
com.apple.WebKit.WebContent[545]: CFNetwork SSLHandshake failed (-9806)
com.apple.WebKit.WebContent[545]: NSURLConnection/CFURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9806)
I tried a PRAM reset. Also in the recovery mode Safari I am not able to open these websites. I tried to delete the caches of ocspd and crl in /var/db/crls. Also I tried to delete the caches in Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and com.apple.storeagent.
Anybody has an idea?

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
          Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
Open the View menu in the menu bar. If one of the items in the menu is
          Show Expired Certificates
select it. Otherwise it will show
          Hide Expired Certificates
which is what you want.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu labeled
          Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
select
          no value specified
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings.
Now open the same inspection window again, and select
          When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Save the change in the same way as before.
Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
          Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
Step 7
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in 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 icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
If that's not what you see, post the contents of the window.

Itunes & safari & help -connection problem

My Macbook is not allowing me to connect to the Internet using Safari, but firefox is working normally. So is my Mail.
ALSO when I try to connect to Itunes Store it says there is a connection problem and it times out.
AND when I try to look up issues in Help it doesn't go to the page. Just stays on the front pages.
Do I have some sort of connection problem ????

What you will want to do, is go to the Quicktime Page
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
And download the update of Quicktime.
You have 7.0 of QT downloaded, and iTunes7 needs 7.1.3 of QT on your computer.
Download that and you'll be fine.
That download includes iTunes as well. It should work.
Good luck,
Jordan

My computer is running very slow, how can I tell if it is a internet connection problem or my computer?

I have a mac 10.5.8 and it has been very slow lately. I often get the rainbow wheel when using it and recently I have had to restart the computer alot because it seems to freeze. The only other open program besides Safari is the finder which i cant seems to ever shut off. I'm not sure if this is an interent connection problem or if my mac needs servicing.

Please begin using 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac you will almost certainly find the cause there. The first place I'd look though is how much RAM your system has, if you never upgraded it that could be the problem. Macs ship with a minimum amount of RAM so it's possible a simple RAM upgrade would help. Use the article though and methodically go through the suggestions.

Interne connection problem with Macbook

I have a new 13 inch white macbook . It keeps on disconnecting with the internet . My PC laptops dont have this problem . I am using AT&T Gateway wireless modem . The macbook would show no connection and then after the diagnostics are run and the browser is closed and re-opened it connects with the internet, it is annoying . I am using safari and firefox both . The problem is more with online banks and online apparel stores not with yahoo or google.Seems the browsers are not compatible with these websites.
Please help.
Thanks

Yes, there are a few sites that are not 100% compatible with Safari OR Firefox, and work ONLY with Internet Explorer. Do the help files or instructions for your troublesome bank or merchant website(s) specify what browser(s) version(s) and operating systems they support?
Airport (wireless internet connection) problems to your network and/or wireless router are different, and 99.9% of the time, not related to browser compatibility issues.
Unpredictably connecting or disconnecting from a wireless router is a wireless networking problem, not a browser compatibility issue.
*Wireless troubleshooting:*
Can you also connect to your Mac directly to your AT&T wireless router with an Ethernet cable?
That will help you diagnose what are connectivity/network issues, versus what are browser compatibility issues. If your browser(s) work fine with the troublesome sites when directly connected by wire, then you're NOT having browser compatibility issues. Macs are picky about wireless connections. My original inexpensive 'b/g' wireless router worked fine with my older Windows XP computer and Nintendo Wii, but my MacBook kept dropping the signal every 10 minutes or so. I upgraded to a famous brand 'n' wireless router, and my problems disappeared.
*Browser Compatibility Troubleshooting*
Indications of browser incompatibility are:
Fonts that don't display correctly, such as overlapping or missing letters or words.
Wrong colors or colors that obscure some parts of the screen.
Text that displays line by line at the left margin, over colored backgrounds, instead of as a web page.
Screen display design elements are wrong, such as a color box that seems too large or small for the text displayed on it.
Some or all of the 'button' elements of the website do not respond to pointing the cursor and clicking, even after refreshing the screen, and the only solution is to closing the browser.
Look carefully at the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser so see if it displays an Errors count. (Then choose Window, Activity, to see what errors are occurring.)
If you MUST have 100% Internet Explorer compatibility on your Mac, you can always purchase Windows and IE and install it under Bootcamp, Parallels, VMWare Fusion or similar programs.
Let me know what you discover.

Airport internet connection problems in OS X but not in XP or iBook

I have an iBook and an iMac, and the iMac has Leopard and XP on it. When in Leopard, most of the time, the internet connection is extremely slow and can never load a full page in Safari, always quitting halfway or the connection drops completely.
When I go into XP, the internet connection is perfectly fine and there are no speed issues and the connection is never dropped.
When I use my iBook, there is also no connection problems.
The crappy internet connection also affects Mail in such a way that I cannot quit Mail or Shut Down (until I force quit Mail).
I called apple the last time this happened and their solution fixed it, but the problem is back again.
Does anyone know how to fix this, or does anyone know if there is something wrong with my Airport?
(Its an aluminum iMac, 2.4 GHz running 10.5.7, and not using the Beta Safari)

Hello, I don't think I can help, I do have 10.7.3 & W7 Ultimate, but I run W7 in Parallels...
http://www.parallels.com/
And it uses Shared Networking of OSX.

Pop-up window "Experiencing Connection Problems!"

