Safari "error" specfic to ONE web page! Please help...

I have a new iMAC desktop and about a week ago I started getting this error message when I tried to access one of my favorite web sites. The error message says something like, "the string is too long...." and basically it keeps giving me that same message when I try any of the sites on this web page.
I have removed the cookie (the first part of the string) and it might let me in just once, then when I switch to another post (I read forums) it immediately sends the same error message, with yet another string...like the strings are pages and pages of letters and numbers. (Sorry I'm not a computer geek and I don't know the proper name of the string).
I downloaded Firefox and it works perfectly! BUT...I really like Safari and I just paid a good amount for this beautiful computer...and now my favorite web site won't work.
Can anyone help me please?? I'm on my office Dell right now so I can't give you the exact error message...
I appreciate anything anyone can do.
Susan

You know I really don't clear my cache and history (or cookies) very often at all. I've been using a Dell PC for many years now and because I'm retiring soon I wanted something safer and more user friendly (I am not really into the inner workings of a computer) for me to use. So I bought a brand new iMAC (I used a MAC years ago and loved it) for my personal use at home. I can't tell you how happy I am now that I am back to a MAC!!! But, as you can tell I'm really not up to speed on what I should be doing yet (especially with the new browser Safari).
Anyway I'll have to look at the tutorial and hopefully this eariler problem won't come back. I certainly hope so! Right now I have a lot of help here at work, but I'll be on my own in a few months. Gulp!
Thanks for you help,
Susan

Ralph..........Did as you suggested and I am still getting the message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I am not able to connect with anything on the Internet. Frustrating since I am able to connect with my laptop. Thanks for the suggestion.

Safari extremely slow opening one web page, Firefox not.

Safari takes 25 seconds to open (http://www.caarc.ca/news.php) or from the same site, (http://www.caarc.ca/e107plugins/forum/forumviewforum.php?2 ) , while Firefox takes less than a second.
I have implemented the following from forum discussions;
- Installed the open DNS Servers
-Reset the top 5 buttons for Safari reset
-tried changing from 64 to 32 bit
-Rosetta is not installed
- checked the ~library... etc for plugins, there are none.
It is probably something form this site or similar sites but there must be a fix
Thanks for any help

Both sites opened nearly instantaneously for me. However I have constant problems with websites like eBay and others. The open DNS server thing doesn't work. It's a Microsoft-like workaround that I think is bogus and is a strawman by certain individuals that inhabit this board to make it seem like Apple does no wrong. Safari has its issues, one of which is this random issue with opening websites.

Downloaded update on ipod on wifi 0.6 could not sync with computer as it did not recognise my ipod on itunes but could not download 0.6 off itunes it doesnt seem to be on itunes suggested web page, please help

downloaded itunes 0.6 on my ipod over wifi, however when connected to my computer it would not recognise my ipod and suggested i went to www.itunes .com/uk but could not find or download 6, so now cannot sync my ipod with itunes on my computer, please help cheers.

By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store.

Safari error 302 while opening web page after 2.0.1

Safari cannot open the page
“Operation could not be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302.)”
Mmmmm????/////...
anyone

oh yeah, it kicks you out when you use it too much too.

Haveing problems with Safari. It gives me an error message. Safari can't open the web page, because it can't establish a secure connection to the server. It only seams to have a problem on https sites. Any help would be apreciated.

Safari keeps giving and error message. " Safari can't open the web page( insert web page here) , because it can't establish a secure connetion to the server.
It only seams to have a problem with https sites.
Any help would be appreciated

The "s" in "https" indicates the site is a secure server--usually a site that will require a password. Connections to secure servers can be blocked by parental controls. Are you using any parental controls, either through OSX's settings (in System Preferences) or third party parental control software (such as Netnanny)? If so, check the settings to make sure they will allow the connection.

I updated my mac book pro to mountain lion recently and my safari is not loading few web pages including apple sites please help me

i updated my mac book pro to mountain lion recently and my safari is not loading few web pages including apple sites please help me

I have this problem too but it seems pot luck and only like 5% of the time, the website will say the page is loaded but the page is just blank white...refreshing does not work and I have to go back and navigate to the page again

How do I have more than one web page on at a time?

I can only watch or use one web page at a time. I f I try to get on something else it will knock me out of what I was doing on the other page.

reboot in safemode and repeat the same behavior you did previously. If it works then it's likely an addon issue or extension causing your problem.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Best Practices Question: How to send error message to SSHR web page.

Best Practices Question: How to send error message to SSHR web page from custom PL\SQL procedure called by SSHR workflow.
For the Manager Self-Service application we’ve copied various workflows which were modified to meet business needs. Part of this exercise was creating custom PL\SQL Package Procedures that would gather details on the WF using them on custom notification sent by the WF.
What I’m looking for is if/when the PL\SQL procedure errors, how does one send an failure message back and display it on the SS Page?
Writing information into a log or table at the database level works for trouble-shooting, but we’re looking for something that will provide the end-user with an intelligent message that the workflow has failed.
Thanks ahead of time for your responses.
Rich

We have implemented the same kind of requirement long back.
We have defined our PL/SQL procedures with two OUT parameters
1) Result Type (S:Success, E:Error)
2) Result Message
In the PL/SQL procedure we always use below construct when we want to raise any message
hr_utility.set_message(APPL_NO, 'FND_MESSAGE_NAME');
hr_utility.raise_error;
In Exception block we write below( in successful case we just set the p_result_flag := 'S';)
EXCEPTION
WHEN APP_EXCEPTION.APPLICATION_EXCEPTION THEN
p_result_flag := 'E';
p_result_message := hr_utility.get_message;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
p_result_flag := 'E';
p_result_message := hr_utility.get_message;
fnd_message.set_name('PER','FFU10_GENERAL_ORACLE_ERROR');
fnd_message.set_token('2',substr(sqlerrm,1,200));
fnd_msg_pub.add;
p_result_message := fnd_msg_pub.get_detail;
After executing the PL/SQL in java
We have written some thing similar to
orclStmt.execute();
OAExceptionUtils.checkErrors (txn);
String resultFlag = orclStmt.getString(provide the resultflag bind no);
if ("E".equalsIgnoreCase(resultFlag)){
String resultMessage = orclStmt.getString(provide the resultMessage bind no);
orclStmt.close();
throw new OAException(resultMessage, OAException.ERROR);
It safely shows the message to the user with all the data in the page.
We have been using this construct for a long time for all our projects. They are all working as expected.

Peddi.

Safari update to 5.1.5, on snow leopard, now safari won't open any web page.

Just installed Safari update to 5.1.5 and now Safari won't load any web page. Running snow leopard on an iMac. How do I fix, or revert to previous version of Safari that did work, keeping in mind, can't access internet on that computer since Safari won't load a web page (Firefox, Chrome, Opera have never worked on that computer, although Firefox worked fine until I upgraded OS to snow leopard).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Each time I open Safari it opens the last web page I was at rather than my home page. How do I stop this from happening?

Each time I open Safari it opens the last web page I was at rather than my home page. How do I stop this from happening?

This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked:

HAVE ONE WEB PAGE OPEN AND SUDDENLY ANOTHER WEB PAGE OPENS

I can have one web page open and suddenly another web page will pop up. Why? It doesn't happen all the time. Like I said suddenly.

Another thing you can try doing is scanning for Malware:
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]
Download and Run TDSSKiller [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363]
Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials] (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)
Double check for all Windows Updates.
What is the website that opens up? Is it always the same, always different, one of a few, etc?
