Safari extensions won't load, why?

I had a number of extensions - now they are gone (in that they don't load and are not listed in the preferences list of extensions, though they are still in the library). Downloading and then reinstalling is not working - safari reports that they can't be installed. Suggestions?

Actually I solved the problem -- I had forgot to "leave" a proxy setting (I use to get to my professional work network when offsite) for the normal setting for my location... once I moved to the proper internet setting, and restarted, I was able to reinstall my safari extension and all's back to normal.

Twitter, 1-Click Weather Safari extensions won't load

I'm running Safari 6.0 on both an iMac and a MacBook Pro running 10.8.1 (Mountain Lion). The Twitter and 1-Click Weather Safari extensions won't work properly on either. For the Twitter extension, it just says "Trending..." and the rest of the bar is blank—no info about what is trending on Twitter ever appears. And the 1-Click Weather box on the navbar just contains a gray square. Any idea how to get these extensions working correctly? Thanks!

Uninstall both extensions then reinstall new.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions
There may be a software update included in a new install that's Mountain Lion compatible.

When I start safari it won't load the screen.

When I go to start safari it won't load. The address bar lights up about a 1\3rd of the way and then just sits there. If I restart my computer it will work for a time but eventually refers back to the same behavior. I have tried reseting safari, I have tried to empty cache without success. Please help

Hi..
Try here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
One of the suggestions at that link is to try OpenDNS. It's very easy to setup.
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.
Try Safari.
If that didn't help, all you have to do is go back to the DNS tab and delete the addresses.
If nothing above helped, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab. Deselect: Enable plug-ins
Quit thren relaunch Safari. If that helped, you need to troubleshoot third party add ons > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Safari pages won't load since Mavericks upgrade

Installed Mavericks a few days ago on my iMac and some really annoying bugs have been introduced to Mail (7.3) and Safari (7.0.6). I can't automatically add multiple addresses to emails anymore using the space bar; I have to manually type out certain addresses, add commas, etc. Certain webpages, including youtube and google, won't load on Safari. Chat support had me repair permissions with disk utility, clear cookies and reset safari, but none worked. It was also suggested that I do an SMC reset, a PRAM reset, and a safe reboot. I haven't done any of these, basically because I'm nervous about introducing any more wonkiness that I can't undo. I've been reading about similar problems with Mavericks for months now (I only upgraded because I needed it for Final Cut) , but I never see any solutions. Can anyone help me??? Thanks.

Go step by step and test.
1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.
     Start up in Safe Mode

I have tried reset safari, open in 32 bit mode, but nothing works.

Any idea how to fix this.

Safari - Pages won't load

Hi. I hope someone can help me
There are two websites that my sister visits frequently on my eMac. She has never had problems before and now the pages won't load. We've tried other sites and aren't having any problems. I've also emptied the cache and reset Safari and it still won't work. We thought that there were problems with the website, but a friend loaded both pages just fine on a different machine.
Can anyone help?

Have you tried using masking Safari as another browser to see if the pages the machine is visiting have been instructed not to show content if the browser is not one expected?
If you go to the Debug menu and select user agent, you can disguise Safari as another borwser. Also, from the Debug menu, you can use the Open page with menu to select the alternative browser you would like to use to open the pages.
Alternatively, you might contact the owners of the site(s). Also, you might go to the Safari menu and Report Bugs to Apple.

Sub-par Safari (Pages won't load, 404 errors, and paritally loaded pages)

Hey,
I just upgraded to OS X 10.4.5 (from 10.2.8) and it's a wonderful change of pace! I can't believe I waited this long! I have only one complaint...Safari is TERRIBLE. I have found that when it browses it only partially loads pages, never loads images, all adds "cannot be found - 404 error code (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and then sometimes the desired pages have different apperances, or won't load at all (again a 404 error code). On a few occasions it has even opened the same page repetedly! I go to apple.com, and it loads. Then I go to zdnet.com, and it loads apple.com (though it displays Zdnet on the title bar and the web address!)
Can anyone help me out here. I'd love to us the RSS feeds...but with all these bugs I can't even get through a session of use without becoming completely frustrated.
Thanks!

Safari 6 Won't Load Certain Web Pages

I have installed Mountain Lion on two machines. One is working great. But, on the other, there are certain web pages that won't load in Safari 6.

I've reset Safari and cleaned up cache using OnyX. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

I'm thinking it may be a DNS issue. I cleared my DNS cache using OnyX and my problem went away. OnyX is a free utility and is very useful. You can get it here:

Ever since I did that, I haven't had any other issues. Good luck!

Safari & Firefox: Won't load pages with images

Everything was working fine one night, and then the next, I couldn't load any pages with graphics. The one caveat: Google loads without a problem, even a Google image search. Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs. Thoughts?
I've seen similar posts, but none of them really apply, and the only one that did, didn't have an answer.

Every other site, including Apple.com, either won't load at all, or will begin to load until it encounters and image, and then hangs.
You're saying that, in addition to images not loading, pages are loading slowly or not at all, as well?
If this is the case, then the problem isn't isolated to images. It sounds more like a problem accessing web pages altogether.
As a troubleshooting measure, try setting fixed DNS addresses, either in your router's configuration or in System Preferences -> Network. For the latter, click on the network connection that you use, e.g. "Airport" or "Ethernet," then click on the Configure button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and enter a pair of fixed DNS addresses in the section with that label, as follows:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
You can copy and paste those directly from this forum into that DNS address field.
(Those are OpenDNS addresses, available for use by anyone. DNS addresses are the addresses of servers that tell your web browser where to look when you type a web page address in your web browser.)
If that doesn't work, the problem lies somewhere else. But your symptoms (slow or no page loads; and even when pages load, images not loading) sound a lot like the DNS problems I had before I started using alternate DNS addresses.