The last week or so I have had this window (below) popping up on the top right of my screen. There seems to be no logic to when it appears - it goes away on it's own.
Safari is in the forground. "Block Pop-up Windows" is enabled in preferences.
I don't have connection problems.
Safari v6.0 - OSX 10.7.4

Macbook Pro Wireless Connection Problems

I bought my 13 inch macbook pro 1 week ago and I've had wireless connection problems from day 2 (I think after the updates).
Problems include:
- Safari cannot connect to the internet for 5~10 minutes after I turn it on, whether it be from sleep mode or completely off or restart (the fastest connection I got after turning it on was about 40 seconds)
- Loading takes ridiculously long and eventually Safari cannot find the server
- Airport signal (on the top right hand corner) is always full when it is not working
- Sometimes internet works but it is ridiculously slow
However, when the wireless connection stabilizes, Airport Signal is 2~3 bars full and internet works SOOO well and I love it so much when it does. But the problem is that it stabilizes like 30 minutes to never after I turn it on and it makes me so mad I want to explode this piece of crap in the microwave.
So I've called apple support, and they made me try four things:
1. Reset modem, router, and computer
2. Delete caches, reset Safari
3. Putting Airport first on the Service Order and resetting DHCP Lease
4. Connecting with Ethernet Cable then resetting the computer
None of these worked, and I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem is the hardware (not the aluminum body that's just bs) because my router and modem are working fine (my other samsung laptop is working perfectly). I don't think the problem lies in my network settings either because I did exactly what the Apple technicians told me to do. So after Appleguy made me try all 4 of those diagnostics, he told me to contact my router company NETGEAR because he thinks nothing is wrong with the mac hardware, so I did. The NETGEAR lady told me if one laptop is working and another isn't, there is nothing wrong with the router. So if nothing is wrong with my hardware, software, router, modem, ISP... Why do I have wireless issues????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'm going to return this <edited by host> or get another one with my warranty

Same thing here.
I've got a Macbook Pro 15" bought 6 weeks ago, airport express bought about a year ago. All updated with latest software/firmware, etc. Problems include:
-Sometimes when i pull down the network list, my network isn't even there, yet i'm still connected to it. My airport is appx 10 feet away in an open area.
-usually after opening safari or firefox for the first time upon sleep, restart, or just opening the program after i had quit it, it is miserably slow. it takes about 2 minutes for pages like msn.com to load. finally when they do, its faster than you can imagine. that lasts for about a minute. then its slow again.
-when logged into ichat and i send messages, i would sometimes get a "connection timeout" message. my buddy would end up getting the message about 5 minutes later.
My iphone and dell laptop work fine. i haven't tried running parallels, but if bootcamp works, so should prlls.
I've reset the modem about 20 times. i've reset the airport about 20 times. i even re-installed my OS on the mac and nothing has done it.
Weird thing is that i've had my mac for 6 weeks, and this problem surfaced only 3 days ago.
Clearly its not an issue of any of our ISP's. Due to the fact that this only started for me 3 dyas ago, i'm hopeful that its only a software problem and not something else. Hopefully apple will a) ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE and b) FIX IT.

Having connection problems with Mail after installing 10.9.4

I upgraded to 10.9.4 a few days ago, and ever since, I've been having connection problems with Mail. First, it stops downloading new mail automatically and second, it won't send any of my messages. When I try to send, I get a message that it is unable to connect.
Quitting Mail and restarting it seems to clear the problem, but then it happens again, maybe an hour or two later.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in 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 icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems).
Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
This week things have become considerably worse.
I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple.
I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
That's all for starters.
Any suggestions?
Solved!

I have a similar problem, since BT "upgraded my broardband" my home hub looses internet connection at least twice a day and I have to power reset it. the broadband shows as connected but the internet connection is lost, if I try reconnecting it fails and only a power resetr will work. I have a temp solution by fitting a time switch to the mains adaptor and reseting it at 0200 each day. but before the upgrade the home hub had worked for years and no problems. i have also replaced the origonal home hub 1 with a home hub 2 to see if that improves the situation.
welcome to the forum
This subject has been marked as solved by the originator and you will get more response if you start your own subject rather than continue here.
if you start your own subject just cut and paste your post and then in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an Internet connectivity problem.

This error message comes up both using Firefox and Chrome when using G mail. Also if it works at all,
switching from compose to draft just takes very long or keeps working.
No problem with G mail using Internet Explorer or Safari.

you can learn a VERY valuable lesson from this question... NEVER publish your email address in public forums of any kind - FaceBook, Google+, chats, etc. - these places are low hanging fruit for nefarious characters - ÇÇÇ

Safari/DSL Problem

Safari/DSL Problem
I’m having a problem with my home DSL network when I hookup a 5.8 GHz digital cordless phone/answering system. Safari will not pull up my home page when I plug in the answering system my SBC DSL network stops functioning. My Mac network consists of an E-Mac running OS 10.3.9 hard wired thru Ethernet cable to an Asante FR1004 Internet router. Also connected to the Asante Router is the Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The Asante Router is hooked up to the SBC to Speedstream 5100 Ethernet ADSL Modem, which is hard wired to the phone line. I have 3 phones hooked to the phone line each phone has a DSL Filter model Z-330P2J. Any would be appreciated.

Hi ccrushe, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
1] The answering system must have a DSL Filter on it.
2] Move the answering system to a different room, ie, away from the computer.
Try BBR, Broadband Reports / SBC general Forum, or ATM = All Things Mac.
Good Luck. JP
