Safari is not finding servers

Safari has stop finding some servers such as yahoo and many other web sites. I have no proxies enabled and I am not using DNS Servers. I do not think it is my ISP because these web sites work on a windows computer on the same network. Also these sites do not work in firefox. Am am using safari 2.0.3.
Thank you for any help.

Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so check Little Snitches preferences to see if access to port 443 or 80 were accidently blocked.

Safari not finding servers; reloading software did not help

This problem started with one of the security updates about 4 weeks ago. I have been on the phone with Apple, reloaded the software, and nothing works. Other browsers connect fine.
Seems others have had this same problem. Any good solutions OTHER than cleaning my harddrive and starting over. I refuse to do that for a web browser that should work.

I am having the same problem. I cannot even log onto these discussion boards using Safari. I have no problem with Omniweb, Camino, or Firefox. I also have not had any problems before the last few weeks, and I have not installed any relevent third party applications that would effect the network. The only thing I can think of is one of the recent Apple updates somehow knocked Safari out.
The problem only seems to occur with http sites. For instance, for the discussions boards I get the folllowing error:
https://support.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/ACAuthWeb.woa/wa/login?appIdKey=2dd bca23a85d20e5bf7478812379ae23&path=/login.jspa%3FsuccessURL%3D%2Fpost%21reply.js pa%3FmessageID%3D4459459
I have repaired permissions. I used Disk Utilitiy. I used TechToolPro. Nothing works. Besides reinstalling the OS, any clues?

Safari not finding servers

Hi,
Three days back - I tried installing the New Safari 3, installation was ok but I am unable to open any web sites.
It gives the error as follows:
"Safari can’t open the page “http://www.apple.com/startpage/”. The error was: “unknown error” ((null):10061) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Help menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message."
I am using a dialup to connect to Internet.
I checked for Proxies. Its fine all are unchecked.
I tried also DNS 4.2.2.2 also No improvements.
Can anybody help me resolve this problem.
Regards
Balu

I'm having the same problem. Running in Windows XP. With or without a Firewall on, installing the new Safari Beta will not connect to any site. I get precisely the same message for any page I try to connect to. I did the send Error Report to Apple, but I don't know if anybody has an answer to this. The error message doesn't give any good feedback for me to understand, all I know is that I have a Safari Browser that installed well, it brings up the application, but for no reason it can't connect to any site.
I downloaded this because I really wanted to get onto Iphone site development, but as of right now, I can't develop and locally test on my computer. And oh, by the way, this is with the latest 3.0.4 beta and this is my first install of Safari as I never installed any of the previously releases.

Safari can't find servers when using Wi-Fi

I can log onto wi-fi networks just fine. When I look at the details I see all the connection details and the wi-fi icon shows up on the phone.
But when I try to use the browser, or even just access email or maps, the phone can't locate anything. I have to shut off wi-fi and use edge.
Any ideas what's wrong?

I think my situation might be similar and I am stuck as well...
What I see is I CAN connect to my home network (secured etc) no problem.
I have been able to connect to unsecured networks before, no problem.
But the "unsecured" wireless that is at my office does NOT allow me to get to the internet. Connecting to it via a laptop does the thing where it redirects the first web page you open to a agreement page, and you need to click "yes, I will be nice" or whatever before it allows full internet access, but then it is free and clear.
From the iphone, the connection looks like it works - the iphone thinks its connected. If I look at the details I see it starts with a 169.* address, then DHCP looks like it kicks in and it gets a 42.* address and a router on that same network. The DNS it gives are on different networks (192.* and 166.*) however. Any page I try to go to in safari waits for a while then reports "...can't find the server", instead of going to the agreement page. I have tried adding the router's address in the DNS list just in case...
Is there some incompatibility with this sort of thing?

Safari/FFox "Cannot find servers", Entourage & P2P fine

So, this just started happening today after I installed a Software Update from Apple (not sure if it has anything to do with it or is just a coindidence)...
Anyway, on my Macbook, when I use Safari or Firefox I cannot open some web pages (Yahoo, Google) while I can open others (ESPN). They both say that they cannot open the pages b/c they cannot connect to the server. Af ew hours ago I could not open ANY pages!
The problems are not with the sites since I can access them from other computers.
My WiFi appears to be working as it is showing up loud and clear and both my Entourage and P2P software (Azureus) work fine.
Any ideas why some pages will load and others will not?

Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.

