Safari is not opening certain web pages

Why isn't Safari opening certain web pages?

If you are using any non-Apple "anti-virus" software, uninstall it according to its instructions and do not reinstall it.
There are a variety of other potential reasons for that message. First try restarting your Mac in "Safe Mode" (see below). Attempt to load the same webpage again. If that works it will reduce the number of potential causes.
Determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

    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 will not open certain web sites with https or http

    safari will not open certain web sites with https or http,any help will be welcome,it must be a security setting,but i have not changed any settings.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Exensions tab.
    If there are any installed, switch the button to off, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If there is more than one extension insalled, uninstall one a time, quit and relaunch Safari and test.

  • Safari won't open certain web pages

    Hi,
    I can't get Safari to open certain web pages. This has only been the case for the last week or so, I could happily view them before.
    2 examples are : www.facebook.com and www.quaysws.co.uk
    can anybody please help, it just seems a bit weird...

    I just got this link, http://www.quaysws.co.uk/flash/page1.php,
    to open in both Safari and Firefox. Mind you at the same time, I cannot get Apple.com to open in Safari I'm running Leopard with Safari 3.0.4. Whoa Safari just decided that Apple.com does exist and opened it without me first having to restart the computer. Safari definitely has some bugs but you may want to make sure that you don't have any 3rd party add-ons set up and you may have to reinstall.

  • I have an iPad 2.  Safari will not open any web pages.

    I have an iPad 2 which I have had for almost a year.  I have never had trouble with my WiFi before and now Safari is not working.  It will not open any web pages.  All of my apps (like Facebook and IMDB) that require an internet connection are working.  Safari on my iPhone is working with my WiFi.  I have tried resetting my WiFi and my iPad and that has not helped.  I took it to an Apple store and they told me nothing was wrong with it because Safari was working in their store.  When I brought it home it worked for a day and is now not working again.  Any ideas?

    From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    Press the red to delete the Safari app from this list.
    Press the home twice button when done.
    Restart Safari.

  • Safari and Firefox will not open certain web pages

    I just bought a MacBook yesterday and since then have not been able to open certain websites using firefox or safari. I have been trying to access www.recolorado.com and www.people.com and keep getting the error that the page timed out because server is not responding. I called apple support yesterday and was told to reinstall the operating system which did not help. My husband has a PC that is connected to the same internet connection and he can open these sites with no problem. I have tried resetting safari, but still can't get to these sites. Does anyone have any suggestions??

    I was having the same problem and it was driving me INSANE because every solution I found on the internet said "just use Firefox!" (my default browser). It doesn't matter whether it's Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Opera, whatever, the computer was NOT accessing these sites. It seemed to coincide with a recent OS update, but maybe that's just my imagination.
    Then my sister-in-law came over with her totally identical MacBook and complained of having the exact same problem accessing the same sites!
    On top of this, I had no problem accessing these on my iMac in Chicago last week (running the same OS and software), so I concluded it had to be our router.
    In my case, it was solved by simply rebooting the router. Have you tried this? It seems so simple, but now I can access every site that I was having trouble with. You might have to reconfigure something on your router, I don't know much about this. But my general conclusion is that something was wrong with the way the MacBook and router were communicating. Sorry I can't be more specific!

  • Safari can't open certain web pages?

    There are certain webpages, such as my credit report AMEX site that will open up in Windows and not on a MAC (using Safari, or Firefox). When I click on a button nothing happens or I get a blank page.

    Sometimes, but rarely, developers use ActiveX, which only works with Internet Explorer. The Real Estate Site referenced by the other poster is one example. However, some developers only test a site using certain browsers, and then lock out all other browsers even if they would otherwise work. One way to test to see if developers are just locking out certain browsers as opposed to using Active X, is to tell Safari to identify itself to websites as Explorer. To do that go to the Debug Menu, select user agent, and then select MSIE 6.
    Another thing to check is to see if you have the block pop ups feature enabled in Safari. Some sites do not work properly with that feature enabled. I would test the Site for you, but I do not have an account there.

  • Safari won't open certain web pages and download/stream speed slow

    I have recently been experiencing problems with viewing certain websites, content on websites, streaming video, and downloading files. Sometimes the website will load but all the images will be blue question marks. I cannot get anything to load on youtube. Streaming video on Netflix is really slow as well. My bandwidth allowance on my network is 3 mbps (I'm the only user) and I have been getting between 40-300 kbps when downloading things. I have restarted Safari, my computer, and still no change. Any idea on what's going on? Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You're not alone. Others, especially with early MacBooks, have reported slower Safari performance after updating to OS X 10.6.8. and Safari 5.1
    Using any popular search engine with the terms "mac os x 10.6.8 slow internet" will reveal dozens of similar complaints.
    I did too with my mid-2007 MacBook, similar to yours, except I have 4GB RAM (3 GB usable). After a few days of 'spinning beachball' I restored my system to OS X 10.6.7 and internet performance returned to what I remembered.

  • Safari will not open any web pages

    Was working fine; no system changes. Wi-fi, network, working fine on all other devices.

    This is for OS7 ( not Mountain Lion)
    The last version of OS7 was obsoleted in July 1997. Can you confirm that you mean OS 10.7?
    Also, are you running any anti-virus software? Any "I'll clean up your Mac" software? Both cause big problems for Safari.

  • Can not open any web page in Safari

    can not open any web page in Safari on the IPad.  All other wireless features work fine.

    If this does not work then try a reset ,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Safari will not open to home page

    I down loaded Lion and now Safari will not open to home page and preferences are set for home page?

    Thanks, At least I know I am not the only one. I have had nothing but problems down loading Lion. First I did not have enough memory so I spent $128 for up grade to 4 GB. Then I down loaded Lion and it crushed my disc and spent another $181 to up grade to a T1. Then down loaded Lion to find out a lot of bugs with it. For what was to cost me $29.95 end up costing me $339.
    You would think I would learn by now not to up grade at once. I am one of the dummies that spent $699 for the first iPhone for them too drop the price weeks later.
    If I figure out answer I will post for you asap.

  • 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.

  • After exiting proxifier software while web pages are still open in firefox, I could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted. Plz help me.

    I have a problem with Firefox when using Proxifier software. When proxifier is runing and I'm browsing web pages with firefox all things is OK. But after exiting proxifier while web pages are still open in firefox, I encounter a problem. In spite of the internet is still connected but my firefox could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted.
    You are kindly requested help me how to solve this problem not to restart firefox.

    Hi,
    [http://proxifier.com/ Proxifier] seems to be a transparent proxy. So you could try setting '''No proxy''' in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption Advanced] > '''Network''' > '''Settings'''.
    PS: A quick way to restart Firefox is to press [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/GCLI '''Shift''' + '''F2'''], type '''restart''', and hit '''Enter'''.