Kuler extension won't load in CC trial version

Invalid signature when trying to install Photoshop CC extension using the Adobe Extension Manager CC and default installed Photoshop CC extensions won't load

I have a Creative Cloud subscription for Photoshop CC. All Creative Clouds products are updated to the latest versions. When I tried to install Tony Kuyper's TKActionv3 Photoshop extension using the Adobe Extension Manager CC on my PC desktop, I received an error message that the extension contained an invalid signature and wouldn't be installed. I had previously installed the extension on my laptop without any problems. At the same time, I also noticed the default installed Photoshop CC extensions (e.g., Adobe Exchange, Kuler, Mini Bridge, Behance) could not be loaded using the Windows/Extension command. I receive an error message that the command could not be completed because the extension could not be loaded. After contacting Tony Kuyper, he suggested that I try the steps mentioned in the following weblink: https://forums.adobe.com/message/6029768. The steps basically consist of uninstalling and reinstalling all the Creative Cloud apps associated with Photoshop CC. I tried the steps multiple times, but I am still having the same problems. I can find the default installed Photoshop CC extensions on my machine, so I don't know why they can't be loaded.
Thanks for your assistance,
Mark Curtis

Hi Mark
You say everything is up to date? And you have tried reinstalling all the CC apps? Is Windows also fully up to date? Hmmm... That could be tricky.
What version of Windows are you using? Have a look in Task Manager > Processes and see if 'CEPServiceManager.exe *32' is listed as running?
If not, I don't know where it would be installed from, and we'd need someone like Chris Cox to join the thread to tell us, but my guess is that it would install along with the CC Desktop Application Manager. Windows 8.1 can be problematic, and a bit fussy about the order of things, and it is definitely worth adopting best practice when installing your CC apps. That means restarting your computer, and right clicking the Desktop Application manager and running as Administrator.
How many CC apps are you running? If just Photoshop, Bridge, Expansion manager etc. then - and I hate to say this - perhaps have another go at reinstalling, but run the Cleaning tool after uninstalling.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Try some other Extensions before the Tony Kuyper's TKActionv3. GuideGuide is a favourite of mine, as well as Dmonzon tools, and maybe Russell Brown's Flypaper Textures.
I have to say that I have had problems with the CC Extension Manager a while back, but simply reinstalling just the Extension Manager fixed it. Perhaps CEPServiceManager.exe *32 installs with Extension Manager? Heck, maybe start with just trying that before reinstalling all your CC apps.
If you are still stuck, I'd risk sending Chris Cox a PM, but not until you triple check that your video card driver is up to date from the card maker's website.
Good luck, and be sure to let us know how you get on.

Safari Page Won't Load When Connected to Plasma TV as Monitor

I am a new Mac user and was hoping someone could help me with this issue. I have a MacBook Pro 13" laptop running Mac OS X (10.6.2) and the latest version of Safari (4.0.4) and when I connect it to my Plasma TV using the displayport to DVI adaptor, Safari pages never load. It just shows loading and finally gives an error stating that the server can't be found. If I immediately unplug the external display and reload the page, it loads fine. All other applications function and display fine. The resolution of the monitor is 1024 x 768. I have also connected the laptop to my HP 20" monitor using the same connection and everything works fine. Its resolution is 1280 x 800. My ISP is Comcast and it is being delivered using a linksys wireless router. Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening or what I am doing wrong? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, SockMonkeyGirl.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to use your internet based applications when connected to the Comcast network only. I would recommend making sure that this Comcast network settings are updated to the recommend as outlined below. Also make sure that all firewalls are disabled as well.

Safari 5 won't load on Windows 7

Hi,
I've recently upgraded my Safari to Safari 5 and it does not load, just shows the spinning sign. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, placing of Apple Application Support files into Safari folder, but still no sign of improvement. Do advise, as I prefer to use Safari over other browsers.
My Laptop's specs is as follows:
Windows 7 professional
Service Pack 1
64-bit OS
ATI mobility radeon HD 530v
Thanks.
Cheers,
Kai Lin

That's promising. If it's systemwide, then we won't be touching settings or pref files (they tend to produce user-account-specific problems), and so we won't be endangering any bookmarks.
I'm inclined to first try uninstalling and reinstalling both Apple Application Support and Safari, taking a few other explicit precautions along the way. For the technique, see the following post. (Although it's for a Safari 4.0.4 reinstall, the basic principle is the same ... you may get a few more error messages nowadays when restarting the PC after uninstalling Apple Application Support, though. Just click through those.)

Safari 7 won't load google analytics

Some time in the past few days, Safari 7 running in OS 10.9 on a late 2012 iMac stopped loading Google Analytics. GA loads fine in Chrome. Have disabled all extensions and reset Safari, restarted, no dice.

Here is a link: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/?hl=en
And here is a screenshot

Safari sporadically won't load certain sites.

So I have been sorting through the frustrations dealing with what I think is a pretty widespread issue. I chose to make a new post as all my searches found the issue tacked on to other questions, and I think this is pertinent to it's own post.
Since Leopard, Safari will at random not load one site. It will say it cannot connect to the server, and that it is either down or I am not connected to the internet. No everyone says "Thats a network issue", but it isn't. It's a Safari issue. Currently the website not working is www.apple.com, pure fun there, and as we can see, I found a way around it into the discussions. Dropping www. has no affect and both versions of the url work fine in Camino/Firefox. It simply isn't a network issue.
It's getting a bit frustrating to have no way to resolve this. Quitting Safari doesn't help, renewing the DHCP lease doesn't help. I am left at a loss. Anyone find any resolution to this?

An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea to use those DNS settings can be read here:
http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:

Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