The internet connection was lost, when reconnected could not reconnect ipad to internet message Safari could not find server

I am trying to reconnect my wife's ipad to the internet. Keep getting message Safri cannot find server. Can anyone help

Hello Tatiana,
It sounds like you're not able to access the Internet on your wife's iPad using Wi-Fi. I found a couple of resources that will help troubleshoot Wi-Fi issues on the iPhone:

Safari can not open the page,too many redirect occurred,what can I do to remedy

I see a massage saying safari can not find the site because too many redierect occurred,what can I do to remedy the problem

This has recently (May 2012) become a routine stubling block in Safari. Every hour or two, I have to quit Safari and restart it, just to fill out my timecard. Since iCloud will not be syncing my Safari bookmarks, I will be switching to either Netscape or Google Chrome.

Safari can not access lokal Webserver

Hello,
we are using a locally installed wiki server (TWiki) for collecting information. My problem is that I can not access the webserver with OS X using Safari or Firefox. With my Windows PC it's no problem.
Safari says:
Safari kann den Server nicht finden.
Safari kann die Seite „http://ta-lab122/bin/view/“ nicht öffnen, da Safari den Server „ta-lab122“ nicht finden kann.
Safari can not find the server.
But the server is pressent in the Network on Finder. Does anybody has an Idea what service I have to activat? On other Mac PC in the Network it's also not working

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try using Open DNS
Click the OpenDNS Basic... it's free. Just follow the instructions.
See if that will help...

Safari can not upload images newly imported into iPhoto. I have to shutdown iphoto and safari before the latest import of images into iPhoto is found my safari.

When I want to upload images to facebook on safari - from a NEWLY imported album in iPhoto - Safari can not find the new album in iPhoto. Obviously the most commonly uploaded images are the recent ones. I am uploading them to a facebook page, not my own account - which is not possible from iphoto. So I have to shutdown safari and iphoto and then do the upload again. This has happened me three times now - and - well - its one of those annoying things that windows 95 could have done and super safari can't .... could apple sort this out sometime. Please.

You'll not get a rebuttal from me. I still run into Wizard of Oz moments.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Safari not finding server

why would safari not find certian servers that it used to find

I too am getting very tired of the "Safari can't find the server." error message. I am trying to open a stock market analyst website that used to open before called "The Evil Speculator". I have reset and emptied my cache. Time and date on Dashboard are OK. I saw something about Open DNS but unfortunately have no clue as to what this is about.

When I try to use Safari I get an error message that states it can not find server Xn--%20%20-1ia0eb092a

It sounds like you've got a messed-up homepage. Click the Safari menu, click Preferences, and under "Home page", re-type the page you'd prefer to load when Safari starts (eg "nytimes.com" or whatever). Close preferences and try again.

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari is not able to open this page because it can not find the server.

I too need help with this problem with my Ipod touch. Currently, I am in the Ukraine, go to a wifi cafe, access the wifi and get a clear powerful signal. Then I try to load the Google page, any page from my bookmark or write the web address in and I receive the same message; "Safari can not open this page because it can not find the server." Something is wrong with my settings and I tried to reset the options but it does not work. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The 169.254.xxx.xxx address indicates that there is a problem with DHCP server in your BT Digital Hub (Home hub?) because the iPod is taking a default IP rather than been given a suitable one. At the moment the iPod is not even in the same subnet as the router so it's no wonder that Safari can't find the Internet.
Ensure that the DHCP server is on and that you have an IP-address pool sufficiently large to serve all the devices you have. I'd expect it to be 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253. If you have FON enabled you certainly need that wider range as other people may be using your router too.

Safari 4 0 3 - not finding server

Out of the blue - Safari will not connect to server (either will firefox etc). Has worked for ages but when laptop goes into "sleep mode" none of the browsers reconnect via airport when I take out of sleep (or when I turn on computer for first time).
I can run diagnostics / assistant etc - and re-enter passwords and eventually reconnect and no problems from there. BUT, when the system goes to "sleep" or re-starts - it disconnects from safari and I have to go through the whole process again.
The airport icon (upper left of desktop) always shows full signal and connected. For the last 18 months I would only have to add a password once. Now I have to run the diagnostics or assistant to connect to the same place was recently connected too..
Thank you...

I have the same problem with my 17" MacBook Pro and 24" iMac both running Safari 4.03 and OS 10.4.11. The iMac will finally open after a min. or so. The MacBook Pro usually takes additional effort to connect. It usually receives a message "None of your trusted servers are available would you like to join appleXXXXX" our normal connection.
