Safari doesn't open URLs

Hello guys,
I have Safari 5.0.6. and it sometimes fails to open pages, websites, whatever URL I enter, except Google.
Google is my default browser, so when I launch Safari, Google site opens. But then it does not open anything after that.
When I reset it, it works fine for while, then it starts to fail open pages again.
Any idea what it might be and how to fix it?
Thank you fo r any advise.

Can you open this?

The other file is actually a PDF, not a URL.

  • Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

    Safari doesn't open after i updated it to 1.6.8

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.2
    Then restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, you may have a third party add on that was compatible with the prior version of Snow Leopard, but not 10.6.8.

    And try Safari in another user account. If you can't open Safari there as well, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
    Log back in to your admin account, launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)

  • Safari doesn't open Pop-up & Script Windows?!

    Can anyone help please?

    With Safari open, from the Menu Bar click Safari. Where says; Block Pop Up windows, Deselect that.
    Keep in mind pop up windows can contain malicious code.

  • I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
    If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

  • Safari doesn't open on my Ibook G4

    Hi Chuck,
    As suggested above, what does Grab do when you try to open it?
    If the Grab icon appears in the Dock then it "is" open. Grab is a funny little utility in that there is no "window" that opens when you open Grab. The top menu bar though, will change to the Grab menus. In these menus you can go to the Capture menu for what you are trying to do.
    On the other hand, if you are saying that the application just bounces in the Dock or does nothing or opens to immediately quit, this is another kettle of fish?
    Perhaps if you can post back with what actually happens when you try to open Grab we can try to get to the bottom of it.

  • Safari doesn't open in start page

    Hi everybody,
    since I have installed Mac OS X Lion, Safari doesn't open in start page. It opens always at the last page I was at least. What can I do?

    Try this:
    Open ‘System Preferences’
    Locate and open the ‘General’ menu
    Near the bottom uncheck the box that says “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

    3. "Homepage" = <your chosen webpage>

    Hello John...
    You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • Safari doesn't open his own .URL files

    Hello
    I've adopted Safari for Windows at work due to the good experience I had with Safai on my Mac at home, but I almost immediately I found a serious bug:
    Safari for Windows creates ".URL" files perfectly like IE7, by dragging the icon on the left of the address into a folder (or the desktop). Everything' fine here. I use this functionality a lot!
    I just opened the .URL file and looks nice. Here's an example:
    \[InternetShortcut\]
    URL=http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1188
    The PROBLEM is that when I double click the ".URL" file Safari for Windows just created, Safari NEVER opens, instead opening IE7 !
    There must be a registry fix for this, because if I drag the icon into an opened Safari, it opens the link perfectly.
    Please tell me what I must change on the Windows Registry to fix this.
    Thank you in advance for your support, and keep up the good work!

    Replying to my own problem, I think I finally fixed it... by accident!
    After a lot of juggling with Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs->Set predefined browser, I finally managed to get IE7 out of the way, but only after deactivating access to Internet Explorer, and a lot of random checks and reboots along the way.
    I have no idea why Safari for Windows can't make himself the default browser on URL opening, but I believe you are missing some settings somewhere in the Windows Registry.
    Happy bug hunting!

  • Safari doesn't open new domain name .direct without www

    When I try to open a domain like "mydomain.direct" Safari opens google search, but if I try to open "www.mydomain.direct" the website opens ok. Safari also doesn't open 3rd domains like "something.mydomain.direct" and sends me to google search.

    Hi ..
    Safari doesn't recognize:   mydomanin.direct   as a URL. That's why it's triggering a Google search.
    That's why www. works.

  • Full screen Safari doesn't open new windows

    Hi,
    In my Safari preferences I have "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" set to "Never".
    When Safari has at least one window that is not in full screen mode, then links from other applications seem to open new windows perfectly fine.
    However, when all Safari windows that are open are in full screen mode, then links keep opening in tabs in on of those windows.
    How can I make Safari to just open a new window all the time, even when I only have full screen windows open?
